Introduction Successful organizations have well-structured plans that set a clear direction into the envisioned future and provide means of achieving it. The leadership of such organizations set goals that ensure success at both individual and corporate levels. Participation of employees in the goal setting process motivates them leading to easy achievement of the set target. Motivation and support of staff is thus a necessary ingredient in achieving a higher level of success of employees. Goal setting also ensures profitability of the business as it leads to improvement in service delivery and product quality. A clear organizational vision is important in attaining organizational success. The vision defines the values of the company and guides the employees towards attainment of organizational objectives. Leaders of business organizations should understand the importance of having a strong, shared vision within an organization as well as having goal setting in an organization. Importance of Goal setting in Organizations Organizational goals structured with the involvement of all employees help in staff motivation and teamwork. In addition, goal setting involving the input from the employees helps in problem solving since solutions to problems are addressed during the goal setting exercise. Goal setting should not only involve the goals for the entire company but also goals at the departmental level. Goal setting at departmental level leads to improvement in employee performance as the employees strive to comply with the goals set. The goal setting process is the prerogative of the leadership of the organization with inputs from the other employees. The goals set should take into account the capabilities and the competences of the human capital as well as the resources available to the company. To improve employee performance, the goals should be more specific and in line with the organization’s mission. The goal setting exercise should also incorporate the views and responses from all the parties or departments involved. This ensures that the goals set are all-inclusive, which motivates the employees to put more efforts towards attaining them. The goal setting process involves first the formulation of a clear and effective vision of the organization, which provides an idealized picture of the organization in the future. A vision is important to an organization as it acts as a guiding principle for the organization’s strategic plans. An effective vision should be specific to provide direction and inspire employee commitment towards the achievement of common goals. A clear vision that is all-inclusive facilitates employees to set individual goals to drive the organization forward. In addition to the goals, objectives offer a more descriptive way on how the vision of the organization will be achieved. Once the objectives have been set, various tasks are assigned to departments or employees to help achieve the objectives. Priority must be
Introduction Joseph Stalin was born in the year 1879 in Georgia and was an influential politician in Soviet State from the year 1922 until he died in 1953 (Imdb.com). During this time, Stalin served “as the first general secretary of the communist party of the Soviet union’s central committee” (Imdb.com) and he managed to consolidate more authority and power in his governance until he become dominant over all other political groups within this party. As a result of his outstanding policies, Stalin geared the soviet State towards achieving major transformation and the country become a “great industrial power” causing swift economical changes to occur (Imdb.com). Stalin’s policies Foreign policies are combined strategies which a State or a country designs and pursues in order to safeguard its concerns and interests within the international arena (Foreignpolicy.com). As such, Joseph Stalin had developed specific policies in order to ensure that Soviet Union was successful in many areas primarily in national security. Throughout his reign, Stalin took necessary measures to develop strategies which enabled him maintain power while on the other hand safeguarding the interest of his country (Foreignpolicy.com). Joseph Stalin was obsessed with power and for this reason he wanted to be in a position where he can command and control everything; he therefore developed different strategies such as policies to maintain political power, policies to enable Soviet State acquire economically stability so that the country could become superior over its enemies and policies to safeguard the interest of the nation (Foreignpolicy.com). Discussion Foremost, when Joseph Stalin came into power, he formulated policies which would enable him stay in power for a long time by eliminating all the people who worked in the previous administration while replacing this group of employees with his own people and friends (Histclo.com). Thereafter, Stalin also initiated a revolutionary wave which would see the Soviet Union acquire higher level of economical stability driven by the industrialization process (Histclo.com). During this industrialization process, there were major developments in the Soviet state and the government was fully able to control all sectors of the country including the most important sectors such as the treasury department because of Stalin hold on power. This firm control was necessary for Stalin’s administration because it enabled the government to direct funds in developing capable and strong military defense that Stalin needed to advance his military policy that was meant to be both defensive and aggressive (Imdb.com). Additionally, as a result of the high level of industrialization, the Soviet Union became self sufficient and very developed in terms of military power as the country was generating sophisticated and high standard military weapons to further its foreign military policy. Stalin also strengthened the country’s army in other ways through quality training of the country’s Red army which was intended to function as preemptive and preparative strategies in case
