...How Difficult Can It Be? The unpleasant feelings a person might get when attempted to write something about they mighty not even know can be very interesting. The writing can be a thesis, a simple task of a poor student or maybe just a personal diary. The feelings gotten during a write can be described in two different stages which are physical and mental. First of all the physical feelings will be mentioned are aches, sickness and urge to eat more and more which is both related in physical and mental feelings. The writer-to-be person sits at the table takes a paper and a pencil with a nice looking both happy and curious expression in the face then places the pencil on the paper but In the moment he starts to think about the topic he is not knowledged enough to write the first thing will come to their head is more likely to be a terrible headache feels one like there is a drum beats as your heart does, than an idea. After a while the beats of headache probably will get thougher as if there is a terrifying melody playing because it’s going to be a very scary scene in a movie. And then the scary scene comes, that feeling chokes your maw, tickles your stomach, absorbs all your life energy and the inevitable final throwing out. Poor writer has already quit writing and went to the kitchen to eat like the Cookie Monster in this phase. Enjoy your meal writer! Second and the lastly the mental feelings or with another saying emotions are another trouble while writing about an...

...Running head: HOW PERSONAL CAN ETHICS BE 1 BUS520 Organizational Leadership October 20, 2011 HOW PERSONAL CAN ETHICS BE 2 Abstract Business ethics in an organization have become extremely relevant in today’s business society. Graduate schools teach business ethics to prepare leaders and managers to be more responsible. Although ethical issues often arise out of business relationships many companies strive to implement a code of ethics that eliminates room for doubt and place emphasis on the expectations for the company’s culture. HOW PERSONAL CAN ETHICS BE 3 Discuss how personal differences and preferences can impact organizational ethics. A profound quote that is used by so many is “to thine own self be true,” though this is easily spoken it is not easily able to be done. Being true as defined by moral principles involve character, integrity and self-awareness, this is one reason why many organizations develop core values and policies as their foundation. Hellriegel and Slocum (p. 10, 2011) define ethics as the values and principles that distinguish right from wrong. Personal differences and preferences are based from one’s experience and frame of reference that is developed from birth and linger long into our lives as adults. It is who we are and it’s symbolic of a woven masterpiece handed down from many generations. This impact on organizational ethics can be positive and allow the company’s culture to embrace diversity...

The main points of this essay are to give these professionals tool to make education at a higher standard. Although the use of logos is clear there is an underlining essence of pathos, and a lack of pathos. The article starts with talking about how special graduation is, and how important receiving a college degree really can be. Nevertheless it also says that the difficulty of schooling has significantly decreased in recent years. School is more about fun now then about work. Surveys have shown that “Almost 9 out of 10 reported overall they were satisfied with the college experience” (291). This study is showing that more students are having fun in college than actually receiving an education. The article goes on to say that another study was done to follow around students for all four years of college. During this time they had a lot of free time, and minimum coursework. They also noticed that little to no effort was...

...Inventory Management Meaning, concept and definition of Inventory: Inventory is stores of goods and stocks. In manufacturing, items in inventory are called stock keeping items, held at a stock [storage] point. Stock keeping items usually are raw materials, work-in progress, finished products and supplies. It is the stock of any item or resource used in an organization. Inventory control is activities that maintain stock keeping items at desired levels. In manufacturing, since the focus is on a physical product, inventory control focuses on material control. In the service sector, since the focus is on a service [often consumed as generated], inventory control focuses less on materials and more on supplies. For service organizations that are not highly labor-intense, inventories assume more importance. Transit systems maintain inventories of equipment and replacement parts. Local department stores maintain inventories of merchandise. Production/ operation management focuses on conversion of inputs into outputs of goods and services. This conversion process is reexamined to emphasize material input. Note that there may be stock points at the input [raw materials], conversion [work-in-progress], and output [product] stages. By convention, manufacturing inventory generally refers to items that contribute to or become part of a firm’s product output. Manufacturing inventory is typically classified into raw materials, finished products, components parts, supplies, and work in progress...

...How Can This Be Justified? Submitted by: Charlotte Tilley Submitted for: Ms Moser Submitted on: October 28th EWC 4UI-01 How Can This Be Justified? When Lesley Parrott states “Take a life in order to show people that it is wrong to take one,” she summarizes the thoughts of many who disagree with the death penalty by focusing on its cons. In her essay within the book The Writer Within: Dialogue and Discovery, Lesley Parrot discusses many points that convince readers to be against the death penalty. As the essay begins, one of the many points she discusses is the suffering of the victims’ families Not only does the family of the victim suffer, so does the family of the potentially innocent human who has been condemned to death row for even long periods of time, agonizingly waiting for their day to come. This is the case of Mathew Poncelet in the film Dead Man Walking. Although Mathew’s actions are in fact unforgivable, he deserved to be given a fair chance to live their lives regardless of their crimes. Attorneys are very difficult to afford and due to the fact that he was poverty stricken, Mathew was unable to afford one during his court hearing. This is the case for many and just like those before him who were treated unjustly, he has an under qualified, under equipped and unsatisfactory attorney appointed to him. Without the chance to properly defend himself, he was sentenced to the death penalty without even a second thought. Despite the fact that Mathew Poncelet...

