The area of management philosophy regarding construction of thought and understanding that assists with the adaption of knowledge in society is known as constructivism (Leonard, 2002). . Constructivism is a theory of knowledge that derives from philosophy and psychology. Many philosophers and educators have embraced the learning theory of constructivism. Jean Piaget was one of the initial philosophers who provided clarity and a precise breakdown of what constructivism entails. Jean Piaget is known to be the first to compose a logical study of cognitive development. Jean Piaget contributions include the theory of cognitive child development, a detailed observational analysis of cognition in a child and a progression of basic effective tests to show different cognitive abilities (Leonard, 2002).
Constructivism is a philosophy by Jean Piaget where the ideas and level of cognition from children undergo analysis in an attempt to provide a way of higher learning (Mvududu & Thiel-Burgess, 2012). Piaget?s philosophy on constructivism holds much controversy because there isn?t one way to define what constructivism is and his primary belief stems from a concept that focuses on discovery (Mvududu & Thiel-Burgess, 2012). Piaget influences several individuals, such as ?Charles Darwin (1809-1882)? (Wozniak, 2009, p. 93), in psychology. The developments of Piaget?s philosophies continue to evolve. According to Wozniak (2009), Piaget?s philosophy of constructivism encourages discovery and evolution. There is also a close relation between how a child processes information in the attempt to reproduce the information or action. As an example when a child watches a parent, the parent makes a motion to open a jar, and the child attempts to reproduce that behavior (Wozniak, 2009). The child is attempting to reproduce the action by way of watching the parent, and in this way begins the formulation of development toward an understanding of the requirements for that specific task and learning an action (Wozniak, 2009; Ruth-Sahd, 2011).

According to Leonard (2002), Jean Piaget developed two principles that guide intellectual growth and biological development which assist individuals with adapting to physical and mental stimuli.
Jean Piaget?s first stage, sensorimotor, begins at birth and lasts until 18 months-2 years of age and entails the use of motor activity without the use of symbols (Leonard, 2002). The knowledge is limited in this stage because it is based on physical interactions and experiences. Jean Piaget?s second stage, preoperational, usually occurs during the period between a toddler (18-24months) and early childhood (3 -7 years) during which children begin to use language with their memory and imagination developing (Leonard, 2002). Jean Piaget?s third stage, concrete operational, typically develops between the ages of 7-11 years during which intellectual development in this stage is demonstrated through the use of logical and systematic manipulation of symbols, which are related to concrete objects (Leonard, 2002). The thought process in this stage becomes less self-centered with increased awareness of external events, and involves concrete references. Jean Piaget?s fourth stage, derives from the period of adolescence through adulthood is known as the formal operational stage during which adolescents, adults use symbols related to abstract concepts; adolescents think about multiple variables in methodological ways, formulate hypotheses, and think about abstract relationships combined with concepts (Leonard, 2002). Piaget?s understandings of the thought processes in children are still in use (Wavering, 2011). His constructivist philosophy uses an understanding of how logic and understanding arises as well as how the evolution on thought and logic persist (Wavering, 2011). In Piaget?s understanding, children use a rationale with many subjects they encounter, such as mathematics, where an element is necessary to examine to formulate an answer and understanding (Wavering, 2011).
An important implication of Piaget's theory is adaptation of instruction to the learner's developmental level. The two articles that were chosen to provide a comparison between constructivism supported by Jean Piaget are parallel in the theory of learning. In the first article, Consciousness, social heredity, and development: The evolutionary thought of James Mark Baldwin, the author focused on the theory of Baldwin also known as the Baldwin effect which examines the evolutionary of thinking Wozniak?s (2009). The intellectual background of James Baldwin?s thinking development regarding the emergence of intellectual conception involves individual learning adaption and social heredity concept if adaptions are acquired within the life of an individual, a direct influence on progression by natural selection will happen Wozniak?s (2009). The Baldwin effect focuses on systems of actions and meanings regarding beliefs, standards, and habits of a new generation inherited from those individuals prior which are gradually accepted (Wozniak?s (2009). The emergence of intellectual conception depends upon the association between reason, reality, and the growth of logic Wozniak?s (2009) .
Baldwin and Piaget both were motivated by the theory of evolution. Mark Baldwin believed the that one?s cognitive and senses grow through he imitation of others through observation while Jean Piaget incorporated four stages of growth. Both the cognitive development theory by jean Piaget and evolutionary theory by Mark Baldwin have a point of reference regarding the influence of perceptive concepts which affects one?s reaction and performance of learning throughout one?s life span.
The second article involved an experimental learning theme promoted in Ruth-Sahd?s (2011) article. The article entailed a social collectivism based on the concepts of observations and personal experiences from a nursing clinical setting. This new approach to learning outside of the traditional classroom is synchronized with the foundational management philosophy of constructivism advocated by Piaget. After several years of working with patients, novice nurses will use their theoretical skills to develop more advanced knowledge but nothing prepares them better at the earliest stage of cognitive and social enrichment than early exposure and collaboration.
Piaget?s foundational management philosophy of constructivism argued that knowledge formation is a process that follows some progressive stages in relation to time, experiences, and observations (Powell & Kalina, 2009). The experimental and cooperative learning philosophy identified in Ruth-Sahd?s (2011) article differs from Piaget?s constructivist view of cognitive and social development in the sense that a nursing student does not need to master the nursing theoretical concepts before moving to practical experimentations in the clinical setting. According to Ruth-Sahd?s (2011), ?cooperative learning in the clinical setting with the same level student in an entry level baccalaureate nursing course? enhances long-tern learning (p. 2446). The objective of the collaborative learning philosophy is to promote diversity in the way students share both explicit and implicit knowledge in the workplace. Constructivists argued that learners cannot establish higher level relationship with ?what they see unless they bring certain level of knowledge to it? (Kamii &Ewing, 1996, p. 261). In contrast, the article noted that ?cooperative learning methodology results in greater retention of material and increased transfer of learning? (Ruth-Sahd, 2011, p. 2445). The experimental cooperative learning philosophy supports Piaget?s constructivist views that learning is based on the personal experiences and observations of activities in daily life.
Piaget?s definition of constructivism develops the natural thought and logical processes that children may perceive. In the evolution of comprehension and logic, cognition becomes an important factor that eventually becomes even further extensive than Piaget?s initial perceptions. Piaget?s constructivism advances into other philosophical theories as the ideas are innovative and his concepts can change with the times.





















