Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that there appears to be much controversy in the existing literature over the extent to which financial incentives may be an effective tool in employee retention. In particular there are employees with certain desirable characteristics which companies are particularly interested in retaining. The paper presents a research proposal to assess whether the use of financial incentives is effective as a tool for retaining these desirable employees. The paper explains that the study will be comprised of a self-reporting questionnaire which will consist of two sections. The first section will collect data which will allow for the segregation of respondents into two groups based on possession of highly desirable or less desirable employee characteristics. The second section will collect data relating to the importance of financial incentives to the employee when considering remaining with the company. The writer concludes that it is anticipated that the study will demonstrate that financial incentives are a useful tool in retaining high performing and desirable employees.

From the Paper
"The findings of Trank and colleagues (2002) were that individual pay-for-performance schemes were potentially most effective amongst high achievers. As these high achievers are likely to also be the most desirable employees which a company would wish to retain this then would suggest financial incentives to be an effective tool for retention. Rynes and colleagues (2003) suggest that this is related to the concept that financial incentives may function as a motivator due to an individual being driven by the desire to have a salary which is larger than that of their peers. Rynes suggests that it is the differentiation of pay which is actually the largest motivator for this reason. This then would suggest that high salary alone is not sufficient for retention of desirable staff, but that differentiation according to achievement is crucial. Rynes argues that high achievers would not wish to work in a company in which achievement is not recognized through reward. This would then imply that any company which does not engage in pay-for-performance schemes is likely to lose desirable employees to a company which does operate with financial incentives."

Abstract
This paper reviews the evolution of organizational development (OD) from its earliest years to its much wider present state, ending with its ability or lack thereof to address today's specific issues. The field of OD has had many ups and downs, including a rise in the 1960s, a downturn in the 1970s, and its recent updating into many forms. The current broader definition of OD suggests that it may be continue to play a role if it can alters enough to assume strategic roles in organizations to focus on core values to resolve problems that have been avoided or ignored over the years. This paper conducts a systematic review of relevant literature on OD and develops a theoretical framework concerning how OD can relate to changes that occur with mergers and acquisitions and culture.

From the Paper
"There are many trends when it comes to employee motivation and compensation, because big business has determined that money is not the only thing that employees want. Instead, these employees are motivated by different things. It used to be that everyone assumed that employees wanted more money, and they could do any job forever, as long as they were given periodic raises and/or bonuses. In other words, the employer assumed that money was all that mattered to these people that worked for the company. However, employers eventually began to realize that praising employees made them smile, and having a casual day once a week for employees that worked on-site at the company made employees more relaxed. In addition, giving more freedom to employees that work in the field as part of an outside sales force also helps to keep them motivated."

Proposed Strategy for Change
From the Paper
"A new component of the strategic human resource management is that of helping the employees cope with organizational change. This change can occur in numerous forms and can relate to several features of the business operations conducted by the organization. For instance, change occurs when the company undergoes a merger or an acquisition. The leadership of the company is prone to change and employees must be prepared to cope with it. What will this change mean to them? Maybe it will bring about new tasks, new colleagues, new responsibilities or new remuneration systems. Whichever the case, they must be prepared. Also, a change affecting the employees is given by the financial difficulties faced by the organization, when employees might themselves be subjected to repercussions, such as downsizing, delays in getting their salaries or reduced benefits. Finally, change can affect employees in the form of new internal policies which implement new codes of conduct."

Abstract
This paper discusses the role of strategic planning in business, as it determines the overall direction and goals of an organization. More specifically, the paper examines the problems faced by the Metroplitan General Insurance company and how strategic planning can help this company overcome these problems. The paper then explains that the main problem at the company is that its profits have decreased and employees are not happy with the company. The paper further confirms that the company hopes to break even while there is no teamwork between the managers and employees. Next, the paper goes on to specifically describe the problems at Metropolitan General Insurance and what the CEO must do to overcome them, emphasizing, in particular, the need for strong and effective leadership. The paper concludes that companies need strong leadership so that they have the ability to be innovative enough to set themselves apart from their competitors and maintain a successful and stable structure company.
From the Paper
"In order to overcome the issues, the CEO needs to consider group thinking and conformity so that everyone can work together. Working on a team can be very rewarding and exciting, but also frustrating if some of the team member are not committed to the team. Building a high performance team requires time, collaboration and most importantly communication. A team is described as a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable. Group thinking and conformity focuses on the interpersonal transaction between managers and employee. Leaders are seen as engaging in behaviors that maintain a quality interaction between themselves and followers. The company is lacking group thinking and conformity because no one is willing to work together. In order to be an effective company, they have to conform as one so that productivity can be increased to make high profits. This effective form of communication and teamwork allowed people in the park with no problems because the team was organized and knew the proper procedure. A successful team also requires active listening, empathy, and being truly committed. "

Abstract
This study aims at examining and understanding the relationship between fashion coverage within the UK print media and public relations with special attention to newspapers. The nature of fashion coverage is explored through content analysis of a cross section of UK newspapers, semi structured interviews with fashion PR professionals and industry insiders as well as through participant observation in order to identify the way fashion public relations as a discipline is applied and arguably the prime source for fashion print media coverage in the UK. Through careful examination of the strategies, methods and formulas applied by the fashion PR industry in order to promote fashion items and ensure print media coverage, the study contributes to knowledge by providing empirical foundation to the under researched area of fashion public relations. It adds to the existing knowledge emerging from other areas of public relations and draws attention to an important and established yet academically neglected part of the PR industry. The paper includes an appendix that contains interviews carried out with UK fashion PR professionals.