Socialism is a form of governance in which political and economic ideologies rest on the concept that the society as a whore should have the responsibility to regulate production, distribution as well as exchange. This means that the power over these activities is not vested over individuals or bodies but rests on the entire society. This is contrary to capitalism in which the economic processes of production, distribution and the final exchange of commodities are controlled by individuals or business entities for the sake of making profits. A review of the text The Jungle has some elements of the two systems. This question thus seeks to establish the grounds on which the text promotes socialism as opposed to capitalism. The capitalist economic system, being controlled by individuals or even entities that are profit oriented, is characterized by the problem of consumers being at risk of exploitations by the players in the economy. The entities in their bids to maximize on their profits will for instance be driven by the need to minimize on their expenditures in the entire production and delivery process while at the same time maximize on their revenues. Socialists condemn the capitalist system on the ground that the capitalists are not actively involved in the economy but on the contrary exploit workers and consumers for their economic gains (Blacksacademy 1). The negative effects of the capitalist form of government are identified to be one of the themes that the writer of the book dwelt on. A variety of expressions as expressed in the book are basically geared towards offering a criticism of the capitalist system that was associated with a lot of ill on the people. The writer was particular on issues that portrayed the system as “inhuman, destructive, unjust, brutal, and violent” towards workers (Sparknotes 1). The level of greed that is realized on the side of the capitalist is even manifested in the manner in which production processes are undertaken under unhealthy conditions because the capitalists owes no responsibility to either their workers or even consumers of their products. The writer then brings in the concept of socialism to as a perfect solution to the problems that people were facing under capitalism. The final presentation of socialism as a way out thus indicates the author’s motive to promote socialism. He put the two systems on either side of t
Capabilities of CIO An aspiring CIO should practice the above soft skills in order to perform the following capabilities. CIO should be able form a strong visionary leadership among the IT department personnel. He should be able to implement IT strategy for the organization. CIO should be able to form a stable technical architecture within the organization. He should be able to clearly communicate the business priorities and should be able to link the business plans to the technical architecture. The IT skills portfolio should be manageable to different projects under the observation of CIO. Above all, it is the responsibility of CIO to create a convenient place to work. The CIO need to ensure the Information security to provide information assurance in the organization, for which he/ she need to keep a tab on the data on project and risk events. According to John W. Von Stein, as cited in Gregory S Smith, the communication of CIO should be filled with “empathy’. And the authors suggest the CIO s to be aware of their communicative strengths and weaknesses and to be aware of different communication channel. John R.Sullivan as cited in Gregory S Smith further advises the CIO to fin the convenient places to practice the public speech. Another suggestion found in the book of Gregory is to observe the peers and colleagues, orators in the professional events an forums to learn and discern good and bad communication practices an to learn more than just technical jargon. ‘Rounding’ is another aspect suggested by Nelson as cited in Gregory that has to be practiced by CIO. Daily rounds on the office grounds to have an informal communication with staff and paying a visit or giving a call to customer to know their satisfaction, feedback on quality and concerns will make a difference in effective communication. Why Capabilities are Important to CIO Soft skills, like communication development, improving business knowledge, improving leadership and motivational skills, developing strong negotiation skills have become necessary for the CIOs. In any organization CEO think and talk in terms of Business goals. Where as a Technical person like CIO, if speaks in pure technical terms, it creates a wide gap of communication and hinders the execution of functional operations. Besides CXOs and company executives, a CIO needs to interact with outside vendors, contractors for HR sourcing, IT staff, suppliers and Customers. However, the CIO 2004 survey as cited in Gregory S smith, reports that CIO’s success depends on effective communication and personal skill mastery in dealing with the CXOs and company executives than any other above said role. The major responsibility of a CIO in any organization is ‘Proving the Value of IT’ within to both inside and outside parties. In order to make a successful posit
Introduction Migration has always been a part of human culture and since prehistoric times, people have relocated from one geographical region to the other. This movement is often encouraged by the desire to seek better opportunities or to escape from undesirable conditions in one’s native region. Migration has gained significant importance in the 21st century where globalization has increased the movement of people across nations. It has become one of the key issues in recent times with the number of migrants all over the world increasing significantly each year. While the international community acknowledges the right of individuals to move, countries have adopted migration policies that are meant to limit movement. This raises the question whether every person can enjoy the freedom of movement enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that people should be free to move between nations. This paper will seek to show that the right to migrate is not a realistic part of everyone’s basic Human Rights due to the significant adverse effects of unregulated migration. Migration in the 21 st Century A major characteristic of the modern world is the high level of integration and interaction among individuals of varying nationalities and cultures. This phenomenal increase in global interaction has been catalyzed by the globalization phenomenon that has led to major integration of culture and economies. The great transportation and communication advances made in the last century have increased made migration a major feature of globalization. According to Duvell, almost one billion people move across borders or boundaries due to some social-political-economical reason (24). The United Nations has acknowledged the individual right of movement with Article 13-2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights stating, “Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country” (Pécoud and Guchteneire 69). However, in spite of this declaration which promotes free movement, individual countries have restrictive immigration policies that are aimed at dissuading people from moving into the country. In addition to this, some nations have shown a bias towards certain migrant groups based on race or labor skills. This restrictive nature of migration has been prompted by a number of legitimate issues that make the right to free migration for all an unrealistic ambition. Why the Right to Free Migration is Unrealistic Migration has led to unnecessary tensions between immigrants and the local populations. When migrants move to a host country in large numbers, they set up micro-communities that are different from the dominant communities. This might disrupt the social cohesion enjoyed by most nations. In France, the native French society has refused to accept the large Muslim North African community that already makes up 8% of the country’s population (Esman 1). The same situation happens in other European countries where the Natives refuse
