The Role Of Different Projects Management Techniques
ABSTRACT:
The role of different project management techniques Is to implement projects successfully has been widely established in areas such as the planning
and control of time, cost and quality. In spite of this the distinction between the project and project management is less than precise. This paper aims to
identify the overlap between the definition of the project and project management and to discuss how the confusion between the two may affect their
relationship. It identifies the different individuals involved on the project and project management, together with their objectives, expectations and
influences. It demonstrates how a better appreciation of the distinction between the two will bring a higher possibility of project ... Show more content

the Thames Barrier, the Fulmar North Sea oil project or Concorde, all of which turned out to be relative successes, even though the project control
aspect of them failed. It can therefore be argued that the relationship between the two is less dependent than was first assumed, and in order to measure
project success a distinction should be made between the success of a project and the success of the project management activity. This paper attempts
to provide a logic for the distinction between project management and the project. Starting from a definition of the two terms, it will outline the factors
which affect their success, the individuals involved and their respective orientations and the relationship between these elements. It also discusses the
implications of the situation where the project fails but the project management process is perceived to have succeeded or vice versa.
Project success or failure: The definition of a project has suggested that there is an orientation towards higher and long–term goals. Important
parameters within the goals will be return on investment, profitability, competition and market ability. A range of variables and factors will affect the
ability to achieve these goals, which have been identified by various authors. The following list has been derived from the writings of Cash and Fox

In the group signature, public key of one group is connected with private keys of multiple groups. A message that is signed by any private keys of
group can be verified with unique group public key. Therefore attacker cannot identify who is sender of the message. Author also proposed an
efficient cooperative message authentication protocol, to reduce verification load where validity of safety message is examined by only those
verifiers, who are selected on the basis of their position related to sender vehicles. This scheme helps to revoke malicious vehicles, maintaining system
and various different security principles. If a verifier discovers an invalid regular broadcast message that is not verified as group signature, it
broadcasts a warning message also called as cooperative authentication message to other vehicles.

Project Management Techniques For Managing An Event Or...
TM166 Critical Essay
There are many advantages to using project management techniques to manage an event or festival. The production of an event or festival is seen as a
project. Project management looks over the different stages of the event, the initiation, planning, and implementation, the event itself and the shutdown.
The aims are to implement management plans from different areas of expertise into a detailed, workable plan for the entire project. Managing an event
requires careful project management; it does not just consist of running the event itself, but it requires careful planning as well as successive actions
following the event. (Owen, 2013)
Due to modern business constantly changing, products and services now should be seen as projects as a response to the change. Modern products are
constantly changing. Software upgrades are an example of this and they create an environment that is constantly changing. The events industry
expanding is a result of this change. New events needed to launch products; and new conferences needed to reposition towns and regions in the
marketplace as the national economy changes. (O 'Toole & Mikolaitis, 2002) As project management is used to manage these advancements, the event
industry recognises that these techniques can be effectively applied in the fluctuating business and cultural situation and as projects.

Project Management Tools and Techniques
A number of techniques are used by the project managers for the success of a project. Any activity or a task that needs some preparation for achieving
goals can be done better by the use of methods of project management (chapman, 2002). These methods can help the managers in planning and
management of different sort of tasks, especially in more complex activities.
Management of a project is linked with the planning and managing of change in an organization, but the project can also be something that is not
related to the business. It can be a domestic situation like shifting a house or a wedding plan. Therefore, the methods and tools of project management
can be even more useful than one can imagine. The techniques of project management and its planning tools are very useful and important for the
tasks in which there is a possibility of outcomes and the risks of different problems and failures exist.
Projects can be of different sizes and shapes, from small to extremely large and complex. Different tools and techniques are used for managing a

commonly used project selection techniques are Benefit Measurement Models and Mathematical Models, i.e. (Mathematical Models used for
extremely complex projects). In the workplace, Benefit Measurement Models are more often used. Some techniques in this category are: (1)
Cost–benefit analysis: Which provide a net gain. Typically, the net gain is proportional to the risk level, i.e. the higher the risk, the higher the gain.
(2) Weighted Scoring models: Risk of Incompletion is a factor that needs to be considered when comparing projects, using the Weighted Scoring
Model for Risk Management and Project Selection to help you select a project. (3) Cash flow analysis: Takes into account the payback period, AND
(4) Time Value of Money: Uses Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Generally, the higher the NPV, the better the project is.
There are positive risks in every project that require knowing how to respond to them. Risk Management and Project Selection should also account for