Narrative
The experimental learning theme promoted in Ruth-Sahd?s (2011) article was about social collectivism based on the concepts of observations and personal experiences from a nursing clinical setting. This new approach to learning outside the traditional classroom matches with the foundational management philosophy of constructivism advocated by Piaget. After several years of working with patients, novice nurses will use their theoretical skills to develop more advanced knowledge, but nothing prepares them better at the earliest stage of cognitive and social enrichment than early exposure and collaboration.
Dimensions of learning that individuals incorporate into concepts derives from thought and understanding. The two articles in the Journal Article Analysis chosen pertained to conceptions of learning and evolving theories of learning which led to the foundational management philosophy of constructivism and other facets of constructivism. Constructivism is an indefinite concept but is the best method for teaching and comprehension (Powell & Kalina, 2009).
Each reference was assessed for quality and credibility as evidence of considering the origins of the research, primary as opposed to secondary research and scholarly as opposed to popular sources. The article passed the quality and credibility test based on the fact that it was the original work of the author and came from the Journal of Advanced Nursing which remains a reputable and reliable academic source. The literature is judged valid because the author followed strict scientific research methodology the findings are supported by other studies. Each of these articles are also useful to this topic as the content contains information specific to constructivism, Piaget?s ideas behind personal constructivism, how it is useful to understanding the comprehension patterns of children, and the behaviors patterns when the children attempt to reproduce logical instances.

