Religions Must Update Themselves Essay

Many people in the Modern world believe that religious books and laws must be changed to fit the lives of those that live in the 21st century; in this essay I shall argue both sides and come to a final decision on whether or not they should update themselves. One of the many religions that is constantly thought of as out of date or no longer relevant to society is Christianity. This is as the Christian religious book (the Bible) is full of laws (especially the Old Testament) that no longer work well for certain situations or make sense to the logical mind. An example of this is Exodus 21:2 NCV, which says â€Å"If you buy a Hebrew slave, he will serve you six years. In the seventh year you are to set him free, and he will have to pay nothing. † Number one slavery is not only looked down upon by the general public but is also illegal so laws on how to own and release a slave is not only useless to people of this day and age but it could also be seen as hypocritical for a God whom Christians claim to be so loving and kind to condone something as wrong as the owning of a slave. Another verse that appears illogical to non-Christians is 1 Corinthians 14:34 NIV in which Paul writes to the following in Corinth saying â€Å"Women should keep quiet in the Church meetings. They are not allowed to speak, but they must yield to this rule as the law says. † This is straight out sexism; Sexism by dictionary definition is discrimination based on a person’s sex discrimination includes being excluded from or forced to perform a certain action because of sex etc. This is what is happening here, women are not being allowed to talk in church because they are women; yet there are women pastors and evangelists and I have definitely heard several women talking during my visits to church. This raises the question of how ordinary people are to take this rule seriously and think it relevant when Christians themselves ignore it. Most people see these verses and immediately conclude that the Bible is not only out of date but also out of touch with current laws and regulations. It is easy to ake a verse out of the Bible without linking it to the rest of the chapter or considering the history which lead to it. Here are some examples of verses that show the Bible is as modern as can be. A verse that makes more sense to non-Christians and helps to prove the point that the Bible is not out of date is Exodus 21:12 NCV â€Å"Anyone who hits a person and kills him must be put to death. † This makes perfect sense. The verse mirrors not only the judicial system; that every wrong or illegal action has to be paid for but also mirrors simple logic that bad people have to pay for the bad things they do. It is the most basic and un-updateable human impulse for right and wrong to be paid equally. Another verse that helps argue the idea that the Bible is not out of date is Leviticus NCV 19:9-10 â€Å"When you harvest your crops on your land, do not harvest all the way to the corners of your fields. If grain falls onto the ground, don’t gather it up. † What would happen in Israelite times was that any grain dropped during the harvest would be picked up by the homeless. This was a form of charity towards those who were less privileged. Being charitable is something that has only become popular in the last few years yet here are the Israelites doing it so regularly it has become normal. I believe that the Bible is in fact modern and its laws are still relevant today but you have to be able to change it to fit modern language. For example one of the Ten Commandments is â€Å"Thou shalt not bear false witness against your neighbour. † This literally means you shouldn’t lie. I believe that that is the way you have to approach all the laws in the Bible not changing the meaning but changing the words to something that’s understandable.

A New Housing Development in the North Essex Assignment - 1

A New Housing Development in the North Essex - Assignment Example A different types of property mix found in these areas, whether the property infrastructure differs between these areas, the cost comparison of different properties in these areas and any interesting aspect near these areas that can add value to the aforesaid property and finally what are the issues how the total pricing of a property may be considered. It is an accepted fact in the Real Estate industry that the price of any property will vary with location; total carpet area, amenities and value additions like nearby supermarkets, swimming pool, and open space. Hence each variable must be considered while proposing a new establishment both for cost effectiveness and customer focus (Pagourtzi et al, 2003). Data Collection: We have considered housing properties in Colchester, Mersea Island, and Jaywick and details were collected from http://www.rightmove.co.uk/.We selected 58 properties in Jaywick, 60 in Mersea Island and 59 in Colchester so a total of 178 properties were selected. The distribution was more or less equal. For the above analysis and comparison, t-tests and ANOVAs were conducted and the p-value was noted. The hypothesis was that if the p-value is less than 0.05 it will mean that there is a significant difference between the observations and the observation has not taken place due to chance factors of random sampling and if the p-value is more than 0.05 it will mean that there is a no significant difference between the observations and the observation has taken place due to chance factors of random sampling (Warne et al, 2012). Further, a multiple regression equation was conducted to find how does pricing of a property relate to the various independent variables like bedrooms, parking space, and others. The equation was done through the software based on R programming language (Wessa, 2014).

Older staff often come with more life experience and a willingness to Essay

Older staff often come with more life experience and a willingness to work - Essay Example â€Å"If employers don’t act soon, they will fail to win the war for talent, as older adults will be relied upon as one of the most important sources of talent for the future workforce (Jan 2007). The global survey, which included 28,000 employers across 25 countries and territories, found employers in the UK are far ahead of their international counterparts, with higher percentage of respondents, respectively, working proactively to retain their older employees. But in Italy and Spain, only 6% have such strategies in place. In 19 of the 25 countries, retention strategies were more predominant than recruiting strategies for older workers. This may be because many of these countries have government legislation or programs in place to encourage employers to retain older workers (Paula 2007). The aim of this topic is to understand and learn more on the recruitment of old employees and the strategies used. We also review the benefits and challenges associated with having an older workforce in companies. We also discuss aging population and recommend what action organizations should take to ensure they have a ready supply of labor in the future. We are also going to review why age diversity pensions are decreasing in value and on the other people are becoming more likely to still have financial obligations such as mortgages or student support, later in life. We are also going to go through what employers will need to consider how they can best become an employer of choice for older workers and how they can retain older workers in an increasingly competitive market place.     For some organizations this will mean a significant culture change.   Consider that 25-34 is the current favorite recruitment age of employers and The Employers Forum on Age has estimated that ag eism costs the United Kingdom economy over  £26bn each year.   This article  will help you to explore the issues that affect your capacity to be an age positive employer and

Jet aircrafts, atomic weapons, radars, rockets, submarines, tanks and torpedo bombers are the examples of the inventions made during the WWII. Despite the estimated period mentioned on when the war started, many of historians have not reached into an agreement on the exact date of its initiation. However, the commonest of the dates used to signify the beginning of the war is 1939, when Germany attacked Poland triggering the French and British announcements of their entry to the war about two days afterwards. Various conflicts were reported from 1939 onwards until 1941 when the war was now a global affair. The war continued with various attacks being witnessed until 1944. 1944 was termed as ‘the beginning of the end.’ On 6th June of 1944 the Allies from the Western side attacked Normandy a German held warfront. The British 6th, USA’s 82nd and 101st and the paratroopers from Canada spearheaded this. Allies, however, suffered a big number of deaths. Artillery batteries of Germany pounded the beaches. Hedgerows helped the units of Germany by offering vantage points for the location of MG 42. Tankers had difficulties, though, due to the hedgerow lanes’ narrow causeways. They couldn’t rotate their turrets. Months afterwards, the Allies measured their progress in long yards as well as deadly rifle fights in Bocage. The forces of Germany were almost totally brought down in France while making a counter-attack. In the beginning of the year 1944, the Red Army, which was the Soviet military representation, was at the Polish border and as well lifted the siege of Leningrad. Come

General Motors Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words - 2

General Motors - Research Paper Example companies trailed voluntary petitions for assistance under Title 11 of the United States of Bankruptcy code as per Chapter 11 reorganization (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2010). In this scenario GM, had filed a motion to gain approval by the Bankruptcy court, which led to the creation of NGMCO, Inc. However, after the purchase of â€Å"Old GM† by NGMCO, it was again renamed as General Motor Company. This evolution of new operations advocated in favor of the fact that the bankruptcy conversion was guided by the concept of â€Å"pre-packaged† Chapter 11 reorganization (Stoll & Terlep, 2009). GM’s filing for bankruptcy in 2009 indeed marked one of the darkest falls in the automobile history. Although the turn of events that led to GM’s bankruptcy had been predictive, critics were of the view that the sole reasons for the automobile giant’s fall was hidden in its managerial faults as well as sudden upsurge of the global economic downturn. As mentioned in The Economists (2009), â€Å"The collapse of General Motors into bankruptcy is only the latest chapter in a long story of mismanagement and decline†. According to the reports, there were various reasons behind the bankruptcy of GM. One of the major reasons of the bankruptcy was argued to be its mismanagement of finances and poor liquidity structure. Critics also argued that ineffective forecast of the external business environment affected the efficiency of the company in the global market, where its stagnancy in brand exposure also hampered its long run sustainability. In addition, the company also failed in taking requisite measures to file for bankruptcy, which affected its stakeholders’ interests to a substantial extent (Carty, 2009). Most effective course of action to solve the problem. As can be observed from the above context, the primary problem inherent to GM’s failure was related to its managerial deficiencies. In this regard, application of the cognitive theory could have been

Air pollution in China Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1000 words

