Organizational Design

Contrary to typical assumptions that will associate the concept of organization design with that of structuring organizational charts and the likes, organization design has a more comprehensive and practical designation than it really sounds. There is a holistic way of looking at organization design –it is the modeling and alignment of all the involved elements of an organization with the intention of achieving an agreed upon objective. Organizational design is a forthright organizational process with a pertinence so outspoken, that it should literally be addressed in every status meeting of every department on that organization. Organization design is carried ...

On the other hand, this discussion will determine the adequacy of the evaluation by looking into the methodology and the areas ...

Where is the boundary between actual declarative knowledge (factual content) and educative experiential learning (reflection and critical thinking skills)? How do you fit those two together in one teaching/learning experience? The boundary between factual content and educative experiential learning is at the point where the instructor creates questions to the students, rather than dictate answers. While factual content informs learners to pick the lesson in its absolute form, an experiential teaching method elicits the need for more research and a thirst for removing the layers that raise more information about the subject. PowerPoint presentations and notes from the ...

Questions

Question 1 Linear Programming is a problem-solving tool that applies mathematical models that are linear in planning activities for certain decisions. It is applicable in almost all forms of organization in both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. It is also applicable to government entities and institutions. It widely applied where limited resources have to be allocated among various activities that need resources simultaneously.

Question 2

The graphical method can only be used in solving linear programming models with only two decision variables. This is because a simple graph has only one dimension. A one dimension graph has only two axes: x and ...

Fluxus art movement or simply Fluxus, started as a loosely defined group of artists, musicians and poets who had nothing more in common than a vision of life integrated in art, and art as the living of a life. More than 50 artists were associated with the art movement, creating music and anti-music, art that was not adherent to ‘museum defined standards’ and poems that were not traditional. This movement caused social and economic change in the society in the 1960’s (when it was first started) and had effects whose fruits we reap even today. This movement can ...

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech by restricting legislations that curtail this freedom. U.S. Supreme Court decisions reinforce respect for the freedom of speech against legislations by the federal and state governments. However, some forms of communication are exempt from First Amendment guarantees. Obscenity is one such exemption. In Roth v. the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court cited a series of cases dating back to 1877 to demonstrate the Court’s consistent regard of obscenity as an expression that is not protected by the First Amendment right to free speech.

Abstract

In this paper, we will discuss and describe the application of mathematics in architecture. Starting from the explanation of the meaning of architecture, we will consider the relationship between architecture and mathematics since ancient times. One of the most significant contribution of mathematics in architecture is strengthening the building constructions. This property can be traced in many ancient structures (for example, the Parthenon, the Colosseum, Stonehenge). The evolution of the types of construction design was tightly related to mathematics. In our research, we will discuss various designs, such as pyramidal, post-and-lintel and carcass construction systems. Special attention will be ...

An earthquake is any seismic event that causes seismic waves. These can be caused by human activity or natural causes. For example, fracking often causes earthquakes which are human caused. Earthquakes often shake or displace the ground or surface of the earth near the epicenter and if the displaced earth is under the ocean, it will usually cause a tsunami. Most earthquakes are caused by geological faults but they can also be caused by landslides, mine blasting, and volcanic activity. Earthquakes are measured by overserving seismometers that are set up across the globe in strategic places for ...

Philosophy

Language is the main form of communication between people. Effective transmission of information would be impracticable without it. Such a "talent" appeared from immemorial time and allows groups of people to communicate, exchange news, ideas and feelings. However, before the onset of globalization, this communication was limited to the level of individual nations and peoples. Contact with other people is difficult without the common means of communication, which will certainly lead to isolation. This problem is partially solved with the help of translators. It is necessary to choose a single international language - lingua franca, since neither the worldwide ...

Literature Review

ABSTRACT Communication privacy management model compacts with the degree of exposure of people's personal information and their confidentiality during communications. It concentrates on people relationship management which separates the public information from confidential information about themselves. Communication Privacy Management is a practical model that suggests an appreciation of the way people reach judgments and how often to disclose and when to mask confidential data. The argument assumes that privacy together with the disclosure are entangled in a dialectical pull, and therefore, decisions individuals make are on the complementary level of every individual. Through the use of a metaphorical margin, ...

