Aim: The aim of our research is to explore and narrate the post-merger effects on employees' motivation and effective managerial role for the motivation management in the staff in Post-Merger Phase. Methodology: The research is qualitative and covers both, the managerial and employees’ approach through application of Herzberg (1966) motivational theory to assess certain changes in employees’ motivation level during the Post-Merger phase. Primary data is sourced from face to face interviews of respondents and narrated in empirical findings. Analysis and conclusion are derived on the basis of the State of Art theories. Conclusion: Merger affects the employees’ motivations by ignoring their motivational factors, communication and information sharing management. Managerial role is important to answer the employees’ job insecurities and maintain the level of their motivation effectively. Optimum employees-organization relationship can be secured through effective information and communication management for the success of corporate objectives and employees’ satisfaction. Contribution: The research greatly contributes towards knowledge in management studies and relevant information is useful for business management students, managers, and Merger implementing management about certain aspects of consequential organizational changes and motivational factors of the workforce. The repeated research to periodically observe the staff's motivation and effective managerial implements can enhance in-depth knowledge of potential effective remedies especially for new and possibly merging organizations. Through such kind of research works, Merger failure rate can be reduced and overcome gradually that result due to employee’s diminishing motivations at workplace and management's’ failure to take cognizance of Post-Merger changes in employee’s behaviour

In several countries, the contributions of Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) in promoting the livelihood of the communities can clearly be identified. As a matter of fact, international development agencies increase their trust to NGOs in running development projects because they have proven capable of running these projects at a lower cost while reaching the huge number of poor communities. However, several factors have influenced the development of NGOs had little participation, contribution, and impact in undertaking the more structurally-entrenched causes and indicators of poverty. In addition, in most of the countries in Africa, local NGOs are weak with regards to the implementation of development projects. Consequently, there are ongoing questions towards these challenges faced by NGOs, especially at the local level. Most of the research focus on the external factors such as corruption, political instability, climatic unreliability, inadequate resources as the main reasons for less performance of the projects. Additionally, other researchers pinpoint the issue of upward accountability from sponsors and donors, but still they do not tell us the full story, therefore, realizing the gap of internal factors that have been overlooked by many researchers in the successful implementation of projects in Africa. This research seeks to explore the concept of leadership within local NGOs that conduct Economic Empowerment Projects, in East Africa. Through the qualitative study, our research findings would be analyzed to provide an insight to management team on how managerial and entrepreneurial thinking may influence the performance of the community development projects. In this study, the capacity development model will be identified and proposed as a guideline for organizational leaders in the capacity building interventions. This would support development practitioners of NGO sector in tackling the ongoing practical challenges in developing countries.

