...QUESTION 1: Based on the above case study and relevant theories, contradict between what employers want in employees (agreeable employees) and what employees actually do best (disagreeable employees)? According to the question, let we discuss the contradiction of agreeable employees and disagreeable employees. Fisrt, let us go through the definition of contradiction so we will deeply understand the whole picture of what will be discuss in this question. Contradiction is define as; to assert or express the opposite of (a statement), to deny the statement of, or to be contrary to; be inconsistent with.[1] Based on the above case study, I noted a confusion of an employer in choosing the right behaviour in hiring the new employee. Firstly, I would like to go through to agreeable employees. The agreeable employees is likely describe as employees who can easily discuss with, telorant, and can accept ideas without further argue. It is a norm for employer wanting agreeable employee. This is because, it is easier for them to make the final decision. It is also easier to negotiate with the agreeable employee for they will not questionning every single decision made by the employer. The communication process also can run smoother than working with disagreeble employees. For employer that have disagreeable employees, they actually taking the risk of building the conflict in decision making if they can’t find the understanding point between each team member. Disagreeable...

...beings. The only reason why some of the members of the tribe are being a danger to the modern people is that they feel threaten. It’s saddening that slowly the tribes are disappearing and that some people just forget about them like they never existed. Well honestly, they are not the only ones that will be gone but the beautiful surroundings that they are also trying to preserve. Like the forest in Brazil, it is the Surui Indian tribe who are protecting this from the illegal loggers. Their lives are being threatened and they have no one protecting them from it except with their beliefs. It’s really a relief that they have Almir Suri who is part of their tribe and is really trying to fight for the tribe’s survival. Even though he had study in a nice university outside their place, he hasn’t forgotten where he came from and is still ready to help them grow more. Also, I think Almir is trying to show the world that he can also put up with the abilities of the modern people, that even though he started from being a member of a tribe whose life is just simple yet civilized, he knows what the overall people...

...Natural Cereals Case Questions Question 1: After strongly reviewing this situation over and over again, I have realized how difficult and important this decision really is to our company. I believe my co-workers Sally Thompson and Joe Bradley have done an exceptional job so far, and have definitely pointed our marketing department in the right direction. After our company implemented Sally’s proposal, our market share increased three points, which she definitely deserves credit for. However, her proposal has led to some active criticism from the public which has left our group manager Tom Miller displeased because of how valuable this proposal is to our Natural Cereals division. Sally’s proposal included a limited health message to the high fiber content in our bran cereals. She indicated in a very cautious way that food high in fiber has been associated with studies to lower rates of some forms of cancer; however, she did not go about saying that our bran cereals had more bran than other competing bran cereals. She also went about featuring our new “Re-sealable Pack,” which allows the inside bag to be resealed for freshness, and included a 35 cent coupon toward the next purchase of a product of Natural Cereal. Although she believed her proposal avoided deception to our consumers, one key criticism we have received for Sally’s efforts is that we jumped on the company bandwagon that makes often misleading or incomplete health claims. Tom believes we cannot afford...

...Book Review: Nice Guys Can Get the Corner Office What is this book about? In the book Nice Guy Can Get the Corner Office, the author challenged the adage “Nice guys finish last.” He believed that a guy can be nice and successful at business at the same time. The subtitle would tell us better about what’s in this book: "Eight Strategies for Winning in Business without Being a Jerk." The author defines “nice” as a constructive and consciously chosen approach to relationships that is founded on: * Attempting to optimize outcomes for both others and ourselves * Striving to balance assertiveness with cooperation to achieve a spirit of collaboration * Honoring the value and strength of others and ourselves * Seeking optimal outcomes for everyone involved by emphasizing truthfulness and authenticity * Opening confronting challenges and disagreements and embracing the innovation-promoting benefits of constructive idea conflict The author also defines “success in business” as need are fulfilled—individual’s need as well as the needs of others. The authors surveyed more than 350 nice guys and found out that most of them are “too nice”. And these overly nice guys are always struggling between “eager to please others” (being too nice) and “fulfill their own needs (being successful in business).” This book gives eight strategies to help those overly nice guys balance being nice and being a jerk when achieving success. These eight strategies consists of eight rights...

