Art of Security
1. I am not sure this is an art to contemporary security practice. Security is about identifying and mitigating risks. That's a fairly scientific exercise, and it has to be, because quite frankly any failure on the security front is a vulnerability. No client pays for an artistic who may or may not be on; clients pay for security from scientists who rigorously identify risks, test methods of preventing risk, and close off any opportunities. Being able to identify risk might be seen by some as an art, when the risk is unknown, but conceptualizing the unknown can also be done in a fairly scientific manner, just by observing, looking around and asking questions. If you think you have all the answers, you have not asked enough questions. I don't by the logic that there is an art to security.
2. McGrath (2014) argues that there have been three eras of management since the Industrial Revolution. The first was the execution phase, influenced by Henry Ford and Frederick Taylor, an era where management started to become a thing that was studied, and in those days the study was about getting things done. The next phase was more about expertise, where expertise from...
The most modern stage of management, according to McGrath, focuses on empathy. As work became more about knowledge, management became more about humans.
The principles of scientific management were not abandoned, but rather they have transformed in terms of their focus. Science from a wide number of fields has been applied to management, making it more comprehensive than when the idea of scientific management was first introduced. Modern management began with the scientific study of how to get things done at scale, but as the nature of work has changed, the focus of that study has changed, to the point where now it is almost entirely about the human side of work.
Fayol's work has continued to be influential, even as the nature of the workplace has changed. In Fayol's 14 principles, there is the division of work and the authority of management, both of which hold true today (MindTools, 2018). People are even more specialized than in Fayol's day, when the idea of being a specialist was unusual, or turning to a Taylorian person who only knew how…

Individuals work half a day, or weekly based on the sharing arrangements. Split and sharing of the jobs leads to the organizations benefit, as talented individuals who are unable to work on a fulltime basis get an employment chance. Although adjustment problems occur, the arrangement of a proper schedule is required. III. Telecommuting also known as the flexiplace, is a working condition that allows the least portion of the scheduled
Management Theories Historical records show that people always organized themselves in order to work together towards a common objective and they coordinated their efforts to achieve this objective (Accel-Team 2004). It was not until the latter part of the 19th century that the concept of scientific management entered history during the Industrial Revolution, but management skills existed long before the 19th century. Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids, ancient Chinese erected the
D.). Values are the personification of what an organization stands for, and should be the foundation for the behavior of its members. A disconnect between individual and organizational values often leads to dysfunction. "Additionally, an organization may publish one set of values, perhaps in an effort to push forward a positive image, while the values that really guide organizational behavior are very different. When there is a disconnect between stated and
Eventually, when the rest of Europe became a solid, cultural entity at the end of the Middle Ages, it was no surprise that the Byzantine Empire did not survive since it had failed to hold true to its core values and, eventually, the Empire officially ended upon conquest by the Ottomans. Islamic Golden Age The Islamic Golden Age is also called the Islamic Renaissance and its generally thought of as ranging
Even more, strong theory should approach micro processes, if necessary. In certain situations, strong theory leads to directions that cannot be observed without the help of theory. Regarding organizational theory, contributors to building the basis of strong theory in this field include: Frederick Winslow Taylor (who studied human behavior at work using a systematic approach), Elton Mayo (who focused on the emotional side of employees and how it affects their
Aviation Maintenance Management Theory & Practices Aeronautics is considered to be the most secured and fastest mode of journey. But the frequent air accidents and resulting consequences reduce our reliance on the mode. Human flaws are acknowledged to be very critical in diverse fields like medicine, mining, shipping so also aviation. Irrespective of the fact that the role human component is widely acknowledged in the cockpit, its contribution in sphere of
