...discussion will be based on Citibank’s performance review process, James McGaran’s feedback for last year’s appraisal & approach to give that feedback, and my recommendations of changes in processes and procedures that I am recommending. James McGaran has been employed by Citibank for the last eleven years and started as an Assistant Branch Manager and was promoted quickly through the ranks to Branch Manager. He has delivered exceptional results during his time as Branch Manager of one of the most important branches in the Los Angeles area. In 1995 a decision was made to update the performance evaluation to drive not only financial results but also drive strategy implementation, customer satisfaction, controls needed in banking, and leading people. Based on what is presented as the current Citibank performance review template in the Harvard Business School article changes should be made to reflect a more rounded feedback loop. Performance Review Session with James McGaran James is going to receive an overall Par rating for his performance review based on the criteria set out in the Citibank review procedure. The procedure lays out that if you have any area in the review that is below par the highest overall score can be only Par. (Harvard, 1999) Approach to the feedback session with James The approach to give James feedback on his performance for 1996 would be to follow the performance review form. And go over the criterion that was used to...

As a large global operation, having adequate systems in place to support the organization network and databases is of upmost importance. A critique which addresses the benefits and disadvantages of using UNIX or Linux versus Microsoft Windows Server within Riordan Manufacturing will be completed by Team A. Areas to be addressed within the critique will cover security, administration, networking, performance, programmability, and reliability as it relates to UNIX or Linux and Microsoft Windows Server. Riordan Manufacturing currently has a combination of Unix and Windows servers which support the organization, however, the team will recommend that the organization standardize it’s systems to support one platform across the agency. Through this recommendation Riordan’s Manufacturing infrastructure will have one platform Security Review The histories of both Windows and UNIX security development have taken diametric paths. The Windows operating system (OS) is monolithic by design, which means that most of the features are integrated into a single unit and is located into the core of the OS. UNIX, on the other hand is based on the core of the operating systems residing in a distributed manner where...

Identification of the problems of the existing hostel management leads to the development of computerized solution that will be compatible to the existing hostel management with the solution which is more users friendly and more GUI oriented. We can improve the efficiency of the hostel management, thus overcome the drawbacks of the existing management Visual Basic6.0 is used as the front end tool and Oracle is used as a backend tool.

...The goals of a literature review are to provide the reader with a critical analysis of scientific literature about a specific topic or question. Writing a summary about other works can demonstrate the depth of familiarity of a chosen topic. In order to further one's understanding, or research, studying the works of others is important because multiple disciplines may have competing explanations for a given subject. Literature review is also structured in a particular style that creates a uniform way for writers to articulate their ideas in a fashion the reader is familiar with. Craig Anderson uses the APA guidelines to create a clear structure for his review studying the effects of heat and violence. The structure of a literature review typically follows a certain format and order. In Anderson's, review Heat and Violence, he starts this process with a title that describes what the article is about. Following the title of the paper is an abstract, or overview, of what the entire article is about. Because there are a number of...

...Riverside Casino and Golf Resort / Stacy Benson Topic Title Performance Reviews NO. This title won’t work. What about performance reviews? If you were doing a simple research paper you could write about performance reviews based on research alone. In this Sr Paper you must determine the state of the art based on your Literature Review. Then you will give the background of the problem and discuss it. This must all lead to two Courses of Action (COAs; solutions) that are tied to your title and problem. You need a “product” such as a process, a plan, a strategy, a program – something that can be recommended and implemented. Problem Statement (if not finalized post a draft – focus on the "pain.") The problem is that after initial training employees are not being reviewed for current performance. Suggest that after this initial statement you add something more about the problem. Brief Topic Overview The casino is experiencing a high turnover rate of employees because after their initial training they are put on the floor without any further review. In the handbook employees are supposed to have a review after 90 days but they are not being implemented. This leaves the casino with under qualified employees that eventually terminate their employment due to not feeling able to meet the high demands. The solution to this problem, if it is the problem, is simple. Just IMPLEMENT PERFORMANCE REVIEWS. You can see...

...Peer Evaluation for MKT 420 Your Name: KYRIA AHO Fill in the blanks for each team member (but not yourself) as if you were writing an evaluation or recommendation for that person. ONLY ONE TEAM MEMBER MAY BE RECOMMENDED FOR PROMOTION. Consider if you were assigned to another team, which team member you would want to be your boss. Consider who you’d like to work with again. Consider who you’d go to extremes to avoid working with if you had a say. Here is the format for peer evaluations. Include the team member’s full name (1), and be specific about (2) what the team member did or did not do. At the end, if you were employed with this person, (3) would you recommend (a) Promoting, (b) Retaining (Keep in position), (c) Retaining with counseling to improve performance or (d) firing/replacing. Please keep in mind that in most business situations, only one person in a group would likely be promoted. Thus a recommendation to promote would be reserved for the truly exceptional team member Team Member 1: LEXA CREAMER As a team member with Lexa Creamer on the team marketing plan project, I feel qualified to speak about his/her job performance. Lexa’s contribution to the project was timely and significant. She accepts correction easily and is always willing to assist in any way that she can.

...Butterfly leaked just 24 hours before its official release date, March 15, and that most major music websites published their reviews of the album within three days of the leak. On such an immediate deadline for filing a feature-length album review, it’s nearly impossible for a young critic to stunt. At Jezebel, Clover Hope just wrote the truth. With bits of personal and political context interspersed, Hope framed her review as a first-take impression of the “overwhelming blackness” of an album about funk and self-destruction. “This initial feeling is suffocating,” Hope wrote. “It’s the essence of Dis Tew Much.” I think most fans and critics would agree that Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly is, indeed, overwhelming. I reviewed To Pimp a Butterfly in about 72 hours. In that narrow band of time, I "got" the album's messages and themes but couldn’t grasp the motivations for the album’s sound. Why, in. You’ll recall that To Pimp a Butterfly leaked just 24 hours before its official release date, March 15, and that most major music websites published their reviews of the album within three days of the leak.
