Abstract
This paper describes the Mintzberg model of management. It goes into depth about the business concepts of the interpersonal role, informational role, and decision-maker roles in management. This essay also discusses what the manager of any task must do and how to go about doing it, pulling from examples of criminal justice and policing.
From the Paper
"The key to success is effective management. Management that takes time to listen and respect what is demanded of them produces successful results. Management is a skill, and skills can be learned over time. Technical skills involve specialized knowledge and analytical ability that can be easily learned. Human skills describe the executive's ability to work as a member of a group ad to build cooperation. This skill involves being sensitive to others feelings and being able to empathize with different views and cultures. Conceptual skills involve coordinating activities and interests of organizations into a common objective: translating knowledge into action. Henry Mintzberg constructed behaviors and attitudes of chief executive officers for any organization. He is currently a Cleghorn Professor of Management Studies at McGill University in Montreal, and an established author. The three main roles of the CEO of any company can be broken down into: interpersonal role, informational role, and decision maker roles."

Abstract
This paper explains that Professor Henry Mintzberg recommends in his book ,"MBAs but not Managers", that management education should only be for those individuals who already have some experience overseeing personnel. The author points out that Mintzberg believes that there are opportunities where people can get management training once they are with a company through on-the-job training , feedback from others and in-house corporate universities. The paper states that Mintzberg recommends what he calls the "International Masters in Practicing Management", which would include skills in managing self, organizations, context, relationships and change.
From the Paper
"This is not surprising, given how professional degrees are increasing in importance. Where undergraduate degrees in education, library science, social sciences, and the like used to mean something, they are becoming equivalent to high school degrees. More and more elitist businesses, nonprofits and educational organizations want that Master's Degree. The problem is the same as with the MBA, these students may have the piece of paper, but not the experience. Nor do they really know what they want to do. Earlier generations immediately went to work right out of school and stayed ..."

Traits and Experiences of CEO's as Predictors of CEO Selection, 2002.
A literature review on the characteristics of CEOs and whether these are an indicator of their future occupation.

Abstract
This paper examines literature relevant to the traits and experiences of CEOs with a view toward identifying factors that may be useful in predicting the potential of an individual to be selected to assume the responsibilities of a CEO. More specifically, the following research question is investigated: Do CEOs have common traits or experiences that can predict their selection for the position of CEO?
The literature reviewed focuses primarily on the traits and experiences of CEOs of major corporations and on the traits and experiences used by major corporations in the selection of individuals for CEO appointments.
From the Paper
"Pasternack, Van Nuys, and Perkins (1998) identified four behaviors that lead to CEO success. First, a successful CEO acts promptly once a problem has been identified and its character diagnosed. Equally important to CEO success, in this regard, is that a CEO should not act in a precipitous manner. Second, subordinate managers who do not actively support a CEO?s program should be replaced quickly. Third, a CEO should prioritize her or his time and adhere to the policy thus established. Fourth, a successful CEO quickly establishes strong relationships with members of the firm?s board of directors.
Paul de Benedictis (2000), Vice-President at Christian & Timbers, an executive search firm, holds that: ?Executives are hired on technical traits and are usually fired because of the wrong combination of human characteristics, or ?soft traits.? The essential elements of these ?soft traits? include honesty and integrity, intellectual capacity, intensity, leadership and passion? (pp. 1-3)."

The Attitudinal Model and the Rational Choice Model, 2006.
A comparative analysis between the effectiveness of the attitudinal model and the rational choice model fo studying law.

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the Attitudinal Model and the Rational Choice Model for studying the law and the courts. This paper looks into how both models are used to understand the courts, in particular the United States Supreme Court. In addition, through a comparative analysis both models are applied to circumstances to determine which model is most appropriate when trying to understanding how the courts establish and define law.
From the Paper
"At first glance the attitudinal model and the rational choice (Strategic) model for studying the law and the courts seem vastly different. Essentially this is because they serve different purposes. The Attitudinal Model seeks to explain why justices (for our purposes justices on the Supreme Court) vote the way that they do, and the running premise is that they do so to implement their own personal policy preferences into the law. The Strategic Model seeks to explain the collective decision making process of the Supreme Court, focusing on what constrains, controls and influences the justices' decisions. However, the relationship between the Attitudinal Model and the Strategic Model for studying the law and the courts is not as clear-cut as this. This is because in an analysis of their essential foundations and applications, the strategic model, although different and contradictory at times, supplements the Attitudinal Model."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of Dorothea Orem's method of nursing. She introduced the concept that nurses, as human beings, need to be allowed to treat patients according to their individual needs. The author examines this theory, and presents several examples where it has been applied successfully.
From the Paper
"Nursing isn?t only about ?doing for the patient,? but about assisting them and directing them to carry out their own self-care and self-directed life. ?A patient competent to live in the real world is competent not only to obtain and participate health care, but to do as much of it as would be done outside the institutional setting normally.? (Coleman, pp. 325-344, 1980) Self-care then, is especially important in any field of nursing because health care is more about taking care of the body outside of the institution rather than in it."

