Our class lecture on diversity was overall very informative and shared a lot of the values that I hold myself. The lecture went over the fundamental understanding of race, class, and gender as well as social interactions. Understanding differences in one another helps us all to recognize and appreciate the intercultural dynamics. Understanding that we have similar interests or beliefs can encourage cooperation and cohesion. Diversity can be defined as people coming together from different races,
Empirical Pattern The empirical pattern of knowing encompasses “the science of nursing,” (Creasia, 2011). This draws upon scientific ideas that have been established, and seeks to apply them to practice or refine them by discovering more. For instance, nursing theory is deeply seeded in the science of nursing.

With retirement of long-term staff members comes the need for new workers who can carry the torch. Part of succession planning is developing the leadership potential of prospective candidates. As important as succession planning is to the long-term wellbeing of an
It was this which caused the increase in productivity and which demonstrated that the workers could not be regarded as mere parts in the organizational machine. Thus was born the notion of the ‘Hawthorne Effect’, a staple part not just of organization theory but of social science as a whole. The other study I want to mention was that conducted in the bank wiring room. Here, a small group of male

Change management is a method for reducing and managing resistance to change when implementing process, technology or organizational change.
