I had the pleasure of having Tian Tian as a student in my class last year and would be happy to provide a recommendation on her behalf for the Research Analyst position at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Tian was one of the best students in my class and consistently did A level work on all assignments. The course required term papers on selected countries and her papers on Mongolia and Taiwan were professional caliber. Both papers required sourcing and analyzing macroeconomic and firm specific data. Her work was technically competent and the presentation provided a nice assessment of the economic prospects and investment opportunities available in these countries. Tian Tian also regularly contributed to the in-class discussions and consistently made well thought out and insightful comments. Tian Tian and I have remained in communication since she graduated and several times she has made me aware of articles that were of relevance to my class which I much appreciated. Again, I want to vouch for Tian Tian’s technical competency and also her ability to write and speak...

...THE MORAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGERS 'The moral responsibilities of managers, whether in the public or private sphere, generally include upholding the law, fulfilling the legitimate duties of their positions, observing relevant codes of ethics and otherwise abiding by generally held moral principles such as honesty and not knowingly doing harm.' (Teehankee, 2007) In the past, traditional duties of managers were recognised to only focus on administrative work and controlling the employees so as to ensure productivity was efficient and profitable. However, Henry Mintzberg, a Canadian academic, disagreed with the typical view of mangers and found that managers were not the 'robotic paragons of efficiency' that they were usually made out to be (The Economist, 2009), but were figures of authority that had great responsibility to ensure employees were happy, safe and motivated within the workplace. Mintzberg's book, 'the Nature of Managerial Work' looked at the different responsibilities and 'managerial roles' that are enforced on a manager today. He divided the roles into three categories: a)Informational b)Interpersonal and c)Decisional. Interpersonal roles are those important to the moral duties of a manager, and Mintzberg rated these just as highly as administrative duties. These interpersonal duties include role and moral responsibilities included being a “figurehead” for employees i.e. someone the workers can come to for help and who can voice the complaints and opinions...

...Managers in the 21st century have faced many challenges differentiating greatly from the previous decades this is because the world has been moving at a faster rate with a whole rage of new innovation ideas, development, etc.The organizational sectors have becoming more dependent upon professional managers, who can bring success to an organization. Issues such as globalization and decentralization add to the need for organizations to hire flexible managers capable of leading.

...How to be a better General manger As someone wise said ''start with the end in mind '' before this class I only know what the end was but not the process of push start. for me before class I see it like there was a taxi waiting outside of my house I know I want him to take me to the best places I just did not know how I am going to lead him there. So vivid management class was all about bringing people together and work together to get the job done I just did not know how to bring them to one place work together. Coming from low masculinity highly collectivist country where things are yet in the process of growing people are taught that they must look after one another, guide the young once, remain with old family values and at the end of the day regardless of how a horrible day that you had, saw a young boy get hit by a car or you just came from your daughter’s wedding and she is expecting a baby. You have to share your news with the people that cares about you and they make sure you get the best treatment regardless when you get to the house at all time because they yet not know if you had good or bad news for them always making sure the napkin or the knife is there to cut the cake. In my country Ethiopia there is one thing that takes huge part of peoples day to day life in every corner every town and every single house and for most people it is internet that made the people stay connected with each other instantly so easy you don't even have to meet the person...

...non-profit entities, to small private businesses and within all levels of each organization. An organization is composed of 10 functional areas in which managers play an important role in order to meet the firm’s objectives. I am going to touch upon the various roles a manger plays within these 10 functional areas of a business: Law, Human Resources Management, Leadership, Accounting, Finance, Economics, Research and Statistics, Operations Management, Marketing, and Strategic Planning. The legal department has the responsibilities of protecting the organization from any legal issue, ensuring all aspects of the business are complying with any state laws and federal laws. A manager’s role within the legal department various depended on his position, but ultimately they are the legal experts within organization when legal issues appear and must stay current on key federal, state and local laws and regulations. “HR professional in small to midsize companies often wear many hats. Their time can be spread across staffing functions, employee relations, benefits and compensation, human resources information systems, payroll, organizational development, and even facilities management in some cases” (Post et al., 2010). Mangers within the HR department either directly perform these responsibilities or delegate and oversee. Leadership is not a department within an organization, but the process of leading in which all levels of managers must strive to improve on, since this directly effects...

...Duties and responsibility Similarities. The similarities of duties and responsibility that cabin crew and event mangers have is they both have to deals with customers face to face. For example cabin crew members would work to ensure safety with passengers on the plane. As for Event mangers they would have to personally speak to their customer and discuss what they would want, going over the risk assessment that may happen during their event. Cabin crews that work in British Airways needs for example would need to create relationships with their members and services partnership. This is so they can continue to use their services and results when working together will be better. This is the same for event mangers as they would need to keep a good relationship with its partnerships as they would later on need its services for another client. This is because many clients an event manger works with require the same services and products. Both jobs needs to keep providing excellent services and behaviour to all customers they deal with. What is also the same is that both jobs needs to be on time. For a cabin crew member they would need to be on time as they work with the time of the airlines departures. They would need to come earlier as they would need to check if all the equipment is working and bring on board their own bag before the flight starts. As for an event manger they would need to be earlier to event that they have created with the customer. This is because they would need...
