Tom Peters’ book is a valuable asset to any representative of corporate management as well as an employee at any level in contemporary organization. Peters suggests that in the modern organization, employees who are in the “lower” ranks or at least those who are thought and treated as such by management see only the tasks they are given. (Peters, 2005) Many times when a project is started within a company only the higher-ups are privy to what the actual final goal is. The employees below management are only shown a small piece of the pie so although they may adhere to the task at hand they do not do it…

The telescope since the time of its creation would allow humans to pierce the sky and take a close look at the stars and space that attracts humans. In the following essay I will speak about what had been recently discovered with the telescope, and provide some facts and educated findings on the given topic. The first most recent discovery with the telescope was probably the unprecedented look at the Orion Nebula discovered only recently according to the Hubble Official website available at http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/newsdesk/archive/releases/2006/01/ and http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0601/11hubbleorion/. The discovered formation comprises over 3000 stars of different sizes with some of them never being seen in the visible light as one might…

I should start by saying that the workers’ compensation package from David Corp. is already in use. My company needs a general liability package to add to it. It doesn’t necessarily need to be the same vendor. We can throw out designing an in-house package because there really is no one to develop it, much less support it. In terms of our project, hiring a third-party to develop a new system not out of the question. However, existing systems vendors may be the best way to go. At least existing vendors will support their product. This ca be part of our cost/benefit analysis. In order to understand what services are…

D. H. Lawrence’s story The Rocking Horse Winner has made a great impression on me. From the very first pages we see how mother repeats her son that only lucky people can earn a lot of money. Paul, a little boy, rides the rocking horse in order to get money and make his mother happy. Paul’s mother is obsessed by her will to be rich and the phrase “there must be more money” we see in the story at least ten times. All mother’s conversations are connected with money and it is obvious that her children are greatly influenced by her obsession. Paul believes that he is lucky and starts…

As a rule, each philosopher is a unique personality whose view are exceptionally original and different from those of other philosophers, even thought they may belong to the same philosophical movement or discuss the same problems. Obviously the latter brings in certain degree of coherency in their works and often it possible to find some common features in the works of different philosophers, which, nonetheless, have their own particular shade of meaning, which makes the views of each philosopher to be still original and unique. In this respect the works of such outstanding philosophers as Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Immanuel Kant, and John Stuart Mill are particularly noteworthy and it is…

“Managers do things right, while leaders do the right thing” Richard Pascale (Managing on the Edge). In its most general meaning, management would probably be defined as “the process of planning, leading, organizing, coordinating and controlling people within a group in order to achieve goals”. This definition is based on the ideas Henri Fayol, the French management theorist, who defined five main functions of a manager. No one would certainly claim that these five functions fully disclose the meaning of the term “management” and all the activities needed to be performed to succeed. But this definition enables us to realize in what terms the leadership differs from management and why is…

My personal motto is a citation from one of the greatest men in history, Albert Einstein, and it sounds as following, “Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.” I strongly deem that in the modern world with its globalization and vanishing traditional vales it’s increasingly important not to lose human touch and connection. While living in Singapore I was exposed to both Western business community and local community. It was a pity to witness that the thirst for profit was the only human emotion available for some Westerners. I dare not argue that success is measured by money a person makes, yet…

It is apparent that out of the four sources of law outlined in the question, international treaties are most relevant to international business transactions generally. Treaties constitute a source of international law by reason of the lack of development in international relations of agencies analogous to the law-enacting and law-determining branches in the internal constitutional structure of states. While in every civil society or state there is always a legislative power which establishes, by express declaration, the civil law of that state, and a judicial power, which interprets that law, and applies it to individual cases, in the great society of nations there is no legislative power, and consequently there…

Of course, special kids are different from the rest, they have different needs and capabilities to studying. In my opinion all kids are special in their own way, but some of them have physical or mental dysfunctions which minimize their possibilities to be successful in some areas: either studying or sports. Special educational programs are created to meet the needs of these children, however, I believe that such segregation of special kids from normal makes the situation even worse. When special kids do not associate with normal they feel themselves not only different, but also unnecessary for the society they live. They think that normal kids are better, smarter while…

Problem of Humanism is of central importance for modern society, as it deals with people and considers them to be the highest value in life and creative vocation. The source of European humanism is believed to come from antique Greece. Here image of human starts to reveal itself. In sculpture of ancient East, for example, people’s images were still mixed with beasts’ ones. On the contrary Greek sculpture for the first time performed an idea of real human, revealing beauty and virtues of his external appearance and inner world. First statues resembled Egyptian ones in some cases. But they seemed to be similar only in appearance. Unlike Egyptian sculptures, Greek…