Introduction
Management?s principal characteristic is the directing and leading towards the achievement of predetermined objectives. An organization runs and works based on defined specific objectives, and the role of management to direct efforts and resources towards the achievement of these objectives. Over the decades, different management approaches and strategies formulation entail in an attempt to find the most suitable approach that can effectively and sustainably direct towards achievement of organizational strategies. This report makes a summary of management philosophies and approaches proposed by different scholars. The work identifies the different opinions on management and the theories proposed on management thought.
Of interest is the article by Kralev (2011) that identifies the importance of the Management by Objectives approach. The scholar proposes this management thought for it defines and uses organizational objectives in directing processes and functions in an organization. Kralev (2011) identifies that in today?s business world a manager should lead by emphasizing on organizational objectives, which are directed towards the broad environment, achieving profits, and define paths of operations. Kralev (2011) that the core concept of MBO requires the management processes of planning, organizing, leading, staffing, and controlling, be directed to the achievement of key organizational objectives.
Drucker (1955) derives management by objectives, which is described by Kralev (2011), from MBO theory. Drucker (1955) conceptualized management by objectives as a system of management that is founded on goal congruence for the improvement of performance. The Drucker (1955) believes that the organization is more successful if, ?...their efforts ... all pull in the same direction, and their contributions ... fit together to produce a whole, without gaps, without friction, without unnecessary duplication of effort...? (Dinesh & Palmer, 1998). Therefore, Kralev?s (2011) management approach derives its basic principle from the management by objective theory as stipulated by Drucker (1955). In this management philosophy, the manager is required to focus on goal alignment as a means to improve organizational performance by providing the goal and path towards increased profitability.
The focus on organizational objectives is a key theme in Yingyan Wang?s (2011) article that identifies management philosophy and organizations driven by missions. Wang (2011) proposes that mission driven organizations in Japan are founded on management philosophy. However, his management philosophy is based on the pursuit of a mission, emphasizes on ethics, harmony, trust, honesty, environmental protection and social responsibility. These are all geared towards creating an organizational mission and philosophy that affect management and individual adoption of vision. This is a means to increase job involvement and organizational citizenship behavior. Therefore, the role of management is the creation of an ethical philosophy and a mission-driven culture.
Based on a research analysis, Wang (2011) finds that management that has a well-articulated and enacted philosophy can facilitate transformation of commitment towards productive efforts. This is because this philosophy offers direction to individuals, puts in place constraints on behavior, and emphasizes on individual motivation by creating a clear picture of organizational values, norms, and goals. Wang?s (2011) mission-driven management approach borrows heavily from the management by objectives theory. Wang (2011) sought to prove that mission-driven management leads to organizational practice or culture that influences outcomes of individuals towards success.
The third article by He (2011) proposes that traditional strategy plans cannot apply in today?s business environment, which requires flexible and rapid responses to changes. He?s (2011) article uses information from a case study of NTT DoCoMo and Silicon organizations in China following the Confucian principles. The article proposes a management approach that continually changes and adapts to changing situations. He (2011) approach is based on the Chinese traditional philosophy of constructivism perspective. In this perspective, the management must change strategy to cope with uncertainties and complexities. In addition, the management model proposed by He (2011) follows the philosophy that management must design strategic alignment, where individual behavior and organizational strategy are in alignment.
This Chinese management philosophy entails an alignment that leads to harmony in the organization. This alignment entails a fit between people, people and work, business strategy and environment (He, 2011). This management philosophy leads management to create an environment in the organization where the people?s thinking is attuned to achievement of individual and organizational strategies for success. This is because the Confucian philosophy affects the thinking of individuals, as it strives to change behavior. Therefore, following this management philosophy implies that management creates strategies that tune the thinking of employees, with the goal of aligning their behavior to organizational objectives.
