A Multinational corporation has operations in more than one country.  A lot of planning, organizing and influencing people make these companies grow internationally.  The only Multinational organization that I have worked for is McDonald's but I never had a manager position so I did not see the extent of what really goes on.  This was a great Module to learn about and for my future business endeavors it is something to think about. Of course I chose the Golden Arches as my picture since that was my first job and it's multinational. Have you worked for a Multinational Organization?  If so, what is something that you personally learned?]]> 2017-10-11 02:39:29 UTC https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/195862880 avariley78 https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196247402 Everywhere that I have worked there has been a multi-generation workforce.  Some jobs everyone got along just fine and in other jobs the older generation looked down upon the younger generation.  I noticed that when everyone came together it was a more productive work environment.   Here is a graph showing the three generations that are in the workforce now. How has a multi-generation workforce worked for you?

I chose the article below because it shows the impact of having diverse employees and that even now some executives are not sure exactly what the term "diverse" really means. It's time that the "boomers" truly understand the great impact that this can bring to a corporation.]]> 2017-10-12 00:36:54 UTC https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196250751 avariley78 https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196251687

This is a great picture to show a Sustainable Organization. There are the three areas to be aware of when trying to make your company sustainable and they are economy, environment and society. It's really important that an organization be aware of all three areas to protect the future generations to come.]]> 2017-10-12 00:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196251687 avariley78 https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196254589

I had to include this cartoon here because for me this is what I think about corporations that keep getting bigger. The human interaction is almost extinct now and as corporations they are always looking for the bottom line, why hire when an automated voice can do it cheaper.]]> 2017-10-12 01:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196254589 avariley78 https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196256046 This was great article that expanded what I learned in Modern Management and it also gave a little bit of a different perspective.]]> 2017-10-12 01:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196256046 avariley78 https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196256892 This show the different types of Organizational Models and some key factors for each one.

I chose the article below since it goes into further detail about the different combinations that each manager can portray.  Having both effectiveness and efficiency are essential and I plan on having a balance of both for when I am in a managerial position.

The above picture shows how careers are viewed as evolving through a series of stages.  This was fascinating to learn about since when you look at each stage you can personally say that this is correct.  This is great to keep in mind when you are at a top position to gauge what stage each employee is at.]]> 2017-10-13 14:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196818889 avariley78 https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196824357

I found this to be true when you are at work when your manager comes to you and wants a long detailed summary and it can be done in mere minutes. If you are not in a management position you don't always know that there is a process that has to be done for most things and this cartoon shows one of the management functions of planning. ]]> 2017-10-13 14:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196824357 avariley78 https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196830566

Organization structure is very important since it refers to the designated relationships of a management system.  Not having this structure will form chaos within the company since there is no guide on the chain of command.]]> 2017-10-13 14:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196830566 avariley78 https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196843154 Delegation is the process of assigning job activities within an organization.  The article below brings up a valid point that it is easy to delegate but it really should be summed up as clarity.  I chose this since delegation is important but to clarify what you are delegating is a better way to put it.  In my personal work experience I have faced this when my manager gave me an assignment but did not clarify it made my work a lot harder to accomplish.

This picture is a great example of organizational socialization.  As employers recruit it is their responsibility to appropriately integrate new employees into the organization's culture.  It is always easier on a new employee when they can feel welcome and become a productive team member.  Think back when you were hired, did you feel welcome by everyone?]]> 2017-10-13 15:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196847627 avariley78 https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196852177 The below image shows an example of a line structure for one type of authority within an organization.  I chose this model since it is easy to see the different segments for each type of employee.  In my office they have put up a model like this one, does your work provide this or something similar?

There are advantages and disadvantages to group decision making and you can see some examples in the chart above.  I chose this image since it can easily be used to determine if a group decision or an individual manager's decision should be used.  ]]> 2017-10-13 16:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196878337 avariley78 https://padlet.com/avariley78/MAN2021Lord/wish/196879311

This cartoon image is referring when an organization is making a SWOT analysis.  SWOT is an acronym for a firm's Strengths and Weakness and its environment Opportunities and Threats.

A personality test is one of the four testing that is used. A personality test is used to determine emotional maturity, subjectivity, honesty, and objectivity. I chose this on the basis of that is what my husband might say and it just brought a light humor to an important thing that an organization needs to do for hiring. For myself using the four testing methods will be after I earn my degree since I want to specialize in Human Resources.
