...BUS2019 – Understanding Work & Organisations Word Count - 1840 words Name - Jinit Dedhia Student Number -120252266 Different aspects of the concept of ‘rationality’ and how these are identified in different management theories Rationality in today’s world has become a significant facet of management in organizations. Rationality as a whole can be defined as the ability of being consistent with or based on logic (Rona-Tas, 2007). A more appropriate definition for rationality in management for this essay is, described by Simon (1972) as a style of behaviour that is appropriate to the achievement of given goals, within the limits imposed by given conditions and constraints. The principal meaning of rationality is a condition of consistency among choices made from different sets of alternatives. In his view, rationality is defined by the existence of a preference relation which is complete and transitive (Arrow, 1996) .The essay is concerned with giving a brief overview of rationality and it will also discuss the different aspects on the concept of rationality identified in different management theories. Types of Rationality Rational behaviour is behaviour in accordance with reason, behaviour that in some sense serves the actor’s interests. Most writers seem to accept that rationality is an essential premise for any science of economics. In so far as economics is a science of human action, there seems to be little one can say of action...

...Ang Klima Ang daigdig ang tanging planeta sa solar system na kayang makapagpanatili ng buhay. Ang malaking bahagi ng ating planeta ay may kaaya-ayang atmospera at sapat na sinag ng araw, init at tubig upang matustusan ang pangangailangan ng mga halaman at hayop sa balat ng lupa. Mahalaga ang papel ng klima, ang kalagayan o kondisyon ng atmospera sa isang rehiyon o lugar sa matagal na panahon. Pangunahing salik sa pagkakaiba-iba ng mga klima sa daigdig ang natatanggap na sinag ng araw ng isang lugar depende sa latitude at gayon din sa panahon, distansiya mula sa karagatan, at taas mula sa sea level. Ang mga lugar na malapit sa equator ang nakararanas ng pinakasapat na sinag ng araw at ulan na nararanasan sa buong daigdig. Dahil dito, maraming habitat o likas na tahanang nagtataglay ng iba’t ibang species ng halaman at hayop ang matatagpuan sa mga lugar na ito. Kabilang sa mga ito ay ang mga rainforest, coral reef, at mangrove swamp. Kapag bihira naman ang pag-ulan at napakainit ng panahon sa isang pook, tulad ng disyerto, kakaunti ang maaaring mabuhay na mga halaman at hayop dito. Ganito rin ang maaaring asahan sa mga lugar na lubhang nap Paksa: Heograpiyang Pantao Saklaw ng heograpiyang pantao (human geography) ang pag-aaral ng wika, relihiyon, lahi, at pangkat-etniko sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng daigdig.

...mmmmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmmm 2 February 2016 Decision Made by Terminally Ill Patients What if you think that your time is up, why not end it without suffering? Why allow your siblings loved ones, and others sit around and watch you die slowly? People who are terminally ill should decide if they want to live in pain or die. There are a lot of arguments about the family wanting their love ones to live instead of die, which is selfish. The family should also understand. If a person is terminally ill and not able to take the pain anymore, then they should end their lives upon their choice. Terminally ill patients should be able to decide not to suffer, make their own decisions and die with dignity. For one it is selfish to have an ill person suffering waiting on their death day. It should only be their choice if they decide to suffer or not. If you have never suffered before, then you wouldn’t know how bad the pain really is. No matter whom they are, regardless if it’s the mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, or any other close member of the family, have to understand it’s our lives. Pain is pain there is no big or small, pain is exactly what it is. “Legalize Assisted Suicide: A debate.”(1) Discuss killing someone to suffer. It discusses the fear of the losing capacity to make the choice to die. Those are some of the reason terminally ill patients should not have to suffer. Secondly, under no circumstances a terminally ill person should decide how he/she would like to end...

