He could communicate with his entire student and direct the class successfully and made a perfect study environment. • Secondly, he could control the class without any difficulties as he used to monitor that his students are focussing on his class lectures.

He always negotiated with us before taking any decisions such as taking quizzes, mid-term or final exam dates, assignment submission etc. He always made sure that we are all comfortable of his decisions that he used to take mainly discussing. • In addition, another Mintzberg Managerial role that he played was the figure head.

.... Evaluate Microsoft’s strategy in good and poor economic times. In Good Economic Times: Microsoft is the world’s most successful software company. The original mission of this company is “a computer on every desk and in every home, running Microsoft software.” Microsoft's tactic was to be a software manufacturer and make its operating system available to computer manufacturers for use in their personal computer products, and then sell the owners of PCs software to run on that operating system. The history was begins in early 1980, where Microsoft creates DOS Operating System for IBM computer. The company used this inertial success with IBM to sell software to other manufacturer, quickly making Microsoft a major player in this industry.

...technical skills of his/her generation. In doing so, the teacher ensures the survival of man and its civilisation. In fact, the teacher is the key to quality education, through his training and dedication. He/She is often perceived as the adoptive parent of the child and normally, the latter looks to his teacher not only for knowledge but also for wisdom and moral and ethical values. The functions of a teacher in the classroom are numerous to ensure the correct development of his/her students. Among these functions are * To ensure students are having the proper education in a safe environment * To ensure teaching and especially learning is efficient * To increase the students’ self-esteem and personal confidence * To prepare students with the necessary knowledge, character and skills for higher education and to live in society In order to successfully achieve the above-mentioned functions, a teacher needs to act as a manager in his/her classroom. In other words, the teacher should possess some important managerial skills. A manager is normally defined as someone who is in charge of his/her organisation and is responsible for the proper functioning the organising in every aspect.

...Case Study: Chapter 8 Aaron Lambert Saint Leo MBA 540 Managerial Economics Analyzing Managerial Decisions: Leaving New York for the Farmlands of Illinois While the co-workers may be rightly supportive of the individual’s aspirations, they are likely not qualified to advise him on this matter. The individual claims to have $800,000.00 saved from bonuses at his current place of employment. Based on that information alone, it appears that he is considering walking away from what seems like a fairly secure and profitable situation at his current job and committing to a new and less certain endeavor. With reports implying that demand for corn will soar the farming proposition may seem like a good idea; however, our potential farmer needs to consider other factors. The costs associated with acquiring the land are known and estimated to be $800,000.00, but there are other costs involved that are considerable and quite fixed. He will need to purchase farming equipment and machinery, which will require much more cash upfront in addition to the land. These fixed costs definitely need to be factored into the decision but are omitted in the text. If he has a lot more of that bonus money remaining, he could purchase the machinery outright. If paying cash is not possible he will need to take up a loan, lease, or rent; either option resulting in additional expenses incurred each period. Based on an article published by the University of Illinois in 2014, corn farmers in Illinois...

...would follow and remain with them throughout both of their careers and beyond, as they were also friends. Each of these men have differing ways in which they lead their teams, but there are leadership styles which they shared when it came to coaching. When taking the model which Robert Katz developed we can see there are skills that did account for their success. Coach Knight held two of the leadership traits that were professed by Katz. Those were technical skills and conceptual skills. He had the ability to know exactly was needed and how to make changes based on each individual situation. According to Katz’s model, Coach Knight did not have human skills. He was known for his roughness (e.g; using high levels of profanity and throwing objects onto the court). He did not have human kindness or humble qualities. A professional career basketball player by the name of Isiah Thomas was also coached by Coach Knight. Thomas remarked that Coach Knight was intimidating and used much profanity while coaching him. (Alford, 1990) The contrast is apparent when comparing Coach K. to Coach Knight. When examining Katz’s model, Coach K. possessed conceptual and human skills. Coach...

...becoming a great leader. It takes many years of practice to perfect a craft within certain individuals. Some crafts are more defined than others; never the less these skills are done to win over individuals in work environments and major league football teams. According to Katz (1955) there are three basic administrative needs that should be present for managers to be effective which are conceptual, human, and technical. Coach K’s approach contained both conceptual and human skills. Coach K was able to come up with an approach that was comfortable for both him and the team. He did not want to come with a lot of rules that no one would follow. Growing up Coach K spent a lot of time with his family. As he became an adult his wife and children were very important to him. This is the typed of approach he took with his team. Coach K lacked in my opinion in the technical area. He was not all about a lot of drills and long practices. Coach Knight’s approach contained conceptual and technical skills. Coach Knight had very little room for error. He drilled step by step plays into his players. He believed in practicing long hours and if you could not follow the rules you would be kicked out of practice. Coach Knight taught a course “Methods of Coaching” at Indiana University. Coach Knight lacked human skills. He had many allegations of him putting his hand on the players and cursing at them. According to Blake and Mouton’s leadership grid the type of leadership style which...

Analysis of the conflict was done with the aid of Blake and Mouton’s model of conflict management. The paper reflects on a real life observation using brightlands care home.

Conflict in the workplace is a well known daily phenomenon and it is on the increase. It is worth saying that a conflict free company never existed and will never exist. Tension, cultural differences, aggressions, antagonisms, negative attitude and frustration will usually exists especially wherever men are forced to live and work together. . Burton (1972) said in his book that Conflict, like sex is an essential creative element in human relationships. It is the means to change, the means by which our social values of welfare, security, justice and...
