Competitive Advantage Comparison Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation How does the text’s environment (that strategy must fit) differ from Jobber and Lucas’s environment? The Crafting and Executing Strategy textbook describes the business environment concept of how a business must use the best strategies with a proper execution from the leadership of able management to help the company get competitively advantaged than other players (Gamble et al., 2015). On the other hand, Jobber and Lucas’s view of the environment involves the integration of the TPC framework, which emphasizes a coalition of technical, political, and cultural structures within the business (Jobber & Lucas, 2000). The text book’s view is that the strategy adopted by the company to compete with other players in the industry must get in line with its values and goals. Some of the objectives of the company are to become competitive in the marketplace. Therefore, Gamble and his team say the management must come up with the strategies geared towards that focus. Jobber and Lucas’s TPC model concentrates on how…
meaningful relationship between chairs and administrators Numerous actions can be taken by Percy to enhance a more meaningful relationship between chairs and administrators (Mcalearney & Kovner, 2013). The primary way is to augment the level of education of the administrators. An evaluation done by Percy has revealed that a majority of the administrators don’t have the needed skills for the management of clinical operations. The lack of skills has significantly contributed to the declining relationships between chairs and administrators in the institution. To improve their education, the organization can come up with leadership and management education programs that if taken one will be given an incentive of, for instance, a bonus (Mcalearney & Kovner, 2013). Through the programs, the administrators will be equipped with the necessary skills and experiences needed for working with others, ultimately leading to the enhancement in relationships within the organization. Moreover, Percy needs to centralize the leadership (Mcalearney & Kovner, 2013). Presently, there is no administrator in the institution who reports to Percy, meaning that Percy is not entirely aware of what is going on in…

Moms showed her kids to peruse, compose, and numerous different exercises they would take with them all through life. Fundamentally, activities of endurance were instructed at home. On the off chance that somebody needed to step up and discover some new information, they would locate the best possible asset, whether it be a school or tutor to gain from (Herold 2020.p25).

A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that reveals itself to be true depending on the nature of its behaviour that includes the act of making the prediction itself. A false definition of the situation evoking a new response which makes the initially false conception comes true (Merton, 1948 ). Robert Merton drew his inspiration from William Thomas, who said: “If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences.” An example of a self-fulfilling prophecy is the tale of Oedipus Rex. Oedipus abandoned to die by his father. In a twist, he was rescued and lived with the king at some point he was confronted by the prophecy that he would kill his father and marry his widowed mother. To evade the prophecy, he moves to another tow. Ironically the predict still comes to light as he defeats the sphinx and kills his father, becoming the king of Thebes and ends up marrying his widowed mother. Another classic example is well-endowed in Shakespeare play, Macbeth. Self-fulfilling prophecies can have an array of effects on social interactions and relationships,…
