...Chapter One: Introduction to Organizational Behavior Chapter Synopsis This chapter launches the students' study of organizational behavior by providing an overview of management history and the OB field, and by identifying forces that promise to reshape the nature of management. It exposes the how, what, why, and when of organizational behavior, as viewed and practiced by managers. It also identifies the skills and competencies that leaders will need to create the ideal 21st century work atmosphere, such as intelligence, passion, a strong work ethic, a team orientation, and a genuine concern for people. Learning Objectives After completing this chapter, students should be able to: 1. Define in applied terms organizational behavior. 2. Describe the disciplines that have contributed to the field of organizational behavior. 3. Discuss the importance of understanding behavior in organizations. 4. Explain the time dimension model of measuring effectiveness. 5. Explain the relationship between quality and organizational effectiveness. Key Terms power of human resources—The ability to get things done in the way one wants them to be done. globalism—The interdependency of transportation, distribution, communication, and economic networks across international borders. cultural diversity—The vast array of differences created by cultural phenomena such as history, economic conditions, personality characteristics,...

By Ryan Boland While the donation of appreciated securities—stocks, bonds and mutual funds—is common, relatively few individuals donate real estate to charity. Under specific circumstances, however, such a donation can be mutually advantageous to both the giver (the owner of the real estate) and the recipient (the charitable organization). At a most basic level, those circumstances are: (1) when the property in question has significant long-term appreciation, such that the owner would incur a sizable capital gains tax upon selling it, and (2) when the property is relatively easy for the charitable organization to liquidate, with minimal chance for incurring liability or major carrying costs prior to the sale. These conditions are most frequently met by individuals seeking to donate a long-held primary or secondary home. The donation of commercial or industrial real estate...

...The Assignment BUS 520 Meaning of action: semantic vs pragmatic. The importance of language : How we speak about action; what are the specific circumstances between actors. Language creates new meanings. New linguistic meanings create new possibilities and social realities. And language and action inform each other. Example: the statement “Jump from the window!” can mean many things. The statement can be “reinterpreted in many ways” and “different kinds of actions” are compatible/triggered by that statement, other than the literal interpretation and action that reflects the literal meaning. Semantics views action as propositional sentences. Seen as statements that someone makes to someone about something; they refer to events in the world (mere descriptions of things). Theory of action: from what? To Why? To who? (the agent). Focusing too much on What? and Why? and losing track of Who? (The who? Is ultimately needed for understand action from an ethical perspective.) We need to understand action related to an agent (not just a logical agent but a self). Attribution (of predicates) to a logical subject is not the same as: Ascription to a self where the agent can self-designate himself in the action he performed (or better yet, that he has not yet performed). Imputation (of moral value to an action) is an improvement over attribution but it is not enough. We must distinguish between event vs. action, knowing how vs. knowing that. Action can...

...Appendix B: Instructor’s Manual Assignments (with Solutions) using the Movie Data Accompanying Article Available at http://www.amstat.org/publications/jse/v17n1/mclaren.html Note to Instructors: Our students, like many introductory business statistics students, have access to SPSS and Minitab so in most cases these exercises provide specific instructions for these two packages. We have also included instructions for Excel 2007. While we are cognizant of the issues with using Excel for statistical analyses, we also realize its simplicity for basic functions such as graphing, and we use it in our classes along with Minitab and SPSS because we feel that business students should be proficient in its use. We used SPSS version 15, Minitab version 15, and Excel 2007 to write the following instructions. If your students will be using other versions of these softwares or if you prefer that your students use different statistical software, you will need to edit the instructions accordingly before distributing to your students. Exercise 1: Data Retrieval and Graphing Learning Objectives: 1. Locate and retrieve data from a web site. 2. Place retrieved data into Excel and format appropriately. (This step is recommended because the format from the website is not easily imported directly into SPSS and Minitab). 3. Create and format a time series plot in SPSS, Minitab, Excel or other software. Instructions for the students: For this exercise you will use movie box office...