...What Every MBA Student in the World Needs to Know Sandeep Krishnamurthy http://faculty.washington.edu/sandeep 1 Management ≠ analysis. What you are learning in school is analysis. You are being taught tools and techniques. Analysis is just one of the ingredients in the recipe. You may have the best analysis in the room. However, if your analysis is not heard and taken seriously, it is of no value. Too often, talented people with the best answers sit in the back of the room while hacks run the show. If you enjoy the view from the back, getting an MBA will not change anything. A MBA degree only works if you are willing to transform yourself. Are you? 2 Einstein would have been a terrible manager. There is a huge misconception among students that being smart is the way to be successful. Let me break this to you. It is not about being smart. There are many smart people who are absolutely incompetent managers. Not to mention the fact that many smart people are first-rate jerks. Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying you have to be dumb to succeed. What I am saying is that you do not have to be a Mensan to make it to the top. All you need is average intelligence. But, you need other qualities. 3 Bill Clinton would have been an excellent manager. The man had his faults. But, he could communicate like few others. Bad managers are, frequently, terrible communicators. They have good ideas. They simply don’t know how to get them across. You cannot lead, motivate or sell if you cannot...

...American Scavengers Antonio Felix English 102 Section #27058 May 11, 2015 “This empire, unlike any other in the history of the world, has been built primarily through economic manipulation, through cheating, through fraud, through seducing people into our way of life, through the economic hit men. I was very much a part of that” John Perkins. In the past decade the government has been pushing for a welfare reform time and time again. This reform is disliked by many politician, complaining that federal law is overly prescriptive and are willing to take less federal money in return for more flexibility. The public thinks that the current reform is anti-work and anti-family and is keeping the public under poverty line. However welfare programs are set in place by the government in order to ensure a certain quality and standard of living for everyone in the country. These programs are mainly focused on children, making sure that their parents are able to feed and clothe them properly. The truth is that in today’s society The Welfare system creates more problems than it solves, creating a sense of welfare dependency, a feature of advanced industrial societies with developed welfare states, whose citizens enjoy specific “social” rights (e.g., to social security, health care, social support, and education). Bill Clinton said: “I used to get up in the morning and watch my mother get ready to go to work. And we had a lot of trouble in my home when I was a kid, and she still...

...desirable neighbors. It is a fact that all of us have our own difficulties and nothing is more meaningful than a hand given to us in time of need. For instance, when you are busy organizing a get-together with all members in your family but the fact that you have forgotten to purchase one of the most important ingredients threatens to ruin your main dish. However, you can easily have the neighbors to travel to the market and buy it for you. That’s an accurate picture of a helpful neighbor who you should be grateful to. Furthermore, a kind neighbor from my point of view would have the quality of sympathy. Having someone to care about you and share their feelings with you is necessary when you are experiencing a tough time in life . For example, a nice neighbor to a widow who has just lost her husband in a terrible accident must help her to overcome with grief. There may be cases where there are children whose their parents got dirvoced. In such cases, a good neighbor is required to treat them equally to other kids instead of gossiping anything about them. In addition to helpfulness and sympathy, a neighbor who possess a sense of integrity would be perfect. I can endure the fact that there are some two-faced people who always steal my properties such as water, electricity supply and even illegaly use my wireless internet connection. To sum up, my portrait of an obliging neighbor must be a caring, sympathetic and trustworthy...

...Review the theories put forward in the literature that attempt to explain why there was a mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period. You should aim to outline the main theories, the claims they make, briefly explain any supporting evidence, and compare and contrast the rival theories. Reasons for the Cretaceous mass extinction have been hotly debated for more than 200 years, since the founding days of geology. Cretaceous mass extinction is referred to the mass extinction that happened in the period of Cretaceous (just after Jurassic), more than 100 million years ago. Many creatures, especially dinosaurs, disappeared in the end of Cretaceous. K-T layer which marks the boundary between the Cretaceous and the Tertiary becomes the key point for the solutions. Till now, four main theories which are gradualism, supernova, volcanism and cosmic impact, have been put forward to solve the scientific problem. And, the last three models belong to catastrophism in favor of sudden extinctions, opposite to gradualism. However, this essay will attempt to argue that cosmic impact should be the most reasonable explanation due to evidence that have been found up to now. In order to demonstrate it, this essay will analyze these different theories separately paragraph by paragraph, along with corresponding findings. In addition, it will compare rival theories. In the ‘gradualistic’ view (theory of gradualism), the Earth was a slowly evolving word and the turnover of living species...