The fourth article by Claus Dierksmeier (2011) discusses the relationship between management philosophy and business ethics. The author believes that ethical responsibility among managers must be part of the overall management philosophy in an organization. the manager must have responsible freedom to lead to corporate social responsibility. The author believes management approaches must be based on moral action in economic theories like quantitative reductionism and epistemological materialism. This is to create moral freedom and responsibility among managers and consequently the organization. The article puts an emphasis on managerial direction and responsibility in corporate decision-making. Dierksmeier (2011) management philosophy is based on the philosophies of Adam Smith (1723-1790) on moral philosophy, Theory of Moral Sentiments, and The wealth of Nations. In these theories, a manager?s pursuit of gain can lead to social benefits if, legal structures against exploitation and fraudulent are lay down. This is though the existence of political governance, which regulates individual morality, social morals, and customs. In this manner, management must entail intellectual and practical realization of individual and social responsibility in managerial freedom, to achieve corporate social responsibility. This is though the homo economicus and conditio humana models of economics that will lead to the realization that responsible freedom is part of management.
The four articles are similar in that they all discuss management philosophy approaches. The main difference between the four articles is their approach to management philosophy and their method of research to prove their theory. Wang (2011) uses a quantitative survey approach to prove the influence of management philosophy in Japanese companies, while Dierksmeier (2011) opts for the phenomenological research method to investigate management freedom in classical economics. Wang?s (2011) approach entails the survey of 1019 Japanese employees to assess their experiences with management. Dierksmeier?s (2011) epistemology approach makes an argument against the classical economic philosophy, which severed ethical standards from normative ethical standards. He (2011) uses the case study approach on NTT DoCoMo and Silicon organizations to test his theory, of the success of the Chinese Confucian theory on business. this investigates the degree to which the case studies have successfully integrated Confucian ethics and principles, to show they can be applied to organizations. This is different from the approach used by Kralev (2011), who opts to review literature on management by objectives on tourist-driven organizations.
The management principle promoted by the articles is the management philosophy approach. However, each article has some differential in their approach as compared to others. Wang (2011) focuses on the management philosophies of Japanese companies that emphasize on philosophy, mission statements, and objectives in mission-driven management. The article advocates that mission statements can lead companies to efficiency and productivity. This is almost similar to the management approach promoted by Kralev (2011). Kralev (2011) discusses the interaction between the management by objective approach and matching it to practical demands of business. This analysis finds this management approach similar to the mission-driven approach by Wang (2011). This is because both management approaches advocate for management strategies that focus on planning, organizing, and directing processes, practices, and individuals towards attainment of organizational objectives. At the core of both approaches are goals identified as individual or organizational objectives and mission. Wang (2011) and Kralev (2011) approaches are goal oriented. However, the difference is that Wang?s (2011) approach advocates organizational philosophy as a mediating actor between the needs of the enterprise and individuals. Kralev (2011) approach believes organizational philosophy is concerned with structured philosophy of objectives that are focused, time-defined, realistic, specific, measurable, and are long, middle, or long term.
These management philosophies are different from the management approach proposed by He (2011). He (2011) identifies the Chinese approach based on the Confucian Philosophy, which identifies that the key idea is the achievement of strategic alignment. The philosophy especially identifies the creation of alignment between individual?s behavior and organizational strategy. This is different from other management philosophies for He (2011) proposes that teamwork is essential in creating individual drive in the larger organization, which is part of Confucian values. The article identifies that this management philosophy follows Confucian values, which make the heart of management strategies for Chinese companies in the Silicon Valley. The article finds from the analysis of case studies that the alignment of management strategies with Confucian values has led to the success of organizations proving they are applicable to western organizations. There is no similarity between Kralev (2011), Wang (2011), Dierksmeier (2010) and He (2011) management philosophies. Dierksmeier (2011) believes that management education should focus on ideal moral freedom for managers, not the concept of capitalist freedom proposed by classical economists. In this management philosophy, the manager must adopt moral and ethical standards at the individual and firm level to attain sustainability.
Overall, the articles provide evidence that the success of an organization is pegged on the ability of management to create a philosophy. The responsibility of management in creating organizational philosophy lies in the fact that management has the role of planning, organizing, controlling, and directing. The articles show there is a connection between management philosophy, organizational culture and practice, and performance. The manager sets the goals, objectives, and mission of the organization, which directs and influences business processes and practices. Through personal philosophy and moral and ethical principles, the manager can influence the behavior of employees and cause corporate social responsibility.

