The Case of the Micromanaging CEO
To effectively make decisions, one should always use the nine-step
decision-making process. First, one must identify the problem at hand.
They must then define the criteria, goals and objectives they wish to
achieve, and then evaluate the effect of the problem. Next, one must
identify the cause of the problem and then frame alternatives. An
evaluation should then be done on the impact of these alternatives, and an
alternative should be selected. The process is not complete at the
selection of a solution, however. One must then measure the impacts of the
decision, as well as implement the decision. This paper will utilize these
steps to come to a decision regarding a micromanaging CEO that is effective
the efficacy and efficiency of an organization.

decision-making process. First, one must identify the problem at hand.

| 1163 | Education Transforming Leadership and Teaching in the Classroom Break the Rules of War Break the Rules of Teaching
Even a teacher's potential first reaction to the phrase "broke the
rules of war" in the chart about depth and breath in education might be,
"oh I know what that means"-a state violated a treaty or a ceasefire,
perhaps. (Wiggins & McTighe, 2000, p. 102, Figure 7.2) However, the innate
absurdity of the phrase in the example, highlighted by stressing the
construction of the phrase in a chart, rather than tucking it into the
middle a paragraph, suggests that by giving the assignment about uncovering
the connotative and denotative meanings in such a phrase as "broke the
rules of war" can also be a pedagogical tool-for one's students as well as
one's self as a citizen and as a teacher. (Wiggins & McTighe, 2000, p. 103-
104)
| 654 | Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" tells the
story of a sailor who offended the powers of nature. In a dream, he comes
to understand the nature of his sin, and he shares his insights with a
stranger, a man on his way to a wedding.
This poem was written at the end of the 18th century, at the beginning
of the industrial revolution
| 295 | Ethnic Markets Retail Shopping Cultural Aspects
Although many in the United States are used to retail shopping,
whether in malls or smaller, individual establishments, few are aware that
the experience and cultural customs surrounding retail shopping in other
parts of the world can be quite different. Two excellent examples that
contrast sharply with the shopping culture found in the United States exist
in Japan and the Arab Middle East.
American shoppers are a pretty independent bunch. Except in the most
exclusive or high-end retail shops (think Rodeo drive), most American
shoppers prefer to be "left alone" to peruse their shopping choices in
blissful privacy. Indeed, this reality is best represented in the mass-
retail outlets most common in "middle-America," i
| 1493 | THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
'The Fall of the Roman Empire' is an enduring subject of interest among
historians and students alike and one that has sparked more passionate
debates than many contemporary issues. The reason behind this is simply the
web of enigma and intrigue that surrounds Roman Empire and its downfall.
Part of this mystery has been created by the contradictory accounts of the
fall given by various historians. It appears that every new book on the
subject leaves the reader with more questions than answers and it is for
this reason fall of this glorious empire and civilization remain forever
shrouded in mystery.
Arther Ferrill's book on Roman Empire's shocking disintegration is a
scholarly account of the 'fall' that many would find interestin
| 1060 | The Suffering of the Innocent in Bowling for Columbine and Iraq
The paper shall firstly deal with a review of the film 'Bowling for
Columbine' and its connection to the topic of the paper 'the suffering of
the innocent in Iraq'. Next we shall deal with a the solution to the
problem of fondness for guns of the Americans; How have the Iraqis suffered
because of USA's obsession for power and the ongoing War on Iraq and How
have the economic sanctions imposed by America affected Iraqis. Next the
discussion shall focus on the atrocities committed on Iraqis in the name of
War and the physical and mental hardships and after effects of War faced by
the men and the women and the children of Iraq. Finally the paper shall
focus on the suffering of innocent Iraqis even today and what is being done
by various Help Organizations to alleviate this suffering.

