C. The seventh worst city for commuters, with the single features that did not ensure a higher position within the hierarchy being the city's high levels of efficiency relative to carpooling, walking areas and public transportation, which in fact stand for the second best system within the United States (Woolsey, 2008)
According to Carter et al. (2007) "Brainstorming -- letting your mind free-associate to come up with different ideas or answers -- is also referred to as divergent thinking (Carter et al
Another important issue is critical thinking. Critical thinking involves really investigating a problem to discover the most efficient solution (Elder & Paul, 2003) According to an article entitled problem solving, one of the ways to solve a problem is to identify what the problems is ("Problem Solving")
Is should be ensured that you are treating the problem rather than treating the symptom of the problem. For example not getting the good marks is the symptom while the problem could be the lack of concentration towards the studies (Jozwiak, 2004)
It should be considered as an examination which has been imposed on you from your almighty God. If you will plan properly and execute those plans accordingly than there are hundred percent chances that you are going to cope with the situation (Kolb & Stuart, 2005)
Some scholars have suggested a particular model for solving the problems. The model comprises of five steps which are identification of the problem, development of alternatives related to the problem, advantages and disadvantages peculiar to each alternative developed previously, developing the solution for the problems keeping in view of the alternatives developed and lastly monitoring the applied solution in order to know whether the applied solution is productive enough to deal with the situation (Sternberg, 1998, p
It can be said that the economy can dictate the organization's consistently assessment of external or internal environment along with the making of relevant changes for remaining competitive. The Director Engineering can agree on the business strategy through the evaluation of the capabilities of the considered organization to compete through particular strategies (Austin Cline, 2005; Bertagni & La, 2010; Guerra-Lopez, 2012; Idowu & Filho, 2009; Best & Holmes, 2010; Riley, et al
, 2001). Beside all, the thing that observed throughout the process that could be improved more is the training of employees since the Engineering Director needs to use technology in the training of employees since the use of technology in training would become the employees more skilled and the employees will become able to perform more efficiently and proficiently (Bertagni & La, 2010; Chen & Huang, 2009; Farndale, et al
The systems from the perspective of the entire system with its different sub-systems along with the recurring patterns in the relationships between the subsystems. One of the major tools of systems analysis is known to be a systems thinking, which is a way of helping a person to consider systems from broad perspective including observation of overall structures and patterns (Best & Holmes, 2010; Riley, et al
, 2012). It does not reduce the inhibitions in other team members or employees because it can enable the management to consider alternative ideas within efficient environment within an organization (Boje, et al
The change management and resolution theory is conceptualizing change in terms of a process of problem solving and transition. In the aspects of theory, change management guides organizations into effective use of tools and principles of change to implement changes within the organization while promoting problem solving and conflict resolution techniques (Brucker, et al
The solving process involves the way of approaching the issues along with the rationality in management actions that are important in functionality of a business system. The process of problem solving implies the phases including implementation of solution along with the monitoring of results (Chan, et al
For instance, pay rates and shifts rotations were insufficient as compared to other organizations. The reason due to which the organization was being unionized over the years involves the most appropriate sick pay scheme (Chen & Huang, 2009; Holbeche, 2001; Chan, et al
b. Corporate Responsibility and Ethics According to Crane (2008), corporate responsibility and ethics can be defined as the responsibility of organization to progress in ways for helping in the best interest of its various stakeholders (Crane, 2008)
It is of the concern for the organization that charts and job descriptions are also the part of forming change. The model for strategic planning can be used to illustrate the consistent project involving action learning, which further involve sensitive system as it responds to the change with the passage of time (Dervitsiotis, 2006; Pantaleo & Pal, 2008; Chan, et al
By reviewing the facts that leads to the ultimate consequences, now it becomes very much comprehensive to address the major causes and originate the process and changes that could resolve the issues as well as give confidence to employees to think about their own behavior and actions from a wider point-of-view. In other words, it can be said that I attempt to develop a learning organization that could bring productive outcomes (DiBella & Nevis, 1998)
, 2012). In the light of above evaluation regarding the project of Engineering Director relating to the staff retention, recruitment, succession planning and absence management in First Glasgow it has been observed that the overall practices performed by director and steps taken by him are enough to bring the innovation in organization and will contribute to overall growth and development of organization (Fr.f.roa, 2007; Bertagni & La, 2010; Brucker, et al
¶ … Problem Solving Systems Thinking, Technology, and Organizational Change Models of Problem Solving Different Approaches to Problem Solving Brainstorming Risk Assessment Flow Charts Mind Mapping Identification of Complex Problem Analyzing the Problem Identification of a Range of Potential Solutions Constraints Evaluation of Potential Solutions Phase IV Evaluating Progress Implementation Process Risk Assessment Accelerating Change Formative and Summative Evaluation Values and Ethical Issues Values Corporate Responsibility and Ethics Thinking and Decision Making Strategies Problem Solving Process Complex Problem Solving This section of the paper is focusing on the introduction of complex problem solving, which reflects the affiliation between the meanings of classical problem-solving and complex problem-solving. Complex problem solving tasks are situations involving dynamic environments because untimely actions decide the environment for subsequent decisions that are required to be made with the features of the task environment and it can be changed independently of the action of solvers (Funke, 2010; Chan, et al
Leading a change in the considered organization requires a shift in thinking for different executives such as Director Engineering. It further requires significant commitment of time and the leaders spend sufficient time in working on issues related to change (Gatewood, et al
The social reality focuses on feelings, ethics, and values of people, which assess the organizations specifically First Glasgow, possess a strong culture throughout the hierarchy of employment within the organization. The mythic reality leads an organization through the ways of change and the global aspect of a leader in turn accelerating or hindering change within the organization under consideration (Gerth, et al
