Professional Ethics
Humanistic Values
Organizational development (OD) practitioners traditionally encouraged having valued human beings, open communications, employment involvement, and personal growth. These values emerged at the end of World War II on both sides of the Atlantic. They were strengthened by early experiments in British coal mines and studies carried out in a plant in Illinois. These studies demonstrated that paying attention to workers improved productivity. Numerous studies that followed have demonstrated again and again that people do matter and are quite capable. When redesigning organizations, it is wise to use these early lessons as well as research performed by behavioral economists.
Helping Relationships
Helping can take on numerous forms and carries personal responsibility. The responsibilities for an OD consultant working on team building may be different from those of one working on organizational redesign, but they have many of the same issues with which to contend. Both can have a major impact not only on productivity and efficiency but on people’s lives as well.
As previously mentioned, organizational development practitioners are members of the helping profession and like the other helping professions, they have a professional code of ethics because their work has direct ethical implications on individuals, organizations, and society.
Ethical Dilemmas
Though having and following an ethical code can prevent problems, OD practitioners do encounter ethical dilemmas in their work. As with most ethical problems that emerge, individuals and organizations do not start out wanting to be unethical; they generally just slide into unethical behavior because they do not stop and reflect, or are in a big hurry to accomplish something or get specific results.
Value Conflict and Misplaced Interest
Not taking the time to adequately address value differences, taking shortcuts, misusing data, using coercion to save time or money, and misrepresenting skills or knowledge are major causes of ethical misdeeds and corporate failures. Taking the time to be ethical is good business not only for the OD practitioner but for the entire organization
Organizational Diagnosis
Before taking action, it is necessary to understand the situation. Organizational diagnosis is the process the consultant goes through to understand the current situation and includes the following:
· Determining an appropriate diagnostic strategy
· Gathering data through review of important organizational documents
· Developing an interview and research protocol
· Data gathering including conducting interviews
· Analysis of qualitative and quantitative data
· Assessment of information
· Discussing potential options with key organizational leaders and stakeholders to determine what is to be done and how to implement an intervention
An organizational diagnosis needs to be done before beginning.

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

You can greatly increase creativity and problem solving with the use of cross–functional teams
because of their composition. Members of cross–functional teams come with a diversity of
experience, expertise, and knowledge. This diversity can help broaden perspectives and create
synergy, where interaction of the members create a greater effect than the sum effects of each
member acting alone, leading to a high level of creativity.
Cross–functional teams are not without disadvantages. The team can take significantly longer to
develop cohesion because members come from different experiences and backgrounds. Moreover, a
team leader must take care managing team relationships carefully because there may be a high level
of conflict in these teams due to unit rivalry, egos, and possible conflict between the interests of the
various parts of the organization represented by team
10. Risk Assessment As A Way Of Profiling Risk
Risk refers to a likelihood, probability, a chance that a loss may occur in a given organization. Most
of the times, there is a high risk when there is vulnerability. In this case, vulnerability refers to a
weakness that the organization has. Risk assessment refers to the process of identification of
potential hazards and proper analysis of the expected losses if those hazards occur (Homeland
Security, n.d.). Risk assessment as a way of profiling risk according to impact to the organization.
Some organizations have business impact analysis exercises geared towards determination of
potential hazards based risk assessment approaches. Organizations' risk differ depending on the size
and the type of business they are doing. The disparity in organizations' risk call for different
adaptation of risk assessment approaches. Even with the disparities of the businesses, proper risk
management not only ranks the risks according to the seriousness but also identifies the best
methods to control risks in an organization.
Good risk assessment requires an elaborate plan. A risk management plan is a project management
type that helps ensure that an organization reaches desired goals in a given project (Gibson, 2010).
Like every plan, caution should be taken to make sure that goals of the assessment are achievable
given the best accommodation of time and cost. This calls for organization to have a risk scope. Risk
scope simply identifies the boundaries of a given risk assessment. This is

