The Failure of Theory to Predict the Way Public Sector Organisation Responds to its Organisational Environment and the Need for a Mosaic-View of Organisational Theory Bryane Michael & Maja Popov Published online: 25 November 2014 # Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 Abstract What does theory predict about the way government size and structure adapts to changes in government’s organisational environment (particularly to uncertainty and complexity)? In this paper, we review the theory and evidence from the literature about the way government size adjusts to such changes – particularly to changes in macroeconomic fundamentals like gross national prod- uct (GDP). We find that the traditional theories from the organisational theory literature—like the contingency-based view, resource-based view and the rational choice view – fail to provide global explanations for much of the variation we see in the world around us. Instead, theorists need to adopt a “mosaic view” of organisational theory – accepting that different theories may explain the way public sector size and structure responds to the uncertainty and variability in its (macroeconomic) organisational environment. We also provide several empirical hypotheses to test such a mosaic-view. Keywords Contingency theory. Public sector organisational theory. Resource-based view. Size of government .

Popov General Secretariat of the Government of Serbia, 11 Nemanjina St., Belgrade, Serbia Introduction Despite over 40 years of theorizing about public sector organisation, we still know very little about how government responds to changes in its organisational environment. A variety of theories predict how government size and structure should respond to the national macroeconomic environment it regulates (as well as buys and sells labour, capital and goods in). Contingency theorists argue – though are now in relative disrepute – that government departments and agencies grow, shrink, divide and/or merge in response to changes in the macroeconomic environment (Gupta et al. 1994). Resource-based theorists – and their newer off-spring who write about “competencies” – argue that these government departments morph, depending on the resources (budgetary, staffing, know-how and so forth) they already have available – or can obtain through bureaucratic and/or political means (Bryson et al. 2007). Rational-choice theorists, and select scholars in public administration, argue that government organisational structure does (or sho.

Project Plan Project Overview Statement, Part II Conversion of Legacy Database to New ERP Software Member 1 Member 2 Member 3 Member 4 PROJ-584 Managing Software Development Projects Professor Name School Name October 7, 2018 Project Plan Project Overview Statement Executive Summary Team #3 is proposing a software development/upgrade project to move from the legacy software/database MANFACT, to SyteLine® ERP inventory and financial database, to meet the needs of the growing business. This project is in line with the strategic objective of increasing sales and improving customer satisfaction by improving on time delivery at the Los Angeles, CA facility. This ERP software is in use at other facilities in the parent organization for many years now and has been successful in improving performance and delivery as well as reduced inventory levels and improved sales and bookings. This project has a preliminary budget of $500,000 with a duration of 12 -18 months. Statement of Scope This project will be company-wide and implemented in all departments and areas of the company. The new software Syteline® (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZLEMmqTdoE), will reduce the amount of manual tracking of jobs (phone calls, emails, manual excel schedules, attending department meetings, etc.) by providing real-time communication of timelines and part movement and flow throughout the shop and along with status of open programs or large jobs. It will also improve On Time Delivery (OTD) performance through enhanced planning and scheduling of orders. Reduction of lead times (customer delivery) through the elimination of wasted processes and excessive move and queue times built in because of manual processes. We intend to complete this transformation by: · Converting existing data into the new ERP database. · Upgrade server and network equipment to meet increased traffic demands. · Run pilot programs in parallel to test and verify new process capabilities. · Create standard work for each department · Train all employees that would use this system from managers to leads, from sales to production, and engineering to purchasing. Project Organization (MARC) This software upgrade will be in alignment with the organization's strat.

