As companies face multiple of difficulties in order to keep successful in the marketplace, workforce give the company most valuable benefits.

...1. The concept and function of reward In the Management Psychology, reward is to give recognition and praise for the people excellent behavior and encourage them to maintain this behavior. The purpose of the award is to encourage the advanced, motivate the staff's enthusiasm, initiative and creativity, improve work capacity and service quality (Marc Bishop, 2005). The reward is a "stimulus" to social groups, allowing them to get strength. In the company, wages, bonuses, and public recognition are the details of the award. A smile of the boss in the critical moment, a look or a gesture is reward. Incentives can bring a lot of enhancement of life (Máire Kerrin, Nick Oliver, 2002). Therefore, let me take you to learn some of the knowledge of reward. 2.The principle of reward In order to enhance the role of rewards and incentives, we should pay attention to the following questions: (1) Combination of material rewards and spiritual rewards: Rewards, can not engage in "money talks", can not engage in "the spirit of is universal ", combination of material reward and spiritual rewards is the best.

This assignment will thus seek to explore through the use of models and theories brought forth by scholars; means by which people in organisations should be managed and ways by which those in managerial position could adopt in order to resolve issues in the work place efficiently. Also by using 2 main organisations (provided as case studies), the assignment further seek to bring to clarity certain similar practices shared and also expose certain contrasting means of operation between both organisation in term of: *Organisational design and structure & *Organisational Culture Brook (2003) in his findings has acknowledge the complexity that most organisations finds themselves in and rightly identifies that there are forces which not just influences an organisation but also frames it.

...this in my mind, I started working on a kind of a blueprint on my getting to that vision. Let me elaborate step by step. I – From the time I have come into existence in this physical dimension, my curiosity has been to understand why am I here? What did I come for? A long time was spent in understanding this existence. Did I come for just living and dying? Do I wake up everyday, have food, go to work, make money, make love, have kids, buy properties, become sick, and then die? Too depressive…this can’t be the reason for being here. There has to be something else. There has to be some purpose for which I have taken birth in this physical form. I now have realized that I would like to establish a co-operative mechanism, which would help people gain life skills that, would help them successful as leaders, husbands/wives, fathers/mothers, brothers/sisters etc. How do I achieve this? This leads to the next step. WE – Fortunately or unfortunately, we are dependent beings. Not just with other human beings but with everything around us. We need air to breather, the sun to give us life, water to drink, cows to give milk, animals to give us food. Every purpose in this world requires support from some other being. Take Picasso for example…yes he was the greatest painter in the world…but he still needs someone who made the brushes, the paint & the paper. Everyone’s journey in this world is a shared one whether you chose to accept it or not. If others were involved in this journey...
