Leaders are not only responsible for their actions within an organization, but also the success of the rest of the staff of the firm. Leaders have considerable influence on the personal performance of the staff in a firm. As such, leaders must ensure that they display good characteristics to encourage the other members of staff to perform effectively. A leader must help his subordinates to realize their potential and achieve success in their operations. First, a leader can use motor skills to influence his subordinates to improve their performance (Bailey, 2013). Motivation incentives help the staff feel worth and as part of the organization. Motivation techniques from a leader instill confidence in the members of staff and encourage them to express themselves freely to their supervisors. On the other hand, a leader is responsible for the success and failures of an entity that they serve. Leaders are responsible for setting the goals and standards of an organization (Sternberg, 2012). As such, the ability of an organization to withstand external forces depends on the leader’s ability to manage the firm. The responsibilities of leaders within the organization are bound to change with time. However, only the tactics or the extent of responsibility changes across careers. For instance, the success of an organization will always be a leader’s responsibility regardless of the time and the kind of firm in which the leader serves. Nonetheless, the extent to which the leader bears the responsibility of an organization change with the kind of leadership employed and the nature of the organization. Authentic leaders can influence and train people to bear the responsibilities of their actions thus reducing the burden of success on the leaders part (Associations Now, 2008). Cons
Introduction When doing business in other countries, it is important to be closely acquainted with the culture and traditions of these countries, as well as to the local business etiquette, in order to be able to conduct the business successfully and avoid conflicts that may result from the cultural gap. In this paper, the Croatian culture will be discussed in order to prepare a businessperson who is going to live in Croatia for an extended period of time for doing business there. Some norms, values, perceptions typical of Croatian culture will be discussed, as well as some communication strategies and things to avoid while interacting with Croats. Croatian Culture Croatia is a country located in Southeastern Europe, near the Adriatic Sea. It was a part of the former Yugoslavia; Croats still have rather strong cultural ties to Austrians more than to other former members of Yugoslavia (Gilliland n. pag.). On the other hand, Croatia has a history of national tension and hostilities with Serbs. Most of the country’s population (which is approximately 4.3 million people) are Croats; the rest are Serbs, Hungarians, Gypsies, and others. The main religion in Croatia is Roman Catholicism. The official language is Croatian; it has a number of dialects which are spoken in different parts of the country. The country’s economy is dominated by the service sector (importantly, tourism is a major source of income); the second major sector is industrial, whereas agriculture occupies the third place. Croatia has a high Human Development Index, and it is developing rather fast (Seitz 105). It is a mem
Introduction Language is not just the means for expressing ideas and sharing information. It is something bigger. Speaking specific languages people acquire particular culture, they become the part of it. That is why, when people have to leave the places they were born in, they keep language they got used to speak as something the most valuable and sacred. It is impossible to take all the things when leaving to the strange culture, but it is possible to have native language and use it whenever one wants. Native Language Reading Agosin’s article Always Living in Spanish: Recovering the Familiar, through Language I faced a quote, “I miss that undulating and sensuous language of mine, those baroque descriptions, the sense of being and felling that Spanish gives me” (Agosin 203) and I have understood that it is about me. Spanish is not my native language, but it seems that the author speaks about Russian, my native language. I want to say that even though my English is good, I can express ideas and people understand me in a proper way, I feel like I am singing when I speak my native language. It is easier for me to speak Russian when I want to express emotions. I sometimes feel that I really miss my native language, the one which I have been using for many years before I moved here, to the USA. I do not want to say that I have problems with reading or communicating in English, it is just different. It seems to me that when I speak my native language, I recollect the memories about my childhood. Furthermore, there are a lot of different poems in English which touch my heart, but when I read poetry in my native language, it seems to me that each word is full of emotions, traditions and culture I used to. Turning the discussion to the literature and tradition, it is impossible to deny that such notions are closely connected. For example, the poetry of Sergei Yesenin is the description of the pastoral Russia. Each word in his poems is full the smell of meadows, fields, trees, flowers, rivers, etc. Yesenin’s poems are not only about Russia, they are for Russia, the place he was born and died. Alexander Pushkin is another representative of Russian literature. I would like to say that asking foreigners about Russian poets and writers they know, they will definitely remember Pushkin. The