Abstract

Teamwork concept can be interpreted from various disciplines such as sociology, industrial relations, psychology, philosophy, theology, economics, politics, health sciences and the wide range of paradigms can be quite extensive. Each has a different criterion for defining what it is and the boundaries within which it functions.

Introduction

The notion of "nothing" is one of the most important and controversial concepts in the history of humankind. Its etymology is quite interesting for the consideration, as it can discover many different mysteries associated with the most important knowledge. In addition, the perception of this idea may be absolutely controversial, if one talks about it in the framework of religion and philosophy of the Western and the Eastern worlds. Nothing is everything, and at the same time, it is a lack of everything. This notion has a negative connotation; it denies everything to what it is opposed; moreover, it ...

Introduction

Business is an activity that cannot be operated in isolation. With the passage of time, the usual notion of business has changed a lot. The modern day notion of business is that they exist to create certain stuff in the wake of earning a profit and hence, for the creation of this stuff, organizations are needed. The existence of organizations have given birth to a very important concept in business studies named, organizational management, defined as an art of making a group of people work towards the achievement of predefined common goals (Alvesson & Willmott, 2003).
Businesses cannot operate without management, as management ...

Introduction
The Church of Scientology did not begin as a religion but as a mental health therapeutic theory called Dianetics, which the accompanying book, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, came off the press in 9 May 1950, from a science fiction author named Lafayette Ronald Hubbard (1911-1986), or L. Ron Hubbard (DeChant and Jorgensen 304). The Hubbard Association of Scientologists was established in 1952 (305). It was a new religious movement, with its tax-free claim over revenues, which the American society came to view as a religious cult (Blythe 2). However, as far as the ...

Introduction

Many companies engage in corporate social responsibility engaging in charitable acts. There has been focused attention on this topic. Milton Friedman suggested that corporate social responsibility applies only to the shareholders of the company. Other parties should not be considered. The managers should only concentrate on maximising shareholder’s wealth and ensure the firm constantly makes profits. This concept goes against the widely held view that a company should practice social responsibility to several stakeholders such as the customers, employees, suppliers and the local communities. The concept proposed by Milton is known as the Shareholder Concept of social responsibility while ...

Elements of customer-driven marketing strategy

It is important to focus on the customers’ needs in a bid to get an edge over the competition in competitive business environments. A marketing strategy should be driven towards reaching the highest beneficiaries from the product or service offered. A customer-driven marketing strategy should include five major elements (Tunisini, Annalisa, and Roberta 308). The first element is targeting a specific segment or market. This should include the use of marketing research to define common demographic features within the targeted customer base, like gender, age, and income level. This helps to minimize the resources wasted while trying to reach ...

Every living entity most certainly has to die at some point or the other and yet there is very little we know about death, our soul, and what will happen to it after we die. The spiritual writings of almost every religion teach the followers about to how to prepare for death.

Abstract

This paper will summarize the book, “Who Killed Change? Solving The Mystery of Leading People Through Change. Although the author tells the story within a fictitious context, the primary concept focuses on change management. The author wants to teach supervisors or managers how to effectively deal with change throughout their employees and overall organization. In addition, these factors of change could either bring an organization down, or if the manager handles change effectively, then the company could be bigger and better than ever. We will also carefully critique and synthesize the content of this story by determining how the ...

Philosophy

Introduction
Early modern philosophers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries thought that the semantic content of our thoughts is a function of the contents of our ideas. They assumed that knowledge of the world requires a kind of thought, namely ‘justified true belief’ (Wang, 2012). In this regard, they broadly disagreed over what cognitive faculty or source provided our ideas with the type of content that generated justified true beliefs. A dominant concern during this period of intellectual enquiry was hence involved in locating the faculty which is the source of contents of ideas that led to justified true ...

A dentist is a medical professional trained in the field of dentistry. He is a medical practitioner that is also referred to as a dental surgeon.

In the mid-1990s, some theorists examined the phenomenon of field and its technique. This concept expresses fullness and constant presence of natural forces and events in architecture; it appears in contrast to the old displaced concept of space. The concept of field describes an expanded space and its effects. It does not contain definite values and does not focus on a material structure; it reflects the main functions, vectors, and velocity. Theorists believe that the emergence of the field concept, its state, and field conditions is a sure sign that there exists a renewed interest in ultimately understood context ...

Third Grade Students

For teaching third grade students, I would use games in order to introduce the concept of renewable energy.
Teaching the concept of renewable energy to most people could be a hard task especially when individuals have little knowledge about its importance.

They also have the idea about the concept of converting energy into many forms. For example, energy from the sun or solar energy could be converted into stored energy using photosynthesis. The ...

A Discussion

Self Concept in Psychology: A Discussion
Just as a person has opinion about those around them, they also have perceptions about their own self. This opinion about one’s self is generally known as self-concept. Self-concept is not a predefined view and, as with most perceptions, develops overtime as a result of external influences. It includes an organized, dynamic and complex network of acquired beliefs, opinions and attitudes towards an individual personal existence. Cosden, Brown and Elliot describe self-concept as ‘domain specific self-perceptions’, while self-esteem is differentiated as ‘one’s overall sense of self-worth’ . Self-concept is often also identified as self-identity, ...

The demand for creativity and innovation at the workplace is common for managers and business executives.

Sociology comes with a broad array of ideas and theories that describe every-day things like identity, social integration and others. Some of these concepts include the concept of the home and identity/belonging. “Home” is where a person has an attachment and builds social and political identity. On the other hand, “Belonging” is about a sense of identity and connection to a particular community. The concept of home has been split along the lines of local and global perspectives in the 21st Century. This is because in a generation of individualism, technology and globalisation, it is easier than ever to ...

Alienation

The concept of alienation is a one of the central constructs of Marxian theory. This concept was used for description of a capitalist mode of production when workers lost control over the means of production. In accordance with Knox & Pinch (2010) it is described as “a mechanism of social change” and relates another concept of deviant behavior in wider sociopolitical connotation (p.215).

With the notion of Nation-States, nobility devised certain rules that could be respected by all others in order to avoid conflicts between them. These rules were mostly based on the principle that the princes were sovereign in their land. Their power was uncontested, exclusive and supreme within the borders of their territories, granting them authority over their subjects, the right to give laws, impart justice and even decide what religion should be followed. There was a time however when that concept was not known and rulers and kings asserted their power through terror and wits. Arming gangs or paying mercenaries ...

Introduction
The work of Charles Baudelaire had a significant contribution on the concept of modernism particularly in his essay “The Painter of Modern Life”. Baudelaire’s influence on modernism was constructed from his criticism of art and urban space where he seeks for inherent beauty within the bustling landscape and transitional urban spaces. Before the publication of his work, Paris, France is undergoing a major industrialization phase, which served as a theatre for Baudelaire to redefine the context of modernism conveyed in his controversial verse (Tuman, 2010). The discussion explores the conception of urban modernism including the ways in ...

The concept of error deals with the uncertainties made in measurements, which are hard to correct. Error, therefore, does not mean blunder. Error is divided into two categories, which include random and systematic errors. Accuracy, on the other hand, is the rate at which information matches the accepted or true values. As stated earlier, error is either random or systematic. Systematic errors are those that “tend to shift all measurements in a systematic way, so their mean value is displaced” (Error Analysis, n.d). These errors occur when there are wrong calibrations on the equipment of use or the failure ...
