...identify their leadership style, management style, and their personal style. All of these styles will help show a person’s individual effectiveness. How a person thinks and their behavior will contribute to a person’s performance at work. There are people that can have a effect on a person that they will change their behavior and their thinking which in turn can effect a person’s effectiveness. Before a person decides to make changes they need to make sure that their behavior is being supportive or if it is not being supportive. There has been analysis that has been done in the past to assess the properties of the Life Style Inventory. Within the Life Style Inventory there are twelve subscales that are considered to be internally consistent. Item total correlations that are generated need to be acceptable of any estimates that are convergent and discriminant of validity. The correlations that are among the Life Style will indicate construct validity. Among the analysis it showed that among the twelve Life Styles there were broader orientations instead of the original that were stated. There was a mapping done of the factor loadings for the twelve Life Styles and it shows that it does not produce any perfect circumflex that will constitute a linear simplex. After I finished the Life Style exercise and getting my results, I see that with my results I will be able to analyze my behavior for both my job and my own personal life.

These strengths and weaknesses will tie in to a personal SWOT analysis which will combine to highlight the rationale behind the Personal Development Objectives outlined towards the end of the assignment. Telford states that ‘It’s hard to imagine that our self improvement efforts will be successful without considering what is this “self” we want to improve’ Telford (2005) p9. And it is this concept which is sometimes difficult for us to embrace. The notion of looking closely at oneself and carrying out a critical analysis can at times be quite uncomfortable but as demonstrated above it is necessary in order to embark upon the process of self improvement.

...investigation, analysis, design, implementation and review and maintenance. Failure to complete each phase in detail may result in an unsuccessful development plan. The Fitness Center has five locations with approximately 650 members and 30 employees at each location. The purpose of a new information system is to provide its members the capability to monitor their exercise activity. This includes the type of exercise, the length of time and the loss or gain of weight and inches. By monitoring such activity, will provide information to both the member and the personal trainer to build an exercise program which best fits the member’s personal needs. A new system will also help the company obtain a competitive advantage over the other fitness clubs throughout the city. A new database will tack all member information, such as name, address, date-of-birth, date of enrollment and if the member is current on their member fees. As well as the member, management will also be able to report on the member’s activity. The reports will indicate which type of equipment is being used, what classes are being participated in and total weekly expenses. Results may indicate management needs to add equipment or discontinue classes, which will in return increase profit or reduce cost. There will be several levels of participants involved in the new system project. The team will consist of the company’s owner, club managers, assistant managers, IS personnel, personal trainers and club...

...agreement. Froogle has filed a suit against Mary in the Superior Court for the county of Monterey, in Salinas California. ISSUE: Does the Superior Court of Salinas California have personal jurisdiction over Mary an out of state defendant who advertises on a California based search engine? RULE: In Pavlovich v. Superior Court, 29 Cal. 4th 262 (2002), the defendant contended that the court did not have jurisdiction over him solely on the posting of a source code on his website. The court found that having a website, like placing a product into the stream of commerce may be felt nationwide worldwide even, but without more it is not an act of purposefully directed toward the forum state. California courts may exercise personal jurisdiction on any basis consistent with the Constitutions of California and the United States. ( Code Civ. Proc., § 410.10.)In making this determination, courts have identified two ways to establish personal jurisdiction. “Personal jurisdiction may be either general [269] or specific. A court may exercise specific jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant only if: (1) “the defendant has purposefully availed himself or herself of forum benefits” (2) “the ‘controversy is related to or “arises out of” [the] defendant's contacts with the forum’ ” and (3) “ ‘the assertion of personal jurisdiction would comport with “fair play and substantial justice” ' ".

In addition, since ICA tends to integrate quantitative and qualitative analysis more than other courses, you will have the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills you've gained across the curriculum (e.g., from finance, ISOM, Marketing, O&M, and Strategy). Building Competitive Advantage The broad focus of the course is on building competitive advantage with special emphasis on how firms can gain access to new resources or capabilities that may grant a competitive edge. We explore strategic investments that are required to compete effectively in uncertain and turbulent environments. Managers often throw up their hands and argue that planning isn’t useful when the landscape is shifting rapidly. However, with the right set of tools, strategic management can have an even greater impact in this setting. We place special emphasis on competitive advantages that stem from valuable and hard-toimitate resources or capabilities. Accordingly, we will focus much of our energy on the question of how to build, acquire or ally to gain...
