...In my opinion, according to our discussions and analysis of oppression, I think oppression is mostly occurred to those who lived in poverty, low finances, and poor background of education. In fact, this is what hinders people's potential of achieving their goals and the pursuit of happiness. In addition, these impacts will also make it difficult for these people to see themselves as a member of a society that is wealthy. In this case, when a person had or lived in situations like these they are far more likely to experience hardships and difficulties in life. On top of this, oppression will more likely to overcome an individual mindset, which comes from having a growth mindset to a fixed mindset. In other words oppression defines the person who’s being oppressed instead of the person overcoming the oppression. I think the best way to overcome oppression, is to have the right mindset. Even though we come from different backgrounds and different situations we face, we are letting our negative thoughts stop us from doing what's best for us. According to Stefanie...

...impacted the functionality and prosperity of people, organisations and how they are managed. Of these impacts, a vast collection of influences have lead managers to both realise and take advantage of highly rewarding business opportunities as well as confront challenges that could be detrimental to the success of their organisations. The purpose of this essay is to examine the effects of globalisation on the management of organisations and people via the analysis of particular environments including the economic, cultural, technological and sustainable environments. Each factor, having considerable correlation with each other will delve into issues including anti-capitalist backlash, parochialism and geocentric attitudes, technological acquaintance and the eco-effectiveness of decisions made by leadership. The analysis indicates that challenges managers face from globalisation in managing people and organisations will need to be addressed by the adaptation of geocentric attitudes covering the embrace of a global leadership mindset, the appreciation of cultural diversity and the development of technological know-how to accompany the existing and essential leadership skills including change management, decision making and strategic rational. ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT Primarily considering the economic environment and the initial rise of globalisation is imperative to understanding the general welfare of national economies as a part of the global economy and is undoubtedly a solid contributing...

...“I Am Sam” Character Analysis Part 2: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a mental disorder. People with Autism usually have communication deficits such as inappropriate responses in conversation or difficulty interacting with people their own age. People diagnosed with ASD also tend to be over dependent on routines and are sensitive to changes around them in the environment. Sam in the movie, “I Am Sam,” is shown to have ASD. He is shown throughout the movie having trouble communication with others, especially those around his own age. When Sam hosts a birthday party for his daughter Lucy, he is seen to be dressed up as a child with a party hat and interacts well with the children. During the many conversations Sam is involved in he is seen to stutter and always get off track. Sam is also shown to not realize what personal space is. In one scene when the lawyer is having a meeting with a couple the woman starts crying. In reaction to this Sam enters the room without knocking and starts to hug the woman. In the movie it is obvious that Sam shows many signs of having Autism. Part 3: Watching this movie has taught me a lot about intelligence. This movie has taught me that intelligence is shown in a variety of ways. While some people may have the brainpower to solve complex mathematical problems other people show a different form of intelligence that is unique to them. This is shown through the movie’s main character, Sam. Sam is intelligent in his own way, this is shown through...

...Hp-Compaq Environment Analysis HP is one of the largest companies in the world but despite its success and multinational reach, it is still subject to forces beyond its control. Hence, in order to properly defend its empire and plan for growth, management of HP have to understand the way the external world works, where it is progressing towards and how it all affects HP. Three broad and different categories form the external environment of HP and these are the general, industry and competitor environments. The more relevant and significant aspects of each will be delved into for the purposes of this analysis. General Environment The general environment affects HP’s operating landscape as well as the markets it competes in. Attempting to strategise without understanding these forces will be disastrous to HP. HP’s presence around the globe requires a multi-ethnic workforce and this exposes it to different value systems. If HP were to impose its successful Silicon Valley mindset on a subsidiary in a different continent, it might not be able to observe the same performance from employees. Even though there are signs of increased receptiveness to American culture from other countries, a drastic change to centuries of heritage cannot be expected. Moreover, as mentioned in the case, the HP-Compaq merger will also raise organisational culture issues and it will be a complicated process in optimising synergy in two geographically large companies. The origin of HP and its future...

...understandings of what is important and where attention should be directed. Entrepreneurship is exciting and valued and most agree that while academics and others can’t help every person to be an entrepreneur, but can help those who are interested with tools, skill acquisition and ideas. The emergence and growth of women-owned businesses have contributed to the global economy and to their surrounding communities. The presence of women around the world driving small and entrepreneurial organizations has had a tremendous impact on employment and on business environments worldwide. Women-owned firms comprise between one-quarter and one-third of all the businesses in the formal economy, and are expected to play an even larger role in informal sectors (Delaney, 2002). Entrepreneurship refers to an individual’s ability to turn ideas into action. It includes creativity, innovation and risk taking, as well as the ability to plan and manage projects in order to achieve objectives. To achieve success, growth and employment, we need to stimulate the entrepreneurial mindsets of young women, encourage innovative business start-ups, and foster a culture that is friendlier to entrepreneurship and to the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The important role of education in promoting more entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviors is now widely recognized. Entrepreneurial programmes and modules offer students the tools to think creatively, be an effective problem solver, analyze...