策略規劃的良窳關係到企業發展和生存空間的開創，也就是說，良善的策略可幫助企業在煩雜客題中，釐清頭緒及當前應關注的重點。而本研究希望從欲爭取執照成為行動通訊系統業者為對象，探討未來第三代行動通訊服務市場受到主流標準、新技術的採用、政府產業政策制定以及消費者需求更迭將產生結構上的變化，系統業者之經營策略會如何發展。 本研究採「個案研究法」。因此在確認研究主題與研究範圍之後，隨即進行相關文獻的蒐集與探討，之後再根據學者的研究歸納及筆者的邏輯推論，發展本研究的架構；再依據此研究架構，整理本研究對象所需的次級資料，並設計訪談大綱對規劃策略的高階經理人進行深度訪談。最後進行個案分析並發展命題以及推導出結論與建議。 研究發現，當全球解除管制朝電信自由化，以及自由競爭市場的潮流發展，產業經濟集中度將提高。影響行動通訊服務產業發展的重大因素有技術的發展應用、政府政策、消費者行為以及業者的投入和開創，而且關鍵成功要素將從服務傳輸的品質轉變成內容服務的創新與加值。此外，系統業者在可移動性結合網際網路的第三代行動通訊服務市場當中，位居核心地位，其策略的制定與執行不僅關係到本身企業的榮枯，更牽涉到各個產業的興衰，以及消費者的權益；所以必須在供需雙方面下功夫，亦即實體網路、內容服務、終端載具形成的合作機制的建立，並教育與刺激消費者以增加需求。 通訊與網路的發展使得整個產業價值鏈分工趨向專業並緊密聯盟，而且沒有一家企業能總括所有的產業區隔；另外，第三代行動通訊服務市場在技術與服務的本質上可說是一項新事業，因此競標團隊在此新事業的發展上相當強調「綜效的追求」，策略作為將走向利用本身資源累積的移轉以提高經營的門檻，以及以行動通訊匯聚、整合旗下所有的產業區隔，以發揮整體作戰優勢與開創新利基市場。另外，伴隨行動通訊全球漫遊的發展，系統業者勢必跟隨全球化腳步跨國發展；所以，除了在國內市場建立厚實基礎，累積核心能耐與競爭優勢以增強議價力外，並要結合國際一流廠商的資源和品牌優勢，利用文化障礙與華文內容發展的經驗和know-how，深耕華文市場。 / The key issue of corporate developing and creating new area is strategic planning. Meanwhile, good strategic planning helps business clarify the viewpoint in the complex environment. Both mobile communication and Internet are mainstream of the telecommunication industry. And 3G will integrate mobility and Internet. I hope to discuss the managerial strategies of operators in the mobile service market. This research adopts 「Case Study Research」. After deciding the research theme and range, I began to gather up related references and analyze them according to research frame. Next, I deeply interviewed with top managers of seven companies. And then, my conclusions were infirmed by them. Operators, which provide all kinds of services, need a mechanism that do whole network planning and design contents and services. The operating rule is that appeal to customers, create the contents and services by revenue, adjust the module of platform to reduce the customers’ cost of transaction, and increase the efficiency of network. Most important is to do customers' services management well. The strategy to win the customers is creating value-added services, meanwhile personalized product and value. We can discuss the synergy from two dimensions: economy of core competence sharing and complementary of all businesses corporation. Operators will develop the「defense」and「attack」strategies from two dimensions. Besides, it is “Giant Game” in the mobile service market. Operators in Taiwan can stand on the local market. Next, they can increase competitive advantages and follow first tier to explore the operating boundary with Chinese content.

Their object of study, however, and that it particularizes, it relates to a portion this problematic; it relates to set of determinations that comprise a broader set of determinations of this historical process: it is a set of determinations forged and mediated by bourgeois strategies of management for the conformation of the circumstances necessary for the domination and for the conduct of labor force on operations in work processes for the production of surplus value. What we investigated are, because, the strategies of disarticulation that the bourgeoisie utilizes, under the mantle of subsidies conceptual and interventive of its management of work processes and the sieve of class struggles, to obstruct the union of workers; hamper the movements proletarians. Managerial strategies that intentionally or unintentionally, instill in the social relations of production means to produce and reproduce, activate and reactivate conditions of incitement of individualism and competition between the workers themselves. We shall see, thus, by analyzing means, centrally, from some of the fundamentals of disarticulation in the managerial strategies bourgeois and some of the fundamental strategies of management bourgeois hegemonized with the restructuring productive of 1970, that the disarticulation, and also the demobilization, is a concrete condition, is an objective condition, that is beyond a question that can be "solved" only by enlightenment cognitive, only by formation criticism intellectual. In everyday of the work spaces permeated by managerial strategies bourgeois there elements, then, operating as a material force putting difficulties important for the articulation of the workers, the solidarity of the proletariat; elements that constitute obstacle significant to an awareness of class and belonging; elements act in favor of the atomization of the worker - even if engenders, in the same process, as a contradiction, potentiality of resistance and fight the forces of labor / A problem?tica que confere contornos a esta pesquisa ? a quest?o do processo hist?rico de desmobiliza??o dos movimentos das classes trabalhadoras em seu acentuado momento contempor?neo. Seu objeto de estudo, no entanto, e o que lhe particulariza, diz respeito a uma parcela desta problem?tica; diz respeito a um conjunto de determina??es que comp?e um conjunto mais amplo de determina??es desse processo hist?rico: trata de um conjunto de determina??es forjadas e mediadas pelas estrat?gias burguesas de ger?ncia para a conforma??o das circunst?ncias necess?rias ? domina??o e ? condu??o das for?as de trabalho em suas opera??es nos processos de trabalho para a produ??o da mais-valia. O que investigamos s?o, pois, as estrat?gias de desarticula??o de que a burguesia se utiliza, sob o manto dos subs?dios conceituais e interventivos da sua ger?ncia nos processos de trabalho e o crivo das lutas de classes, para obstaculizar a uni?o dos trabalhadores; estorvar os movimentos prolet?rios. Estrat?gias gerenciais que, intencionalmente ou n?o, incutem nas rela??es sociais de produ??o meios de produzir e reproduzir, ativar e reativar, condi??es de incitamento do individualismo e da concorr?ncia entre os pr?prios trabalhadores. Veremos, assim, por meio da an?lise, centralmente, de alguns dos fundamentos da desarticula??o nas estrat?gias gerenciais burguesas e de algumas das estrat?gias fundamentais da ger?ncia burguesa hegemonizadas com a reestrutura??o produtiva de 1970, que a desarticula??o, e tamb?m a desmobiliza??o, ? uma condi??o concreta, ? uma condi??o objetiva, que est? para al?m de uma quest?o que pode ser "resolvida" apenas com o esclarecimento cognitivo, apenas com a forma??o intelectiva cr?tica.