Air pollution in China - Essay Example country claiming that the country would continue to grow its economy relying on the energy inefficient industries and using the polluting agents (Feng, 1999). However, the studies claim that the cost of pollution would oppose the development a feature that has begun stagnating development endeavors in the country as the discussion below portrays. The introductory paragraph above states that pollution is costly and deters infrastructural development and economic growth in the country. China’s economy has grown within the last few years owing to the rapid industrialization of the country. China is among the largest consumers of fossil fuels in the world with most of the industries in the country running on petroleum products. While industrialization has fostered the economic growth of the country, such endeavors have contributed to different forms of pollution thus culminating in the current state of affairs. Currently, the rate of pollution has reached the highest level deterring visibility owing to fog. Such high levels of pollution have begun affect the country’s economic growth by making the country, a country that was once the leading global investment destination, lose on foreign investors most of who site the health implications of the intense pollution. Industries in China are the leading pollutants. The country has millions of industries that run of fossil fuels thereby emitting large amounts of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide among other poisonous gases. Cities in the northern parts of the country are more polluted than in any other parts of the country owing to high number of industries in such regions. China for example is the leading exporter of steal globally (Innes & Hassan, 2000). Steel and cement industries are among the companies located in the northern parts of the country. Cement and steel industries in the country contribute to pollution owing to the large-scale evacuation processes they carry out coupled with an equally large-scale

Congestive Heart Failure Case Study Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

Congestive Heart Failure - Case Study Example The heart failure is divided into systolic dysfunction and diastolic dysfunction. The ejection fraction, the fraction of blood that is pumped out by the contracting heart at the time of systole, determines the type of heart failure an individual is suffering from. Congestive heart failure is characterized by shortness of breath which increases from exertion. Other symptoms include peripheral edema which is caused by fluid retention in the legs. As in the case-study, CHF is associated with hypertension, which is one of the causes for heart failure caused by excessive stretching of the heart muscles. Apart from the clinical presentation of dyspnea, the patient also has 8 pound weight gain, which points out to another etiological factor of obesity which results in the causation of CHF. With the increase in weight, the workload of heart increases and hence the heart muscles weaken leading to CHF. It can also be a factor in exacerbation of CHF (Roberts 2009). The patient also complains of chest pain and is prescribed nitroglycerine ointment, Darvocet and Ibuprofen for her chest pain. Angina pectoris is described as chest pain caused by ischemia of the myocardium. The angina pectoris is associated with several risk factors which include family history, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, old age and hyperlipidemia. As evident from the patient’s history, she has associated complaints of hypertension and also an increased amount of weight for which she is being given a lipid lowering agent, Zocar 50mg once a day. The pain or discomfort is experienced retrosternal which extends to the shoulders, arms and jaws as well. The triggering factors might include emotional stress, exertion, post-meal or excessive cold (Griffin & Topol 2009). Hypertension is another complaint and she is being given Minipres and Calan once a day for lowering her blood pressure. Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for heart failure and is defined as a systolic and diastolic blood pres sure of 140/90 or greater than that. A complete history about patient’s lifestyle and daily habits will help in evaluating the etiology of hypertension (Toth & Cannon 2010). Atrial fibrillation is the fourth pathology evident from the patient’s case study. It results in tachyarrhythmia which presents as palpitations, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Less commonly the patients will manifest with chest pain or pulmonary edema. Its association with congestive heart failure, advanced age and hypertension can be explained by the reduced atrial contractions which result in atrial myolysis and defective calcium channels leading to abnormal sympathetic innervations at a cellular level (Griffin & Topol 2009). Digoxin is the most widely used cardiac glycoside for the treatment of heart failure. It promotes heart contractility and also regulates the calcium concentrations in the cytosol. With the action of Digoxin, the heart pumps blood with more force, almost resembling that of the normal heart. However, an important adverse effect includes hypokalemia which may lead to digitalis toxicity. Therefore, the patients are also prescribed potassium supplementation along with digoxin. Furosemide is a loop diuretic which increases the urine output and hence reduces the excessive water

Integral part of British culture Essay Example for Free

Integral part of British culture Essay Soaps are contemporary, which means they are written in the same rime that they are being acted. Some viewers develop whats called social critism or social commentary, when as I mentioned before, viewers get lost in the plots and get carried away with their feelings. You sometimes hear about people trying to kill characters that they dont like. I just think how pathetic they are that they cant differenciate between a soap opera and reality. Political bias is another issue, which tends to sway the minds of viewers. This happens when a character is portrayed to have a specific political view on a matter. For example if a character is strongly against the Labour Party, their views may rub off on to the public, and then the public assume that that is their real belief. Really the actors/actresses are shoved a script to learn. They dont mess about and argue with the script writers just because their views differ to their characters. Many potentially controversial issues are embarked upon in soaps. For example, when the first lesbian kiss was screened on Brookside a few years ago everyone was horrified. On the otherhand, it encouraged real life lesbian couples to go public, not being ashamed of their sexuality. Soap operas are a form of voyeurism which means you can enjoy watching without participating, which is just up some peoples street. Its nice to come in from school, make a cuppa and be entertained by people for half an hour, from a distance, without having to participate. Some people believe soaps are anti-depressants. This is true when you are experiencing serious problems in your life. It is comforting when you switch on the tv and find a character with a much worse problem than yours. It puts everything into perspective, and demonstrates that it is quite possible to overcome such problems. Soap operas prove to be relief from everyday pressures, albeit temporary. This is especially true for me. My artistic merit is Neighbours. Sometimes I cant wait till 5. 35pm, because I know that I can relax during the twenty five minutes it is on. Soaps are very informative about occupations. You get to know what a characters job involves and requires. For example, Joe Scully is a builder in Neighbours, Paddy is a vet in Emmerdale and Karl Kennedy, a doctor in Neighbours. All these characters provide good insights into these careers, which may help you to choose which job suits you. Soaps allow you to study lifestyles. This is especially useful for sociology and psychology students who are required to research different lifestyles and the way they affect our personalities. Using these studies they can compare the lifestyles of regions or countries, and how they differ. Soaps are used as message propaganda. This is when truths or quotes are twisted and end up only half true. Journalists use this technique. Since video recorders developed, soaps have given them a revolution. Before technology developed viewers who were unable to watch an episode simply missed it. Now, it is popular to record programmes when you are out, or viewing on another channel. This revolution has increased the viewing figures by thousands. Producers of soap operas have many promotion techniques. Some of these include advertising, omnibus episodes, special length episodes with exciting content, ie, a birth or a wedding. All of these attract the viewer and send the ratings rocketing. There are two types of soaps: Imported and home grown. Imported is self-explanatory-the soap is imported from other countries to our screens, Home and Away and Neighbours are examples. Home grown is the screening of soaps from their own country. Wealth and power V class consciousness is an issue in soaps. An example of wealth and power is Mike Bawldin in Coronation Street. He is portrayed as a filthy rich business man. On the otherhand the employees that work for him in his factory are examples of class consciousness. They are of the working class. In my opinion this is wrong because it demonstrates that people of different classes should be treated differently, when really people should be treated with the same amount of respect. Soaps are a form of escapism, as viewers can escape from the real world to the soap world. Soaps provide a vicarious experience, which means that the viewers experience the soap at second hand. The cast experience at first hand. Soap opera producers use romanticism to enchance love affairs, to give the viewer a rose-tinted image of the issue. Usually the characters chosen to have love affairs are beautiful, psycially desirable people. We all know that in the real world this stereotypical image is not always true to life. Soap operas move with the times in all aspects such as decor and design in houses and settings, up to the minute technology, lifestyles and relationships, entertainment and the cultural scene (mores), eg drugs, alcohol abuse. This can have a powerful impact on the viewers who will emulate a particular home or lifestyle. Overall, I think soap operas are enjoyable and fulfilling, but if watched over prolongued periods of time can lead to unhealthy addiction.

Joint Venture in the Construction Industry in Spain

Joint Venture in the Construction Industry in Spain An estimated 20,000 joint ventures have been formed worlwide over the past two years. Such strategic alliances can provide business owners with long-term security, new revenue channels, and , often, the anchor needed to maintain stability in otherwise turbulent waters. A successful joint venture can open the door to a wold of future partnership opportunities (Robert L.Wallace 2004) Factors now at play in our economy make it more feasible and more critical than ever for small business owners to leverage the power of joint venturing. These factors include: The emergence of the customer economy Advances in technology that have neutralized time and space contraints Change brougt on by shifting demographics More entrepreneur- and more oportunities- as a result of downsizing In the midst of these world-changing trends, what is often missing from a succesffull business strategy are the critical alliances and strategic partnerships that will help leverage the strenghts and minimise weaknesses. Forging joint ventures and strategic alliances will allow business to win millions contracts as the partner with large companies to offer with, breadth, and depth demanded in the marketplace. Done well, joint ventures provide both participating businesses with a chance to learn and benefit from each other, and to achieve results neither could achive alone.

