Based on these aspects, the various skills were identified, the key ones of which were further discussed in the study. Execution has been identified to be the primary competency. Successful initiation is indeed one of the prime requirements for any project to be successful in the long run.

It ensures confident productivity and increased quality of output. Response to project selection method post Organisations are often forced with…
Case Study: Nucor Corporation The present paper will discuss four concepts and subsequently link them with the Nucor Corporation. Two concepts will be derived from journal articles, whereas the other two will be strategic management models: vision and mission aspect; and strategic planning. Ashridge Model (Chun & Davies, 2001) The first concept is the Ashridge Model (Chun & Davies, 2001). Giving a mission to an organization is essential as it offers a competitive advantage as well as other unprecedented benefits. However, the Ashridge mission model highlights the best approach to apply in coming up with a mission statement. It defines the mission as a statement that consists of four dimensions, namely; purpose, strategy, values, and behavioral standards. Figure 1: Ashridge Model (Chun & Davies, 2001) The top-most element of the model is the purpose. It depicts the goals of the organization or answers the question of why it exists. Another element is the strategy. For the organization to realize its purpose, a strategy must be in place. Therefore, for the best purpose, strategic planning (will be discussed in…

Mission, Vision, Values, and Management Vision, Mission, and Value statements, as well as management, are critical when it comes to directing an organization together with its employees and stakeholders about the purpose of the firm. The mission statement describes an entity’s reason for existing as well as its general use. On the other hand, the vision statement outlines the organization as it should appear in the coming years or decades. A company’s value statement describes what the particular entity believes in and how the organization will behave. Management is usually described as the efficient pursuit of critical organizational goals (Kinicki & Williams 2016). An organization’s vision statement is often supported by its mission statement to make clear the purpose as well as the direction of the organization to its workers, customers, and possibly stakeholders. With a comprehensive realization of such statements, the managerial team could successfully steer an organization. This paper is going to compare the health care company Aetna’s mission, vision, and values against its criteria and evaluate a comparison between United healthcare, which is another health care company. I will discuss Aetna…
THOMIST Thomist is of the school of thought that school, Church, and families should play separate but related roles when it comes to children’s education. However, that is not the case in the current society since I believe that teachers are given too much responsibility to teach things that are supposed to be handled by the Church or even the family. Most parents are working full-time jobs that take up a significant portion of their time to bod and interact with their children while imparting their values (Cornwall, 2016). During the 1950s and 1960s, in most family settings, it was the husband or the father that was the sole family provider. That meant that only a single parent worked while the other parent, mostly the mother, remained at home to take care of the house and play a central role in raising the children (Galvin, Braithwaite & Bylund, 2015). However, over the past few decades, there has been a systematic, progressive campaign to get more women into the workforce that has mostly been successful (Galvin, Braithwaite & Bylund, 2015). It…
