Communication Communication as a tool that plays a very integral role that keeps projects on tasks. A project manager is expected to guide every aspect of a project, which also includes a communication plan. Understanding all parts of a procurement communication plan is vital. This particular plan is essential to each project since it outlines all expectations concerning when and how communications will take place in the whole project. Proper procedures that are solid gives room for higher consistencies concerned with how a project gets handled in the hands of a project team. This particular step ensures that every stakeholder receives the same kind of information based on project needs and necessary changes required. Regular project communications yield productivity since individuals feel highly valued by project managers (Tadele, 2019). Good communication plans allow project managers to effectively lead their team in a direction that will boost the achievement of every desired outcome. Without a proper communication plan, a project might not achieve its targets, leading to a massive collapse. Another importance concerned with a communication plan is the fact…
Public charity organization Feeding America Feeding America is a US-based charitable organization that is a countrywide association of above 200 food stores. It endeavors in feeding more than 47 million individuals through food pantries, shelters, and several community-based groups. According to McReynolds (2016), Feeding America is among the top ten largest charitable organizations in terms of revenue within the US. For more than 30 years, Feeding America has acted to hunger predicament in the US by offering food to persons in need via a countrywide system of food stores. John Van Hengel founded the Feeding America organization in 1979 with its headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. John Van Hengel, a retired industrialist, developed the food banking idea in the late 1960s. He had been volunteering at the Soup kitchen, making attempts to serve hungry individuals. One day, John came across a hopeless mother who often walked around grocery garbage bins to collect food for her family. The mother gave John a suggestion on the necessity of creating a place where the discarded food can be stored instead of throwing it away…
Charles Handy classes of organizational culture Organizational Culture Charles Handy developed several classes of organizational culture in a bid to get a better understanding of why employees behave in some way. Power culture is the first class. Here, Handy says that in an organization, the power to make essential decisions lies in the hands of a relatively small number of people (do Carmo Silva & Gomes, 2015). Even though the number of influential individuals is low, their impact is felt by all the people in the organization. The powerful few in an organization determine the things that should happen at a particular time. They also decide the person or group of people that should implement their decisions. The junior members in the organizations are expected to do exactly what their leaders decide (do Carmo Silva $ Gomes, 2015). In the case of a company, employees are judged by the outcomes of their actions as opposed to their ways of doing things. That kind of culture promotes Consequentialism in ways that benefit the organization even when the processes of achieving the…
precautionary policing The authors hypothesized that the police officers, as well as staff negotiations with risk, indicate a paradigmatic shift from the traditional policing to precautionary policing. The concept of precautionary policing remains a hot topic of discussion by social science scholars and international human rights activists. Furthermore, they hypothesized that risk management constitutes the backbone of good governance both in the public and private sectors. Additionally, they posit that the mitigative measures put in place by governmental and non-governmental agencies are viewed as the cornerstone to the new management control. The authors assert that risk management is contingent on crime management and power within the policing context. The data was collected through ethnographic fieldwork in a police force control room (FCR). The focus was based on England to establish how law officers and staff construct narratives of risk. The focal point of the study was on the police response to domestic violence. The research was conducted on 26 police officers who were taken through a rigorous ethnography within a total of 55 hours. The respondents in the participation were…
Post-Independence Challenges in Angola and Rwanda After independence many African leaders did not know how to run the governments. Most of the countries have experienced ethnic and religion clashes and they have spent most of the initial independence years fighting rather than developing their nation. This paper will discuss the post colonial challenges experienced in Rwanda and Angola and the solutions that their leaders are giving to the problem facing the counties. Since independence, Angola has had a history of violence and conflict since they have not been able to make their government work and make a democratic transition. Angola has always served the interest of the few minority groups, leaving the majority population out. Therefore, there are high levels of poverty, child and maternal deaths, and illiteracy levels. The attempts to create a stable and democratic government has been underway, but there are a few stabling blocks to achieve this. The people have gone to election and turned out in great numbers and although the international agency and other observers claim the elections were free and fair, the…
