After reading the Dinosaur article I was able to gain a lot of information from it and relate it to many different situations in the business world today. Though this article was written over twenty years ago, it still has so much relevance in current businesses and business practices. This metaphorical story about two dinosaur brothers stuck in a world where a disaster has ruined their society and life, is very similar to the world that I live in. Moreover, many social issues, economic issues, and natural disasters can cause a shift in the world that demand for a change in business habits. As the world changes, demand and supply for certain products will change as well. In this article, one brother took a traditional approach to life and the other brother took a more innovative approach to life and the situations that he faced. They can be related to business owners that take a traditional or innovative approach when running their business. When running a business in a more traditional fashion, there are certain pros and cons about it, but I personally feel like there are a lot more cons about this method than pros. If the business owner is not cautious about the demands of their customers and the necessity to recreate their managerial style the business will easily fail. On the other hand, when running a business in a more innovative style, there are more successful business opportunities available for the company, and they will be more likely to survive in the changing

When you think of dinosaurs do you think about your own impending doom? Would you expect a poem about how society will fall apart? This poem may have pessimistic descriptions of the world, but it delivers a powerful message. Poet, Charles Bukowski, uses several literary devices in his poem, “Dinosauria, We”, to describe the end of the human race caused by the current living conditions that we are born into without a choice. It is inevitable that we will go extinct just as the dinosaurs before us, however the sun will go on and with it a new chapter. He uses the literary devices of anaphora, extended metaphor, and epistrophe to make his poem reverberate in the reader's mind. Bukowski’s use of poetic devices communicates the theme that we are born into this world without a choice, a world of corruption and destruction that will
Dunne speaks of economic challenges that threaten the existence of a business; challenges that require management to question the models that made it successful in the past and states that businesses cling to their models, particularly at the worst of times. YP is clinging to few models of the past, and is rapidly reinventing itself, reaching new heights
Because dinosaurs are animals that lived millions of years ago, we are entirely dependent on the fossils that they have left behind for any understanding that we hope to gain. As any paleontologist will tell you, fossil hunting is difficult. There are no certainties, no guarantees. A certain amount of luck is as valuable as any scientific knowledge.
During these times of change business may have to change its orgainsation, operation and its nature to deal with the challenges of each stage in the business life cycle. For business to be successful they must constantly develop and change strategies to deal with the growth of the business or the life of the business may be cut short.
The biggest mystery surrounding the dinosaur is how did they die? For over 130 million years dinosaurs ruled the earth. Then 65 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous period, they died out.
At a time, scientists believed all dinosaurs were cold-blooded. However, with a recent discovery of a dinosaur found with a fossilized heart in the northern part of South Dakota in 1993, many paleontologists are starting to think that there were some dinosaurs that were warm blooded.
There are a lot of movies made about our world and what our world could be. They show
Traditional approach is a style of management that aim to support organizations operate successfully their processes. This approach started in 1900 's with the early days of scientific business and organizational research. Examples of this ideas were developed by scientific such as Taylor, Weber, Ford and Fayol, who promoted traditional management style as the best way for a job to be done. The main principle of this thinking are following described.
'Out of a thousand unconventional ideas, probably only a hundred are worth experimenting with. And out of those one hundred, only 10 have the power to transform a business(Hryniuk, 2001).' Literally, 'revolutions seldom succeed(D'Aveni, 2002)'. The whole article equips us with the thought that revolution is essential and vital for companies. Revolution could be profitable. However, chasing revolution leads incumbents to another convention which exactly is to seek revolution itself. Sometimes and usually, the first brave man to break with conventions challenges
The author is Michael Crichton, and the book is The Lost World. Many people have read this book, along with its predecessor, Jurassic Park, and many people have been enthralled with the thought of living dinosaurs in the 20th century. “What if the dinosaurs did not become extinct? What if they still exist?” (The Lost World takes off a couple years after the first book. A separate island is discovered, an island where the dinosaurs were actually created. There are two different research groups sent to the island. One to observe the dinosaurs in the wild and the other to bring them back for research purposes. The fighting starts from there. What many people don’t know, is that these books, along with countless other
Excellent businesses are the direct result of excellent management, and Fortune magazine highly ranks them as one of the “Best Companies to Work For” (Schermerhorn & Bachrach. 2015. p. 456). His leadership style is a balance of both the Human Relations and Democratic styles. He shows the Human Relations style through the support of his employees over the tasks of work by his philosophy of building the culture and all other aspects of the business will follow suit (Schermerhorn & Bachrach. 2015. p. 456). The only aspect of his leadership that could come under criticism would be where the line between work and fun is drawn. With the company’s focus on quality over quantity, there might be financial benefits that are not being realized. The leadership approach that he takes is definitely situational and would not achieve the same result if it were implemented in such fields as health care or the legal profession.