It could result in failure to make timely decisions either to take advantage of emerging opportunities
or to respond to market fluctuations that could have negative impacts on the organization (Crant,
440, 2000). The tall structure does not support innovative organizations in which lower level non–
managerial members, most of whom are technical professionals, have to contribute ideas toward
developing better product offerings. This is the appropriate structure for City College because it now
has a large number of employees, something that will require order within its ranks. In addition, the
tall structure does not require much input from lower levels during the decision–making process. A
short structure on the other hand has few hierarchal levels. It is very effective in an organization
where there is direct involvement by the owner or where contributions from low– level professionals
and free flow of information are encouraged. Another culture that supports this structure is the
laissez–faire management environment in which employees are left to their own devices in
accomplishing tasks with very little supervision. Such a structure works extremely well in the
described cultures and leads to higher productivity. However, in a large organization with numerous
products or covering wide geographical regions, it becomes ineffective because there are no clear
reporting hierarchies. It could lead to disharmony and confusion. In

The single most critical problem that the managers are facing today is managing the people.This is

Organizational behaviour is the study of individual, group and organization as a whole that

Organisational theory and management is applied in different ways in business, for a staff to become
productive in their job they must adhere to the theory to help them become successful in their duties,
even though doing this may course them to loosing up in their personal believes and principle. In
this same manner management theory can underpin the principle and believes of an individual, but
for a manager to carry out their duties successfully they have to first put the company first before

requiring constant input of information in order to continue functioning systemically and
productively; assumes that a lack of information will lead to chaos in organizational operations
(p.165). Decision making includes making a choice to alter some existing condition, choosing one
course of action in preference to others, expending some amount of organizational assets or
individual resources to implement the decision, and acting with the expectation of gaining
something desirable (p.194). Things that are important to the decision–making process includes
increasing potential gains, monitoring the ongoing decisional process, and reducing the resource
expenditure, uncertainty, and risk involved in achieving whatever gains are made (p. 195). Through
every carefully thought out decision the government makes on behalf of its citizens there are risks

IT department managers should first try and understand the team capacity and availability for a
project identify the feasibility of achieving the same in the given timelines and accordingly plan for
the resource allocation. This has to be communicated clearly to the business team manager in a
meeting and come to a common conclusion. Important Issues In an organization, it is of utmost
importance to have clear communication channels between the various departments that are
functioning. In the absence of proper communication, there will be lack of clarity in thought and
action. Once a project is taken up, managers across both the teams involved need to communicate
adequately the strategies to be followed, the implementation and the possible issues that could arise
in the future in order to ensure that the deliverables are met within the timelines. In order to have an
effective relationship with business managers, IT managers need to first understand that they also
belong to the same company in which the former do. Any employee of an organization should put
his/her individual interests below the interests of the organization as a whole. This holds good to an
IT manager too. When he/she starts thinking from a perspective that both these teams go hand in
hand and one cannot sustain without the other, there will definitely be a good rapport with the
business department. It is equally important for the team members of

47. Culture and Structure
Some form of organizational culture and structure exist in every organization. Successful
organizations are often credited with having an appropriate organizational culture and/or structure in
place that allows them to reach success. Many companies can believe that they have the needed
structure in place to assure success; yet they fail where others succeed. Some work very well, and
some just do not work at all. For any organizational culture and structure to function properly, it
seems as though alignment within the organization towards these end goals is necessary. In
organizations, upper management determines the company vision (its desired end state) as well as its
mission and strategy to achieve this ultimate goal. The ability of an ... Show more content on

As the organization 's culture matures, employees will learn the pivotal values and norms from the
organization 's formal socialization practices and from the signs, symbols, stories, rites, ceremonies
and organizational language that develop informally. Organizational culture is shaped by the
interaction of four main factors: the personal and professional characteristics of people within the
organization, organizational ethics, the nature of employment relationship, and the design of its
organizational structure. These factors work together to produce different cultures in different
organizations and cause changes in culture over time.
Green River 's culture can change if it alters its organizational structure and empower self–managed
teams. Mechanistic structures give rise to very different sets of norms, rules and cultural values than
do organic structures. In a flat decentralized structure, people have more freedom to choose and
control their own activities, and desirable instrumental values include being creative or courageous
and taking risks. Thus, an organic structure is likely to give rise to a culture in which innovation and
flexibility are desired terminal values (George & Jones, p.547).

