Cross-Functional Operations Management Cross-functional operations management is quite essential for organizational success in the competitive business world. It allows an organization to maintain a competitive pace in the market. Further, it provides for proper coordination of various elements that play a significant role in the successful completion of a product or a service. Whether working in the production sector dealing with goods or in the service industry, operations management control is critical for the successful production, positioning, and delivery of products and services (Gitman et al. 2018). It not only allows for proper scheduling and planning but also gives the management insight into what the customers think of concerning their products /services. As opined by the authors, cross-functional operations management enables the business to have all the departments working optimally, thereby leading to efficiency and effectiveness. It also ensures the establishment of working relationships/links between different departments, thus breaking the barriers that are created when organizations adopt chimney-like approaches to administration where various departments operate as standalone territories. For instance, a secure link between marketing and production departments would help…
Cultural and Gender Differences in Management Introduction Women involved in the battle of gender interest since they got rights that were traditionally enjoyed by men. The issue of gender disparity is regulated by governments of both developed and developed countries. However, it is known that gender disparity in employment is experienced by middle eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, where culture and tradition favored women to be dependent on men. The tradition that favored men originated from ancient times, and it is reviewed as time goes by. As a result, a lot of concern and confusion is raised in less-men dominated countries. In the middle east, hiring women to take up managerial positions, especially in the scientific and technological organization, is perceived as strange. On the other side, in western countries where religion and culture have less influence, it is viable to appoint women to a leadership position. In Islamic countries, attaining gender balance at work is difficult because the society perceived men as dominant. The objective of this paper is to explore the cultural dimension in Qatar…
Customer Satisfaction and the Patient Portal Response Online portals are used as platforms for enhancing communication between organizations and other stakeholders. In the health care sector, patients’ portals facilitate communication between care providers and patients (Dendere et al., 2019). The organizations that are more likely to utilize portals include health care facilities, retails stores, learning institutions, and hoteliers, among others. The very reason for using patients’ portals is to enhance customers’ experience. They should have several specific features, which include information about the dates and times of appointments, health profiles about the patients, the outcomes of tests, and the kind of treatment being administered (Kudyba, 2018). In general, the information in the portal should provide detailed information about patients. The service providers should use the information to know more about their clients. The portals can increase customer satisfaction by facilitating engagement with the patients. The portals should be used as an electronic platform for accessing, storing, and managing information about patients (Kudyba, 2018). It is a strategy that is swift and more accurate when used correctly. The health care services…

These changes and improvements are occurring rapidly, owing to the exponential rate at which technology is also mutating (Holotiuk & Beimborn, 2017). There are several ways in which technology has transformed business. This includes mobile solutions, in which case this advancement has made it possible to handle so many aspects of the company from remote locations. The other key aspect is the use of cloud computing, in which case businesses have been to move some of the aspects of their operation to third-party servers, which are accessible through internet connectivity (Wilburn & Wilburn, 2018). This has, therefore, allowed rapid mobility and expansion without the fear of massive data losses, crashes, and downtime. Extreme customer segmentation is another marker of how technology has transformed business operations. This feature has made it possible for businesses to understand the customers they are looking for. The use of technology in business has…
Criminal Justice Management Questions: 1 Senior leaders are responsible for creating a climate that motivates officers to pursue and implement organizational objectives and goals (Baker, 2016). To implement the new policy, I would ensure that I set measurable outcomes and objectives. Additionally, I would delegate the responsibility of ensuring the implementation of the new policies to supervisors. To motivate the officers to implement the goals pertaining to immigration policies, I would ensure that I involve them in the process of planning for the objections in question. Additionally, I would try to see things from the perspective of the junior offices, who will be responsible for implementing the new policies. Motivation may also take the form of reward (Baker, 2016). For instance, I can reward and commend officers who have done an exemplary job implementing the new policies. One of the leadership traits that would be necessary when implementing the differing policies is impeccable communication and listening skills. I would need to provide consistent, inspiring messages to my team. Also, I would need to listen to junior officers and the supervisors…
Changing Regulations in the Aviation Industry Introduction The aviation industry is one of the most competitive industries in the global economy. Even so, it is faced with a lot of challenges that affect its operation and management. Two of the biggest challenges are security and aircraft maintenance. Security is paramount in aviation since public and private airlines are potential targets for terrorists and related security issues (Abbott, 2017). Therefore, security plays a critical role in aviation not only for safety but also to avoid smuggling of illegal products and contraband goods. Thus, the Federal Aviation Administration, as well as all other relevant aviation regulatory bodies, plays a critical role in coming up with organizational measures. Security Regulations Several aviation regulations are related to security. The top priority when it comes to security is safety. Are the aircraft/airplanes safe to transport passengers from one point to another destination safe for travel? The primary regulation is to go through a checklist of prioritized areas to confirm whether they are functional or in good shape before takeoff (Abbott, 2017). This kind of regulatory…

Sustainable market offering marketing plan Engaging in any business without a proper marketing plan is equivalent to driving a car without a map. Even though you might eventually reach your destination, you will make very costly and time-consuming errors along your way. A marketing plan comes to inform of a document where advertising strategies that will be implemented by an organization to provide leads on how it will get into its target market are outlined. A marketing plan performs different functions in an organization. It bases on the overall marketing strategy of a company(Alexander H,2019). It also put much consideration on the business’s value proposition. Value propositions indicate how brands or products help in solving customer problems, the benefits that a product brings, and why a customer should choose one company at the expense of another. Marketing plans come in different models. Most companies prefer doing a SWOT analysis on their product as the first step towards coming up with a marketing plan. This involves looking at a firm’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and strengths. Tyrone Creek Software development company have…

Why do Bebchuk and Fried believe that senior management controls the board, rather than the Board control senior management? In the book, “Pay Without Performance: Overview of the Issues,” the authors Bebchuk and Fried critique the CEOs pay methods and the corporate governance as a whole and believe that the executive management in the company runs the board as opposed to the norm. The first reason explained by the authors as to why they think CEOs control the board is the director’s incentives to be re-elected on the board (Bebchuk & Fried, 2005). Being a board member has various advantages as such social connections besides a hefty salary. Therefore, for a director to be retained on the board, he/she has to be in good terms with the CEO, who has a substantial influence over the nomination process. Another reason why Bebchuk and Fried believe CEOs control the board is that CEOs have the power to reward loyal directors. The CEO can significantly influence director compensation as well as influence an increase in the director’s pay. Those board members who are friendly…