| 2624 | e-business Models and Benefits
There are many different e-business models in use in the world today, and
each has its own unique benefits. Since different businesses require
different strategies for audience targeting, sales, and marketing, each
business must evaluate each model, and determine which is best for their
purpose. This paper will assess three types of e-business models, those of
B2C (business to consumer), e-government, and nonprofit. In order to
present each model effectively, this paper will examine an example of each
business model, and compare the three types in terms of audience,
offerings, features, marketing, and benefits.
The business to consumer website is often used for commercial
purposes. The term applies to businesses or organizations that sell
products and services to consumers over the internet, as long as those
services are for the consumer's own use. The website owner sets specific
prices for specific merchandise, an
| 1829 | The Existence of Black Holes
While there are some physicists who believe that black holes do not
exist, there is much data to support otherwise. In fact, much evidence
seems to support the existence of black holes. For example, NASA's Hubble
Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory seem to have discovered "direct
evidence' (NASA 2001) of one characteristic of a black hole. This
characteristic is the area that surrounds black holes, which emits very
little energy. Michael Garcia states, "By detecting very little energy
from these black hole candidates, we have new proof that event horizons
exist" (NASA). Furthermore, astronomers have also detected sound waves
coming from what they believe to be a black home in the Perseus galaxy
cluster. (Discovery
| 603 | Justice: An Interpretation of Justice, What is it
Although many individuals have some idea of just what the concept of
"justice" means to them, one way of looking at the idea is that Justice is
a means of controlling society and some of its aspects such that the
"majority" remains safe. Of course, the way that this concept of justice
is maintained in the United States is through the court system.
In order for an efficient court system to function in the realm of
criminal proceedings, it is crucial for the courts to be able and willing
to prosecute offenders effectively. Without appropriate prosecution,
justice cannot be achieved. Further, without appropriate and fair
prosecution, both the innocent as well as the guilty can suffer.
Of course, one of the most v
| 1400 | Philosophy of Human Resource Management
My philosophy of human resource management can be summed up in the
following words. As a director of the human resources, my main aim is to
manage the human resource asset for the company.
Human Resources Management:
One of the first tasks of human resources management is recruiting--
attracting and locating people of diverse backgrounds for accomplishing the
organizational jobs. One of the steps in recruitment revolves around human
resource planning, which focuses on attracting and retaining the best
workers. Although traditionally human resources planning is usually
initiated by the staff members, it is becoming increasingly clear that line
managers need to take an active role in the planning process. It is
because of
| 2089 | From Stovepipe to ERP Key Considerations
An enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is multi-module
application software that helps a business manage the important parts of
its business, including product planning, parts purchasing, maintaining
inventories, interacting with suppliers, providing customer service, and
tracking orders. ERP can also include application modules for the finance
and human resources aspects of a business (ERP, TechTarget). Further,
larger ERP suppliers also provide supply chain management, customer
relationship management, and electronic commerce applications that are
integrated with their ERP software packages. To assist with the decision
to move from stove-pipe information systems to a more integrated ERP
approach, the paper discusses the pros and cons of implementing ERP, major
evaluation criteria for these systems and the leading suppliers worthy of
consideration.
The major benefit of ERP systems is the elimination of manual
processes that cause operational inefficiencies and poor data quality. The
following example illustrates how ERP improves the order fulfillment
| 1603 | E Marketing
In today's globally dynamic and diverse environments, a growing number
of firms are competing physically as well as electronically. A firm, like
a hospital, where I work, is creating an e-marketing strategy under an
overall marketing program. It is now a commonly known that e-commerce
presents several opportunities as well as challenges for the hospitals
(Conti and Warner,. 1994). E-commerce is allowing companies to bring
products into new markets, shift existing distribution channels more
efficiently and effectively (Cummings and Huse, 1989). Hospitals and other
health-care facilities are using a niche market offering through e-commerce
strategy.
The use of e-commerce in hospitals allow segmentations through

| 679 | Japanese Labor Unions
After the Japanese economic boom of the 1970s, many American companies
imitated many Japanese management methods, often in ways that challenged
union control. The idea developed that the Japanese did not have labor
unions in the way American companies do. Actually, Japanese labor unions
do exist and have an important role in the industrial life of the country,
though the nature of these unions may differ from what is found in the
United States.
Actually, Japan has more than 65,000 labor unions, but only one-fifth
of the labor force belongs to a union. Most of these unions are organized
not as addressing an industry-wide job specialty as would be true in
America but as enterprise unions whose membership is restricted to re
| 1817 | The Importance of Sound Financial Planning
The purpose of this paper is to explore the reasons why unsound
financial planning can result in litigation, compliance violations and
ethics dilemmas. The success or failure of a business is dependent upon
the soundness of the financial plan set forth by the business.
Failure to institute a sound financial plan can result in costly results in
the area of litigations as well as violations of compliance and ethical
rules.
A financial plan must take into consideration government policies.

