They start with other distractive activities (Mark et al., 2017). Fried places these activities, which may include a tea break or even a lunch break.

He appears to be a theory Y manager and not a theory X manager. Theory X manager is a manager who does not participate in work.…
Mid-term Exam Option 1 The conventional way of operating a business is no longer regarded as the best choice. As a result, companies are becoming more and more incentivized in caring more about the social, political and economic issues of the world. On one end, Greenberg (2012) discusses that it is a good intention. The writer, Greenberg (2012), offers illustrative instances of how multi-national and high grossing businesses such as General Electric and Ford are using their resources to address the on-going issues in society. For example, companies are taking up social causes on helping children of child abuse and violence background. Greenberg (2012) commemorates such activities as good, intentional and forward-thinking with the world today. Nonetheless, the writer criticizes the intent of such companies bringing forth the need to address the underlying reason as to why such companies are doing such acts. Therefore, he brings forward this crucial thinking mentality questioning the relativity of addressing social issues by such businesses. Concerning the ideological acts of the businesses, Greenberg (2012) addresses the main marketing route that companies are taking. The…
A successful organization Introduction In the current world, most of the organizations are trying to be successful even though the business environment is very competitive. Irrespective of the size of the companies, most of the companies are sincerely striving to ensure that they are retaining most of their best employees by ensuring that they are acknowledged because of the vital roles and the impact on the organization’s effectiveness. Therefore, it is essential that companies are supposed to ensure that they have created a strong and positive relationship with the employees and be able to give them direction in order to fulfill their responsibilities (Baporikar, 2018). For the employees to be able to achieve their goals and objectives, most of the organizations are supposed to ensure that they have developed better strategies that will enable their employees to compete in these competitive markets and, at the same time, can increase their performance. This assignment aims to explain perception, attitudes, motivation, and team working theories topics as part of the management qualification and analyze the situation of Simon and explain the positive…
The exit gate Yesterday I went to my local club to play tennis shots, and the courts were dotted with tens of wazungu kids having fun while their black counterparts watched lugubriously, if that word exists in the first place. I joined the locals in the watching game briefly before walking off in boredom to look for something to chew like any village cow. My wandering brought me to the exit gate, and that’s where I met my nightmare—the security guys at the gate. Being a well brought up son of my mother, I decided to say hi and extend a handshake like a real Luo. Little did I know that in these parts, a handshake meant a commitment to pay them some unknown amounts of money. My courtesy had made me a few coins indebted to them. And the brazenness with which they demand it is so loathsome that my brother George Obbo would whip out his bokarao (hippo hide whip) and reward them with a few lashes. That reminded me of the rise to fame and influence at…
The recession of 2008-2009 The recession of 2008-2009 was the most prominent economic tragedy over more than the last 70 years. Economic failure was stated to be the result of the free-market policies. However, it can be better described as the result of the failure of economic policies adopted and implemented by the US government over the decade. The financial institutions lost track of the mortgage securities and decided to issue mortgages to the ones who were inclined towards a default. The subprime mortgage crisis led to events of fraud, especially for the different loans offered to the residents despite their lack of ways of loan repayment. The fraudulent activities incurred a massive loss to the financial organizations that, in turn, impacted the national economy. The federal experts also failed to anticipate the impacts of such actions, thus resulting in a crash of the stock market and a considerable portion of investors losing their investments made over the past years. There is a wide range of factors that contributed to one of the most tragic economic crises in the history…
Handling students Case Study Typically, handling students is a complex process that requires educators to pursue an in-depth understanding of their learners’ surroundings. That is because if they fail to do so, they might not have the right methods to achieve the desired objectives of their endeavors. In so doing, they get to develop beliefs that correspond with the various situations in which students find themselves. Moreover, the approach highlighted above would also enable the teacher to unveil the students’ problem and thus respond to them appropriately. In light of the information presented above, Jessica is a grade three student that would lead an educator into believing that she is an above-average student that is encountering challenges from home that affect her learning process. Thus, the implication is that the student mentioned above lacks proper parenting. It also means that she is psychologically disoriented and therefore requires the ability to concentrate and make most out of her classes. Besides, the fact that she is the one that takes care of her siblings implies that she even does not get the…
School leaders Schools need leaders who can rally resources and motivate teachers and learners to ensure meaningful learning. Without proper leadership, a school is doomed to fail. This paper explores the significance of good leadership regarding setting up mission and vision that can steer learning and ensure meaningful learning and strategies that embed the mission and vision of the school for successful learning. My school is an ABC learning center. It has grades 1 to grade 5. Mission and Vision School leaders should have a vision and mission that guides the operations of the school.

You will concentrate your staff development plan on your staff and the real needs of your school. You get this view from a comprehensive monitoring and assessment program. The strategic thinking, the…
Cause of Alarm The purpose of the alarm over the implementation of facial recognition technology in policing was because of the system’s capability to cause and oppress citizens. For instance, the law enforcement team from the New York police department hacked facial recognition by using a famous actor Woody Harrelson’s face to replace a blurred suspect facial image (Harrison, 2019). Furthermore, the facial recognition is flawed and needs discretion during application after it recognized a university student for the Sri Lanka suicide Bomber. Additionally, facial recognition is prone to manipulation, thereby, can be wrongfully applied to incarcerate innocent people (Ray, 2020). For example, joint research between the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, with the help of Stanford University, created a software reenacting an individual’s speech onto another person. The software animates the facial cues from a video then express it on another video (Burgess, 2016). Hence, the software is capable of making an individual say another person’s speech with exact precision. Technology racism is another cause for alarm over the implementation of facial recognition technology (Perkins, 2019). The technology has a high…