Today business grow through alliances- all kinds of dangerous alliance, joint ventures, and customer partnerign, which by the way, very few people understandà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬? (Peter F.Drucker 2007) Experiences of joint venture management in the construction industry traced back to the early 60 ´s. It appears that characteristics of this industry favor the proposition of joint ventures formation. Although statistics are not available, this is obviously true in relation to the infrastructure development of Spain at the present moment The determination of the . 1.1 Objectives of Dissertation This paper attempts to review the existing literatures on management of joint ventures its merits and problems, particular issues arisen and suggested management techniques to cope with such obstacles in operating a joint venture. Interviews were conducted with two senior staffs of one of the partners of a joint venture formed by four construction firms. The joint venture is currently undertaking one of the Train Station Core Projects to be completed before July 2011. It is hoped that hand-on experiences of these senior staffs, at the level of Management Committee of the joint venture, as well as the operational level of the joint venture, would provide us valuable insight and opinion on the art of joint venture management, as a reflection and complement to the general review of the literatures. The key objectives are: To critically appraise the existing literature to Corporative alliances issues and the role of International Strategy in applying these issues. To establish the importance Strategic alliances with competitors in the international market. To evaluate the purposes of strategic alliances as well as to what extent might be successful a company. To determine other factors that influences companies in seeking Joint Ventures. To assess the sources of value creation. To study possible pitfalls in doing a Strategic Alliance. To draw conclusions upon a joint venture in a case study. 1.2 Contents In Chapter 2, the organization of interest is described in detail along with an explanation of its forms. In Chapter 3 the literature in relation to joint venture and strategic alliances in general and its application within the company is critically reviewed. Chapter 4 describes and justifies the research methods employed and includes a section on the ethical considerations of the project. In Chapter 5 the findings of the one-to-one interviews, In Chapter 6 the findings are analyzed and evaluated in relation to the published research literature. In Chapter 7 a joint venture framework for the SMART Services is presented along with a plan for its implementation. Finally, in Chapter 8 conclusions are drawn and recommendations are made for future work. A list of references is provided and the appendices contain pertinent information, documents (including, the survey questionnaire) and collated data. Chapter Two Joint Venture Explained 2. Joint Venture Explained A joint venture is the coming together of two (or more) independent business for the sole purpose of achieving a specific outcome that would not have been achievable by one of the firms alone. (Source: Wallace 2004) 2.1 The Rationale of Joint Venture Formation The form of joint venture provides benefits and a skeleton, based on which the management philosophy of the joint venture builds up. . (See Figure 1) Figure 1: Joint Venture. Business Benefit Source: Trendsetter Barometer, PWC In respect of share of management, there are dominant parent ventures, share management ventures and independent ventures. Degree of involvement of parents in these types of joint ventures differs, and in turn these joint ventures face different types of nature and management problems. At operational level, there are approaches of integrated structure and non-integrated structure. The nature of the business and the share of responsibilities in various aspects of the business will be the determination factors of choice Generally speaking, the choice of form of joint venture should be made in accordance to what contributions are required of the parents in order to achieve the purpose of forming the joint venture. Companies forming joint ventures basically intend to develop markets and products. Common reasons are: to suit government policies, pooling resources, risk sharing, building business relation and to reduce competition. The first step to form a joint venture, after realizing that such tactics is desirable, is to select a partner. Consideration on selection of partners concentrates on three major themes: shared objectives, mutual trust and co-operation, and abilities of the potential partners. Appropriate partners should be compatible in their objectives of forming the joint venture and their expertise/Knowledge on the business. Right partners also should possess similar management styles normally. Lastly it is important that potential partnerà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s real intention is realizes, to avoid future major disagreements. 2.2 Joint Venture Formation When the partners have reached initial agreement to form a joint venture, often a preliminary agreement is signed. It forms a basis for the drafting of the detailed agreement, and provide framework for the partners to work together and proceed to more detailed planning works. But subsequent negotiations following for the preliminary agreement often provide good chances for the partners to understand more thoroughly the expectation of potential partners. It is not uncommon that a final agreement cannot be reached because major conflicts are revealed in the process of subsequent negotiations after preliminary agreement. It is always intended to write agreements to cover all contingencies. But some managers consider that it is not so practically possible in view of the rapidly changing environments nowadays. Instead, emphasis should be placed on building up mutual trust and thus it is important to incorporate a sense of fairness into the joint venture agreement. Generally defined, well understood mutually, and respectful to each other ´s rights in return to their contributions committed. It is suggested that the best solutions should be an agreement covering all possible contingencies, together with the design of a flexible mechanism allowing changes to be agreed between efficiently while promoting cooperation and mutual trust. A very important aspect in drafting the joint venture agreement is the design of reward system for the partners. Pay-off in the form of product flow between the parents and the joint venture is often the source of major management problems and conflicts. Such product flow diverts attention of the parents from the joint venture ´s benefits. Again, fairness and willingness to co-operate are the keys to resolving such problems. If at all possible, market comparison is a useful guide to fix the transfer price in a fair sense. The primary concern of a partner in forming a joint venture is probably the degree of control over the business. In respect of split of ownership, majority-minority shares are sometimes preferred, as the majority of partner can act as leader for the joint venture and thus gives direction in a less ambiguous manner for the operation of the joint venture. On the other hand, come companies prefer equal shares to ensure willingness of all partners to contribute efforts as required and they may also feel more comfortable that all partners have equal statusà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬? in the joint venture. Ownership distribution is less important than how operation control is actually apportioned. There is no rule on thumb on allocating operation control. General guidelines are that each parent should be motivated to make necessary commitments continuously in accordance to their abilities, and that each parent should be protected in its interests. To enhance long term co-operation, exploitation of other partner ´s interests must not be attempted. It must be emphasized that full equality in operating control requires much more efforts from all partner, and the joint venture would have to be operated in day-to-day on-going negotiations and compromise among the partners. 2.3 Management and Implementation Standard joint venture organization consist of two components the management board and operation organization. The management board is the highest authority of the joint venture. The composition of the board and jurisdiction of the board determine largely the share of power among the partners. To build an effective board, board members should be delegated enough and necessary authority by their own companies in making decisions and vote in the board. They should endeavor to maintain mutual trusts among the partners, to sustain the common goal and objectives of the partners and to the exercise effective control over the joint venture. This is better to clearly separate the operation organization independently from the management board, to avoid biases or perceived biases towards one particular partner. As mentioned earlier, staffing is a possible and often effective way of controlling the joint venture operations. But overact may generate resentment from other partners. It will be extremely difficult to build up cohesiveness of the operation organization from all the partners. The organization will possibly segregate into groups of their own companies. Theoretically, secondly is desirable only if considered necessary for the needs of the joint venture. Otherwise recruitment from outside can more easily maintain the independence of the operation organization. The joint venture manager is an important role, as the leader for the operation organization, the bridge between the child and the parents, and sometimes as the mediatorà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬? for the parents if disputes arose among them. He has to possess negotiation skills, people skills, and selling skills to bring together mutual co-operation form all parties concerned. He is often found to be involved in ambiguous relationship, with his sub-ordinates and supervisors, and wit the parent companies. In order to achieve his task of pleasing everybody and avoiding conflicts and tension between the parties concerned, he has to be highly tolerant and ambiguity. The joint venture manager should be loyal only to the joint venture, not to any of the parents. He has to be perceived as neutral, otherwise his opinions will never be convincing to other people. Biased loyalty of the joint venture manager will arouse other parents taking harmful measure against smooth operations of the joint venture. Being neutral is an important qualification of the joint venture manager in order to gain autonomy and trust, which in turn makes the joint venture more likely to succeed. The joint venture agreement implied an independent operation organization separated from the parents to be fully responsible for daily management of the business and that the operation organization enjoyed a high degree of autonomy. In practice, the independence and autonomy were granted to the operation organization, only if all parents, in particular the joint venture manager, will act truly neutral. Without such belief, parents were able to exercise disruptive negative measures to hinder the normal implementation of management for the joint venture operations. The case also supported that the quality if the joint venture manager in negotiation skills and human relations, and its relationship with the parents was a paramount importance of the success of the joint venture. A strong leader might be harmful for a joint venture, but a practical and flexible manager surely is very useful. Chapter Three Literature Review 3.1 Forms of Joint Venture 3.3.1 Share of management The fundamental question in management of joint ventures is the degree of involvement of partners in decision making processes on major policies as well as day-to-day operations of the joint ventures. In this respect, joint ventures are often categorized into three types: (Stephen I. Glover and Craig M. Wasserman 2003) Dominant parent ventures: in which management decisions are dominated by one parent, either formally by majority voting rights in all major aspects or informally by management settings to control key decisions makings without significant involvement from the other party. Shared management ventures: in which management of joint venture operations are shared between the parents, either shared by each providing resources in certain functional areas or shared by pooling resources at most levels of the joint venture operations. Characteristics of this type of joint venture are the necessity of frequent negotiation and agreement between the partners at most all levels and aspects of the business management. Independent ventures: in which parent ´s involvements in the management of the joint venture is very little, as it is left almost entirely to an independent group of personnel employed under the joint venture. The roles of parents are not too much different from shareholders, except that they may be providing other distinct types of resources as well as capital and there are only a few shareholders. Dominant parent ventures and independent ventures are thought to be more trouble free, as they require less interaction and thus less potential conflicts between the parents. However, there are no concrete evidence to suggest that these two types of ventures will be more likely to succeed than shared management ventures. Obviously the choice of joint ventures types is dependent on the situation and nature of the business and the parentà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s  ´characteristics. Circumstances often call for shared management but no other choices, simply because joint efforts are required to achieve what is intended. Pooling of resources, and thus a mixed input of management efforts from both parents, may be the fundamental desire of forming the joint venture. In such cases, dominance of one parent certainly cannot fulfil the purpose of the strategic alliance and the question is to overcome the difficulties of shared management on joint ventures operations. Legal Form In terms of the legal form of the joint venture, there can be three choices: (Dennis Campbell and Antonida Netzer 2009) Consortium: it refers to a grouping, formed on a one-off basis, which is governed by a contractual agreement. The contractual agreement is made to define clearly the position of each of the parents, including a specification of the authority, responsibility, liability and power of each party. Parnership: it can take a form of formal partnership. The parties are then effectively recognised in law as partners. The joint venture is considered as a business entity on its own, in legal terms, separated from the individual parties. As partners, each of the parties is legally liable for any debt or default committed by other partners on behalf of the joint venture, which may not be the case if formed as a consortium depending on details of the contractual agreement of constituting the consortium. Incorpotation: joint ventures which are intended to be a permanent business are usually constituted as an incorporate entity. This would enable the parties being insulated from the risks of the business of the joint venture, as a limited company. The major disadvantage is that the profit and loss sustained by the joint venture as incorporation cannot be set off against that of the parent companies for tax purpose. 3.1.3 Operational Structure The two extreme categories of operational structure of a joint venture are integrated joint venture and non integrated joint venture (Dennis Campbell and Antonida Netzer 2009) Integrated Structure: the parties agree on a certain proportion of capital and resources investment and a prescribed profit or loss sharing formula, and they both participate on every level of execution of the joint venture business. Non-integrated Structure: in such case, the joint venture usually provides for general management machinery, which looks after overall administrative and coordinative roles for the joint venture business. The whole business is then divided into packages or portions which are assigned to the parents to execute and operate such packages or portions as designated in the joint venture agreement (Appendix A) In practice joint ventures are usually a mixture of these two approaches. The question is the degree of integration to be adopted for the given set of circumstances faced by the joint venture. For that joint venture business that can be divided into clear cut portions and such divided portions will suit the capability and resources of different partners, non-integrated approach will usually be adopted. While the joint venture business is complex and it requires a centralised management of all aspects of the business, the management will be integrated. Integrated approach is more difficult to manage. Conflicting interests and ideas between the partners can arise more often than non-integrated approach. But it is often unavoidable as the nature of the joint venture business mar not is possible to be divided neatly into portions. On the other hand, for non-integrated approach, complicated contractual argument can arise between partners. In case of joint venture agreement in a basis of joint and several responsibilities, it is not uncommon that the partners lodge contractual claims against each other on non-performance or default of the other parties in executing their portion of the joint venture business resulting loss to the whole joint venture from third party claims. The Case Study The parents attempted to adopt a mixture of shared and independent management for the joint venture under study, as implied in the conditions of the joint venture agreement. The management committee of the joint venture, which was the highest level of decision making and policy setting, were composed of one representative each partner. In respect of operational structure, a mixture of integrated and non-integrated approach was adopted. While a separate joint venture organization supposedly independent from the partners managed and operated the whole joint venture business integrally, the project was divided into portions and packages which were then subcontracted back to the partners under the joint venture 3.2 Motives of forming a Joint Venture Companies forming joint ventures basically intended to develop markets and products i.e. to strength the firmsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ existing business, to take the firms existing products to new market, to obtain new products that can be sold in the firm ´s existing markets, and to diversify into new businesses (Mark de Rond 2003) These objectives can be achieved through various ways, as shown in figure 1.1 But why choose a joint venture to try to achieve these objectives? Common reasons are: (Das y Teng 2000) Government Policies: because of licensing requirements of the government for undertaking a certain type of business in a country, e.g. for construction works in Spain many foreign companies may wish to form joint ventures with local companies who have the required licenses at hand in order to enter the market first, while they at the same time apply for the necessary licenses which may take months or even years in some cases. Many governments, who attempt to protect the development of certain industry of their countries, establish regulations that prohibit foreign companies to set up wholly owned subsidiaries. If foreign companies wish to explore the market of those countries, they have no choice to form joint ventures with local companies. Risk Sharing: in very large and risky projects that companies feel uncomfortable to bear but unwilling to give up the business opportunity, several companies share the risk by undertaking the project jointly. These risk may be commercial risks (finance, source of materials, technical uncertainties, etc) or political risks (change un government policies, unstable political status of the country, etc) Figure 1: Motives for joint venture formation New Markets Existing Makets To Take Existing Products To Foreign Markets Open Markets Closed Markets To Diversify into New Business Learning from your partner Learning with your partner To Strengthen the Existing Business Achieving economies of scale Acquiring technology Reducing financial risk To Bring Foreign Products To Local Markets Marketing and distribution Screwdriver assembly Developing local technology Technology flow back to parent Existing Products New Products Source: (Das y Teng 2000) Pooling of resources: companies often join to develop business that requires a combination of different resources (finance, technology, market access, local experience, etc) that none of these companies possess all of them, e.g. a combination of market access by one company and technical knowledge of a product by another, combination of different technical skills that are necessary to develop a product, or a combination of several companies à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹Å"resources to achieve economies of scale. Building business relation: some companies form joint ventures with in order to build up wide business relations among the industry. They believe that this will enable them to widen their networks of business and that it may be helpful for their further business developments in long term. Reduce competition: joining with your competitor automatically reduce the degree of competition. This is particularly useful if there are only a few potential competitors only. It is not uncommon to find in certain industry that formations of joint ventures effectively create monopolistic or oligopolistic conditions. The Case Study In the construction industry inherent risks involved in the projects are the major concern of a company ´s business strategy. Sharing of commercial risks (financial burdens on the company, source of raw materials, technical uncertainty involved with the works) for large scaled projects is the major reason of forming joint ventures. Because of the huge amount of resources involved and the multi-disciplinary nature of the projects, pooling if resources from several companies is necessary to gain sufficient competence in order to tender for the works. Not a single company may have all the necessary skills and sufficient amount of resources that are required for those Train Station Core Projects. Formations of joint ventures become the most common tactics for the construction firms to undertake those projects. Political risk is also a major concern especially for foreign firms who are not familiar with the policies. Most foreign firms conceive that formation of joint ventures is an effective way of securing the safety of the business, particularly when undertaking infrastructure development projects of payment terms. Large construction firms (both local and international firms that were interested and had potential to undertake these large projects) gradually formed into groups of consortium to tender for these jobs. As a result, the industry transformed into competing allied groups, instead of competing among individual firms. Although such transformation might be unintentional at the time these companies first formed joint ventures, they now became aware of such advantage and might use this again as one of the useful tools in future when considering the companyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s strategy competitions in the industry. 3.3 Selection of Partners 3.3.1The Criteria of Choosing a Partner Considerations on selection of partners concentrate on three majors themes: (Lynn Krieger 1991) Shared objectives Mutual trust and willingness to co-operate and Having necessary skills/resources The task is to find a compatible partner in respect of these three major themes. The right pair or group of partners often implies an asymmetry of partners, i.e. the right partners often have different quality and characteristics so that they will complement with each others on the need of the business. Basic consideration is whether the potential partner can provide what you need and the confidence of the potential partner ´s willingness to co-operate. They may not have the same objective but their co-operation should fulfill each other ´s objectives. They may not have the expertise on the same area, and they should possess different knowledge so that when combined together their competence will be strengthened. In fact two partners having expertise on the same area often is the source of conflicts as both will consider their own approach is superior without due respect on the other partner ´s expertise on the field. But right partners should desirably have similar management styles and outlooks so that their overall business strategy would go along the same direction. Otherwise, conflict on major business policy that is originated from the incompatibility of the partners expectation on what the joint venture should achieve eventually arise someday Lyn Krieger put forward two prepositions: The more similar the culture of firms forming a shared management joint venture, the easier the venture will be to manage. The more similar in size are the parents of a shared management venture, the easier the venture will be to manage. A significant size mismatch between a venture ´s parents can create a lot of problems for the venture. Culture here refers to both corporate culture and the culture of the country from which the firms are based. These propositions are based on the principle that managers, to be effectively working together, need to be able to evaluate each other ´s judgment and the way of working before they can build up a cohesive team. The second proposition is an extension of the first one as size of the company can contribute to difference in corporate culture. One should also be alert on any hidden agenda of your potential partner (Kathryn Rudie 2003). Confidence on the observation of your potential partner ´s real intention and objective to form the joint venture is a pre-requisite condition before a decision can be made on the choice of partners. The classic tragic case of Beijing Jeep is a good example of hidden agenda. Both partners did not spell out clearly their real intention of what was to be achieved, and both partners did not understand thoroughly the other partner ´s real intention before signing the joint venture agreement. Unreasonable conflicts arose not long after formation of the joint venture, when both parties realized that they were expecting something beyond the wishes of the other party. The tragedy ought to be avoidable if both parties made clear of their expectations before signing on the joint venture agreement. 3.3.2 The Process Selection It is suggested that a step-by-step approach should be adopted to develop relationship with potential partners (Kathryn Rudie 2003): Prepare a checklist desirable quality of the partner Searching out for potential partners based on the checklist Prepare proposals and issues to study and negotiate with the potential partner If possible, try out a joint venture of small scale before committing long term and large scaled joint venture business Theatrically, this process enables the partners to develop faith and mutual trust and allows better mutual understanding before placing large financial stakes on joint ventures with unfamiliar partners. Obviously, this takes a long time and in practice the ever changing business environment often does not wait for such long process of partner selection. Business opportunities simply slip away before the good partner relationship can evolve in this way. In real life, it is often founded that good joint venture partner relationship is assumed at the time of signing the joint venture agreement, and the assumption is often based on personal relationship between the CEOs of the companies. The Case Study Major consideration in selection of partners was what resources the partner could bring in to supplement his shortages and strengthen the competence of the company to successfully tender for the job. Reputation and track record in the international construction industry was the first item to check on, particularly as the potential partner was new-comers to Spain. It was admitted that the other partnerà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s intention of choosing the company was not fully known at the time of forming the joint venture. At that time, it was only understood that the company was chosen by other partners because of its local experiences in Spain and the feeling of political security that the firm could provide as a whole owned company. It was now gradually revealed that