| 320 | Egyptians and the Afterlife The Egyptian Process of Mummification
The purpose of this paper is to explain why the Egyptians took such
great care in the mummification process, including the role the religious
beliefs of the Egyptian played in the perception of the mummification of
the dead, as well as the probable reaction of Egyptians to our modern
methods of preserving and cremation of bodies.
Other discussion concludes with the premise of explanation to a
religious group's disbelief in the afterlife concerning "why do bad things
happen to good people'" In spite of the beliefs of some, wrapping bodies,
embalming, and preparing the body of the deceased for burial is not a task
that is as eerie as one might suppose. It is a craft that many cultures
practice as tediously as the artist when applying his brush to the canvas.
I. Why did the Egyptians take such great care in preparing the dead'

| 853 | Bluetooth Technology: What Does It Do and How Does It Work
What is the latest technology to be used in a mobile phone that
involves the use of cable replacement to pass on information between
devices and to communicate between disparate sets of computer peripherals'
(Bluetooth Wireless Technology) It is the new 'Bluetooth' that was
originally launched by L.M.Ericsson to integrate a telephone with other
Internet devices, (Mobile Computing: Bluetooth Technology) and is being
developed by PalmSource, the Company that developed the first infrared port
for the Palm handheld computer, which enabled users to 'beam' information
from one source to another with ease and speed. Whereas the Palm handheld

My company does not use an enterprise-marketing database; rather it

such as Web sites, retail outlets, call centers, help desks and kiosks,
across all company divisions or departments such as sales, marketing,
accounting, customer service, and purchasing, and ac
| 339 | Cultural Mis-perceptions
In M. Butterfly, David Henry Hwang presents a somewhat reversed story
of Puccini's adaptation of David Belasco's Madame Butterfly. Indeed,
Bernard Boursicot, the French diplomat in Beijing and Shi Peipu, a Chinese
opera singer, are the rather strange protagonists of a "psychosexual
drama"[1], where homophobia and racism, as well as cultural mis-perceptions
seem to join into one story.
In my opinion, the book itself and much of what lies beneath the
lines are much harder to grasp than what we see at first glance. The
cultural misconceptions that the Westerners have about Asia may appear as a
racial sexism obsession about the ideal Asian woman that the Westerners
have.
Indeed, the French diplomat sustains all
| 631 | SO LONG A LETTER: The Journey of Self-Discovery
"So Long a Letter" is a unique short novel and is quite distinctive in its
description of pain, humiliation, suffering and heartbreak since it takes
us away from western culture and lifestyle and introduces us to a new and
different culture with its own interpretations of various common issues
including polygamy and women liberation. I liked this book because it is
quite enlightening in the way it gives us an insight into the lives of
those who follow a different religion and exist in a seemingly alien
culture. This book gives you an opportunity to assess your own problems
from a different viewpoint.
Mariama Ba's novella is actually a long letter written by a Senegalese
schoolteacher Ramatoulaye to her friend Aissatou who share one common
tragic experience but have chosen to react differently. The book shows how
two people in the same situation can choose to react in
| 871 | The Future of Training in Technology
Introduction
The future of training and development in the workplace over the next
five to ten years will be impacted both by changes in the business
environment and technological advances. The entry of a new generation of
individuals who grew up with computers, changing definitions of quality,
and shortages of skilled workers will all impact the future of training.
Training must keep up with the rapid pace of change through a constant
vigilance in assessing technological and societal changes. Technology can
be a great boon to the training progress through reduced costs and training
time, but it is also important to consider that technology used without
appropriate care and knowledge can actually hinder training initiati
| 2191 | THE BIRDS ALFRED HITCHCOCK
Alfred Hitchcock was the master of horror thrillers- a genre that he single-
handedly created and developed. Hitchcock's films were meant to evoke a
blood-curling response from the viewers and the two films that managed to
achieve that completely were Psycho and The Birds. The Birds was released
in 1963 and while it was a total fantasy with no hint of realism, the
director used exceptional camera tricks and photography techniques to
convince the viewers that it could actually happen to them.
"The Birds was fantasy in purest form. Hitchcock deserted his former
dependence on classical unity in plot construction and occupied himself
instead with a strictly thematic approach, which, henceforth, became his
principal mode of o

Ratio analysis is a key tool to understand the potential and current
profitability of any small business. There are different types of
financial ratios, all used for different purposes. In general, they tend to
fall into three categories. The first category, that of liquidity ratios
are the standard measures of any business' financial health, and include
the business' standard and quick ratios. The standard current ratio for a
healthy business is two, meaning the business has twice as many assets as
liabilities, as tracked monthly or quarterly. Th