...In, Out, and Far, Far Away Micah Ortiz DeVry University BUSN258 Instructor: George Kaye December 11, 2012 In, Out, and Far, Far Away For this Case Study, I chose two companies with which I am very familiar: In-N-Out Burger, and Saberforge.com. The industry of the two companies is quite different if not polar opposites, and through my own personal experiences and research, I found the aspect of customer relations between them to be just as different. To put it into perspective from the point of view of a Star Wars fan; if the customer service from Saber Forge was like the planet Alderaan, then In-N-Out would be like the Death Star: completely blowing them away. I very recently had a long-term issue finally resolved with this company, so I will start with the bad. Saberforge.com is a website that a Star Wars fan, like me, can order custom lightsaber hilts for use with costumes and role-play, aka cos-play. The website has many selections to choose from, all made from aircraft grade aluminum, and constructed by the proprietor of the site. The site user has various options for adding sound, removable polycarbonate blade tubes for dueling, color for the light emitter, and other accessory options. Here is a brief summary of my experience with their terrible customer service: After placing an order, I waited for nearly a year just to have my money refunded because it never shipped; all while receiving almost no feedback at all from several attempts to contact them about my...

...CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES This chapter presents a review of literature and studies both local and foreign which are relevant to the present study. Local Studies Foreign Studies According to Waldbridge, "Responsible gaming is an attitude we need if we are engage into Computer Game. Developing this attitude is not a personal choice alone, it requires the participation of society (parents, school, and game developer and government)." As a computer game user, player and fan, it has led me to study the effects of playing computer games such as DOTA, KHAN, and other highly innovative and competitively graphical games. The purpose of the study was to establish an understanding of to what extent is the effect of playing online games, network games and other types to the studies of the students in the university where I graduated. While it was difficult to set a parameter of classifying games according to types and quality since I and my friend believed that the characteristics of the games have something to do with the addiction of students to playing, we thought that it would be safe to just assume games as if have the same characteristics even though these games are under of different types and of the different level of complex graphical presentation, level of real-time experiences, the plot of story it is trying to project and a lot more qualities. Thus, if we quantify the effects then assumption holds that each game that we have studied has a...

...Introducción La desenfrenada euforia y presión que cargan sobre un adolescente que cursa 2do y 3er año del Ciclo Técnico en la Escuela Industrial Superior pero que busca inconscientemente otra cosa, otra cosa que más bien es instintiva, como un impulso primario natural, y que además tiene aspiraciones artísticas como teatro, dibujo y literatura, pero que siente la mirada constante e insistente de su propia responsabilidad y ambición que lo obligan a exigirse todo lo que sabe que puede lograr para no defraudarse a sí mismo, todo esto sumado a una ideología que se basa en el delirio voluntario y la descarga de tensiones por medio de la expresión sin el más mínimo sentido y sin miedo al qué dirán, criticando a la juventud masiva y sin criterio propio del cual se está plagando el mundo; todos estos factores influenciaron al autor a enchufarse en su computadora y a escribir lo que primero le viniese a la mente, lo que se cruzase de forma más torcida, lo que lo hiciese reír a él mismo, esto era lo que seleccionaba para su texto. Lo que se empezó a formar era un montón de “delirancias”, que mágicamente empezaron a tomar forma, trama y hasta un profundo dramatismo. Una vez estructurado ya no había más que hacerle, ya había cobrado vida propia, solo restaba seguir escribiendo hasta que simplemente decida terminarse. El absurdo no es ni ficción ni realismo fantástico, es el arte de saber volar más allá de la imaginación (ya que esa es zona de la ficción), hay que despegar con mucha...

...Chapter 1 I Get What I Pay For Welcome to Red Grove. Population 200 “Now, two hundred and one,” I murmured as I passed the painted wooden sign in my trusty red Jeep. Small towns like Red Grove always made me think of horror movies as if a gap-toothed, overall-wearing butcher might hobble out of his deep woods shanty, pitchfork in hand, at any moment. The town had an off the charts creepy factor. On my right, a dark forest worthy of the Brothers Grimm. On my left, a cemetery edged in a weathered wrought iron fence. I think there were more than two hundred headstones. More dead than living. Nice. There must be some mistake. I came here to start over. Could a new life be hiding behind the unappealing rural exterior? My promised house remained a mystery. I double-checked the notebook with my father’s scrawled directions resting on the passenger’s seat next to me. Technically, I’d lived in Red Grove as a child, but we’d moved before I turned two. I didn’t remember the town at all or the residents, living or dead. I shifted my attention back to my driving. “Holy shit!” I proclaimed as I overcorrected the wheel, and my foot drifted from the gas. The man on the side of the road was so attractive I could’ve died—literally. He was planting something. A tree, I think. Every time his shovel hit the dirt, a ripple coursed through his shoulders and down his stomach. I raised an eyebrow at the glint of sun on tanned, shirtless skin. Dark hair, low slung jeans. I tried not to...