Management Techniques in Lean on Me

good at leading, planning, organizing and controlling their resources and materials to accomplish performance objectives. In other words management.
There are four main types of management, Classical, Behavioural, Quantitative and now the Modern Approach to Management. The Modern
Approach states that there is no one good way of management. A successful organization utilizes all the types of management. A good example of
this is the movie Lean on Me, starring Morgan Freeman as Joe Clark, the protagonist of the movie. Joe is a very talented teacher, who takes a lot of

On the other hand, this strict behaviour was also disguised as love to some students like Sam and Kaneesha, which influenced them to do better in
school. The main theory that Joe Clark used was Theory X. Theory X assumes people dislike work, lack ambition, are irresponsible and prefer to
be led. As soon as Mr. Clark enters the building and his first meeting, he starts to boss people around. He tells them you had your chance, now it is
my turn. He also said, you will do as you are told. Due to his strict behaviour no one talked backed to him at first. Everyone did what he told them
to do. By the attitude of Joe, it did not seem like that he gave his staff members much of a respect. As the movie goes on, we realize that some of
the staff members do not want to be lead any more. They rather do as they please. They wanted to be treated with respect. They wanted to be
treated as adults. In the end of the movie, Mr. Clark starts to treat the staff members with respect, which lead to everyone working to their fullest
potentials. He starts to use Argyrils ' Theory of Adult Personality, which says that workers like to be treated as adults. You have to increase their
tasks, to make them feel responsible. So, we see the Joe Clark used many management theories in order to achieve his goal. The mixture of

There are many roadblocks to successful time management. Three of the biggest time squeezers are family, work, and school. Managing all these
things actually begins with prioritizing. You must first focus on getting organized. You can make your life a lot easier by defining where and
when everything is. As a result, you will avoid becoming overwhelmed. Managing your family takes a lot of work and a sensitive nature. You will
have to deal with mood swings, behavior, and just a general attitude. You also need to know your real priorities. If you have a special time or a
special event that you always attend with your family, make that a priority. Let them know that they are special to you. Talk to them and let them
know that you may not be able to be there all the time, but that you will try to be there when it really counts. Camille Wright Miller of the Roanoke

Introduction
Project management is a challenging task with many complex responsibilities. Fortunately, there are many techniques available to assist with
accomplishing the tasks and hence executing the responsibilities. Such techniques include project planning, scheduling and controlling. The elements
that need to be planned, scheduled and controlled are time, cost and quality. Different methods have therefore to be used in cost planning and control
systems, time planning, scheduling and controlling systems, and quality planning and control system. Organisational techniques will enable the project
resources such as labour, material and plant to be ordered at the right time and when directing the resources for work it will be ideally stated. A chain
of command will exist when organisational structure is in place (Oberlender, 1993). These techniques have sprung up at an ever increasing rate. When

offering various project management techniques implemented through project management software.

Sensitivity analysis shows the sensitivity of economic payoffs to uncertain values such as discount rates. Management can see the profitability of a
project if input values change [ (Marshall, 1995) ]. It is easy to use and understand. Therefore it is most useful when more advanced and time

6. Simulation
Simulation is a technique for studying a system that involves setting up a model of the real system and then performing experiments on the model
rather than on the system. It is used in problems like inventory control and production planning.
Pros:
The simulation model can be used to test different alternatives that would be too expensive or impractical to perform on the real system. Simulation is
useful where other analytical techniques are not applicable. Simulation is cheaper and less risky than altering the real system [ (Lucey, 2002) ].
Cons:
The models are complex and therefore they can take up significant amounts of managerial and technical time. Computer expertise is also required and
this may not be available [ (Lucey, 2002) ]. Simulations do not always result in the optimal outcome. The manager makes the decision based on the
tested alternatives. The optimal decision may not have been tested. Simulations are not relevant to all management decisions.

