1) The document discusses several topics related to management including the relationship between responsibility, authority, and accountability. It also discusses the stages of team development and the role of cohesiveness in team performance.
2) The stages of team development include forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. During forming, team members introduce themselves and discuss goals and roles. Storming involves conflicts between personalities. In norming, differences are accepted and consensus develops. Performing sees cohesion and commitment to goals. Adjourning focuses on finishing and acknowledging efforts.
3) Cohesiveness, or unity around common goals, boosts team performance. It increases morale, communication, and commitment to strategies and decisions

Solution
.1. A collection of individuals who have regular contact and frequent interaction, mutual
influence, common feeling fcamaraderie, and who work together to achieve a common set of
goals.
2. Formal Groups- Formal groups are created and maintained to fulfill needs or tasks which arc
related to the total organisation mission. Thus these are consciously and deliberately created.
Such groups may be either permanent in the form of top management team such as board of
directors or management committees, work units in the various departments of the organisation,
staff groups providing specialised services to the organisation, and so on; or the formal groups
may be constituted on temporary basis for fulfilling certain specified objectives. When such
objectives are fulfilled they disappear. These may be in the form of temporary committee, task
force, etc. The working of formal groups is regulated by organisational rules and regulations.
Informals Group- Informal groups, on the other hand, are created in the organisation becausc of
operation of social and psychological forces operating at the work-place. Members create such
groups for their own satisfaction and their working is not regulated by the general framework of
organisational rules and regulations. Thus formal and informal organisations differ from each
other in the following respects:
1. Origin—As discussed above, reasons and circumstances of origin of both formal and informal
organisations are quite different. The formal groups are created deliberately and consciously in
the organisation by the framers of the organisation. On the other hand, informal groups arc
created because
of the operation of socio-psychological forces at the workplace, that is, people while working
together develop certain liking and disliking for others for the type of interactions not provided
officially.
2. Purpose—Since formal groups are deliberate creation, they are created for achieving the
legitimate objectives of the organisation. In fact, formal groups are basic product of formal
ogranisation structure. The informal groups are created by organisational members for their
social and psychological satisfaction. Thus they serve the purpose of organisational members

A team can be built in different ways so as to make members to achieve the same goal and the target objectives. When building a team, the role to be undertaken, selection of the people, and also their relationship should be considered. The task to assign should not be complicated at all. This means that the work should be simple and match with the skills of the team members so as to make the work easier for them and facilitate better performance which leads to good productivity (Barrow, 2012).
When selecting people, the sum of the people should be sufficient to fit the task. Also, the members should have relevant skills for doing the work assigned to them. They should have different ideas and experience so as to combine efforts and come up with good results. Relationships are very important in any team. Maintenance of the way people interact is very important(Blazovich, 2013). Sufficient environment should be ensured in a way that all members will feel free and appreciated.
Diversity is very important also in teamwork. It can be incorporated into making sure communication is made available to all. Members should be informed about what is required to be done in the group. Also, managers should be open-minded when dealing with the ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Answer 3 parts from the readings.docx
1. (Mt) – Answer 3 parts from the readings
Hello! Please find the attached as the final answer. Kindly inform me if there is any issue.
Thankyou.Running head: MANAGEMENT1ManagementName of StudentInstitutional
AffiliationDateMANAGEMENT2Part 1Relationship Between Responsibility, Authority, and
AccountabilityOne of the strategies used by organizations to ensure operations
effectiveness is throughdelegating duties. When a duty is delegated to you, you are in charge
of an event or task,commonly referred to as responsibility. After being allocated a task, one
is expected to conducttheir respective duties in line with the established ethics and
governance. You are answerableand expected to give an account of all the elements with
respect to the allocated task. One is alsoexpected to report to their seniors about every
action. One can also have authority over otherpeople, especially when one is a team
leader.Modular and Virtual organizationsVirtual organization structure involves
independent entities such as organizations orinstitutions linked together by
telecommunication and computing technologies to shareknowledge and skills (Williams,
2016).. The main advantage of the structure is that itsignificantly reduces operations costs.
However, the structure is vulnerable to a range of securityand compliance issues. Since data
is shared through internet, there is a risk of data breachthrough hacking, spamming among
other cybercrime activities. Modular organization structuredivides businesses into small
and tightly knit strategic business units (Williams, 2016). The unitsfocus on certain
elements within the organization. The structure enhances full strategic controlover the
most important activities. However, there is high risk of eroding cross-functionalactivities
and skills.Part 2Team Development StagesMANAGEMENT3The process of developing a
team is essential in creating a high-function team. The firststage is forming. The stage
involves orientation. The team members introduce themselves toeach other, familiarize
themselves, and start forming responsibilities and roles. In addition tothese, the team may
also discuss the ground rules, project goals, individual responsibilities, atimeline, among
other factors.The second stage is the storming stage. The stage is characterized by conflict
andcompetition attributed to individual personalities. These may also affect team
performance sincetime and energy are mostly diverted into fruitless actions. Team
members fail to agree on theestablished goals and clique on personalities. However, to
realize success, team members need toaccept their differences, overcome obstacles, and
work on team goals.The third stage is the norming stage. At this stage, people appreciate
and acceptdifferences in their team members. The team starts to work cohesively, and
consensus developswith regards to leaders and individual roles. Additionally, the team puts
2. more focus on realizingteam goals. As a result, team performance increases.The fourth stage
is the performing stage. At this stage, cohesion and consensus are well isestablished. The
team is mature, organized, and functions well. The team members arecommitted to realize
the established goals. Additionally, there is a stable and certain structure.The team is also
able to handle any conflict or differences that may emerge.The final stage is the adjourning
stage. At this stage, most of the aims have beenachieved. More focus is put on the final
touches. Additionally, it involves documenting theefforts made, and the results realized.
Since the workload is reduced, some team members maybe reassigned, or the team may be
disbanded. There is need for a ceremony acknowledgment ofthe efforts made and the
success realized.MANAGEMENT4Role of Cohesiveness in Team PerformanceCohesion can
be described as the extent to which people are unified as they pursue acommon goal. To
realize the expected result, team members need to bond with one another. Acohesive team
focuses do not focus on personal differences but focus on the process and thegoal.
Additionally, there is respect among team members, accountability, commitment,
andadherence to the developed strategies and decisions. Cohesiveness boosts team
members’ moraleand confidence since there is increased communication, a friendly
environment, input in thedecision-making process, and a welcoming team environment.
Successful organizationalstrategies are enforced by an effective team characterized by a
high level of cohesiveness.Types of Conflicts Within Team and Its AdvantageSince a team is
made up of people with different personalities, there is a high likely hoodthat there will
arise conflict. Conflict can be defined as an aggressive relation that occurs whenone blocks
another person’s decision or action. There exist five types of team conflicts,emotional
conflicts, and substantive conflicts. Some of the things that cause emotional conflictsinclude
insecurity, jealousy, and annoyance, among others. Two parties always have
contrastingviewpoints hence cannot control their personal animosity. An example is when
one needs peaceto concentrate, and a colleague says that playing music stimulates
creativity. Substantiveconflicts are caused by things such as tasks, resource allocation, and
goals, among others. Forexample, a software engineer opts to use a specific software
program because of its user interfacefeatures. The manager may opt to use a different
program since it provides comprehensivereports. As a result, conflict may arise between the
manager and the software engineer.Conflict is not always negative and can be beneficial at
times. New ideas cannot emergewithout disagreement. Conflict within a team helps avoid
groupthink and makes the team makeMANAGEMENT5rati…
