Outside consultants are more likely to initiate ________ organizational changes than insiders.

1 answer:

8 0

I believe the answer is: Drastic organizational change
Outside consultants often do not understand the tradition/culture that exist in the original workplace condition.
Because of this, the changes that made by them often disregard the old things altogether in order to implement the latest organizational trends.

Behaviorism (or behaviorist approach)

Click card to see definition

Learning: the change of behavior as a function of experience. Stimuli that occur close together in time will come to elicit the same response. Behaviors followed by pleasant outcomes are more likely to be repeated. Behaviors followed by unpleasant outcomes are less likely to be repeated. Explain personality in terms of learning principles.

Thinking about how our behaviors, what we do, is altered and changed based on experiences in life. When things happen close together we link them. If you do a certain behavior and followed by pleasant outcomes more likely to keep doing it ex: go to work get paid so keep going to work. And vice versa ex: put hand on stove hurt so don't do it again. Behaviorism has taught us how to behave and influences our personality. Learned over time to be that way

Behaviorism: study of how a person's behavior is a direct result of his/her environment, particularly the rewards and punishments in the environment. Belief that the causes of behavior can be directly observed because they are in the environment - rewards and punishments in the social world.

Functional analysis: the goal of behaviorism is to determine how behavior is a function of one's environment - situationism.

Rewards and punishments teach us lessons on how to behave. Be able to look and observe what's doing stuff to you. What is teaching you this. Study things from the outside.

Functional analysis is a goal of behaviorism. Person situationism debate. Situations is molding you, environment is rewarding or punishing you. Situation more powerful than just who you are.

Empiricism is the foundation of behaviorism

Behiviorists believe that all knowledge worth having comes from direct, public observation. Private introspection, of the sort practiced by Wundt, is invalid because nobody can verify it. Attempting to tap other people's thoughts, via psychoanalysis for example, is similarly suspect. The whole idea of theorizing about something we can't see - any entity within the mind - is a dubious business at best. The only valid way to know about somebody is to watch what he does - the person's behavior.

Empiricism

Click card to see definition

Idea that all knowledge comes from experience. Experience is the direct product of reality - reality determines personality, the structure of the mind, and behavior. In opposition to rationalism - the idea that the mind determines our experiences of reality. Implies that at birth the mind is essentially empty - John Locke: tabula rasa, or blank slate. Not born with, comes from experience. Blank slate when we are born. Mind is developed over time. Based on environment. World around us influences our personality. Mind determines experiences.

Responsibility for an accident is rarely defined clearly and is often difficult to trace to one or two people or causes. In this

Bas_tet [7]

Hello. This question is incomplete. Full question is:

Read the fictitious killer Robot case found at the web site for the Online Ethics Center for Engineering & Science.

The case begins with the incitement of a programmer for manslaughter for writing a faulty code that resulted in the death of a robot operator. Slowly, over the course of many articles, you are introduced to several factors within the corporation that contributed to the accident. Read the case and answer the following questions:

Responsibility for an accident is rarely defined clearly and is often difficult to trace to one or two people or causes. In this fictitious case, it is clear that a large number of people share responsibility for the accident. Identify all the people you think were at least partially responsible for the death of Bart Matthews, and explain why you think so.

Answer and Explanation:

When reading the case indicated in the question above, we can see that it is a case where a poorly programmed industrial robot killed its operator. In this case, we can point out that the programmers of this robot are the first culprits. This is because the robot in question exhibited a violent and dangerous behavior that could have been avoided with correct programming and effective tests. This shows that the programmers did not have enough knowledge and experience to work on this project. This makes us able to point out other culprits that is the company that hired the programmers called Silicon Techtronics, as well as the manager and responsible for the project because it had the obligation to assess the degree of professionalism of the programmers, as well as ensuring the safety of employees.

The primary challenge in driving a manual transmission vehicle is learning to:

Semenov [28]

A manual transmission vehicle, for example, is a manually driven car. Unlike automatic cars, you have to learn how to work the gears of the car. There are 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th gears. You have to know how to transition in between these gears through the neutral position. Also, the timing of the clutch and acceleration steps should be practiced to achieve smooth driving.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

D - Mental.

Explanation:

Determining that the driving risk is too high, be it for medical reasons (physical, physiological, mental, etc), is enough reason to strongly consider alternative transportation choices. Not only because the risk is for the driver, but for any other people out on the streets, passengers, other drivers, etc. Driving is no simple task, and should be taken with all the seriousness possible.
