But, then, what is leadership? Unfortunately, the available literature on the subject is less than clear, with different researchers coming up with different criteria and different proofs. The three top theories are trait, behavioral, and contingency. The first argues that leaders simply possess inborn traits that make them so. The second presumes leadership can be learned, and the third takes a more holistic approach incorporating individual traits with specific action and individual circumstances. For my own purposes, the final conception of leadership is the most appropriate; it will permit me to, in the future, adapt my leadership style and actions to the varied situations that will arise during the course of running a business. Attempting such a task based on a limited number of personal traits or history of behaviors may not be wise; taking a contingency approach allows more flexibility.
Finally, conflict -- usually perceived to be bad -- is much like stress in that some conflict is actually functional for the organization. It is...
Conflict occurs when one party perceives another to be blocking its interests. When that happens, the first party can react in a variety of ways, but -- given an appropriate, moderate level of conflict -- we should expect to see an improvement in the level of interaction and debate among employees, leading to a more dynamic organizational climate.
Each of these managerial concepts -- organization, stress, leadership, and conflict -- will form the backbone of my future in the business world. As an intended business owner, it will be my task to put these concepts into actions in the organizational setting. Through contingent leadership, I will have to create an organizational culture that manages appropriate levels of stress and conflict for my employees in order to raise the level of their performance and exceed the goals of the organization.

Finance Financial Management in Non-Profit Organizations Financial management of not-for-profits is comparable to financial management in the commercial sector in a lot of respects; but, certain key variations shift the focus of a not-for-profit financial manager. A for-profit company focuses on prosperity and capitalizing on shareholder value. A not-for-profit organization's main goal is not to augment shareholder value; rather it is to offer some socially attractive need on a continuing basis. Budgeting
The use of some of mobile technologies will reduce the cost of advertising the products and will provide avenues of communication that are safe and reliable. The increasing number of organizations using multiple-channels builds the pressure for organizations to comply or risk going out of business. It is evident that customers that multiple-channel shoppers spend more that customers that use a single channel (Warrington, et al., 2004). Consumer demographics and
Management and Business Management Theories and Principles of Each Reading The Fifth Discipline forces managers to look at the way in which learning disabilities which are common to organizations can actually stunt their growth and progress. The author targets several common learning disabilities which can riddle even powerful organizations, they are: identifying with only one position, external enemies, the illusion of taking charge, fixation on events, the parable of the boiled frog,
Management Principles Management Leadership Model Paper: Management Principles Research suggests that everyone is a manager in their own way. For instance, everyone manages his finances, time, careers and relationships. These examples of managing are simple and straightforward. However, when concepts of management apply in organizations, management becomes complex. At such a point, it calls for extensive studying in order to understand the theoretical basis of management. The application of management and the enunciation
