In reading Henry Mintzberg’s article, Organization design: fashion of fit? (1980), I was pleased that it was so easy to follow, that his concepts included examples that I could understand, and it was well organized.

Even though the article was published in the Harvard Business Review, it was written at a level that the average college student could understand, even a non-business major.

Mintzberg begins by tackling the assumption that too many people make: all organizations are alike. Indeed, they are not. He also clearly points out that ...

- Introduction The Italian Renaissance was, without a doubt, one of the formative periods in history for western society. The art that was created during this time period varied from region to region; the Italians were not unified under one country in the same way they are today during this time period. The Italian Renaissance itself did not even begin in Rome, which is where art in Italy was often centered; instead, the Italian Renaissance began in Tuscany in central Italy and spread northward (Hartt). Despite the lack of a central, guiding power in the Italian Renaissance, there are a number ...

Medici played a significant role not only in politics, but also in the cultural life of Europe of their time. Like other wealthy and influential people, they ordered a work of art for the greater glory of themselves, their family, of the city and God. Under the influence of the new ideas of the Renaissance, Medici saw in the artists not only artisans. They were interested not only on a beautiful pieces and its content, but also on its creator. Not by chance, as an example of Renaissance patron relationship to the artist, Cosimo the Elder quoted words of Filippo Lippi. Monk ...

With Luca Signorelli (1445/1450 - 1523) was accomplished, with a clearer awareness, the transition from painting as a representation to painting as example of a more aware artistic poetic. The antithesis between the pictorial formal system of Piero della Francesca and the Florentine method was essentially the antithesis between being and becoming, between stasis and movement. The historical moment was of a great religious crisis: the Catholic Church needed a form of art that did not search the absolute, on the contrary the role of a work of art was to speak and persuade the shaken believers with clear arguments. Luca Signorelli was born ...

In Inferno by Dante, the circles of Hell are depicted as different areas where people who have committed specific sins are doomed to rest.

These are a unique category distinct from the other sins, and they all have very distinct similarities - the most prominent of these are the fact that they all involve the individual valuing something earthly above God, and therefore meriting punishment. The sinners LOVE the things that they do, and that is their downfall, since they cannot escape ...

Generally, it is said that Early Renaissance fully developed in the late 16th century. The purpose of this research ...
