"The Compatibility of "Command and Control" with TQM methods

Hypothesis
The traditional American management style of "command and control" can be compatible with total quality control methods.

Background
One of the difficulties with employing management methodologies is defining the relative differences between styles, especially in an age where customer driven total quality management seems to be leading the charge. The use of "command and control" leadership in business management is useful only to a degree, being in many cases a reaction to situations that have already occurred. Traditional management too often relies on ..."

Abstract
This paper describes the task of air traffic controllers, which is to ensure safety for commercial and private aircraft, and various issues they encounter in their work. First, the paper discusses how the air traffic control system is run by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and the ATCSCC (Air Traffic Control System Command Center) which is the at the head of all traffic control management. Then, the paper examines situations and conditions which can make the work stressful and difficult. Next, the paper considers staffing and management of air traffic controllers. Other issues that are explored include aircraft separation criteria and other safety measures. Finally, the paper addressed costs in air traffic control and the possibility of privatization. The paper concludes by discussing radar systems of communication and their importance.

From the Paper
"The air traffic control system is run by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration, which uses the airspace divisions to guide the system. The ATCSCC (Air Traffic Control System Command Center is the at the head of all traffic control management. Problems such as bad weather, traffic overloads, and faulty runways are also under the jurisdiction of the ATCSCC. There is one Air Rout Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) for each center. The function of this entity is to handle air traffic within each sector except for TRACON and local airspace. The Air Each airport has an Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT), which handles takeoff, landing, and ground traffic. The Flight Service Station (FSS) focuses its service and information on small airports and rural areas, where private pilots are in need of information such as the weather, route, terrain, and flight plan. The FSS also handles emergencies and search-and-rescue missions for aircraft that are missing or overdue."

Abstract
This paper begins by examining the Church's present position regarding the use of birth control, which includes a look at both the Protestant and Catholic Church's views, and then continues with an historical look at the Church's view of birth control prior to the 20th century. This is followed by a discussion of the Church's position in the 20th century and how and why this position has evolved over time.

From the Paper
"Birth control or family planning is one of the most controversial issues, widely and passionately discussed by the Church and one for which a clear answer or solution has remained elusive. With rising population rate, many experts maintain that birth control is not only important, it is critical for the survival of the planet. Birth control methods both artificial and natural have been widely promoted and publicized since the beginning of 20th century. Over the years they managed to gain wider acceptance and Church came under severe pressure to endorse or allow the use of contraceptives. The experts found that growing population rate was directly connected with food and water scarcity and was also seen as a cause of increasing environmental deterioration."

Managers and management as an institution has shifted dramatically from the command and control period of early last century and even from the consult and counsel period towards the end of last century.

Researchers such as Eisenhardt point out that the new economy requires that new strategies be developed and increasingly these strategies rely on the prioritization of technology applications (2002).

Abstract
This paper shows how President Truman seized control over the United Steel Workers of America in 1952 and clashed with the Supreme Court over this decision. It examines how the Supreme Court overturned Truman's decision, claiming that the President had overstepped his power and that his move was unconstitutional.

From the Paper
"It appears that over the years there have been many occasions when the President clashed with another branch of government, either Congress or the Supreme Court. This can be due to disagreements over the use or abuse of power. A typical example of this is the steel seizure case of 1952, which was when President Harry S. Truman seized control of the steel mills (Fisher, p.109). He claimed that his power as commander - in - chief brought him to this decision; however, the Supreme Court overruled the President's actions stating that he exceeded his authority (Brinkley, p.846)."

Abstract
This paper describes the privatization process that Poland underwent following the demise of communist control of the country. The paper describes the country's struggles with the transformation from a command economy to a market system as well as the positive results that resulted from the transformation. Additionally, the paper describes the lessons that were learned from the transformation process and concludes with a positive assessment of the country's economic future not only for foreign investors but for local investors as well.

From the Paper
"Even with all these positive results of small privatization in Poland, there were still problems with privatization as a whole in Poland. In September 1990, the Ministry of Privatization prepared and published its Privatization Program, Program Prywatyzacji, where it assumed that between 1991-1995, 50 percent of all enterprises would be privatized. At the time of the publication of the program there was a great deal of optimism that privatization and foreign investment would solve much of the country's economic problems and would be achieved fairly rapidly. "This illusion of rapid privatization became apparent when the newly established Office of the Plenipotentiary for Transformation Changes together with Western experts began preparing the framework for privatization in Poland. The foreign experts focused almost exclusively on a firm-by-firm sale strategy, which was similar to other programs implemented in other parts of the world. This customized approach was likely to bog down for political, economic, and financial reasons before a significant portion of the state firms could actually be privatized."

Abstract
This paper is about the manipulation of history by the government in George Orwell's novel "1984," primarily through encouraging the people to force themselves to recall information that never actually occurred. This paper explores why it was crucial for the Party to manipulate history in order to control those under their command.

From the Paper
"In '1984,' the people are subject to a type of control called doublethink, which allows the general population to accept contradictions that are presented to them by the Party. The source of the doublethink equation is found in the Minitrue (The Ministry of Truth), and through doublethink the Party is able to gain control of the minds of their people through getting themselves to doubt their own memories. Through this process, even historical events that are protected in the minds of the citizens are altered, and this therefore effectively changes history. The strategy of doublethink is therefore extremely beneficial for the Party, where the population is kept is what can be perceived as a continual state of confusion."

"According to the White House web site for example, the border protection unit comprises over 29,000 uniformed officers. At airports, security has been tightened to great degrees in less than a year. Airports all over the country now have over 45,000 Federal security screeners. These persons are highly trained to inspect all baggage professionally. The Coast Guard has also played an important role, having conducted more than 124,000 port security patrols, 13,000 air patrols, boarded more than 92,000 vessels, interdicted over 14,000 illegal entrants into the country, and includes more than 90 Maritime Security Zones."
