This is a great HOMEWORK question - it's just an OPINION question.  Surely you have an opinion on this, don't you?  You don't have to know formulas or calculate anything or conjugate any verbs.  Just read the question, decide what YOU think, and state it in writing.\n\nNow why can't you run along and do that?  You'll keep a modicum of integrity by NOT CHEATING YOUR WAY INTO AN ANSWER.

have not heard Deming for sometime, His 14 points are at this location\n\nHere just one big difference.\nRemove the barriers that rob hourly workers, and people in management, of their right to pride of workmanship. This implies, among other things, abolition of the annual merit rating (appraisal of performance) and of Management by Objective. Again, the responsibility of managers, supervisors, foremen must be changed from sheer numbers to quality.

It is management's responsibility to ensure that systems thinking is utilized throughout the Systems Development process. \n\nManagement complements the SDLC when it comes to Project Quality. It provides a method of managing these unique project efforts, which increases the odds of attaining cost, schedule and quality goals. \n\nThe primary benefits of a good Management Process will:\n\nProvide consistency of success with regard to Time, Cost, and Quality objectives\n\nEnsure customer expectations are met\n\nCollect historical information/data for future use\n\nProvide a method of thought for ensuring all requirements are addressed through a comprehensive work definition process\n\nReduce Risks associated with the project\n\nMinimize scope creep by providing a process for managing changes\n\n\nWithout strong management support, circumstances will affect our ability to satisfy the customer and meet our project and product objectives. Management that is willing to intervene, when asked to, will further increase the probability of successfully delivering a quality product.

This orientation has allowed him to explore and advocate some quite ‘utopian’ and abstract ideas (especially around systems theory and the necessity of bringing human values to the workplace). At the same time he has been able to mediate these so that they can be worked on and applied by people in very different forms of organization. His areas of special interest are said to focus on decentralizing the role of leadership in organizations so as to enhance the capacity of all people to work productively toward common goals. One aspect of this is Senge’s involvement in the Society for Organizational Learning (SoL), a Cambridge-based, non-profit membership organization. Peter Senge is its chair and co-founder. SoL is part of a ‘global community of corporations, researchers, and consultants’ dedicated to discovering, integrating, and implementing ‘theories and practices for the interdependent development of people and their institutions’. One of the interesting aspects of the Center (and linked to the theme of idealistic pragmatism) has been its ability to attract corporate sponsorship to fund pilot programmes that carry within them relatively idealistic concerns.

I think people in management have to be really careful.  Their power should not be what brings people to their religion.\n\nI think it's okay to answer questions and offer information at times.  But I don't think it would be right of me to use my job to teach people formally.  That's not what I'm getting paid for, and as a Christian, I'm expected to work for my employer as I would work for God Himself.  Diligently.\n\nThat having been said, if I am a good worker, and I am respectful of and helpful to others, am I not being a Christian influence in the workplace?  If someone is seeking God, I hope that they can see Him reflected in me.  I don't need to guilt people into what I believe.\n\n"A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still." ~  German proverb

In my experience, I think good work ethics depends on the company you work for and their corporate culture. If your Boss is a jerk, why the hell should you give him/her 110%. And in regards to helping out co-workers, there is a fine line between helping and being used. Define that line and you should be fine. But to my understanding, good work ethics is to do what you sign up for and do it to your best ability and if you decide to put a whole lot more into it, don't resent if it go un-noticed.

Companies want employees who are more than just present. I believe this refers to full participation in company events and initiatives, including social stuff after hours. It also means being willing to help out with things, even if it's not technically your responsibility. Basically, do you treat your company as if you have a stake in its success?

No.  An effective manager will provide positive and negative feedback.  However, the negative feedback should be constructive, not just "You suck at x, y, and z."  Employees need to know what is good and what is bad regarding their work.  If they never heard the negative side, they would never know what needs improving.

Yes, I think they did get their just due, so to speak.  More significantly, this is one big wake up call to Corporate America.  It says, People aren't going to tolerate being deceived.  Wake up Execs!  Run your company with the best interest of your people at heart.  You are accountable.  And the 'System' will not protect you.

really depends on the school, but my bias is YES - it's a great idea.  I am currently an MBA student at a good US program, and would've been skeptical about HR before coming to school.  Basically, here's my logic\n-HR, despite its critical role in biz generally lacks 'credibility' - an MBA focused on this will give you strategic logic, analysis, and reputation to manage this.\n-There really is some amazing "strategic logic" involved in building HR programs (i never thought so, but now believe it) therefore the courses will truly provide foundations which will guide you through tough tough situations....

Morals are things like the majority of people agree are not right i.e.'Do not kill' etc... Ethics have more to do with making the right/wrong choice in life that are in the grey areas of life. Example, you are attempting to help out a friend by submitting their resume to your boss but when you read your friend's resume you see clearly that your friend could easily take your job because your friend is more qualified then you. Do you give the resume to your boss and help out your friend that really needs a job or do you never submit the resume to your boss and lie to your friend about it?

All PhD qualified personnel, have immeasurable value, that cannot be quantified for arbitrary comparison. What society wants to evaluate is your competence to apply your knowledge for the good of society - the more good you do to society through application of your knowledge, the more you are likely to be rewarded by the societies concerned.