The purpose of the Telecommunications and Technology Analysis assignment is to examine the elements that drive successful technology and telecommunications integration and planning for an organization. Management needs to prioritize and evaluate technology used by the organization in day-to-day operations to identify which processes are critical to the organization's ability to conduct operations and which processes can be put on hold during an emergency. Scrambling to deal with technology issues once a disaster has hit is guaranteed to cost an organization.

Analyze your selected organization in regard to their telecommunications and technology preparedness. In your Telecommunications and Technology Analysis paper:

Identify the primary and secondary telecommunications and technology systems and components for the organization.
Evaluate the impact if some of these systems or components were not available to an organization.
Analyze the organization's telecommunications and technology preparedness if it were affected by one of the threats identified in the Risk and Vulnerability Analysis assignment.
Analyze strategies, methodologies, and research in business continuity planning management to identify best practices regarding telecommunications and technology.
Articulate the importance of telecommunications and technology for responding to an incident or disaster.
Outline the response steps and procedures to bring critical telecommunications and technology systems online if a disaster occurred.
Recommend work-around procedures that should be developed to allow for more vitality of the organization.

The research paper is for the class of Nonprofit Organization Management.

The paper focuses on the investigation of a nonprofit organization management issue in depth, particularly on the problem of Human resource.

I pick human resource because I think it is a very critical issue amongst the nonprofit organizations because many nonprofit organizations offer below average to low salaries. Comparable jobs paying $40,000 a year in government or business may only pay $25,000 to $30,000 with a nonprofit organization. A 25% salary differential is quite common. And since nonprofit organizations gets their funding through donations, grants, membership fees, etc. the organization?s revenue is not very stable. Fluctuating from year to year, such unpredictable revenue streams can create anxiety amongst employees, generate job insecurity and affect motivation. Many nonprofit organizations operate as if they were in a permanent downsizing mode. Therefore, many bright, talented people may not attract to the work of nonprofit organizations and I think it?s one of the major problems amongst nonprofit organizations today.

The paper will be focusing on the area of human resource as a management issue in the nonprofit organizations. The paper also requires to list 4 ? 5 nonprofit organizations that has the SAME problem in their management. Talk about each of them briefly and describe how the human resources issue has impacted them.

The organizations you listed must be from the SAME category, for instance, they must be all in the area of Education, Economic Development, Health, Social Service, Political Parties, Professional Organization, or Religion. (For example, Oakland Asian Students Educational Services is a nonprofit organization under the category of Education; NFL is under the category of Professional Services)

Last but no least, please give your own thoughts and opinions in the paper about this issue and what do you suggest for the improvements on the matter.

Please cite all sources.

If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to email me.

**Please use the Armed Forces/US Military as the public sector organization*


Managing Recruitment, Performance, and Development
How has your public sector organization managed the following activities, which are key to Human Resources Management?:

Using the same public sector organization that you have used throughout the course, analyze human resource strategies with respect to recruitment and selection, performance, compensation, and development. Your analysis should use each of the strategy areas listed (recruitment and selection, performance, compensation, and development) as a section of the paper. Your paper should be 7-10 pages
Customer is requesting that (MaryamKazi) completes this order.

The paper should be an application of the leadership practice concepts learned across Organizational Management to a real-world situation. Discuss one significant organizational challenge, either past or present, within your organization, or an organization you have researched. How did the leadership of the organization address the challenge? Could it have been done more effectively? How would you recommend future leaders strategically plan to avoid encountering a similar challenge within their own organizations? Provide suggestions for overcoming the challenge based on your own research and concepts presented in your degree studies and founded in leadership theory? Some challenges to consider would be (but are not limited to): an ethical challenge, a challenge occurring because of changes in the economy, a globalization challenge, or a challenge of organizational culture.

Paper should also include:
1. A description of the organization and its primary stakeholders; include the vision and mission statement if they are available to the public and the code of ethics if the company has one (if it is long, an excerpt or description is an acceptable alternative).

Performance Improvement Analysis

Effective managerial coaching is integral to ongoing employee development. Whereas training is typically focused on acquiring and/or strengthening specific skills within a short time-frame either on-the-job or in a classroom setting, development is embedded in the relationship between the manager or team leader and his/her staff or team members, and involves an iterative process through coaching and feedback over time.

The central key to effective coaching is that of assessing the performance situation in order to determine the most appropriate and effective approach to the performance deficiency (or deficiencies). In this Module 2 case, please return to the background readings to review the article entitled "When Employees at Work Don't Get It: A Model for Enhancing Individual Employee Change in Response to Performance Feedback" by Silverman, Pogson, and Cober (2005). Although this article was published in 2005, it remains highly relevant today. Moreover, the article is derived from the The Academy of Management Executive, one of the most highly regarded organizational management journals available.

