any sort of financial assistance will be beneficial to those who require them, especially if the number of states in need of financial assistance increases. I also agree that the European Union has become too huge of a political and economic partnership to really profit any of its member states. The analogy of the Athenian state can be used as an example: their democratic system worked for several years to a certain extent as most citizens were in agreement with one another. However, as the population grew, the level of dispute also increased which made the city-state vulnerable and it was eventually overpowered by the Roman Empire. Similarly, the European Union may have begun with a strong foundation and a significant unity between the six original member states. However, as the union expanded to incorporate other European countries, it became more difficult to agree on treaties and policies. Tying this to the Greek Bailouts and Syrian Refugee Crisis, the negotiation for bailouts or quotas have been prolonged because of the vast size of the European Union. It is very difficult to compromise between twenty-eight states who have individual interests to benefit their own country. Since none of the countries desire to be burdened with any sort of crises, the funding of Greek debt and the distribution of refugees becomes significant issues. Therefore, the mistrust that exists between twenty-eight states in the Union has led to further challenges in European integration. In…

In Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath argue that the six criteria of stickiness make every idea more memorable and powerful. They target business-leaders, policy-makers, and teachers. The first criterion is Simple, which has two required prongs: Core, which focuses the text, and Compact, which keeps a text concise (Heath 45-46). The second criterion is Unexpected, which opens and closes knowledge gaps to keep the target audience’s attention (65). Dan Pink’s TedTalk “The Puzzle of Motivation”…
Six Sigma to Lean or Not to Lean: Is That the Question? What are the similarities and differences between Six Sigma and the Lean Six Sigma? Using examples of companies’ implementation of the Six Sigma or the Lean Six Sigma, we look to demonstrate both the commonality and divergent elements of each approach. The result is best analyzed to review to define, compare, and contrast the Six Sigma and the Lean Six Sigma methodologies. Six Sigma Approach Six Sigma’s concentrations are a complex and…
Instead of being at the mercy of the ride, people are able to have some degree of control. This allows a deeper impression to be made on the people that participate. Whether the park rider is attempting to beat a high score or race an opponent to the finish line, interactive rides change entertainment in amusement parks. One example of an interactive ride became known to me at a young age when our family went to Six Flags Great America. Not long after being inside the park, I found the bumper…

The Six Sigma program teaches a “problem solving methodology” to achieve a standardization of quality without variations ("What Is Lean Six…

Laying the ground work is the first part of ensuring that 5S can be sustained. Leaders gain consensus from all levels and bring in skeptics to prove or show that there is a need for change. As the need for change is understood, employees can be trained to understand and implement change. Visual management assists…

However, the team has the expectation of how the project would be. The expectation is that “improving measurement system allows a Six Sigma team to focus on the right issue, thereby…
