Abstract
This paper discusses a high school girl's emotional development and academic standing. It notes that, while her school performance is quite strong, her emotional development is somewhat stunted. The paper details where the girl is lacking in her emotional development and suggests possible reasons for this lack. In reviewing the student's emotional and intellectual development, the paper looks at several relevant indicators, such as cognitive changes, memory and problem solving skills, imagination and creativity, self-understanding, and interpersonal skills.
From the Paper
"Angela Wu, age sixteen, was referred to the guidance department of the high school after several of her teachers noted that she had seemed unusually ?stressed out, even for Angela,? after mid-term exam week. Later, it was noted that her academic performance on her midterms was notably weaker than it had been over the past several semesters at the high school. After mid-term grade reports were sent, Angela?s parents called and expressed concern, asking if it was possible if she could retake several of the tests."

From the Paper
"Industrial relations tend to have a collective approach in the organization; whereby, the need for a trade union is much highlighted. The nature of the work climate has a direct impact on the viability of many human resource management activities. Where the climate is negative and the union strong, a company may not be able to perform various activities without the union consent. Such situations can foster a feeling in some managers that workplace relations are 'too hard'. This, in turn, produces managers who do not give priority to human resources, ..."

Abstract
This paper uses three different theoretical perspectives for understanding human violence, identified by Charles Tilly, to analyze why members of a German police battalion would help commit genocide.
From the Paper
"Charles Tilly identified three different theoretical approaches to understanding or investigating human violence that can be used as theoretical lenses through which specific examples of violent behavior committed by groups can be assessed. These three theories focus on ideas, behavior and relationships which constitute three different approaches to understanding fundamental causes in human affairs. The purpose of this essay is to examine the application of these approaches and the demands made by each approach for evidence indicative of a causal association between the analytic..."

The Human Development Index (HDI), 2005.
This paper discusses the Human Development Index (HDI), which was first calculated in 1990 by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) as an indicator of human development in both industrial and lesser developed nations.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Human Development Index (HDI) presumes that in a hypothetical ideal situation everyone would have the opportunity to make choices about the essential issues in their lives. The author points out that HDI is a helpful calculation method because it uses specific indicators of a nation's various developmental factors to create a more generalized index, thus simplifying a very complex reality. The paper relates finding of the application of the HDI such as investment in human capabilities is a never-ending process and it is not obvious that the payoff, in monetary terms at least, is greater when levels of development are low. Chart.
From the Paper
"This ideal state is assigned a value of one and the various countries' levels are calculated accordingly on a zero to one scale. This emphasis on empowerment is important to this thesis since it addresses the question of independence versus dependence. For example, in an ideal case everyone in the world would have the opportunity to use the Internet, because they would have the adequate educational background, pleasant environment without major factors threatening their lives and living conditions, and the economic resources to take advantage of network services. HDI indicates the distance countries have to travel to reach such equal and independent possibilities in reality."

Abstract
The paper looks at PepsiCo's recent decision to implement a new procurement tracking and data-keeping system for its international operations. It paper examines the objective that drove the change, the factors at play which made it desirable, the main participants in the new design, and the systems development cycle approach which would have worked best had it been implemented at the start of the entire process.
Finally, the paper looks at the problems and opportunities that would have been considered by the student if he had been in charge of the design and implementation of the new procurement system.
From the Paper
"The following paper will briefly review five questions which invariably arise when assessing why a particular systems arrangement is adopted by an organization. Specifically, the paper will look at PepsiCo's objectives for any Purchase to Pay system modification it undertakes, what factors were present to motivate the company to implement the project, who were the main participants PepsiCo had to involve so as to develop the corporation's revamped Purchase to Pay system, which systems development cycle approach would have been best for the PepsiCo project and, not least of all, what problems and opportunities should have been considered in conducting the initial systems investigation? This is a fairly complex topic, but the underlying truth it reveals are not especially complex at all; to wit, the case study of PepsiCo underscores how important it is to examine every option and scenario before making detailed changes.."

Abstract
This paper explains that the study focuses on the "talking", "conversation", "interaction", "collaboration", "listening", and "action engagement", which occur in the classroom and whole school environment, and examines the cognitive levels and meta cognitive aspects of students, seeking insight into the best practices, on the basis of the whole school environment. The author points out that there is a strong link between structured talk and purposeful talk among teachers and the development of thinking in relation to teaching and learning. The paper relates that the research used a qualitative rather than quantitative methodology, which allowed the research to be in its natural setting, in an open and responsive manner, permitting the researcher to get closer to the data sources and context of the data.

From the Paper
"The focus of the Project Teacher was in the working with the teachers in the development of their teaching and learning skills in the classroom. Each of the 103 schools received seven visits, each for one-half of the school day. The visits were timed so as to allow the teachers time in between each visit to test strategies of teaching and further develop them in an independent manner. Not at any time was this project, a.k.a. case study considered to be a "quick-fix" support program. Indeed, this project was to provide teachers with practical support in the development of effective and strategic teaching methods as well as to allow time for reflection on their own individual methods of practice. Further, this project provided necessary support for those in senior management positions for the purpose of embedding the new strategy firmly within the institution and administration of each of the schools."

