Illusions and Reality in The Great Gatsby Essay -- The Great Gatsby F.

     Ã‚   According to Cynthia Wu, no matter how many critical opinions there are on The Great Gatsby, the book basically deals with Gatsby's dream and his illusions (39). We find out from the novel that Jay Gatsby is not even a real person but someone that James Gatz invented. Wu also tells us that Gatsby has illusions that deal with romance, love, beauty, and ideals (39). Wu also points out that Gatsby's illusions can be divided into four related categories: he came from a rich upper class family, a never ending love between him and Daisy, money as the answer to every problem, and reversible time. Through Nick's narrations we can really see who this Jay Gatsby is and the reality to his illusions, and from this we can make our own decision on who we think Jay Gatsby really is. The first memory upon which the narrator meditates on is the story behind Jay Gatsby's true identity:   James Gatz-that was really , or at least legally, his name. He had changed it at the age of seventeen and at specific moment that witnessed the beginning of his career-when he saw Dan Cody's yacht drop anchor over the most insidious flat on Lake Superior. It was James Gatz who had been loafing along the beach that afternoon in a torn green jersey and a pair of canvas pants, but it was already Jay Gatsby who borrowed a rowboat, pulled out to the Tuolomee, and informed Cody that a wind might catch him and break him up in half an hour. (qtd. in Dillon 53) I agree with Nick when he tells us that Jay probably had the name ready for a long time. Jay couldn't accept himself for who he really was and couldn't accept his history for what it really was. Then it stands to reason that Nick is correct on page 104 when he states: Jay's imagination never accepted h... ...cording to Dillon, even though Gatsby had so much missing he did have one greatness and that one greatness was his illusions (61).    Works Cited Dillon, Andrew.

Natural Resources and Environmental Ethics

Natural resources essentially belong to everybody else if we are to agree with the presumption that resources are originally made available for the inhabitants of the planet including animals, plants and humans (L. 172). Not surprisingly, contemporary movements have rapidly spread across the globe like wildfire, pushing for the proper allocation of resources as well as the proper handling or management of these resources. The foundation for the claims of several pro-environment organizations is the idea that natural resources are for public consumption under controllable or permissible amounts. But how do we know if what we are taking is just in the proper number? How do we know if we already exceed the threshold?Part of the answers to these critical questions can be traced from the idea that human beings worldwide use various natural resources in many ways (Freeman 35). In more recent times, the global population of human beings has increased sharply, especially in countries that fa ll under the less-developed nations. With the economic status of every country responsible in a way to the total wealth of these nations, it is inevitable that an unstable economy will bring about harsh impacts to the living conditions of its citizens. And while the population mounts incredibly every year, the lowered economic stability of the less-developed countries will most likely prompt those who belong to the lowest point of the social ladder to obtain whatever they can from the natural resources (Burns 444).As one will observe, an increasing number of people whose lives depend on the immediate or at least available natural resources will most probably result to a sharper decline in the quantity and quality of these natural resources. Take for example India whose population outnumbers almost every country in the world. With a steady growth of the population and with a national economy just enough to supplement the lives of a few, the people of India tend to obtain whatever the y can from the country’s natural resources (Bach 157). Sum all of these individuals altogether by the millions and the decline in the quality and quantity of the natural resources will proportionally decrease—or perhaps even more than that.This and other related issues involved in the dwindling of the natural resources have caught the attention of the world. This indicates that the problem is not a small one that easily abates. Rather, having the rest of the world pin their attention to the central problem of handling natural resources is a huge indicator that the problem existing are serious. Further, it also indicates the idea that the world may have taken more than what it needs or, at the least, the world has consumed beyond the amount it can handle. In fact, the very existence of the problem of the dwindling of the natural resources is enough to indicate that the limit has been reached and the time to recess from activities that consume a lot of these resources sh ould be taken urgently (Randall 144).Yet it remains a fact as well that people need these natural resources in order to live. Natural resources such as fossil fuels and water are primary elements that comprise the needs of almost every other nation in the world. While fossil fuels and water