Abstract
The paper discusses the appointment of Immelt as the CEO of GE and how he surprised many by his approach to the previous CEO's legacy and by his vision of the company future. The paper emphasizes that Immelt's cultural changes are at the heart of the new CEO's ideas for reinventing GE. The writer explains how the changes push GE employees to new limits, influencing group and social processes and reforming collective attitudes and behaviors. The paper concludes that Immelt lays the groundwork for GE's long-term success and he will be the first one to push himself and his company to be the best they can be.
From the Paper
"The analysis of changes introduced by Immelt and their effect on the dynamics of GE organizational culture can begin by discussing the layers of GE organizational culture prior to and after Immelt's arrival. According to Kreitner and Kinicki (2006), at more visible level, company culture represents observable artifacts that consist of physical manifestations of an organization's culture and include acronyms, manners of dress, awards, myths and stories told about organization, observable rituals and ceremonies, etc. "

From the Paper
"Two recent novels--Dogeaters by Jessica Hagedorn and Rolling the R's by R. Zamora Linmark--illuminate different aspects of the Filipino experience, the first set in Manila and so in the Filipino homeland, the second in Hawaii and so a reflection of the immigrant experience in America. Both works reflect the difficulty faced in the conflict between the old culture and the new. In both books, the older generation is tied to the culture of the Philippines while the younger generation is seduced by American popular culture. In Dogeaters, this conflict takes place in the Philippines as the powerhouse of American popular culture beckons to the young. In Rolling the R's, the conflict takes place in Hawaii as people who have immigrated form the Philippines are exposed even more directly to American life and culture. The themes of class conflicts, assimilation, and the.."

The Electric Chair, 2004.
An analysis of the social implications and humaneness of the electric chair.
2,241 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper asserts that, although more humane than the often inefficient hangings that caused death by strangulation, the electric chair is far from painless and instantaneous. In addition, the paper discusses several social implications of the implementation of the electric chair. To support these hypotheses, the means of execution prior to the electric chair are examined, as is the history of the electric chair itself.
Outline
Introduction
Means of Execution Prior to the Electric Chair
History of Electric Chair
Is the Electric Chair a More Humane Method of Execution?
Social Implications of the Electric Chair
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Prior to 1890, most state laws allowed for capital punishment, typically by hanging. "Execution by hanging was a grim, hands-on business. (...) It took a strong stomach indeed to wrap a noose around the condemned man, then let him drop through a gallows trapdoor to choke and gasp and swing until he died" (Blackwell). Due to the inexperience and ignorance of many hangmen, hangings often produced horrifyingly slow, strangulations death, and grisly decapitations ("The History") as opposed to the quick, breaking of the neck that the process was supposed to incur."

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of the electric car and why the electric car should become our first choice of vehicle to use. It describes the importance of the electric car in terms of global warming, rising gasoline prices and America's dependency on foreign oil. The paper then describes how the hybrid car works and why it is a good compromise between the combustion engine and the electric car. The paper presents the writer's personal reflections on the issues raised.
From the Paper
"Global warming is all around us. Our glaciers are melting; there are more severe temperatures around the globe, not to mention natural disasters on a scale never seen before. There are several alternative sources of energy, from something as simple as harvesting the sun's energy, to something as complex as building a huge "exhaust system" out of our factories. The most damaging to our atmosphere is the combustion engine vehicle. Because we have the technology to make better cars, I made this the topic of my research paper. We, as a population, should do everything in our power to make sure that these dinosaurs of cars be put into extinction. They are literally killing our planet, and it is something that can be, and should be avoided. In the following paper, I will give facts to the testament of the electric car, and why it should be our new form of transportation."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of the electric guitar. Specifically, it discusses the history of the invention of the electric guitar and its primary inventor/developer, Les Paul. The paper also looks at what his contributions as a designer and as a musician were and how the technical developments in electric guitars and amplification have affected the evolution of rock music.
From the Paper
"Guitars have existed in history for thousands of years. Related to lutes, (which had only two strings), most guitars had six strings, and were designed to be strummed or plucked. It was not until the 20th century that the acoustic, hollow-bodied guitar metamorphosized into the solid-body, electric model so known and loved today. Many people often credit Les Paul with designing the first viable electric guitar, but actually, many men contributed to the electric guitar's history and ultimate success."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The need for an electrified guitar arose in early 1920's when musicians and bands became more and more popular and their audiences grew larger. The artists realized they needed louder and more powerful instruments in order to compensate for their increasing audiences and growing venues. Bands started using microphones set up near the sound hole of their acoustic guitars to amplify the sound. This was effective only in small concert halls where there was not a large space for the sound to fill. It also caused a problem when the guitarist wanted to move around on stage. If the player moved to far they would loose the amplified sound, needing the guitar to be very close in front of the microphone to produce efficient volume. The desire for an improved method of amplification was evident."