blasting furnaces and carbon was used to bind with iron to produce steel. Therefore, Pike coal's unique property of producing low ash and high fluidity
made it potentially valuable resource.
Underground mining is very hazardous due to some reasons like lack of fresh air, poor ventilation, poor lighting and high level of poisonous gas. Thus,
several safety precautions should be taken for the well–being of the miners. Due to lack of these safety precautions and poor management strategies, on
19th November 2010 an explosion at Pike River Coal Mine left 29 miners dead. This report will further discuss on the safety techniques and
management strategies taken by the three protagonists of Pike River Coal Mine– the managers, the state and the workers.
OUTSOURCING:
Outsourcing is one of the important management strategy that provides wider access to world class capabilities and share risks with a partner
company. Outsourcing in mining industry depends on two factors: production factors and capacity based factors. Production factors are mostly related
to the strategic level of outsourcing whereas capacity based factors related to the tactical level. The Pike River Coal Management used the

Techniques for Estimating Task Duration in Project Management
TECHNIQUES FOR ESTIMATING TASK DURATIONS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT As part of planning a project, tasks are assigned to project
team members. Durations for task completion are also specified. Task duration estimation is necessary since it helps in cost and resource estimation.
Iranmanesh and Mokhtari (2008), further affirmed the importance of project duration estimation by saying that, estimation of time and cost to
complete work in a project and follow up them during implementation are major contributors to success or failure of a project, and hence very salient
for the Project Manager. According to Hill, Thomas and Allen (2000), developing accurate estimates of overall project duration and its separate

The project was in northern Ghana, where it was difficult to get fingerlings. We therefore contracted an expert to raise the fingerlings for us. This
made a huge impact on the project success where a Deputy Minister of Local Government and Rural Development travelled all the way from Accra to
Wa to partake in a symbolic harvest of the first stock of fish. The project was described as a great innovation that provided an alternative source of
sustainable livelihood in the dry season for community members of northern Ghana. Seeking expert advice made us implemented the project as if we
were professionals in fish culture. Three point technique: This technique is also known as Programme Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). It
originated in the 1950s during the U.S.N. Nautilus nuclear submarine project. This technique takes into account task variability and uses weighted
averages of task duration. Therefore the risk associated time variations are minimized (Wysocki, 2009). The technique requires the following three
estimates: Optimistic (O)–Shortest duration one experience if everything goes right Pessimistic (P)–Duration one experience if everything that could go
wrong actually went wrong yet the task was completed. Most likely (M)– The duration they usually experience in performing the task. E = O+4M+P 6

Proper Management Techniques Essay
I. INTRODUCTION
The quality of management in an organization determines how well a company will do. According to Taylor, Fayol, Weber and other classical
theorists, there is a single best way for organization to be structured. The challenge to that idea is known as the contingency theory, which states that
there is no one best way to organize your structure. I believe that the contingency theory is correct, but that in some cases, different approaches work
better than others. In this paper I will be discussing three important management functions that I believe if implemented, will help lead to having a very
successful organization. I will also be comparing them to three other ideas that are not quite as effective. The three ... Show more content on

Stretch goals however are very hard to achieve, therefore the employee is not able to be lazy if he hopes to attain them. With stretch goals, you are
constantly trying to find the most effective and efficient way to reach these goals. For example, if a company has a goal of zero waste, that would be
a stretch goal. Even though it is scientifically impossible to have zero waste, it would be more effective than an incremental goal of 5% decrease per
year, because it keeps the company in a constant battle for greater improvement.
IMPLEMENTATION. Stretch goals are good for a company to have, but using them effectively may be easier said than done. In order for stretch
goals to work, the employee must feel highly motivated to achieve them. This can be done two different ways. The first way is to have a fair
rewarding system in place, the equity theory is crucial here. The other way is by having the subordinate take part in the decision making process. If
they are a part of it, then they are more apt to work harder to achieve the goals that they came up with, instead of goals from a top manager that they
are just told to accomplish.

The Role Of Traditional Management Accounting Techniques
While the traditional management accounting techniques may have contributed to planning, controlling and decision making processes at the nation
state level, the requirements of globalisation in which nation states now compete for survival in the global market rather than state market, has
rendered traditional techniques obsolete and therefore calls for the mobilisation of modern techniques of management accounting. It also calls for the
service of accountants with modern management accounting techniques for a successful implementation. Required: Critically examine the above
statements by analysing the contribution of traditional management accounting techniques in an organisation, the necessity for modern management

competitive advantage. A management accountant acts as a tool to devise and implement strategies. Pre–1920, decision–making processes were
executed using strictly financial instruments such as cost profit analysis. "The growth of modern corporation, between 1880 and 1925 provided