The Due Process Model vs. The Crime Control Model, 2004.
Looks at the conflicting goals of the United States criminal justice system: to control crime and to protect the rights of the accused.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The criminal justice system here in the United States has traditionally operated under the premises of two fundamentally opposing goals. One goal is the crime control goal. This goal operates under the idea that criminals should be aggressively pursued and crimes aggressively punished. The other goal is the due process goal. This goal operates under the premise that the rights of the accused need to be carefully protected in any criminal justice investigation. This paper examines both of these positions, determining which one is the better goal for the United States to pursue, and why.
From the Paper
"Liberals have been the traditional defenders of the due process model (Perron). They are certainly operating under noble guidelines. The United States Constitution itself carefully lays out the rights of the accused in a series of amendments in the Bill of Rights. The Founding Fathers were obviously very concerned about protecting the rights of the accused, or these protections would not have been included in the Constitution. Should we as a nation follow any less stringent standards in dealing with our accused today? "

Abstract
The growth of the concept of a strategic approach to managing people can be attributed to rapid environmental changes that have taken place over the last two decades. This paper first examines the dichotomy between two human resource management approaches to overall employee management. It then examines the difficulties in implementing the current management model into modern companies. The two models examined are the ?hard model? of human resource management and the soft model that has replaced it in most modern organizations, especially in the services and technology sectors. The paper includes a graph and table.
Table of Contents
Introduction
The Dichotomy Between Soft and Hard Models of Human Resource Management
Divergence and Rigidity Within Soft and Hard Models of Human Resource Management
Human Nature and the Employee
The Language and Reality of New Careers
Implications for Establishing the New Career Paradigm
Conclusion
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Soft HRM models focus on empowering employees and management to take charge of the organization, to continually learn and grow in their jobs as well as in their careers and to be willing to take risks and be innovative in their approach to their jobs. It has become almost part and parcel with today?s new information and services based economy, where older centralized command and control type management would be too unwieldy to respond to the demands of the new market place. The second effect of companies adopting the soft HRM approach is the narrowing of organizational structure. Where previously older organizations have had a vertical, highly compartmentalized management structure, those companies who have adopted the soft approach or those who start off with it, see their management structure become narrower and more responsibility for decision making rests in the hands of the employees and frontline management."

From the Paper
"With the agressive deregulation in the telecommunications industry in the United States and Europe during the early to mid-1990?s, it seemed that the local monopolies would be forced to unbundle their networks. However, MCI WorldCom, the second largest US long distance telecommunications company, announced in October 1999, that it would acquire Sprint, the third largest US long distance company, in the biggest corporate takeover in history. The merger is valued at $129 billion in cash, stock and debt. The resulting firm will be second only to AT&T in the US telecommunications industry, a company with, as of 1999, $65 billion in annual revenue, 142,000 workers and 40 million business and residential customers (McGaughlin, 1999)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the importance of a firm?s chief operating officer (CEO) to the firm?s performance and market value has long been recognized and how the process of selecting individuals for appointment as CEOs has been studied extensively and, at times, such studies have produced conflicting results. It evaluates how the addition of the growth of Internet-based firms has added to the complexity of determining the best fit of the traits and experiences of a candidate with the needs and culture of an organization. Through an extensive literature review, it analyzes traits and experiences of CEOs with a view toward identifying factors that may be useful in predicting the potential of an individual to be selected to assume the responsibilities of a CEO.

Economic Growth Models, 2004.
This paper discusses economic growth models, especially the Solow-Swan model and the New Growth Theory models.

Abstract
This paper explains that the neoclassical growth model, also known as the Solow-Swan model, was considered the basis of any research on economic growth; however, the neoclassical model treated technological progress as an exogenous factor to the model, and this led to some puzzles that it could not answer. The author points out that the endogenous model that appeared in the 1980s stressed the importance of immaterial resources that had an impact on economic growth, resources such as human capital and R&D that improved technological progress and increased economic growth; the subsequent models that followed were included in the New Growth Theory trend and endogenized economic growth. The paper examines three cases of fiscal policy using government spending as growth determinants: increased government expenditures without raising taxes, tax reduction without reducing government expenditure, and increased government expenditure with constant taxes. Economic notation used.

