Moreover, the Canadian team experienced frustrated communication with the LB (UK) team and at the mean time it had to deal with confusing instructions from OBC (UK) and OBC (Toronto). There are also conflicts regarding budget issues existing between LB (UK) and OBC (UK), as well as in between LB (UK) and LB (Toronto). Q2: If Carmichael maintained centralized control of the team, how could she improve virtual team dynamics and functioning? How can she maintain a strong sense of virtual team trust and team unity? More importantly is to improve the attitude and habits of the people in dealing with the communication flow. Lacking face-to-face meetings, a virtual team may need more frequent and more explicit check-ins about their purpose. Communication norms need to be established for things like response time, frequency of videoconference, CC and BCC policies. Carmichael should require regular updates from all team members. This is the best way to ensure the team leader get a complete picture of activities. It's also important to manage communication between the organization and other stakeholders like the client-OBC.

...KKKKKK Criticism for Max Weber’s Bureaucracy Written by Dr. Wasim Al-Habil College of Commerce The Islamic University of Gaza Beginning with Max Weber, bureaucracies have been regarded as mechanisms that rationalize authority and decision-making in society. Yet subsequent theorists have questioned the rationality of bureaucracies. Which features of modern-day public bureaucracies are rational? Which are not? Buttress your argument with citations from organization and/or public administration theories. Introduction: Max Weber’s work about bureaucracy, translated into English in 1946, was one of the major contributions that has influenced the literature of public administration. However, Van Riper (1997) argues that the work of Weber on bureaucracy has no influence on American PA until the 1950’s. The word bureaucracy is derived from two words; “bureau” and “Kratos.” While the word “bureau” refers to the office the Greek suffix “kratia or kratos” means power or rule. Thus we use the word “bureaucracy” to refer to the power of the office (Hummel, 1998, 307). “Bureaucracy” is rule conducted from a desk or office, i.e. by the preparation and dispatch of written documents and electronic ones. Bureaucracy is borrowed by the field of public administration (PA) from the field of sociology. It was borrowed by PA in much a similar way that practices of business were borrowed from the field of business administration and economics. Weber (1946) presents...