Electric Cars, 2004.
An overview of the history of the electric car as a predecessor to gasoline automobiles
943 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how it is often forgotten that electric "horseless carriages" took to the roads several decades before Henry Ford began his assembly-line process and how, for a number of reasons, these automobiles lost out to the gasoline-driven competition. It attempts to show how, in the last decade of the 1800s and into the early 1900s, electric vehicles were all the rage.
From the Paper
"When the U.S. Postal Service began using them for delivery, companies such as General Electric started profiting from their manufacture. General Electric began to produce cars in 1898, and achieved a land speed record for an electrical vehicle that went 39.25 miles per hour. This was a speed that gas-powered cars just could not meet (ibid 19). At this point, there was enough demand for electric cars that a couple of large manufacturing firms could be successful. Many of the individuals now recognized as leaders in the automobile industry were strong supporters of the electric car."

General Electric (GE)
Corporate Culture of Quality
Managerial Processes at GE
Top Executive Production
A Culture of Training and Development
GE's Training and Development Model
Conclusion
From the Paper
"These programs have proven very efficient at elevating GE's overall service quality metrics and this improvement is reflected in its ROI which is apparent through sales results by industry, division, and department where consolidated revenue rose from just over $134b in 2004 to more than $150b in 2005 (GE, 2005). For GE, it achieves remarkable growth results even from established businesses no longer thought of as growth industries because of its constant re-emphasis on service quality as a way to improve margins. This market success across all its core industries is directly attributable to its operating model based on Six Sigma as well as its corporate culture which emphasizes quality, performance, accountability, and, above all, metrics in every managerial role and position."

Andy Warhol's "Electric Chair", 2007.
An analysis of Andy Warhol's artwork, "Electric Chair".
720 words (approx. 2.9 pages), 0 sources, $ 25.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes and examines Andy Warhol's "Electric Chair", a stark and interesting image of an electric chair. The paper speculates why Warhol uses such an image, what the meaning behind it is, and what emotions it relates to. The paper suggests that the artwork is possibly a sign of protest against the death penalty, and that it reflects the human fear of lonliness, the unknown, darkness and death. The paper ends on the note that the artwork evokes the disturbing issue that no one truly knows what happens after death.
From the Paper
"The image brings about several emotions. The emptiness and lack of human presence makes one feel completely isolated and alone. The dark colors and shadows bring a sense of fear. It makes you feel that death is near. Death is coming and it is unavoidable. Depending on how one interprets the art piece one might feel anger or a sense of justice. If one were to disagree with the death penalty then this image would bring a sense of anger. The electric chair would be seen as a tool for inhumane treatment and bring anger towards the government that allows its use."

Electric Vehicles, 2004.
An overview of the history of electric vehicles and their development.

Abstract
This paper explains how the first electric vehicle was developed in the late 1800's and discusses how its technology evolved over the years. It discusses its features, as opposed to gasoline-based vehicles, and looks at the environmental benefits of the electric car.
From the Paper
"Given the small number of electric cars that are located on American roads today, it is surprising to note that some of the first automobiles used non-rechargeable electric cells. Although these alternative versions offered many advantages over their competitors that ran on gasoline and steam, for a number of reasons manufacturers began producing internal combustion engine automobiles in such large numbers that electrical vehicles became a thing of the past. In fact, electrical cars have only begun to make a comeback in recent years. Whether or not they once again gain a major acceptance level is yet to be seen."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Calpine Company, an independent power producer that was established in 2002, comparing it to the Pacific Gas and Electric company. The paper reviews these two companies from an organizational business perspective.
Contents:
Calpine
Pacific Gas and Electric
From the Paper
"In order to develop its business and manage the risk, the company has extended its activities, providing also commodity investment optimization, gas aggregation and arbitrage, logistics and settlement, risk management and energy management consulting. This creases the basis for more profit but also increases the costs related to the staff know how, to provide the appropriate infrastructure and all the cost incurred to the development of new projects (marketing plans, management administration, new logistics, etc). This may be a partially explanation of the overall increase in revenues of 4% (9.2 billion dollars) for the fiscal year 2005. To sustain that fragile figure of the revenue for the year 2005, it can be added that the energy market is a stable and a constant one, with a little increase of the market share during the time (the rate of the consumption is almost constant and it is not very easy to be influenced).