Traditional responses of corporate strategy, hierarchical structures and control systems are among the major factors that inhibit the flexibility of a company, its ability to take up new opportunities and thrive in the ever changing external relationships. Mainly, these factors are caused by organizational similarity. Organizations need to be legitimate. Most of their behavioral and structural aspects are targeted towards environmental acceptance rather than internal organization similarity. Hence, most organizations tend to be similar, adopting traditional business practices. The success of companies is mainly determined by their flexibility to changing needs, new opportunities and the ability to create new ...

Abstract

The following summary discusses the cooling techniques of atomic vapor in several different ways. Additionally, it tends to relate the evolution of experiments that are used in studying shallow layered fluids. Starting with the atomic condensates, the method is known as trapping. However, it exists in many ways from the laser system to the Bose-Einstein methods. The methods of cooling are different due to the evolutionary progress made by science. The use of laser beams includes the study of light forces on atoms which lead to either an absorption or emission of a photon. While the contraction of matter ...

Abstract

Chinese government and Chinese people were working out new conceptual framework for practices that departed from the traditional philology of the Chinese dialects. The essay not only discusses the differences between Wenyan and Baihua traces the progress made by modern Chinese, leading to a new type of literature. The discussion sheds light on the ancient Chinese language and the struggle between classical and vernacular literatures and how baihua promoted a sense of immediacy as compared to wenyan. Chinese ‘language’ and its dialects’ are as complex as their long history. One cannot deny the impact of Western’ languages on the ...

Reflection and Refraction

As air is the most essential resource for our survival, the light is the most important phenomenon for our perception. Although being a pretty complex phenomenon, the behavior of light in our everyday interactions can be simplified and approximated to the geometrical optics. In this field of physics, the light propagation is described in terms of rays. The rays come through the wave fronts (being tangent to them) and are an effective approximation because usually light moves in straight lines. The rays are linear in homogenous media; they can bend or be curved if the refractive index of the ...

Abstract

I believe that the integration of digital technology in designs is very necessary and cannot be avoided. This is because of its extensive effects on architecture and its general ambiguity. This paper, I believe, will make it possible for individuals and institutions to analyze and decide appropriately on the use of digital prefabrication, as a new technology in the design systems. Although many opinions have been presented with different position statements, the immediacy of proactive consideration on the digital systems is of utmost importance. In this paper, I have explored the relationship between CAD and CAM, computer and production.

- Explain what is a transform plate boundary A transform boundary are places where tectonic plates slide past each other. From a geological point of view transform boundaries are meant as a half-movement. Tectonic displacements do not affect the whole plate but a certain length, sometimes only certain segments cross mid-ocean ridges. Another feature of transform plates is that they join or separate the most heterogeneous patterns in the ocean and in the transition to it from the continental zone.

- Give some facts about plate boundary The largest offset segments of the mid-ocean ridges, as it turns out, has ...

Abstract

In the pre-colonial era and shortly after the colonial period, border crossing by communities was a common phenomenon and occurrence. The realization of indigenous communities of the presence of an immigrant community amongst them did not come as a shocker to the natives. These immigrant communities moved from one place to another for different reasons. There were those who crossed these borders in search of better lifestyles. There were those who had also been displaced by war activities and, therefore, had to cross these boundaries in search of peaceful settlements. Still, there were those who moved from one boundary to the ...

Despite the fact that the United States history has serious experience gained from the American Civil War till the famous speech of Martin Luther King, our society is still harmed by presence of destructive ideas of social inequality and division not by the social position or character, but by ethnicity and therefore skin color. This problem is one of the most painful for the contemporary American nation as it is the boundary on the way to social progress and development. It divides our society and creates imaginary warfare and the set of senseless conflicts.

Abstract

Gary S. Becker was an American economist. He was one of the first individual economists to become interested in and formulate theories on issues surrounding crime, punishment, discrimination, and altruism; his theories often crossed the boundary between economics and sociology (Clement 2002). Although this is a common practice today, when Becker began his work as an economist, the two fields were vastly different; this paper will investigate the overlap between Becker’s work and sociological fields, as well as the major contributions he made to the field of economics.

Gary S. Becker was born in 1930 in Pennsylvania. He worked ...

It is true that many people do not have service mindedness. As a result, we can say that service mindedness is not natural but it develops by nurturing. In most cases, the marketing department plays an important role in training its employees on how to handle customers. Ideally, this is because customer service plays a great role to enhance customer service satisfaction. For instance, it is not obvious an employee to attend a customer who enter in a hotel. Some of the employees may think that the customer should call them in order to communicate whatever they want to consume from the hotel. ...
