Biographical analysis on a business leader for Organizational Behavior Course (MGT321) - Michael Saul Dell
Michael Saul Dell.docx
Michael Dell, (born February 23, 1965, Houston, Texas, U.S.), American entrepreneur, businessman, and author, known as the founder and CEO of Dell Inc., one of the world’s leading sellers of personal computers (PCs). In 2016 he became CEO of the newly formed parent company, Dell Technologies.
As a student of the University of Texas at Austin, Dell started his computer business (originally called PCs Limited) in 1984 with $1,000 in start-up capital. By the second half of his freshman year, Dell had sold $80,000 worth of computers. He dropped out of college at age 19 to run his company full-time, eventually going public in 1988. PCs Limited later became the Dell Computer Corporation and ultimately Dell Inc., when the product line expanded to include more than personal computers.
Dell’s business philosophy was to gain PC market share through a combination of cutting costs, reducing delivery time, and providing excellent customer service. To do so, he hired experienced executives, both to fill jobs in the company and to act as personal mentors, and he emphasized direct sales outside the usual retail outlets. In 1992 Dell became the youngest CEO in history to have his firm enter Fortune magazine’s list of the top 500 corporations. In his book Direct from Dell: Strategies That Revolutionized an Industry (1999), Dell outlined the story of the company’s development and provided strategies applicable to all businesses.
In 2004 Dell stepped down as CEO of the company, but he remained chairman of the board. He served on the Foundation Board of the World Economic Forum and the executive committee of the International Business Council. He also was on the U.S. President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and sat on the governing board of the Indian School of Business in Hyderabad.
After experiencing setbacks in 2006—including a 4.1-million-unit recall and an overhaul of the customer service division struggling with complaints—Dell Inc., lost the title of world’s largest PC manufacturer to Hewlett-Packard. In response, Dell was reinstated as CEO in 2007 to oversee Dell 2.0, a far-reaching revamp of the company as he moved the focus from PCs to corporate software and services as well as other electronic devices. The company continued to struggle, however, and in 2013 Dell announced plans to buy out investors and take the company private. A heated battle with shareholders, led by Carl Icahn, ensued over the price of stock. Dell and the investment firm Silver Lake Partners ultimately purchased (2013) the computer company for nearly $25 billion. In 2016 he oversaw what was then the largest tech deal as Dell acquired the computer-storage corporation EMC for some $67 billion. The public parent company Dell Technologies was formed, with Dell as CEO.
In 1999 Dell and his wife, Susan, formed the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation to manage the investments and philanthropic efforts of the Dell family. Through the foundation, Dell used some of his personal

Out of 1,435
Fortune
500 companies that
renowned management researcher Jim
Collins studied, only 11 achieved and sus-
tained greatness—garnering stock returns
at least three times the market’s—for 15
years after a major transition period.
What did these 11 companies have in com-
mon? Each had a “Level 5” leader at the
helm.
Level 5 leaders blend the paradoxical com-
bination of
deep personal humility
with
intense professional will
. This rare combi-
nation also defies our assumptions about
what makes a great leader.
Celebrities like Lee Iacocca may make head-
lines. But mild-mannered, steely leaders like
Darwin Smith of Kimberly-Clark boost their
companies to greatness—and keep them
there.
Example:
Darwin Smith—CEO at paper-products
maker Kimberly-Clark from 1971 to
1991—epitomizes Level 5 leadership.
Shy, awkward, shunning attention, he
also showed iron will, determinedly rede-
fining the firm’s core business despite
Wall Street’s skepticism. The formerly
lackluster Kimberly-Clark became the
worldwide leader in its industry, generat-
ing stock returns 4.1 times greater than
the general market’s.
HUMILITY + WILL = LEVEL 5
How do Level 5 leaders manifest humility?
They routinely credit others, external factors,
and good luck for their companies’ success.
But when results are poor, they blame them-
selves. They also act quietly, calmly, and deter-
minedly—relying on inspired standards, not
inspiring charisma, to motivate.
Inspired standards demonstrate Level 5 lead-
ers’ unwavering will. Utterly intolerant of me-
diocrity,.