Informed decision–making is an important aspect for working in the government. According to
Milakovich and Gordon, provide some examples of how information technology can be used to
assist bureaucrats in decision–making? The depth and quality of knowledge used by policy makers
can influence the effectiveness of policies. According to Milakovich and Gordon, competitive
political forces constantly push elected representatives to focus on immediate political decisions,
rather than on long term professional–administrative values such as efficient use of resources and
increased productivity (p.431). During President Bush' election he used certain failures of the past

Information theory is the modern theory of organization that views organizations as requiring
constant input of information in order to continue functioning systemically and productively;
assumes that a lack of information will lead to chaos in organizational operations (p.165). Decision
making includes making a choice to alter some existing condition, choosing one course of action in
preference to others, expending some amount of organizational assets or individual resources to
implement the decision, and acting with the expectation of gaining something desirable (p.194).
Things that are important to the decision–making process includes increasing potential gains,
monitoring the ongoing decisional process, and reducing the resource expenditure, uncertainty, and
risk involved in achieving whatever gains are made (p. 195). Through every carefully thought out
decision the government makes on behalf of its citizens there are risks involved. A risk involved in
routine decision making is that decision makers may fail to perceive a need to reconsider existing
policy or program assumptions on which routine decisions are based (p.195). Milakovich and
Gordon state that central to decision making elements is the quality and quantity of information
available. Decision makers needs to be informed to serve as a basis for

Human resources management is where everything begins and ends for an individual an
organization. It's where the total processes are created and initiated. Examples of these processes
are: planning, communication, motivation, code of ethics, decisions, forecasting, total
compensation, diversity, discrimination, records, rights protection, leadership, career development,
training, hiring, performance appraisal, equal employment opportunity, empowerment, promotion,
recruitment. Human resources management also, sets strategic processes and procedures, run
difficult and complex communication as they attract the best talents for an organization. These
processes no doubt cause HRM to face many challenges for an organization and the individual.
Challenges for the organization may include: communication, competitive positions; – cost, quality,
distinctive capabilities, decentralization, downsizing, organizational restricting, self–managed work
team, small business, organizational culture, technology and outsourcing. Challenges for the
individual are matching people and organization, ethical dilemma and social responsibility,
productivity, empowerment, brain–drain, and job security. In order to meet the challenges head on,
human resources management must be able to identify the problem and be proactive by taking

disaster/incident but if an incident occurs, it can have a disastrous effect causing the company
operation to become unstable and having the inability to contain or control its impact can halt the
business routine (Vacca, 2013).
Also, creating a good working relationship with the law enforcement can assist in aiding an
organization with an incident. Although organizations will sometimes not notify or include LE with

Use of advanced security information and event management solution is in place in order to capture

constantly monitoring the network for any anomalies and having an alert/notification system. Alert
and notification system will allow for the organizations incident response team/plan to be activated
and take necessary steps to isolate the incident, contain, and take necessary action to resolve the
issue. Additionally, organization needs to have in–depth defense security architecture to protect their
infrastructure. Administrative, technical, and physical security controls are only a few of them that
can be used to protect their asset. Administrative control can implement policy for employees to take

another to accomplish common goals is challenging. In the given situation, a virtual team with

Brazil, Japan, Germany, Israel and China are the places where my team players come from. Working

also expect the group to confront many challenges such as communication, technology use, cultural
differences, different time zones, and self–management. The first major challenge is
communication. Team members from entirely different cultures are required to communicate to get
the work done. Within the team, there are many communication preferences such as using E–mails,
Instant Messaging, Skype, Video Conferencing, and discussion boards. My job as a leader is to
consider each member's strengths, weaknesses, and that some of them have never experienced being
in a virtual team. That is, I will evaluate each communication preference and choose one way to

75. Business Management And The Future Business Model
Introduction
Since the beginning of the twentieth century has seen a growing interest in entrepreneurial activities
and to the characteristics of governance models. This news is not surprising, since many areas of
human activity understand that when using the correct scientific approach to the organization of the
production process can be achieved the highest productivity. A number of key issues arise from the
statement. For instance, entrepreneurship despite its relatively short period of time has passed a long
way of evolution from a rather banal management practices to modern and innovative technologies
and methods of business management. Business management can be considered a system of
economic analysis of the company. Therefore, the strategy of operation and development of any
enterprise is impossible without competent use of principles, methods, forms and techniques of
governance. Creation and organization of ideas are the main factors affecting the quality and
viability of the future business model. Thus, business management is a scientific approach based on
the analysis of data to achieve the goal by applying the rational use of material and labor resources
of the enterprise. This review will show the most interesting moments connected with business
management, and we will try to understand the two most common methods of management.