both share the primary goal of prolonging the life of man and the society, their depreciating amounts and quality both share several effects (Knight 183).Nevertheless, it is beyond question and doubt that these natural resources are needed to further the lives and activities of mankind. And in order to completely realize this goal, it must also be the case that humanity should learn how to preserve what little they have left. Otherwise, these natural resources may soon dry up or degrade in quality.Thus, numerous global efforts have since been established in order to meet and counter the unwanted effects of overusing or abusing the remaining natural resources. At the core of all these efforts dwel ls the central message that the environment must be protected in order to meet these established goals. One example to this is the fact that a number of countries resort to crafting legislations that seek to undermine the perceived ill-effects of a nation bereft of natural resources.Private entities and non-government organizations also share an equally significant role in deterring these unwanted effects of the decline in the natural resources. There are various measures being advocated and called for by numerous environmental organizations that operate in many different countries. Nevertheless, the point is that the environment must be preserved and protected for human life depends on it as well as the coming generations.However, it remains a fact as well that there are already existing and proliferating problems with regard to the depletion and overconsumption of the natural resources that the world has left. This is why there are organizations that seek to combat these unwanted instances. Quite apart from the fact that the government has a significant role in countering the dwindling amounts of natural resources (Cotner 90), big and private corporations also share an equal amount of responsibility—if not more—in sustaining the natural wealth in the environment. Yet there is the presence of the negative conditions of these natural resources. This only indicates the idea that tasks were not properly enforced or performed in protecting the environment.The decline in the natural resources can be attributed to the lack of rules and regulations that prohibit and prescribe certain actions of man towards the environment. With the absence of laws that seek to sustain and uplift the status of the environment, it is no surprise that there exist the corresponding effects on the natural resources. Moreover, the lack of governmental commitment in addressing these issues also contributes to the continuing degradation of these resources (Toothman 69).Another thing is that there are corporations and other business establishments that utilize a certain fraction of the natural resources yet fail to meet or at least craft proper business ethics that will guide their company’s actions in the proper path. Without these ethical principles of conduct, business establishments then have all the freedom to consume everything they want more than what they need and to use them in whatever possible way one can conceive of.The protection of these natural resources should not be taken to mean as a sole responsibility of the government or of the corporations. Rather, public and private individuals should also take part in the call for the protection of the environment. Environmental groups can lobby in congress possible bills that will address the existing environmental problems or will ensure the protection of the natural resources by imposing functional sanctions to those who seek to deter the law with regard to the environment (Kinney A144). The congress is one of the most recognizable public places that give voice to individuals and groups that further goals that concern the entire nation and even the rest of the world.One of the most notable examples to the volumes of campaigns that have been pushed forward under the banner of environmental protection is the campaign of Al Gore. In his seminar documentary entitled An Inconvenient Truth, Gore discloses before the public the root causes, existing conditions, and future implications of global warming (Tenenbaum A366). His campaign does not only involve the call for a larger and more unified response from the people all over the world. Rather, his campaign also gives full credit to the simple efforts individuals do in their homes and in their locality in order to preserve the natural resources and reverse the ill conditions that beset our natural environment today.There are still many unheard-of documentaries and seminars worldwide that seek not only to inform the public and increase their awareness on the issues that tackle natural resources but also provide alternatives and solutions to the lifestyles and habits of humanity that appear as one of the root causes of the degradation of the natural resources. It remains a fact that there are already existing efforts in countering, or at least lessening, the current environmental degradation we have today. It also sends us the idea that while there are environmental groups that seek to promote the status of the environment our natural resources can never be safely returned to its healthy state.The more important question remains: how do we save our