From the Paper
"Kelly is a key figure in AcuScan as the Chief Engineer. As such, he rightfully expresses reservations about some of the assumptions other staff members are making, primarily Pat, but in so doing makes a few of his own: 1) On page 16 when Kelly says, "Product development just doesn't work that way" he is actually making the assumption that there isn't another way, 2) On page 17 Kelly states first, "we can't come up with all those features just like that," he is assuming that is the request, when in reality that is not necessarily what's being asked of him, 3) Also on page 17 Kelly says that Pat may not be familiar with "QC" making the professional insult and assumption Pat doesn't understand quality control."

From the Paper
"Such is the case in the hypothetical case study, consisting of real life situations from various organizations, blended together to emphasize key points in the world of business management. George Latour, the fictional CEO of the likewise fictional Retronics, finds himself in a dilemma; after 16 months in the role of CEO, he has achieved some growth in the area of sales, but overall, market share is slipping and competitors are slowly but surely eroding Retronics' bottom line, leading to George's being on the receiving end of substantial pressure from his board of directors."

Abstract
This paper presents a case study regarding the Program Management Division of the Ministry of Community and Social Services. The paper introduces the problems and challenges involved in the study and examines theories of public administration and how they are directly applicable to understanding the nature of the challenges in this case. In particular, the paper discusses the organization theory known as scientific management and how it is relevant to the given case study, with respect to the work environment at the Adoption Services Section.
From the Paper
"This being said, it may be that not all of the employees in these informal groups who are resisting the "new public management" approach of the ADM and government would be willing to take early retirement (Inwood 69). As a result, the ADM might consider contracting out some services instead of necessarily hiring more staff and rendering the crowded office space - in the case of the Adoption Services section - even more crowded. Given the staff's dependency upon a single manual filing cabinet, the ADM might be advised - as scientific management would suggest, together with the interests of new public management - to transfer these physical files to a digital database that could be readily accessed, and data corrected, by staff both on-site as well as any contract staff or staff working from branches or remote sites."

Case Study: BC Financial Services, 2008.
Examines problems of communication between employees in the case study of BC Financial Services

Abstract
This paper is a case study of a communication problem that developed at the BC Financial Services company. The paper describes the main people involved in the problem and points out that the communication behaviors of all of the team members contrast and illustrate two polar opposites with regards to interacting with others. The paper states that the issue in this case is how to communicate constructively with each other. The paper then suggests that an accommodation must be made for the fact that organizational cultures will have to change over time. The paper concludes that the miscommunication between two generations of workers in the case study seems rooted in the failure of one person to concede that his style of management is not creating the conditions needed for healthy, hearty and effective workers.

From the Paper
"Ultimately, this clash is a cultural one, a generational one, and is one that perhaps was unavoidable no matter what Chris did; after all, more than one theorist discussed in our course notes has mentioned how conflict is inherent in organizational affairs. Different people have different objectives and this means that the idea of getting everyone to buy into a new cultural orientation may be impossible. To wit, Ed Parker has risen to a position of prominence within the company by being "tight" with a dollar - by being a good manager in the traditional sense."

Case Study: Riordan Manufacturing, 2007.

Abstract
This paper explains that Riordan Manufacturing has implemented changes, such as a customer relationship management (CRM) system, servicing customers by a team rather than individual salespeople and a Six Sigma approach to quality, which have resulted in a decline in employee satisfaction, morale and an increase in employee attrition. The author states that the optimal solution for Riordan Manufacturing to attract and retain employees is to offer a variety of compensation and reward benefits to its employees, which will help increase motivation among its radically different employee groups. The paper stresses that, to manage the human side of change and the resistance to this change, leaders must have a clear sense of what the new company vision and goals are and what behaviors employees must exhibit to achieve these goals. The paper includes several tables that present summaries of the paper contents.

From the Paper
"Competing stakeholder values, interests, and rights impact decisions made by the Riordan management team. Shareholders are concerned with protecting the value of their stock and seek a higher return. With company sales lagging projected quotas for several years, shareholders are concerned about the worth of their investments. They do not see value in investing funds for employee rewards to improve retention and morale. Employees are more concerned with job satisfaction, personal opportunity, and compensation."

The Therapeutic Process: A Case Study, 2006.
This paper uses a case study to look at how to best find a therapeutic model that will most benefit the client.
2,925 words (approx. 11.7 pages), 8 sources, $ 115.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper provides an overview of multiple forms of therapeutic models and a case study, and attempts to find an appropriate therapeutic model that best suits the needs of the client. The person-centred approach to therapy is used as a means of framing the discussion. The case study is a woman who has recently been abandoned by her husband and with whom the therapist feels a close personal association.
From the Paper
"The therapeutic process is extremely evocative from an emotional perspective, as well as from the perspective of the degree of personal investment that the client has to dedicate towards introspection and the assessment of self-motivation. As a result, the therapist also needs to have a personal engagement with the client; the therapist's own personality and experiences are blended into the session, causing one author to comment that "one could quite rightly argue that there are as many forms of therapeutic practice as there are therapists."
