Modelling. In general model is ‘A (small) finite description of an infinitely complex reality, constructed for the purpose of answering particular questions’ (Kuipers 1994). Even though in each scientific discipline the steps taken in the modeling process differs the general method modelling follows is: Step 1: Model Identification – this step aims at identifying the study objectives and the best method for modelling a particular event. Also this step involves defining the model boundaries which is
First, the supporting theory we show in this ad is AIDA model. AIDA is a model of communication that is designed to capture the process that firms go through to reach prospective buyers to sell their products and services. It is an acronym for Attention, Interest, Desire and Action that demonstrates the successive stages buyers pass through in a linear hierarchy. To be quick and direct to grab people’ attention, we use the picture of the main character of Pokémon to catch the reader eyes and make
The article discusses the role of change agents throughout change processes in communities. It highlighted their roles as a critical factor in social intervention. It mentioned that change agents might be trainers, counselors, teachers, consultants, or other helping workers. Mainly, the article focused on possible interventions available to change agents to help poor communities to improve their conditions. One of the major points discussed in the article was the power relations affecting each aspect
viable. Multi agent systems have the inherent ability to facilitate provision of an adequate decision support mechanism in an e-business setting. These multi –agent decision support systems are of particular assistance in processing large amounts of data, filtering out irrelevant information and eliminating cognitive biases. In this study, we attempt to explore the existing decision support mechanisms facilitating the e-business environment with respect to B2B and B2C segments. Several models have been
I currently work for Home Shopping Network as a sales agent through a third party company called West at Home. I have been working for them for almost two years now and am always learning something new in order to improve myself as a worker. Similar to any job working outside of the home, I have been evaluated on what my strengths and weaknesses are based on either a specific call or a certain number of calls. The supervisors who listen to these calls are known as Performance Assessment Liaison,
Principal-agent theory assumes that actors anywhere are governed by economic self-interest (Kassim and Menon, 2003). The question is then how principals can manage the self-interest of those empowered to act on their behalf, their agents, so that it is aligned with the purposes that the principals wish to achieve. Both conflicts of interests and the agents’ inherent access to key information are usually the sources of information asymmetry (Gailmard, 2012). In public policy, ‘principals’ are ultimately
privacy policy mainly concentrates in the following areas: (1) appropriate privacy policy models, architectures or solutions to increase the protection capacity of privacy policy; (2) architectures to implement privacy policy enforcement or compliance; (3) architectures or protocols that allow user and service providers to negotiate the privacy policy. 1.1 Privacy Policy Model/Architecture/Protocol Many models, architectures and protocols have been proposed to precisely define privacy policy and increase
are used to solve the TEP: genetic algorithm (GA), Tabu search (TS) and several heuristic and metaheuristic techniques. Those are called static scenarios. Dynamic scenarios are the one based on game theory which represents the behavior of different participants in the electricity market. Different games and models like cournot, Stackelberg, bargaining etc.. are recently used to obtain an optimal decision concerning TEP. This paper presents a non-cooperative game theory approach in order to solve
qualities of having a child for two reasons. Firstly, while having a child is universally epistemically transformative (as Paul claims) it is not universally personally transformative. Secondly, the idea that having a child is personally transformative is based on testimony, something that Paul warns us is an unreliable source of information. The concept of childbirth being epistemically transformative raises a few questions: is childbirth unique in being epistemically transformative, and can we ever know

cannot be controlled. The starting and stopping of outside change is unplanned and cannot be managed. On the other hand, within the scope of change management, there is opportunity to control, manage, start and stop the change using certain sets of models and tools in order to systemically change an entity from within. Some ubiquitously discussed ways to actually control change as discussed during the course of out learnings are as follows: Before even initiating change, one must establish requirements

1. Introduction The importance of internal audit has certainly raised up along with the transforming business environment. Nowadays internal audit standards and theories have been actively discussed, yet there are still many debates on the ambiguity of internal audit professions’ foothold and their duties. Moreover, the internal audit scandals have never been out of sight: FIFA (2015), Toshiba (2015), Libor (2012), Olympus (2012). Practitioners and scholars study the audit methods, the effectiveness
important. Robbins claimed that not all stress are negative and some may be a healthy stress as such, pressure of heavy workloads and tight datelines are the positive challenge that can enhance the quality and satisfaction of job. Robbins, referring to A Model of Stress (exhibit 18-9) identified three set of stress factors; environment, organisational and individual. Although Robbins confess that such level of stress may be functional and may lead to higher employee’s performance, the employees perspective
did suggest that the energy for change can be driven by the outside consultant or the new employees. Robbins outlines two models of the change process; Lewin’s classic three step model of change processes and Kotter’s eight-step plan, action research, and organizational development. Robbins, referring to Lewin, discusses that there are three steps in performing the change model. 1. Unfreezing the current procedure from both individual and organization; 2. Moving to the new change and 3. Refreezing
Theoretical Framework The theoretical framework for this project is adapted from Lippitt's change theory which is built on the concept of introducing a change agent to enact a plan in which to effect transformation. When patients are faced with the life-altering process of receiving a transplant, they are often confronted with significant changes to their everyday lives. Transplant patients are often confronted with a substantial amount of information that they must learn to maintain a satisfactory
began with the work of Abhijit V. Banerjee[5], Sushil Bikhchandani, David Hirshleifer, and Ivo Welch[6]. In the basic setting of the model, rational agents end up herding. This characteristic is a feature of even more general settings and can be rationaled by the following argument: Given a finite action space and a finite and imperfect signal space, rational agents eventually "heard" as a consequence of "Information cascade", while ignoring their own signal, each person imitates others' behavior[7]:221
The steps in the Fisher (2012) model are not meant to line up with Kotter (1995) steps, but signify how people psychologically deal with personal change as they move through the change process. It is important to include this human element in the change process as any change, however small, has the prospect to have a major bearing on an individual, their regard for their own interests and subsequent performance (Sabjanyi, 2006; Brisson-Banks, 2009). People struggle emotionally if there is a lack
The change agents of British Airways behaved like coaches. They deliberately shaped the BA’s capabilities, created the proper set of values and skills to reach the intended outcomes. During the implementation of change, John King and Colin Marshall acted like coaches

This paper will preview about the approaches like rational actor, organizational behavior and bureaucratic model. It is from the Allison’s Three Model which is has been introduced by Graham T. Allison. DISCUSSION Rational actor is a part of in doing a rationalist approach to foreign policy decision making. At every basic level, we assume that people are rational in doing every
