Abstract
This paper looks at what defines an organization, explains the different types of organizations and the conditions necessary for their survival, and looks at the purpose of organizations and the needs they address. The different types of organizational structures are highlighted as well as the leadership, motivation, and decision making processes in organizations.
From the Paper
"The life of the organization is derived from knowing the purpose of the organization, knowing the people who the organization serves, and allowing the organization to take on the form which services its goals and beneficiaries. Just as attempting to open a can of soup with a sledge hammer would create an unsuitable outcome for the soup, and the hungry consumer, organizing a group of people is more than having a desire to perform a service, and having a group of people who are willing to work on that desire. The structure of the organization is a dependant variable on the purpose of the group. Within the structure, the leadership, communication, decision making, and channels these elements follow will all affect the level to which the organization rises in achieving its goals and purposes."

Abstract
This paper explains the three types of organization systems: the natural system, the rational system, and the open system. The paper begins by offering a sociological definition of the concept of organization and then describes the aforementioned organization systems and, in so doing, compares and contrasts each of them. The author concludes that the natural system, because it treats workers better and appreciates their needs, is the best theoretical construct to be pursued in practice by management types.
From the Paper
"Before proceeding too far, it is necessary to find out what is meant by the term, "organization". Finding a good - and succinct - sociological definition is quite difficult, but it appears as though an organization can be defined as an artificial, rational construction governed by policies and regulations that is also formulated with the intent of achieving some goal or objective. Going further, recent generations of sociologists have insisted that organizations are not simply formal creations bound by formal rules, but informal entities bound by informal internal cultures that can sometimes get in the way of pre-established blueprints (for a brief discussion of what the word "organization" appears to mean to sociologists, please see, "Organizations as Human and Social Systems II," 145). In a real sense, organizations are a hybrid of the rigid and the formulaic, and the dynamic and human."

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of non-governmental and inter-governmental agencies, followed by an analysis of the different issues that can adversely affect the post-conflict reconstruction process. A summary of the research and relevant findings are provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Conflicts among people represent one of the main problems around the world today. People continue to become embroiled in violent confrontations practically everywhere because of religious, racial or political differences. Often the parties in conflict are unable to resolve these fundamental differences, and the governments involved are either unable or unwilling to assist in the process. It is vitally important, therefore, that appropriate nongovernmental organizations and intergovernmental organizations understand the processes involved and the effects of their activities on the people they are trying to help."

Abstract
The paper shows that human resource planning translates the organization's objectives into terms the workers need to meet those objectives. Human resource planning is divided into three main steps; the first of which is to assess current human resources, the second is assessing future human resource needs and the third is to develop a program to meet future human resource needs. The paper describes how the term: "Innovate or die!" has become the rallying cry of today's managers. In the dynamic, chaotic world of global competition, organization must create new products and services and adopt the state-of-the-art technology if they?re going to compete successfully. The paper discusses different issues relating to the innovations in organizations and how the managers deal with it. The study includes examples of some organizations that have successfully adopted new methods to stimulate innovation. It also reveals useful methods and procedures that different types of organizations can use to improve and manage innovation and deal with the critical issues regarding innovation.
From the Paper
"The term creativity refers to the ability to combine ideas in a unique way or to make unusual associations between ideas. Innovation is the process of taking a creative idea and turning into a useful product. By just having creative people in an organization is not enough, it takes the right environment for the innovation process to take hold and prosper. Just like a flower requires the proper soil, watering, and light levels to grow. One of the factors influencing the innovation is the easy availability of resources, which provides a key building block for innovation. An abundance of resources means management can afford to purchase innovations, afford the cost of instituting innovations, and absorb failures. If an organization produces certain product(s) that has uncertainty in consumer demand than it becomes difficult to innovate. Further the general economic stability is necessary to instigate innovation. Many organizations recognized the importance of both individual and collective consciousness in producing autonomy and innovative behavior [Subramanian, 1996]."

Abstract
The writer asserts that it is not so easy to define non-profit. Typically non-profit organizations exist to improve societal conditions or to advance a specific cause; however, non-profit organizations are significantly diverse in size, origin, finances and types of activities. The paper looks at the difficulties in attaching the title 'non-profit' to an organization.
From the Paper
"According to Frances Hesselbein, president of the Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management there are 20 million non-profits worldwide, generating one trillion dollars USD in revenue annually; they change lives and build community and as such, represent a mighty force with immense capabilities. While nonprofit organizations enjoy a moral and philanthropic foundation of support based upon donors? views as to causes worthy of support from which to gather and dispense charitable resources, nonprofits do exist in a global marketplace. Only 27 percent of their revenue from private gifts, so their relationships with the business community are extensive. (Hammack and Young, 1993.)"

Abstract
This page explains that non-profit organizations different from for-profit organizations in the way they manage their finances and provide their financial information to others because, rather than making a profit, they turn their money back into goods and services which help others, pay their employees and pay their operating expenses. The author points out five financial risks, which must be managed in a proactive manner by the board of directors. They are (1) the cost of lost opportunities, (2) financial crunches, (3) uncontrollable costs, (4) increased difficulty with recognizing revenues that meet forecasts and (5) the lack of a successful model for management. The paper stresses that the accounting differences between the two groups are (1) accounting for contributions, (2) capitalizing and depreciating assets, (3) functional expense classification and (4) use of both cash- and modified-cash basis accounting methods.

