For most people, the first day of work can be quiet a catastrophe. In fact, standing in a new office can be reminiscent of the first day of kindergarten waiting at the front gate with our hands glued to our mom’s hands unable to let go and take another step. At least during those days, we had teachers to depend on and to show us around the school. In a new office, however, everyone is pre-occupied with work so more often than not, a piece of paper is the only source of guideline to turn to in order to survive the rest of the day. Oftentimes, these orientation guidelines are misleading and contain unnecessary or inadequate information about the job, so they intimidate employees instead of welcoming them.…
Appeal to Pathos: Examples: “You will surely make your dear mother happy should you make her breakfast.” “When you finally leave for college, I will be the only child left. I’m sure I will find myself all alone far more often, all without a fleeting bit of hope left. The last one left, that’s me. ... College awaits, no?”…
The Classical Approach according to “Workforce Magazine” critiques it as “advantageous because it is based on a hierarchical organization structure. While in contrast according to “The Houston Chronicle” in contrast it is “disadvantageous because it reduces employee motivation, growth and creativity and discourages teamwork”. In 1999 Office Space was released upon its initial release it was a movie that was ahead of its time. The movie depicted a classical approach focused organization focused on hierarchy and as a result a negative impact on motivation of employees in a workforce. Office Space, which was released on in 1999 and directed by Mike Judge, produces a satirical critique and analyzes multiple organizational practices.…
Under the assumption of; if the business should expand its store to a similar market segment area would yield similar success to the benchmark store location. The main tapestry segmentations is used to discover the zip code area that has a similar tapestry segmentation to the Portola’s Costa Mesa store location.

Timothy McVeigh, the terrorist and mass murderer who was responsible for the deadliest domestic terrorist attack in the United States that killed 168 people on April 19, 1995. A royal blue dress, solid red dress, solid yellow dress, black dress, white dress, and two paisley dresses filled my sight as I glanced around at the managers crammed into my office, sitting in the dull brown chairs that surrounded my desk. They were intently waiting for me to discuss the next item that I planned to mention. I could hear the clicking, clattering, and chattering of the employees as they prepared for the day ahead.…
This also rises another issue as only one person is trained to do a certain job, therefore when they leave it becomes a huge issue when part of their job role is essential to keep the system going and no one else knows how to do it. The website Justitia comments that as the baby boomer generation is retiring new bodies need to fill their positions. This then causes issues as the younger generations may not have the experience to take over. As a result many baby boomers are convinced to stay longer in order to train the younger generation.…
I remember growing up and thinking there would be flying cars and talking robots by the 2010’s. Although we’ve got robot mops and vacuums, it’s not exactly what I expected. In the book, The Rise of the Creative Class, the author Richard Florida intertwines that idea of expecting more technological advances to occur throughout the years. He starts of his book with the analogy of a time travelling man from the 1950’s who visits the 1900’s, and then our present era. We learn from this analogy that the time travelling man would be more adaptable to our current technology, compared to the early 1900’s.…
In this essay, both of McGregor’s concepts of ‘Theory Y’ and ‘Theory X’ (McGregor, 1960) will be explored. However, it must be mentioned from the outset that one can argue to a greater extent that Theory X provides a more universal approach towards management within the leisure industry. Despite this, some elements of Theory X are undoubtedly outdated. The autocratic style of Theory X leadership no longer governs industries as effectively as it once did – due to many factors including an increase in quality of the labour force, an increase in labour mobility, and the increase of influence from the labour force due to legislation and social trends. As a result of this, it will be argued throughout that neither Theories X or Y provide new leisure…
M3A1 Hospital Design from an OM Perspective The case study entitled Evaluating hospital design from an operations management perspective, by Vos, Groothuis, & Merode, (2007), attempts to determine the most efficient layout of a hospital’s patient working spaces within a proposed hospital complex. The case study purports to indicate best physical floorplan layout properties, based on analysis and experimentation of patient flow, operational management strategy, logistical concepts, and future technology growth. The case study emphasis (operations and management requirements) was appropriate, but incomplete and non-functional for the goal of assessing and determining hospital design.…
For successful execution in innovation, diversity and inclusion are common design elements in five theories: absorptive capacity, actor-network, agency, attachment, and attribution theories. Through these five theories, I would like to share my thoughts about why diversity and inclusion are common elements in five theories, which make a huge difference in innovation. Here are the details: Absorptive capacity supports diversity and inclusion that recognizes the value of new knowledge, assimilates it, and uses it toward achieving innovation. In order to be innovate, we need to help our teams better absorb and use new knowledge to accomplish our innovative goals. Through diversity, absorptive capacity greatly impacts the ideas of technological…
All human beings hugely rely on their environment and workplace surroundings. Since most people spend an extensive amount of their time at work, one of the most crucial factors that an employer should be concerned with is positive atmosphere within an organisation. Physical environment gives an effect on productivity, performance and even interaction between colleagues. A workplace setting is the most critical aspect in keeping an employee satisfied in today’s business world. Looking at the fact that the interior atmosphere changes constantly and workers have limitless job opportunities, it becomes nothing but logical that businesses are in a bigger need of their employees rather than the opposite, employees needing the business.…
