...change both from the perspective of an organization and on the individual level. Change Management Management’s first responsibility to change is to identify processes or behaviors that are not proficient. Particularly, management must come up with new ideas that are more effective within an organization. Once changes are known, it is important for management to estimate the impact it will have on their organization and individual employees on many levels including technology, employee behavior, and work processes. At this point, management should assess the employee’s reaction to an implemented change and try to understand the reaction to it. In many cases, change can be extremely beneficial but sometimes produces a tremendous amount of resistance. For example, what a manager does and how it is done can be categorized by Henri Fayol’s four functions of management to include: Planning, Organizing, Leadership, and Controlling. Through these functions management can be catalysts for change or by definition change agents. First, planning is a process that involves defining the organization’s objectives or goals, establishing an overall strategy for achieving those goals, and developing a comprehensive hierarchy of plans to integrate and coordinate activities (Robbins et al., 2000, p. 247). One of the reasons for planning is to reduce the impact of change. It does this by creating an environment that is accepting of change and predicting change. For the most part,...

...Roles And Functions Paper Individual Assignment: Roles and Functions Paper • Prepare a 300-700 word paper based on your readings for this week describing “your” definition of the role and application of management functions used by today’s health care managers. Consider the following: o What is the most important role or function for a health care manager? o What is the most significant aspect related to health care management that you want to gain by taking this class? • Use a minimum of two references to support your paper. Health care managers play a very critical role in the society and management functions acquire a very different color when applied to health care settings. I think that the most important role of function of a health care manager is planning. The function of planning plays a very important role by helping to anticipate the changes that are expected to take place in health care sector. For instance, if the number of diseases borne by mosquitoes is likely to increase, health care managers need to identify this expected change and incorporate the remedial measures in their planning. So, the planning function of management in health care setting is based on long term and as well as contingency based aspects. There are many ailments or epidemics that could suddenly spread and managers need to immediately plan on those lines. This could include planning related to hospital equipment, number of beds, medicines and so on. The planning needs to be translated into...

...Introduction Even though society tends to affect people’s decisions daily, Personal responsibility is a very valuable asset in life because it is the only thing that is individual based and allows you to develop positive self affirming traits to develop personal and professional growth and it can be shaped and taught and allows you to develop a clear process for making decisions. In this paper I will explain how to effectively incorporate this in daily decisions that affect your personal and professional lives. The Functions of Management There are several ways that management can be defined in your workplace and personal life. The functions of management have been broken down into four traditional fundamental phases that include planning, organizing, loading, and controlling. In the planning phase you tend to specify the goals to be achieved and decide in advance the appropriate actions to take to achieve those goals. In the organizing phase you take into account the human, financial, and other resources needed to reach your goals. The third phase is the leading and mobilizing of people to reach your goal. I believe this phase is the most important, because it is where you stimulate others to perform at their best. The final phase in the decision making process is called controlling. In this phase you monitor performance and if there are any needed changes you implement...

...21st Century Enlightenment Emily M Sheridan ABS417: Community Organizing & Development (COI1319B) Michellda Bradshaw 5/21/2013 The world is always changing around us whether we can see these changes or not. Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist who stated “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has”. In this paper I will discuss my thoughts on the video and how it supports Margaret Mead’s statement. I also will discuss social change, progressive organizing, and community organizing. I will then discuss some ways in which citizens can respond to social problems. Last I will consider the quote, “Activism is living out one’s values” and how it relates to how social changes align with people’s values. The video 21st Century Enlightenment discusses the process of people’s consciousness and our belief systems, what ones serve us and which ones our outdated, and our awareness of oneself. Understanding human behaviors with an evidence base such as how humans have bad long term decision making skills is an important aspect to the 21st century enlightenment. The video also discusses the importance for improvement in a worldwide need for more empathy towards others. The video also talks about many different dynamics that go into solving the problems today and also look ahead to sustainability for the whole world. I feel that by looking at our values, norms, and lifestyles...

Using the proposed framework of (Dammeijer, Schlundt, Chenault, Manni, & Anteunis, (2002), the relations among these variables were evaluated at the Developing level to exploit previously unexplored within perceptual skills. This approach emphasizes the unique expression of Nativism and Empiricism specific personality in a Perceptual Development stage in a single culture. Perceptual Developing is not just a one area of a person’s life its throughout their life from a child throughout adulthood, we have to stress the point of Development. “Perception refers to the process of taking in, organizing, and interpreting sensory information. Perception is multimodal, with multiple sensory inputs contributing to motor responses (Bertenthal 1996)”. An infant is revolving his head in reaction to the illustration and acoustic cues of the vision of a face and the reverberation of a voice exemplify this type of perception. Intersensory...

...Responsibility, Power and Empowerment Within a business, organizing is essential to keep day-to-day activities afloat and regular business function in motion. Therefore, it is essential for leadership to understand the power behind responsibility, power and empowerment. This paper will define and provide examples of responsibility, power and empowerment. These concepts, in relation to a supervisor’s role, create a variety of opportunities for planning and delegation. Defining Responsibility, Power and Empowerment The word responsibility creates numerous different reactions from positive to negative. Byars and Rue (2010) defines responsibility as “accountability for reaching objectives, using resources properly and adhering to organizational policy.” An example of a supervisor showing responsibility would be taking on a task to be accomplished by a certain period of time. The supervisor will then delegate responsibilities, oversee progress and ensure completion of said task. Power is a misconceived concept that is used for both good and bad. According to Dictionary.com LLC (2011), power is “the possession of control or command over others; authority; ascendancy” (Power, para. 4). Leaders within an organization are given power in order to complete necessary tasks. Leaders must learn to use this power to motivate others in order to allocate work in order to achieve the overall goal of the organization. An example of power for a leader within an organization would be making...

...Tiffin University UNIT 2 PAPER: CASE STUDY ANALYSIS The Salt Lake Organizing Committee: 2002 Olympics. Harvard Business Review. 9-604-092 Submitted for Course Number MGT 537 Course Title: Personnel Management in Sports Professor Bonnie Tiell By: Tamara Irwin Ashville, Ohio June 23, 2010 Case Facts: This case study deals with the many variables that surrounded the hosting of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah and the outside variables that threatened its operation. Not the least of these variables was the timing of the international event, just months after the 9/11 bombings in the U.S. The entire country was still trying to figure out how to operate safely and productively in the wake of the first direct attacks on our soil in centuries. Not only were U.S. citizens and businesses unsure of how to operate, foreigners were uncertain about traveling to the U.S. and businesses didn’t know how to operate with the new restrictions and guidelines immediately put into place after 9/11. The case study in the opening paragraphs on Page 1 describe how large the capital investments were in bringing the Olympics to this site and the only remaining way to generate revenues at this point in time were through ticket sales, which were suffering from the post 9/11 turmoil. (Bowen, 2006) This wasn’t the first symptom of trouble for the 2002 Olympics. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced in June of 1995 the selection of Salt Lake City...

...research performed in both fields relies on observation, to what extent can we trust observations utilizing sense perception? And what are the limitations of this trust in our human sense perception? Despite these several questions, the natural sciences serves a significantly more convincing field than human sciences, as more scientific research can be validated and accepted as truth. Furthermore, the human sciences relies almost solely off perception of past events, or behaviour, which can be contorted by bias, as well as several other limiting factors. One of the most intuitively appealing aspects of natural sciences is that they simply study our observable world. Much of the study of natural sciences revolves around observations of reactions, processes, and natural occurrences. However, the natural sciences are not limited by their dependence on observation and perception, but use it as a way of supporting their claims and theories....