...BUSINESS STUDIES A group of investors had formed Trap-Ease America after it had obtained worldwide rights to market the innovative mouse traps. The group had hired Martha to serve as president and to develop and manage the Trap-Ease America organization. Martha had initially forecasted Trap-Ease’s first year sales at five million units. Martha knew that the investor group believed that Trap-Ease America had a ’once in a life time chance’ with its innovative mousetrap. To evaluate this opportunity Martha must collect information from different angles. She must choose a best target market for the Trap-Ease. 1. As Martha and Trap-Ease America feel that they face once in a life time opportunity after obtaining worldwide rights to market the mousetrap. Martha had forecasted Trap-Ease’s first year sales at five million units. As she sensed that group’s impatient with the progress of company so far. So she budgeted approximately $250,000 in administrative cost and fixed costs for the first year, but this did not include marketing cost. To evaluate this opportunity Martha must evaluate write market for mouse traps. Market can be divided into different groups of buyers with different needs; buyers desire different benefits from one product. Consumers needs and wants change with their age. As Martha wondered, apart from trapping mouse using mouse traps consumers may also buy the trap as novelties. Company needed to sell enough traps to cover the administrative and fixed costs. For...

Need to identify the need of consumers that this product would meet in contrast to other offerings that did not meet the perceved need. "Why this particular conformation of a mousetrap?" They needed to know that the product was the answer to a cry coming from the marketplace. Trap-Ease mission statement. Trap-ease America believes it has developed a product that fulfills a great need in the mousetrap product arena. We have worked hard to develop a trap that eliminates the need to be "involved" with the trapped subject. The company's aim is to provide a seamless experience in pest control. Our product is made to insure an "out of sight, out of mind" experience for the user. The user is not invested in the caught object as it is with more conventional traps. We believe that our product is great for the individual who wants pest control without seeing the pest. My mission statement: Pests are a fact of life. The fact is , pests invade the dwellings of people more than we like to think. The distaste of the presence of pests in a dwelling is unacceptable. Trap-Ease has made as its goal, the production and sales of pest-control devices that meet the need of sense-disengaging pest control devices. This is the main goal of our enterprise. ...

...Danny Jimenez Dr. B. Jones ENC1102 20 April 2010 Freedom for Freeways Many of us have little or no time, especially dealing with work, school, gym and many other errands at the same time. Sometimes time is just not enough and we have to rush ourselves in order to make it to our commitments on time and to make things worse, traffic and speed limits get in our way. In moments like these a speed limit becomes more of an annoying suggestion rather that an enforced rule. Not necessarily by increasing or removing speed limits freeways would become dangerous, but also is not a matter of just take away these limits. Society should be better educated and trained in order to create a safer and more efficient road environment giving chance to reach longer distances in a shorter amount of time and why not, put our powerful line of super-vehicles to the test. In America, the average Maximum Speed Limit ranges between 55-75 mph. as a community, it’s necessary to create safety parameters in order to maintain a controlled environment and reduce the risk of fatalities, injuries and/or property damage since it’s believed that speed is one of the greatest killers out in the roads, it gives less reaction time and also in a vehicle traveling at a high speed, any defect or anomaly on the surface tend to be a high risk of loss of control of the vehicle. Also environmental issues have been part of the opposition and there has been an ongoing debate between environmentalists and fuel consumption...

...What I Learned at Driving School Driving school was quite the experience for me. To say the least, it was extremely interesting. I learned so much from this course, which I did not even know I could learn so much about driving in four hours! Throughout my paper, I will talk about the main topics that I learned and what I expect to make me a better driver. The Alabama Graduated Drivers License Law was one of the main things I learned during this course. This law is very important today and became affected on October 1, 2002. A Fifteen year old with a valid learner’s license are to be accomplished by a parent or legal guardian of the age of twenty-one with a valid divers license. This law states that six-teen year olds must not operate a vehicle between midnight and six a.m. unless certain procedures. At this age, you must also not have more than four passengers in your car (three friends, driver, parent—MAX!) This law is extremely important. If residents do not follow this law, it can cause danger to other drivers. Traffic laws are something EVERYONE needs to follow. While attending driving school, the main reason why people were attending was for speeding. Including myself, driving school has taught me the dangers of speeding. Speeding is not always the cause of crashes, but it is a main event in this situation. Alabama’s basic speed law provides that you must never drive a vehicle at a speed that is faster than the reasonable speed. Weather, roadwork, and your car conditions...
