Organizational Management Models
Change Management Models

There are several change management models that have been advanced as useful for most organizations in their daily operations. Though there are numerous change management models companies may choose from, there are three models which a company is likely to select as far as change is concerned. Nonetheless, a company only selects the model best meeting its needs after the strengths and weaknesses have been compared. Presented in this paper are three change management models; McKinsey 7-S model, Lewin's change management model, and Kotter's 8-step change model. The models' differences as well as similarities are compared; but, only one of model can be considered as a best fit for a company needing a large amount of change.

The first model; the McKinsey 7-S model is a holistic approach to company organization, which collectively determines how the company will operate. This model has seven different factors; shared values,…...

4. Organizational Behavior -- In this class, I learned the basics of planning within the business world. As far as organizational management is concerned, I feel that I have a good, solid methodology of planning for business practice. This will help me be prepared, no matter how bad the market is. Planning is crucial in any field, and in this economy, for a manager, it has become even more important. If one is able to plan, one can work through almost any period of difficulty, or period of success (Master's College, 2011). Therefore, planning skills are crucial to my success as a manager, and the success of my company. I feel that by being able to implement excellent planning skills, I will have nothing to fear.

The most observable aspects of organizational communications would be apparent from the way that employees typically use various communications media and technology.
Business Ethics

In contemporary American business culture, business ethics refers to the same types of concepts as the more general organizational culture except that business ethics concepts are limited to those relating to moral ideas and values (obbins & Judge, 2009). Certain aspects of business ethics pertain to matters required by statutory law and regulation while others are strictly matters of the moral values and commitment of the organization.

The narrowest systems of business ethics are strictly limited to the formal requirements of law; meanwhile, some organizations maintain much broader systems of business ethics that limit organizational behavior far more than the formal requirements of law (George & Jones, 2008). The most observable aspects of business ethics would be the manner in which organizations conduct ethical training and the extent…...

" In practice, knowledge management involves sharing such assets between employees, departments and even with other companies.
It is important to note that knowledge management is not synonymous with technology. hile the idea of knowledge management has become deeply integrated with technological advances, it can exist outside of the computer era. Note Santosus and Surmacz, "while (knowledge management) is often facilitated by it, technology by itself is not (knowledge management).

Knowledge management can bring about substantial benefits to the company, underlining the importance of effective managerial organization of the process. These benefits can include a direct contribution to bottom-line savings for the company. In addition, knowledge management can provide benefits to areas as diverse as employee morale, and effective company communication.

In effectively incorporating knowledge management into organizational practices, the organizing functions of management must be able to clearly defined intellectual or knowledge-based assets. As Santosus and Surmacz succinctly note, "Not all information…...

This is because many of the technological resources of the Army are at once more expendable and more expensive than the human resources. There are a variety of new technologies available that could change the way battles are fought, particularly in cities and other situations with many obstructions and secured hiding places, for example (DECOM 2010). But although these technologies are available, they are not infinitely available nor cheaply produced, and the Army must make a determination of where the greatest need for these technologies exists (DECOM 2010). The limitation of human resources leads to a direct limitation of the operations the Army can carry out, and while this is partially true of technology it is more true that technology can improve the efficiency of operations, rather than rendering them possible in the first place.
Given this fact, the Army necessarily views and organizes its technological resources much differently than…...

British Airways takes care of the retirement of their employees by developing numerous retirement and financial plans. The airline company also stimulates their staff by offering them specialized training which also adds more value to the organization. Then, the employees are offered specialized assistance in resolving their personal problems and also consultancy and legal aid with problems such as divorce or adoption (British Airways 2007 Annual eport). And a final and most important procedure is that of integrating the employees into the British Airways corporate culture and aligning their individual goals with the overall goal of the organization.
The strategies implemented to better organize and increase the efficiency of the human resource have managed to retrieve the desired outcome. And proof of this stand the reduced number of employees, in the international context of increased profits, flights and satisfied customers.

