1 Introduction
Non-Governmental Organizations or NGOs have become influential actors of societal development and change on a national as well as international scale. Beginning as non-governmental consultants to the United Nations, the number of NGOs across the world has witnessed exponential growth since the 1980s. Although most people understand what an NGO is - the name itself makes it very clear that these are organizations that are not government run – there is little consensus on what may be described as key characteristics of an ...

Overview

Public agencies have until recently not been engaging in succession planning. Succession planning is the process by which an organization plans for and replaces outgoing managers, executives and selected chief employees. Such employees initially held vital positions affecting the success of the organization, and preparing for succession is critical to the success of an organization in its present and future plans. The process of succession planning includes carrying out preparations of how the organization will select and recruit successors, the most effective way to handle changes between executives and how to build upon its successors (Todnem & Macleod, 2009).

Restatement of Problem
The topic of consumer buying behavior has researched by a number of scholars, and each one of them has illustrated what are the possible factors that influence or guide consumer behavior. Therefore, when organizations plan their strategies to ‘guide’ consumers, they do so by studying these factors and using them to design and market their products or services. This involves the participation of all stakeholders in the planning and strategizing process. The stakeholders could include the design team, the production team, finance, marketing, purchase and stores to name a few, and it is the collective effort of ...

1.0 Introduction
Generally motivation is a psychological process that refers to issues that drive an individual into action. Motivation can also be defined as the process of triggering, sustaining and guiding behavior to a specific purpose. All human behavior is usually as a result of either an external (the environment) or internal (physiological) causal agent (commonly referred to as stimulus) (Stajkovic and Luthans 34). In a business environment, the terminology “motivation” is very complex because different employees are motivated differently and by wide range factors. While some employees are easily motivated by monetary means others are motivated by recognition of their efforts ...

Domestic Violence

“Domestic violence” can be defined as “the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and other systematic behavior [designed] to be part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another.” It is a contagion impacting people in every community regardless of social station in life, age, gender, racial background, nationality, or religious pursuit. This action is commonly followed by psychological abuse and extreme domineering dispositions against the other partner; however, this is only a fraction of the structured pattern designed to force and domination over the other.

Pitrik, 2013). On the other hand, in socio-cognitive teaching, teachers offer scenarios whereby the students enter into the kinds of social discourse situations and societies that they (students) would encounter outside the traditional classroom. For example, students connect to various contexts for social interaction through the internet. In these contexts, they (students) meet and interact with native English speakers (Strambi & Bouvet, 2003), which allow them (students) to learn the English culture, and therefore, learning the language becomes easier. Therefore, socio-cognitive teaching explains the role of social interaction in the creation of an environment to learn a language, learn about the ...

For decades, the encumbrance of evaluating the potential of organizational risks and exposures has been assumed insurance specialists both internal and external to the company. For instance, risk handling mechanisms particularly self-insurance and insurance have provided some degree of comfort to organizations that could be otherwise be incapable of withstanding financial impacts associated with disasters. Sadly, false confidence cases have led to multiple problems for small and big firms within the insurance industry. In order for companies to efficiently execute functions related to pre-incident risk assessment and find the at-need operational crisis directions, majority of firms have developed corporate ...

Abstract: A Bright Star Declined

Over the past 2 decades, IBM reach heights of unprecedented success, down to failure, and up to success again. In 1980, they were lagging in the personal computer business but by 1985, they had taken over 40 percent of the market share (Kanter 46). By 2005, IBM made its exit from the PC business and switched to consulting (Kanter 47-8). This is a drastic shift indeed for a company which provided virtually no consulting services in 1990 to becoming one of the largest services companies some 20 years later. IBM today is now an exemplar of how a company ...

Community policing

The police protect people and enforce laws. However, nowadays, in some communities, police officers do not consider protecting people to be the main task of their job. Instead, they abuse people, especially those with different skin color or religious views. Moreover, some of the police officers use their job to take bribes. In recent years, there have been several cases of such police officers’ misconduct. This thesis is aimed at examining whether community policing leads to less abuse police authority or not.

Introduction.

Everything we do has a limit. Limits are put to define the extent to which we can do certain things or even the extent to which we can move from a particular point. Boundaries are physical barriers which separate different areas. They are usually in the form of walls, roads, paths and so on. Therefore, maritime boundaries and limits are connected with the ownership of valuable resources and coastal state jurisdiction over foreign shipping. Inaccuracies and uncertainties over such sensitive issues are best avoided. There are numerous international disputes over limits and boundaries, some of which could endanger peace and security. ...

Introduction

As myriad of changes continue being experienced in the health sector, several challenges prevent effective implementation of healthcare services. These challenges include limitation in healthcare services, inefficient skills, unskilled personnel, poverty and huge gap between the number of skilled healthcare providers and number of patients seeking services. These problems further intensify in rural areas whereby the distance between patients and healthcare facilities prevent timely access to healthcare. This explains why several federal policies target problems facing the rural poor. Studies further show that more than 15 percent of healthcare beneficiaries reside in rural areas (Thrall, 2012). These patients depend ...

Abstract

In “The Death of the Author,” structuralist thinker Roland Barthes suggested the notion of the author as a distinct identity in the creation and interpretation of a text was a thing of the past. Instead, he preferred the use of the word “scriptor” to refer to the person writing or typing a work for the first time. The ideas in the scriptor's mind would have to travel through his or her semiotic filters to make it to the paper – those filters take the ideas and shape them – for ...

1. Introduction
Government agencies are in most cases mandated with essential service-delivery and thus are often non-profit in nature. Hence, they are riddled with a culture of inefficiencies and underperformance. This paper will evaluate organizational culture, particularly in government agencies, thus the term organization will strictly be used to refer to government agencies (the civil service and the public sector in general).
In this ever dynamic business environment, management strategies are formulated every once in a while. The broad purpose of the so-called strategies is to enhance performance at the organizational level. For this to be possible the work ...
