There were already massive corporate layoffs, business bankruptcies, corporate downsizing and restructuring, an energy crisis and over-consumption in the marketplace."

Abstract
The paper discusses that to assess an organization's effectiveness and efficiency one can analyze and evaluate the human resource of the organization itself, the employees and the management. The paper focuses on the interaction among employees, managers and the organization as a business entity. Linking both employee performance and conflict management, the researcher posits that effective and efficient employee (or team) performance is the result of efficient conflict management within the organization. In the framework of power-sharing, both managers and employees will enjoy an equal degree of power and authority when it comes to decision-making and this will keep organizational operations smooth sailing and continuous.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"At the organizational behavior perspective, then, among the many factors that influence the effectiveness of the organization, the variables team effectiveness and conflict management is analyzed, both at the member/employee and manager levels. These variables were chosen for the reason that they reflect the dynamics of manager-employee relationship within an organization, a dynamic that ultimately results to the efficiency of the employee as the creator or output producer, the manager as mediator between employees and the administration, and the organization as provider of goods and/or services."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Perhaps a superior approach would be to create specialty consultation groups based on area of expertise and whether it is a technology- or business-related project. Such IT specialty teams are typically headed by a project manager, as with the existing approach used by the Department, with an important difference. By creating specialty teams that provide full-time assistance to assigned groups, project managers could remain better informed of ongoing problem areas and performance. According to Luftman (2003), "In its purest form, account managers have full-time responsibility for 'managing the account' of an internal business unit, which includes developing IT plans, contracting for internal IT services, and monitoring progress on IT projects on behalf of the business unit customer. This type of integrator role has been found to be associated with achieving strategic alignment within firms with centralized IT decision rights" (p. 199). This approach would provide for improved communication between Department staff and OTT staff over the long-term based on continuing collaborative efforts and an increased recognition of what each organization is capable of doing for the other. This approach would also allow better use of existing resources by avoiding the need for every OTT staff member to participate at a minimal level in every IT-related project, no matter whether it is business- or technology-related. As individual strengths and areas of expertise are identified and refined, these groups could play an increasingly valuable role in helping the Department achieve its organizational goals."

From the Paper
"Analyzing best practices performances of leaders share several common attributes. Throughout this research, the validation of specific models has become increasingly clear. For example the model for exemplary leadership as defined by Kouzes and Posner (1997) encapsulates best practices that continue in practice today. Kouzes and Posner (1997), as all academic researchers have done, completed their own specific definition of leadership, which is "the art of mobilizing others to want to struggle for shared aspirations" (p. 30). In completing their research Kouzes and Posner (1997) also found that during the completion of their research, respondents defined research predominantly in the form of exemplary personal, professional and group-driven qualities, with several describing who leaders had a transformational effect on their lives, the researchers began to define their model more in terms of a study of relationships.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes one through three vital steps in change management. It starts with the need for the changes to be supported by those effected, moves on to consideration and justification of the changes and then looks at the need for a planned change process. The three steps are illustrated through the use of a case study of a memo sent out to staff. The paper concludes with an example of a revised memo, conducive to effective change management.
From the Paper
"Effectively implementing change depends on several actions being taken. Firstly, the changes made need to be supported by those effected by the changes. Secondly, the changes made need to be considered and justified. Thirdly, the change process needs to be planned. By focusing on these three areas, changes can be implemented effectively to ensure that they achieve beneficial results while also being implemented with minimal disruption."

Abstract
This paper looks at the importance of a company's crisis management strategy and how the strategy that an organization takes during a crisis can affect the long-term health of that organization. It also puts forth the theory that organizations often collapse because when a crisis occurs they are not equipped to deal with it in a quick and timely fashion.
From the paper:
"Planning ahead of time can help soften the negative impact of an ongoing crisis. Decisions made while planning for a potential crisis tend to be more rational then a decision made in the middle of a crisis. Develop a crisis manual that is simple and easy to read and make sure it is used; it is worthless if it sits idle on a shelf. All employees need to be trained so they know what their roles will be during a crisis. This training will help prepare everybody in the organization to avert or effectively manage extraordinary incidents. It is not possible to plan for all potential crises that can occur. Rather an organization should prepare an action plan that involves responses for various aspects of a possible crisis."

Abstract
This paper describes the qualities necessary to be an effective project manager. In particular, the paper emphasizes the "dreaded triple constraints" of time, money (resources) and quality, and a project manager's juggling act. The paper gives a bulleted list of the five areas of expertise a project manager must possess. The author concludes by stating that the project manager should adhere to the precept that he must always strive to be a good leader and manager.
From the Paper
"The Project Management Institute or PMI (www.pmi.org) is considered the de facto pioneer in the field of project management and they have a publication entitled "A Guide to the Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK)", which is now on its third edition. Any person aspiring to take up a career as a project manager or any person for that matter handling project management tasks should look at the PMI and the PMBOK first to get a good start and have a solid foundation in the project management career or job track. This is a good initial premise because for one, the principles evangelized by the PMI are in line with the standards set by the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) and therefore are considered generally recognized and accepted global standards and industry best practices. Second, the PMBOK is also an accepted standard by the American National Standards Institute. Having stated the points on ISO and ANSI recognitions, one can never go wrong by starting with the PMI and the PMBOK."

APPENIDX 1. Employee Survey
From the Paper
"The management structure at XYZ, Inc. consists of six levels of management with varying amounts of responsibility within the company. On average each manager has three to six people reporting into them and has to do performance reviews every six months for each person. In return, each employee would give feedback about their past months' development plan, how well it was managed, as well as their scalar's management style. This two way feed back in the hallmark of success at XYZ, Inc. It institutes the principle of Total Quality Management (TQM). Two way feedback has had the effect of maintaining a high level of Quality and job satisfaction at XZY, Inc. In recent year-and-a half employee feedback has been more negative than in the past with a ratio of 3,2:1. This increased ratio is of great concern to the Personnel Department, which advocates the policy of mutuality in business relationships. "

Abstract
This paper looks at the best way to manage an airline. It shows that in the last two decades, the highs and lows in airline equity values were not associated with operational factors, but were the result of environmental factors external to operations. Effects of new technology are discussed, as well as the results of the change in attitude of consumers and government towards the airline industry. It looks at successful airlines and claims that their success is due to their market orientation. Effects on the industry since deregulation are looked at. The many risks with which an airline carrier manager must deal are also examined and the need for ongoing flexibility is stressed.
From the Paper
"In the last two decades, the highs and lows in airline equity values were not associated with operational factors (strikes, competitive issues, loss of market share or an over leveraged situation), but were the result of environmental factors external to operations. Examples were the 1987 stock market collapse, the United Airlines takeover attempt, the Gulf War, and problems in Eastern Europe. These events have had immediate effects on costs including interest rates, energy prices and exchange rates, subsequently affecting the perceived profitability of the airline (Froot, Scharfstein and Stein, 1993)."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores the reasons why case management has been determined to be an important element for the cost-effective improvement of patient health. It looks at the objective of case management, the defined roles of case managers, their functions and responsibilities, the various models of case management in health care systems and the differences in these models, and how case management affects patient welfare and economic variables. All of these aspects are explored with the intention of demonstrating the value of case management in the health care system.
From the Paper
"In the face of continuing healthcare reform, it is crucial to examine strategies that will carefully balance high quality patient care with cost efficiency. The emphasis of primary care has become a priority due to the increasingly dependent elderly patient population. Services and care need to be provided that focus on prevention and patient empowerment for self-care, which ultimately improve health incomes as well as save financial resources."
