I will pay for the following essay Organisational Change in the Oticon. The essay is to be 7 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page.

The above issues regarding creativity appear in all aspects of life including business activities. In the case of Oticon, creativity has been expressed mostly through the initiatives taken by its president, Lars Kolind, who managed to apply an innovative strategy of change in all the company’s sectors within the 10 years that remained in the firm’s presidency. The whole creative management response of Kolind regarding Oticon is presented in Appendix Ia where the most important strategic decisions of Kolind had been summarized in order to create an ‘alternative Creative Management Response Model’ as presented in Appendix I. As shown in Appendix Ia, the main characteristics of change management applied by Kolind were the redefinition of the company’s vision, the creation of the project-based scheme of operation, the enhancement of the trust towards the employees, the development of technology used in all corporate sectors (from the administration department to the production area) and the set of short-term goals rather than the long term plans which were proved to be inadequate for the company’s development in the modern commercial area. On the other hand, the reduction in the number of employees as taken place in the initial phase of change (in fact in the first two years of Kolind’s presidency) was only temporary and the restructuring of the company’s administration, as well as the reassignment of activities, led to the development of company’s performance on a continuous basis. Towards this direction, the enhancement of communication in the internal environment, as well as the promotion of the team work (through the cooperation of groups on a specific project), also supported the effectiveness of the strategy of change applied by Kolind. Every form of metaphor has its particular role in the business strategy (in accordance with the targets set by the organization’s leader) and it can be used along with other tools of strategic management in order to lead to specific results.

  • Individual development is described as a short-term orientation to performance improvement. In contrast, career development is a more long-term approach. Which has the greatest impact on the organization (individual development or career development)? What types of topics or activities might be used for each (individual versus career development)? Should development always focus on job- or organizational-specific concerns or might development include any type of development for an individual (including things that don’t specifically relate to the job/organization)? Leadership lessons you can learn?
  • Many organizations suggest that human resources (HR) are their most valuable resource. A competitive advantage can be achieved by maximizing everyone’s contribution. Therefore, sustainable competitive advantage is based on an organization’s ability to utilize its most valuable resource—people. Relative to physical and financial resources, how important are human resources? In other words, are human resources more important? Less important? Of the same importance? What factors should we consider when trying to answer these questions? Do you agree that the only way to sustain a competitive advantage is through an organization’s HR? Leadership lessons you can learn?
  • Have you ever had a leader who was also a good coach? What did she or he do? How did she or he make you feel? What were some of the attributes that she or he possessed? Was there one attribute that seemed to be most important or most crucial to being a good coach? Leadership lessons you can learn?
  • Organizational and leadership experts can perform at least two different roles. One is the role of a consultant. The other is the role of a coach. What is similar about a consultant and a coach and the process that each uses? What is different? Can the same person perform both? Can the same person perform both in the same organization? Are there other similar roles (e.g., counselor, advisor, mentor, etc.)? How do those roles compare/contrast to the coaching role? Leadership lessons you can learn?

Write 2 page essay on the topic Relationship between the physical body and the technology.

Relationship between the physical body and the technology

“The nineteenth century demanded the functional specialization of man and his work. this specialization makes one individual incomparable to another …, however, this specialization makes each man the more directly dependent upon the supplementary activities of all others” (Simmel, 1903). Surveillance strategies were enacted to negotiate pay or to track wages. This dictated the impersonal ordering of the clock, engendering feelings of alienation as the individual perceived themselves different from, yet the same as, their co-workers, yet had no room to explore this difference.

Explorations into this mechanized realm produced the phantasmagorical, characterized by fantastic imagery and incongruous juxtapositions. Through this imagery of the Dada, Surrealism and Letterism movements, the Situationists Movement arose, providing “their critique of modern culture, their celebration of creativity, and their stress on the immediate transformation of everyday life” (Marshall, 2000). ‘Everyday’ life, they maintain, deadens the mind into numb acceptance, while exploration of the surreal awakens subjectivity. This led to the concept of psychogeography as part of the system of unitary urbanism or “the study of specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals” (Situationnise Internationale, 1958).
