Holism: Systems Thinking
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Altering an entire methodology is both a daunting and complicated task; with the rapidly changing focus being placed upon holism - the entirety of a given situation - it is becoming a common occurrence in today's society for segmented approaches to yield to more holistic applications. The extent to which social systems need to be analyzed in such a way as to elicit viable solutions is both grand and far-reaching; that systems thinking provides the needed approach for examining a situation from its complete perspective speaks to how the traditional focus on "separating the individual pieces of what is being studied" (Aronson, 1998) no longer serves as the best option. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Home Depot 2005
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page paper discussing Home Depot's difficulties since the turn of the century. It appears that Home Depot's stock price may not have reached the lowest point it will in the near future. Certainly the company has some realigning to do, and why it did an about-face on the segment of the market it targets remains a mystery. Home Depot has allowed Lowe's to use the very methods Home Depot used to overtake Lowe's in the past. Both companies certainly need to watch other competitors in the industry, but they most especially need to watch each other. Home Depot needs to court the homeowner once again, but it certainly is not in danger of takeover any time soon. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
