There are four specific types of communication flows that McPhee and Zaug (2000,2009) have described. The authors believe that the four communication flows are in fact, what organizations are all about. This is because organizations cater to four different kinds of audiences, so communicating with all of these is necessary. The first communication flow is the maintenance of relationships with members through membership related negotiations. The second communication flow is self structuring, i.e. how organizations act as formally controlled entities. The third communication flow is activity coordination. The last communication flow is institutional positioning. (McPhee & Zaug, 2000)

Corporate decision makers and governments have subscribed to the view that cashflow is a reliable indicator of a firm’s health.usually, cash flows are pragmatic yardsticks. One need not look into other sources of information, but in the level of cash coming in versus the amount of cash being spent, to determine the feasibility of a business.
However, Gentry says that cashflows, particularly operating cash flows are not as reliable as they seem to be. Taking off from a study done by Casey and Bartzack, it has been found that operating cashflows do not provide significant information on the ...

Aaron: I like that the thesis starts out broadly and becomes more specific you narrow your subject to not only terrorism but the effects it has on the economy. You need to expand on what you mean by “the ‘fragility’ of both European economies and the institutions underpinning the European Union”. So far the research is good and relevant to the topic of the paper. Nice subdivisions so that the reader does not get confused which helps considering the complexity of the topic. I like the utilization of interviews for they give the reader a chance to see what ...

Over the years, it has become normal for all types of engineers to use process simulation in performing different tasks. Among the tasks that engineers rely on simulation include calculating energy and mass balances in flow-sheets in predicting the performances of alternative processes that can save companies and governments millions of shillings. As such, engineers must define complex flow-sheets as well as process conditions before the simulation process formally begins. It should be noted that desktop computers currently allow sizing, optimization, dynamic calculations, and rating which previously tended to demand large mainframe computers to compute. Additionally, more experts were ...

Organizations serving the public should have a well-defined disaster management plan, which ensures potential disasters are identified and countered before they happen. Structuring the emergency services effectively ensures that the consequences of disasters are duly minimized, and people who would be planning to attack a given facility draws back.

It is, therefore, important that every stakeholder or employee in the hospital be taken ...

First, I understood that Antony Downs (1968) explains that bureaucracy is a pivotal element of the society in decision making. Instead of elected leaders making decisions, bureaucrats actually make the most decisions that affect the society. Antony Down (1968) also reasons that bureaucratic officials are, like all other sectors of the economy motivated by their own-self interest. In the end effective public administration policy, is a delicate balancing act that requires the understanding of people’s wishes as well as the needs of the citizens.
Second, I also became aware that it is important to be understood that there is ...

Article Review: The Causes of Cerebral Desaturation in
The study by Brinkman, Amadeo, Funk, and Grocott (2013) investigated cerebral desaturation, which frequently occurs in one-lung ventilation procedures for thoracic surgery and is possibly caused by lower cardiac output. The aim of the study was to explore the correlation between decreases in cerebral oxygen saturation that occurs in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation and decreased cardiac output. Although cerebral oxygen saturation was lowered in all of the participants, the researchers did not have statistically significant data that could be used to establish a correlation between cerebral desaturation and cardiac output, so ...