From the Paper
"Nonprofit organizations often do not spend enough time dealing with financial issues because they are so focused on the mission that they are sworn to uphold. However, without paying attention to the financial issues as well, these organizations can run into real trouble. They need to orient themselves to the workings of their organization, financially, and they need to develop a budget that works well for all people involved and is realistic. Without a realistic budget, the organization will likely not succeed, because there will be constant struggle and upset regarding whether issues such as bills are dealt with efficiently and properly to ensure that the organization keeps running."

From the Paper
"People are endowed with a faculty for cognition. This enables them to think and reason. This ability makes every individual different, and therefore unique. A person's cognitive ability develops with growth and with the experiences that person gains throughout life?both good and bad. Different life experiences, upbringing and education help individuals to acquire variable ranges of knowledge and expertise. In the process of doing business, this variance in cognitive styles requires organizations to deal with a wide variety of individuals within the organization."

"HIERARCHIST ORGANIZATIONS
This research paper examines the utility and characteristic weaknesses of hierarchical or hierarchist organizations, public or private. From the standpoint of cultural theorists, hierarchically organized bodies tend to make effective and efficient use of resources for the purpose of maintaining themselves in power and are therefore highly stable. Under non-static or dynamic conditions, their capacity to resist change often leads to their becoming detached from reality and ossifying. Hierarchist organizations generally have within their midst or otherwise compete with elements of other types of cultures. Depending on the balance among these forces and the nature of changes faced by hierarchist organizations, their ability to accommodate and adapt to change can be enhanced .."

Learning Organizations, 2005.
An examination of the concept of a learning organization.

Abstract
The label, "learning organization," is commonly used, as if it represents a certain type of organization, implying that it is possible to designate certain firms as learning organizations and, at the same time, determine that others are not. The paper explains that in contrast, it seems more useful to think of the learning organization as a model of strategic change. In fact, the learning organization represents the fourth version in a series of strategic change models. The writer discusses how the learning organization model is emerging to help firms plan and execute significant organizational change amid rapidly changing business conditions.

Abstract
The writer of this paper ponders the question as to whether or not science is in fact cumulative. This paper analyzes Thomas Kuhn's essay: "The Nature And Necessity of Scientific Revolutions" which focuses on the cumulative nature of scientific knowledge as the central issue of consideration. This paper details Kuhn's two interpretations concerning what it means for science to be cumulative. The first definition contends that for science to be cumulative, old and new theories would out of necessity be compatible. In the second definition Kuhn proposes that were science to always move from some methodological lower to some higher type would result in a cumulative effect.
From the Paper
"Proving that science is cumulative does not in any way require one to also prove that old paradigms are compatible with their newer counterparts. What we need to show, rather, is that paradigms do in fact build upon one another. If this can be shown, the cumulative nature of science will in turn become apparent (hopefully). Given the acceptance of a paradigm, a number of other developments follow. Within the structure of normal science one attempts to utilize the given paradigm in order to advance science. By applying the paradigm, scientists attempt to develop further theories within its framework. From there these theories will eventually lead to either technological or social advances (depending on the science under consideration). In this pursuit of applying the paradigm, we eventually encounter anomalies which cannot be resolved within the given framework. Simply because these anomalies exist does not make it necessary to overthrow the current paradigm. Rather, these anomalies do not become a problem until a specific group of scientists find it necessary for them to be explained."

Abstract
This paper contends that poets vary in their views on nature. The paper discusses how Stevie Smith in the poem "Alone in the Woods" uses anger to convey man's destruction of nature and how Margaret Walker in her piece "My Mississippi Spring" conveys nature as if it were the most beautiful thing they have ever experienced or beyond carnal experience. The paper explains how other poets choose to personify it or give it some type of unimaginable quality or symbolic meaning. The poets discussed in the paper (Stevie Smith, Margaret Walker, Alexander Pope, 'Abd Allah ibn al-Simak and Pat Lowther) tend to all mean for the better of nature but all use different techniques. The paper explores how the poets use different themes such as anger and different techniques such as diction or personification, but all arrive at the main idea of exalting nature.
From the Paper
"Stevie Smith in the poem Alone in the Woods personifies the woods "Nature has taught her creatures to hate" (line 3). By personifying the woods she can now illustrate anger or "bitter hostility with words using the woods as the one angry at the human race. "As the sap paints the trees a violent green so rises the wrath of Natures creatures At man" (lines 4, 5, & 6). Further along Smith continues fortifying the his technique and idea on lines eleven through eighteen "Nature is sick at man, Sick at his fuss and fume, Sick at his agonies, Sick at his gaudy mind, That drives his body, Ever more quickly, More and more, in the wrong direction" (lines 11-18). Smith uses short lines and repetition which reaffirms his angry view on mans destruction of nature. On the other hand poets like Alexander Pope in his work An Essay on Man (epistle 1) display or convey anger but not from nature, he puts comes out and openly and describes man. Pope gives the idea that man is very possessive, Pope uses six possessive pronouns such as "Tis for mine...for me"(Pope 1-10). "
