...Open Systems approach One of the most basic and ground concepts to the perspectives is the open system approach as it draws significant attention to the boundary of the organization and its context. Developing a design that effectively manages the exchanges – of raw materials, people, products,etc. – across boundaries is, in an open systems perspective, considered to be key to survival and prosperity. In the current world orginisations are perceived as consumers of resources and exporters of resources known as inputs and outputs. It is essential for orginisations to outlast and succeed in such a changing world and to do so it is a necessity to adapt and control in these environments. It is required to control internal activities through this, and to efficiently dispose off outputs produced by the resources (inputs) especially in regards to the changing nature of the environment we must interpret and act on. Within open systems it is common that certain departments and top managers overlook that they are part of this certain system in a way referred to as a “bubble,” where managers and departments segregate themselves within a self-referential culture. For example if an orginisation is not responsive to environmental changes or has a weak attention to new product prospects they would suffer deeply. The significance of an open systems have recently been emphasized due to the technological boom such as the e- business and internet allowing newer entrants into the global...

...Evaluate and explain the limitations of a range of sources of information both primary and secondary, for small scale public services projects. The source's used in the collection of data for a research project or investigation are of vital importance.

Ethics will be considered throughout. The actual, origanal or physical materials used in the study of an object, person or particular event in time are known as sources. They are paramount to investigation and are commonly known as primary and secondary sources. A primary source is a physical object or first hand testimony created during the time under-study, an example could be a diary, a piece of writing or photograph. These sources are unique and one of a kind, and could be a copy of the original if they existed during the time of creation.

Background: Terrorism: “the United Nations General Assembly has condemned terrorist acts using the following political description of terrorism: "Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_terrorism Terrorism has become a global threat and is not just confined to the theatre of war, it is also not only targeted at nations involved in those conflicts like the United States (9/11) and Great Britain (the July 7 London Bombings) but also with any nation and organization that is seen as an ally of such nations.

...Should the UK remain in the EU? In the aftermath of the Second World War, Winston Churchill called for the creation of a "United States of Europe" to bind France and Germany together. In doing so, he made clear that Britain would be a supportive but independent partner of any such entity. He famously said: 'We are with Europe but not of it." In the end, Britain did join the European Economic Community but only in 1973, 15 years after the Treaty of Rome was signed. We joined the Social Chapter in 1997, eight years after it was adopted by other member states. And we never signed up to Economic and Monetary Union or the Schengen Agreement on common borders. However, it is not until now that the British public have been presented with the opportunity to have their say on the matter of our continued membership. Following the 2015 general election, the re-elected Prime Minister David Cameron reiterated a Conservative Party manifesto commitment to hold an 'in-out' referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union by the end of 2017 following renegotiations with EU leaders. This means that between now and the vote the public have to decide whether Europe benefits the country regarding immigration, trade, investment and the protection of Human Rights and peace. Firstly, with regards to the economic repercussions of leaving the EU, many supporters of the so called “Brexit” claim that Britain would have very little difficulty in negotiating some form of free trade agreement with...
