Enhancing My Career Recently, I was offered a job and have since accepted the position as an electronic quality assurance representative to monitor the Department of Defense contracts of private companies in the Reno/Sparks area. I chose this position because of the experience that I gained via the military.

...JMJ Marist Brothers Notre Dame of Marbel University GRADUATE SCHOOL City of Koronadal, South Cotabato ASSIGNMENT NO. 2 Submitted to RAYMUND PAUL BLANCO, MBA By ROXANNE MAE D. MAPA MBA-1 In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements in Production and Operations Management (POM) May 2014 2. Explain the different concepts of Job Design. Upon understanding the very core of the concept of Job Design, one can take very different perspectives on every task. For example, an experienced worker would look at job design in a very different way to a fresh graduate. It is not that any of these perspectives are ‘wrong’ as such. Rather that they emphasise different aspects of job design. The reality of job design is that most of the perspectives presented in this chapter will have to be used. More often, job design is the systematic and purposeful allocation of tasks to individuals and groups within an organization. One concept is Taylorism, which stresses standardization of tasks, and properly training workers to administer the tasks for which they are responsible. Second is Socio-Technical Systems Approach, a theory that maps the evolution from individual work to work-groups. The organization itself is structured to encourage group autonomy and productivity. Third concept is the Core Characteristics Model which connects job characteristics to the psychological states that the worker brings to the job. It emphasizes designing jobs such that they lead to desired...

...with, different ideas, different beliefs, different ages/positions, and so much more. The job of a leader is to get all those different aspects of the business working in a way to where everyone can function and be productive towards the company goals. The goals could be to produce items that will sell in stores or services that will be provided to customers. Whatever the business does, it is the job of the leadership team to ensure cohesion and ensure that every employee feels like they are part of the team. Having a business with a fully functional staff is hard enough. Add in creating a team environment where employees work together to achieve goals is much harder. There are so many conflicting ideas and sometimes motivation can be a huge issue. When team motivation is down that can cause a huge decline in productivity, thus, it is very important to create a motivational plan that will encourage job satisfaction, low turnover, increase both productivity and quality work. These four items will create an output that benefits everyone. The employees will be happy working for the business and the business will be able to make profit from the productivity and quality of the product. Creating an organization motivation plan is not as easy as it may sound. As mentioned above, there are many factors that go into a business, so the motivation plan would need to encompass all of those factors and make sure that everyone turns out a winner and that no one is left out of the...

...FITNESS MANTRA MUSCULARITY AND STRENGTH In one line ,there is no relation between muscle and strength. A muscular man may be as strong/weak as a person who has never been to gym and vice-versa. Going forward , we will explore two aspects of fitness that is strength and muscularity and means to achieve both and how both are intertwined yet different. TWO TYPES OF MUSCLE GROWTH Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy ( Sarco ): This is an increase in the muscle cell fluid (sarcoplasm) within the muscle cell. This is a fast way to increase the size of a muscle, but since sarcoplasm is a fluid and can't contract, it won't make the muscle significantly stronger. Myofibrillar Hypertrophy ( Myo ) This is actual muscle fiber growth. Since muscle fibers can contract, growth in this area leads to dramatic improvements in strength. This leads to very limited gains in muscle size. DIAGRAM ILLUSTRATION OF BOTH TYPES Consider balloon as your muscle. Now there are two ways to increase the size of balloon 1) Increase the water in the balloon so balloon appears bigger — SARCO 2) Increase the thickness of balloon so that balloon can hold more water—MAYO FITNESS MANTRA Our muscle consists of about 75 % water. Water acts as a elixir both when you are trying to reduce weight and trying to gain muscle. Intake of water in range of 4-6 L daily is optimum for both weight reduction and muscle building FLUID FILLED BALLOON ( SARCO) THICK LAYER BALLOON ( MYO ) SARCO PHASE KEY POINTS :High Repetition/set...

...Yinwei (Desmond) Wang P&G is traditionally known as the industry leader in the personal care and cosmetic market. It owns so large market share so that there are little competitors can compete with them in these market; while, Gillette was the largest shaving products in the world. In 2005, P&G acquired Gillette, a strategy that helped P&G to diversify its product lines, and at the same time, enlarged its bargaining power against mass-market retailers such as Walmart and Carrefour. This deal reflects the concept—Boundaries of the Firm. Boundaries of the firm depend on two questions: 1.What set of assets or activities should be coordinated to deliver value to customers that can be captured as profits? 2. What is the most profitable way of combining and coordinating these activities? My thoughts about question 1 is: As the leader of the industry, P&G owns great assets such as its huge market share, decent products quality, more than 300 brands with great reputation and human talents. The activity here is P&G’s acquisition of Gillette and its other brands. This activity helped P&G to gain market share in new market—men care, and strengthen its clout against huge retailers thus guarantee its sales and profit performance. These result of the activity increases bargaining power, which can be its advantage over other competitors and also be a new asset of P&G its own. Actually, we can evaluate this deal through the concept of synergy. Synergy reflects both the expected...
