There exists a state of resistance to change among members of management, which is very commonplace among industries that have been operating under a hierarchical fashion for several years."

Abstract
Using the case of Enron as a backdrop, this paper asks and answers several questions relating to the prosecution of management in corporate crime. The questions involve which laws are broken in the current cases at issue; whether prosecution should include accounting firms and the CFO, how much authority managers have in accounting activities, whether managers should be prosecuted if they had no role in the crime, whether prosecution is becoming a deterrent,and whether corporations are exempt from criminal prosecution?
From the Paper
"Recently, a number of headline-grabbing cases, such as the accounting fraud that existed at the Enron Corporation, have highlighted the role of management at various corporations and in the financial industry, in the commission of corporate crime. The role of accountants and the major corporate accounting firms, as well as the chief financial advisors of corporations and the management personnel whom may or may not be aware of illegal accounting activities, are now under strict scrutiny by the SEC."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer discusses the theories raised that in the article 'Corporate reputation management: "CRM" with a strategic twist?'. The writer points out that CRM is necessary because corporate leadership and market success is no longer dependent on dynamics such as price or temporary product or technology superiority. The writer also shows that according to the article, a company needs CRM to meet its strategic and financial objectives, because a company's reputation is increasingly affecting its ability to sell products and services, to attract investors, to attract employees, and to influence government. The writer concludes that companies that seek better profits are now realizing that they are tied to what they can do for the welfare of its customers and the members of society. Further, the writer points out that a tighter linkage between the organizational, customer and society functions of public relations will achieve a new business vision for profit maximization called CRM.
From the Paper
"As the article explains, it's important to understand how its reputation compares against both industry competitors and best of the class companies because CRM is an important source of competitive advantage. Research tools such as a reputation management index referred to as Delahaye/RMI is recommended to measure the reputation of a company based on responses from various stakeholders. Results can help organizations assess their strengths and weaknesses and to then develop appropriate strategies to improve corporate reputation.
This is a great article because it recognizes that obsession with the bottom line can be lethal for a company unless it also pays attention to other areas such as ethics, transparency and the welfare of the customer and society. For example, a company that promotes a product that it knows is bad for society (think cigarettes) will eventually pay a high price for doing so."

Abstract
This paper examines how, thanks to globalization, today's business world is increasingly competitive and how, because of this competitiveness, management's role is an ever more crucial component of the organization's success. By discussing the innovations in corporate management, one can better predict what may be needed for an organization to be successful in the future, as well as how the role of management may change. It analyzes emerging management concepts, as well as the changing demographics of today's workforce, and evaluates how these trends will affect the four basic functions of management: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.
From the Paper
"With the utilization of total quality management systems, and especially the Six Sigma program, management will be key to this being a positive implementation. Six Sigma focuses on "executive ownership, establishment of a business strategy execution system, training with a verifiable return on investment, creating a truly cross-functional approach and actual business results." (Davis, 2003, p. 6) Without management's commitment to this process, Six Sigma cannot happen."

Abstract
In the increasingly competitive corporate environment that has developed worldwide over the last 20-30 years, there has been an equally competitive drive toward finding ways in which businesses can compete through innovative business practices. The challenges are many, and the culture has responded with countless ideas and principles, which can help a business grow and possibly even excel within their niche. Yet, the standards and practices associated with these new business methods and models are even more important today as the economy begins the very slow upturn from the post 9/11 economic recession. This work offers an analysis of the types of innovative strategies that have allowed companies to survive and even thrive in the challenging market of today. Initial findings indicate that strategy and not luck rules the day.
From the Paper
"Within the corporate world many individuals will cite an innovative product, marketing or IT infrastructure as the sole reasons why a company or market is successful or unsuccessful in any given environment. (Michalko) Though it is abundantly clear that these issues are all imperative to the successful development and growth of a business, the most foundational infrastructure is undoubtedly innovative corporate management. Without the guidance of the larger managerial grid many ideas and or products would never make it to market."

