"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 defines anger and discusses what happens when it gets out of control, when it can become very destructive. The author describes causes and effects of anger and explains that internalizing it can lead to massive releases of rage and even health problems when people finally allow it to surface. Different types of anger management methods are described, including relaxation techniques, cognitive restructuring and problem solving. The paper concludes with the suggestion that a valuable follow-up research project might be to compare anger between teenage or young adult male and female gang members to shed light on what causes people to join gangs, the difference between girls' and boys' gangs, and which is the angrier and has more potential for violence.
From the Paper
"What causes anger? Just about any stressful or negative situation can cause anger, and everyone feels anger throughout his or her lifetime. However, people react differently to anger, and to the situations that can make them angry, and that is often a product of people's temperament, how they saw others deal with anger, and how they learn about anger and managing anger. Some people are just angrier than others are, and they show it in different ways. Often, it is frustration that causes anger. This is called the "frustration-aggression hypothesis" and it shows that frustration can lead to aggression and anger in most people."

Abstract
A state government's ability to balance the competing objectives of affordability, flexibility and capital demands can be challenging. One of the important objectives of a debt policy is to define the measures of debt affordability. This paper analyzes the prevailing literature on state debt affordability. It investigates the methods of debt affordability assessment that state governments currently practice and finds that states typically have an informal approach to addressing key policy elements regarding state debt and state debt managers often have no clear standard for measuring affordability. The writer presents two methods for addressing the problem of affordability: A generational model that attempts to determine how much debt is being shouldered by each generation and a relative affordability model that compares states' ratios of debt to resources available. In response to the literature, recommendations are made arguing for the importance of including affordability assessments in debt policy, the implementation of more formalized policies dealing with state debt affordability, the refinement of the generational model for use at the state level, and the use of the relative affordability model as a tool for debt managers.
From the Paper
"Debt has become one of the most important tools of contemporary state governments. It is used to finance a plethora of each state's ventures every year. Since 1975, the outstanding state debt has doubled nearly eight times, resulting in a $548 billion dollar tab as of the year 2000. Generally, this debt is non-guaranteed and issued by different entities created by the state which are not bound by traditional centralized oversight and control. This long-term debt is typically issued to finance capital expenses (Brecher, Richwerger, & Van Wagner, 2003). These capital expenses can take many forms, ranging from homeless shelters to sports stadiums and everything in between (Robbins & Dungan, 2001)."

"Emergency Contraception
Introduction
In the United States, it is estimated that approximately 60 percent of all pregnancies were unwanted or mistimed at the point when conception occurred (Morgan & Deneris, 1997). Emergency contraception is the only contraceptive option that allows prevention of pregnancy after intercourse has occurred (Calebretto, 1999). It could offer significant reduction in the number of unintended pregnancies if given to all appropriate candidates, but opportunities for its use are often missed (Coeytaux & Pillsbury, 2001).
Studies have shown that providers= lack of knowledge about emergency contraception and/or misinformation about this method contribute to its underutilization. Media attention to emergency contraception has..."

Abstract
This essay looks at purpose of the pre-colonial economy in Latin America and the methods employed by the Spaniards to control the natives and production under colonization. It examines the diverse population the Spaniards found upon arrival, and how the Spaniards simply superimposed themselves upon existing structures. The four main labour systems used by the Spanish are outlined. The exploitation based on the economic systems implementated by the Spaniards is explored.
From the Paper
"The process of colonization within any one country or group of countries was conditioned by the pre-existing historical circumstances and the attractiveness of its resources to the colonisers. In turn, these affected the degree of exploitation and the nature of the developments that took place and consequently the level of marginalisation that occurred within the economy and society. The conquest of Latin America was carried out by the Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch and British. But it was Spain who secured the largest, richest and most diverse territory, and did so with great rapidity. Within 70 years of Columbus's arrival in the Caribbean, Spain had overthrown the Aztec and Inca empires and occupied most of middle and western South America."

Abstract
This paper explains that, given the paramount position of fertility reduction, people in China must use a birth control method unless they have justified reasons; they do have a choice among a specified range of contraceptives. The author points out that contraception falls totally on the woman, the majority practicing family planning or using IUDs, with little demand for contraceptives, particularly among rural families. The paper states that family planning programs are controlled by the Ministry of Health; local councils and other organizations enforce family planning but will not over ride the dictates of the state government. Includes a table contrasting differences between Chinese and the Western culture and values.

From the Paper
"China has changed the parameters of its health care system and is now focused more on patient safety and care. The center for policy and process is the Ministry of Health. In addition the National Institute for Control of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products plays a key role in enforcing regulations regarding drugs and biotech products.
The emphasis on economic efficiency also redefined the role of the Chinese government in the health care sector. There was a call for modernization and an increasing demand for urban health care services. However, even with modernization, strict controls remain in effect."

