Introduction and Situation Description

Organizations, by nature, go through constant change. As we evolve, new information becomes available that, if implemented, can allow us to operate more efficiently and productively. Educational institutions are no exception to this general statement. Schools develop over time to take into account new ideas and theories that hopefully benefit all stakeholders involved. Not all change, of course, is good. The danger of refusing to change, however, far outweighs the consequences of remaining in mediocrity simply because of a fear of failure or a general unwillingness to accept an opposing point of view. This author is currently employed at ...

Chapter II - Literature Review

Section I – Literature Search In this paper, the author hypothesized that one of the major causes of Ford Motors’ demise, in terms of organizational performance, is its inability to address the causes of its product recalls, which consequently led to significant financial setbacks and brand and image deterioration. The recalls of Ford previous products affected its short – term performances and damaged its image, determining prospect customers to shift their focus from Ford to other automobile brands.

There can be no denial of the fact that the poem, Children’s Hospital, penned by the eminent poet, Katie Ford, is one of the finest literary works that leaves a lasting mark in the minds of the avid readers. The poet goes on to use her prowess so as to bring out the images with the apt use of literary devices. It needs to be noted that this literary work deals with a grave matter. One is more accustomed to associate children with innocence and exuberance. However, this poem in context portrays a grim side related to life ...

Henry Ford brilliantly used the Blue Ocean Strategy. He clearly saw that the automobile market was narrow, as the target audience consisted of rich citizens only. Over 500 companies were producing highly customized and costly product. The competition was furious and the target audience – very limited. The whole industry was not designed for the mass market. Therefore, when Ford realized his new idea of producing inexpensive and durable cars, he really made a breakthrough in the industry. By reengineering the production processes, he managed to manufacture affordable standardized cars thus creating a new market. In such a way he ...

In his work, Plutarch once said: “For the mind does not require filling like a bottle, but rather, like wood, it only requires kindling to create in it an impulse to think independently and an ardent desire for the truth.” (Babbitt, Helmbold, Einarson, Clement, & O'Neil, 1927) That was true in Plutarch’s times and remains true until now. I am inclined to believe that it’s better to develop oneself in the field that is interesting to you rather than to fill your head with any “useful” information. Another question – what is interesting to me? I entered college 15 ...

Suffrage rights should be mandatory in every jurisdiction around the world. One thing that is worth noting is that governments derive their legitimacy from the electorate. Voting is a democratic right that gives power to the elected officials to work for the people. The yielding of the power by the electorate to their elected officials through democratic processes such as voting is known as the social contract (Scher 55). This means that any government that does not make voting rights mandatory is illegitimate. This is because the government is not representative of the entire citizenry which the government rules over.

HIV infection may be divided onto four stages depending on the clinical history, physical examination, status of immune dysfunction, signs and symptoms and infections/malignancies. The first stage or the primary infection is characterized by acute HIV syndrome with a dramatic drop in CH4+ T-cells (500 to 1500 cells/mm3). The second stage ...

In this paper I am going to examine race discrimination in the movie “12 Years a Slave” by Steve McQueen on the example of the film clip showing the process of buying black ...

Just the few people believed that it was the beginning of something bigger. America was about to meet its most outstanding personalities, who turned the country, and made it better. Certainly, everyone came across such names as Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Ford. The Industrialization era is the time of the most ...
