About This Topic

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments. In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome. There are two approaches to the process essay. The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task. The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process. The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things. First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary. Next, it needs to identify your audience. Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process. For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process. For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay. If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

TQM Framework for Shell Services in Defining

In defining their own quality management framework named the Shell Services Quality Framework (SQF) Shell Services sought to create a framework that could encompass people, processes and quality as they related to serving the customer. Shell also wanted to defined a framework that would deliver the greatest accuracy in terms of their own standards, targets and metrics of performance. Tracking metrics over time by quality management initiative and creating a knowledgebase of results was also a critical success factor for the development of the framework. The design objectives included having a high degree of simplicity, completeness, harmonization and exclusivity within the structure, allowing for rapid adoption and use. Shell envisioned the framework being a core part of their culture going forward. Best practices in quality management require that the organizational culture changes to adopt and actively rely on the core foundational elements of a quality management framework if it is to be effective (Kujala, Lillrank, 2004). This is precisely why Shell designed their own unique quality management framework with the four attributes mentioned above. The four components of Processes, Process Control, Customers and Business Excellence Model all contribute and support the SQF framework. This relative simplicity of design allowed for Shell to adapt the framework quickly to many varying needs and initiatives.

University Curricular Is Inversely Related

On the basis of the dissertation s statement below derive hypothetical design for a qualitative,quantitative and mixed research designs: The proposed dissertation study is based on the following problem statement: The international emphasis on education, including the study of languages and foreign cultures, is today still very limited and biased, creating a gap between the job skills and competencies acquired during one's studies and the international component increasingly present in every work environment, where the young graduate will have to travel or relate to foreign clients, suppliers and several stakeholders. De Wit, Jaramillo, and Knight (2005) report that the development of advanced communication, new technology, increased labor mobility, market economy and trade liberalization, increased private investment, decreased support of higher education, and the development of lifelong learning, are all key drivers for universities to have to internationalize their curricula. They also add that on the government side, the only attention given to this need is for educational programs preparing for government departments, and not for business and the industry at large. So it is evident that with an increasing global environment, the gap between university curricula and employment needs will also increase. .
