The Global Manager
The rapid growth of globalization has created a boundary less
organization. To manage such an organization, there is a need for a
global manager, one who manages across distances, countries and
cultures. Considered by some authors to be a myth, wider research,
readings and understanding suggest its existence. There are certain
criteria which define a global manager, which are truly essential to
successful manage in the international context. These managers are
invaluable to the organization as they provide the competitive edge.
However, there has been shortage of such global managers due to the
recruitment of such managers only from the home country of the
organization. This is created a limited pool of next generation
managers. With the changing trend, organizations have been emphasizing
on the recruitment of managers from home country and third nation
country. Women, too, are being considered. The major challenge facing
global organizations is attract and retain such global managers.
In view of some authors, such as, Christopher A Barlett and Sumantra
Ghoshal[1], “there is no such thing as a ‘universal’ global manager,
rather there are 3 groups of specialists: business managers, country
managers, and functional managers and there are top executives at
corporate headquarters, who manage the complex interactions between
the 3.” According to Yehuda Baruch[2], there is “no such thing as a
global manager”, because “the examination of a wide possible
characteristics indicates that there seems to be no distinct set of
individual qualities that constitute such a manager.”
With globalization becoming a basic economic reality, national
boundaries have become insignificant. As a result,...

Crime is an irrelevant concept as it is tied to the formal social control mechanism of the State; deviance is a concept that is owned by sociology thus our study should be the sociology of deviance, rather than criminology
Born in 1881, the son of Jose Ruiz Blaso and Maria Picasso Lopez. Young Picasso at the start of age 7 had lessons involving art from his father. His father taught figure drawing and oil painting to him at that point. Pablo started his first oil paintings as portraits of his family eventually doing caricatures of villagers. By 13 he was working on his own oil paintings. In 1895 he lost his younger sister to diphtheria. (Pablo Picasso's Early Life - Before 1901).
Jean Piaget was a theorist which “who” focused on people’s “children’s” mental processes (Rathus, S., & Longmuir, S., 2011, p.10).

For decades researchers have speculated about the relationship between levels of violence, and societal conditions such as poverty, urbanism, population composition, and family disruption. National and international level research has concluded that each of these factors are related to crime rates and their trends overtime (Avison & Loring, 1986; Lafree, 1999, Lauristen & Carbone-Lopez, 2011). To examine these factors more closely we should recognize that they are the foundation of many criminological theories, both motivational and control, applied to the macro and individual level. Specifically, these include social disorganization theory (Shaw & MCkay, 1942), anomie-strain theory (Merton, 1968), violent subcultural theories (Anderson, 1999), social bond theory (Hirschi, 1969), self-control theory (Gottfredson & Hirschi, 1990), and biosocial perspectives (Gottfredson & Hirschi, 1983).

Picasso was born into a very artistic family on October 25th 1881. At the age of 14 he started producing and selling oil paintings. He was a very determined young man and dropped out of a renowned art school

“Where Id is, there ego shall be” (Freud, S.S. 1932). This is particularly relevant for the play Othello by William Shakespeare. In Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality, he stated that the human psyche is a tripartite model composed of three elements. This psychoanalytic theory is extremely applicable to the Othello. The three main characters of this text of Othello have a remarkable resemblance to Freud’s analysis of human psyche, despite the fact that these two texts were written in different eras. Furthermore, the setting of Othello is also congruent with the concept of the human mind as a known and predictable conscious part and an unknown and sinister unconscious mind. Overall, Othello mirrors Freud’s psychoanalytical criticism concepts almost exactly. However, there are some facets of this text which refute Freudian Psychoanalysis.

In this questionnaire, researchers try to compare societies in the past and and present. When dealing with crime sociologist might ask “Why are the crimes rates higher now than what they were 50 years ago?” In this study to help focus sociological imagination, we might try to gain insight to explain why the crime rates have risen. To see the world in a more sociological perspective we are then required to look at the the difference in crime between past and present society. Researchers might consider that there is more deviance now than before, which could result in a higher crime rate. The society in the present could’ve developed subcultural groups who adopted norms, that encouraged or rewarded criminal-like behavior. This is one way a sociologist can look at this situation as a developmental
On August 9, 1896, Jean Piaget was born into this world not knowing he was going to be such an influence on the educational world today. “It is possible to give a rough definition of Piaget’s principal scientific concerns in a single sentence: he is primarily interested in the theoretical and experimental investigation of the qualitative development of intellectual structures” (Flavell, 1963, p. 15). Piaget was a theorist who placed an emphasis on the development of social behavior and nature as they contributed to cognitive development. When looking at cognitive development, you are focusing on problem-solving and how it develops throughout childhood.