"The fashion director sets the journalistic calendar for the whole year, which is more of a framework with room for changes. The various articles and features are discussed with the whole fashion team and the editors are briefed on what to research and write about, photo shoots are also being scheduled. Newspapers as opposed to magazines have a tight schedule and work approximately a week up to a few days in advance. The tabloids are the prime employers of fashion staff, they employ not just one fashion team but groups of journalists covering different fashion related subject areas.
"With the emergence of newspaper supplements, some of which have a fashion focus, some of which are entirely devoted to fashion, such as the Sunday Times Style Magazine, newspapers employ more fashion staff. There is usually a separate fashion team for the supplements, as well as freelance fashion writers who are also used frequently for specific features. They often function as outside experts that are brought in to write about certain fashion trends or items."

Technology and Management Functions, 2008.
This paper looks at technology and management functions, concentrating on the United States military.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that managing people and resources in today's world has become a complex undertaking due to the changing nature of the business environment. The world has truly become a smaller place with people's ability to travel faster from one end of the globe to another or talk amongst each other using modern and emerging technologies. As a result of all these, management nowadays cannot be confined to hands on style but rather managers need to understand how to use current technologies in order to achieve their company's strategic, tactical and operational goals. The writer discusses this matter as it relates to the United States military. The writer maintains that despite military management's reliance on technology, this is all done not only to improve operational capabilities but for the benefit of the soldiers in order for them to do their jobs to the best they can with the best technology there is. The writer concludes that while technology will be crucial to achieving greater operational agility and precision lethality, the human dimension will continue to be the critical element of war.
From the Paper
"Indeed, from the smallest to the largest unit of the military hierarchy, technology is used to improve the operational conditions. In the unit to which the writer belongs, management's use of technology is ubiquitous and no doubt without which, doing our jobs will be difficult. One of our unit's tasks is to process contracts for military personnel deploying to the Iraqi theatre of operations. Rather than travelling to and from different locations to consult or meet, we use video teleconferencing technology to do this. The system is connected via secure satellite link and fiber optic network. The thirty personnel in my unit also uses secure laptop PCs to do most of their work and this has been also an effective tool not only in terms of facilitation communications but getting all the necessary administrative and logistics work done. Using these types of technology also lessen our dependence on paper outputs since information are stored either on our laptops or available online from our servers."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Basel's committee on banking supervision was established as a response to the changes in world currency in the years leading up to 1974. By that time, the US and Great Britain had decoupled their currencies from gold and silver which had been established in the 1940's, and therefore offered a 'pure' promissory currency. Increases in oil prices in 1974 led to massive transfers of wealth to Middle Eastern nations, and several banks were imperiled by these changes."

"Stated to be a good measure of devolvement was an increase in proactivity in personnel function in the past five years and in both the Indian and British interviews relating to involvement another measure was revealed stating to be "continuous feedback from line managers."

(Budhwar and Sparrow, 2002) An expectations that such type examinations might reveal "the extent to which managerial cognition of strategic HRM actually relate to practice. Similarly, the influence of possible new dimensions of national culture, as suggested by both Indian and British managers' viewpoint should be examined. The thinking of personnel specialists and different levels of employees from other sectors, regarding their function, should also be examined." (Budhwar and Sparrow, 2002)"

" It has been discovered that technology has grown very quickly in the business world. With this growth in technology, numerous people have been able to compete within the industry. For example, the typical companies are not the only ones that are fighting for the market. Kingspan has created an online ordering service for customers, which has increased sales and profits. It seems the company had decided to create a CRM strategy in order to compete with the competitors. A CRM strategy should analyze customer segments and make the appropriate determinations on whether each segment is profitable for their business and how to affect the purchase patterns of the segment so the business can experience the profitable attributes of CRM; loyalty purchasing, cross selling, up selling, etc. Direct Mail fits perfectly into the customer communication strategy for customer segmentation."

Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations
From the Paper
"The trends are clear and unmistakable. Just a decade ago, online sales were a very small part of the national economy of the United States and were virtually nonexistent in the former Soviet Union, and online sales in total comprised a tiny fraction of global trade. Today, though, online sales are in the tens of billions of dollars, and electronic commerce is becoming increasingly important to consumers, sellers, and entire economies. Though considered to be in its relative infancy, Internet usage and on-line marketing are also growing explosively. In fact, during 2003 alone, approximately 40 million households in the U.S. made at least one purchase from the Internet, up from only six million in 1994 (Black, 2005). Rapid innovations in a wide range of telecommunications, the volume and rapidity of air travel (in spite of the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States), e-business and instantaneous "live" television coverage of important - and not so important - events have made the world a smaller place in which to live and shop, but with an enormously wider selection of choices available for those with the right tools and access. Today, new words and terminologies have entered the vernacular to describe this emerging reality; e.g., Internet, e-commerce, KBE, ISPS, dot-com companies, web portals, telephony, PGs, wireless application protocols; combined with other buzzwords such as "creative destruction" and "paradigm shift," as well as neologisms such as "glocalization," "globalating" and "technoglobalism," it is clear that more and more businesses will be turning to the Internet as a way to improve their competitive advantage and increase their market share in current and additional markets (Mutalib, 2002). Indeed, advances in technology have provided useful supportive tools in the conventional market. For example, television and radio have greatly facilitated one-way communication. Various information systems can be used to process transactions, collect and analyze data."