What type of entrepreneur are you?
Uncovering and understanding your deeper motives is the first step toward becoming a successful entrepreneur or discovering that you are not cut out for its punishing demands -- the personal sacrifices, inevitable setbacks, relentless work, crushing time pressure, financial uncertainty and sleepless nights faced by 99 percent of entrepreneurs.
Derek Lidow, a veteran entrepreneur, author of Startup Leadership, and a professor in Entrepreneurship at Princeton University, provides a roadmap for determining your entrepreneur type.
Good to great
In his previous bestseller, Built to Last, Jim Collins explored what made great companies great and how they sustained that greatness over time.
One point kept nagging him, though — great companies have, for the most part, always been great, while a vast majority of good companies remain just that: good, but not great. What could merely good companies do to become great, to turn long-term weakness into long-term supremacy?
Collins and his team of researchers used strict benchmarks to identify a group of eleven elite companies that made the leap from good to great and sustained that greatness for at least fifteen years. The companies that made the list might surprise you as much as those left off (the likes of Intel, GE
and Coca Cola are nowhere to be found).
The real surprise of Good to Great isn’t so much what good companies do to propel themselves to greatness — it’s why more companies haven’t done the same things more often.
Michael dell's strategic leadership style
Michael Dell is one of is one of the most important leaders of the tech industry who managed to surpass computing companies by supplying custom built Pc-s without the need of manufacturing any components but choosing the best in class.
Dell has formed and shaped the company by leading and implementing change through dynamic capabilities which developed a culture based on flexibility able to create and adapt to all new models applied and provide the foundation strategy for many to follow.

The Founder's Mentality
Mr.Chris Zook is a partner in Bain & Company , an expert in discovering sources of “profitable growth” for his clients, and James Allen, co-leader of Bain’s Global Strategy practice, are the best-selling co-authors of four books on “how to win the external strategy game.”
Here, these forward thinkers address the fundamental conundrum of growth: In the process of growing, companies face proportionally increased “complexity,” which can stifle that growth. Zook and Allen describe three predictable crises related to growth.
• The first, “overload,” occurs when expanding organizations try to cope with scaling up but only generate internal strife.
• The second, “stall-out,” happens as “organizational complexity” increases rapidly, causing a sudden – and often permanent – slowdown in growth.
• And third, “free fall,” is an abrupt halt of primary market growth so sudden that management can’t cope with it. Companies that avoid or overcome these crises and embrace continued growth share one crucial commonality: a driven, visionary “founder” whose “mentality” permeates and shapes the organization’s culture.

Module 5 Assignment 1: LASA 2—Risk Management Applications
While there are many factors that lead to an organization's success or failure, it is important to identify the risk associated with the endeavor—financial or nonfinancial. Once the risks have been identified, management has a responsibility to develop measures to mitigate those risks.
Tasks:

M1 Assignment 3
and imagine it has made a strategic decision to start doing business in China. Using the discussion on page 192 of your textbook as a template, do the following:
Develop a brief country risk assessment.
Determine the political, economic, social, and capital risks associated with doing business in China. What are the most important factors to consider? Why?
After years of keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar, the Chinese have recently allowed it to float freely in international currency exchange rate markets. Many economists believe that keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar has caused it to be undervalued by 30 to 50 percent. Discuss what impact a revaluation of the Yuan might have on US multinationals doing business there, on China’s exports, and on Chinese citizens’ standard of living. What impact would a revaluation have on Chinese inflation and on purchasing power parity? Explain.
Your paper should be about 2,000 words.

What type of entrepreneur are you?
Uncovering and understanding your deeper motives is the first step toward becoming a successful entrepreneur or discovering that you are not cut out for its punishing demands -- the personal sacrifices, inevitable setbacks, relentless work, crushing time pressure, financial uncertainty and sleepless nights faced by 99 percent of entrepreneurs.
Derek Lidow, a veteran entrepreneur, author of Startup Leadership, and a professor in Entrepreneurship at Princeton University, provides a roadmap for determining your entrepreneur type.
Good to great
In his previous bestseller, Built to Last, Jim Collins explored what made great companies great and how they sustained that greatness over time.
One point kept nagging him, though — great companies have, for the most part, always been great, while a vast majority of good companies remain just that: good, but not great. What could merely good companies do to become great, to turn long-term weakness into long-term supremacy?
Collins and his team of researchers used strict benchmarks to identify a group of eleven elite companies that made the leap from good to great and sustained that greatness for at least fifteen years. The companies that made the list might surprise you as much as those left off (the likes of Intel, GE
and Coca Cola are nowhere to be found).
The real surprise of Good to Great isn’t so much what good companies do to propel themselves to greatness — it’s why more companies haven’t done the same things more often.