works of these poets remind me what Russia is. It does not matter for me that Pushkin wrote during Romantic era and Yesenin was a representative of 20 th century literature. The nature they describe has not changed (if not to take into account raised cities), as the villages and the forests they describe are full of Russian spirit. Reading these poets in English translation I cannot experience these feeling of national identity. Only using Russian books for reading, it seems to me that I appear in my native country. Close connection between books and culture cannot be denied as they have been written by the people who were brought us by the same social norms and traditions. Thus, it is possible to conclude that language and traditions are closely connected and even these notions are a part of the culture of the whole nation. Touching the issue of tradition and lan
New information technologies (NIT) have an enormous influence on an individual’s quality of life and the development of business. Currently, laptops, computers, tablets, and smartphones are relatively common attributes in the everyday routine of both consumers and industries. However, if a company wants to be ahead of competitors, it needs to invest in advanced digital technologies regularly. Even though it can be challenging to imagine ways of how NIT can develop more over time, this skill is particularly helpful for successful company owners. Nonetheless, individuals should analyze the possible reasons for the deployment of NIT to their unique business needs. Thus, company owners should examine various drivers, including appropriate electronic deliverability, customizability, search costs, and more. Primarily, NITs are used to build a more reliable connection between customers and businesses. Thus, institutions use NIT as a network because it helps to build stronger relationships and alliances. I think that companies, big or small, should be able to adapt to new technologies by always updating their knowledge on the topic, consulting with competent specialists, and being future-oriented. There are numerous examples of successful businesses that could not keep growing and improving because of a lack of NIT introduction into their model. However, a small company can develop fast if it has a strong internet presence, can provide various services online, or assist customers with new technology products. In any caseenablesenable businesses, consumers, investors, partners, and suppliers to stay interconnected. Besides adaptability, individuals should learn how to choose what aspect of NIT to implement based on their unique purposes. This positive transformation of a business can be done by deciding on the most effective mediation strategy.
The issues surrounding growth and development of children have been a matter of concern for a long time as individuals and groups try to investigate what shapes individuals as they grow. In this regard, aspects of a child’s development like the nature and nurture have been a central area of debate as scholars highlight their different views on the issue, thus resulting in controversy. Over the years, the disciplines of psychology, philosophy, and sociology have developed different theories that seek to explain the nature versus nurture theories of children development. In this light, the nature aspect refers to the genetic and hereditary elements that determine the traits of an individual. This aspect encompasses physical appearance and personality traits. On the other hand, the nurture aspect entails environmental factors that influence people as they grow. Two philosophers, viz. G.W Leibniz and John Locke, have given their thoughts on the nature vs. nurture issue based on their innate and empiricism perspectives respectively. The following is a debate between Locke and Leibniz on the background of the nature vs. nurture issue. Leibniz: I think the time has come for us to settle the debate on nurture vs. nature. On this issue, I subscribe to the Platonic school of thought that both human conduct and knowledge are affected by innate factors. Considering the aspects of children development, this assertion means that individuals are born with all the knowledge that they require for growth and development of their personality and well-being. I refute the role of the environment in adding value to one’s knowledge. Locke: Well, philosophically, I am an Aristotelian student and thus I subscribe to nurture. I believe that individuals are born with a tabula rasa, which means a blank state that acquires knowledge through experience. In my view, the environment plays a central role in determining one’s behavior and knowledge, and thus it is essential for personal growth and development. The application of the Aristotelian ideas can be important in understanding the nature vs. nurture debate. Leibniz: I contend that individuals think and act based on internal mechanisms, which are wired genetically. Hereditary genes are responsible for the formation of different thoughts in children, thus resulting in actions that are identical to their parents’ behaviors. This aspect implies that natural factors are responsible for the character development of children due to the genetic connection to their parents. I do not see the significance of environmental factors in shaping one’s thoughts, thus resulting in actions as depicted in the various stages of children development. Locke: I refute the existence of internal mechanisms that facilitate the formation of thoughts that are manifested by action