The federal government has assumed responsibility for educating children living on federal property since the 1800s by paying those children’s school tuition. The advent of the Korean War led to a significant increase in military housing. Military installations began building schools on federal properties in the southern states in the early 1950s. There are several reasons why military children began attending schools on military installations rather than the local public schools, also known as Local Education Activities (LEAs). One significant reason is related to desegregation. Desegregation in the U.S. Military occurred prior to desegregation in public education. To support its own desegregation policies and the type of community these policies fostered, the government established desegregated schools for the children of military personnel. In addition, state law prohibited the expenditure of tax revenues for the education of children living on federal property. The military decided to build its own schools for the children of military personnel rather than paying for these children to attend local public schools. At present, all stateside U.S. Department of Defense Educational Activity (DoDEA) schools fall under the responsibility of the Department of Defense Title 10 under the direction of the Secretary of Defense. The overseas schools (or, DoDDS) fall under the responsibility of Title 20, Department of Education (DoDEA; School Boards for Department of Defense Domestic Schools Training Materials, 2012). Throughout the years, there have been many changes and shifts, as well as attempts to reintegrate children into LEAs. From time to time, the cost of supporting the schools is brought into question. In addition, whenever a military installation closes, its associated school, if any, closes too. Not all military children attend schools on military installations. Many receive quality educations at their LEAs. Regardless if a military child attends a school on a military installation or an LEA, it is important for helping professionals to know the types of education available to military children, to know how to support the needs of these students, and to know the laws that protect and support the social, emotional, and academic success of military children. For this paper, take into account what you have learned so far about military culture, review the two videos assigned this week, and conduct some additional research to deepen your understanding of the education of military children. Submit a 3- to 4-page paper in which you: Choose one family from the videos and briefly describe their circumstances as if they were an identified client Explain how the DoDEA school system could be utilized to help the family you chose Analyze how the scenarios discussed or circumstances may have been different in a civilian school Explain what social work strategies you would utilize with this family Explain how military culture played a part .

The Facts Peel Factor is the leading fruit juice provider in the country. The company is family owned and has been headed by brothers, Ted and Kiki, since the untimely passing of their father a few years ago. Kiki is the face of the enterprise and acts as the Executive Director of Peel Factor, soaking in all the plaudits for how well the company has performed. Ted is the reliable right-hand man who, until recently, faithfully executes his duties as one of the directors. Unbeknownst to Kiki, Ted has always felt that he can do a better job than his brother in leading the company, if given the chance to do so. Secretly, Ted has been approached by a talent scout hired by Fresh Inc., who is Peel Factor’s direct competitor. Ted is intrigued by Fresh Inc.’s offer to head their company and is tempted by the potential to achieve recognition for his business sense and administrative ability. He gives his in-principle agreement to Fresh Inc. to accept their offer. Out of brotherly love, he decides to inform Kiki first before signing the employment contract proper. Unfortunately for Ted, a local news reporter gets wind of the intended appointment and releases the news via the country’s premier social media app. Kiki is enraged by this perceived “betrayal” and goes to talk to Ted, hoping to come to an agreement on the way forward. However, once he gets to the office, Kiki loses it and castigates Ted, calling him “a wastrel and a disgrace to the family.” Ted tries to ignore Kiki and refuses to speak to him initially. Kiki then goes on to tell Ted that he “is the reason why father passed on early,” because Ted “is such a disappointment.” Kiki also says that Ted is “lousy” and that is why he “failed” at his job, and that the company would do much better without him, even though he has no evidence for this statement. Unable to hold it together any longer, Ted yells that Kiki has “always been the spoilt favourite family brat” and has only got so far because he is “tied to mummy’s apron strings.” Incensed at the situation, Kiki then proposes to buy back Ted’s shares in the family business for $0.04 per share even though he knows that the market price is $0.20 per share. Ted shouts back that Kiki has always been a “bully” since Ted lost Kiki’s favourite stuffed toy in their youth, even though Ted knows this has nothing to do with the current dispute. Kiki and Ted then both claim that they will each hear from their respective lawyers about this situation. Inwardly, Kiki is devastated. He has always wanted the family business to do well and wanted to keep his family together. Before their father passed, Kiki promised to take care of his brother and now the family seems to be torn asunder. Heartbroken, Kiki wishes deeply to keep the promise to his late father. In fact, Kiki actually thought he was grooming Ted to eventually take over from him in the near future. Further, he is extremely concerned about losing his existing clients as well as his staff.