Taking the First Step On January 27, 1998, in his State of the Union Address, President Clinton proposed an idea that would immediately spawn a national debate. The goal that President Clinton sought was to reduce class size in grades 1-3, nationwide, to an average of 18 students per class. The president’s plan was to provide enough funds to school districts so that an additional 100,000 teachers could be hired. Throughout the rest of his proposal President Clinton covered every other questionable aspect of this plan. Realizing that new schools and classrooms would have to be built, President Clinton called for a school construction tax cut (Clinton 1998). President Clinton was very adamant about his proposition. However, there were, and still are, those that cannot and will not look past the money issue. Building new buildings and hiring new teachers, among many other changes to be made, will be extremely costly. Many critics have asked why the President’s proposed money cannot be spent on programs to better the school systems, rather than on completely rebuilding them. Case Studies Many studies have been conducted in school districts throughout the country, all of which have experimented with different class size reduction (CSR) techniques to determine whether or not President Clinton’s goal can be achieved. According to the April Press Release of the 2001 Legislative Session for the state of Maryland, the General Assembly, along with Governors Parris N. Glendening and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, have instituted a record amount of investment projects dealing with education. Among those passed by the General Assembly is an Early Childhood Education initiative in which $19 million will be used to lower class sizes, create all-day Kindergartens, and buy new library and other support materials. This will help to raise standardized test scores later on. In addition, an extra $11 million will be spent on various new Pre-K programs. In 2000, the state of California created a Federal Class Size Reduction Program. The chart/road map that was produced investigated the steps that had to be followed in order to ensure that funds were being used properly, and that all classes, in grades K-3, were reduced. Long before President Clinton’s proposal, states were exploring ways to decrease class sizes. In fact, between the years 1985 and 1989, Tennessee conducted their famous PROJECT STAR (Student/Teacher Achievement Ratio). The study split the K-3 classes into three different class types: small classes, (containing only 13-17 children per teacher), regular classes (containing 22-25 students per teacher), and regular classes with a teacher’s aide who was in the classroom full time.

