Work Satisfaction
Number of words: 853 - Number of pages: 4.... and more personnel
managers are reporting to the president of an organization rather than a
vice-president. (Mathis and Jackson, 1985)
Organizations should endeavor to achieve a working environment
conducive to job satisfaction. Why? Because employees who get
satisfaction from the work they do tend to do quality work consistently,
which benefits the organization. At the same time, the individual owes it
to him/herself to seek work that is most fulfilling to him. Failure to do
this leads to the quote from Studs Terkel's book.
All aspects of work are amenable to proper control/manageme .....

Immigration And Its Effect On The Economy Of The U.S
Number of words: 1578 - Number of pages: 6.... harsh fact is that what may be necessary and
beneficial at one time, may not be so at another. The demand for labor is being
affected by "restructuring forces stemming from the nature and pace of
technological change; from the stiff international competition the United States
that now confronts for the first time in its history; from major shifts in
consumer spending away from goods toward services; and from the substantial
reduction
In the national defense expenditures brought about by the end of the Cold War in
the early 1990's". (vernon m. briggs,jr. and stephen moore. pg 35.) In look .....

U.S Auto Industry's Market Share And Fluctuations
Number of words: 932 - Number of pages: 4.... since the first foreign truck was imported from Japan in 1956, GM's
share of the market began to decline. Foreign cars were smaller, more fuel
efficient, less expensive, and often more reliable than their American
counterparts. General Motor's market share dipped from nearly 44% in 1973 to
below 30% in 1985. In response to this sudden drop in its share of the market GM
founded the Saturn Company. Saturn produces compact cars very similar to
Japanese imports at competitive prices. This response halted GM's declining
share of the market. Today, General Motors maintains about 30 .....

Number of words: 2530 - Number of pages: 10.... to the success of the organization. Empowerment requires a high level of commitment and it is reached through this process of growing trust.
Informing
Effective communication is an essential condition for managing change and supporting an empowered culture. People who are 'in the know' tend to feel more strongly committed to the organization's goals. In almost any company or pubic body you will find that employees complain about lack of information.

Karl Marx's Estranged Labor
Number of words: 1826 - Number of pages: 7.... labor) and how it limits freedom. For Marx man's freedom is
relinquished or in fact wrested from his true nature once he becomes a laborer.
This process is thoroughly explained throughout Estranged Labor. This study will
reveal this process and argue it's validity. Appendant to this study on
alienation there will be a micro-study which will attempt to ascertain Marx's
view of freedom (i.e. positive or negative). The study on alienation in
conjunction with the micro-study on Marx's view of freedom will help not only
reveal why Marx feels labor limits mans freedom, but it will also i .....

Number of words: 1225 - Number of pages: 5.... research and heavy investment. The Japanese spent billions
of dollars studying American taste and manufacturing models that suited them.
The Big Three have generally confined their efforts to sending models that they
have made specifically for Americans. Bill Duncan, the head of the Japan
Automobile Manufacturers Assn. states that "it was the basic principals of
competition that made the Japanese automobile industry strong."
One example which reflects the short-sightedness of the Big Three is the
insufficient number of right-hand models available in Japan. Since cars in Japan
are driven on .....

Sony's Expansion
Number of words: 1591 - Number of pages: 6.... poor investments. This may work well in a market with minimal competition, but Sony is not in such a market. Consumer electronics is becoming increasingly competitive and cost driven. Companies must have a balance of creating products for an existing market as well as creating markets for new product. Morita once said, “We don’t market products that have already been developed; rather, we develop markets for the products we make.” This mindset may be why Morita is no longer CEO of Sony Corporation.
An example of failing to create a market for its product is the Sony Beta Max .....

The Nature Of Imperialism
Number of words: 1213 - Number of pages: 5.... and Orwell show a common realization of this a certain points in their live. Swift on the other hand, show a realization in a way to speak out against England’s control. They realize it only after time and it comes in the form of cultural, economic and social domination by their oppressors. All three writers are relating experiences of oppression and domination by the Imperialistic England on three different countries in three different times.