The Founder's Mentality
Mr.Chris Zook is a partner in Bain & Company , an expert in discovering sources of “profitable growth” for his clients, and James Allen, co-leader of Bain’s Global Strategy practice, are the best-selling co-authors of four books on “how to win the external strategy game.”
Here, these forward thinkers address the fundamental conundrum of growth: In the process of growing, companies face proportionally increased “complexity,” which can stifle that growth. Zook and Allen describe three predictable crises related to growth.
• The first, “overload,” occurs when expanding organizations try to cope with scaling up but only generate internal strife.
• The second, “stall-out,” happens as “organizational complexity” increases rapidly, causing a sudden – and often permanent – slowdown in growth.
• And third, “free fall,” is an abrupt halt of primary market growth so sudden that management can’t cope with it. Companies that avoid or overcome these crises and embrace continued growth share one crucial commonality: a driven, visionary “founder” whose “mentality” permeates and shapes the organization’s culture.
A quick summary and take away of this book which also has an Action plan for Leaders.

Module 5 Assignment 1: LASA 2—Risk Management Applications
While there are many factors that lead to an organization's success or failure, it is important to identify the risk associated with the endeavor—financial or nonfinancial. Once the risks have been identified, management has a responsibility to develop measures to mitigate those risks.
Tasks:
Use the publicly-traded company you chose in
M1 Assignment 3
and imagine it has made a strategic decision to start doing business in China. Using the discussion on page 192 of your textbook as a template, do the following:
Develop a brief country risk assessment.
Determine the political, economic, social, and capital risks associated with doing business in China. What are the most important factors to consider? Why?
After years of keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar, the Chinese have recently allowed it to float freely in international currency exchange rate markets. Many economists believe that keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar has caused it to be undervalued by 30 to 50 percent. Discuss what impact a revaluation of the Yuan might have on US multinationals doing business there, on China’s exports, and on Chinese citizens’ standard of living. What impact would a revaluation have on Chinese inflation and on purchasing power parity? Explain.
Your paper should be about 2,000 words.

After talking to Wanda's friends, the teacher finds out that Wanda's sixteen-year-old brother was killed in a gang fight two months ago and her parents have since separated. The teacher talks to her friend Daphne, a counselor, to see if there is anything she can do about Wanda. She wants to know if there is any way in which children and families affected by exposure to violence can be assisted with emotional impact of these events. The teacher also asks Daphne, in the role of a counselor, to call Wanda's parents to see if they would be willing to talk with her about the death of their son, their separation, and Wanda's behavior at school. Daphne is not employed or affiliated with the school.
What would be Daphne's role, as a counselor, in helping the teacher?
What do you see as important roles of a counselor working in a community?

Symbolism in Literature
A basic definition of a “symbol” is provided by teacherweb:
Symbol
: using an image to represent an idea. (Ex. Storms often symbolize impending disaster, red rose=love, dove=peace, black cat=bad luck, etc.). This is often accomplished in literature through
metaphors
and
similes.
Wordnet defines the term
“metaphor”
as:
(n)
Metaphor
- a figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity.
His heart was ripped from him by her cruelty and refusal to be his date at prom. His universe was collapsing around him, pieces thudding into his head and crushing all motive and happy thought.
Wordnet defines the term
“simile” as:
(n)
Simile
a figure of speech that expresses a resemblance between things of different kinds, usually formed with `like' or `as.'
He wept like a little girl who lost her favorite Barbie. He vowed, next time, to fight like a tiger to win her love or at least a date.
(a simile typically offers a comparison signal, i.e. “like” or “as.”)
The novel
Montana, 1948
by Larry Watson is filled with powerful symbolism. Your assignment for this essay is to choose one of the Review questions (included here) and write 3 page response.