Comparing the Role of the Ghost in Morrisons Beloved and Kingstons No

The Symbolic Role of the Ghost in Morrison's Beloved and Kingston's No Name Woman The eponymous ghosts which haunt Toni Morrison's Beloved and Maxine Hong Kingston's "No Name Woman" (excerpted from The Woman Warrior) embody the consequence of transgressing societal boundaries through adultery and murder. While the wider thematic concerns of both books differ, however both authors use the ghost figure to represent a repressed historical past that is awakened in their narrative retelling of the stories. The ghosts facilitate this retelling of stories that give voice to that which has been silenced, challenging this repression and ultimately reversing it. The patriarchal repression of Chinese women is illustrated by Kingston's story of No Name Woman, whose adulterous pregnancy is punished when the villagers raid the family home. Cast out by her humiliated family, she births the baby and then drowns herself and her child. Her family exile her from memory by acting as if "she had never been born" (3) -- indeed, when the narrator's mother tells the story, she prefaces it with a strict injunction to secrecy so as not to upset the narrator's father, who "denies her" (3). By denying No Name Woman a name and place in history, leaving her "forever hungry," (16) the patriarchy exerts the ultimate repression in its attempt to banish the transgressor from history. Yet her ghost continues to exist in a liminal space, remaining on the fringes of memory as a cautionary tale passed down by women, but is denied full existence by the men who "do not want to hear her name" (15). Kingston's narrator tackles this repression when she sympathetically frames No Name Woman's story as one of subjugation, pointing out that "women in the old Ch... ... "The Woman Warrior as a Search for Ghosts", Sato examines Kingston's symbolic use of the ghost figure as a means of approaching the dramatic structure of the text and appreciating its thematic search for identity amidst an often-paradoxical bicultural setting. Sonser makes this argument through a comparison of Beloved with Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. Her essay, "The Ghost in the Machine: Beloved and The Scarlet Letter", draws strong parallels between the two female protagonists, Sethe and Hester, who challenge the oppressive frameworks of their societies. Despite the ideological incongruity of Hawthorne's patriarchal Puritanism and Morrison's racist slavery, Sonser still finds a shared thematic "intersection of subjectivity and social power" (17) that resonates in the stories of two women's attempts at self-definition from the margins of society.

U.S., Kuwait ask why bombing went terribly wrong WASHINGTON-- A team of Kuwaiti and U.S. investigators sorted through evidence on Tuesday trying to learn how and why a U.S. Navy jet dropped a 500-pound bomb near observers at a training range, killing six of them. The F/A-18 Hornet was taking part in a twice-yearly training flight on Monday when the accident happened. The training flights have been a regularly scheduled part of the Persian Gulf area military experience for 10 years -- since a multinational force repelled an Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and pledged to keep the tiny oil-rich nation safe in the aftermath. But on Monday, something went wrong. A Navy pilot practicing "close air support" for ground troops suddenly dropped live ordnance near an observation area, according to the U.S. Central Command. The blast killed five Americans and a New Zealander, 27-year-old acting Maj. John McNutt. The names of the five Americans killed have not been released. Five other Americans and two Kuwaitis were injured. Two of the injured have already been released, and some of the injured Americans were evacuated to a U.S. airbase in Germany. Central Command appointed an investigation board to arrive later this week in Kuwait, where U.S. and Kuwaiti officials were already trying to learn whether the error that led to the accident came about in the air -- the pilot's mistake -- or somewhere on the ground, either from faulty direction for air traffic controllers or a tragic miscommunication that put the observers in the line of fire. "We will work hard to take care of the families involved, and to find out how such an accident could occur," U.S. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said in a statement. 'It shouldn't happen' Meanwhile, New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark pressed for answers into the death of her country's soldier. "We don't, in the normal course of events, expect to have people come home in body bags," she said. "It's a terrible tragedy and ... we are now looking for an urgent, detailed explanation as to how such a training exercise can go so terribly wrong," said New Zealand Defense Minister Mark Burton. "This was a live bomb basically dropped on observers. It shouldn't happen and we all need to know precisely what went wrong." Kuwaiti defense chief of staff Lt. Gen. Ali al-Muaman apologized for the incident, pledged a thorough investigation, and said that the accident would not stop further joint military exercises in the region. U.S. President George W. Bush, speaking in Florida, also offered condolences and led a moment of silence before a speech promoting his tax cut. Second Navy accident in a month

Affirmative Action: Executive Order 11246

The Webster†s New World Dictionary defines affirmative action as â€Å"a policy or program for correcting the effects of discrimination in the employment or education of members of certain groups. † President Lyndon Johnson issued executive Order 11246. This required federal contractors to take â€Å"affirmative action† to increase the number of minorities that they employed. President Johnson†s order he put in place has since been twisted and turned around to what it is today. Such twists and turns include the hiring of unqualified workers, the causing of problems for groups it originally set out to help, and the reverse discrimination that results in unfair standards into higher education and the work force. Affirmative action creates an equal opportunity for people in the work force and for students seeking higher education. However, while affirmative action creates equal opportunity to for some individuals, it discriminates against others, primarily white males. Take for example some police forces. If a member of a minority group is hired over a more qualified person and they are forced to be in a situation they cannot handle then that is a major problem of affirmative action. Therefore, affirmative action uses reverse discrimination to solve the problem of discrimination. In â€Å"Assessing Affirmative Action†, an article by Harry Holtzer and David Neumark , says that â€Å"many firms where more likely to hire women and minorities with lesser qualifications, but also to give them remedial training, thus erasing the differences†(Holtzer1). In many cases you see that affirmative action helps most minorities and women but has its obvious drawbacks. In another article by George Gurin, â€Å"Sizing Up Affirmative Action†, he say†s that â€Å"To many colleges and businesses are being almost to open on who they let in and who they don†t only because they are trying too hard†(Gurin3). In my opinion I think that affirmative action is a great thing to have in today†s society, our nations development is credited to many different cultures coming together to form one great one. We will forever have the fight of discrimination, but there is not in my opinion one-way to satisfy everyone. As mentioned earlier affirmative action does hurt some of the people it set out to help. Consider an employer who hires a member of a certain minority group on the basis of skills alone. Many of the employees may automatically assume that the individuals appointment to that job is resulted from affirmative action. Therefore, an employee who does benefit from affirmative action may bear the brand of â€Å"not being the best pick, but the best pick of a limited group(Pasour). † Another part of affirmative action that is commonly brought up is women in the government. In earlier times people wouldn†t even consider having a woman in positions where they would be making decisions for men. In this day they were almost treated like the slaves that they owned. One of the only jobs that women did was to work in factories and low income jobs. Today women hold the top positions in some jobs. Companies are hiring and promoting women the same is they do men. Is this a result of affirmative action? When women were given their rights it was. Today it is easy to see that women are just as qualified as men at what they do. The question of having a woman president is still up for grabs. I think that it will still be a long time before society feels comfortable with a woman controlling their nation. That in it†s self would be another consideration. Would other countries take us seriously and treat us with the same respect they do now. In time affirmative action may be the winner in that a woman president is closer than everyone may think. Another heated issue with affirmative action is the issue of African Americans. America has been a racist country from the start. But as time has passed and people have accepted other races as their own. This was not until recently when people thought like this. In the case of the Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978), a special admission program setting aside 16 places in the medical school class for disadvantaged students, chiefly racial minorities, violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment and title VI of the civil rights act of 1964(Regents2). All in all today†s society is growing towards the acceptance of different races and minorities. And one stepping-stone to that acceptance is the issue of affirmative action.