In order to maintain the growth rates of nearly 20% and hit financial targets of 20% contribution margin (Brooks, E, personal communication 2016) a
clear focus on training and effective hide utilization is essential for Eagle Ottawa to succeed. Because Eagle Ottawa is a global company, an initiative
of a business process improvement magnitude is necessary and it will require a company–wide commitment to improve customer satisfaction. An
appropriate contemporary management method to accomplish these objectives is business process improvement (BPI). Business process improvement

instigated while highlighting the businesses need for it, the clear objectives of the project and what product or results it will produce The project
scope will also show the acceptance criteria that must be met by the project, how the effectiveness of the project will be measured and what the
acceptance criteria will be. The document goes on to highlight what the project excludes and what it will not accomplish, the constraints of the project
whether they be time or funding or both and finally any assumptions that are taken when producing the document. To develop the Scope usually
requires the input of the project manager who writes the first draft it but also there must be input from those wo requested the project and the project
team as well (project sponsor and key stake holders). Only once agreement has been meet between these parties can a project scope be issued 2.Think

1. Systematic problem–solving
It focuses mainly on improving the quality of principal ideas. It relies on scientific methods, facts and figures instead of just beating around the bush to
solve the problems. It uses simple statistics tools to represent data. For the control and continuous improvement, it uses a Deming management method
of plan–do–check–act. This can be elaborated as establishing the objective, implementing the plan, analyzes and compare the actual result. Thus, if the
plan makes sense to the organization, then final act upon it and make that plan as a new standard.
Mostly the training programs emphasis on practical examples, problem–solving, etc. Tough, they are easy to follow but difficult to implement.

Project Management : Program Evaluation And Review Technique
Probably the most important techniques that a project manager must master is the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) or Arrow
Diagram Method (ADM) as known by the Project Management Institute. This method is one of the most common scheduling models in project
management (Meredith & Mantel, 2009, p 21). A method that analyzes the probabilities of a project finalizing on time. The PERT identifies the
worst, best and most likely case scenarios and aids the project manager in developing a simple project schedule while considering risks and deciding
which risks to take. Since every project deals with uncertainty at some level and in some form, the PERT is in my opinion the number one technique
that every project manager must be well educated on.
Ranking second is the Critical Path Method (CPM) or Precedence Diagram Method (PDM). Also considered next to PERT as one of the most common
approaches in project management. CPM adds some strength into the scheduling and planning phases of project management by resolving issues with
resource allocation (Meredith & Mantel, 2009, p 383). CPM takes into consideration the possibilities of decreasing the duration of the project by
analyzing the required tasks and resource availability and needs. Crashing a project is a common approach utilized with CPM since its objective is to
shorten the length of the project while considering costs tradeoffs.

Stress Management Techniques: Coping in a World with Everlasting Stressors
Stress is a well–known contributor to a degraded quality of life. Stress can put one into a state of despair, as well as cause many negative health
effects. The different types of stress include acute stress, prolonged stress, and chronic stress. Stress is influenced by stressors, which are variables that
cause stress to occur. In addition to there being several types of stress, there are many symptoms associated with stress; symptoms of stress include
increased heart rate, rise in blood sugar, rapid blood clotting, and increased respiration (Antai–Otong 31). Studies on stress have been conducted since
1925. In 2009, a study was conducted on the impact of stress within the United States. The results of the study were staggering; out of the adult
respondents, 24% reported high levels of stress and 51% reported moderate levels of stress. This study proves that most adults live with stress
(Rizzolo and Sedrak 20). In recent years, humans as a whole have become more familiarized with stress and how stress is formed. Most people
have a basic knowledge of factors that cause stress; however, effective ways to reduce and mitigate stress is not well known. One will find stressors

Overbooking: Overbooking is a practice of intentionally selling more rooms than available in order to offset the effect of cancellations. For example,
suppose in the hotel industry, there are 180 rooms available, there is no certainity that all the rooms would be booed at a point of time. In the same
way, during the season, there is a possibility of over booking. Therefore if the booking is done 181 customers instead of
180, the hotel may end up with only 173 or less than 180 customers.since the probability of exactly 181 customers turning up is low, the revenue from
that aditional customer generally compensates more than the expected cost. For this example, the optimal number of customers that can be booked
would be 186 as illustrated in the following figure.