As healthcare and malpractice expenses continue to increase, there is great attention to strategies such as mediation, arbitration, and prior apology in the medical field. After analyzing the ten studies below, it is simple to understand that each of them is distinctive in interpreting its opinion regarding why it is in favor of or against the subject matter. Every article, either tackling the same issue as another or not, is not linked to each other. The articles conclude that mediation is the best method to use in settling medical disputes, and each of them has its specific claim. Amirthalingam, K. (2017). Medical dispute resolution, patient safety and the doctor-patient relationship. Singapore medical journal , 58 (12), 681. Web. The researcher investigated the patient’s well-being and the doctor-patient relationship. As a result, the study exhibited that the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques can better settle most disputes. These techniques can lead to enhancing patient well-being by motivating more sincere and extensive reporting of risks. Although the study does not directly reflect on healthcare malpractice, it is relevant to the subject matter under consideration. The research teaches that health disputes and patient welfare have to take a different perspective, namely patient freedom. This source is relevant to patient independence and safety as it provides insight into maintaining confidence in the doctor-patient relationship. Close, T. S. (2020). Pursuing peace: Examining alternative dispute resolution practices throughout the world’s religious traditions (Doctoral dissertation, Drew University). 27837725. Web. The publication dwelt on enhancing the inter-religious discussion around mediation and the ADR and placed religion in dialogue to establish a more robust religious resources environment from which modern mediators can inspire. It follows that the study was interested in addressing the inability of other people to view beyond their personal needs. Accordingly, the ADR has a deep foundation in the biblical worldview. For instance, Islam and Christianity have all applied spiritual dispute resolution policies to resolve disputes and encourage peace within their spiritual communities. The recommendation suggested learn lessons that we can incorporate into our righteous scope and moral faith and establish and practice them in routine lives. Ehikhamenor, E. E., Obani, P. C., & Azodo, C. C. (2017). Application of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in trauma care in a Nigerian tertiary hospital. International Journal Medicine Biomedical Research , 6 (2), 74-85. Web. Based on this source, the analyst surveyed the practice of different dispute settlement instead of the traditional perspective of police participation. Accordingly, the research included 190 benefactors, and most of the correspondents were between 16 to 30 years old. Fifty percent of the participants gained at least $100, specifically for research and treatment based on intervention. This source was useful because it exhibits that mediation is the truth of exposing all parties to the duty of hospital entrance, such as medication e
Introduction In the history of the German company SAP, as in a mirror, several eras of the global corporate informatization market are reflected. SAP SE produces software for organizations; the headquarters are located in Walldorf. SAP was founded by five former IBM employees (Claus Wellenreuther, Hans-Werner Hector, Klaus Chira, Dietmar Hopp and Hasso Plattner) under the name Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung (System Analysis and Program Development). The first office of the firm was in Mannheim; in 1976, SAP GmbH was founded and the company moved to Walldorf a year later. SAP has offices on most continents, in more than 130 countries, including the USA. The company is engaged in the development of automated control systems for such internal processes of the enterprise as accounting, trade, production, finance, personnel management, warehouse management, etc. Applications can usually be adapted to the legal context of a particular country. In addition to supplying software, the company offers services for its implementation, using its own implementation methodology. The company’s most famous product is the SAP R/3 ERP systems for large and medium-sized enterprises, developed and sold by the company since the early 1990s, created as a continuation of the RF and R/2 lines. Since the mid-2000s, the R/3 name has not been used; the core of the ERP system, created as a continuation of the line, is called SAP ERP ECC by the manufacturer (Goldston, 2019). The largest world market players in the ERP segment are Oracle and SAP. While both are market leaders, their ERP products are surprisingly different. The SAP product was largely built in-h
A business setting or functions of an organization involve an intricate relationship between innovation and progress. Many aspects depend on how the market views the organization and how it is being treated in the business setting. One of the key aspects of any business is to be able to interest the public or society in the products or services that are being offered to people and other organizations. As Sue Barkley, it would be wise to follow a path of both having an in-house system and getting the EMS Time Critical Manufacturing package. To start, a business needs a quick and efficient change that is dictated by the market. Innovation is rather important to a company because it makes sure that the business stays current and can deal with the competition. In a case where something new cannot be invented, or there is not enough time to follow the requirements and demands of the market, a purchase must be made. This would ensure a starting stage for the business while