...School: Strayer University Professor: Dr. Denean Robinson, PhD Assignment # 1 – “How personal can ethics get?” Submitted by Abdul Kamara April 21, 2011 1. Discuss how personal differences and preference can impact organizational ethics. Human resources is the core component of any organization, therefore their behavior and attitude, or preference can seriously impact the ethics of an organization. This section of this paper is going to cover the impact of personal differences, and preferences on the ethics of any organization. According to Griffin (2009), “when you go into any job, no matter where you are in the world you will come across a multitude of individual differences and preferences, so an individual difference does not affect the individual alone, but everyone around them in an organization.” In an organization, there is no way an individual can be treated the same way as the other employees because everyone’s personality is difference. “Perhaps one employee has a dynamic personality and prefers being the center of attention in every discussion, whereas others avoid crowd and enjoy being alone.” (Griffin, 2009) However, that would be the personality that represents the overall profile of stable psychological attributes which captures the unique nature of that individual. Personality combines a set of physical and mental characteristics that reflect how a person looks, thinks, acts and feels. Therefore, trying to understand another person’s...

...Explain the term ‘investment’ and analyse two possible economic benefits for the UK when it is investing overseas. Investment is spending by firms on buildings, machinery and improving the skills of the labour force. Investment is an injection into the economy, which may cause a multiplier effect to operate so that the increase in national income is likely to be larger than the initial injection. This diagram shows how an increase in investment overseas means there wil be foregn direct investment so there will be a huge flow in capital, which will allow the economy to benefit with exchange of supply and demand. Advantages Of Foreign Direct Investment There is a huge inflow in capital, technology and openings in employment. The economy benefits with exchange of supply and demand in an international market.

...Questions: 1. How should Jonathan describe the rationale of the dividend discount model (DDM) and demonstrate its use in calculating the justifiable price of common stock? The dividend discount model (DDM) states that the price of the stock at a given time is: Po= Div1/ (r-g) where; Po= value of the stock, Div1=Dividend distributed the following year, r= required rate of return, g=growth rate of dividends, the growth rate “g” is assumed to be constant. The value of the stock can also be found based on the following over time: Po = Div1/ (1+r) + Div2/ (1+r) 2 + Div3/ (1+r) 3 + (Divn +Pn)/ (1+r) n Therefore, Po, P1, P2 and Pn can be found by using the following equations; Po= (Div1+P1)/ (1+r) where; P1= (Div2+P2)/ (1+r) and Po= Div1/ (1+r) + (Div2 + P2)/ (1+r) 2. Now, P2 = (Div3+P3)/(1+r) So, Po = Div1/ (1+r) + Div2/ (1+r) 2 + (Div3 + P3)/ (1+r) 3 which can continue into infinity as indicated above with the letter “n”. 2. Being a researcher Dwayne asked Jonathan a key question, “How did you estimate the growth rate(s) used in applying the model?” Using the data given in Tables 1 and 2 explain how Jonathan should respond. Since we are assuming that the growth rate of dividends is constant we will only need to be concerned with the first and last dividend values given. This is shown by rearranging the following equation: Div1*(1+g) n = Divn, therefore g = (Divn/Div1)1/n – 1 Using the data given, we compute the growth rate to be: g = (0.94/0.6)1/9 – 1 =...

...HOW NON PERFORMING ASSETS CAN BE REDUCED 1) Repayment of loans: Repayment of term loans depends on income generating capacity of the borrowing concern. A unit, which does not earn profits, may repay a few repayments. Therefore it is necessary to fix repayment schedule for a term loan according to income generating capacity of the unit. If repayment profit, possibility may be explored in consultation with the borrowers, for replacement of the loan installments. The classification of the assets may improve, if the performance of the loan account remains satisfactory for two years after repayment. It may be mentioned that repayment of the loan installments should be done only when it is expected to get payment after the repayment. 2) Rehabilitation of Potentially viable units: If a sick unit is potentially viable, necessary efforts should be made to finalize the rehabilitation package without loss of time. Provisions need not be made for a period of one year from the date of disbursement in respect of additional facilities sanctioned under rehabilitation packages approved by BIFRV term lending institutions. If the rehabilitation program runs smoothly, it may be necessary to make provision even after one year for additional facilities provided statutory auditors are also satisfied about the progress of rehabilitation programmed. If the unit becomes viable the entire outstanding will become standard assets. Although the rehabilitation of sick units is long drawn procedure...

