With the advent of new technology, the industry dynamics are becoming more and more complex. Jobs have become specialized and multi-faceted. In such a scenario, human resource management has become the key to success for an organization. Effective and efficient leadership is required for this purpose. What is leadership, then? "Leadership is the accomplishment of a goal through the direction of human assistants. The man who successfully marshals his human collaborators to achieve particular ends is a leader. A great leader is one who can do so day after day, and year after year, in a wide variety of circumstances."
Business Case Sudy Tulip House
Organisational Development: Evaluative Report Introduction This report focuses on an organisation called Tulip House1 (TH). It evaluates why this organisation is deemed a success and a process it failed at. The examples are located in Organisational Development (OD) theory. It concludes that TH's development is closely correlated to structural factors particular to voluntary sector organisations (VSO's). Key characteristics TH is currently the leading provider of voluntary sector mental health services - within its constitutional boundaries of a London Borough. Affiliated to a national organisation it abides by their standards and guidelines but is itself an independently managed organisation. Being neither public nor private TH is a 'third sector' organisation. Other related terms include: not-for-profits, nonprofits or, more typically in the UK, the voluntary sector. Definitions are problematic as organisations within this sector vary considerably2 (Anheier, 2000; Cunningham, 1999; Febbraro et al, 1999; and Parry et al. 2005). For this report TH is characterised using Salamon and Anheier's (1997) frequently cited definition of the nonprofits. TH is, * Organised, i.e. possessing some institutional reality, * Private, i.e., institutionally separate from government, * Non-profit-distributing, i.e., not returning any profits generated to owners or equivalents, *

Tata Motors hypothetical entry on UK market
Tata Motors hypothetical entry on UK market The market of Tata's entry Despite the global tendency for the significant fall of car sales there are certain car segments which experience dynamic growth.

These favourable factors were the status of India as the favourable economic agent, UK Car market dynamics and potential, language similarity. The other countries which were considered as potentially attractive were: the USA - the largest market size in the world, Russia - emerging market with significant sales potential.
