...Critical Thinking Mary Peeraer MGT 350 July 24 2012 Professor Duplessis Critical Thinking According to Paul and Elder (2001) critical thinking is the ‘mode’ of thinking, on any subject, content, or problem where the thinker improves the quality of their thinking by skillfully taking charge of the structure inherent to thinking and imposing ‘standards’ upon them. Critical thinking is the basis of ‘universal intellectual’ that transforms subject matter into divisions; accuracy, clarity, relevance, sound evidence, depth, consistency, fairness, and good reasoning and has three elements; evaluative, analytical, and creative components. A critical thinker routinely examine, assess, and improve themselves a method uses intellectual standards, integrity that will create a well- reasoned answer because of the demanding process. Create the understanding that thinking does not always need to be accepted at face values. Problems occur when someone persist of people whom, without knowing lack intellectuals will often portraits displays of an undisciplined mind. This creates unconscious belief of what is more comfortable to believe, puts us into the ‘best’ light’, or serves selfish needs, thus, inability to function as rational person. According to William G. Summer (1906) depicted strong sense critical thinker cannot be rushed, are slow to believe, hold things as possible, or probable within every degrees, without...

...Building Organizational Trust Kirsimarja Blomqvist Telecom Business Research Center, Lappeenranta University of Technology and Sonera Research, P.O.BOX 20, 53851 LAPPEENRANTA, FINLAND e-mail: Kirsimarja.Blomqvist@lut.fi, mobile +358-40-755 1693 Pirjo Ståhle, Competence, Knowledge and Technology Management, Sonera Ltd, PL 116, 00051 SONERA, FINLAND e-mail: pirjo.stahle@sonera.com ABSTRACT In this paper we study the role of trust in enhancing asymmetric partnership formation. First we briefly review the role of trust. Then we analyze the state-of-the-art of the theoretical and empirical literature on trust creation and antecedents for experienced trustworthiness. As a result of the literature review and our knowledge of the context in praxis, we create a model on organizational trust building where the interplay of inter-organizational and inter-personal trust is scrutinized. Potential challenges for our model are first the asymmetry of organizations and actors and secondly the volatility of the business. The opportunity window for partnering firms may be very short i.e. there is not much time for natural development of trust based on incremental investments and social or character similarity, but so called “fast” or “swift” trust is needed. As a managerial contribution we suggest some practices and processes, which could be used for organizational trust building. These are developed from the viewpoint of large organization boundary-spanners (partner/vendor managers) developing...

...Evolution of Tool in Relation to Thinking Capability Zehua (Echo) Wang University of Lethbridge MGT 5120 & MGT 5125 Instructor: Dr. John M. Usher Dec. 12, 2011 People interact with external material world by making use of resources and producing specific products or effect. In this procedure, thinking plays a crucial role in guiding the exact behavior, and tools are the objective medium people make use of. “Tool use” is a signal which distinguishes humanity from animal species. The capability of making and using tool facilitates human’s thinking ability. The more diverse tools are used the more open thinking become. Evolution of tools describes how people’s thinking is changed by tool use, and how thinking becomes increasingly complex and systematic. Tool evolved from tangible tools, for example hammer, rope, bottle, to intangible tools, like academic theories, thinking techniques, and etc. Between these two extreme pole, there are some medium segments exist, such as Internet and other kind of technology. Tools improve productivity, they help people to expand in spaces and gain creativity, but some specific tools might constrain people’s thinking, and become an obstacle which rejects progress of thinking. Purpose of writing this paper is to illustrate how tool produce and too use facilitate people’s thinking, and this process will starts from material-based thinking, and then go into abstract thinking. Considering the historical fact of tool...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY The auditing standard and guidelines of 1980 (U.K) defines internal control “as the whole system of controls, financial and otherwise, established by the management in order to carry on the business of the enterprise in an orderly and efficient manner, ensure adherence to management policies, safeguard and assets and secure as far as possible the completeness and accuracy of the records”. This working definition is all embracing enough to serve as a guide throughout this chapter. The system of internal control extends beyond financial matters of an organization, in that human resource control, production control, work study and scheduling, operations research, quality control, total quality management, audit committee, corporate governance and all security arrangements among others are integral part of the system of control. Even a recent development in accountancy profession called ‘forensic accounting’ could be traced to have emanated from the system of internal control in an effort to produce accounting information “suitable for use in a court of law”. Invariably, forensic accounting is increasingly playing more pro-active risk reduction roles by designing and performing extended procedures as part of audit, control measures and fraud deterrence. Therefore, internal control system is concerned with the controls operating in every area of an establishment as well as with the way in which Individual control interact...

...Professor Stinson Mgt 525: Arauco Case Study (This case analysis was completed by Lily and Roger) 1. Background Arauco was formed through a merger between Industrias Arauco and Celulosa Constitución in 1979. After that, the company began its expansion like purchasing land and plantations and installing new technology, purchasing the company Alto Paraná in Argentina in 1996, purchasing its third mill in Chile in 2000, and building new plant which called Valdivia mill in late 2001 and the plant had opened in January 2004. With these expansions, Arauco had become one of the world’s premier forestry enterprises in terms of plantation areas and yields by 2004. The company had three main product segments which include pulp products like bleached and unbleached Kraft pulp; forestry products like pulpwood; and wood products like lumber and remanufactured wood products. In 2004, the company wanted to invest more to get more development. The company was facing alternatives: one was forward integration moving into paper manufacturing; the other one was horizontal expansion investing US $1 billion to construct a new state-of-the-art chemical pulp plant. 2. Situation According to the case, we can see that the competition in the pulp industry is strong. First, the competition of existing competitors in market pulp was strong. From the case we can get that most of the large companies were involved in backward integration to produce the pulp for their paper themselves. Most...

Integration process started late 2008 with the Sales Department being the first. The integration of the Sales Departments of both companies started with the OTC Department of which I am one of its team members. The OTC Department comprise of four (4) teams, namely the High Traffic Outlet (HTO), Independent Retail Outlet (IRO), General Practitioners’ OTC (GP OTC) and the Lower Trade (Chinese Druggist and Wholesalers). Just before the integration took place, the management of CCMD promoted most of their employees in terms of job grades and some with job titles as well. Adjustments were made to the salaries of their employees whereas at CCMP nothing was being done. As employees of CCMP and not being aware of what was happening at the CCMD, we just ‘let nature take its cause’. As integration began to take place, the sales staffs from both the companies were slot into the 4 different teams with each team having at least one member from the other company and vice-versa. Of the 4 teams, 3 of the team managers were from CCMD, the company in which CCMP acquired. Part of the integration process also involved a change in the rewarding system whereby the management decided to adopt to the commission...