From the Paper
"Prior to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War in Massachusetts, General Thomas Gage - the British military Governor of the state - ordered that all private arms in Boston be deposited with the British magistrates, presumably to be stored and eventually returned to the owners. Many American citizens obeyed the order. They surrendered 1,778 muskets, 634 pistols, 973 bayonets, and 38 blunderbusses on the eve before British troops initiated their siege on the United States at the battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill (Halbrook, 1986, p. 151). Several years later, the event so impressed the framers of the new American Constitution that the "right to bear arms" was codified for all times in the Second Amendment.
However, the issue of gun control has reemerged in recent decades. Court interpretations of the Second Amendment have (...)"

"Organization. In virtually every type of organization, responsibility and accountability are inextricably related. According to Loren E. Newland (1997), "This concept is no less true in the lodging industry. For example, the food and beverage manager is responsible for ensuring that quality meals are served to guests. If guests are satisfied, the food and beverage manager receives the credit. If the guests express dissatisfaction with their dining experience, the same manager is subject to criticism" (45)."

At the heart of any well-run business operation is a sound theory of control and overall operating strategy. This paper looks at the importance of management control to the running of any business and examines how the process of control has changed with the introduction of the internet."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper consists of the various ways that individuals with anorexia use forms of control to maintain their disease. Specific control issues discussed are control over previous sexual abuse, control over social ideals of thinness, control over narcissism, and control over food. The author briefly describes the disorder itself, then spends most of the paper discussing various types of control.
From the Paper
"Research has been done on the ways control is shown through the expression of anorexia. Studies have shown that many anorexic individuals try to exert control over their bodies through deprivation of food because they have very little control over any other aspect of their lives. The aspects of control can vary from individual to individual. Therefore one anorexic individual may have one or many aspects of control in his or her life that is related to the disorder. Finally, in addition to the various aspects of control, an anorexic individual may have obsessive-compulsive characteristics that accompany the disorder. Obsessive-compulsive disorder and its characteristics are more commonly found in individuals displaying the behaviors of anorexia than individuals with bulimia (Hall et al., 1992; Wonderlich, Swift, Slotnick, & Goodman, 1990; Rogers, & Petrie, 2001, p. 181). Another disorder that can coexist quite often with anorexia is depression."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"The amazing economic development in countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore over the past fifty years has been accompanied by an intense interest on the part of governments in those nations in fertility issues. The nations experienced rapid population growth for much of the last century, but as much of that growth was driven by rapidly improved medical care and other aspects of development that worked to prolong life. The governments therefore implemented education policies designed to encourage people to wait until later in life to marry and to have fewer children. Such family planning worked to slow the fertility rates so that the population growths were slowed and eventually leveled. In other nations such as Vietnam and Laos, where economic development and education did not go hand in hand as expansively and rapidly, the population growth rates seem to have taken longer. This suggests that economic development can work to increase population, but that the growth can be curbed if it is coupled with social and education development, so that modernization is treated as a comprehensive program (Jones)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer covers four mechanisms of control used by Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and how these mechanisms reinforce desired behavior at the division President level. The writer examines the positive and negative aspects of these control mechanisms and explains how these control mechanisms impact the organization in its four key functions, which are planning, organizing, leading and controlling. The writer concludes that J&J joins a few other Fortune 100 companies in being able to encourage strong financial and ethical performance while continuing to grow and strengthen.
Outline:
Budgetary Controls
Market Controls
Clan Control: Culture and Empowerment
Drawbacks
Conclusion
From the Paper
"As demonstrated above, J&J allows a great deal of operating freedom to its division Presidents. It is similar to the best practices in industry, such as those at Baxter, Abbott and GE, in identifying and encouraging managers to develop. J&J states that one of the advantages of its independent division structure is its ability to give a lot of responsibility to top operating managers quickly. Although the managers have a lot of operating freedom, they must nevertheless respond to corporate cultural values; this is a central condition for promotion of division executives."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that organizational controls are aimed at achieving compliance between an organization's members and attempts to bring about desired outcomes in accordance to the organization's goals. The writer notes that managers within these organizations need to be aware of the importance of control and what forms of control are available to them. In addressing the topic of control, the author of this paper initially outlines the basic roles of a manager within an organization, and includes some examples. The author then looks at the importance of limits and boundaries within control to prevent confusion among employees. Next, the author explains a few of the different forms that organizations use to direct their employees and operations. It is then concluded that control is a very important part of an organization, which needs to be carefully addressed by the respective managers, as even too much control can have its problems.
Outline:
Introduction
Management and Control
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Policies and rules set out the expected behaviour from each individual and broadcasts where the company stands on a number of various issues. Some of these policies or rules may follow legislation or other requirements and may point out the company's values."
"Recruitment and training enables organizations to regulate the skills, abilities, values and motives of employees. This type of control attempts to align the goals of individual employees with those of the company and is used when outcomes or procedures are not easy to measure. This control gives organizations a chance to hire and keep good employees whilst training current employees in various areas to increase their potential."