Leadership and Management, 2008.

Abstract
The paper discusses the nature of business management as an applied science and states that business management is limited to one component of the economic system, namely the individual organization. The profitable performance of a business is dependent on attaining pre-designed objectives and to make its services as productive and efficient as possible. The paper continues and discusses the roles of leadership and management and concludes that the interaction between the concept of management and that of leadership should not obscure or neglect their intrinsic differences.
Outline:
Introduction
Different approaches to the terms Leadership and Management
Management
Leadership and Management
Beyond the Leadership Management Dualism
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This view would seem to imply that management and leadership are two different things. While the point that Dubin makes is valid, yet it must also be acknowledged that in today's dynamic and complex environment, management in the more traditional sense of delegation, ordering and organization may not be sufficient to deal with the many elements of modern business and organizational demands. In other words, one perspective in this debate would see the conflation and reduction of the two terms as theoretically incorrect, and that in a more practical sense these two terms coexist and that leadership has become in many instances a necessary and intrinsic component of managing."

Perception and Decision-Making, 2008.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the process and the organization of perception as extremely important in any decision-making endeavor. Specifically, the paper looks at the differences in perception on individuals' understanding of reality and how this affects the decision-making process within the business environment where there are numerous variables. In other words, perception takes place when the individual selects, organizes and interprets the various sensory inputs or impressions that he or she encounters. Furthermore, this paper looks at what happens when there are perceptual errors in decision-making within the business sphere.
From the Paper
"However, perceptions may not always be correct. They may be biased or simply based on flawed or false information and data. This is a central issue that the business leader or manager has to be aware of. Therefore, it follows that a fundamental issue in the relationship between perception and business decisions is that clear and accurate perceptions are essential for correct and effective decisions in any business concern.
"While the above statement is the ideal that should be achieved, in reality the issue of perception poses a number of problems for the business manager and for anyone making decisions in the business world. Managers and leader in business have to be aware of the quality of the information that they base their decisions on and in other factors that can negatively affect the perceptions that lead to decision making. For example, the biases and prejudices that may be a part of the perception process have to be 'filtered out' of the decision - making in order for the decisions to be as accurate and effective as possible."

Chapter Three:What options will be most beneficial to the employees and the general public of the U.S.?
Chapter Four: Can the U.S. Remain a Superpower and Protect Its People from Terrorism while Reducing Its Military?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In recent years, many pundits have been heard lamenting the loss of the 'good old days of Communism,' when America's enemies were well demarked and neatly contained in known geographic areas. By sharp contrast, today, the terrorist threats arrayed against the United States and its interests at home and abroad are dramatically different than years past, and even the most enthusiastic weapons systems advocates would likely be reluctant to suggest that such innovations would prove effective against these increasingly nebulous threats to America's security. In spite of the growing need for more sophisticated weapons and communications systems on the battlefield, some analysts suggest that the Department of Defense has failed to continue the pace of modernization projects that was historically maintained during the Cold War. One author emphasizes that, "It would be wrong to say U.S. forces have reached the point where they are forced to use obsolete weapons and equipment. On the other hand, according to the department, the need to step up modernization funding is growing with each passing year" (Brasher, 2000, p. 203). This is not to say, of course, that the new types and levels of threats have been ignored, but rather that defense spending is not being used to its maximum advantage today, but the policymakers are trying."

Unethical Behavior in the Workplace, 2008.
An analysis of the ramifications of unethical behavior in the workplace.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the ramifications of unethical behavior in the workplace, as well as how ethics function at a practical level within work environments. The paper concludes that unethical behavior is extremely unproductive for the greater good, since it distorts economic productivity and decreases the morale of the organization. It suggests that there is a great need for ethics to be instituted within policy initiatives.
Table of Contents:
Thesis Statement
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The premise of unethical behavior in the workplace is a foundation for disaster, as the greed of a few persons in high positions can devastate the rest of the company or business by deviant actions. When there are no guidelines for behavior and conduct then chaos becomes the mainstay for all personnel to act selfishly. If the greater good is not kept in tact, then people like Martha Stewart would certainly dissolve the moral fiber of the American economy. Also, the positive growth of feminist ethics in the workplace is helping to reduce sexual harassment and the glass ceiling policies of patriarchal business. This is one example of how business ethics are a practical and extremely useful set of rules for policies that will increase economic productivity and help morale boost unity in the workplace."
