...Metro Bank Marsha Brown was the new manager of a suburban office of Metro Bank. The branch office was experiencing low morale and lower productivity than expected. One of the difficulties was that the office served as an informal training center for young managers. New hires who needed experience as loan officers or assistant branch managers were assigned here for training. When they reached a certain level of competence, they were promoted out of the branch office. This practice was demoralizing to the less mobile tellers and other assistants, who felt exploited and saw no personal reward in “training their boss.” After some checking with her boss and other people at corporate headquarters, Marsha concluded that it would be impossible to change this program. Her branch was one of those considered to be essential for executive development in Metro Bank. During her first few months on the job, Marsha got to know her employees quite well. She reviewed performance records and met with each employee in the branch to talk about the person’s career aspirations. She learned that many of her employees were quite capable and could do much more than they were presently doing. However, they had never seen themselves as “going anywhere” in the organization. Marsha searched for a unique vision for the branch office that would integrate the needs of her employees with the objectives of the executive development program, and in the process better serve the bank’s customers...

As an emirate that is known very little for the oil that it produces, it has made a name for itself by providing the best tourist location for anyone looking for the perfect weather, extravagant amenities, jaw dropping architecture, high-end fashion and entertainment unlike any other place in the world. Dubai’s leaders, the Maktoum family, knew oil was a temporary resource that would eventually run out. The family wanted other revenue sources to be made from other places and the prince had a vision that has made Dubai the Jewel in the Desert (Temporal, 2006). Dubai joined six other states to form what is known as the Federation of the United Arab Emirates in 1971. Many have wondered, the likelihood for such a small nation to grow so quickly...

Prepared under the supervision of Dr. Jennypher N. Fenomeno. INTRODUCTION Informal types of cooperatives are as old as human history. Whenever people come together voluntarily to help one another by providing a group service, they actually had a simple form of cooperative. But the cooperative movement as we know it today had its beginnings in Europe during the modern times as a result of the Industrial Revolution. In several European countries, the first cooperatives were organized by workingman who were seeking to change the wretched conditions brought about by the new age of machine and factory production that began in England two hundred years ago, and soon after in other countries. In England, the weavers and the other workers in the textile industry were the hardest hit, and they were among the first to organize cooperatives for the purpose of improving their desperate economic and social conditions (San Gabriel, 2010). The International Co-operative Alliance mentioned that Cooperative is an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural...

The company has its head office in the Tour Total in the La Défense district in Courbevoie, near Paris. The company was founded after World War I after the French Prime Minister Raymond Poincaré rejected the idea of forming a partnership with Royal Dutch Shell in favour of creating an entirely French oil company. At Poincaré's behest, Col. Ernest Mercier enlisted the support of ninety banks and companies to found Total on 28 March 1924, as the Compagnie française des pétroles (CFP), literally the "French Petroleum Company". Petroleum was seen as vital in the case of a new war with Germany. However, the company was from the start a private sector company (it was listed on the Paris Stock Exchange for the first time in 1929). CFP took up the 23.75% share of Deutsche Bank in the Turkish Petroleum Company (renamed the Iraq...
