Previous research has indicated that the path-goal theory is an effective way to study leadership behavior; however, a gap exists in the literature with respect to its achievement-oriented and participative leadership dimensions in high-tech organizations. In this quantitative study, the effects of a core values intervention on the four leadership dimensions of House's path-goal theory were evaluated at a semiconductor manufacturer with a focus on the differences between supervisors and non-supervisory personnel. Data were gathered from the validated, company-developed Corporate Culture Survey that was administered pre and post intervention. Data were also gathered from a categorization task that sorted the Corporate Culture Survey items into leadership dimensions to form the dependent measures. ANOVA was used to determine whether significant changes in perceptions of leadership behavior by supervisors and non-supervisory personnel occurred on House's four leadership dimensions as a result of the values intervention. Results of a two-way ANOVA on the directive supervision subscale show an interaction between the pre-post intervention factor and supervisors/non-supervisory factor in addition to a main effect for the pre-post intervention factor. Analysis of the simple effects for directive leadership shows a significant pre-post intervention gain on mean score for non-supervisory personnel. Implications for social change include recognizing perceptions of enhanced directive leadership that can help remove manufacturing interruptions to increase productivity and decrease costs.

<p>The purpose of this study is to examine the relevant literatures about coordination mechanisms as well as study the use of coordination mechanisms by MNCs. Since many scholars have presented various models and claimed that their ideas are useful for MNCs and   subsidiary.

Most computational models of neurons assume that their electrical characteristics are of paramount importance. However, all long-term changes in synaptic efficacy, as well as many short-term effects, are mediated by chemical mechanisms. This technical report explores the interaction between electrical and chemical mechanisms in neural learning and development. Two neural systems that exemplify this interaction are described and modelled. The first is the mechanisms underlying habituation, sensitization, and associative learning in the gill withdrawal reflex circuit in Aplysia, a marine snail. The second is the formation of retinotopic projections in the early visual pathway during embryonic development.
