4. The congruence model
According to the Mind Tools website, the "congruence model is based on the principle that an organization's performance is derived from four elements: tasks, people, structure, and culture. The higher the congruence, or compatibility, amongst these elements, the greater the performance" (Mind Tools, 2010). The advantage of the model is that of simplifying the issues promoted by the previous models and revealing an analysis structure constructed onto four elements alone. This implies lower task complexities and leads to more efficiently retrieved results. However, it could also lead to sometimes irrelevant findings as it does not take into consideration elements outside the organization, such as the socio-economic climate. In other words, this model is highly applicable when conducting an internal audit, but its efficiency in developing competitive strategies -- or other organizational endeavors related to the outside environment -- is limited.
5. The doctor-patient model
This model is extremely different from the previous ones in the meaning that, while the previous four models referred to managerial assessments -- this model implies the contracting of a tertiary party. Similar to the patient, the firm would seek the assistance of a doctor, or a specialized business consultant, who would conduct the diagnosis, identify the problems and propose the solutions (The College of St. Scholastica).
The advantages of this model include:
The ability to benefit from the wide expertise of a business consultant -- or even a team of specialized business consultants
The opportunity to get an informed opinion, which is not biased by internal expectations, pressures, goals and so on The offering of a solid recommendation from the specialized team.
In terms of the disadvantages, these include:
The necessity to spend additional financial resources on the contracting of the specialists
The necessity of introducing strangers to confidential information
The risk of not having the outside consultants clearly understand the internal issues or having them suggest unfeasible solutions
6. The multi-contingency diagnosis and design model
Based on the multitude of models presented within the specialized literature, Richard M. Burton and Borge Obel (2004) have come up with a model which identifies a series of organizational elements that contribute to the company's ultimate success. Their...
Etiology of Pancreatic Cancer Pancreatic cancer has emerged as the most lethal human cancers. In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) has termed it an unresolved health problem of the 21st century. The disease presently causes about 30,000 deaths in the U.S. per year (Yarbro et al. 2015). Despite past efforts, conventional interventions like radiation, surgery, chemotherapy and combination of these had minimal success in the course of this aggressive disease.
(GAO, 2008) These criteria are stated to "inform many other elements of the positions, including roles and responsibilities, job qualifications, reporting relationships, and decision-making structure and processes." (Dejewski, 2007) Three types of COO/CMO positions were identified as follows: (1) the existing deputy position could carry out the integration and business transformation role. This type of COO/CMO might be appropriate in a relatively stable or small organization; (2) a senior-level executive who reports to
Leadership, according to La Monica (1938), is when a person has authority that is recognized by others, and the person has followers/subordinates under them, who believe that the person will assist them in attaining certain goals (carrying out specific objectives for the followers). Furthermore, anyone that is willing to assist and help others could be referred to as a leader (p.8) Leaders see what others do not Most leaders have
The children were scored in terms of whether they imitated the action that had been modeled for them as well as for the presence of any "errors" -- the introduction of actions not in the modeled behavior. The results were then subjected to multivariate statistical analysis. The researchers found, in contrast to previous similar research, that children with both conditions did not evidence any greater problems with either gross motor