IMPACT OF CULTURE AND COMPETITION IN BUSINESS STRATEGY Having a clear and robust business strategy is one of the pillars of becoming a successful business. Business strategy gets defined as the method through which a company uses to accomplish its set out objectives and goals and is usually between three and five years. The plan guides every decision-making process in the organization, how resources get allocated, and how the business operations get conducted to meet the company’s desired targets. Business strategy gets influenced by various factors, including organizational habits and competition. The culture at any organization involves the standards, beliefs, values, principles, and actions that are responsible for the unique psychological and social environment in a firm (Flamholtz and Randle, 2011, 6). Competition, on the other hand, represents the rivalry that exists between two firms in the same sector, producing and selling the same commodities or service with the shared aim of increasing revenues and their customer base (Ireland, Hoskisson and Hitt, 2009, 51). This paper aims to: 1) Define competition and analyze its influence on the strategy-making decision in…
Poor Communication in Healthcare Actually, in all healthcare, communication is a crucial component, and to thrive, health organizations should recognize the importance of communication. The management should consider innovative ways of developing communication due to current technology (Anderson et al., 2017). The paper discusses the issue of poor communication in the health sector and personal proposal on how I feel the sharing of information can be improved. Evidence-based Practices and Poor Communication An increase in demand for services due to a rise in the population of patients, ineffective communication between patients and staff is a concerning issue. Effective communication enables better services to patients as it enhances good relationships and coordination between departments. It is the work of stakeholders to ensure an effective communication system between the departments (Leonard, 2017). Poor communication is also associated with social, ethical and economic implications. Due to miscommunication, a family can mourn losing their loved ones, a situation that could have been avoided if communication was effective. According to Shitu et al. (2018), medical errors can make patients seek sophisticated treatment, which is expensive.…
Reflection Paper on Popular culture Popular culture is all around us whether or not we are aware of it. It shapes our opinions and enlightens us about the transformations happening around us. I interact with popular culture daily through what I listen to on the radio, read in the newspaper, and watch on the television. I mostly use the internet to interact with popular culture. In today’s modern world, the internet is responsible for shaping opinions. According to Pew Research (2008), unlike the 19th century, newspapers, television broadcasts, and even scientific discoveries are today accessible through the internet. My reaction to popular culture depends on whether or not I am interested in the pop culture artifact. For instance, I don’t find modern fashion as compelling as contemporary music. I, therefore, choose to interact with the later. I react to pop culture I am drawn to by sharing artifacts with family and friends and giving my feedback to the owners. Through studying popular culture, I have come to understand that culture changes over time. The perceptions of popular culture in the…
Equal rights amendment (ERA) It was a suggested reformation presented to the United States constitution developed to assure equality on legal rights for all American citizens irrespective of their sex. It seeks to bring to end the legal disparities between men and women when it comes to settling matters such as employment, divorce, and property. The first amendment to be introduced to Congress was in the year 1923 by Crystal Eastman and Alice Paul. In the early history of ERA, the middle-class women were found in full support of the presentation, with the spokespersons of the working class .despising the same defense that the employed women were advocating for special needs, protections relating to working conditions and the environment as well as working hours. Increased movements of women movements around the state in the 1960s raised the popularity of the recommendations, which were then approved by the house of the representatives in 1971 with the Senate supporting the same in 1972 from where the ERA recommendations were presented to the state legislature for ratification as it is evidenced in the…
Analysis of Interpersonal Communication in Green Book Interpersonal communication is the process of sharing information, thoughts, and emotion, and this can be through verbal articulation or non-verbal communication techniques such as body language or gestures. In other words, the social world can be creative and alive as a result of interpersonal communication. People can function in groups and teams as they work on different projects due to their ability to communicate and understand one another regardless of the means that the person uses to pass the message across. The effectiveness of interpersonal communication can be seen through the relationships that are shared between closed ones such as family members and those of people in romantic relationships. These relationships are also known as personal, and its mainly because they impact a person directly. Wood (2015) defines that “a relationship defined by uniqueness, rules, relationship dialects, commitment, and embeddedness in contexts. Personal relationships, unlike common ones, are irreplaceable” (194). These types of communication impact on the choices that people make, including the process of making decisions, especially in contemporary times. Communication is…
