Project management describes the application of processes, techniques, skills, knowledge, and experience with the aim to accomplish project objectives. A project becomes successful when the objectives are attained in accordance to the acceptance criteria and within an agreed budget and timeline. Given that project management has a final deliverable and timeline, project managers often need to possess range of skills that include technical and people management skills. These skills are not only needed when evaluating and reporting project activities, but also play a key role during the decision making process and other important activities such as hiring and recruitment, and conducting employee evaluations (Gillard, 2017). The subsequent sections provide a comprehensive discussion of major elements of the project management process. These include the different types of organizational structures, role of project managers, human resources factors that affect the project management process, and conflict resolution techniques applied by managers. The analysis includes description of leadership approaches, ethical dilemmas commonly faced by managers, project procurement tools, and role of technology.
Describe the different organizational structures as it relates to project management (i.e., functional, project-based, matrix).
According to Fairfield (2016), an organizational structure refers to a system that describes a hierarchy in an organization. Apart from identifying various jobs and their functions, an organizational structure also outlines the manner in which various operations are conducted to enable the organization accomplish its goals and objectives. Examples of organizational structures include the functional, project-based, and matrix. Each of these structures have their own advantages and drawbacks, and tend to work well for organizations in specific situations.
The functional organizational structure entails dividing an organization into small groups with specific roles and tasks. From a project management perspective, there could be one group to work on technology-related issues, and another group overseeing operations and financing of project activities. A major advantage of utilizing this type of structure in project management is that it becomes easier to focus on executing project activities since the project team is grouped based on the skills set and function. A disadvantage of functional organizational structure is the absence of inter-group communication. For example, one group engaged in a given task may have varying expectations for its specific job, a situation that can lead into conflict .

Introduction
Effective leadership is all about communicating effectively. While hiring a manager, good communication skill is a primary component to put into consideration. Helping a manager to make sure that persuasion, responsibility, creativity, and management of value system as well as providing support and motivation to teams. They should have the power to inspire and convince teams to work extra hard to achieve the targeted goals of the organization. Made possible by effective leading. Sound planning, monitoring and communicating. Effective communication acts as an added advantage for a leader to lead effectively (Armstrong & Michael, 2016). The question, what are the key points managers must keep vividly in their minds while communicating with their teams and suggestions to improve communication to make leadership more effective is a topic of discussion in every organization. Thus, forms the basis of our discussion.
Effective and accurate communication act as an essential factor to grow an efficient and successful leader or manager. To accomplish professional success, managers must be active and convincing communicators. It is very vital for managers and his team to learn how to communicate effectively and to aid in successfully completing projects and enable the organization to achieve success and grow. As if that is not enough, communication allows every employee to share what they have and give their opinions. Good communication yields better understanding and trust among people, empower them to follow core principles and values that their leaders want to inculcate in them (Armstrong & Michael, 2016). Lack or absence of excellent communication leads to failure to reach goals and the overall decline of the organization. Interacting with the team freely, a manager will increase the potential of having the work done in time. Good leaders are always aware that effective communication is obtained through just a single process. It is through listening and speaking that managers are said to have good communication. Managers should hence set aside objective that they must achieve after communicating.
Review and understand the types of project manager power listed and defined in the textbook and select and define any two you feel would be relevant to your current project and explain why. Be specific
There are five types of project power manager; formal or legitimate power, reward power, punishment power, expert power, and relational power. One can have all these powers, but to complete the project, I will need to have at least four of them (Heldman & Kim, 2018). Since am doing my final project on leading and managing the Human Resource project, I will consider expert and reward powers. Formal power will help me to establish my own authority as the lead of the project, while expert power will help me gain .

Change Management as a discipline began to emerge in the 1980s driven by leading consulting firms working with Fortune 50 companies. Early adopters, such as GE, Ford, and AT&T, were very large corporations that could derive significant savings through more efficiently implementing new programs and were accustomed to cutting edge thought leadership roles. This work resulted in early Change Management models such as GE’s Change Acceleration Process (CAP) and John Kotter’s Eight Step Process for Leading Change. At this time, Change Management offerings were mostly available through consulting services, with a limited number of books and textbooks available.
During the 1990s, industries undergoing significant and rapid change in areas such as information technology and human resources began highlighting the benefits of Change Management programs on a broader scale. The experiences, consequences, and costs of implementing change without a structured approach has helped employees and organizations embrace Change Management tools. Though use of Change Management was still limited primarily to large corporations in the habit of regularly utilizing professional consulting firms, Change Management was receiving more and more visibility and credibility.
The 2000’s marked widespread acceptance of Change Management as a business competency for leading change. This shift increased the credibility of Change Management in the business world and with project teams. The benchmarking data on ‘use of a methodology’ shows a marked increase from 34% in 2003 to 72% in 2011. The value of Change Management was further validated through additional research on the impact of Change Management on business success by Prosci, IBM and McKinsey.
The market for Change Management tools and training grew rapidly through this period, with as many as 320 consulting firms identified as offering Change Management services by 2011. Some were established with their.

Experience in Solving a Problem
Summary overview of my experience in creative problem solving
Creative problem solving is an important tool in any organization for keeping good working relations in the workplace. It involves all the parties concerned with the problem hence encouraging different forms of creating thinking like group solutions, and brainstorming among others[footnoteRef:1]. In the past, I have been involved in numerous situations that required creative problem-solving. I realized that creative problem solving plays a crucial role in the process of making sure employees are able to address the issues they face as they discharge their work obligations. In such situations, I could engage all the employees and ensure they all participate in the process of coming up with the best solution. This could entail employees having representatives because all employees could not be engaged. The representatives would give their opinions concerning the best way to address the problem. I remember one day we had issues with increased costs of operating and the organization had to come up with strategies that could help in enhancing efficiency. All the staff members in my department were engaged to suggest their solutions to the problem. This is the time I realized the power of working in groups when addressing a problem affecting all the employees. In the decision-making process, giving the parties involved the chance to give their opinions concerning the problem makes others gain some more insights concerning the issue at hand. Engagement in problem-solving provides the opportunity for the members affected by the problem to share on the best strategies that can be embraced to address the issue. The different solutions can be analyzed and evaluated with the aim of settling on the best solution that is innovative and creative. [1: Proctor, Tony. Creative problem solving for managers: developing skills for decision making and innovation. Routledge, 2014.]
I consider creative problem solving to be an important way of helping the decision makers to think outside the box. This entails thinking outside confines of what is acceptable to obtain the best solution for the problem. Being innovative in analyzing and evaluating possible solutions leads to the most creative solutions[footnoteRef:2]. For example, horizontal and vertical thinking are major modes of thinking that can help one to think outside the box. As a result, the best ideas can be provided to assist in the process of solving a problem in a creative manner. It takes courage for people to step out in new continuous innovations aimed at developing the best solutions. For example, in the workplace, we could encounter many situations that needed creative problem-solving in order to stay competitive in the market. This mostly involved the products and services offered to the customers as we were looking for the best ways that the customers could be sati.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