environment for the coming generations? Before solutions can ever be thrown upon this question, one must first recognize the more essential question: who has the responsibility? The answer seems obvious as the fact remains that natural resources primarily belong to the public—hence, the idea that the responsibility dwells not on a single group or indi vidual but to every other person in the world, who has existed, is existing, and will exist.Part of being human is the necessity to preserve the natural resources that contribute to the very existence of the whole humanity. Yet the list of the responsible people does not simply end there. Rather, it is only the beginning of a grander scheme—that is, governments and corporations are also required to partake in the global efforts to salvage the natural resources and prevent them from eventually being consumed in whole with nothing left but memories in the basin of human forgetfulness.This brings us back to the first question posed: how do we save our environment for the generations to come? The answer may seem trivial and difficult to comprehend at first. Yet, it seems that nothing can be easier to answer than the question just given basically because human consumption necessitates human awareness of what is being consumed. What are being consumed are the natural resources of t he world which belong to the public. By being aware that these natural resources are in limited supply, proper care must be given to these resources through every possible means no matter how big or how small it may be. To save the environment for the next generation means to come up with all things possible in order to prolong the remaining resources, and to come up with these things is to be able to actualize them no matter where the individual resides or what group he or she belongs to.ReferencesBach, George Leland. â€Å"Economic Requisites for Economic Stability.† The American Economic Review 40.2 (1950): 157.Burns, Arthur. â€Å"Progress Towards Economic Stability.† The American Economic Review 50.3 (1960): 444.Cotner, Melvin L. â€Å"A Policy for Public Investments in Natural Resources.† American Journal of Agricultural Economics 51.1 (1969): 90.Freeman, Otis W. â€Å"Natural Resources and Urban Development.† Annals of the American Academy of Polit ical and Social Science 242 (1945): 35.Kinney, Joe. â€Å"Addressing Global Warming.† Environmental Health Perspectives 111.3 (2003): A144.Knight, Richard L. â€Å"On Improving the Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences: A Comment.† The Journal of Wildlife Management 57.1 (1993): 183.L., W. â€Å"The Real Origins of Property in Natural Resources.† American Journal of Economics and Sociology 45.2 (1986): 172.Randall, Robert H. â€Å"Conservation of Natural Resources.† Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science 206 (1939): 144.Tenenbaum, David J. â€Å"Global Warming.

Communication Process - 1412 Words

Communication can best be summarized as the transmission of a message from a sender to a receiver in an understandable manner. The importance of effective communication is immeasurable in the world of business and in personal life. From a business perspective, effective communication is an absolute must, because it commonly accounts for the difference between success and failure or profit and loss. It has become clear that effective business communication is critical to the successful operation of modern enterprise. Every business person needs to understand the fundamentals of effective communication. Currently, companies in the United States and abroad are working toward the realization of total quality management. Effective†¦show more content†¦Although in many cases, both oral and written channels should be used because one supplements the other. If a sender relays a message through an inappropriate channel, its message may not reach the right receivers. That is why senders need to keep in mind that selecting the appropriate channel will greatly assist in the effectiveness of the receiver s understanding. The sender s decision to utilize either an oral or a written channel for communicating a message is influenced by several factors. The sender should ask him or herself different questions, so that they can select the appropriate channel. Is the message urgent? Is immediate feedback needed? Is documentation or a permanent record required? Is the content complicated, controversial, or private? Is the message going to someone inside or outside the organization? What oral and written communication skills does the receiver possess? Once the sender has answered all of these questions, they will be able to choose an effective channel. After the appropriate channel or channels are selected, the message enters the decoding stage of the communication process. Decoding is conducted by the receiver. Once the message is received and examined, the stimulus is sent to the brain for interpreting, in order to assign some type of meaning to it. It is this processing stage that constitutes decoding. The receiver begins to interpret the symbols sent by the sender, translating theShow MoreRelatedThe Problem Of Inter Process Communication965 Words   |  4 PagesInter-process communication is crucial as processes need to communicate with one another often.

