Leader Match is leadership training program developed by Fiedler, Chemers, and Mahar; it is an adaptation of Fiedler’s contingency model (Jago and Ragan, 1986). Taking the contingency theory a step further, Leader Match focuses on the same two factors: leadership style and leadership situation (Jago and Ragan, 1986). The leadership style is determined by the score on the Least Preferred Co-Worker scale (Jago and Ragan, 1986). The situational factor is determined by the leader-member relations,…

problems. Mainly the foundation contained logic and discrete mathematics and techniques that author explained are specification and reasoning. The specification is a process in which informally given concepts are transformed into mathematical model and theory. The reasoning is the process in which process in analyzed which is used for designing formal specification which has a formal logical base. The paper is more focused on specification than reasoning. The author has categorized the issues…

Howley: Discussion Board #3: Theory and Research The theoretical models and theories used in nursing research along with how this applies to nursing practice is the topic of this discussion board. The discussion is related to the concepts of burnout and nurses workload tied in with how theory and research may come together to frame the problem. The focus will be on the following PICO question, what is the impact of staffing levels on self- reported incidence of burnout among emergency…

ENDOGENOUS GROWTH MODEL INTRODUCTION In economics the pending question as always been “How do we boast GDP and GDP growth rate”, “How can we grow faster” it is discovered that in solow growth model GDP and GDP growth rate are determined by savings rate, population growth rate, and rate of technological progress. Economies that are advanced in technology, the advancement of knowledge is a very key determinant of growth, however, economies that are less developed, theoretical and empirical…

Geocentric Model The geocentric model is a theory developed by philosophers in Ancient Greece which explained the universe structure where Earth is at the orbital centre of all celestial bodies. In the 4th century BC, Plato and Aristotle published studies based on geocentrism and believed that Earth was stationary at the centre of the solar system, and stars and planets rotated around the Earth on concentric spheres arranged in the order: Moon, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the…

Queuing theory & Inventory model: In manufacturing spectrum of business, these two concepts are well revered. Queuing theory is mathematical & empirical approach to study the waiting time & aspects of products in a batch or a queue. A queuing model is one constructed based on this approach in order to efficiently & coherently reduce the waiting time of process in a business model. Inventory is a complete list of goods, property, raw material or even data, whichever is the case according to…

classical competitive equilibrium theory assumes that there is centralized market where buyers and sellers of labor can meet and trade at a single price. In reality the supply-and-demand approach seems poorly suited for some questions that arise in the labor market. Particularly questions such as why identical workers in an identical job position are paid differently? How are wages determined? Is there bargaining between firms and workers? Equilibrium search theory provides a rigorous but…

IDEOLOGY In contrast, Street (1984) stated that an 'Ideological' model of literacy "accepts that literacy varies from situation to situation and it depends on the belief" (Barton, 1994: 25). This means that reading, writing are cultural practices, and are learned in specific cultural contexts (Baker & Street, 1991:2). In (Cabral, & Martin-Jones 2008). Ideological model argued that using literacy and numeracy cannot be generalized across cultures, and cannot be isolated or treated either as…

Social learning theory is based off the concept that people learn from watching others. This is applicable to career development because an individual’s career choice may be reflective of a learned outcome from their family members. As stated before, role models serve as an important part in a minority individuals career development. My family serves as examples to others and their descendants…

PERT takes the CPM approach one step further by calculating expected times using the optimistic, pessimistic and most likely activity durations of the unique critical path used in CPM. Although the PERT approach takes into account three various durations for each activity, only one unique critical path is established. Monte Carlo simulations build upon the PERT method by providing multiple critical paths based on the variances of the expected durations of the activities. Monte Carlo simulations…