Literature Review
From the Paper
"We should take a closer look at these statements starting from the Cobb-Douglas production function Y = AKaL1-a. The idea is to endogenize the exogenous factor A. In order to do so, let?s frst write a Cobb-Douglas production function for each individual firm:
Yi = Ai Ki aLi 1-a. Concerned with the factor Ai, Arrows argued that this is represents knowledge and learning accumulated in the society throughout time with collective investments and is a common and free good to all firms. How is it accumulated? Arrow relates this accumulation to the aggregate capital in an economy by the function Ai = Gz,
where G signifies the capital accumulation, which will be used in a proportion equal to z by the firm. Following in the Cobb-Douglas individual production function, Yi = Gz Ki aLi 1-a. Note that in this equation, K, L and Y are individual firm-related, while G is economy wide, as we have agreed above. If we consider that at an aggregate level, G = K, then our equation becomes Y = K a+z L 1-a."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at different models and forms of therapy for families that are experiencing problems. The writer notes that natural therapy is a form of psychotherapy that does not allow for medications, but that uses techniques that are aimed at assisting the individual to overcome issues through a natural approach. The writer looks at cognitive behavioral therapy in which the problem is seen to exist through the individual's thoughts and actions. The writer then discusses structural therapy and strategic family therapy. The writer maintains that the solution focused model of family therapy identifies the outcomes that the family desires and uses those outcomes as the focus of the therapy. In the narrative model the writer notes that clients are asked to take part in a narrative history of life and in collaborative therapy the patient and the therapist work as partners in the discovery of issues and the implementation of solutions to the issues.
Outline:
Natural System Model
Cognitive-Behavioral Model
Structural Model
Problem Focus Model
Strategic Model
Solution-Focused Model
Narrative Model
Collaborative Language System Model
From the Paper
"Change for the patient requires that the thoughts and actions impacting the person's life must be identified initially. This may occur through the patient speaking with the therapist and answering questions that serve to allow the therapist to determine where the issues exist. However, the patient should be the one that identifies the problem areas through discussion so that he or she is capable of understanding that change is significant.
"Techniques used in cognitive behavioral therapy are implemented once the identification of the problem has occurred. The therapist may give the patient "homework" and a new mental or physical response to a situation. That new response is used by the patient in place of the negative response and it is through practice that a new method of thought or behavior can be experienced on an ongoing basis, replacing the former thoughts and action."

Abstract
The predominance of existing research related to hedging strategies relative to the futures markets is typically concerned with agricultural, foreign exchange (forex), and petroleum products. This paper attempts to offer some insight relative to the mathematical modeling techniques which financial hedging strategists employ in order to be successful at mitigating risk. The paper explains that modeling volatility within the financial markets has not received a great deal of academic attention. The paper then looks at how Siddique and Harvey, in "Auto regressive Conditional Skewness" undertook a study of auto regressive conditional skewness which utilized GARCH techniques wherein they concluded that auto regressive models might be successful at modeling time-series variations relative to asset pricing such as stock returns but not necessarily for futures and related hedging strategies. The paper shows that researchers successfully applied the GARCH model to daily returns volatility of two separate futures markets in commodities. The paper concludes that these researchers proved that every hedging entity can adapt these models to develop a functional model that can accurately incorporate intervention related to exchange rate fluctuations into a futures volatility model that works to effectively hedge each entity's particular needs and constraints.

From the Paper
"Predicting, managing, and leveraging the uncertainty in futures market is however vital if a comprehensive market strategy is going to be developed that enables an entity to efficiently control, or at least manage, the cost-basis of its investments or operating expenses. GARCH techniques can be used to construct models that control, to some degree, conditional variances related to futures as well as spot market prices and allow better management of financial or commodities portfolios."

From the Paper
"The idea was to create food delivery service that would consist of a net of dispatch-centers all over New York, and each dispatch-center would serve specific area around itself. This service would replace delivery services that each business needs to maintain for itself. The company will be located in New York and hopefully will expand to other areas in the United States. It will employ hundreds of people from different origins - mostly non-professional young people, immigrants, and minorities - for the delivery service, and smaller number of employees for various levels of management, maintenance, system operation, etc. It will use hundreds of vehicles to perform deliveries and occupy tens of premises all over New York. Its potential customers will be all food preparing businesses in New York ? pizzerias, various ethnic cuisine restaurants, etc., and its consumers will be the residents of New York. The enterprise will use Internet to enhance the connection between consumers, customers, and NY Food Express operatives. The estimated net profit from every dispatch-center will be around $200 thousand a year, and it is expected to yield a stable $6-8 million a year when all New York area will be covered by the service."

Limitations Of the Price Limit Model, 2002.
This paper analyzes the various assumptions of the limit pricing model and assesses whether it is an acceptable model or not.

Abstract
The following paper critically analyzes the Limit Pricing Model, which uses limit pricing which is when companies form collusion or a cartel and try to maintain price levels which may or may not not maximize their profits or stop the entry of new firms in the market. One of the major limitations of the model discussed in this paper is that the model assumes collusion. Another limitation examined is that the model assumes the products to be homogeneous. The writer concludes, after discussing eight limitations of the model, that it is completely inappropriate.
From the Paper
"In an oligopoly there are a few entrepreneurs who are in tight competition with each other and due to this the market price is sticky or we can say downward rigid. Oligopolists do not usually decrease price (?sticky downward prices?), and tend to change prices together. Rivals match each others price decrease which leads to a ?price- war? and obviously they do end up losing in it and form a cartel. Cartels are an example of a collusive industry. Collusion occurs when firms in an industry agree to fix prices, divide the market among themselves, or otherwise restrict competition in some way."