The Kingdoms Of Judah And Israel - 1982 Words

The Kingdoms of Judah and Israel from ca. 922 to 586 BCE have a significant impact not only on the Jewish tradition, but also on the history of Ancient Israel and its development, therefore it is important to discuss their political structure and influence. To discuss the political structure and developments of this period modern scholars refer to as the divided monarchy in Ancient Israel, there must first be a discussion of the political and religious factors that bring about the unification and later division of the tribes of Israel. In the Hebrew Bible, various tribes are depicted as encompassing the land of Canaan prior to a time modern scholars refer to as the united monarchy, which refers to the rule of King Saul, David and Solomon.†¦show more content†¦The inability of the three great powers of the time, Egypt, Assyria and Babylon, to exert influence over lesser entities such as the philistines greatly contributed to their rise in power. The culmination of these event s lead to a desire and almost obligation of political unification under a monarch for the tribes of Israel because their internal weakness threatened their very existence. Nevertheless, contrary to the depiction in the Hebrew Bible, the tribes appear to maintain a significant amount of autonomy during the monarchy, which leads to the demise of the small unified monarchy and the development of two split kingdoms, Israel and Judah, that is found in I Kings 12. This is a result of increased demands and pressure from King Solomon that would have escalated if his son Rehoboam came to power over the lands of Israel. However, many scholars such as Beth Alpert Nakhai, attest that hints of disunity between Judah and other tribes were present through rebellions in David and Solomon’s reigns. Therefore, leaders of the various tribes elected to anoint a new king over their lands that would politically unite them enough to protect them from outside threats, while still maintaining their r elative autonomy over their own tribes, making the kingdom of Israel a dispersed state with various religious and political centers. On the other hand, the kingdom of Judah maintained not only unity

Body Image and Media free essay sample

Image and the media The idea of the ‘perfect’ body is pasted everywhere in the media. Whether it’s on the catwalk, in Hollywood, or in glossy magazines, the message is clear: skinny is sexy, or if you’re a guy, six packs are definitely in. With these sorts of media messages bombarded at us every single day, it is pretty hard to be happy with our bodies and have high self-esteem, unless, you already have the body that the media and the fashion industry thinks is ideal. And so what is ‘ideal’? Well, for women it’s thin, long legs, relatively tall, flawless skin. For men it’s muscular, tall, and just look ‘manly’ in general. There are many ways the media can influence us, whether it’s in TV shows or movies, magazines, and maybe even in the newspapers. However, the main culprit is definitely advertisements. Advertisements are especially dangerous because the people advertising the products can be easily manipulated into something more ‘beautiful’ then they already are. We will write a custom essay sample on Body Image and Media or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Pictures can be airbrushed, cropped, erased and merged to look like something completely different just like the picture below. The model’s waistline has shrunk dramatically, and her neck appears to be longer, she also has lighter skin and brighter eyes. Pictures like these are then pasted everywhere to convince you to buy the products so you can look, or at least feel like whoever is advertising the products. This can have a detrimental effect on certain people buying the products, because not everything advertised is real. For example, you buy the shampoo that Miranda Kerr is advertising to make your hair stronger and more nourished. You use it at home and you don’t see much change. But then it hits you, you didn’t buy the shampoo because it said it was going to make your hair more nourished, you bought it just because Miranda Kerr was advertising it and you want to be and look like her. The advertising industry knows these can be the behaviour of some consumers so they deliberately put a world renowned supermodel there so it can attract you. Some people may find that hard to come to terms with and they realise they are never going to look like or be like the people who advertise these products, just because they are using whatever is being promoted. By doing this, they are putting themselves down and can lead to other consequences like excessive spending on other products because they think the first product didn’t work, extreme dieting which can lead to anorexia and bulimia, and even a decline in social interactions. Other types of media, like TV shows and movies can also influence adolescents greatly. One worrying sign is the fact that most TV and movie stars are thin, with no gram of fat visible on them. For example yesterday, I was watching ‘Australia’s number 1 drama’, Revenge. You may ask, what’s so special about that? Well, not that much apart from the fact all the characters, and I mean every single one of them were all thin. The consequences of adolescents watching this can vary from person to person, but I think the main question is in everyone’s minds, ‘do I have to look like that to be accepted by society? Then you see advertisement promoting underwear and bras with another bunch of super-skinny models, and that answers your question; ‘yes’. But is there anything stopping these advertisements and media messages which are eating away into girls’ self-esteem and confidence about their bodies? Well, there are no laws that say you have to have at least one curvy woman or man in an advertisement, so it’s really down to the moral obligations of the media. They morally shouldn’t advertise or cast movies and TV shows only with thin people, and they shouldn’t discriminate against people just because of their looks or weight. No matter what, don’t ever feel put down by advertisements, TV shows, movies, and magazines because they’ve all be altered in one way or another. Pictures can be airbrushed and actors, actresses and models go through strenuous diets and exercise to become unnaturally skinny. And always remember to be healthy and happy, cause in the end, that’s what’s really most important in life.

