The Change Of A New Executive Board

A quick growing company, gaining well over a couple million subscribers, in the eyes of many Adelphia Communication Corporation seemed to be headed to lead the industry very soon. In what seems to be the early 2000s, this is for Americans, this company and the world things drastically changed due to unethical behavior from some of the company’s top leaders within the organization. What will be revealed in this case study below, many people would not believe that all this happen over the course of a short time and how far people will go to gain what they believe is “success” at any cost.

As an involved member of the Business and Finance Academy as well as DECA, I feel I would be a suitable choice for an Executive Board member. I believe that with my success with DECA and my previous experience with leadership in Girl Scouts that being a part of the Executive Board would not only benefit the group but also myself. I am excited to get more involved and anxious to start more community service and fundraising programs within both the Academy and DECA. Throughout these past two years I have grown more comfortable with the students and faculty involved in these two organizations and have learned from them. I have many ideas about community service since I have many connections through Girl Scouts and also have ideas for

With a company that has been around over a century the strategies it uses change an develop with the society. Since they had begun they have rapidly grown, within the first 30 years of their business

The governing boards role is very important when it comes to discussing what is happening within a healthcare organization and making sure things are been done to their ethical standards. The primary role of governing boards is to make sure that the mission statement includes things that are needed from the public and to make sure that those people hired for this company are able to uphold to the ethnical code that is given by the healthcare organization. When issues arise within the organization, it is left up to the governing board themselves and the CEO to see how it would be best to address the situation before jumping to any type of conclusion. The governing board has to make sure everyone in the facility is

The significance of organizational change is captured by Sloan (1967) when he indicated that market situations like the dynamic nature of the product and services coupled with the dynamic nature of the market itself can bring down a given business entity if the given entity is not ready for the culture change.

Today’s companies are challenged by frequent changes in market demands and consumers’ desires for new products and services. Companies which fail to adapt to these changing conditions often find themselves struggling to survive. This is the situation for the Texas Plant, as described in the case study by Pryor, Humphreys, and Taneja (2011). The Vice President, Human Resources Director, and Organizational Development Manager find themselves not only facing the struggles of transforming the Texas Plant, but also the difficulties of working together to achieve it. The following paper describes these difficulties and examines how the actions of the leaders impacted the change process. Recommendations to assist the plant’s leadership in moving forward will be offered.

In a subsequent section, Turner explains the vital role of big corporations and how it can be compared to the vital role of small corporations. These smaller corporations are the ones with the big ideas – such as Turner’s idea with the Atlanta Superstation or CNN – and when the small corporations are not allowed to thrive as they are overshadowed by the big corporations, then the emerging ideas cease to exist. Another factor that contributes to the lack of big/small corporation interaction are the rules set upon by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that sets rules to the amount of smaller business the big corporations can own. It goes back to the loss of the smaller, innovative corporations that are not allowed to thrive because they have no means to do so on their own – even if corporation owners have houses to mortgage, the financial implications are a lot more than what they were in Turner’s earlier times. It is through Turner’s times that we have a seen a major change in media as it became more commercial than about journalism, another threat for the smaller corporations, and another threat to

“Right now, it’s an industry dedicated to one thing. Profit.” This quote by author, Paddy Chayefsky, perfectly sums up the motives behind the movie “Network.” From hiring soothsayers to risking a man’s mental heath for the sake of a successful television program, the characters in “Network” have truly been blinded by fame and top ratings. This satire fiercely describes just how far a television network will go to achieve such accomplishments.

Change is an occurrence that happens to a person or a company that results them going into a different direction. This either helps them or impacts them negatively.

It will also contain what I went through an interview with my manager Mike Walter.

Comcast brushed away its main competitor by purchasing a greater share of Time Warner. The major failures of Kodak were majorly because it failed to embrace and market new technologies for fear of hurting and damaging the company’s lucrative business in the film production at a time when new digital products were being reshaped. Management in the Kodak Company did not fully grasp how the world was gradually reshaping and therefore could not remain in the industry. They still hung on to old -fashioned technologies and assumptions how, where and who took the pictures. Large companies in the media industry should learn to embrace new trends that are appealing to the consumers’ tastes and preferences. The la carte approach is one example of such a new technology and program that should be embraced by all media companies (Einstein,

This first key minute that I'm going to discuss in this film about organizational change is motivating change. The "spurs change by giving so as to move devotees them trust and making flexibility a conceivable reality" Cummings & Worley (2005). What William Wallace did to get this going was that he never indicated apprehension. William Wallace

When faced with a fresh start, whether that is enrolling at a new school, starting a new hobby or, most importantly, starting a new job, there will always be growing pains. Anyone who has experienced a transition from one role to another can make a case for the tensions and discomfort that usually arise. Whether this tension stems from your peers in the workplace or even the managers superior to you, it takes a great deal of effort to ensure that the transition of roles in the workplace is as smooth as possible. In the Harvard Business School case “Thomas Green: Power, Office Politics, and a Career in Crisis,” Thomas Green, recently promoted Senior Market Specialist at Dynamic Displays faces a challenge when he and his direct manager, Marketing Director, Frank Davis, clash in their working styles. As a result of Davis’ loss of credibility and the clash of priorities between the two men, Green’s place at Dynamic along with his job security become tenuous.

The company faced issues related to the methods it used in investigating the unauthorized disclosure of nonpublic information to the press by the members of its board of directors. Apparently, Hewlett Packard hired some investigators in the case. The investigator used various techniques such as pre-texting- calling the telephone company and pose as someone else with an aim of obtaining that person’s information or records. The company and the board chairman, Patricia Dunn, were defending the company’s investigations about the director and the journalist. They cited that there were aggressive efforts to note the core source of leaks that were fully justified by the investigators
