Dholakia, Bagozzi, and Pearo (2004) recognized some of the main features of virtual communities. The human desire for connection has created online or virtual communities. There is a main difference from physical communities in that in this type people meet face to face and then they maintain a relationship while in online communities people-users form first online

The world today is becoming a smaller and at the same time, connected village, mainly because of the Internet. Thousands of companies, organizations, and agencies, in addition to millions of people all over the world, can contact each other and to communicate through the computer and the Internet.

“…When people get close together, they get more and more savage, impatient with each together….The global village is a place of very arduous interfaces and very abrasive situations.”(McLuhan, 1977 Interview) A significant part of the appeal of revolutions in communications technology is the attending belief they will bring together people who are separated by physical distance. During a 1977 interview on TV Ontario’s The Education of Mike McManus, the host asked McLuhan: “Way back in the early fifties, you predicted that the world was becoming a global village. We’d have global consciousness. And I’m wondering now, do you think its happening?” McManus pushes McLuhan to clarify his points. Which is when McLuhan states, “…Tribal people, one of their main kinds of sport is butchering each other.”“Global Village” is a term that characterizes the new world of the electronic age. Many perceive the “Global Village” as a positive leap into the future on an international scale. Of course this concept of the global village has brought upon several positive changes in our world including one of the biggest forms of change, unity. It is quite a miracle to be able to remove distance through electronic networks, and be able to create personal linkages between anyone in the world.

He defined global village as a small village where electronic media made it possible, and how the information flows from parts of the world at the same time (Mcluhan, 1964).

According to Brech, E.F.L. (1965), Organisation – the Framework of Management (2nd edition) Longman, described organisation as ‘the framework of the management process’.

Henry Mintzberg, a world renowned professor at the prestigious McGill University once stated, "Management is, above all, a practice where art, science, and craft meet." There are many ways one defines management. Throughout the last 5 weeks I got to grasp some of the key concepts one needs to acquire to become effective in management. I was able to gain the knowledge for these main ideas through the small group projects, the in/online class discussions, and the analyzed paper we 've completed thus far. Overall, BUS 250 has demonstrated the importance of teamwork, leadership, organization/planning, personality traits, social responsibility, decision making, ethics, along with various other key concepts I will share with you.

Management research can be describe as a systematic form that is seeks to answer a given question in the field of management (Mennen, 2010). It involves conducting a search systematically with the view of developing viable solutions for problems encountered in business and management. (Saunders, Lewis & Thornhill, 2012). The paper expands on the concept of management research. It gives detailed examples to explain the different terms encountered in the field of management research.

The virtual world is a great way for people to share their thoughts and opinions with other like-minded individuals. Although it is a fact that socialization is an important part of our mental health, using the web as our sole means of social interaction is detrimental to our physical health. Yet a huge portion of our global society has been spending an increasing amount of time living within a virtual reality. This phenomenon is best explained by Jane McGonigal, director of Games Research and Development at Institute for the Future, who reveals that people are beginning to realize that virtual simulations can be used “to distract themselves from their hunger: a hunger for more satisfying work, for a stronger sense of community, and for a more engaging and meaningful life” (226). Even

Controlling is to make sure that the organization is moving towards its mission and objectives.

According to “Abraham Maslow” the behaviour of an individual at a particular moment is usually determined by his strongest need. Needs have a certain priority or hierarchy. As the more basic needs are satisfied an individual seeks to satisfy the higher needs. If his basic needs are not met, efforts to satisfy the higher needs should be postponed. Once a need is satisfied it loses its capacity to induce the man to work. Only unsatisfied