Conduct a Coaching and Performance Improvement Analysis

1) Please read the journal article above very carefully, and then respond according to the following:

Step 1. Introduction (1 page) - briefly describe the following:
?Person who will be the focus of your analysis (without specifically identifying who they are; the person can be a teammate, staff member, or even your manager or boss, but must be someone who you work with and/or observe in their work on a regular basis);
?Nature of your work relationship and experience with that person, and
?General nature of the performance problem that you believe needs to be assessed.

Step 2. Now, using the "Individual and Organizational Precursors Scale" (IOPS) shown in Table 1 (p. 140), rate the individual according to each of the five Individual Precursor items (e.g., Awareness, Sense of Necessity, etc). Critically discuss and assess the person's willingness and ability to change using each one of the five (5) Individual Precursors. Be sure to include the score you have assigned each item beside your discussion of that item (1 page)

Step 3. Next, compute a total score, and assign the individual to one of the three categories (i.e., Unaware, Developers, or Enlightened). Discuss how you believe the person's performance has been consistent with the characteristics of this category. Explain. (one-half page)

Step 4. Now, using the IOPS shown as Table 2 (p. 142), please assign a score to each of the five Organizational Precursor items (e.g., Organizational Alignment, Organizational Feedback Environment, etc). Critically discuss and assess how each one of the five factors are consistent with the organization's characteristics. Be sure to include the score you have assigned each item beside your discussion of that item. (1 page)

Step 5. Compute a total score, and assign the organization to one of the three categories (i.e., Static, Developing, or Learning-Oriented). Please comment briefly as to how the organization fits the characteristics of this category. (one-half page)

Step 6. Finally, create a performance improvement action plan in which you identify the most salient areas that should be addressed, and identify specific actions you would take, or recommend be taken in order to address them (1-2 pages). Please discuss the following:
?Whether any training-related actions are required, and if so what
?Any non-training and development related actions, and if so what
?Any employee development-related actions that may be required, and if so what
?Whether you believe that actions taken (based on the assigned IOPS individual category) will be successful relative to remediating the performance deficiencies identified
?The extent to which the organization (based on the assigned IOPS organizational category) will support or hinder a performance action plan
?The collective effect of individual and organizational precursors - i.e., how will these come together to assist in success of the plan (or not)? Be sure to review the section "Interaction Between Individual and Organizational Precursors" on page 143.

Bring in at least 3 library sources to help strengthen and support your discussion.



Assignment Expectations:

Describe the following 4 types of costs:
? Fixed
? Variable
? Semivariable
? Semifixed
Part II
Dynamic Medical Suppliers, Inc. has sales of $300,000 for the calendar year of 2010. Its total variable costs equal $107,700.
Calculate the contribution margin ratio, and determine whether it presents profit or loss to the organization.
Total % of Revenue
Sales (Revenue) $300,000.00 100%

Less variable costs 36%
Costs of medical supplies sold $65,825.00

Delivery fees $15,000.00
Total variable costs $107,700.00
Contribution margin X X
Less fixed costs $115,000.00
Operating income $77,300.00
Part III
Determine the number of full-time employees needed to cover multiple shifts based on information provided within the following scenario:
Health care is a critical field, and some agencies require that staff members be present at all times to ensure that there is adequate staff to care for the patients. For example, a medical center that has both inpatient and outpatient units will require staff be present after normal business hours to provide care to those admitted to the inpatient unit. It is also important to ensure that there is sufficient staff to provide care to the number of patients being treated. This is imperative to managers when it comes to determining costs associated with salary and benefits. If an organization is overscheduling staff, it could have a severe impact on the revenue because the staff-to-patient ratio would not be appropriate.
You create the schedule for the nursing staff in the pediatric intensive-care unit. Your daily staffing uses 6 registered nurses (RNs) working 8 hours and 2 licensed practical nurses (LPNs) working 3 hours. Determine the number of work hours required for 1 day.
Part IV
