According to the Loc sin’s theory, individuals are seen to be greater than the sum of their parts.

Discussion Questions on the Institutions of Higher Education

Discussion Questions on the Institutions of Higher Education

Nowadays, the emerging “for profit” institutions become a popular alternative to the traditional “non for profit” higher educational institutions. The for-profit-sector, as Lloyd Armstrong claims, “has not made the mistake of equating program quality either with the level of prior educational attainment of entering students, or the fraction of applicants who are rejected” (Armstrong, 2010). Thereby this strategy and a greater innovativeness of the institutions result in a great interest to them among the working adults and the members of minority groups. Considering their students as the clients, for profit organization ...

Organization design, HR and line manager roles and responsibilities and high-performance work systems (HPWS)

Introduction, Background, and Purpose

Power is more relational than absolute. Power relates to the degree of control that one exercises over outcomes, resources, actions, and process. The power can either be formal or informal.

This is legitimate power afforded to a worker to enable them to deliver their mandate. Illegitimate power is different from the legitimate authority because unlike in the former case, the illegitimate power lacks authority. Nonetheless, it can be significantly ...