President Woodrow Wilson’s Fourteen Points The fourteen points of President Woodrow Wilson were a part of his speech outlining his program for peace in the world given in January of 1918. The first point forbade secret covenants; all the agreements were to be achieved openly and transparently. The second point included the free navigation of the world’s seas. The next points outlines the reduction of weapon kept by the countries and the elimination of economic limitations between the countries, independence of Belgium and Poland, removal of the German troops from Russia, liberation of France, self determination of Balkan countries and Austro-Hungary, the agreement about the state borders and territories of Italy, the organization of Turkish government for the Turkish people, and the establishment of the League of Nations that would be responsible for the protection of freedom and independence of all the world’s states. The fourteen points were accepted by the leaders of Germany and its allies in November of 1918. Franklin Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms Speech (1941 address to Congress) Roosevelt’s speech outlining the four freedoms he deemed the most important mentioned the freedom of speech, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear. The speech was given in 1941, less than a year before the United States joined the war with Japan. The President’s speech mainly contained the overview of the unstable situation in the world and the threat the other democratic states of the world had to face due to the starting World War. Roosevelt also mentioned that the state security of the United States was likely to be endangered. The President listed the advantages of democracy and promoted various aspects of it. Roosevelt elaborated about the four freedoms and noted that the first two – the freedoms of speech and of religion are under the protection of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. Cuban Missile Crisis: Special National Intelligence Estimate According to the information discovered by the special national intelligence department, during the Cuban missile crisis the Soviet Union had one main objective. They intended to demonstrate the shift of the armed power on the world’s arena and to show that the United States was unable to prevent the strengthening positions of the USSR. This objective was achieved though the support of the military buildup on the territory of Cuba and the protection of Castro’s regime. The installation of the Soviet missiles in Cuba was deemed to provided the basis for bargaining between the US and USSR. The agreement for the missiles to be present in Cuba would strengthen the positions of Communists and the withdrawa
The initial emergence of the language is due to the need to transmit information to fellow tribespeople. Symbols have always been used to convey information in this way. They represent an extensive designation of an event, an object, or a person in the form of a simple drawing that could be depicted alone at a fast speed. In addition to transmitting and storing information, symbols, and subsequently a structured and complex language, participated in cognition, helping to develop the cognitive component of life in society. In modern culture, language, symbols, and non-verbal symbols are the most crucial aspect of socialization in a particular group of people (Russel, 2015). Studying the language and subsequently using it for different purposes, a person builds himself into an information canvas that is adequate and relevant in a given society. Established social relations form communication within the necessary and adequate framework and boundaries. Arranging and framing is the main communication component sewn into the social structure. In the formation of communication, a person’s social status, possible power, and significance in the group play an important role. All this is established in the structure of society, which, by its nature, is hierarchical (Kraus, 2015). The ability to use a specific language, symbols, understandable only to a narrow circle of people, should be subordinate to one or another status of a person. The influence of status on the construction of communication and the use of a specific language accompanies all people throughout their lives, and I am no exception. The school became, for me, the first most crucial place where the social hierarchy influenced the formation of special rules of communication. Communication with the teacher was filled with other symbols and included a specific language that was inadequate to use with peers or close relatives. Later, time transformed the student-teacher relationship and the accompanying communication into a relationship between boss and subordinate. Such examples, however, are trivial and are due to a specific status, which a host of other factors accompanies (DeLamater, Myers, and Collett, 2015). Another example of a particular communication (verbal and subtle non-verbal) and, importantly, specific unique symbols is romantic communication and flirting.

Market and Competitors   * Mango hotel can compete directly only with Pineapple, Strawberry, and Apple hotels;   * The rest of the companies have invested in guest room renovation;   * Prices should be kept at lower rates than hotels that have renovated rooms. Only three hotels, besides Mango, do not have renovated guest rooms. Renovation results in a price increase, which means the rest of the hotels are considered to be pricier options. Therefore, the maximum price Mango can charge is limited by their pricing model. Strengths   * Have facilities to attract both leisure and business customers.   * Higher occupancy can be achieved by setting lower prices. Mango can serve business customers, because it has a meeting room and a business center. Leisure customers can be attracted by the availability of spa and all-day restaurant. Weaknesses   * Net profit is limited by the absence of renovated rooms.   * Additional expenses are required to market available rooms. Net profit cannot be increased unless Mango increases room prices. However, price adjustment opportunities are limited because of the absence of renovated rooms. Therefore, to keep occupancy at high level, Mango has to invest 6% of the net revenue in marketing efforts. Opportunities   * Increased number of small groups of leisure travelers during spring.   * Cultural events during Autumn may contribute to occupancy.   * Construction projects and other events attract business travelers.