Weisenberger 1 Center for Applied Energy Research, University of Kentucky, 2540 Research Park Drive, Lexington, KY 40511-8410 USA Received 7 October 2003; accepted 29 October 2003 Abstract The state of research into carbon nanotube/polymer–matrix composites for mechanical reinforcement is critically reviewed with emphasis on recent advances in CNT composite toughness. Particular interest is also given to interfacial bonding of carbon nano-tubes to polymer matrices as it applies to stress transfer from the matrix to the CNT. Potential topics of oncoming focus are highlighted. 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction Since the documented discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in 1991 by Iijima [1] and the realization of their unique physical properties, including mechanical, ther-mal, and electrical, many investigators have endeavored to fabricate advanced CNT composite materials that exhibit one or more of these properties [2,*3,*4]. For example, as conductive filler in polymers, CNTs are quite effective compared to traditional carbon black micro-particles, primarily due to their large aspect ratios [5]. The electrical percolation threshold was recently re-ported at 0.0025 wt.% CNTs and conductivity at 2 S/m at 1.0 wt.% CNTs in epoxy matrices [6]. Similarly, CNTs possess one of the highest thermal conductivities known [*7]...

...Student Self-administered case study Organization structure changes at Body Shop 45-60 Case duration (Min): Organizational Behaviour (OB) Organization structure and design Worldwide Case summary: There are many work tasks to be done in a large organization and consequently the work must be divided up and allocated. In this case we consider what is meant by organization structure and design; consider why it is necessary to structure human resources, discuss how we should set about this enormous challenge and ask how we can make efficient and effective use of human resources in order to attain goals and derive a sustainable competitive advantage. In particular we consider issues associated with bureaucracy and hierarchy. Body Shop grew and with it came particular design challenges. Learning objectives: Define and discuss the nature of organization design. Outline the main structural choices available to organizations. Explain the limitations of the organizational chart in describing activity within an organization. Case problem: What is organizational structure and why do large organizations need continually to consider the designs of their organization? What may be the consequences of a good or bad design for a specific organization?

...1 Digitization: Image: Image representation: visual perception: The distinction between Human eye and photo camera 成像 imagation formation: Photo camera: * Lens has fixed local lenth. * Adjust the focal length by varying the distance between the lens and the imaging plane. Human eye: * Distance between the lens and retina is fixed. * Focal length for proper focus obatained by varing the shape of the lense. Question: All the center squares hv exactly the same intensity. However, they appear to the eye to become progressively darker as the background becomes lighter. Why? Other example? Answer: The human visual system tends to undershoot or overshoot around the boundary of regions of different intensities. e.g. Although the intensity of the stripes is constant, we actually perceive a brightness pattern that is strongly scalloped, especially near the boundaries. Therefore, perceived intensity is different from the actually intensity. e.g: a piece of paper that seems to be white when lying on a desk, but can appear totally black when used to shield the eyes while looking directly at a bright sky. 2 Matrix and Pixel: ● Matrix is the result of sampling quantization and , which is a matrix of real numbers. ● Each element of the matrix array is called an image element, picture element, pixel, or pel.

...(Ryan, 2013) When being constantly exposed to these messages it is important to know what information you are being fed. Some shows are more complex than others, and consist of mixed messages when looking at them from a feminist standpoint. One example of this would be The Mindy Project, a sitcom that first aired in 2012, and has since gained an average of $2.34 million viewers per episode, (IMDb, 2012) The Mindy Project is packed full of messages that can be depicted from a feminist standpoint, but are often blurred behind the hilarity it is known for. To give a brief synopsis of the show, Mindy Lahiri, played by Mindy Kaling, also the director of the show is the main character and also the narrator. The show is about her life as a young OB/GYN, navigating through her professional life and romantic relationships with the help of her friends and coworkers. Gender roles are what it is to be male or female, males being masculine and females being feminine. Some common words that are used to describe femininity are: dependent, emotional passive, sensitive, quiet, graceful, innocent, weak, flirtatious, nurturing,...

...1 LESSON NO. 1 ORGANISATION BEHAVIOUR INTRODUCTION Org. Behaviour (in short called as OB) is concerned with the study of the behaviour and interaction of people in restricted or organised settings. It involves understanding people and predicting their behaviour, and knowledge of the means by which their behaviour is influenced and shaped. Organisations are bodies or entities created for a stated purpose They may consist of one or more people. In the case of a sole trader or single operator, he needs to build relationships with suppliers, contractors, customers, clients, and the community. For those that consist of more than one person, internal as well as external relationships have to be created and maintained. Organisations therefore consist of individuals, groups, and relationships. Objectives, structures, systems and processes are then created to give direction and order to activities and interactions. OB is thus of great concern to anyone who organises, creates, orders, directs, manages, or supervises the activities of others. It is also of concern to those who build relationships between individuals, groups of people, different parts of organisation between different organisation, for all these activities are founded on human interactions. OB is therefore concerned with:1. The purposes for which organisations are created 2. The behaviour of individuals, and an understanding of the pressures and influences that cause them to act and react in particular ways. 3. The qualities...