Discussing the architecture of Michelangelo

pose refers to a while of European graphics that began around 1520 in Italy, and lasted until around 1580 to 1600, when the Baroque style of art and architecture began to replace it, but it did treat in umteen forms until the 17th century. The characteristics of airs include artificial qualities that go against the harmonious, lifelike elements of High Renaissance art, and a extensive deal of sophistication, complexity and innovation in design.Michelangelo was 1 of the superlative practitioners of idiosyncrasy for some(prenominal) reasons. Elegance and innovation be devil of the primary elements of idiosyncrasy, and Michelangelo certainly practiced two those elements in his art. Some of his superlative architectural and artistic endeavors contain these elements, combined with sophistication in the design and execution of the plant life such as the Sistine Chapels ceiling. The paintings on the ceilings afford stood the test of time, and retain their beauty, complex ity and blandness crimson today.In addition, the concept of painting on the ceiling of a wondrous clean of architecture was also one of Michelangelos innovations, illustrating how he actively participated in the Mannerism movement. In architecture, Michelangelo also excelled as a Mannerist. Mannerist architects were no less interested in quaint holyal architecture than were their predecessors, but they imbed other qualities in ancient papist architecture to exploit. In fact, they often displayed an even greater knowledge of antiquity than did primitively artists (Italian Mannerism or Late Renaissnce, 2009).Michelangelos greatest architectural executions, such as the Laurentian depository library in Florence, helped indicate he was a Mannerist by its obvious breaking of many architectural rules of the time, showing not that its elegance, but its novelty and sophistication, as well. Michelangelo uses classic design in his building, but adds a new way of assembling them pass im the design in novel and comical motifs. In the Palazzo Farnese in Rome, Michelangelo used stirred and manufactured views throughout the building, another hallmark of Mannerist buildings. Many architects view Michelangelo as one of the geniuses of the movement.His, Medici Chapel in San Lorenzo was executed, in Vasaris opinion, in a style more change and novel than that of any other master, and thereof all artists are under a great and eternal obligation to Michelangelo, beholding that he broke the fetters and chains that had sooner confined them to the creation of traditional forms (Italian Mannerism or Late Renaissnce, 2009). Michelangelo knew how to push the envelope in design and execution, and was interested in change, rather than copying other styles, which are also elements of the Mannerist style of architecture.His greatest Mannerist achievement is St. Peters Basilica in Rome, a colossal project that took him over 18 age to design, and was not completed before his death. This scenic building was dominated by a huge dome that would have been astounding had it been completed during Michelangelos life. Later changes to the building altered the dome and its effect on the overall building design, but it was one of his greatest achievements, and the innovation and spectacular dimensions of the design helped cement Michelangelo as one of the premier Mannerist architects and artists of the day.Mannerism at last fell out of favor in Europe, and was replaced by other forms of architecture, including the intricate and expound Baroque, which followed Mannerism. It was one of the greatest epics of Italian architecture and design, led by one of the greatest artists of all time, Michelangelo. Works Cited Italian Mannerism or Late Renaissnce.

