Background Mobile industry IBM’s Simon Personal Communicator, introduced in 1994, despite not being the first smartphone, was the first device to feature a phone with additional capabilities to act like a personal digital assistant, which would pave the way for future development of the mobile phone industry. It has come a long way from the first Blackberry 5810 in 1999, to

In the “Studies of Christian Ethics Syllabus”, Tardo defines ethics as a set of personal values and principles that separate what is viewed as right or wrong and that guide every person on what should be done. Discussing it further, he stated that ethics is very closely associated with morality to

In this kind of work the attention is refocused on praxis, on context-dependent judgement, on situational ethics and on reflexivity which enables social actors to see how power actually functions in context.

most of their truths. The events shown in the movie can be scientifically explained using concepts of organisational behaviour. Although some of these concepts did not even exist by the time the movie was made, the movie still is an excellent case to study and illustrate them. The reason for this is the isolation of the movie’s characters. All events in the movie are triggered by the characters only. There are no external influences nor is there the possibility for the characters to leave the scene
many similar types of terms in accounting such as management accounting and financial accounting, management control and financial control and strategic management accounting we will explore the case study of TNT and how the company has been able to implement these important concepts practically in this case. Firstly, we will see how the management and financial controls were used in order to achieve what Taylor say’s is Critical Mass. We will also see how efficient and effective Taylor was in utilizing
work, economists did not respond to Von Neumann’s and Morgenstern’s hopes (cf. Dimand and Dimand, this volume: Chapter 1). Indeed, over the course of twenty years, game theory would remain above all, with only a few exceptions, either an object of study for a small group of mathematicians, or a research tool for military strategists. The first category, working with Kuhn and Tucker at Princeton, would refine, deepen, and generalize the formal properties of the theory left behind by Von Neumann. The

Professor Stephen Ackroyd, Lancaster University, UK This new textbook usefully situates organization theory within the scholarly debates on modernism and postmodernism, and provides an advanced introduction to the heterogeneous study of organizations, including chapters on phenomenology, critical theory and psychoanalysis
them. This chapter provides a brief discussion of the primary and the secondary methods to be considered in designing a qualitative study. This discussion does not replace the many excellent, detailed references on data collection (we refer to several at the end of this chapter). Its purpose is to guide the proposal writer in stipulating the methods of choice for his study and in describing for the reader how the data will inform his research questions. How the researcher plans to use these methods,
