(Cascio 2013) For example with Landslide limousine all job duties and description should be defined and there should be training in place to make sure of the employees success. Organizational analysis Focuses on identifying whether training supports the company’s strategic direction, whether managers, peers, employees support training activity and what training resources are available. (Cascio2013) So with your current budget as a startup company we recommend you be conservative with your training since resources will be limited. We suggest a lot of training should be grassroots or hands on training. Demographical analysis Speaks to the need of a certain group such as older workers, women, and managers at a different level.

ISSN: 2309-1185 Journal web link: http://www.jett.dormaj.com Taming the Monster - Attabad Landslide Dam Fiaz Hussain Shah, Arshad Ali*, Muhammad Naseem Baig National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan Received: 06/08/2013 Accepted:28/08/2013 Published: 08/09/2013 Abstract Hindukash - Karakoram - Himalayan (HKH) is a hazard prone region where triggering of landslides due to seismic, geological, hydrological or anthropogenic reasons is a common phenomenon. On 4th January 2010, a massive landslide at Attabad swept the low lying Surat village and blocked Hunza River thereby creating a dam resulting into a huge lake upstream. As a result of preliminary planning, emergency response was launched by Frontier Works Organization (FWO), a civil engineering component of Pakistan Army Engineers on instruction of the Federal Government and a 24 meters deep spillway cut was made through which the water started flowing on 29th May 2010 resulting into lowering of water in the lake. A detailed planning ensued and different proposals including those of Chinese, Americans and FWO were considered and finally based on cost-benefit analysis, the indigenous effort for execution was approved. FWO planned the operation in five stages whereby 675 meters long spillway was to be deepened by 30 meters having a width of approximately 60 meters resulting into lowering...

...employees. Environmental Analysis “Environmental analysis is the evaluation of the possible or probable effects of external forces and conditions on an organization’s survival and growth strategies” (Business Dictionary, 2014). Stonefield should consider all external effects toward the company when training employees. Anything that can happen most likely will happen when it comes to environmental effects. For example, the stock market crashing and millions of jobs lost would be the result of an environmental effect. Organizational Analysis “Organizational analysis is the process of reviewing the development, work environment, personnel, and operation of a business or another type of association” (Business Dictionary, 2014). When management periodically performs a detailed organizational analysis, the company can identify problems that have arisen, but have not been addressed yet. According to Cascio, W.F., 2013, organizational analysis focuses on identifying whether training supports the company’s strategic direction (Cascio, 2013). Demographic Analysis According to Business Dictionary 2014, demographic factors are socioeconomic characteristics of a population expressed statistically, such as education level, age, income level, marital status, religion, birth rate, sex, occupation, death rate, average age at marriage, and average size of a family. A census is a collection of the demographic factors associated with every member of a population. The demographic analysis determines...

...THIRD GRADE SCIENCE GRADE LEVEL CONTENT EXPECTATIONS SCIENCE PROCESSES 3 v.1.09 Welcome to Michigan’s K-7 Grade Level Content Expectations Purpose & Overview In 2004, the Michigan Department of Education embraced the challenge of creating Grade Level Content Expectations in response to the Federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. This act mandated the existence of a set of comprehensive state grade level assessments in mathematics and English language arts that are designed based on rigorous grade level content. In addition, assessments for science in elementary, middle, and high school were required. To provide greater clarity for what students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of each grade, expectations for each grade level have been developed for science. In this global economy, it is essential that Michigan students possess personal, social, occupational, civic, and quantitative literacy. Mastery of the knowledge and essential skills defined in Michigan’s Grade Level Content Expectations will increase students’ ability to be successful academically, and contribute to the future businesses that employ them and the communities in which they choose to live. Reflecting best practices and current research, the Grade Level Content Expectations provide a set of clear and rigorous expectations for all students, and provide teachers with clearly defined statements of what students should know and be able to do as they progress through school.

...11 Project risk management Planning for the unknown Gee whiz, Bobby! What if these ropes break? Don’t worry, Sally! I took care of it with risk planning. You can swing away without a care in the world! Even the most carefully planned project can run into trouble. No matter how well you plan, your project can always run into unexpected problems. Team members get sick or quit, resources that you were depending on turn out to be unavailable—even the weather can throw you for a loop. So does that mean that you’re helpless against unknown problems? No! You can use risk planning to identify potential problems that could cause trouble for your project, analyze how likely they’ll be to occur, take action to prevent the risks you can avoid, and minimize the ones that you can’t. this is a new chapter 543 risks might occur What’s a risk? There are no guarantees on any project! Even the simplest activity can run into unexpected problems. Any time there’s anything that might occur on your project and change the outcome of a project activity, we call that a risk. A risk can be an event (like a fire), or it can be a condition (like an important part being unavailable). Either way, it’s something that may or may not happen... but if it does, then it will force you to change the way you and your team will work on the project. If your project requires that you stand on the edge of a cliff, then there’s a risk that you could fall. If it’s very windy out or the ground is...

...Faculty of Economics Seminar paper on the subject: English 4 Crisis management June, 2012 Crisis management is the process by which an organization deals with a major event that threatens to harm the organization, its stakeholders, or the general public. The study of crisis management originated with the large scale industrial and environmental disasters in the 1980. Three elements are common to most definitions of crisis: (a) a threat to the organization, (b) the element of surprise, and (c) a short decision time. Venette argues that "crisis is a process of transformation where the old system can no longer be maintained." Therefore the fourth defining quality is the need for change. If change is not needed, the event could more accurately be described as a failure or incident. In contrast to risk management, which involves assessing potential threats and finding the best ways to avoid those threats, crisis management involves dealing with threats before, during, and after they have occurred. That is, crisis management is proactive, not merely reactive. It is a discipline within the broader context of management consisting of skills and techniques required to identify, assess, understand, and cope with a serious situation, especially from the moment it first occurs to the point that recovery procedures start. Introduction Crisis management consists of: * Methods used to respond...