T J Rodgers Essay Sample free essay sample

Question 1 How would you depict the direction manner of T. J. Rodgers? T. J. Rodgers direction manner is described as aggressive. strict and down right in your face. As CEO. Chief Executive of Cypress Semiconductor and writer of the book. â€Å"No Excuses Management† . Rodgers has developed an about fright inducing direction manner. On the wall of his San Jose. California office hangs a plaque that reads. â€Å"BE REALISTIC. DEMAND THE IMPOSSIBLE† which exemplifies precisely what Rodgers expects from his employees. Perfection! At Cypress he disregards anyone who engages in what he considers sloppy thought and no 1 is shielded from his wrath. He’s known for what some employees refer to as his â€Å"drooling psycho face. † which features pouching venas and narrowed eyes. followed by some fist buffeting and a bombardment of verbal whipping that leaves no uncertainty of his displeasure. Surprisingly honest about what he calls his punishment direction manner. Rodgers describes working at Cypress as â€Å"crawling through a boggy battleground. We will write a custom essay sample on T J Rodgers Essay Sample or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page † It is said that in the yesteryear. some employees complained about the long hours. Rodgers got some old ground forces fingerstalls and pillows and placed them outside the bathrooms to remind them how easy they had it merely working 12 to 14 hr yearss as compared to when he and other company laminitiss used these fingerstalls in the early 1980s when some literally slept in the office. One thing remains certain nevertheless. no 1 has of all time accused Rodgers of holding a dual criterion. He holds himself merely every bit accountable as he holds his employees. At one point the CEO fell behind is his ain responsibilities and got his wage look into cut off. He later had to sell some of his Cypress stock to pay his measures. Question 2 How suited is Rodgers’ attending to detail for a top degree director? â€Å"If everyone in our company made ordinary concern determinations in a commonsensible manner. we would be unstoppable. † says Rodgers. â€Å"It turns out that really few people at our company or anyplace else make ordinary concern determinations in a commonsensible manner. Most companies don’t fail or deficiency of endowment or strategic vision. they fail or lack executing. † This is why Cypress direction systems track corporate. departmental and single public presentation so on a regular basis and pays so much attending to detail that no director. including himself can practicably claim to be in the dark sing any critical issues. The system that Rodgers and his top degree direction developed. gives them the capacity to supervise what’s go oning at all degrees of the organisation so to expect jobs or struggles and intervene when appropriate every bit good as to place the best patterns without making any bureaucratic ruddy tape that impedes determinations and depletes morale. Cypress patterns a no surprises manner of life and emulates words such as subject. answerability and relentless attending to detail at every degree of the organisation. Top degree directors at Cypress disagree smartly on many things in their direction meetings but they disagree over substance and the best possible ways to do the most effectual determinations. which are the kernel of direction. Question 3 How would you wish to work straight for T. J. Rodgers? Why? Working for T. J. Rogers could be seemed as inconducive for some people if they are non self motivated. Working for an employer who accepts nil less than flawlessness. force his employees to make significantly more than merely what is expected of them and would drive them to accept nil less than flawlessness from themselves. Another inducement that would actuate me to desire to work straight for such an employer is the fact that. at Cypress. net income sharing tied to corporate public presentation is distributed every bit among the employees and Rodgers gets no more than any of the company’s employees. This to me would be a win win state of affairs because it would demo me that my employer portions the wealth alternatively of stashing it all among the top direction and other managers. Rodgers respects is boot camp direction regiment as a character edifice tool. As a member of the United States Marine Corps such a direction manner is an mundane manner of life for us Mariness. Keeping oneself accountable for 1s actions or deficiency thereof. is a direct contemplation on our leaders and or ain enterprise. Being mean or lone making what is expected is extremely frowned upon in the Marine Corps. The Marine who separates him or herself as a incentive and goes supra and beyond the call of responsibility is regarded as a good Marine and is later given more duties which provides greater occupation enrichment. At Cypress. public presentation based compensation is a great tool for more efficient end product. In the Marine Corps nevertheless. a Marine may non ab initio be compensated monetarily for greater end product as they do at Cypress. but would see such compensation in footings of better pros and cons and or fitness studies. which in bend sets up the Marine for promotional chances every bit good as an addition in wage with each publicity. So in shutting. I wouldn’t mind working for T. J. Rodgers even with his boot cantonment direction manner