Michael Porter tries to explain the real business meaning of the term strategy in his article. He explains several things known to many to be connected with the success and failure of businesses. The article majorly concentrates on the distinguishing factors between operational effectiveness and managerial strategic acting and thinking. With these two aspects, he shows what strategy means. Strategy is the creation of exclusive and valued position, involving a diverse set of activities, which means if there existed only a single ideal position, strategy would be nonexistent.

Dutch (2013) used the contingency model of strategic human resource management to construct a new framework of human resources, strategy and culture in an organization.

Globalization comes into mind when barter of goods and services take place. In any trading or business-related scenario, separate parties must always ensure fairness when exchanging respective assets and goods. There are two economic theories analyzing the scenario of trading goods and resources, and these two theories are known as comparative advantage and absolute advantage. Comparative advantage focuses on enhancing the quality of produced goods, while absolute advantage determines the capabilities of a company to produce at a highly quantified rate. Choosing a theoretical economic approach may vary depending on the priorities and necessities of concerned parties. However, it is important to ...

Gene Editing Techniques

1. Gene Editing – General Background
Gene editing entails inserting, deleting and replace the DNA in a genome of an organism utilizing engineered nucleases. Sections of the natural gene are replaced and completed using a synthetic DNA chain. Also, the natural repair process gets rid of the mismatches and gaps in the DNA. On the other hand, gene disruption is a technique by which the DNA fragment is utilized to replace a genome sequence with a chosen marker gene like the kanavanine resistance. DNA –binding proteins are proteins that consist of DNA-binding domains and hence have affinity for single and ...

Although both studies are informative, the qualitative information provided by Saint et al. (2010) appears to be more difficult to understand than the quantitative information provided by Daud-Gallotti et al. (2012), most likely because of the differences in the nature of the data. Because qualitative information contains descriptive personal opinions from the participants, I find it difficult to use it for determining clinical practices based on that information. For example, it is mentioned that successful leaders were inspirational, but that does not provide the reader with sufficient guidelines to become inspirational.
Quantitative information appears to be more objective, ...

Even in nonfiction prose, authors find many different ways to tell us about themselves.

In today’s rapidly changing and expanding business environment it is important for organizations to be competitive. Globalization of markets combined with rapidly evolving technology are forcing businesses to seek new methods to remain competitive and survive (“Managing Organization Change”).

Recent studies are pointing to organizational health as the new factor behind motivating employees to be more productive and aligning companies with their objectives (Schawbel, 2012). According to Schawbel, “The seminal difference ...

Unpopularity in the 1970s

Strategic planning became unpopular in the 1970s and the 1980s because it essentially failed. Companies listened to management consultants plot strategy based on a formula. They failed to really analyze what is on the ground so their strategic recommendations did not work. These companies were beaten at the game by other companies who were more agile than those weighted down by strategies. Strategic planning transformed them into lumbering behemoths that could not adapt to the changing times. In the end, they had to reengineer themselves in order to be competitive again.

His second opinion is: contracts say that lawful it is to obtain a thing that costs more than the thing’s price.

In this article, the authors posited that a market-oriented organizational culture should focus on innovation and not on learning. They asserted that organizations that had a higher capacity for creating innovations were more capable of achieving high levels of performance and of gaining a competitive edge. To prove this, they conducted a survey research by distributing questionnaires in the 56 organizations of a large government agency where 9, 648 employees participated. The results of the study were statistically analyzed and they showed that a ...

The impacts of an enterprise’s dividend policy on share prices wield considerable significance to the investors, economists, and corporate officials. The economists try to appraise and understand the operations of the capital markets, the corporate officials institute the guidelines, while the investors plan the portfolios.

Is there a standard series of ratios or payouts that can maximize the share prices? The three questions have been the focus of various studies, but the ...

In his article, Ibbotson (2010) investigates the impact of a long-term asset allocation policy on portfolio performance against that of active management with respect to security selection and market timing. The paper draws its inferences from reviewing existing literature on empirical studies examining the same.

In contrast, the critics of the BHB model (e.g. Ibbotson ...