The diploma thesis being submitted deals with the issue of applying managerial strategies and their economic impacts on the České Budějovice pencil factory within the years 1945-1948. The core sources for this analysis were mostly annual reports and operation reports, meeting minutes, statistical reports, correspondence, and sources of private nature. The thesis builds upon the methodological bases of business history. The most prominent pencil industry people of the post-war era became the main subject of the research. Based on the business strategies of these managers, the following parts of the thesis then focused on economic evolution, on which they applied both vertical and horizontal comparisons. The advertising activities of these pencil factories or the negotiations with the former subsidiaries represented by the Hardmuth family did not go unnoticed either. The key contribution of this thesis lies in its analysis of the nationalization process followed by the centralization of the Czechoslovakian pencil industry.

Food service businesses in the United States have experienced millions of dollars in losses caused by foodborne illness outbreaks, which can lead to bankruptcy and business closures. More than 68% of all foodborne illness outbreaks occur in food service establishments. The purpose of this descriptive case study was to explore the strategies leaders of food service establishments use to implement food safety regulations. Force field analysis was the conceptual framework for this study. The population for the study consisted of 3 leaders of food service establishments located in the southeastern region of the United States. Data were collected using semistructured interviews and a review of the business policies and procedures that support compliance with critical food safety regulations. The methodological triangulation approach was used to assist in correlating the interview responses with company policies and procedures during the data analysis process. Yin's 5-step data analysis approach resulted in 3 themes: (a) organizational performance analysis for improvements in food safety, (b) strategies applied to improve food safety, and (c) stability of new strategies for food safety. The key strategies identified included adhering to the guidelines of food code and regulation, conducting employee training and awareness building, and working closely with food safety inspectors. The implications for positive social change include the potential to add knowledge to businesses, employees, and communities on the use of effective food safety strategies to minimize foodborne illnesses. Such results may lead to the improvement of service performance and long-term growth and sustainability of food service establishments.

O seu principal objetivo foi o de investigar se os benefícios assegurados pelo modelo de organizações em rede podem ser estendidos aos consórcios gaúchos. De forma secundária, buscou-se caracterizar a estrutura de organização, entender o seu processo de formação e identificar que mudanças sofridas pelo transporte público de Porto Alegre no período 1990-2005 lhes podem ser atribuídas. A pesquisa se desenvolveu com base em fontes secundárias e a partir de entrevistas com informantes-chave do sistema de transporte local, empresários consorciados, gestores públicos e representantes dos trabalhadores do setor. É muito rica a experiência dos consórcios gaúchos, sobretudo nos seus aspectos negociais e institucionais, mas o modelo se traduz, apenas, numa representação imatura ou incompleta do modelo de organizações em rede, não estando pronto a usufruir de todas as suas vantagens, inclusive no que tange à sua manutenibilidade. / Salvador