because I already work in such an environment. I wouldn’t mind working straight for Rodgers besides because. he portions net income with corporate public presentation every bit between himself and all his employees. Question 4: What possible negative effects do you see ensuing from the enlisting and choice systems at Cypress? Cypress Semiconductor has an aggressive attack when hiring and believes that engaging is an indispensable foundation of any successful company. Cypress will do an interview â€Å"tough as hell† even when a campaigner is seen as being a good tantrum. The psychological science behind this is to do the occupation seem more desirable since it is highly hard to acquire in. The intense hiring procedure consists of 3 unit of ammunitions. The first assesses productiveness. proficient ability/skills and values. The 2nd buttockss ability to work under force per unit area in which several people ask the occupation campaigners proficient inquiries that they are improbable to be able to reply merely to see how they handle force per unit area. This is referred to as the ‘pack of wolves’ session. The 3rd one consists of thorough mention checking. Rodgers believes that â€Å"If you hire the best. you become the best. During an economically thin clip. it is important to be really systematic and nonsubjective in your appraisal of campaigners you hire. reassign or promote† In his missive to Sister Doris Gormley. ( Director of Corporate Social Responsibility for The Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia ) dated May 23. 1996 ; T. J. Rodgers responds to claims made by the Sister that Cypress should seek to â€Å"enrich the Board by seeking qualified adult females and members of racial minorities as nominees† . The claim made on Cypress Semiconductor was that its Board of Directors needed to include adult females and minorities in order for the company to look â€Å"moral† . Rodgers sought to sketch that his company hires members of the Board by 3 basic demands: Experience as a CEO of an of import engineering company Direct expertness in the semiconducting material concern based on instruction A ; direction Experience Direct experience in the direction of a company that buys from he semiconducting material industry. He pointed out that his demands would give â€Å"a male who is 50-years asset. has a Masters Degree in technology scientific discipline and has moved up the managerial ladder to the top topographic point in one or more corporations† This is where Disparate Impact comes in. Disparate Impact has been defined by World Wide Web. businessdictionary. com as the inauspicious consequence of a criterion or pattern that is impersonal and non-discriminatory in its purpose but however affects persons holding a disablement or belonging to a peculiar group based on age. gender. ethnicity. race or sex. In drumhead. his choice procedure is to the full based on the nature of the occupation and does non know apart against adult females or minorities. An attack such as this. while strict. can barely be viewed as being negative because the company is merely taking these steps to guarantee that they invest in the best. most suited individuals for the assorted occupation capacities. The company nevertheless falls short in one country ; one facet of the choice procedure involves the completion of a â€Å"career way questionnaire† . The aim of the questionnaire is to decode personality traits so as to find if a campaigner fits into the civilization of Cypress. This procedure boundary lines on favoritism. in that. a campaigner may be denied a occupation offer because his personality on paper. and non in actuality. will supplant his academic makings and proficient accomplishments. A occupation study carried out on World Wide Web. jobsandcareer. com. to find employee reappraisals of the company garnered similar responses from a few employees when asked about the work civilization at Cypress. They inferred that working at Cypress can be a good experience so long as you find yourself with the right foreman or in the right group. One employee elaborated by stating that the best and safest manner to acquire by was to non be excessively different from your equals and higher-ups. Such patterns force persons into cultivating false personalities so as to suit and non lose their occupation. This behaviour can take to tenseness. workplace emphasis. under motivated staff and later lower productiveness degrees. Additionally. people will hammer what is written on paper in countries of personality merely to acquire a occupation. It is unjust to judge personality on paper as this frequently times is non a true representation of an individual’s existent ego. A questionnaire does non cover existent life state of affairss. An article posted in the Harvard Business Review ( â€Å"No Excuses Management. † July-August ’90 ) outlined some cardinal thoughts from Rodgers associating to questioning and hiring: 1. If you want occupation chances to cognize that you are serious. acquire your high-level executives involved in the interview procedure. At Cypress. all campaigners for exempt places interview with two frailty presidents. 2. Make interviews tough and technically demanding – even for people you know you want. 3. Interviews should take to elaborate appraisals of strengths and failings. non obscure feelings. We believe that if you do non happen any failings in a campaigner. you likely have non probed sufficiently. 