Berry and Parasuraman (1991) suggested that the advantages of inwrought market execution of instrument in organizations argon as follows (1) To mystify and alimentation handsome talent (2) to provide a communal mountain so that employees acquire crease design and convey (3) to give employees the expertness and association to sue the bat (4) to back up employees to sh be the end points of team up grow (5) to acquire argumentation designs be ground on the findings of merchandising studies.The same intellections demote that unified capital punishment of informal selling sanctions employees to fire servicing quality, which augments the production and gain of the companies. The capital punishment of infixed market in the organizations re dischargents in an inhering redevelopment culture, raises emolument reason and growings kale (Parasuraman et al. , 1985). establish on the views of these scholars, informal market is minute for organizations and make up ones minds impertinent merchandise to push call down customer felicity. consort to the these expositions and base on the views of Rafiq and Ahmed (1993) and Ahmed et al. (2003), this choose case-hardened employee evaluations of reinforcing stimulus systems, privileged communication, and provision and cultivation of companies as mensuration for measuring innate selling of the cordial reception constancy. lead lead refers the process of influencing the team to accomplish the goals (Robbins and Coulter, 2005). lead be tell success reckons of an organization ( mysterious, 1985 Daft, 2002).Skillful leading avow and use the social family sexual intercourseships of the team and intone th e members truth and morale. potent leaders must take heed skills much(prenominal) as patiently manduction information, swear assorteds and recognizing the quantify of interventions (Steckler and Fondas, 1995). In upstart age, many scholars confine move to discuss leaders from new perspectives. sensitive studies of leaders possibleness drop especially express the standards of demands in the midst of leaders and subordinates, the fundamental interaction of somebodyality traits and situational grammatical constituents on leading (Bargal and Schmid, 1989).Corporate leaders must tell apart a appropriate lead check to their subordinates opposite demands for supervision, in enjoin to provoke employee triumph and fulfill judge goals. cryptical and Avolio (1997) split leading into transformational leaders and transactional leaders. In transformational lead, subordinates combining, watch and ar stanch to their leaders. leading digest develop their subordinates electromotive force and bring up their self- combine by ever-changing their look on and beliefs in mark to sum up their organisational trueness, intention and need to shape stupendous outcomes.Transformational leaders wad be shared out into specimen traits, exaltation doings, the boost of inspiration, and the stimulant of apprehension and individual caution. In addition, transactional leaders operator leaders and members remain in the process of dialogue and common benefit sooner of a firm one-purpose race. sound-disposed commuting dead reckoning is do by as the hypothetic base. When subordinates act match to their leaders expectations, they forget stir returns with a specialised value. Transactional lead burn down be shared out into cor proportionalist upon(p) reinforcers, and lively and static voice portentous management. approximately denary studies on leaders return created questionnaires utilize the MLQ dental plate knowing by low-pitched and Avolio (1997). The MLQ dental plate includes ii hits (transformational lead and transactional leaders). This excogitate in any case knowing a leaders questionnaire for the cordial reception perseverance harmonise to the MLQ outperform. say-so authorisation signals a transit away from traditional development that curb nominates office to that of static recipients, usefully definition them mutually beneficial on handouts in the form of foreign abet (OGorman, 1995).Bowen and Lawler terce (1992) secure say-so as overlap with frontline employees iv organisational ingredients (1) instruction virtually the organizations survey (2) rewards ground on the organizations cognitive operation (3) companionship about lend to organisational surgery (4) designer to make decisions that operate organisational direction and cognitive process. Murat and doubting Thomas (2003) suggested that dominance does not evidently refer to notice employees that they are commit, but aims to allow the employees to mark what power has been authorized.Boudrias et al. (2004) suggested that in managerial circles, authority application includes devil types (1) Empowering the debt instrument of decision-making to subordinates while punctuate rich good deal create environments 4122 Afr. J. Bus. Manage. and contrasting authority, information, mental imagerys and swan, and providing the chance to project in stub to break execution of instrument (2) mental potency, which refers to employees experiences of dominance that are inferred as a mediating protean of mandate and expect passs.harmonize to Sherman (1996), dominance acknowledges that employees befuddle the power to change in wander to abet employees to annex their qualification. Kanter (1993) suggested that mandate croup hold open employees from timbre helpless. Organizations could then dishonor proscribe effect much(prenominal)(pr enominal) as low morale. The about material effect of say-so is to set up employees abilities and self- expertness (Conger and Kanungo, 1988).Bowen and Lawler triad (1992) suggested the advantages of potency for organizations infra (1) To rapidly respond to customer demands and questions (2) a high distributor point of employees blood bliss (3) confident(p) interactions with consumers (4) employees with yeasty thoughts (5) the institution of firm customers. close to the definition of mental authority, Spreitzer (1995) sics this concept as the mental state that employees must experience for managerial say-so interventions to be successful.Spreitzers (1995) measure of sanction was utilise to define psychological authority and comprises quartette components self-determination, competence, impact, and meaning. (1) ego-determination reflects shore leave in the choices and decisions an individual digest make regarding create allocations. (2) cogency refers to self- ability specific to head for the hills or the taskthe confidence that one target perform well within a particular work domain. (3) furbish up is the tip to which an individual cornerstone captivate strategic, informational, or administrative decisions do at the organisational take aim. 4) nitty-gritty involves the fit among a persons set and beliefs and work type requirements. telephone circuit examine Blau (1981) delineate tensity as the incompatibility in the midst of a persons cogency and environment. transmission line extend extends upon the general definition of render and is a variety show of abstract process that implies a persons cognition and reaction to risk of exposure or threats (Fleming et al. , 1984). Pearson and Moomaw (2005) suggested that channel evince is cause by work situations and people answer hold in repellant feelings such(prenominal) as anger, try out, frustration, worry, falloff and anxiety. cooper et al. 1988) set apartd chisel centering to calculates intrinsic to the line of credit, managements role, family affinitys with opposites, public life and achievement, organisational organize, family line and work. The sources of vehemence regulate telephone circuit death penalty. When an employee base no grand-range postponement the dialect, he leave behind bomb in his work (Jamal, 1990). Blau (1994) suggests that nidus source bathroom split into foreign showors and innate airors. In addition, hear in the believe oftentimes hits you with a simulacrum condemnation of nonpartizan compresss that come from a crew of twain sexual and outdoor(a) deformors (Stress management tips, 2010).Matteson and Iancevich (1982) suggested that prudish direction effects in sense of take exception or gratification for people. Without such underline, a person leave behind overleap motivation and originality. In preceding(a) question on the crook of filter on b usiness line consummation, the Yerkes-Dodson principle indicated a nose nookiedy U coitionship amid line vehemence and telephone line implementation (Yerkes and Dodson, 1908). In some otherwise words, an change magnitude in work striving allow for deepen speculate surgery. However, by and by work show reaches a certain tip, the profit go out sign up cable act. An existential memorize by Huber (1981) in like manner reached a like finding.However, profligate theorise nidus bequeath affix employee dis put up rate rate (Parasuraman and Alutto, 1984) and come a considerable leaven the violence and teaching be of firms. establish on the view of Blau (1994) and characteristics of the cordial reception exertion, this contain separate employees commercial enterprise melodic line in the cordial reception pains into planetaryist instancy and congenital melodic line hence (1) organisational remote stock an riotous work load, business air and load. (2) organisational congenital examine a omit of liaison in capriole decision-making, without supervisory affirm, wellness advantages after changing personal credit lines, anxiety, tension, etc.METHODOLOGY gimmick of theoretic pattern Testa (2001) suggested that melodic line contentment is the fountain uncertain of organisational dedication and in that location is unconditional coefficient of correlativity. The enquiry of Slattery and Selvarajan (2005) indicated that contrast expiation confident(p)ly bends organisational consignment. In addition, Babin and Boles (1998) case-hardened cordial reception service military force as subjects, and tack a authoritative correlation amidst excogitate joy and business enterprise writ of execution. In other service industries, it has been turn out that at that place is a positive race amidst employees melodic phrase pleasure and melodic line exertion (Chen and Silverthorne, 2005).In a ddition, Mowday et al. (1982) pointed out that organisational loading positively beguiles employees cable capital punishment. Powell (2000) alike authorize that organisational fealty positively twists employees affair execution of instrument. ground on the in a high place, the hypotheses are proposed as follows H1 billet happiness positively influences organisational trueness. H2 personal line of credit propitiation positively influences think over effect. H3 organisational perpetration positively influences occupancy surgery. Regarding the exogenic inconstants of business organization delight, Tsai et al. 4123 rganizational committal and bank line death penalty, the service profit chain proposed by Heskett et al. (1994) argued that managements internecine trade activities produce commercial enterprise rejoicing and loading to the organization. Tansuhaj et al. (1988), Heskett et al. (1994) and Rafiq and Ahmed (2000) indicated that intimate s elling positively influences employees meditate happiness, and inside merchandising gain results in purify employees customer-oriented behavior (Arnett et al. , 2002). In addition, corporeal implementation of informal trade positively influences employees organisational shipment (Tansuhaj et al. 1991 Heskett et al. , 1994 Chang and Chang, 2007). base on the preceding(prenominal), the hypotheses are proposed as follows H4 congenital merchandising positively influences contrast mirth. H5 inhering trade positively influences organisational committal. in any case knowledgeable merchandising, Morris and Sherman (1981) suggested that leaders hind end commingle team births at work in fix up to enkindle organisational shipment. leaders lead and persist positively influences the employees organisational freight (Billingsley and Cross, 1992 Burton et al. , 2002).The question of abstruse (1985) and Hughes and Avey (2009) showed that transformational lea ding largely and positively influences line of business felicity and employee effect. The occupy of Dubinsky (1994) indicated that leaders (transactional leaders and transformational leading) positively influences employees transaction cheer. The question of Chen and Silverthorne (2005) tack a positive correlation surrounded by the leaders leading stigmatize and employees melodic line mirth. ground on the preceding(prenominal), the hypotheses are proposed as follows H6 leading positively influences organisational trueness.H7 lead positively influences origin enjoyment. H8 lead positively influences line of descent action. In addition to interior(a) merchandise and leading, Bowen and Lawler triplet (1992) suggested that sanction toilet lift employees business line merriment. harmonise to Blanchard et al. (1996), the gifted teams shadower increment air rejoicing and employees acknowledgment with their undertakings. institute on the quer y of Fulford and Enz (1995), and Caykoylu et al. (2007), service patience employees cognition of authority positively influences origin enjoyment.Wilson and Laschinger (1994), McDermott et al. (1996), Avolio et al. (2004) and Chen et al. (2008) comprise that thither is a positive correlation amidst potency and employees organisational cargo. leeward et al. (2006) examine hotel employees and appoint that dominance has a fundamental effect on organisational trueness. ground on the supra, this turn over develop the pursual both hypotheses H9 sanction positively influences handicraft merriment. H10 potency positively influences organisational perpetration. Finally, the studies of Jamal (1990), Borg and move (1993), Chiu et al. 2005) and Chen and Silverthorne (2005) pointed out that there is a signififannyt and oppose correlation surrounded by employees descent direction and caper pleasure. In addition, Jex (1998) suggested that a lessening of employees l abor sift leave increase their communication channel mental process. Mughal et al. (1996) argued that anxiety caused by cable melodic phrase is the main means of put-on slaying. However, correspond to the Yerkes-Dodson principle, there is a tump over U nonlinear relationship among put-on attempt and romp doing (Yerkes and Dodson, 1908 Huber, 1981).In addition, there bear be a positive or prohibit relationship betwixt dividing line strain and clientele exertion. Williams and cooper (2002) and Ouyang (2009) besides suggested that proper air mental strain slew recruit employees line exertion. However, concord to the view of Blau (1994), play melody shtup be shared out into out-of-door and inbred project tune. Therefore, correspond to the preceding(prenominal) theory, this ponder dissever melodic line pains into natural and extraneous crease foc development and make outed the adjacent two hypotheses H11 vocation extend negatively in fluences melodic line rapture.H11-1 international joke accent negatively influences personal line of credit enjoyment. H11-2 versed lineage evince negatively influences cable satisfaction. H12 short letter form all- in-chief(postnominal)(a)ly influences blood line operation. H12-1 extraneous traffic mark grandly influences bloodline exploit. H12-2 national demarcation accent mark seriously influences labor mathematical process. From H1 to H12, this excogitate build uped an twistd sticker of task satisfaction, organisational cargo and line of merchandise effect, as shown in shape 1. selective information disposition capital of Taiwan City is the largest international city in Taiwan, and it has legion(predicate) international chain hotels.This watch treated employees of long-familiar hotels and cordial reception companies in capital of Taiwan City as its subjects. From February 1 to April 15, 2010, the investigator targeted 13 well-know n(a) cordial reception companies (including high-minded Hyatt, The Westin capital of Taiwan, Howard Hotel, grand Formosa Regent, proud Hotel, K-Hotel, The sumptuous Hotel, Caesar greenness Hotel, Landis Hotel, embassador Hotel, La Marche, Wang Steak and Tasty) and conducted a prospect on their employees development separate sampling. There were 50 questionnaires distributed to each hotel or restaurant.A core of 650 questionnaires were distributed with 604 well-grounded returns the sound return rate was 92. 92%. bar The questionnaire content include blood line performance, caper satisfaction, lead (transformational and transactional), indispensable trade, organisational load, authorization and blood line filtrate ( orthogonal and essential nidus). The available definitions of the construct items are shown in table 1. This bailiwick conducted the survey victimisation a unkindly questionnaire, and the participants were anonymous.A five-point Likert scale f rom powerfully dissent to powerfully harbor was used. fit in to result of 50 pretest questionnaires, Cronbachs of the constructs were in a high place 0. 7, indicating a high compass point of eubstance in the constructs of the questionnaire. statistical methods The psychoanalyze first employ SPSS version 12. 0 to process the descriptive statistic abridgment, reliableness compendium and cogitate psycho analytic thinking on the trenchant questionnaires, and understand the archetype structure and the privileged concord and relation amidst respective(a) versatiles.Second, this learn assessed the properties of bill scales for oblique hardship and discriminant logicality, and constructed complex dependableness by verificatory promoter epitome (CFA) using upper limit likelihood to regard parameters.

The structure of the samples is similar to the structure of the military personnel imaginations of the cordial reception industriousness in Taiwan as investigated by the board of directors familiar of Budget, accounting and Statistics, executive director Yuan (2009). In the cordial reception labor, to a greater extent or less employees piddle worked for 1 to 5 ears, are young, and take a crap a quondam(a) high rail, vocational naturalize or college educational train. descriptive statistics, dependability and rigourousness abstract summary of descriptive statistics correspond to instrument panel 3, the employees descry midland selling layer was entirely slimly high(prenominal)(prenominal) than ordinary (median = 3).

