Worker and Management Relations: Scientific Management, Historical Managerial Challenges, the Hawthorne Experiments and Elements of Motivation
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing various aspects of management including scientific management theories, the Hawthorne Experiments and other areas including an example of a social structure found within a work setting. Over the course of history, work, mainly manufactured work, has been studied in terms of the various elements required needed for the production of an item and the time it would take workers to complete this task. In addition, with the introduction of certain industrial technologies over time, manufacturing and the management of manufacturing systems and teams have been altered to accommodate new trends and technologies. Management, within an historical perspective, had little to do direct contact within the employees which was generally left to the foremen. However, Frederick Winslow Taylor in the 19th century began to think in terms of “scientific management” in which production management became important to improving the overall production of any manufacturing area. While scientific management looked mainly to efficiency in production, the Hawthorne experiments in the 1920s found that work places are very much social systems and workers reacted accordingly. Lastly, employee motivation need to be established by owners and managers in order to initiate recruitment for firms and retain employees once recruited. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Worker-Caused Workplace Injuries
[ send me this essay ]
A 9 page paper discussing the effects of drugs, alcohol, and to a lesser degree, violence in the workplace as they relate to the incidence of workplace injuries and even death. Employers first began pre-employment drug screening tests because of the lost productivity attributable to the effects of drugs and alcohol on the abilities of those employees using them, but today, it has become more of a quest for safety than for productivity. Violence in the workplace is always a high-profile occurrence, but is less responsible for workplace injuries and fatalities than are the effects of drug- and alcohol-abuse. Simple irresponsibility can be deadly; the effects of drug and alcohol use can be doubly so. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Working Capital at Vodafone
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing the available working capital at Britain's Vodafone. This resource has declined over the past two years, even as Vodafone's revenues have nearly tripled. More than only revenues and expenses affect total available working capital, however. The state of stock markets, investor confidence in either the overall economy, strength of the industry or abilities of current management all affect how much capital will be available for operations. Vodafone currently suffers from all three. It may be suffering the cash effects of too-rapid expansion, but it also is likely to recover its losses and decline. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Working in a Real Estate Investment Firm
[ send me this essay ]
A 35 page paper in two parts. The first section discusses internal operation of the investment firm in terms of management principles, including the value of workplace diversity, creativity and innovation. The second part addresses the specific conditions of rental property management in New York City. Conditions in the housing market in the city are such that there is an extreme shortage of affordable apartments in safe areas. Rent stabilization laws prevent landlords from charging rents that allow them more than minimal return on their investment yet allow a substantial increase when an apartment is turned over to a new tenant, with the result that responsible landlords with long-standing tenants are penalized while others are able to extract rents above market value in problem areas. Revision of current laws and attitudes is unlikely; the paper concludes that corporate creativity provides a means of effecting change within the law. Bibliography lists 20 sources.