their software is being developed. Even though it might be costly, to begin with, it would be a starting point that will allow competing with other businesses. Just because there was a bad experience with the two previous vendors, it would not be wise to put everyone under one cap and get discouraged to continue trying. With the purchased system, the company will be able to gain some momentum and make the necessary resources to develop its software. Usually, there is some passage of time that allows for experimentation and the study of the market. Developing their software is critical, as new ideas can come to life and become the leading quality of the company (Pride, 2010). The fact that the company is using outdated technology has severe consequences about other organizations and the market. People always want the best that companies have to offer, and since there are many businesses that strive to become the leader, it would be appropriate to follow the changing world. The more useful, functioning and appealing the system is, the more demand it will have in the population, thus increasing profits. Lucas Moore has seen the system and its capabilities, supporting the purchase. It is much better to become active in six months than two years, and while the new system is already being used for acquiring profits, own software will be developed with proper attention and care. The creation and advancement of the in-house system are crucial, as it would be unproductive to rely on the purchased product alone. The market is constantly evolving, and so, the company that has offered the new
Introduction Dar Al Arkan is the largest real estate company in Saudi Arabia based on its market value in comparison with the other industry players, its main focus being the development of the residential and commercial property. It is based in Riyadh and was established in 1994 by members of a well-known family, but currently, it is a public shareholding company. They had a profound knowledge of real estate and decided to establish the company to try and satisfy the rising demand that was being experienced in Saudi Arabia at the time due to a rapid increase in population. Over the years, Dar Al Arkan has experienced tremendous growth from a small company to the real estate giant that it is today. In the year 2002 up to the beginning of 2004, the company operated as a limited liability company after which it converted into a joint-stock company in 2005. Come 2007, the company had its shares listed in the country’s stock exchange market and has continued to increase its capital through this platform (Dar Al Arkan, 2010, para. 1) The recent economic boom experienced in the country has led to further growth in the company and the company has taken advantage of this opportunity to increase the range of its activities and projects. It has a
Introduction Saudi Arabia is one of the most important countries in the Middle East. The country has great wealth due to its enormous oil reserves. In addition to this, Saudi Arabia is a special country to Muslims all over the world since it is the birthplace of the Prophet Mohammed. My country has a rich and expansive history spanning many centuries. This history shows that the kingdom was not always the united regional power it is today. Modern-day Saudi Arabia was once a humble region that was occupied primarily by nomadic tribal societies. However, it was able to grow and become a strong regional power under the leadership of the Al-Saud clan. This paper will provide a brief but informative history of Saudi Arabia, starting from its formative years in the 18 th century to its present form. Early History Saudi Arabia can trace its origins to the 18th century. During this time, the Ottoman Empire maintained control over parts of the territory that make up the modern-day Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Ottoman Sultan appointed rulers in the important cities of Mecca, Jeddah, and Medina. However, the Ottoman Empire did not exercise control over the interior region of Arabia, known as Najd. Without a formal Ottoman presence, the region was able to exercise independent rule with local princes ruling over the towns. One family that was a powerful force in the Najd region was the Al Saud family. The Al Saud clan occupied the Diriya settlement in Najd, and since the early 1700s, a member of the Al Saud family ruled over Diriya. However, the Al Saud leadership was never able to expand beyond the small settlement. Fig. 1: Early Nomadic Communities in Saudi Arabia. The fortunes of the al Saud family changed when it interacted with the renowned religious reformer, Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab. Al Wahhab advocated for a monotheistic religion, which would be characterized by the strict adherence to the principles of Islam as taught by the Prophet Muhammad. This reformer recognized that he would require the support of political authority to realize his goal of a pure Islamic State. In 1744, the Amir of Diriya, Muhammad ibn Saud met with Sheikh al-Wahhab. The two men shared a vision of an Islamic state, and they were able to forge a political alliance that was meant to create a state ruled by Islamic principles Islamic State. To fulfill this goal, the two carried out military campaigns aimed at conquering the villages that refused to submit to Ibn Saud and uniting Najd. After his death, Ibn Saud was succeeded by his son, who continued with the expansionist strategies of his father. Due to the military activities of this new ruler, Diriya was now the most strong city-state in the Arabian Desert. The emir of Diriya set out to conquer even more cities in the region, includ
