34). The organization’s mission statement should “work through metaphors that help employees make appropriate decisions when faced with day-to-day situations, which sometimes can be novel or stressful” (Rothaermel, 2013, p. 34). More specifically, customer-oriented businesses should have a customer-oriented mission statement, while product-oriented businesses should have a product-oriented mission statement (Rothaermel, 2013). Product-oriented businesses should be wary, however, as customer-oriented mission statements allow for greater strategic flexibility (Rothaermel, 2013).

In “Social Order and Absolute Monarchy, written by Jean Domat, Domat argues that the absolute monarchy portrayed by King Louis XIV of France was created in the best interest of France. Domat’s audience in this document seems to be the middle class as well as the lower classes of France since Domat’s main goal of this paper is to justify the actions and amount of power held by the upper class and the king in an absolute monarchy.

Hierarchy and Authority (pg 17): In Europe, kings and princes owned vast tracts of land, men only saw high class and low class no in between. The man was the head of the house hold, his power was encouraging by the Christian Church.

Smith writes that “wherever there is great property, there is great inequality,” and this inequality, though ultimately necessary to advance beyond the “universal poverty” of primitive hunting societies, creates a potential for violence (766; 768). The poor outnumber the wealthy stock-owners and landlords, and so are “both driven by want, and prompted by envy” to invade their possessions (766). To preserve their property, these groups establish civil governments, for it is “only under the shelter of the civil magistrate that the owner of that valuable property … can sleep a single night in security” (767). This form of government “supposes a certain subordination” on the basis of personal qualifications, age, fortune, and birth; of these, however, “the authority of fortune … is much greater than that, either of age, or of personal qualities,” and superiority of birth is merely the reflection of “an ancient superiority of fortune” (767-9). Effectively, “civil government … is in reality instituted for the defense of the rich against the poor” (771). Civil government is created as a result of inequality of wealth, with its purpose as the security of wealth. Though accumulation of wealth does not automatically confer political power, political power is established for the original purpose of securing the interest of every stock-owner and landlord. As this type of civil

Leaders understand the goal and work with followers to make sure that the goal has been properly communicated to keep employees engaged and motivated. In my workplace, we have a close “family” type of atmosphere. We work together to accomplish our sales quota and customers enjoy the service that we provide. As a result, customers continue their business with our organization and enjoy being a part of the Cricket family. This type of service also creates loyalty with our customers to continue their service with our organization.

The social classes of the Elizabethan era were divided into three broad categories and subdivided into smaller specified groups. The broader categories became known as estates (“Elizabethan Era”). There was the first, second and third estate. The first estate consisted of clergy (“Social Order” 58). Although they were all Roman Catholic clergy these people were broken up into smaller sections. The smaller sections divided the ordained from the unordained (Social Status and Community”). The Ordained were known as seculars an example of someone who would fall under this division was the pope. The second estate, was of the nobility. The nobility included anyone who worked for or was a part of the royal family. Besides the church this estate held all the judicial and political power (“Social Order” 60). They were many subdivisions in this estate the main one was the monarch. It was composed of, kings, queens, dukes, counts, and different ranks of knights (Ferraro 44). The third and final estate was for the poor. Granted, not all

The ethos of the Roman nobility at the time of the second century BCE was driven by ambitious military and political careers. These where brought about by a rigorous set of ideals which were built upon Rome’s cultural foundations. “The four terms that ascribe such a rigorous set of ideals are gloria, nobilitas, virtus and auctoritas ”.

How might the divine right of kings have led to the widespread acceptance of the King James Bible? In your response provide a reason for whether or not the translation could have been accepted without it.

For the majority of American workers, the ultimate mission of their employer is to make a quality product, with the ultimate goal of making a profit. For my employer, the Department of Defense (DOD), the mission, “is to provide the military forces to deter war and to protect the security of our country” (About the Department of Defense, 2015). Having employees that understand how they contribute to the mission, vision, and goals of the DOD is taught from day one. With the ultimate responsibility of taking life, strong core values are also of high importance. Each component of the DOD create their own statements of how to complete their specific area of responsibility in the DOD mission. For the Air Force, each section all the way down to individual units, develop their own statements on how they fit into the overall mission. The following paragraphs will discuss the Technical Order Home Office’s, core values, mission, vision, goals, structure of the unit, and how the key leaders contribute to the overall success of the Air Force and the DOD.

Wealth served a major role between the classes and placement of citizens within them. The queen or the monarch was the richest and flaunted her wealth with items and luxuries such as jewelry and gold (“The Social Structure in Elizabethan England”). The

Security of the Political and Social Position of the Nobility in Early Modern Europe The nobility of early modern Europe were descended on the whole from the mounted knights of medieval armies who had been granted land along with social and political privileges and had subsequently formed a higher social class. Between 1500-1789 the status of the aristocracy came under threat both politically and socially. The rise of ‘absolutism’ within the monarchies of Europe led to the desire of governments to reduce noble power and bypass several of their privileges in order to increase state revenue and centralise governmental control. The growth of the middle classes and the destruction of the feudal system

The gradual deterioration of feudalism and the modernizing of intellectual thoughts not only endangered the nobles’ social security, but it changed their political influence on civilians as well. The residents of the towns did not wish for any of the local lords to interfere with the governing of their lives. Thus, the townspeople “Strove to get recognition for their own law, their own courts, their own judges and magistrates” (Colton, Kramer, & Palmer 32). This shift was the beginning of the want for personal administrative rights, though it was not yet for the benefit of the individual. Ultimately, “Each town was a collective entity” (Colton, Kramer, & Palmer 33). The local government decided on specific liberties and laws for their own

In some cases, when people have managed to scrabble their way to the top of an organization, they are wont to depart and leave their position of power and control even when they become less capable or qualified to do so. The research to date indicates that executives that keep "their eye on the prize" tend to outperform their counterparts that do not, but maladaptive strategies leading to decreased capacity can prevent even the most well-intentioned executives from achieving their goals. In this study, the researchers were primarily interested in determining how executive capacity affects interactions with others.

The first Act of Supremacy was introduced by Henry VIII in 1534 during his rule of England. Later, when Elizabeth I came to the throne, the second Act of Supremacy was introduced to bring back the reforms that Mary had abolished. Both of these acts have many similarities but also some fundamental differences that helped indicate the type of ruler each monarch would be. Before discussing the differences it is important to first understand how the Act of Supremacy came about.