...Analysis of An Issue "What really matters in the leadership of business and organizations is getting results, reaching benchmarks, and achieving success." Although the issue of what constitutes success is not black and white and some experts object to the statement that what really matters in organizational leadership is getting results, I agree with the above statement because achieving results benefits stakeholders and failing hurts both stockholders and stakeholders. First, achieving results is the most important aspect of leadership because they benefit the owners and stakeholders. For example, stockholders in struggling companies are adamant that new management be found that can produce better financial returns and deliver gains in the stock price. Just as it is unfair to pay for a service that is being poorly rendered, so it is unfair for a business and its leaders to be compensated and viewed as achieving what really matters while they fail to meet the objectives of the owners. Second, when a business or organization adopts a mentality that what matters are not results, it often fails and hurts stakeholders. For example, in Hurricane Katrina, the American people saw a government that paid little attention to achieving results and succeeding in its job. As a result of a mindset that what mattered were not results, the government demonstrated considerable apathy and the victims of the hurricane suffered. As New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Louisiana Governor...

...The Global Leadership Mindset BY EILEEN M. ROGERS The integration of multiple geographies, cultures, nationalities, ages and styles in enterprises around the world is having an enormous impact on business relationships. Leaders today need a new, specialized set of skills if they are to be successful. 18 Chief Learning Officer • June 2010 • www.clomedia.com ueled by social networks and technology, universal collaboration is becoming a daily business reality. Global data and knowledge are now accessed on devices that people can hold in the palms of their hands. Jim Kouzes, renowned leadership expert, recently described this shift by stating that “while the content of leadership has remained the same over the past 20 years, the context has not.” Leaders striving for success today must be able to master three new levels of competence: • Global business acumen: The new financial, industry, functional and technical skills needed to navigate a market characterized by rapid evolution of business models, markets, products, and mergers and acquisitions. • Global mindset: The capacity to engage in a boundaryless and synthesizing cognitive process that identifies opportunity and innovation in complexity. • Global citizenship: A potent combination of geographic, political, economic, governmental, legal, cultural, technological and environmental savvy that informs business strategy formulation and execution. Global Mindset vs. Global Citizenship A global mindset includes the ability...

...Session 2 : Foundations of strategic marketing Can you say what your strategy is? Companies that don’t have a simple and clear statement of strategy are likely to fall into the category of those that have failed to execute their strategy or those that never had one. Often many employees are frustrated that no clear strategy exists for the company. Leaders of firms assume that the initiatives described in the documentation that emerges from an annual budget or a strategic planning process will ensure competitive success; they fail to appreciate the necessity of having simple and clear strategy statement that everyone can internalize and use. A well understood statement of strategy aligns behaviour within the business: it allows everyone in the organization to make individual choices that reinforce one another. With a clear definition an executives know what they’re trying to create and implementation becomes simpler as the strategy can be communicated and easily internalised. Most executives don’t actually know what all the elements of strategy statements are, which make it impossible for them to develop one. Mike Rukstad identified three components (objective, scope and advantage) of a good strategy statement and believed that executives should be forced to be clear about them. Any strategy statement must begin with a definition of the ends that the strategy is designed to achieve; the definition of the objective should include not only an end point but also a time...

...Case Analysis DIVERSEY in India Submitted byNavdeep Jha (26NMP61) Anand Bajpai (26NMP62) Anirudh Singh (13EM01) Sudeshna Goswami (13EM02) Executive Summary: Diversey works in the niche area of cleaning & hygiene. The company focuses on providing end-to-end solutions for cleaning, sanitation and hygiene across 160 countries. Diversey launched its operations in India during 1998. By 2012, the persistent awareness efforts on Science of Cleaning in Indian market, coupled with superior quality products & services have helped Diversey to gain more than 30% share in the organized sector. However, the unorganized market players accounted for more than 70% of the total cleaning market share. With a vision of achieving a 3-fold increase in sales growth in India over the next 3 years, Mr. Himanshu Jain (MD & VP Diversey India) was facing hurdles in penetrating the cleaning market in India. Himanshu was not sure of the best way to generate awareness that can alter the cost conscious & one-sizefits-all mindset of customers. He was also looking for a systematic approach towards removing the inefficiencies in operational setup & inventory management so as to reduce overhead costs. The recommended plan for Diversey India is to invest in advertising campaigns in India where potential of mid-size unit customers is high. This would include awareness campaigns on science of cleaning, benefits of using high quality global standard products and services, and demerits of using cheap & low...