The Financial Review 40 (2005) 1--9 Reflections on the Efficient Market Hypothesis: 30 Years Later Burton G. Malkiel∗ Princeton University Abstract In recent years financial economists have increasingly questioned the efficient market hypothesis. But surely if market prices were often irrational and if market returns were as predictable as some critics have claimed, then professionally managed investment funds should easily be able to outdistance a passive index fund. This paper shows that professional investment managers, both in The U.S. and abroad, do not outperform their index benchmarks and provides evidence that by and large market prices do seem to reflect all available information. Keywords: efficient markets, stock market predictability JEL Classifications: G12, G14 I have been an advocate of the efficient market hypothesis for over 30 years. In my view, equity prices adjust to new information without delay and, as a result, no arbitrage opportunities exist that would allow investors to achieve above-average returns without accepting above-average risk. This hypothesis is associated with the view that stock market price movements approximate those of a random walk. If new information develops randomly, then so will market prices, making the stock market unpredictable apart from its long-run uptrend. I suggested, largely in jest, that ∗Corresponding author: Chemical Bank Chairman’s Professor of Economics, Princeton University, Princeton University—Bendheim Center for Finance; 26 Prospect Avenue; Princeton, NJ 08540; United States; Phone: (609) 258-6445; Fax: (609) 258-0771; E-mail: [email protected] This paper was presented to the 2004 Meetings of the Eastern Finance Association in Mystic, Connecticut. 1 2 B.

Malkiel/The Financial Review 40 (2005) 1–9 a blindfolded chimpanzee throwing darts at the stock pages could select a portfolio that would do as well as the experts.1 In fact, the correct analogy is to throw a towel over the stock pages and simply buy an index fund, which buys and holds all the stocks making up a broad stock-market index. In recent years, many financial economists have come to question the efficient market hypothesis. At least ex-post, there seem to be several instances where market prices failed to reflect available information.2 Moreover, periods of large-scale irra- tionality, such as the technology-internet “bubble” of the late 1990s extending into early 2000, have convinced many analysts that the efficient market hypothesis should be rejected.3 In addition, financial econometricians have suggested that stock prices are, to a significant extent, predictable on the basis either of past returns or of certain valuation metrics such as dividend yields and price-earning ratios.4 Although it is possible to cast doubt on the statistical robustness of many of the predictable patterns that have been suggested,5 my skepticism is based on somewhat different evidence. Surely, if market prices often faile.

The Final Project is a descriptive narrative divided in two sections. Section One requires you to analyze a case study of a family in crisis, to include a child, an adolescent, and a set of parents. Section Two is a self-reflection of your abilities to be an effective clinician who works with children, adolescents, and families. This Final Project is a 6- to 8-page paper and will be due Day 3 of Week 11 . Include the following sections in your Final Project: Section One: Choose one of the three Case Studies focusing on a family in crisis. Each member of the family has unique issues that you must address. You must also determine the primary problems (this may include diagnostic impressions but not formal diagnoses), intervention, prevention, and education required to assist the family. In your project, do the following: Identify the client and the presenting problem or symptoms. Briefly explain if anyone else is involved and how they contribute to the problem. Explain if anyone other than the “identified client” also could be identified as a client. If so, describe who and why. Briefly describe any underlying problems or potential mental health diagnoses contributing to the primary problem that should be noted as you proceed with the client. Briefly describe the presenting problem from the family’s perspective and what theoretical perspective you will use to assess, analyze, and develop a treatment plan for this case. Identify the unique needs of each individual in the family. Briefly describe the culture of the family, societal expectations, gender roles, and cultural norms. Briefly explain how each of these might contribute to the problem. Briefly explain the child and adolescent culture and at least one general contributing factor to the identified issue and explain how this may or may not impact the family dynamics. Describe one intervention you might use for the identified client that would address the presenting problem and any related psychosocial factors. Justify your intervention with evidence-based research to support the use of the interventions you have identified. Briefly describe one preventative technique that you might use to reduce the likelihood of further crisis or the perpetuation of the current crisis. Section Two: Reflect on your journal entries throughout the course and consider what you may have learned about yourself as a future clinician working with children, adolescents, and families. Explain any areas of strength you have identified by completing this course that will assist you in working with children, adolescents, and families. Explain any areas of strength you identified as you worked on this course that will assist you in working with children, adolescents, and families. Explain any areas of knowledge you might want to further develop to become more effective as a clinician working with children, adolescents, and families.