Strategic Planning And Proper Management Techniques Essay
Corporate America has changed drastically in the last 50 years. So long are the days of Mad Men, where female secretaries wait on their male
counterparts hand and foot. Management does not serve the way it used to in the 1950's. It is nearly impossible to get everyone physically into a
room for a meeting when people can easily join in on the conversation from the comfort of their own home. No longer do colleagues meet at the water
cooler or leave the office behind for happy hour. Computer–mediated communication systems, or internet–based technologies like Skype and Google
Chats, have been the forefront of the transition into telecommunicating and virtual team building. The use of these technologies increase the range,
capacity, and speed of managerial communications, as well as make the job plain and easy for teams to collaborate (Warkentin 976).Management must
use new strategies to supervise and support their employees in the new digital age. Strategic planning and proper management techniques are the only
way that remotely located employees can properly contribute to team building the same way as they would if they showed up to the same office
building each day. Telecommunicating to work is the latest trend in corporate America. In this century, it is more common for a manager to oversee a
virtual workplace, rather than walk from desk to desk, monitoring what each employee is currently working on. Technology has made this possible, but

Nonprofit And For Profit Organizational Management Techniques
Nonprofit and For–profit Organizational Management Techniques
Stakeholders determine the directions of the organization (Sackett & Weyhrauch, 2014). Nonprofit and for–profit organizations must determine the
hierarchic of their stakeholders. Boutelle (2004) argued that stakeholders are aligned according to their influence and interest. Boutelle outlined four
categories: high influence–high interest; low influence–high interest; high influence–low interest; low influence–low interest. Another method of
ranking stakeholders is by their attributes: power, urgency, and legitimacy (Myllykangas, Kujala, & Lehtimäki, 2010). The purpose of this paper is to
determine how stakeholder interests, opinions, and concerns are managed in nonprofit and for–profit organizations. Next, compare and contrast the
differences in management of stakeholders between nonprofit and for–profit organizations. Last, offer research questions that review the effectiveness
of management techniques.

Use Of Master Data Management Techniques
Article Summary: In the white paper "Challenges in the Effective Use of Master Data Management Techniques", author David Loshin addresses the
most critical challenges that organizations may face in their quest to develop an MDM strategy and suggests that phased implementation is an ideal
approach. Threats to a successful implementation of a Master Data Management methodology could be encountered throughout the entire project. The
planning phase of the initiative is the most frequently realized as organizations fail to align goals and disagree on the definitions and attributes for the
master records that will reside in the central repository. During the execution phase, data loss or corruption could become imminent if IT is required to

Additionally, it is highly recommended that organizations scope out a smaller initiative to prove the value of the program and promote acceptance
within other business units. Furthermore, the program needs the appropriate sponsor who is able to impress the importance of data governance onto
the rest of the organization. These first steps towards successful implementation of data governance are the most crucial. Once the initial planning and
design phases are completed, and the culture is accepting of the initiative, the organization must ensure that the proper resources, both human and
technology, are available to execute the strategy. Finally, it is vital to continually stress the importance of adherence to the established data governance.
Data governance should be considered a continuous effort that will support the goals of the organization.
Critical Analysis: The concepts presented in Fisher's "The Data Asset: How Smart Companies Govern Their Data for Business Success" are reflective
of the fundamental points that were emphasized in the referenced white papers. Additionally, Fisher expands upon these theoretical concepts and
illustrates the benefits of their application through real–world examples of organizational pursuits of master data management and data governance. In

of the departments of a company, including marketing. Marketing has different sub divisions like research and development, storing, advertising,
customer satisfaction research, market research, product quality control, and much more. Marketing is a vast are that covers everything to do with the

The Role Of Different Projects Management Techniques ABSTRACT: The role of different project management techniques Is to implement projects successfully has been widely established in areas such as the planning and control of time, cost and quality. In spite of this the distinction between the project and project management is less than precise. This paper aims to identify the overlap between the definition of the project and project management and to discuss how the confusion between the two may affect their relationship. It identifies the different individuals involved on the project and project management, together with their objectives, expectations and influences. It demonstrates how a better appreciation of the distinction between the two will bring a higher possibility of project ...

It can therefore be argued that the relationship between the two is less dependent than was first assumed, and in order to measure project success a distinction should be made between the success of a project and the success of the project management activity. This paper attempts to provide a logic for the distinction between project management and the project. Starting from a definition of the two terms, it will outline the factors which affect their success, the individuals involved and their respective orientations and the relationship between these elements. It also discusses the implications of the situation where the project fails but the project management process is perceived to have succeeded or vice versa. Project success or failure: The definition of a project has suggested that there is an orientation towards higher and long–term goals. Important parameters within the goals will be return on investment, profitability, competition and market ability. A range of variables and factors will affect the ability to achieve these goals, which have been identified by various authors.

