We all have dreams that are so close, but seem so far away. There may be something stopping us from reaching for these dreams such as, other people’s opinions, cultural traditions, or our own self-doubt. A controversy lies between what we wish to accomplish and what others think we need to accomplish. It all comes down to our personal responsibility and the opinions of others that keeps us from moving forward. It is simply reality. This reality is explored in the book, “Like Water For Chocolate”…

Using S.M.A.R.T. goals is a way for a person or organization to define a structure and a way to track objectives and goals alike. As everybody has at least few goals in life, such as family, work, social life, wealth, etc., being able to prioritize and the desire to accomplish it becomes an important factor (YourCoach, 2017). According to the S.M.A.R.T. model goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely (Siegal, Yacht, 2009). In Alice’s case using the S.M.A.R.T. model we…

Freakonomics can be seen as the study of economics based on the principle of incentives. In the movie, Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner gives multiple examples of how incentives govern our thoughts and actions and its role in economics. The first example explored was the unlikeliness of a house agent to wait to sell a client house for a higher price. The simple reason is the low incentive. If the agent was to wait another week to sell the house for a price that is only 10k higher, they would get…

The main point made by the author, John Markoff, is that people are more likely to do something when they are given an incentive, or gift. Markoff expressed, through the help of others, that if there was a problem that needed to be fixed, giving an incentive to a person would help fix the problem because the person would mostly likely start doing whatever needed to be done to help out with the problem. Markoff supports his main point about incentives being a good thing by giving examples of what…

Benchmark - Ethical Dilemmas Everyone at a point in their life has had to make a decision of whether to choose one alternative over the other, while neither of them would provide amiable results. This is basically the definition of what an ethical dilemma means; ‘‘a process by which individuals use their moral base to determine whether a certain issue is right or wrong’’ (Carlson et al. 2009, p. 536; see also Tenbrunsel and Smith-Crowe 2008). The way people react when being put in a similar…

For the organizational change at Tiger Boots, I would recommend a planned approach using Kotter’s 8-step Model of Change. Kotter’s Model includes eight steps that serve as an effective framework to plan and executive organizational change. The Tiger Boots case reflects a goal of new market entry accompanied by a capacity change implementation. Tiger Boots has decided to enter a new market of lower-cost casual menswear but lacks the appropriate production capacity, marketing relationships, and a…

backbone of society, others are made for us. However, as an existentialist would say, you always have a choice. Existentialism is a philosophical theory that stresses that all humans are free and responsible for their own development through their own decisions. In the play, The Respectful Prostitute by Jean-Paul Sartre, Lizzie uses her own freedom to advance her socioeconomic status and fulfill her need to be wanted at the expense of two people’s lives and justice for the man who was slain.…

The term of ethical dilemmas is one which has been defined many times, as suggested by Oxford Dictionaries “A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two courses of action, either of which entails transgressing a moral principle.” (Oxford Dictionaries | English, 2017) Therefore, this suggests that one has a choice to make and two courses of actions can have different impacts with the overall moral principle in mind. The purpose of this essay is to therefore discuss different…
