Advantages and Disadvantages of the Rise in Corporations
Advantages and Disadvantages of the Rise in Corporations Today we know that corporations, for good or bad, are major influences on our lives. They have essentially become a part of our lifestyle. These multi-national companies based around the world started through the industrial revolution, which was a period in history when people found new and efficient ways of producing goods, manufacturing services and creating new methods of transportation. This lead to exploitation of these corporations such as: child labour, low wages, poor working conditions and long working hours. Nike and Gap have been criticized for their workers in their worldwide sweatshops. The Global Exchange found workers hunch over sewing machines, kept awake by forced intoxicating drugs on 72-hour shifts. Child laborers worked in sub-standard health conditions, receiving pay far below minimum wage in factories that distribute to mainstream clothing retailers. Poor and desperate people work behind the closed doors of sweatshops where verbal, physical and sexual abuse is common. As a result of this, trade unions formed. Their purpose was to protect and improve people's pay and conditions of employment. They also campaigned for laws and policies which will benefit working people. Trade unions exist because an individual worker has very little power to influence decisions that are made about his or
Essay on technological, environmental and social change
Essay on technological, environmental and social change The following essay is based upon the strong link between changes which occur in the field of technology, environment and social changes an will show the strong link between these fields, many people can think of changes which have occurred socially which has had a direct effect on others, for example the increased use of cars is a social change but the environment suffers because more carbon emissions and other harmful emissions take place but the new technological changes which take place are that the law requires a catalytic converter to be fitted to all new vehicles. There are many more changes which can be explained via the terms of social, environmental and social changes all around the world. The new law requires all new cars to be fitted with a catalytic converter to prevent oxides of sulphur or nitrogen from entering the atmosphere, so this technological change means that a social change of implementation is taking place which has a direct effect on the environment by reducing harmful emissions, so even though there is a increased number of vehicles on the road steps have been taken to reduce the damage being done to the environment, whether these steps taken are beneficial or not shall be proven in the near future. A second point which can be made is the new flat screen televisions claim to use less energy
Skateboarding is a popular sport throughout the United Kingdom.
Skateboarding is a popular sport throughout the United Kingdom. It is taken up by both young and old people to pass time, stay out of trouble and in some cases even as a job. Very often there is a very negative stereotype going around about skateboarders, the stereotype is that skateboarders are bad people. That criticism is mostly aimed at the younger skateboarders. There are a countless older people think that younger skaters are out to cause trouble. In some places skateboarding is illegal and you can get fined or even arrested. On the other hand it can be very noisy, annoying and sometimes slightly destructive. Fair enough some skateboarders do cause trouble, most of the time the trouble is caused by boredom. They get bored because they do not actually have a place to skate that they do not get kicked off of. The amount of local skate parks is insufficient. The amount of skate parks around the Bournemouth area few and that is probably the main reason for the stereotype that is going around. The majority of the time the skateboarders get bored and they cause trouble. After that it is not long until the word goes round that skateboarders are bad people. Another reason for that stereotype is that some skateboarders are skating somewhere and someone will either stay inside because they are scared (this is mostly elderly people), they would phone the police
ANLISIS CAP. 3: SIETE PRCTICAS DE XITO EN LAS ORGANIZACIONES
ANÁLISIS CAP. 3: "SIETE PRÁCTICAS DE ÉXITO EN LAS ORGANIZACIONES" Los estudios llevados por Pfeffer apoyándose en una combinación de siete prácticas RH ponen en relieve el impacto de éstas en el éxito de la organización. La metodología consiste en evaluar sobre una escala determinada la intensidad de aplicación del conjunto de estas prácticas en una organización. Si estos estudios tienen el mérito de probar la existencia de un vínculo entre la aplicación de algunas prácticas RH y el éxito de la organización, conviene, sin embargo, adoptar una mirada crítica sobre estos trabajos. Según Beaupré (La Mesure en GRH: Etat des lieux, 2004) por ejemplo, "uno debe tener una mirada crítica y una reflexión metodológica sobre un gran número de publicaciones sobre este tema. [...]. Por el contrario muchos estudios recientes tienen lagunas metodológicas que invalidan los resultados."1 Así, dos críticas principales pueden formularse: La primera destaca la dificultad de poder hacer la distinción entre las diversas fuentes de resultado. Es difícil definir claramente el impacto específico de las prácticas RH entre los múltiples factores, internos (asignación de los recursos, juego de poder...) o externos (entorno económico, tecnológico...), que influyen sobre el resultado de la organización.
