It’s hard to talk about management innovation without tipping your hat to W.L. Gore, the venerable maker of Gore-Tex and a host of other pioneering materials and products as diverse as synthetic vascular grafts, Elixir guitar strings, and Glide dental floss. Lauded as "the world's most innovative company" time and time again, Gore's wholly original (and endlessly inspirational) model for creating a true democracy of innovation is firmly rooted in the story of founder Bill Gore. More than half a century

values, and drive how they performed on the job (Chertis & Mujtaba, 2014). Theory X was an outdated, pessimistic view and viewed all workers in a negative way. Theory Y, on the other hand, was a more modern, positive assumption. McGregor believed that a manager could accomplish more through others by viewing them as self-energized, committed, responsible and creative beings (Kreitner & Kinicki, p. 9). McGregor’s Theory Y plays a role in the way that John Mackey, co-founder and co-CEO of Whole

ON THE ELECTRODYNAMICS OF MOVING BODIES By A. EINSTEIN June 30, 1905 It is known that Maxwell’s electrodynamics—as usually understood at the present time—when applied to moving bodies, leads to asymmetries which do not appear to be inherent in the phenomena. Take, for example, the reciprocal electrodynamic action of a magnet and a conductor. The observable phenomenon here depends only on the relative motion of the conductor and the magnet, whereas the customary view draws a sharp distinction between

Macroeconomic Theory: Econ 2220 1 Math For Econ 2220 B 1 1.1 Shifts of a Curve vs. Movement along a Curve Parameter and variable y = f (x, a) (1) Suppose y is a function of x, and where a is a parameter, which represents the impact of other exogenous variables. Given a certain value of a, we can plot the function y = f (x, a) as a curve in a two-dimension graph. A change in x implies a movement along the curve, while a change in a means a shift of the curve. 1.2 An example

Enterprise, are known as Theory X and Theory Y. According to McGregor, some managers subscribe to Theory X. The main assumptions of Theory X managers are that employees are lazy, do not enjoy working, and will avoid expending energy on work whenever possible. For a manager, this theory suggests employees need to be forced to work through any number of control mechanisms ranging from threats to actual punishments. Because of the assumptions they make about human nature, Theory X managers end up establishing

Management Concept Douglas McGregor (Theory X & Y) William Ouchi (Theory Z) Motivation Tends to categorize people as one type or another: either being unwilling or unmotivated to work, or being self motivated towards work. Threats and disciplinary action are thought to be used more effectively in this situation, although monetary rewards can also be a prime motivator to make Theory X workers produce more. Believes that people are innately self motivated to not only do their work, but also are
