Introduction
With
the mergers and takeovers abundant in corporate news, there are also those that have not yet happened but are largely speculated upon. One such merger is the one between Apple, a high-tech company that sprung from manufacturing of computers, and Nintendo, a Japanese video games maker. The combined company could easily attain a market capitalization of over 0 billion, presenting a formidable threat to Sony and Microsoft, its main rivals. Critics point out that Apple Computers could take a hit with the large competition in the PC market and a possible rise in virus output for Mackintosh, which would be bad for Nintendo. However, after the merger, the talented staff at Nintendo could get hold of Apple’ sizeable financial resources to implement their ideas. This paper will map out an appropriate change process for this situation, prepare contingency strategies, and analyze the role of HR in the process.

The Change Process Model
While there are a variety of change process models, to analyze the proposed change, we will base our proposal on the stepped model found in Randall (2004) and the merger plan developed by Adolph & Hoynes (2002): Continue reading “HR and Change Management Essay”

Introduction
One
of the conditions of the viability of a man is his health. People always understood this fact, and that is why congratulating somebody we constantly wish good health to a person. Everything the rest we can reach by ourselves. But to be healthy means to understand all the inner processes of the organism and their harmony. Numerous scientific methods, medical experiments, and achievements are particularly effective in such case.

The concept of health and illness. Medical achievements
Under the word “disease” or “illness,” the doctors mean a detour from the norm. So it is understandable: if a man has a lack of insulin, so he has diabetes; too much cholesterin (or cholesterol)– heart attack is possible. But what is a norm for a concrete person? All people are different in age, sex, weight, stature, constitution. Are not these differences normal? Some people have the heart on the right side. Is it a terrible disease? So norms should be taken into account in the majority of cases. That is why we will not be frightened, sensing the reaction on the virus with high temperature and thirst, as it just means that our immune system works without a hitch. Certainly, a detour from the norm is ground to pay attention to your health. Because even a slight cold and a small mole can cause serious diseases, chronic cold, highmoritis and melanoma accordingly. But in such a case we should not fall into panic and despair and cure ourselves by all means as we can overdo. Continue reading “Essay on Medical Achievements”

There were many events at my workplace where conflict had arisen. An instance where conflict had affected the whole team was shortly after I started working for the company and during a time where my branch was preparing for a branch audit. During this period, we were gathering our information, making sure all information was correct and in order, and procedures adequately followed and documented for several years back. As my team members were doing this, we found that a great many things were not done correctly, and paperwork was either missing or incomplete.

Therefore my team had to work overtime to gather and attempt to find the missing paperwork. Continue reading “Group Conflict Essay”

The community is an essential cell of human society, said Pope John XXIII. Indeed, the role of community in human life is hard to overestimate. Everyone has its history, traditions, culture, and social structure with a high interdependence of people within it. Even a small group of people can still be considered a particular community if it represents an independent social unit. The demonstrative example is McLeod Lake Indian Reservation (MLIR) of British Columbia, Canada.

MLIR illustrates a typical aboriginal Indian reservation. The development of this community is to a great extent conditioned by the degree of integration of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft. The interaction of individuals within the MLIR community is rather tight. The observations showed that the role of close relations among people is vital. It is reflected soundly in the social structure of the community. Gender roles are very close to matriarchy society as women do the most of the collective work to contain the families. A family takes an essential place in MLIR society hence the establishment of the community daycare system for children. Another critical element contributing the development of this community is social work. Social workers pay much attention to all fields, from daycare to forestry. The power structure of MLIR is a democracy. The majority chooses counselors and the Chief every three years. Continue reading “Field Trip Summary Report”

Introduction, some facts about Philip Larkin
To start with I should say that before searching for some Philip Larkin poetry and analyzing it directly, I tried to deal with a lot of sources just to learn more about Philip Larkin as a brilliant representative of post-war and modern literature. His volumes include “The Ship of the North” (1945), “The Less Deceived” (1955), “The Whitsun Wedding” (1964), “High Windows” (1974) and many others. He saw himself as writing in the tradition of Thomas Hardy in refusing to do the mantle of self-conscious poet hood, but fastening without pretension on the everyday experience, pinpointing its impact on the senses and hinting at its half-glimpsed meaning – or more often its fully glimpsed meaninglessness – for a modern man. The feeling recurs that man has lost his footing amid natural and civilization instabilities. But all in the central theme of Larkin’s poetry are losses, loneliness, human solitude, suffering, an opposition of something eternal and transient in a life of a man. And of course, I can’t help saying that a specific thread of irony is appreciable and visional in almost all his works. Continue reading “Philip Larkin Poetry Essay”

The subject of human relationships is one of the most complex issues in our life. Our opinions on marriage, love, sexuality, and cohabitation vary from person to person, and there is no single point of view. One the acutest problems is cohabitation before marriage. In the current paper I will discuss it using information from interviews with five people having marriage experience (see Attachment) and the textbook.

Before getting married it is important to know the partner very well. According to the survey I conducted, it is possible now to create a list of things I would want to know about prospective marriage partner. This list will include the following facts: propensity of the partner for drinking alcohol or taking drugs; his habits and traditions in everyday life; his interests and hobbies; his behavior in sexual life; his financial state and relation towards money; his goals in life and plans for future; and his attitude towards family members and children. It is possible to learn these things while cohabiting with a partner. However, if being careful and attentive, you may find out many important facts even without cohabitation before marriage. For example, Mr. Priestley did not live with his girlfriend before getting married, and they had to learn many things about each other while being married. The differences of their habits in everyday life led to some problems in their relations. However, Mr. Priestley and his wife overcame those difficulties, and they live together for eight years already and consider their marriage successful.
