...operate with very short horizons, reacting to an ever-changing environment.’ Introduction Management is celebrated as one of the innovation whose impact is considered equalled to be one of the most changing technologies. Management is therefor said to be that body of thought that makes the organization work. Therefore management should be considered a long term goal, but due to the financial crisis, a new way of thinking have risen, organisations must adapt to short term goals to the ever changing environment. According to (Jackall 2010), developing effective management skills to deal with the challenges of the changing environment is needed for organisations to remain competitive in the world market. Proper practice of management skills should be considered for workers to help the organisations by being efficient and effective. This essay is to analyse the practice of management that has been practiced before and after regard to the change of the environment in the organisation, i.e. the global financial crisis. Proper practice of considerable management styles which have been used before and are known to affect the success or failure of an organisation will also be analysed. ‘A feature of an organizational and its management process is change’ (Kurt, 2004). Section 1: Management and organisation It is viewed that management is an act of getting work done through people. Management takes the planning and directing efforts of putting resources together to accomplish a task...

...specific functions that they are expected to execute for smooth running of the organization. The first function is planning and it is the first and the most important function in management as all the other functions depend on it. If this function is not executed properly, the other functions which will be based on planning will fail. Planning involves developing action plans aimed at achieving certain organizational goals. For example if an organization intend to expand its market, it is the responsibility of the manager to come up with a plan on how the expansion will be done. The manager can come up with strategies such as aggressive marketing into the new markets, partnering with other distributors, setting a new outlet among others. All these are action plans that a manager can develop to ensure that the organizational goals are achieved. Organizing refers to the process of instituting measures to ensure that the set plans are put to action. The manager comes up with strategies on how the plan that he has developed is to be implemented. In this process, the different roles and tasks are determined and assigned to different employees for execution. These tasks are usually delegated with authority to ensure that the employees are able to make their decisions. Leading is the third function in management and involves coordination of the different activities that are implemented in order to achieve the set plans. The manager works in collaboration with the employees and gives...

...Introduction Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard graduated in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1935. The company established by Hewlett and Packard in Packard’s garage with an initial capital investment of US$538 during a fellowship in 1939. Hewlett Packard Company commonly referred as ‘HP’. HP product lines include personal computing devices, enterprise servers, related storage devices and diverse range of printers and imaging products. HP Company has been described as one of the most successful companies of the 20th Century. The reason why this company was so successful over such a long period of time may well lie in the management of its corporate culture ‘The HP Way’. The HP Way reflects the personal core values of Bill Hewlett and David Packard, and the translation of those values into a comprehensive set of operating practices, cultural norms, and business strategies (Collins, 2005). However, since the late 1990s, the company has been experiencing a new and different culture is emerging, ‘The New HP Way’. Today, many companies take the tenets of the HP way almost for granted but when first formulated, they were visionary. This report would briefly outline ‘The HP Way’ and ‘The New HP Way’ organisations which is a balance between profits for the owners and shareholders of the company and the rights, job security and working conditions of its employees. * Organisational Behaviour Effective communication & Leadership Behaviour The HP’s way of communicating...

...There are many different types of forms of businesses in this world. People tend to choose a type of business off of what they feel or who they are working with. These forms are what guide someone into being successful or not. These forms are the most traditional ways of our economy. Throughout this paper I will be expressing each major form of business with their advantages and disadvantages. A sole proprietorship is defined as a structure of business organization that is simple to set up and allows you to have control over the business, which is ideal for small owner-operated businesses (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Keiso, 2009, p.4 ). The advantages are a sole proprietor has all the strength and decision-making power towards the company, everything can take place at the verdict of the sole proprietor owner, there are no corporate taxes, and to start a company legally is cheap to name a few. The disadvantage of a sole proprietor business is what can change the mind of a few when it comes to starting one. They are liable for all debts towards the company. Partnership is used a lot through many businesses. A partnership is formed between two or more people to invest and run a business smoothly. Advantages to name a few are Partnerships are relatively easy to establish, cost-effective as each partner specializes in certain aspects of their business, and may benefit from the combination of complementary skills of two or more people as in more knowledge, skills and contacts. The disadvantages...

...The Manufacturing Industry operates in many environments and depending on what needs to be manufactured typically has a great impact on where it will be manufactured. Automobile Manufacturers are an example of having interest in many different regions of the world. According to the Website http://www.worldometers.info/cars/(2009): which has a listing of 37 countries in which automobiles are listed as being manufactured in. Toyota in 2006 was considered the second largest automaker in the world, and according to the Website: www.toyoland.com/toyota/plants.html(2007): Toyota has 52 manufacturing facilities in 27 countries outside of Japan. Toyota President Katsuaki Watanabe, in his 2007 new year’s greeting, said that Toyota must implement thorough measures concerning quality and reinforce the foundations of manufacturing by implementing additional localization measures, including human resources development from a global perspective and further support for local affiliates to operate autonomously (Toyoland). Toyota has built plants around the world to avoid costly shipping of mass numbers of vehicles and avoid the troubles that accompany it. It also does a lot of its indirect production such as forging, die assemblies, and engines in China to lower labor costs. Working in so many different countries and allowing these plants to operate autonomously can cause issues because of countries different cultures, work ethics, and holiday schedules. Although Toyota has been operating...