CRJ 307: Police, Society, and Community Service
Essays:
Police deviance is said to be behavior that does not conform to the standards of norms or expectations. Identify and discuss the three major sources of those standards. Is one source more important than the others?
Worden identified five ways in which police officers are different from one another. List and discuss those five ways.
Contrast socialization theory and pre-dispositional theory.
Module 5
Chapter 8 Summary
Chapter 8 looks at police behavior. Police behavior may be described from a universalistic perspective or a particularistic perspective. The universalistic perspective examines the ways in which police are similar. The particularistic perspective examines the way in which police differ from each other.
The universalistic perspective approaches police behavior from three perspectives. The sociological perspective emphasizes the social context in which the police are hired and trained. The psychological perspective examines the nature of the police personality. The organizational perspective is concerned with the formal and informal factors of the department.
Particularistic perspectives examine the different policing styles discovered through research. Worden (1989) suggests that there are five ways in which police differ from one another. Police are different in their view of human nature, role orientation, and attitudes toward legal and departmental restrictions. Worden also found that the beliefs and behavior of the police are influenced by their clientele. The final difference involves the relationship between management and peer group support.
Socialization theory maintains that it is the work experience and the peers that determine police behavior. The formal socialization takes place during training the new officer. The informal socialization takes places as the new officer interacts with experienced fellow officers.
Pre-dispositional theory states that the values and characteristics the officer had before employment are brought with him or her to the job. Research indicates that police have different values from the rest of society. Racial and ethnic differences, education, and police socialization does little to changes pre-dispositional values.
There have been numerous studies conducted looking at police behavior. This chapter recognizes that these studies are just as important today as they were decades ago. Westley's
Violence and the Police
(1970) discussed in-group solidarity among the police and the code of silence found to exist in policing. Skolnick's
Justice Without Trial
(1966) examined the danger in police work. Skolnick termed the person the police officer thinks is potentially dangerous the symbolic assailant.
Wilson's
Variety of Police Behavior
(1968) may be seen as the most important study of police behavior. Wilson identified three styles of policing. In the wat.

Preamble
Human services is a profession developing in
response to and in anticipation of the direction of
human needs and human problems in the late twentieth
century. Characterized particularly by an appreciation
of human beings in all of their diversity,
human services offer assistance to its clients within
the context of their community and environment.
Human service professionals and those who educate

uphold the integrity and ethics of the profession, partake
in constructive criticism of the profession, promote
client and community well-being, and enhance
their own professional growth.
The ethical guidelines presented are a set of standards
of conduct which the human service professionals
and educators consider in ethical and
professional decision making. It is hoped that these
guidelines will be of assistance when human service
professionals and educators are challenged by difficult
ethical dilemmas.
Although ethical codes are not legal documents,
they may be used to assist in the adjudication of
issues related to ethical human service behavior.
Section I—Standards of Human Service Professionals
Human service professionals function in many
ways and carry out many roles. They enter into
professional-client relationships with individuals,
families, groups and communities who are all referred
to as “clients” in these standards. Among their roles
are caregiver, case manager, broker, teacher/educator,
behavior changer, consultant, outreach professional,
mobilizer, advocate, community planner, community
change organizer, evaluator and administrator
(SREB, 1967). The following standards are written
with these multifaceted roles in mind.
The Human Service Professional’s Responsibility
to Clients
STATEMENT 1
Human service professionals
negotiate with clients the purpose, goals, and nature
of the helping relationship prior to its onset as well as
inform clients of the limitations of the proposed
relationship.
STATEMENT 2
Human service professionals
respect the integrity and welfare of the client at all
times. Each client is treated with respect, acceptance,
and dignity.

Moose, a former professional athlete, now supplements his income by .docx
Moose, a former professional athlete, now supplements his income by signing autographs at collectors’ shows. Unfortunately, Moose has not been conscientious about reporting all of this income on his tax return. Now, the IRS has charged him with additional taxes of $80,000 due to negligence in his record-keeping and $20,000 due to an intent to defraud the U.S. government of income taxes. No criminal fraud charges are brought against Moose. The District Court finds, by a preponderance of the evidence, that only half of the $20,000 underpayment was due to Moose’s fraudulent action; the remainder was due to mere negligence. Compute the accuracy-related and civil fraud penalties in this matter.

Michael Dell began building and selling computers from his dorm room.docx
- 1. Michael Dell began building and selling computers from his dorm room at age 19. He dropped out of the University of Texas when his sales hit $60 million and has never looked back. Dell is said to be the fifteenth richest man in America, and the youngest CEO to make the Fortune 500. Intensely private and notoriously shy, Dell is hailed as a corporate wonder-kid. He climbed to the top by exploiting tax loopholes, outsourcing the competition, and inventing a term called “leveraged recapitalization.” First, review the following case study: Michael Dell—The man behind Dell: Leading Dell into the future Then, address the following tasks: Analyze Dell’s philosophy as it relates to the role of change in organizational success. Determine how Dell’s philosophy would be perceived in a low performing culture. Identify which performing culture best suits your philosophy regarding change management and provide your rationale. Consider the way Dell started his company; determine what market conditions made the business possible. Discuss Dell’s approach to building his brand. Develop a 4–6-slide presentation in PowerPoint format, utilizing at least two scholarly sources (in addition to your textbook) to complete your research, ensuring you cite references within the text and at the end in a reference list. Apply APA standards to the citation of sources. Make sure you write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship through accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
