Structuring a Successful Composition Course Thinking about how I would structure my classroom for a composition course creates a dilemma for me. I had a great experience in my high school composition courses. I really responded to how it was taught and made a personal connection to the work I was doing. Originally, I wanted to model my classroom after the one I had loved so much. The readings I have done concerning postmodern techniques being used in a composition course have also seemed very appealing to me, but present a different classroom experience. James Berlin claims "in teaching writing we are tacitly teaching a version of reality and the student's place and mode of operation in it" (235). Without dealing with the forces students are contending with I would be indoctrinating...show more content... Grading these students on grammar forces these students into remedial classes and discourages them even more than they already were, possibly to the point of leaving school. The final assignment Sosnoski would assign in his class would be one in which the issues dealt with in the first assignment about oppression would deal with "larger geopolitical conditions" (215). He claims that this would allow students to make connections between their own oppression and the oppression of others, rather than seeing different people and their problems as separate from their own and viewing them as "the Other". This seems as though it would be productive because it would come at the end of the semester, would still concern the students concerns and oppressions, but connect it to a larger context and help the student figure out his or her place in the scheme of things. It could also help the students to realize that they are part of a system that affects everyone and not just one person as an individual. Many people blame lower class minority people for being in that position. These people must be lazy and stupid, otherwise they would move out of the ghetto and get a good job; this is the attitude that an assignment such as this one would try to address. If students could see that the educational systems are not equipped to deal with difference and that the dominant ideologies in this ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...

Division of labor is a part of differentiation, which divides jobs into smaller tasks and when an employee performs a specific task, it is known as specialization. In some cases, companies divide organizational functions into divisional structure, which contain all the necessary resources required to function. For example, a software company might have a division for home software and a division for business software both providing development and support. Microsoft is the largest software company in the world that offers services for home and business. The company also provides entertainment through video games for Xbox and music for Zune. In the case of Microsoft (2009) there are many different positions within the company from Business Services & Administration to Software Engineering: User Experience and has locations throughout the world. Since Microsoft's main function is to develop software, it would stand to reason that the largest department within the company pertains to information technology with many specialized departments from development to support. Microsoft has many divisions within the company that include home software and business software and provide development and support. The function of the human resources department is to organize the employees based on their qualifications. The finance department's function is the flow of cash from accounts receivable to payroll.

As indicated by Blazes and Stalker, a natural association is one that is especially changeable and has the capacity adjust well to changes. Its structure is special as having little employment activity, few layers of administration, decentralized choice making and very little direct supervision.

Mg/561 Organizational Structure Date: January 18, 2013 To: MG 561 Class From: Jessica Rushing Subject: "Organizational Structure" Introduction: Organizational structure provides the framework of an organization determining how roles and responsibilities are delegated throughout the different levels of the organization. It has been defined by some as the looking glass through which coworkers see their organization and its surrounding environment while others have described structure as the backbone of the organization.

Importance of Organizational...show more content... For organizations which produce standardized goods and services, a functional service is beneficial. Within this structure, employees perform very specialized tasks (Naoum, 2001). For example, an engineering department would be staffed with only software engineers. Divisional structures, also known as product structures, groups each function into a division. Automobile industries typically use this divisional structure. Within this industry, divisions may include: SUVs, subcompact cars, and sedans. Although not discussed in detail in this memo, other organizational structures include: organizational circle, team, network, lattice, and virtual ("Organizational Structure", 2013). Factors influencing the choice of Organizational Structure The following factors can affect the type of structure which an organization may use: strategy, characteristics, management, operation, and environment. Strategy is the most important factor influencing type of structure. According to Phillips and Gulley in their book Organizational Behavior: Tools for Success, higher performance will be achieved if structure and strategy are
directly related). Organizational characteristics include the age and size of the organization. If the organization is small, there is less need for formal structure as communication ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...
Every company has its own organization structure. Organizational structure can be described as the systematical process of delegating power and authority among the employers. Besides, organizational structure also involves in how a business is organized to achieve their specific goals. Organization structure can be defined as the pattern of relationship among positions in the organization and members of the organization. Structure provides the framework for organizational activities and the management. Organization structure can be described as a framework that delegates responsibilities, working roles and relationship, and channel of communication. Organization structure is a framework which discusses the needs of a project to be successful in organizing. This framework is established at the outset and must be well understood by all concern otherwise it will be impossible to make important decision makings. Too many projects have set out with no clear idea of who the customer is and who is empowered to take these important decisions, and a project which starts in this way is bound to encounter severe difficulties along the way even if it does not end in total disaster. 1.1 IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE Organization chart contains of functions, responsibilities, authorities, relationships, and communications of individuals of employees and management within each department.

The importance of structure in an organisation is imperative; structure enables different individuals to know their position, their role and who is in charge. Organisations are structured in different ways depending possibly on their size, culture, history and activity. Hierarchical structures can become too tall, with a long chain of command or the different departments in the organisation can expand quickly causing the leader's span of control to become to large, a span of control is the amount of persons the leader controls, in a situation where the span of control is too large the leader will find it difficult to communicate with team members individually which may be detrimental.