...Week 3 (25 August) Tutorial: How does your life define “I”? Reflecting on my life or whatever I have been through. I don’t think I have much of a life but I am contented. So here goes... I sat down for a talk with an insurance agent to do a short survey but in actual fact we both knew that the reason behind the survey was to try to convince me to buy an insurance policy from him. Halfway through the survey, he ask whether I had any financial goals that I hope to achieve and he was quite shocked to hear that I don’t have any financial goals in life. I was also shocked by the fact that he seemed so shocked over my answer. Are having financial goals a necessity in life? My logic is that having financial goals are not really that important if I have the virtue to save. As long as I save prudently, I can achieve any financial goals that I want, isn’t it? My logic applies in my academic life too. During secondary school, teachers and friends would ask whether I would choose to go to college or to polytechnic after my ‘O’ levels. My answer would always be ‘I don’t know’ or ‘I haven’t thought of it’. Why should I give a thought on where I should go after my ‘O’ levels? As long as I do well in my ‘O’ levels, I would have the luxury of pondering that question and seeking out the many options that will be open to me if my results are good so shouldn’t I strive to study hard first and get the best results? Definition of me: l realise I think and interpret things differently from...

...Adrian Howley Classical Argument Reporting earthquakes are very critical to studying the behavior of tectonic plates. The very first recorded earthquake occurred in the year 1831 B.C. and is currently known today as the 526 Antioch Earthquake. The area affected was Antioch, China (located between the Syria and Turkey regions). Not much is known about how the report was formed. However, this historic report did include information about how the aftershocks lasted for twelve months. Other details from this report indicate that the death toll is around 250,000 to 300,000 casualties. Scientists today can only prove that the earthquake occurred between May 20 and May 29 (date translated from B.C. to Calendar Year). The first instrument to measure the seismic waves of earthquakes was invented by Charles F. Richter at the California Institute of Technology. (Bellis, 2013) He introduced his new instrument called the Richter scale, to the world of science. His invention allows scientists today to study the mechanics behind earthquakes and locate the epicenter to which the natural disaster originated. The largest earthquake recorded by the Richter scale was measured on May 22, 1960 at a magnitude of 9.5. The quake resulted in 1,886 deaths, 2,000,000 homeless, and $1,175,000,000 total in damages. (“The Largest Earthquake”, [PDF file]) If we want to see these large numbers slide down to zero, the impossible will need to be challenged by science. Skyscrapers are buildings consisting...

This improvement is especially apparent in the world of architecture and civil engineering, where there has been an unremitting ambition to surpass the existing boundaries, particularly with regards to height. The most renowned early example of a structure where height was key are the Pyramids of Giza where elevation was crucial in order to radiate power and divine authority. The tallest pyramid, standing at 146.5m, was built more than 4500 years ago, and remained the tallest manmade structure for the next 3800 years, until the 1300s when Lincoln Cathedral was built topping it by only 13.5m [1][2]...

Burj Khalifa holds the world Records on: tallest freestanding structure in the world, highest number of stories in the world, highest occupied floor in the world, highest outdoor observation deck in the world, elevator with longest travel distance in the world, and tallest service elevator in the world.3. It is said that the weight of concrete used to build the skyscraper is equivalent to 100,000 elephants and the steel used to construct the frame is equal to that of 5 Airbus 380 aircrafts.4. The building design takes after the Greek flower, Hymenocallis. The name is translated as Beautiful Membrane in Greek.5. The building was constructed by a South Korean Company called South Korean company, Samsung Engineering and Construction.6. Burj Khalifa was built at a cost of $1.5 billion, It is supplied with about 250,000 gallons of water daily, and its electricity needs can go up to 360,000 100-watt bulbs burning at once.7.

...structure. The Burj Dubai, situated in Dubai, will soon be the tallest building in the world, bypassing the previous record holder, the Taipei 101 by almost 290 metres giving it an astonishing 800 metre height. With over 2700 feet, designing and constructing such a vast building has given significant challenges to engineers and designers alike. Since the building can hold up to 35,000 people at once, it is essential that it is strong, comfortable and able to move people up and down it at a steady rate. This essay will explore how the designers and engineers went about solving these issues. One of the key problems the engineers had to overcome was effect of the wind load and how it would affect the building motions due to the extraordinary height of the tower. Wind load is something that must be taken into account for all buildings, but obviously the wind velocity increases the higher you go and since the structure is over 800 metres tall, there is guaranteed to be a large wind force acting on the building. Three different engineering firms: Skidmore, Owings and Merrill who were all working on the project, hired the RWDI (Rowan Williams Davies & Irwin Inc.) a wind and environmental engineering firm to conduct wind studies on the Burj Dubai’s design. The RWDI had worked on a number of previous projects such as the Petronas Towers and the Taipei 101 and its facilities included four boundary wind tunnels. Their job was to minimize the effects of the wind load and building motion of the...
