.... Campbell (1991) , a prominent writer on vision and mission, believes that both the culture and the strategy of a firm come together side by side to build an overall definition of mission for a firm. The paper will be based around Campbell’s perception and whether either culture or strategy has a greater part to play in an organisation’s mission. Culture and strategy will be examined in a context relevant to the title question. Hofstede (1993) defines culture as ‘the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes one group or category of people from another’. Hofstedes research of different organisations and countries all .....

.... much simpler in today's society. If we need water, then we don't have to go out to the well, we just turn on the tap in our kitchen. When we want to send a message, fax and e-mail are much faster than "pony express". No longer do we have to get logs for the fire, today we just turn up the thermostat. However, these luxuries in life can lead to a lazy and unhealthy lifestyle. To that end, improvements in medical and physical health have been made. Diseases which were once considered deadly and hopeless, are now considered minor annoyances. Vaccines and other treatments have led to the demise of many "killer" diseases. We now know more about nutrition than .....

.... During a Bar Mitzvah, the boy is called up to the Torah to recite a blessing over the weekly reading. In today's culture, it is expected for the boy to also recite the haftorah portion (weekly text from the prophets), and sometimes to lead part of the service. He is expected to make a speech that starts with the phrase, "Today I am a man." Although a Jewish boy automatically becomes a Bar Mitzvah at the age of 13, it has recently become popular to have a ceremony. The ceremony does not fulfill any commandment. In recent times, there is normally a reception that follows the ceremony. The Reform Movement tried to do away with the Bar Mitzvah because they di .....

.... The maxim "when answering a widow's inquiry as to the nature and duration of her late husbands death, one should always tell the truth regarding the nature of her late husband's death" (M1) passes both parts of the Universal Law Formation of the Categorical Imperative. Consequently, according to Kant, M1 is a moral action. The initial stage of the Universal Law Formation of the Categorical Imperative requires that a maxim be universally applicable to all rational beings. M1 succeeds in passing the first stage. We can easily imagine a world in which paramedics always answer widows truthfully when queried. Therefore, this maxim is logical and everyone can .....

.... forces. If a wind blows, the flames change their direction and velocity and can engulf many other things. On the other hand, if there is no wind, the fire may burn itself to the ground and never reach its full potential. If rain begins, the fire is slowed and may even be stopped for good. Oxygen is necessary for a fire to flourish; without it a fire will whittle and die. Some objects allow fire to burn for years while others burn out very quickly or are not able to be burned at all. No two fires are alike, in what they do. Some roam free while others are confined to an area. A fire is beautiful to some, while to others it is dangerous and hellish. .....

.... a serious and important issue in the last 5-10 years or so. When I was in high school my girlfriends and I constantly obsessed about our weight, and about dieting. It became so serious that two friends of mine had to be hospitalized for damage that the disorder was doing to them, both physically and mentally. Anorexia Nervosa is primarily a psychological disorder, but is so serious that it damages the physical state and well being of the person, as well. Usually affecting young girls, Anorexia (in its short name) starts out as an innocent desire to lose a few pounds, and becomes serious when the individual's psychological state is not healed, and feelin .....

.... is ASE-certified in air-conditioning repair and service. You’ll be doing the environment a favor, too, since poorly maintained air conditioners can leak ozone-depleting chemicals. Cooling system — The greatest cause of summer breakdowns is overheating. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro. The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled as recommended. The level, condition and concentration of the coolant should be checked periodically. (A 50-50 mix of antifreeze and water usually is recommended.) Do-it-yourselfers, wait until the engine has cooled before removing the radiator cap. Do not dump old .....

.... leaders agree on budget reforms - but they are less drastic than originally envisaged. The EU budget compromise reached in Berlin is an intricate numbers game, hammered out in 20 hours of non-stop talks. The reforms are not as radical as many politicians had called for. Several countries fought hard to protect their share of EU money and, as all budget decisions have to be unanimous, they could have vetoed any deal going against them. In typical EU fashion, the compromise budget is mixture of give and take, but there are some clear winners and losers. As the sun rose over Berlin, a compromise was finally foundMost consumers living in the Europea .....