Theory & Dev February 25, 2014 Schering–Plough Global Strategy and Structure The problems that Schering–Plough experienced with it global strategy and structure is that it took a multidomestic strategy that was over decentralized to the point that each of the heads of a international region had assumed total control of their operations (Jones, 2013, p.237). This left management at all levels within the corporate headquarters uniformed about the performance of each region.

The global strategy has allowed for a centralized decision–making with more control over functional activities. CEO has also implemented a mechanistic structure approach that has each of the international division report directly to him or a top–management team member (Jones, 2013, p238). This offers adequate control and coordination and rapid response to unsatisfactory performance at an international division. The new global structure has worked so well that the corporation has expanded its range of products in each international division, that sales and profits increased so much that by 2010 it becomes part of Merck a major competitor in the pharmaceutical business. The changes with the organizational strategy and culture play a major part in ever organization. Although not to the extreme of Schering–Plough the organization that I am employed has seen a lack in new strategy and culture change. This is due in part to the consistent rotation of the top–management that must rotate to other positions every three years. This coupled with the age of the civilian workforce does not allow for the successful transfer of organizational knowledge and culture. Allowing for the work force to revert back to doing things the easy way as the organization continues to function but not effectively just enough to get by.

Structures of Proteins Essay Proteins are polymeric chains that are built from monomers called amino acids. All structural and functional properties of proteins derive from the chemical properties of the polypeptide chain. There are four levels of protein structural organization: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. Primary structure is defined as the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. The secondary structure refers to certain regular geometric figures of the chain. Tertiary structure results from long–range contacts within the chain. The quaternary structure is the organization of protein subunits, or two or more independent polypeptide chains. The primary structure of a protein is simply the sequence of amino acids. The structure or...show more content... There may also be sections where the secondary structure is neither helix nor sheet. Then the structure is called a random structure, indicating that it folds in random directions. The amino acids in an alpha helix are arranged in a right–handed helical structure resembling a spring. The alpha helix is the most common form of regular secondary structure in proteins. The beta–sheet is the second form of regular secondary structure in proteins consisting of beta strands connected laterally by three or more hydrogen bonds, forming a generally twisted, pleated sheet. The beta–sheet is sometimes called the beta pleated sheet since sequential neighboring atoms are alternately above and below the plane of the sheet giving a pleated appearance. Turns are the third of the three "classical" secondary structures that serve to reverse the direction of the polypeptide chain. They are located primarily on the protein surface and accordingly contain polar and charged residues. However, they are not very common in discussions of protein structure today. The tertiary structure of a protein molecule, or of a subunit of a protein molecule, is the arrangement of all its atoms in space, without regard to its relationship with neighboring molecules or subunits. Tertiary structure is simply the grouping of different separate secondary structures, such as multiple helices or multiple sheets or a combination of helices and sheets. The final structure of the protein is the quaternary ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...
The Structure Of A Building Introduction In several aspects, the structure of a building is vulnerable to failure during the construction phase. Since buildings are made by humans, using their knowledge, failures are always probable to happen. These failures may be caused by a single error or a combination of errors. However, the probability of failure should be predicted and solved by an Engineer of Record during the design of this building. Any fail during the construction phase may not involve a construction error. It may be the product of an error made during design. As engineers, they are responsible to observe the construction as a complete unit, with all the elements interacting to resist the loads. Failing to consider a load or combination of loads, connection details and calculation errors are the main cause of accidents, according to Kenneth (1987). Besides loading, the engineer of record is also responsible for developing and supervising the construction sequence. Moreover, according to the code of ethics of ASCE (2010), all engineers need to recognize their responsibility with the general public, and make their judgments and decisions about structures, machines and products thinking in their client and target public with the view to avoid collapses during the construction. Research studies have concluded that the design aspect of projects has contributed to increase accidents in the construction. Studies also have proved that besides any calculation, responsible considerations in the ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...

Choosing Business Structure Essay example Starting a business can seem like a daunting task, when really there is a systematic approach that an entrepreneur can take to setting up a business. There are many factors to consider when setting up a business structure; these factors include start up cost, operating costs, liability, and taxation. A business owner will also want to look at whether or not they may want to expand in the future, which will also play a factor in what type of business they should set up. This paper will look at the advantages and disadvantages of sole–proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies, and corporations. As well as look at what courts can do if a business operates outside the scope of accepted business practice. There is no "one size...show more content... A sole–proprietor also has unlimited liability, which means the business and the owner are not separate entities. (Ref. 1, pg. 1) Therefore they are responsible for any damages incurred by the company and any personal property may be taken to pay for damages. Because a sole– proprietorship is not separate from the owner the income from a sole–proprietorship is taxed as personal income, or "pass through" income. The business owner has to pay FICA taxes of 7.65% on all income up to $94,200; they also have to pay an additional employer FICA tax of 7.65% on that same first $94, 200 which brings the total to 15.3%. The owner also pays a FICA tax of 1.45% on all income of $94,201 and above because all income is treated as personal income for the business owner. These taxes are in addition to state and federal income taxes, which also tend to cater more to other types of business structure, particularly corporations. Partnerships are the least used type of business making up about 11% of US business and account for only 8% of the profits. (Ref. 3, pg.76) Partnerships are very similar to sole–proprietorships in the form of structure. Each partner takes their assets and pools them together to form a company. The advantage of a partnership is a greater pool of assets or capital, and shared risk among the partners. In a partnership the owners can all provide operating capital, as well as apply for loans which give them more ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...

