"Cisco Systems implemented an Oracle ERP system when it made the decision that its existing legacy software program was not reliable enough to handle existing operations and not sophisticated enough to allow Cisco to continue to expand and when management determined that every effort to fix the existing system was in effect putting one bandage on top of another. Ultimately the cost of the project exceeded ... million. The scope of the product expanded dramatically. The implementation team grew to more than ... people."

Abstract
This paper reviews two case studies whereby the workplace is covered by a collective agreement. In In the first case the collective agreement is not followed, in the second case it is a question of whether the employee followed a specific article. This report attempts to provide an overview of each issue separately, however both have merit in terms of launching a grievance. It should also be noted that this report only covers what this steward deems to be of top importance to making the decision to move forward on this issue.

Abstract
This essay discusses two case studies and how they relate to two different theories of personality development. Allia's case is related to Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory, explaining her poor self-esteem as a result of the mixed messages that her family send her regarding her place in society. The case of Jake discusses his failure to adjust in relation to attachment theory.
From the Paper
"By the time she was 13, Allia had been diagnosed with sufficient "endogenous depression" to warrant medication. Endogenous depression is related to internal, organic causes, with the potential of stemming from biochemical or genetic factors, rather than from external factors (exogenous depression). She did not present any biological causes during her therapy. Rather, it became apparent that her symptoms were related to her starting menses early, at the age of nine. She was given more responsibilities at home, discouraged from partaking in sports, and ostracized by other children. She felt that her parents treated her differently than they did her brothers, and judged her by different rules and standards."

Abstract
This paper discusses two case studies: AssetOne's merger with Taurus, and a manufacturing employee with resistance to change. In each case, response to change is negative. In the first case, the merger was handled badly, creating culture clash; in the second, there were multiple instances of resistance to change. The paper describes the situation in each case and recommends ways that they could have been handled better.
From the Paper
"The merger between AssetOne and Taurus was very poorly handled. Thesecrecy with which negotiations and the merger were conducted left employees of both companies blindsided when the merger was finally announced only minutes before it ..."

Two Police Organizational Case Studies, 2007.

2,340 words (approx. 9.4 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 71.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that each case study concerns a specific department, which is a "subsystem" within a larger entity, that displays "deviant organizational behavior". The author points out that an accurate analysis of feasible solutions needs to reference the harmful external forces and inadequate internal responses that characterize both cases. The paper concludes that the effect of the decentralization process was not the primary cause of the Maidstone Field Office problems but rather these problems were the result of an
institutional inertia that did not encourage effective work. The author suggests that the police officers themselves should have been empowered to find the solution to the problems, which might have included replacing the division commander with a more proactive officer who is aware of his or her leadership role.
From the Paper
"The Easy-Money section of the Maidstone Field Office, a revenue-
producing department of a governmental ministry, has been the only
section singled out and adversely affected by the organization's new
policy of decentralization. Although decision-making is still centralized in the Head Office, it is unclear whether the Territory Managers or the Production Head Managers are responsible for operations in this section. This has resulted in an internal stalemate because the Field Office Manager, Mr. Jones, and the Audit Supervisor, Mr. Smith, are unable to work together."

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."

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."

The Case Study
Recommendations
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."

The paper relates that the outcome is that only one case, the one related to propinquity, offers any concrete professional ethics related dilemma while the other two cases can be effectively dealt with through appropriate counseling techniques.

Kate
From the Paper
"Kate's experience and recounting of her divorce proceedings with her therapist reveal, to one degree or another, a certain degree of uncertainty avoidance on her part which implies that she is, at least in part, responsible for her husband's confusion regarding the divorce. Since Kate announced that she wanted a divorce, retained a law firm but continued to live with her husband and, essentially, to act in the same manner as before, it is reasonable to expect that her husband might be confused regarding the divorce itself."

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."

Abstract
The paper states that "Google" originated as a search engine that found its initial customers in the companies who would eventually become its competitors. The paper states that Google is transforming the online advertising business model while funding the development of entirely new generations of information-intensive applications. The paper highlights that from the case study, it is not in Google's best interest to move into a consolidation role within the media and entertainment industries. The case studies further show clearly that this role of media hub from a technology and a mergers and acquisitions (M&A) strategic standpoint, is definitely not the strategic vision for Google. The paper analyzes the situation and provides the foundations of growth for Google's future strategy, including potential M&A targets in key markets.
Outline:
Latent Semantic Indexing and Modelling - Critical to Google's Success
Google's Roadmap Begins With Business Processes
Google' Projected Roadmap Defined By Process-Centric Area
From the Paper
"Google's progression through paid search into hosted applications is well documented throughout the case study. When these developments are taken in the context of how both individuals and businesses from a process-centric standpoint, an entirely new set of market requirements emerge. These market requirements will be used by Google to plan out their next generation of products. Presented below are the dominant business processes Google today has the technology to organize data into knowledge for, and the traditional software name the process area is known by. Notice that all of these process-centric areas have legacy enterprise systems in place, meaning high costs of maintenance and support, and the need for greater levels of onsite service in the case of companies. A compelling value proposition Google will use to move into each of these specific markets is a strong focus on leasing applications, or the heavy promotion of Software as a Service (SaaS) which has been successfully relied on by Salesforce.com since its founding in 1999."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the Faith Community Hospital case study aka Let It Pour. The paper ties in course concepts of ambiguity, perception, individual personal values versus society legal and ethical norms, and communication processes. Included is stakeholder and brand (hospital image) concepts. The writer outlines the recommendations of the case study for the benefit of the hospital.
From the Paper
"?A good mission statement should accurately explain why the organization exists and what it hopes to achieve in the future. It articulates the organization's essential nature, its values, and its work? (Radtke, 1998, Para 2). A good mission statement is not the recipe for success in business; it is the grand global picture. To accomplish the goals identified in the organizational mission statement, identification of all stakeholders, support of key stakeholders, written policies, detailed written procedures, and effective communication are critical success factors. These critical success factors are the missing ingredients at Faith Community Hospital, the subject of this case study."