...Assignment 1- “How Personal Can Ethics Get?" BUS 520- Leadership and Organizational Behavior 1. Discuss how personal differences and preference can impact organizational ethics. http://www.oppapers.com/essays/Assignment-1-How-Personal-Can-Ethics/705932 To understand personal differences and preferences we must first discuss personality. An individual’s personality is defined by five major indicators which can be defined as emotional stability, agreeableness, extraversion, conscientiousness and openness. (Don Hellriegel & John W. Slocum, 2010) The one I find most impending on organizational ethics would be conscientiousness. Conscientiousness is defined by Hellriegel and Slocum as being the individuals concern of their self discipline, the ability to act responsibly and the ability to direct their behavior. A person who is more conscientious is more inclined to be responsible, careful, respectful, driven and thorough. The opposite can be said about a person that is less conscientious. Organizational ethics can be defined as the ethics outlined by the organization and how the organization is expected to respond to internal or external stimuli. (Organizational Ethics, 2011) If an individual is not conscientious in their own personal life, how can they be conscientious when it comes to upholding the organizations ethical structure? http://www.termpaperwarehouse.com/essay-on/Assignment-1/36619 Ones upbringing and life's experiences form ones world view and how one thinks...

...How Personal Can Ethics Get? Renee J Dresch Professor Jo-Rene Queensberry Leadership and Organizational Behavior- BUS 520 July 16, 2010 How Personal Can Ethics Get? Business ethics defines how an organization integrates core values into its policies and business practices. Personal ethics are the moral foundation on which people build their lives. Together, business and personal ethics form a partnership to help make a company grow and generate revenues. Discuss how personal differences and preference can impact organizational ethics. Individual differences are the physical, personality, attitudinal, and emotional attributes that vary from one person to another (Hellriegel, Slocum, 2011). Everyone possesses their own individual differences. Some of those differences vary from being extremely shy to being extremely gregarious. Some people consistently exceed expectations while others do just enough to get by. Personal differences are shaped by heredity and environment. Everyone has their own DNA that is then developed into physical differences based on family genetics. From family genetics, personality and individualism are developed. Some of this is based on upbringing: religion, school environments, family, and society. The remaining differences are based on life events. What one goes through and how it affects that person is how people perceive and react. Since no two people go through the same exact life events at the same time,...

...Assignment #1 – How Personal Can Ethics Get? Leadership and Organizational Behavior - BUS 5200030016 Margo R Coley Strayer University Dr. Maggie Sizer July 18, 2010 Introduction The term “ethics”, as it is applied to business and organizations, is difficult to precisely define. The International Business Ethics Institute defines business ethics as “a form of applied ethics” that “aims at inculcating a sense within a company’s employee population of how to conduct business responsibly” (Business ethics primer, 2008). How Do Personal Differences and Preference Impact Organizational Ethics? Personal ethics act as the foundation for your moral compass; the internal guide that tells you what’s right and wrong. They drive your actions and, to a certain extent, your emotions, on a daily basis. (Scivicque, 2007). Personal ethics are also developed by our feelings. When we do something that is against our moral code, we feel bad, guilty or ashamed. Likewise, when we do something that fits into our ethical idea of “right” we feel good, proud or happy. This causes a sort of immediate feedback for creating our moral standards and making ethical decisions. (Rhoden, 2008) It is commonly understood that there are ethics and then there are workplace or organizational ethics. Often we don’t stop to realize that there is no difference between personal ethics and ethics in the workplace; ethics are the same whether at work or in personal life. After all, ethics are about making...

...How Personal Can Ethics Get? Misty Stephens Bus520 – Leadership and Organizational Behavior Assignment #1 Most organizations have both written and unwritten ethical policies in place. Ideally, a company should be able to have a set of cut and dry ethical policies that all employees and employers abide by. Unfortunately, it cannot be that simple because ethics are an extremely personal component of one’s behavior. Personal interests, preferences and other characteristics can have a direct impact on how one interpret and/or implements ethical behavior. Objectives 1. Discuss how personal differences and preference can impact organizational ethics. Personal differences and preference can impact organizational ethics immensely. This is because people often act based on their personal preferences and everyone’s preferences are different. Therefore, having an effective universal code of ethics can often be extremely difficult. Some examples of the impact of preference on organizational ethics that were found in the case include: A. The boss hired close friends, paid them highly and gave them extended vacations. This could have a huge impact on organizational ethic because it shows preferential treatment. Also, if the employees were not qualified for their positions, they could harm the company’s performance and cause other more qualified employees to have to do more work. This could definitely affect the morale of the other employees...