Machine bureaucracy type structures are "performance organizations" not "problem solving" ones. Professional Bureaucracy The professional bureaucracy relies for coordination on: * the standardization of skills and its associated parameters such as design, training and indoctrination. * In professional bureaucracy type structures duly trained and indoctrinated specialists –professionals– are hired for the operating core, and then considerable control over their work is given to them. * Most of the necessary coordination between the operating professionals is handled by the standardization of skills and knowledge – especially by what they have learned to expect from their colleagues. Whereas the machine bureaucracy generates its own standards the standards of the professional bureaucracy originate largely outside its own structure (especially in the self–governing association its operators join with their colleagues from other professional bureaucracies). The professional bureaucracy emphasizes authority of a professional nature or in other words "the power of expertise".

Now, A partnership is formed between two individuals and the agreement should be in a contract form or writing. The next two types that are discussed are general partnership and limited partnership. Silverbrand (2008) stated Partnerships are the primary form of business which larger companies begin (p.167). Partnerships are simple to start, no required registration only within certain states, and can end quite rapidly. A general partnership is where each partner is equal to liability or any litigation consequences. In a limited partnership, the liability is limited equal to the amount the limited partners at first invested. In fact, sometimes limited partners do not make business decisions but, own stock within the company. Basically, an LLC, with its hybrid nature, "provides owners...with the limited liability protection of a corporation, but without the potential for double taxation" (Jordan & Clark, 1197). The income created from a general partnership of a business is taxed as income earned by the person working for a different company. When starting a partnership it is best to discuss the amount of liability that each partner is responsible for. Which, will help when looking at the type of litigation described.

Agency is limited by the structure due to cultural barriers and inequalities within the structure.

As Habermas puts it "the relationship of the individual to the state has increasingly become one of client or consumer services, rather than citizen" (Roberts & Crossley, 5). Due to the limited agency (citizens' roles) within this sphere, we can conclude that the ongoing competition and negotiation for a role in the public sphere ends with strictly dominant views. In such a monarchy, ordinary citizens such as lower classes and women have limited input when debating politics among other things. The ideal of a place where all opinions are counted, so to speak, fails to provide a sense of individual identity. This is due to the fact that it is pre–destined by the state itself and then turned back to the people– telling them what they will think about particular issues; shown especially through the controlling lens of the media. According to Marx, those who have power over society exert their control as a result of economic power and therefore determine the dominant ideologies within the superstructure model. Being the greater economical and cultural barrier, the structure provides the social world with norms, rules and beliefs pertaining to age, gender, class and one's cultural identity. Within that structure it becomes apparent that inequalities restrict your agency in terms of nationality, geographical location, class etc. In agreement with Marx, the dominant views are generally the views of the superior class; the elite.

A useful example is retail banking or the work of building societies. Here the operations have to be standardized, not only in all branches of the same bank but also between competing banks, so that customers find the system easy to deal with. The work of bank clerks and, in a different way, bank managers requires knowledge, skill and accuracy, but it must be carried out strictly in accordance with the rules and there is little scope for individuality apart from one's manner in talking with customers and manual dexterity in counting banknote.

Their predictability provides a secure environment for the employee and a clear line of safe career progression.

The Structure And Design Of Organizations The structure and design of organizations have drastically changed over the last twenty–five years. Organizations develop new goals at the beginning of the year or after the completion of previous goals, and heavily depend on planning to help achieve these goals. Planning is an integral part of organizational success, as upper management receives substantial information on various needs such as risk uncertainty, available resources, employee development, and unforeseen changes in technology (Daft, 2013). Most importantly, successful planning allows management to make effective decisions when unforeseen events arise within the organization.

Organizations must not overlook the environmental factors that are outside of the organization, as they can leave a detrimental imprint on the organization and their attempts to achieve various goals. According to the textbook, "Domain defines the organization's niche and defines those external sectors with which the organization will interact to accomplish its goals" (Daft, 2013, p. 142). Some of the external sectors include human resources, technology, economic conditions, and financial resources (Daft, 2013). Changing the organization's domain is a feasible strategy for coping with a threatening environment because it allows the organization to remain competitive when the market changes. Organizations are constantly shifting and doing so in a rapid manner, which makes it even more likely for organizations to become unstable if action is not taken when threating environmental factors occur. Although the process may be difficult, organizations should look into changing the domain to keep up with the speed and volatility of the market. Mergers and acquisitions are two plausible options for organizations to partake in to reduce uncertainty (Daft, 2013). An organization can either purchase an organization to further their operations or merge with another organization to form a more powerful and dynamic organization.