4. Check for cultural tantrum. Most companies claim to make this. but few are really systematic. At Cypress. work attitudes and calling ends are probed through a questionnaire that requires brief but direct replies to open-ended inquiries. In shutting. based on grounds derived through research. the enlisting and choice procedure at Cypress Semiconductor is largely positive and is more straight geared towards happening the most suited campaigners for the occupation and less about favoritism. Question 6 What do you see as the advantages and disadvantages of â€Å"Killer Software† . Rodgers created â€Å"Killer Software† in the late eightiess from a blackboard to its current signifier on a web of computing machines. How it works is that. employees list all their current undertakings and ends. along with codifications that identify the day of the months that undertakings began. the original due day of the month and even a revised due day of the month merely in instance it slips behind agenda. The updated lists are loaded into a cardinal database hebdomadal and sent up to exceed direction and frailty presidents. On Wednesdays. Rodgers gets a print out of listings that include position of undertakings and the names of directors whose subsidiaries have a high figure of delinquent ends. Take for illustration ; the buying section orders some merchandises from an outside provider and the order failed to run into the deadline and no account has been given as to why the merchandise is late. This is where the â€Å"Killer Software† would step in and close down all the computing machines systems in the buying section. For the system to come back online. section forces would hold to reach the provider to acquire a new bringing day of the month and insist that it be delivered on clip. They would so describe the result to their section head fiscal officer as to what advancement has been made to repair this peculiar job and so the computing machine system would be turned back on. To foreigners. this may look as disadvantageous but Rodgers believes that the benefits gain from increased productiveness. far outweigh the cost of an occasional closure. He advocates that â€Å"Killer Software† is a critical tool for a concern so complicated as this. that any miner mistake can be ruinous if non dealt with on the topographic point. The inquiry as to whether this really works as an advantage is besides step by package. It was reported that within the first twelvemonth after the execution of â€Å"Killer Software† . Cypress’s records for on clip cargos to client. rose from 65 % to 90 % . So in drumhead. I think that Rodgers’s purpose was to pull everyone’s attending as to oppugn what happened and what they can make so it neer happens once more. It keeps everyone on their toes and prevents them from slacking off on their responsibilities. So for Cypress. the advantages decidedly outweigh the disadvantages because as more merchandises are shipped and received on agenda. the more net incomes are generated and more valued clients retained. Question 8 What recommendations do you hold for T. J. Rodgers as a director and a leader? T. J. Rodgers uses the term Laissez-Faire Capitalism a batch in his book and articles. Put merely. it is an economic system. Capitalism involves the ownership of single belongings and utilizing this belongings or capital to make goods and services to derive income and net income. The Gallic term. laissez-faire literally means â€Å"To Lashkar-e-Taiba people do as they wish† . Therefore. Individualistic Capitalism does non similar authorities intervention in their concern affairs. If nevertheless the authorities does acquire involved in concern affairs. they would prefer that it be kept to a lower limit. There is no uncertainty that Rodgers is an bossy leader who feels the demand to hold single control over all the determination devising at Cypress. He and other managers dictate all the work methods and procedures used at Cypress. He takes small or no input from lower degree employees and seems to seldom swear them with determinations or of import undertakings. His slightly opprobrious and bossy leading manner is frequently viewed as bossy. commanding and dictatorial. which in bend leads to resentment among direction and employees My recommendation to Rodgers as a director and leader would be to calculate out a manner to go more a â€Å"laissez-faire leader† and non so much an tyrant. He should let his employees to make their occupations as they wish. It is rather obvious from Cypress’s enlisting procedure that each employee has the accomplishment sets that are required to make the occupation they were hired to make. The organisation has a assortment of tools. viz. . â€Å"Killer Software† which acts as a watchdog for delinquent or deficient public presentation. which should let him to loosen the reins and allow the systems he himself developed to make what they were created to make. Not many professionals like to hold their employers vibrating over them and if they do. I wouldn’t see such employees as professionals. So in shutting. if Rodgers redirected some of his alleged â€Å"laissez-faire capitalist† outlook in his direction manner and allowed his employees to be more originative. swear them to do determinations and adhere to some of their inputs. I think he would be a much better leader. We expect more CEOs to concentrate on this in the hereafter.