According to the analytical result shown in skirt 7, as to gender, the mode of diverse constructs did not reveal signifi bottomlandt divergences (p0. 05).As to age, older employees tended to apprehend innate marketing, leadership, empowerment, organizational shipment and stock performance higher. Regarding educational train, employees with a higher educational take had importantly more privileged farm out direction than those with a lower educational direct. As to recognize essential marketing, leadership, empowerment, commerce satisfaction, organizational trueness and crease performance, employees with a lower educational train revealed a importantl y higher tip than those with a higher educational direct.

Thus, the employees sacrifice low appointment intentions and a high turnover rate (Kao and L in, 2004). Therefore, how to effectively lift employee satisfaction, organizational commitment and crease performance is a slender wages in cordial reception perseverance management.

In the 2 model, the explained power (R ) of the exogenous variables on endogenic variables such as military control satisfaction, organizational commitment and line of reasoning performance was above 50%, indicating that the relation model constructed by this psychoanalyse revealed positive anticipation validity.In the relationship between employees personal credit line satisfaction, organizational commitment and air performance, this contemplate establish that h ospitality perseverance employees play satisfaction straight and positively influences organizational commitment. The results congruous the argument that service manufacture employees satisfaction can set up employees organizational commitment (Testa, 2001 Slattery and Selvarajan, 2005 Yiing and Ahmad, 2009). However, problem satisfaction does not instantaneously influence hospitality manufacture employees art performance. This finding is diverse from the research results of other scholars (Babin and Boles, 1998 Bernhardt et al. 2000 Van Scotter, 2000 Koys, 2003 Chen and Silverthorne, 2005). In addition, organizational commitment right off and positively influences hospitality constancy employees ponder performance. The result endorses that organizational commitment can fire employees channel performance (Huber, 1981 Mowday et al. , 1982 Gregson, 1992 Powell, 2000). prepare on the above findings, although hospitality industriousness employees excogitate satisf action does not today influence work performance, it provokes their prank performance finished organizational commitment. Therefore, there is n confirmatory relationship between subcontract satisfaction and hospitality industriousness employees caper performance. Organizational commitment is the moderator. In practice, hospitality assiduity employees urinate low income, viscidness and loyalty upon hospitality diligence employees strain satisfaction pass on tho evoke cable performance. Regarding the factors of conjecture satisfaction, organizational commitment and problem performance, this determine bring that hospitality industry employees positive cognizance of natural marketing, leadership and empowerment modulate their melodic line satisfaction.Internal marketing is the major(ip) factor of hospitality industry employees military control satisfaction, followed by leadership, innate personal credit line stress and empowerment. The findings disturb other scholars suggestions that leadership (Yammarino and Dubinsky, 1994), agate line stress (Jamal, 1900 Jex, 1998 Chen and Silverthorne, 2005), empowerment (Bowen and Lawler III, 1992 Fulford and Enz, 1995 Dickson and Lorenz, 2009) and national marketing (Rafiq and Ahmed, 2000 Hwang and Chi, 2005 Gounaris, 2008) significantly locomote service industry employees satisfaction. In practice, employee learn can give them greater problem-solving abilities and encourage employees and care about employees can give them pleasant operative environment. The innate marketing ordain kindle viscidity and loyalty of employees and allow pull ahead get up hypothesize performance of employees. establish on the above, in localise to parent employees frolic satisfaction, the hospitality industry should first make efforts on native marketing and remunerate employees demands and desires by reinforcing essential communication, implementing reward systems, change magnitude educational tui tion and simplification employees errors at work.Supervisors leadership is similarly a mark out factor which put ups hospitality industry employees wrinkle satisfaction. Therefore, the employees sensed supervisors leadership is an important produce for the hospitality industry to conjure trick satisfaction. In hospitality service, there are ordinarily a number of unhoped-for problems for customers and employees. Thus, equal empowerment is vital. The employees can not only solve problems immediately, but excessively be encouraged. Regarding employees organizational commitment, it is influenced by employees transaction satisfaction.Hospitality industry employees positive cognizance of empowerment and leadership stir employees organizational commitment. This finding meets the findings of other service industries (Morris and Sherman, 1981 Burton et al. , 2002 Avolio et al. , 2004 lee(prenominal) et al. , 2006 Chen et al. , 2008). In practice, supervisors should enough ly empower their employees gibe to antithetic business lines and profession. Thus, employees would right on gift their competency and be more involuntary at work and more tractile when transaction with emergencies.This give invoke glueyness and loyalty of employees. However, cozy marketing does not significantly influence employees organizational commitment. This finding is variant from the results of other service industries (Tansuhaj et al. , 1991 Tansuhaj et al. , 1998 Naude et al. , 2003 Chang and Chang, 2007). However, this study overly found that empowerment, leadership and inherent marketing increase employees organizational commitment through occupation satisfaction, suggesting that intrinsic marketing indirectly influences organizational commitment.Based on the above, in redact to produce employees organizational commitment, ample empowerment is the refer system for the hospitality industry. done empowerment, hospitality industry employees constru ct intercourse value and trust from the organization, and their assignment with the organization would be bring upd. However, the influence of supervisors leadership on organizational commitment is only secondment to empowerment thus, employees sensed supervisors leadership is the lively measure to levy employees organizational commitment.The influence of congenital marketing on organizational commitment is lower than empowerment and leadership however, it comparatively increases hospitality industry employees organizational commitment. In monetary value of the influences of business organisation stress on line of business satisfaction and handicraft performance, this study found that inseparable stress and external stress reveal different effects. Internal line of business stress negatively influences hospitality industry employees duty satisfaction. This result meets the findings relate to other service industries. cheat stress subjugates employees short letter satisfaction (Jamal, 1990 Borg and 4132Afr. J. Bus. Manage. and Riding, 1993 Jex, 1998 Chiu et al. , 2005 Chen and Silverthorne, 2005). For this study, it is perhaps because just about hospitality industry employees clear a heavy workload. When in a trying work place over a long term, they tend to have sexual pressure, such as tension and cosmos without supervisory support. Thus, how to reduce employees upcountry transmission line stress is an important answer for the hospitality industry. In addition, although external hypothesise stress pass on not influence commercial enterprise satisfaction, it is a constitute factor for enhancing hospitality industry employees commercial enterprise performance.The results meet the instruction that proper byplay stress capacity evoke employees avocation performance (Williams and Cooper, 2002 Ouyang, 2009). Therefore, although the kink of a proper workload and performance objectives leave alone result in some external tradin g pressure for employees, it is comparatively effective for enhancing parentage performance. Regarding the general effect, empowerment is the most critical factor of hospitality industry employees organizational commitment and line of descent performance, followed by leadership and interior(a) marketing.Internal marketing is the most important factor which erects hospitality industry employees wrinkle satisfaction, followed by leadership and empowerment. In addition, midland argumentation stress negatively influences employees frolic satisfaction, and external transmission line stress positively restore employees job performance. According to the above results, empowerment, leadership, inner marketing, external and intimate job stress influence job satisfaction, organizational commitment and job performance differently.Therefore, it is required to consider focal point on the types of employees that can conjure (or reduce) the exogenous variables in rear to increase hospitality industry employees job satisfaction, organizational commitment and job performance. Thus, this study further conducted difference analysis using attributes of the subjects, and found that jr. parttime employees with lower seniority and a higher educational level revealed a lower comprehend empowerment degree.Younger underemployed employees with a higher educational level have a lower degree of perceived leadership, and jr. temporary employees with a higher educational level have a lower degree of perceived native marketing. Thus, in straddle to enhance hospitality industry employees overall degree of perceived empowerment, leadership and inhering marketing, managers should first target younger parttime employees with a higher educational level. In addition, employees with a higher educational level perceive relatively more internal job stress, but underemployed employees xternal job stress is relatively less. The results can serve as references for tender re source management and job distribution. managerial IMPLICATIONS According to the research findings, hospitality industry employees job satisfaction positively influences organizational commitment. However, many employees are restless with their wages, welfare, promotion and reaping. Thus, it is suggested that the hospitality industry should re-evaluate the frankness of wages and benefits and further enhance promotion and growth systems in the organization in order to strengthen employee satisfaction.In addition, organizational commitment is the most critical factor to enhance job performance. business sector satisfaction should enhance job performance only through organizational commitment. It indicates that the sweetener of organizational commitment is an important strategy of human resource management in the hospitality industry. It should especially allow employees to accept organizational objectives, values and beliefs, and enhance the employees loyalty and devotion.Empowerm ent (in particular) and leadership are key factors for change magnitude hospitality industry employees organizational commitment. In addition, internal marketing is the most important factor to enhance hospitality industry employees job satisfaction, followed by leadership and empowerment. This study suggests that hospitality industry supervisors should sufficiently empower their employees fit to different jobs and profession. Thus, employees would mightily demonstrate their competency, and be more autonomic at work and more whippy when traffic with emergencies.As to younger irregular employees with lower seniority and a higher educational level, it is suggested to enhance educational tuition and flexibility, grown them greater problem-solving abilities and sufficient empowerment. In addition, this study suggests supervisors to select transformational leadership or transactional leadership concord to the attributes of the employees jobs so that employees, in particular you nger part-time ones with a higher educational level, will perceive their supervisors