The OKD scheme constructs the key tree with one–way key approach and derives the new key from the old one to improve the rekeying efficiency. There are internal k–nodes, external k–nodes, and members in each group (u–nodes). In the tree, the internal k–node stores the auxiliary key and the external k–node stores the secret key for each u–node. The secret key is only known by the ...

A message that is signed by any private keys of group can be verified with unique group public key. Therefore attacker cannot identify who is sender of the message. Author also proposed an efficient cooperative message authentication protocol, to reduce verification load where validity of safety message is examined by only those verifiers, who are selected on the basis of their position related to sender vehicles. This scheme helps to revoke malicious vehicles, maintaining system and various different security principles. If a verifier discovers an invalid regular broadcast message that is not verified as group signature, it broadcasts a warning message also called as cooperative authentication message to other vehicles.

Knowledge Management Techniques Knowledge Management Techniques Garden Supplies Franchise directors, by insisting to know why BB produces better catalogues and mailing list on a 25 year old Amiga platform where as his staff that enjoys a 2 million dollar budget cannot match them, are self aware. This is why they intend to incorporate the plants and tools components of the stock into the greater franchise stock lines, and also convert the mailing list and distribution list into their own versions. The franchise appears to be harboring a belief that when they get a web presence for their combined catalogue will give them an edge with regard to the sale of their products. This appears to be in tandem with the checklist's requirement of understanding of organizational needs. The franchise appears to be fully aware of the aims it intends to achieve. In conducting the knowledge audit, I would focus on the kind of software that the franchise should consider using in their resolve to incorporate BB's plants and tools components of the stock into greater franchise stock lines. It is apparent that there is knowledge gap among the staff and this is evident in IT staff resentful nature when it comes to embracing new technology. Nevertheless, I would also focus on the aspects of the check list especially with regard to whether the organization's purpose is expressed in practical terms. These include its mission statement, procedures, targets, and outcome projections. There appears to be knowledge gap in the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Project Management Techniques For Managing An Event Or... TM166 Critical Essay There are many advantages to using project management techniques to manage an event or festival. The production of an event or festival is seen as a project. Project management looks over the different stages of the event, the initiation, planning, and implementation, the event itself and the shutdown. The aims are to implement management plans from different areas of expertise into a detailed, workable plan for the entire project. Managing an event requires careful project management; it does not just consist of running the event itself, but it requires careful planning as well as successive actions following the event. (Owen, 2013) Due to modern business constantly changing, products and services now should be seen as projects as a response to the change. Modern products are constantly changing. Software upgrades are an example of this and they create an environment that is constantly changing. The events industry expanding is a result of this change. New events needed to launch products; and new conferences needed to reposition towns and regions in the marketplace as the national economy changes. (O 'Toole & Mikolaitis, 2002) As project management is used to manage these advancements, the event industry recognises that these techniques can be effectively applied in the fluctuating business and cultural situation and as projects.

Any activity or a task that needs some preparation for achieving goals can be done better by the use of methods of project management (chapman, 2002). These methods can help the managers in planning and management of different sort of tasks, especially in more complex activities.

The techniques of project management and its planning tools are very useful and important for the tasks in which there is a possibility of outcomes and the risks of different problems and failures exist.

In the workplace, Benefit Measurement Models are more often used. Some techniques in this category are: (1) Cost–benefit analysis: Which provide a net gain. Typically, the net gain is proportional to the risk level, i.e. the higher the risk, the higher the gain. (2) Weighted Scoring models: Risk of Incompletion is a factor that needs to be considered when comparing projects, using the Weighted Scoring Model for Risk Management and Project Selection to help you select a project. (3) Cash flow analysis: Takes into account the payback period, AND (4) Time Value of Money: Uses Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Generally, the higher the NPV, the better the project is. There are positive risks in every project that require knowing how to respond to them.

In order for an organization to insure that they must be good at leading, planning, organizing and controlling their resources and materials to accomplish performance objectives. In other words management. There are four main types of management, Classical, Behavioural, Quantitative and now the Modern Approach to Management. The Modern Approach states that there is no one good way of management. A successful organization utilizes all the types of management. A good example of this is the movie Lean on Me, starring Morgan Freeman as Joe Clark, the protagonist of the movie. Joe is a very talented teacher, who takes a lot of pride in his work, but ...