Corporate Risk Management in the Uncertain Global Economy, 2008.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines the article "Managing Global Risk to Seize Competitive Advantage" by Paul A. Laudicina, which promises to offer corporate decision-makers a blueprint for managing risk in today's global environment. The paper asserts that the greatest service which Laudicina offers his readers is the overview which he gives on the topic of globalization. The paper maintains that while it consistently points to the necessity of risk management in the unpredictable frontier of international trade, Laudicina's article does not furnish its readers with any applicable counsel on minimizing risk damage. The paper shows, however, how the article successfully explains how corporate planners will find themselves at a loss to compete if they are not readily equipped to conform to a rapidly changing trade climate.
From the Paper
"For much of the world's history, its economies have been divided, with different cultures, politics and social ideologies often reinforcing sharp geographical dividing lines between countries. Even throughout the 20th Century, when the Cold War split the globe into two opposing nation-building parties that were embodied by the United States and the Soviet Union, separation of nation-states was a fundamentally protected international value. With the collapse of the latter of the imperial powers, the world entered into a new phase of economic principality, with the notion of the world functioning as a single, interdependent fiduciary entity becoming a greater reality. Though it has opened up the floodgates for corporate opportunity, this process, known as globalization, is one that has likewise invited a glut of controversy and has created a theretofore unseen atmosphere of deregulation and subsequent unpredictability for corporations."

From the Paper
"Rapid change is always a challenge for a technology company; it is the nature of the industry. One of the most significant changes that have occurred in the technology industry is the decreased interests in personal computers. Much of the lost interest in personal computers is due to the fact that most new PCs do not offer any new options that people aren't willing to live without. The rapid change in the decline of computer sales has caused the demise of many companies that manufacture PCs. Rapid change also occurs when poor economic conditions are present because consumer spending is low and people are not purchasing products that are not necessities."

Cultural Management - Culture Cannot Be Managed, 2008.
The paper discusses the question of if and how culture can be managed in a business environment.
1,928 words (approx. 7.7 pages), 5 sources, APA, AU$ 65.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper, the validity of the belief that in a business setting culture cannot be managed is critically analyzed and arguments are made both for and against the statement. The paper also presents examples that suggest that organizational culture does play a very important role in the success of the organization. However, these same examples also serve to reinforce a contention about the inability of corporate culture or management to undergo change.
From the Paper
"It must be acknowledged that the assertion - "Culture cannot be managed" - would likely meet with some degree of skepticism from organizational management students as well as corporate professionals. However, it may be argued that there is some validity to the perspective on the relationship between management and organizational culture that is manifest in this assertion. Consider, for example, the case of software giant J.D. Edwards. The corporation's CEO and chairman, C. Edward McVaney, contends that the success of a business often has very little to do with its management and senior executives who - as is commonplace in corporate culture - often come and go with minimal impact upon the organization itself. It is McVaney's view that the success of an organization is based upon its culture, which is usually invulnerable to change by management or business leaders. In McVaney's words: "95% of the time, the leaders and management of a business do not lead and manage that business" (Jesitus 16)."

An analysis of the theories of corporate management and corporate operations in the modern world.

»

Abstract
This paper discusses the purpose of a corporation in the modern context. It considers not only the theories of corporate management, but also the realities of corporate operations in the modern world. From this perspective, this paper argues that the stakeholder theory of management should determine the purpose of the modern corporation as it is not only theoretically and ethically sound, but also effectively addresses real-world challenges in the area of modern corporate management.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, it may therefore be said that the stakeholder theory of management represents the theoretical foundation upon which the reality of the modern corporation should be based. The recognition that the corporation's primary purpose should be the respecting and balancing of its relationships of mutual duty and responsibility with a wide range of stakeholders is therefore both a viable ethical model as well as a view that reflects the reality of corporate law and control in the modern world. Given the decline in management's fiduciary responsibility to shareholders throughout the 20th century, only stakeholder theory offers viable conditions for the continued existence of the corporation in the mid- and long-term future."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Technology as defined in the American Heritage dictionary is: The application of science, esp. in industry or commerce" (p. 841). When one thinks of technology, he or she does not generally think about the science. Typically a consumer just considers the capabilities the product offers in meeting his or her needs. Actually, the science is the driving force for the development of the product, not necessarily the needs of the consumer. As a global leader in communications, technology is what drives Motorola Corporation."