The Final project is to Prepare a 10- to 15-slide PowerPoint presentation that addresses important access control, infrastructure, and management aspects from each location based on the Scenario below. Scenario You play the dual role of an IT architect and IT security specialist working for Integrated Distributors Incorporated (IDI), a multi-national organization with offices in several countries. Your instructor for this course plays the role of the chief information officer (CIO). Your peers play the role of selected technology staff. Each of the organization’s locations is operating with different information technologies and infrastructure—IT systems, applications, and databases. Various levels of IT security and access management have been implemented and embedded within their respective locations. Tasks Your goals as the IT architect and IT security specialist are to: Develop solutions to the issues that the specified location of IDI is facing. Develop plans to implement corporate-wide information access methods to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Assess risks and vulnerabilities with operating IT facilities in the disparate locations where IDI now functions and develop mitigation plans and implementation methods. Analyze the strengths and weaknesses in the current systems of IDI. Address remote user and Web site user’s secure access requirements. Develop a proposed budget for the project—consider hardware, software, upgrades/replacements, and consulting services. Prepare detailed network and configuration diagrams outlining the proposed change to be able to present it to the management. Develop and submit a comprehensive report addressing the learning objectives and your solutions to the issues within the scenario.

The Final Project is your opportunity to demonstrate what you have learned throughout the course in a summative and comprehensive assignment. Begin preparing for this assignment by reading the Week Six Instructor Guidance and by imagining the following scenario: In just two months, members of your community will vote on an $18 million educational technology bond intended to update the technology infrastructure of both the school district and local community center. The passing of the bond would provide upgraded technology to improve learning for Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade students enrolled in the school district as well as adult learners enrolled in the community’s blended adult learning programs. The leadership teams of both the school district and community have decided to join forces in an effort to encourage voter participation. The leaders believe that by raising awareness and interest in technology as a teaching and learning tool, voters will have a better understanding of and appreciation for the issues pertaining to the bond, which will increase the likelihood of it passing at the polls. Since this is a joint effort between the school district and community center, you will assume the role of either an educator in the district, or a representative of the community center and plan a portion of a local event involving community members. Your goal for the Final Project is to get residents of your community into the doors of your school and/or community center to raise awareness of and interest in technology integration in the learning environment. As such, this event will need to provide opportunities for attendees to be exposed to and interact with various types of technology. In essence, your event will showcase current examples of technology use in your respective learning environment as well as feature the impact that the bond money would have (i.e., how teaching and learning would improve) if passed. Once a written plan is drafted, you will propose your event plan to either the school board or community center administrative team through a professional presentation detailing your plan along with a written synopsis of the event plans provided to your audience. Select from one of the two roles shared in the content expectations below and include each component in your Community Event Plan. Create your assignment using the content and written communication instructions below. Use the Grading Rubric to review your assignment before submission to ensure you have met the distinguished performance for each of the components described below. For additional assistance, review the Week Six Instructor Guidance page and, if needed, contact the instructor for further clarifications. Refer to: Week 6 Presentation Template Content Instructions: my role is a representative of the community center. Based on the role you have selected to take (either a district educator or a representative of the community center), you will create tw.