The main theory that Joe Clark used was Theory X. Theory X assumes people dislike work, lack ambition, are irresponsible and prefer to be led. As soon as Mr. Clark enters the building and his first meeting, he starts to boss people around. He tells them you had your chance, now it is my turn. He also said, you will do as you are told. Due to his strict behaviour no one talked backed to him at first. Everyone did what he told them to do. By the attitude of Joe, it did not seem like that he gave his staff members much of a respect. As the movie goes on, we realize that some of the staff members do not want to be lead any more. They rather do as they please. They wanted to be treated with respect. They wanted to be treated as adults. In the end of the movie, Mr. Clark starts to treat the staff members with respect, which lead to everyone working to their fullest potentials. He starts to use Argyrils ' Theory of Adult Personality, which says that workers like to be treated as adults. You have to increase their tasks, to make them feel responsible. So, we see the Joe Clark used many management theories in order to achieve his goal. The mixture of management used by Joe Clark is very effective in this case.

The coal present in the Pike River Coal Mine had some distinctive qualities. It was bright, lustrous coking coal with several properties that was sought after by the international steel makers. They used coke as a source of fuel for blasting furnaces and carbon was used to bind with iron to produce steel. Therefore, Pike coal's unique property of producing low ash and high fluidity made it potentially valuable resource. Underground mining is very hazardous due to some reasons like lack of fresh air, poor ventilation, poor lighting and high level of poisonous gas. Thus, several safety precautions should be taken for the well–being of the miners.

Stretch goals however are very hard to achieve, therefore the employee is not able to be lazy if he hopes to attain them. With stretch goals, you are constantly trying to find the most effective and efficient way to reach these goals. For example, if a company has a goal of zero waste, that would be a stretch goal. Even though it is scientifically impossible to have zero waste, it would be more effective than an incremental goal of 5% decrease per year, because it keeps the company in a constant battle for greater improvement. IMPLEMENTATION. Stretch goals are good for a company to have, but using them effectively may be easier said than done. In order for stretch goals to work, the employee must feel highly motivated to achieve them. This can be done two different ways. The first way is to have a fair rewarding system in place, the equity theory is crucial here. The other way is by having the subordinate take part in the decision making process.

Project Management : Program Evaluation And Review Technique Probably the most important techniques that a project manager must master is the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) or Arrow Diagram Method (ADM) as known by the Project Management Institute. This method is one of the most common scheduling models in project management (Meredith & Mantel, 2009, p 21). A method that analyzes the probabilities of a project finalizing on time. The PERT identifies the worst, best and most likely case scenarios and aids the project manager in developing a simple project schedule while considering risks and deciding which risks to take. Since every project deals with uncertainty at some level and in some form, the PERT is in my opinion the number one technique that every project manager must be well educated on. Ranking second is the Critical Path Method (CPM) or Precedence Diagram Method (PDM). Also considered next to PERT as one of the most common approaches in project management. CPM adds some strength into the scheduling and planning phases of project management by resolving issues with resource allocation (Meredith & Mantel, 2009, p 383). CPM takes into consideration the possibilities of decreasing the duration of the project by analyzing the required tasks and resource availability and needs. Crashing a project is a common approach utilized with CPM since its objective is to shorten the length of the project while considering costs tradeoffs. The third most important tool is the Gantt chart due to its value as a secondary ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 33. Stress Management Techniques : Coping Stress Management Techniques: Coping in a World with Everlasting Stressors Stress is a well–known contributor to a degraded quality of life. Stress can put one into a state of despair, as well as cause many negative health effects. The different types of stress include acute stress, prolonged stress, and chronic stress. Stress is influenced by stressors, which are variables that cause stress to occur. In addition to there being several types of stress, there are many symptoms associated with stress; symptoms of stress include increased heart rate, rise in blood sugar, rapid blood clotting, and increased respiration (Antai–Otong 31). Studies on stress have been conducted since 1925. In 2009, a study was conducted on the impact of stress within the United States. The results of the study were staggering; out of the adult respondents, 24% reported high levels of stress and 51% reported moderate levels of stress. This study proves that most adults live with stress (Rizzolo and Sedrak 20). In recent years, humans as a whole have become more familiarized with stress and how stress is formed. Most people have a basic knowledge of factors that cause stress; however, effective ways to reduce and mitigate stress is not well known.