Change management is a very painful process and it often erupted into argument. Analyze if agile
techniques should be considered in solving Primavera's problems. Support your response Agile
techniques should be used to solve the current issues faced by the company as agile techniques
normally being used by the software industry help the business to act in response under the
unpredictable situations faced. In Agile methodologies opportunities are been provided to evaluate
whether the project is under the direction all through its development cycle. All this is being
accomplished with the help of regular tempo kept in work, and the teams must show a product
which is having the desired potential. Focus is kept on the recurrence of condensed work cycles and
also at the functional product yielded by the outcome, but in waterfall technique only once chance is
been given to the development team to keep the project aspects right. But under the agile technique
each and every feature of development including the design, requirements, is thoroughly checked
under its lifecycle (Mahfuj et al, 2012). There is always some time to steer in another direction if a
team stops at regular interval say after every two weeks and re–evaluates the project done. This

83. Plan for Managing an International Team
Part 1. Team Organization The purpose of this plan for managing the international team is to
increase the probability that the relationships of team members are viable, that team members feel
recognized and valued, and that the productivity of the teams is optimized. In addition, this
management plan is designed to ensure that travel expenses and travel time is reduced to the
minimum necessary for effective productivity. Further, the philosophy of the company has always
been that a diverse team permits a deeper range of professional experience and knowledge than a
homogeneous team. A typical hierarchical arrangement will not meet the needs of the virtual teams,
and a primary goal of mine is to ensure that the management structure is as facile as necessary to
ensure fluid functioning. For this reason, team leaders in each country will be expected to study and
learn about the various cultures in which they conduct business, both with their internal teams and
with contractors.
Team leaders will be responsible for the organization of their teams and for the collaboration across
teams, which is vital to product. My role in this management plan is indirect and focuses on
oversight of the teams, while direct responsibility for team functioning rests with the team leaders. I

87. Technology Implementation in Companies: An Overview
Technology Implementation: The implementation of new technology in a company is usually an
enormous process with potential difficulties that may have long–term impact on the organization. In
most cases, the implementation of technology usually involves installation of new software and
hardware that the technology will operate on. This process also involves the range of possible and
unavoidable problems that are associated with human factors, which are totally unpredictable.
Consequently, the implementation of technology requires an organization to appreciate the fact that
conflicts may arise in order to anticipate significant trouble spots, avoid problems, and lessen the
problems significantly. New technologies are regarded as mechanisms developed to make human
work easier since they provide fast and quality services. In order to meet the evolving needs and
demands of the public, many companies across various industries are adapting and implementing
new technologies.
Important Considerations in the Implementation of Technology: The effectiveness of the
implementation of technology usually involves some important considerations by the organization.
First, the management of the company needs to understand that new technologies or systems do not
guarantee a one–size–fits–all solution to the existing problems experienced by the organization
(Carcone, 2008). Secondly, the whole process of implementation incorporates the entire business

The company has a strong terminal value of supporting a long–term investment philosophy. Two of
the instrumental values used to achieve this are being courageous, and exercising self–discipline.
One instance that showed both of these values was during the late 1990s. At that time, investments
in technology companies, and the technology sector of the financial markets had been increasing at a
high rate of return. This organization did not spend disproportionate resources creating or
maintaining products to "chase" the returns on technology investments. That would be considered
contrary to the company value of long–term investing. This showed both courage and self–
discipline.
A strong strategy is another factor that is prevalent in this organization. One of the strategies,
directed towards institutional investors, is to position the company as the total retirement provider.
This concept is a part of everyday dealings with the clients. For example, when there are discussions
with a company about that client's main retirement plan, the presentation is made to service other
retirement vehicles that the company may have. However, this organization does not seek to provide
non–retirement services, such as payroll, to their clients. This well defines strategy is important
within the company.

Florida Hospital was founded in Orlando by the Seventh Day Adventist church in 1908. It is part of
a 46–hospital network, with 20 nursing homes and 25 health care agencies extending across 12
states that make up Adventist Health System (AHS). AHS is one of the nation's largest hospital
systems, and is a not–for–profit healthcare organization.
The Florida Hospital name consists of nine campuses within Central Florida. AHS has an additional
twenty–eight total campuses throughout Florida that also bear the Florida Hospital name. The nine
campuses within central Florida total 2,247 beds and make it the largest single provider of Medicare
services in the United States.
Linen utilization is a backstage service that is critical for hospital functioning. There is an awareness
deficiency of how much linen loss has an effect on the hospital's bottom line might make a
significant contribution to the improper use of linen. Clinical and significant healthcare support
service staffs are in the front–line of linen utilization and would therefore be the appropriate
representative to disclose how they see the linen leaving the hospital, how the current process may
be improved, and what additional training would be effective. However, there has been limited
attention or resources invested for its proper functioning which heightened the team's interest to tap
possible improvement opportunities.

