SummaryOn the Museum of Science’s Human Resources website, I learned of various employment opportunities in Visitor Services. I am very interested in these positions, and I believe I have the skills and expertise to excel at providing the best experience for guests. Particularly, I would love the part-time, temporary CSI staff position of Visitor Services Representative—Operations, for with my current schedule, the 10.25 hours per week fit perfectly, although I do have some flexibility if a different set of hours would prove more beneficial to the museum. However, I am also applying for the Visitor Services Representative II. Ideally, I would love the opportunity to manage both positions, to prove my ability in the part-time atmosphere to succeed in a full-time role, and am willing to build my spring semester / 2008 schedule around this position.

SummaryTyco was founded in 1960 by Arthur J. Rosenberg as a small research laboratory that did testing for the government. Throughout the 1960’s Tyco began to focus on the commercial sector by producing new technology and materials as well as energy conversion products. The company went public in 1964, and it began to quickly expand by acquiring other organizations. The newly acquired organizations helped Tyco International improve in their particular industry, offering new products and services. These organizations were able to fill gaps in the company’s distribution network. As time went on, Tyco continued its growth through the acquisition of companies and by advancing their technology. This expansion continued throughout the 1990’s during the Internet boom. The CEO of Tyco International, Dennis Kozlowski, was named the most successful CEO and honored by magazines such as Time (www.referenceforbusiness.com). In 2002, Kozlowski and Tyco CFO Mark Swartz were accused of stealing over $600 million in corporate money through a variety of dishonest business practices and schemes. In 2005, both men were convicted on various charges and were sentenced to 8 1/3-25 years in prison. The scandal that occurred at Tyco International demonstrates the importance of business ethics, and it proves that stronger internal controls are essential to corporate honesty.

SummaryTotal quality management is “a management approach of an organization, centered on quality, based on the participation of all of its members and aiming at long-term success through customer satisfaction, and benefits to all members of the organization and too society” (Wikipedia). This is the definition of total quality management as given by the International Standards Organization, and while the definition provides a vague notion of what total quality management is, it fails to provide any real knowledge of total quality management. Instead, as with many things in life, in order to fully understand what total quality management is, what it’s various facets are, and how it gets implemented, it is necessary to explore first hand how real corporation define and use total quality management. In this paper, I will analyze the way in which the Toyota Motor Corporation uses total quality management, with a specific focus on the Toyota Production System and the three main tools by which Toyota Motor Corporation manages total quality management.

SummaryTotal Quality Management is a component of strategic managment, which improves an organization from top to bottom. In particular, it is a structured approach, which aims at enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty through a continous improvement of services quality.
Total Quality Management in services is extremely sensitive to ineffective strategy implementation. Services are delivered to consumers as soon as they are produced by the provider and this inseparability of production and consumption requires extremely effective processes in TQM implementation.

SummaryNot long ago, offshoring was uncommon for companies. Today, however, it is becoming a more commonplace practice: as prices for manufacturing rise in the US; shipping these operations overseas becomes more appealing. If we talk about offshoring we can separate the practice in two distinctive types of offshoring: Offshoring Blue Collar Jobs and offshoring White Collar jobs. Blue Collar jobs are basically all jobs which historically have required the person to wear a uniform (which were often blue). A Blue Collar worker is a person working manual labor and is usually paid hourly. Manufacturing Jobs are usually referred to as Blue Collar jobs and can include unskilled or skilled labor. On the other hand White Collar jobs can be any job which is not considered a Blue Collar Job and usually does not include manual labor. White Collar Worker most often receives their income in the form of salary. Examples of White Collar Jobs include Sales, Managerial and Clerical Jobs. Offshoring can refer to moving jobs to companies already in existence in another country, or can refer to a company building facilities in their own name overseas.

SummaryTruth is the underlying layer to all human actions. Truth is the deciding factor of integrity (honesty) and it is what we yearn for and seek after like nothing else. Theory, on the other hand, is the outer layer of truth, sort of like the very beginnings of peeling back an onion. As time progresses we begin to see that this onion (like the theories we believe in) can sometimes turn into the core truth that our lives are situated on. Theory can be understood better and as a result we can use our understanding to better our worldview and our concept on truth. But first we must understand the definition.

SummaryKnowledge economy integrates effectively knowledge aiming to enhance organizational performance, competitiveness, and corporate social responsibility. Being a source of innovation and creativity, it attains organizational competence through the proficient and continual exchange of knowledge, it produces agile organizations and it contributes to socio-economic growth. Additionally, it enables countries to realize better results with a finer exploitation of the readily available resources they possess towards the improvement of living standards in terms of health, affluence and future progress. Furthermore, it facilitates the discovery of new opportunities for organizations and the formation of entrepreneurship-oriented societies.
Effective integration of knowledge necessitates the leverage of the major challenge of globalization. Rapid technological changes and information concentration call for heavy investment in information technology. Gathering, processing and evaluating information in the first instance, and converting it into knowledge in the second instance is a strategic goal for organizations. By bringing down interdepartmental barriers and facilitating company-wide availability and distribution of information, knowledge is disseminated within the organization.

The job required that I have a supreme knowledge of statistical packages and knowledge of excel. One of the few software packages I had used already was UCINET, a statistical package famous for its network analyses tools.
