Jade Stadium Redevelopment (project management)
Introduction
The redevelopment of Jade Stadium, formally Lancaster Park, has been a
project in development for a number of years. It is interesting to
view the processes and changes in approaches to reach compromises,
that have occurred in the lead up to this project especially with the
stage the redevelopment is at now, (near completion). The emphasis
placed upon planning and funding has had a huge impact to not only the
time frame for completion of project but at a more basic stage of
whether the redevelopment would even go ahead. The information used
for this review dates back only as far as January 99, but even by that
stage several years work had gone into pushing and lobbying for an
improved, upgraded multi purpose stadium in Christchurch. Articles
giving detail to the development process, the stages of development
and the politics involved in the redevelopment of Jade Stadium are
taken from January 20 1999, until the October 13 2000. The majority of
articles are news items taken from Christchurch’s major newspaper,
‘The Christchurch Press’. Not all information present in the articles
was relevant to the review topic of, the redevelopment of jade
stadium, and so this is the reason for the use of several articles, to
gain enough knowledge on the topic area.
Temporary and Unique
The jade stadium project is one of a temporary nature. Although it may
be a long and drawn out process there is definitely a definite start
(realisation of a need for a revamped stadium) and finish (completion
of construction and closure). With respect to the jade stadium
project, those dates have constantly changed. Originally set for an
early 2000-start time, that date was changed several times until
finally settled for October 2000 and estimated to take 18 months to
complete. A deadline that they are currently on track to meet. Like
any other project, Jade Stadiums redevelopment was a unique venture,
not only in its actual design, ownership and the way in which the
revenue to fund the project was produced but also in the actual use of
the stadium. Being a rugby and cricket facility with ground breaking
technology in the form of the new drop in pitches, an invention first
tried by grounds staff two years ago. The stadium revamp unlike the
new Wellington stadium will be done on the existi...

...point of view or side of the story, and that in general all
articles relating to the redevelopment of jade stadium, held a more
positive slant or position towards the development and the development
team. The key points contained within the review begin with defining
the uniqueness and temporary nature of a project and how jade stadium
is a one off major project. The revenue provided to support such an
expensive project comes from a wide and varying plane, with the use of
a business plan one of the most important tools in the development of
Jade Stadium. It can be noted that a great deal of importance was
placed upon the planning phase in order to do it once and do it right.
And that the project followed the basic project life cycle model.

Through the reminiscent use of literary devices Owen creates a deeply poignant poem to express a very powerful message. Through this description of the physical, mental and emotional effects of war, Owen seeks to shed light on these horrors and in doing so highlights the tragedy of innocent men who are misled into sacrificing their lives for their country. This is still relevant to today because, he has set the tone for an entire generation of men and women thinking about war. It is a valuable message to our modern society as there are still deliberate attempts of those in the position of power to perpetuate myths of patriotism and nationalism that conceals the reality that soldiers face. This is the reality of some men where governments and militaries use propaganda in various crisis situations; whether it’s the war in Iraq, the war in Libya or the war in Afghanistan. It is to this end that Owen wishes to illuminate a message that enhances voice and rejects the machinery that so easily advances deception at the cost of
The last process is called planning. Planning, formerly called Phase II, is the bridge to change. This can include making a clear plan and creating a menu of options for how to proceed.
One common tactic used in the movie industry to combat film piracy is the development of short advertisement-like clips that are set to automatically play before the beginning of a feature film presentation. The clips are designed to appeal to the ethos of the viewer - who inherently knows that stealing is wrong – by listing things the viewer would assumedly not steal, ending the clip with the words, “You wouldn't steal a movie. Downloading pirated films is stealing, stealing is against the law. PIRACY: IT'S A CRIME.”

It is first beneficial to know the definition of piracy. Piracy has been characterized multiple ways from multiple disciplines. For the purpose of this paper, I will apply the definition of piracy from the 1982 United ...
For any organization, planning, the first step in the four management functions, is very significant to reach success. During the planning process, organizations establish goals for expectations on performance and then decide on how to reach that specific goal. For example, increasing sales each year is Pacsun's year long goal. The stores keep all of their sales reports, return logs, and exchange records for each day, so when that same business day comes around again the following year, each store knows exactly how many sales they need to have to increase sales for the current year. They also keep track of each store's average dollar amount per sale and how many units are being sold through each transact...
In this paper, I will attempt to describe the piracy problem in China, discuss how the Chinese government is dealing with it, present the global effect, and finally arrive at what would be an ethical solution to piracy fitting for China's situation.
The German Pavilion, more commonly known as the Barcelona Pavilion, is one of the most recognizable buildings of the modern period during the early 20th century. It encapsulates every element of modern architecture in one structure. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, one of the fathers of modern architecture, was the architect of this beautiful building. In this essay I will explore how Mies impacted the modern movement in architecture through his groundbreaking ideas using the Barcelona Pavilion as a case study.
The objective of this report is to present and discuss the management of field construction projects. These projects involve a great deal of time and expense, so close control and management is paramount if they are to be completed within the established time and cost limitations. The term construction management is applied to the provision of professional management services to the owner of a construction project with the objective of achieving high quality with low costs.
“Planning: is specifying the goals to be achieved and deciding in advance the appropriate actions needed to achieve those goals” (Bateman & Snell, 2004, p. 16).
During planning for an impending project, evaluates for task durations that needed. In order for the plan to be preserved as realistic, most of the time is taken into consideration in order to make sure that accurate estimates are obtained. Accurate assessments offer increased prospects and high-confidence in the mission being completed on time (Mahadevan, p.165). This aspect enables additional safety time past the work content time required to be embedded within the job duration.
Periodic drills must be done to ensure that, all the members of family execute their plan as planned.
As Schermerhorn states in Management planning, organizing, leading, and controlling are the tools needed by managers to accomplish performance goals. It is crucial that managers be able to recognize and act upon problems or opportunities as they arise. Planning is perhaps the cornerstone of the four processes. All good processes were at some point given great detail so as to anticipate possible problems and solutions to those problems. When the Honda Motor Company decided it needed to refine its inventory they didn't just jump at the first idea that was proposed; they first set their objectives and discussed ways to meet those objectives. After giving careful consideration to processes and the streamlining of those processes human error rose as the top need for change. Sounds simple you might respond; in reality it is much more complicated.
Answer : According to Jonas having a plan of action is a central point of order. The planning stage is extremely important both as a manifestation of the German time management style and as a means of developing a systematic, structured approach to performing any task. Set aside enough time for planning
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, my friend, you would not tell with such high zest to children ardent for some desperate glory, the old lie: dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.
