They are both socially conscious and aware of what the advances in technology can bring. Bush's idea of advances in technology may seem primitive today, but back then the things he envisioned were probably thought by many impossible. Kelly's message gives us a bit of a warning that technological advances are necessary, but we cannot neglect the consequences that this can sometimes bring. For instance, we are now building more hybrid cars to cut down on pollution.
A CIO's perspective on how the government's counterterrorism efforts have impacted citizen's rights might be that after the events of 9-1-1, we have relied on technology more and more to aid us in our effort to counteract terrorist activity. After these events, the public received most of its information via the Internet or by watching the news on television. With electronic rulemaking, the public is no longer spoon fed information doled out by the federal government, but citizens can now take an active part in the rule making process since it affects us all. The E-Government Act in 2002 allowed for incorporation of information technology into the federal bureaucracy (ageconsearch.umn.edu). Now that the rulemaking process is electronic and the majority of citizens have a home computer or access to one, the process has become easier for the public to participate in. This is important because through technology, citizens can be involved in rulemaking as it pertains to terrorism and other issues as it is happening. Citizens have a right to know what rules and efforts are being put into place so that they...
Technology plays an important part in this. No longer are citizens told what they can and cannot do at airports or other institutions where the threat of terrorism is extremely high. They can also be involved in the decision-making if the feel rules are too stringent or not stringent enough.
Only modern technology would allow something such as this and as such, technology is necessary in order for us to advance and become involved. The CIO would be in favor of the electronic rulemaking process and would seek ways in which to make the process work even better for all involved. The CIO would appreciate the visions of Vannevar Bush because without the forward thinking of people from the past, we would not be where we are today. The CIO would also support the futuristic thinking of Eamon Kelly because he is pro-technology, but he is also for developing it in a way that advances society while making the world more global and a better place to live. The CIO would recognize that Eamon sees the silver lining in some of the negative outputs that have come from technology and he knows that we must constantly seek ways to take advantage of the opportunities before us.

325). Robertson & Tang (1998) demonstrate through systematic analysis how commitment in an organization can be empirically measured and how organizations can use that information to improve organizational structures, systems, behaviors and thought processes. This can only be achieved through consistent, objective and systematic processes that automatically work to support a more diverse and functioning work environment. Q4. Explain what is meant by the term "workforce diversity?" Workforce diversity means different things
Clipper's recent Outstanding Research and Development Partnership Award from the U.S. Department of Energy will hopefully be a harbinger of partnerships with the department. Given that the significant potential of wind power to provide a renewable source of energy is currently unknown by much of the public, engaging in a public relations campaign through television and the Internet is essential to marketing Clipper and creating a demand for companies to
management and organization and reviews new trends. The essay also discusses new trends in management that affect organizations and the implications of those trends. A survey of the literature reveals various definitions of management in use. Management has been defined as the process of getting things done through and with people. It is the planning and directing of effort and the organizing and employing of resources, both human and material,
The larger social implications of successful human resources development practices and perspectives have not been lost on researchers in the area, either. Altering human resource management practices to better address labor issues faced by non-management employees both within the organization and in their lives at large creates both a more satisfied and a more productive workforce and can also lead to reduced levels of underemployment and improve the general quality

Change Management in Public Organizations Change management involves an organization moving through adjustments to bring it into a different point in its development (Anderson & Anderson, 2001). Companies are almost always changing and growing, but when change management is involved these changes are calculated and they take place in a planned way. The goal is to move the company forward so that it can continue to grow and develop with the
