These stages are the feasibility study, the analysis phase, the design phase, the programming stage, installation and maintenance stage (Sadagopan, 1997).

The feasibility study is always done to have a view of the ...

Insider action research faces several challenges associated with the political dynamics of the researcher being a member of the system/community/organization he is researching. The political dynamics, if not well managed, have the potential to undermine the research endeavors and impede the planned change (Coghlan, 2007). The main challenge is the challenge of the validity of the data because the inside researcher is suspected to be biased, emotionally attached to the system/organization under study and thus what constitutes valid data is intensely contested and politicized. Other challenges include gaining access to data, using data, publishing and disseminating the results. In addition, ...

Are Leadership and Management Different?

There are a certain key differences between leaders and managers, even though both the concepts must go hand in hand. In a book published in 1989, “On Becoming a Leader”, Warren Bennis highlighted following differences. In his opinion, managers administer, but leaders innovate. Because of this the managers just maintain, whereas the leaders develop. This is what makes a manager a copy, whereas the developmental efforts make a leader original. Further, the manager focuses on the structure and system, whereas leader focuses on people. This is further exemplified by manager’s focus on control, and leader’s emphasis on generating trust. In other words, manager ...

Given that state governments prefer their sovereignty from the national government when it comes to state affiliated issues such as education ...

Status offenses entail conduct that is not a crime when it is committed by an adult, but it is a violation of the law if a minor commits them. Some of the examples of status offenses include skipping school, consumption of alcohol, running ways, violating curfew, as well as being beyond parents’ control. If the status offenses were determined according to social rather than the legal definition, there could be a lot of statistical changes in delinquency. It is worth nothing that the delinquency statistics will reduce due to the social view of some of the status offenses.

Filters might not work in Internet explorer because it is not possible to mix images and gradient on one image. There are versions of internet explorer which do not support multiple backgrounds in a native manner. It is required that the mixture be done individually.

In an organization, senior leadership may resist a strategic development. This resistance may be based on several justifications. The first is that this leadership may note that a strategic change may constraint their organization in financial terms (Morrill, 2013). Therefore, instead of threatening the solvency of their organization, such leadership may decide to abandon a strategy. Reasons may include heavy expenditure on equipment acquisition and high staff training costs, for instance.

The other reason is that the senior leadership may find a strategic change as unsustainable. Given the need for complementing resources and additional dedication, substance of a strategic change may prove difficult ...

The Gross Domestic Product has been used as an index of economic progress since the dawn of the nineteenth century. The use of GDP as an index of economic growth and development was inspired by the works of Simon Kuznets who stressed the importance of this measure of the total economic production in a nation in a year as an index to compare the economic improvement a country makes over time as well as for a cross-country comparison. But Kuznets himself later on expressed his view on the inability of GDP to take into account a number of important aspects of growth.

Two pivotal approaches to cognitive development that challenged Piaget’s widely-known theory are Vygotsky’s sociocultural approach and the information-processing perspective. In spite of the distinction between psychogenesis and epistemogenesis, Lev Vygotsky’s and Jean Piaget’s views manage to complete each other and reach a similar conclusion—knowledge is formed within a certain social context and has a specific material (Tryphon, 1996).

Piaget proposes that, during the development of human thinking, we go through stable, predictably structured sequences of stages. The consistency and stability of these stages are undoubtedly questioned by today’s standards in psychological research (Baron 1995). For ...

Operating at multiple levels, their targets typically include national governments, multinational corporations, international agencies and regulatory forums. (Pellow 92) The birth of transnational social movements has its theoretical underpinnings in the sociological ‘conflict perspective’ that causally links the development disparities (the so-called North-South divide) within ...

There are three grand theories providing theoretical framework for studying human development: psychoanalytic theory, behaviorism and cognitive theory.

The fundamental concepts of the psychoanalytic theory are the underlying forces (inner drives, mental and emotional processes, motives) shaping the personality, behavior, thinking, attitude, decision making, etc. Central to this theory, introduced by Sigmund Freud, is a point of view that a individual in his or her development passes through specific psychosexual stages: oral, anal, phallic, latent and genital. Ericson, who also contributed to the psychoanalytic theory, offered different classification of development stages. Each stage has its unique needs, motivation drivers, challenges and relationships. According to Freud, people act from three major states of the ...