Southwest's initiative to refurbish their cabins is being called "Evolve: The New Southwest Interior." For the average customer, the differences probably won't be so obvious which is why Southwest is calling this an evolution rather than a revolution. The tones of brown and blue will be familiar, but with a closer eye, one will be able to see the changes. The changes will include:

Modern Cabin Design: The new design incorporates natural, earthy tones combined with Southwest's iconic Canyon blue and clean, aluminum accents for a more modern, fresh appeal. The redesign is inspired by Southwest's past with a nod to the future.

Small and medium size companies are often perceived as the heart of the local economies, as they create employment opportunities and deliver the products and services which are necessary for the community. Still, in this age of dynamic business activities, the small size companies face countless challenges in their path to success. For Advertise Master Inc. The challenges are represented by the need to attract more customers, the financial constraints of the firm and the need for sustained operations. But in this setting, the employees argue that the company is implementing an inadequate HM policy, which could lead to generalized problems for the company.

The current project as such assesses the need for change at Advertise Master and uses the 8 step approach of Harvard professor John Kotter to design and implement the necessary change. Before this however, it is necessary to introduce the firm…...

For instance, if companies are only measuring using statistics of economic gain, they are leaving out important information about the type of leadership that the organization has, perhaps even some steps for improvement. Knowing what standards should be measured in the benchmarking process, then, is crucial for managers, who must often take up conversations with superiors about whether or not the testing that is being done is relvant. Furthermore, it is also necessary for managers to be careful when interpreting the data for the benchmarking process. Being sure that statistics have been done properly, and remember that correlated variables do not necessarily mean a connection between these variables is crucial. Despite its drawbacks, however, benchmarking is crucial to the future of organizations, but it should be done in a way that encourages managers and reports data scientifically.

It might be acknowledged that politics are good at times, but for the company, it is more important to create a sound system of management that would be more in touch with the needs and requirements of employees. The short-term goal would therefore be to determine these needs and goals by means of a number of interviews. Employees will be encouraged to voice their concerns and needs, as well as to provide input for the improvement of the company as a whole. In both the short- and long-term, the most important factor to install would be a sound basis of communication among employers, employees, and everybody in the company. Only by communicating effectively within its internal environment can the company begin to prioritize and reach its goals effectively.

Organization Management
The Walt Disney

The Walt Disney Company

The Walt Disney Company

An organization is any social entity that has a well-designed structure to coordinate its functions, and the organization has to have a specific goal. Most organizations hardly work internally alone, but rather involve the external environments. Some organizations are profit oriented, like the business organizations, while others are non-profit making (Daft et al. 2010). In this context, a contemporary focus is overlooked towards the Walt Disney Company, a profound firm dealing with mass media and affiliated industrial operations.

Brief Company Profile

Walt Disney Company was founded in 1923, and has always kept the reputation in providing quality and extremely creative products, which consumers have loved ever since. The organization specializes in providing quality entertainment, services of media communication, broadcasting, television programs and live performances. The company, which is located in California (United States), exemplifies exponential characteristics that the right management and organization controls.…...

The authors contend in this phase that once the constraint has been identified, it needs to also be isolated so that controllable and uncontrollable areas can be defined. The control mechanism, often called a buffer, shields the constraint from extraneous effects and other variables so that strategies can be defined for minimize constraint variation first, and eventually externalizing the constraint (Lepore, & Cohen, 1999). Buffers often are managed to a series of metrics or key performance indicators to assure that any external factors or forces are not significantly influencing it over time. The greater the variability in a constraint the greater the need for a buffer to be agile and capable of shielding the constraint from the effects of extraneous factors so approaches can be found to minimize it (Lepore, & Cohen, 1999). This is an essential step for eventually minimizing constraint variation and externalizing it.

Management of Organizations

Organizational management is one of the most crucial components for organizational success and productivity. This is primarily because the process entails handling various aspects that are geared towards achieving the organization's overall objectives. Some of the most important issues in organizational management include effective decision making and conflict resolution. These important aspects are usually handled by the organization's top management, which play a vital role in ensuring organizational success. For managers, the process also entails formulating corporate strategy and creating a suitable organizational culture that helps in realization of the overall goals and objectives.
