Mintzberg felt that “Fayol’s fifty year description of managerial work is no longer of use to us” (Mintzberg, 1971 pp 39). Mintzberg proposed a different model consisting of ten work roles; interpersonal roles (figurehead, leader and liaison), informational roles (monitor or nerve center, disseminator and spokesman) and decision-making (entrepreneur, disturbance handler, resource allocator and negotiator). However this model came under scrutiny by competing theorists. The author used many…

Many theories exist to aid in that process, and it sometimes takes the concepts of more than one theory to completely analyze best practices. As medicine evolves it is important that providers look at the core meta-paradigm concepts of person, health, environment and nursing. According to Alimohammadi, Taleghani, Mohammadi, and Akbarian, (2014)…

Three of the most relevant theories invented are the Downsian Model, the Punish and Reward Theory, and the Investment Theory. The most plausible of the three due to its heavy tested empirical evidence is the Investment Theory. This paper will discuss the upcoming elections under the light of the Investment Theory, thus proving that American elections are…

The modern portfolio theory was based on risk and return trade-offs and was developed in earlier works of Harry Markowitz (1952, 1959) and Roy (1952). According to Markowitz (1952), risk can be eliminated through diversification by spreading the wealth across the assets. In his work, Markowitz (1959) implemented the theory of mean-variance of market portfolio which provided the initial foundation for capital asset pricing model. His model was a static model which assumed that investors tend to…

Do I think utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue theory is right? Utilitarianism is acts that make people happy are right, and acts that cause pain to people are bad actions. Deontology is where an act must be done from a sense of duty to have moral worth. Virtue theory is says people must act how other people would act in that situation. These theories all seem to have one flaw in common. The only consider the actions of someone and not the intentions as well. I think actions are very…
