...|Lesson Synopsis: | This unit develops an understanding of electrostatics by the use of demonstrations, simulations, and modeling. The general theme is that the current model of matter consisting of electrically neutral atoms composed of charged particles is integral to the understanding of electrical forces. The lesson begins with traditional activities of charging objects by friction and comparing electrostatic forces to magnetostatic forces. The traditional experiments are explained in terms of the model of an atom, and the “attract and repel force rules” are explored and expanded. Devices to create, store, and measure charge are utilized in experiments. The formal theory of Coulomb’s law is introduced, and problems are assigned utilizing that theory. Elements of the historical development of electrostatics and planetary model of the atom are researched, and students have an assignment describing contributions of historically important scientists. Additional concepts of electric fields, potential difference, and properties of conductors and insulators are developed through experiment, demonstration, and discussion. TEKS: |P.5 |The student knows the nature of forces in the physical world. The student is expected to: | |P.5A |Research and describe the historical development of...

...Operations Strategy Operations Strategy PGP – Term 8, 2016 Overview: Operations is the ‘how’ we do things regarding of what function we work in an organization – Accounting, HR, IT, Marketing, Operations, R&D, Sales or Supply chain – and strategy is the general direction for aligning operations in the organization to its strategic objectives and within its context. All CEO surveys in recent years list among their top-5 concerns: how to grow revenues, how to make their organization more efficient, and how to lower costs. Achieving these is the remit of operations strategy. Overall we wish to figure out how we can achieve desired strategic objectives of an organization across multiple functions, and even across organizations through analysis –qualitative as well as quantitative – and managing change.

...SYLLABUS Course Information and Policies: Textbook: No textbook is required for the course. Prof. Antonoff’s, & some my own, written introductions to the course sessions will be provided, along with links to online articles & material that you are expected you to read. Academic Integrity: It goes, I hope, without saying that all the principles and standards that sustain academic integrity are just as applicable in the online environment as they are in the classroom. Our interactions with one another must be based on mutual respect, and our inquiries guided by a firm commitment both to pursue the truth and to acknowledge the possibility that we might be wrong. Given the ease with which information flows across the Internet, it is particularly important that every student understand and respect the rules governing academic honesty. We will operate on the assumption that every class member is thoroughly familiar both with UMass, Boston Code of Student Conduct. If you're not, please consider these documents to be your first reading assignment!

We will start with a brief overview of change, and general intervention concepts. Using Jick and Peiperl’s outline, we will then successively discuss the change process in terms of the challenges of change, envisioning change, implementing change, the recipients of change, and the change agents. There are many subtopics embedded in each of the latter topics such as team building, large-group interventions, structural design, work design, employee involvement, compensation systems and...

I believe Springfield Municipally is ready to enter the twenty first century as a metropolitan city that offers a Gigabyte Network by direct connect or wireless connect. “Only in Chattanooga, Tennessee is 1 Gigabit-per-second Internet speed available to every home and business - over 150,000 of them - throughout the entire community. Urban or rural, business or residence, Internet speeds that are unsurpassed in the Western Hemisphere – from 50 Megabits-per-second all the way up to one gigabit-per-second are accessible here. “Chattanooga's community-owned electric utility EPB is installing a 100% fiber to the premises network. Built to run America's first true Smart Grid and offer residential high speed Internet, video and telephone services, the network was also built to empower our community in new ways. Because bandwidth is no problem, Chattanooga's Fiber Optic network enables upload and download speeds 200 times faster than the current national average, and 10 times faster than the FCC's National Broadband Plan (a decade ahead of schedule). Chattanooga, Tenn. show how a municipal broadband network can pay dividends when community leaders focus on the applications a gigabit network can deliver and consider the long-term economic development potential.

List the advantages of performance simulation tests over written tests. 3. Define four general skill categories. 4. Describe how career planning has changed in the last 20 years. 5. Explain the purposes of performance evaluation. 6. Describe actions that can improve the performance-evaluation process. 7. Clarify how the existence of a union affects employee behavior. 8. Identify the content in a typical diversity-training program. CHAPTER OVERVIEW An organization’s human resource policies and practices represent important forces for shaping employee behavior and attitudes. In this chapter, we specifically discussed the influence of selection practices, training and development programs, performance evaluation systems, and the existence of a union. Selection Practices An organization’s selection practices will determine who gets hired. If properly designed, they will identify competent candidates and accurately match them to the job and the organization. The use of the proper selection devices will increase the probability that the right person will be chosen to fill a slot. While employee selection is far from a science, some organizations fail...

...MULTINATIONAL MANAGEMENT COURSE OUTLINE (2007-09) The globalization of the world economy and the related liberalization of the Indian economy are radically changing the business landscape. The international capital flows into India have increased several-fold since the onset of liberalization; Indian companies are becoming multinationals in their own right--a trend certain to intensify in the coming years. All in all, multinationals are becoming more ubiquitous as an instrument of economic and business activity. The business leaders of tomorrow need to be trained today in the unique requirements of multinational management. It is toward this objective that the proposed course in Multinational Management is being offered. The course combines a number of sub-disciplines from the fields of social sciences and business administration. It is broad in sweep; its depth is pitched at the PGP level. The overall course is divided into four modules, as follows: Module I--International Business Context-- provides an historical perspective on globalization and presents a viewpoint on its future direction. It also covers some of the globalization drivers including international trade and investment and how they spawn multinational activity. The phenomenon of domestic and cross-border corruption and bribery, often an inherent part of such activities, is discussed. Finally, it postulates how countries and companies can develop competitive advantage and defines the implications...

O'Reilly III; Jeffrey Pfeffer Product #: HR1A Length: 24p Teaching Note: HR1T B case#: HR1B Abstract AES develops and operates electric power plants all over the world, and by late 1996, has approximately 20,000 employees. But, the corporation has no human resources staff, either at corporate headquarters in Arlington, VA, or in any of its operating facilities. Moreover, the company has very little centralized staff at all--little or no strategic planning, no environmental department, and almost no legal staff. The question is, could and should the company continue to operate in this same way, with little specialized staff, as it continues to expand and geographically diversify? Another question is, how had the organization been able to be so successful without developing and relying on specialized expertise? Subjects Covered: Delegation of authority; Electric power; Human resources management; Management philosophy; Organizational structure; Teams In 1994 both United Airlines and Continental Airlines launched lowcost airlines-within-an-airline to compete with Southwest...