Two Prices: Two Market Segments Price P1 P2 Q1 Q2 Quantity Supplied Overbooking: Overbooking is a practice of intentionally selling more rooms than available in order to offset the effect of cancellations. For example, suppose in the hotel industry, there are 180 rooms available, there is no certainity that all the rooms would be booed at a point of time. In the same way, during the season, there is a possibility of over booking. Therefore if the booking is done 181 customers instead of 180, the hotel may end up with only 173 or less than 180 customers.since the probability of exactly 181 customers turning up is low, the revenue from that aditional customer generally compensates more than the expected cost. For this example, the optimal number of customers that can be booked would be 186 as illustrated in the following figure.

  • 40. Strategic Planning And Proper Management Techniques Essay Corporate America has changed drastically in the last 50 years. So long are the days of Mad Men, where female secretaries wait on their male counterparts hand and foot. Management does not serve the way it used to in the 1950's. It is nearly impossible to get everyone physically into a room for a meeting when people can easily join in on the conversation from the comfort of their own home. No longer do colleagues meet at the water cooler or leave the office behind for happy hour. Computer–mediated communication systems, or internet–based technologies like Skype and Google Chats, have been the forefront of the transition into telecommunicating and virtual team building. The use of these technologies increase the range, capacity, and speed of managerial communications, as well as make the job plain and easy for teams to collaborate (Warkentin 976).Management must use new strategies to supervise and support their employees in the new digital age. Strategic planning and proper management techniques are the only way that remotely located employees can properly contribute to team building the same way as they would if they showed up to the same office building each day. Telecommunicating to work is the latest trend in corporate America. In this century, it is more common for a manager to oversee a virtual workplace, rather than walk from desk to desk, monitoring what each employee is currently working on.

  • 41. Nonprofit And For Profit Organizational Management Techniques Nonprofit and For–profit Organizational Management Techniques Stakeholders determine the directions of the organization (Sackett & Weyhrauch, 2014). Nonprofit and for–profit organizations must determine the hierarchic of their stakeholders. Boutelle (2004) argued that stakeholders are aligned according to their influence and interest. Boutelle outlined four categories: high influence–high interest; low influence–high interest; high influence–low interest; low influence–low interest. Another method of ranking stakeholders is by their attributes: power, urgency, and legitimacy (Myllykangas, Kujala, & LehtimГ¤ki, 2010). The purpose of this paper is to determine how stakeholder interests, opinions, and concerns are managed in nonprofit and for–profit organizations. Next, compare and contrast the differences in management of stakeholders between nonprofit and for–profit organizations. Last, offer research questions that review the effectiveness of management techniques. Stakeholder Interests Managed in NPOs Not all stakeholders process the same level of influence on an organization (Greiman, 2013). For example, Manetti and Toccafondi (2014) noted that the diverse group of stakeholders is viewed at different levels of importance.

Use Of Master Data Management Techniques Article Summary: In the white paper "Challenges in the Effective Use of Master Data Management Techniques", author David Loshin addresses the most critical challenges that organizations may face in their quest to develop an MDM strategy and suggests that phased implementation is an ideal approach. Threats to a successful implementation of a Master Data Management methodology could be encountered throughout the entire project. The planning phase of the initiative is the most frequently realized as organizations fail to align goals and disagree on the definitions and attributes for the master records that will reside in the central repository. During the execution phase, data loss or corruption could become imminent if IT is required to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Additionally, it is highly recommended that organizations scope out a smaller initiative to prove the value of the program and promote acceptance within other business units. Furthermore, the program needs the appropriate sponsor who is able to impress the importance of data governance onto the rest of the organization. These first steps towards successful implementation of data governance are the most crucial. Once the initial planning and design phases are completed, and the culture is accepting of the initiative, the organization must ensure that the proper resources, both human and technology, are available to execute the strategy. Finally, it is vital to continually stress the importance of adherence to the established data governance. Data governance should be considered a continuous effort that will support the goals of the organization. Critical Analysis: The concepts presented in Fisher's "The Data Asset: How Smart Companies Govern Their Data for Business Success" are reflective of the fundamental points that were emphasized in the referenced white papers. Additionally, Fisher expands upon these theoretical concepts and illustrates the benefits of their application through real–world examples of organizational pursuits of master data management and data governance.
