Kotter & Schlesinger Four Reasons for Resistance to Change

Kotter & Schlesinger's four reasons for resistance to change highlights the reasons why people within an organisation are likely to resist proposed change.

Carroll's CSR Pyramid
มุมมอง 7K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Carroll’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Pyramid maps out the levels of responsibility that a firm has to differing stakeholders, and how these can be demonstrated. A fundamental basis is the need for profit (the economic responsibility tier) which ultimately leads to corporate philanthropy at the peak of the model. Archie B. Carroll worked at the University of Georgia, in the College of...

Blake Mouton Managerial Grid
มุมมอง 1.5K6 ปีที่แล้ว
The Blake Mouton Managerial Grid showcases the varying positions a leader may adopt in respect to the focus they have on people and task/process. It varies from Tannenbaum-Schmidt, as this focuses on the power in decision making - but the two can be linked as can Blake Mouton to Douglas McGregor’s XY theories, Fred Herzberg, Abraham Maslow, and even Fred Taylor. Other motivational gurus apply t...
Bartlett & Ghoshal's Model of International Growth
มุมมอง 13K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Bartlett & Ghosal's Model of International Growth maps out the approaches businesses can adopt as they seek to go international. The two determining factors are the level of responsiveness to the needs of new markets and degree of international integration of operations. Chris Bartlett & Sumantra Ghosal published their theory in 1989, later updating it from three to four strategies with the inc...
Kaplan & Norton's Balanced Scorecard
มุมมอง 2.3K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Kaplan & Norton’s Balanced Scorecard is a method of judging organisational success beyond the all too common (on The Apprentice at least) financial yard stick. A profitable business which is morally bankrupt may well present a very unbalanced performance with this measure. Robert Kaplan & David Norton published their theory in 1992 - it sits in the same field of thought as Elkington’s Triple Bo...
Ansoff's Matrix
มุมมอง 3.6K6 ปีที่แล้ว

Igor Ansoff (1918-2002) was the father of modern strategic thinking according to The Economist, and saviour of many a business essay too. In this video I will give you a quick tour and explanation of the theory, although this very short video ...

    • @talesfromtheboard9620
      @talesfromtheboard9620 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you take Business and Economics at the moment, there is no reason that any 'Business' field would be unavailable. With respect to taking Comp Science at Uni, you should look at the Unis published course information which will outline what they require (such as Maths) to take the course as either a mandatory or suggested GCSE. Don't forget that there are a large number of very different courses in each of these areas, and as such the qualifications that lead into them will differ. If you are in the UK start exploring course info therough UCAS.

      You are always best to check with each institution that you would like to apply to. This was research that was undertaken after the specifications changed last time (so current A level courses), so it is unlikely that universities will have significantly changed their position if at all.

    • @talesfromtheboard9620

      Check how much of a pedant your teacher is. Is it 'involve' or be 'tenuously connected to'. If it is the former it could be something such as a sneezing fit. If it is the latter he will link it to medicine, absenteeism through illness etc. If it is 'tenuously connected to', ask him in return to name you something not connected to Science - offer him £200 and the fact that you will start to hand in some work... Pretty much everything is made of atoms for instance. Good luck.

  • @elliswoods9194
    @elliswoods9194 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    i 100% advise someone to take business and economics at a level, overlaps quite a bit but i see no issues at all with it, business is a very wide range and covers a lot more but economics is much more in depth about a select amount of certain areas, if you have to chose one i'd take economics as its the highest paid degree apart from dentistry so looks great if u wanna go further with it and it's also more interesting imo, but business compliments it well because it gives you a better understanding on how businesses are actually run (as a lot of economics is just theory) so honestly taking both has been one of the best decisions i've ever made. PS: some top universities such as LSE will want maths if you're going to take an economics degree there so maybe that's not too bad to look into if you're good at it but i took chemistry instead and most unis will take it without maths (i'm going to Manchester to study international business, finance and economics) Gl everyone!