healthcare field. A team is described as a group of people that works together and cooperatively,
between each member of the group to reach a common goal (Sullivan, 2013). For a team to function,
communication is essential. A report by McKay and Crippen (2008), as stated by Alfaro–LeFevre,
(2013) showed that when collaboration is in place, hospitals can decrease their mortality rate by
41%. When mortality rate is lower, hospitals does not only decreased cost, but it also means that
patients are receiving good quality care. In the hospital, a team includes a CEO, managers,
supervisors, charge nurses, medical doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, social workers and
maintenance crews; it can also include many other members. In addition, a well–functioning team is
led by a good leader; a leader does not necessary mean the CEO, but someone who is driven,
knowledgeable, and a good communicator. Charge nurse and nurses are normally the one that
handles the care of patients in the hospital. Both charge nurses and nurses can be considered leaders.
It is why, it is very crucial that nurses are good communicators. One would say that nurses are the
spoke person of a hospital to its patients. The nurses care for their patient closely, they communicate
with the doctors regarding the care of the patient; they communicate with the pharmacies, nursing
assistant, colleagues, and many more. Those

141. Functions Of An Effective Group
An effective group or team carries out various task functions to perform its work successfully. There
are various maintenance functions to ensure member satisfaction and to ensure there is a sense of
team spirit. Teams that successfully fulfill these functions afford their members the potential for the
social benefits of psychological intimacy and integrated involvement we discussed at the beginning
of the chapter. Task functions are those activities directly related to the effective completion of the
team's work. For example, the task of initiating activity involves suggesting ideas, defining
problems, and proposing approaches and/or solutions to problems. A main task that is carried out is
researching information. It may sound easy to look up something on the internet, but are the results
going to have quality? Each member of a group should be assigned a sub–topic to start researching
on. All of that information can be put together to support the main topic. The group should include
details of: The topic's origin Background information Supporting theories Any possible facts
Finding the sources Maintenance functions enhance togetherness, cooperation, and teamwork,
enabling members to achieve psychological intimacy while furthering the success of the team. Jody

The success of a firm depends very much on the way the personals there are performing. So the firm
have to focus on maintain proper relationship among individuals working there. In doing so,
managers need to learn about organizational behavior, why and how individuals behave in a certain
situation, and how to influence their behavior. The business I want to do in future is a restaurant
business. It will be a traditional UK restaurant with south Asian flavor. The verity of dishes from
south Asia will be combined with UK's traditional dishes. People who look for something new will
be our target and the cost of food will not be too high. Our customers will be middle class people
who love food. At first I will start small but gradually I will expand my business. And in future, I'd
like to own a chain of restaurant. The aim of my business will be sufficient profit, proper
management, serving food lovers at low cost and gradually grow in a big chain of restaurants. I'd
like to manage my business all by myself, which will give me sole authority but I want to use
participative leadership style in managing business. My business will demand some employees from
south Asia and as I want to combine south Asian flavor with traditional UK flavor, I will also need
some UK citizens as my employees. I will have to deal with cultural diversity and solve the various
conflicts arising from them. So I need a proper understanding of

153. B & IT School Virtualization Report
A more proficient IT infrastructure is required as the use of more software increases the needs of
powerful and faster PCs. One of the trends that can help this issue is Virtualization. This technology
is described as the "abstraction" of the physical elements (such as network resources, operating
system and storage) into virtual ones (Portnoy, 2012, p.2). Virtualization allows a physical machine
to run several virtual machines (VM). B&IT School is a quite famous school of Sydney which is
imaginary. Courses of Business and Information Technology have been offered for the last 10 years.
This education institute has been recognized for the varieties of IT courses delivered with up–to–
date infrastructure. Due to the high costs, the IT system has experienced delays in hardware and
software upgrades. Most applications used on courses are running on local computers requiring
good functioning computers. This creates challenges for students enrolled in Software Development
because they cannot practice with newer technologies. Therefore, students have some difficulties in
performing daily learning activities. After receiving several students' complaints regarding poor
desktops' performance over the last year, the organization has decided to analyze the current system
to provide suitable solutions. One of the solutions for the B&IT School is implementing a
