Coming to IBM changed Gerstner’s outlook on how important culture factors in to the success of a company. He states “until I came to IBM, I probably would have told you that culture was just one among several important elements in any organization’s makeup and success—along with vision, strategy, marketing, financials, and the like” but later states “I came to see, in my time at IBM, that culture isn’t just one aspect of the game—it is the game” (Gerstner, 2002, pg. 181-2). Cultural change at IBM
International Business Machines, better known as IBM, is one of the worlds largest technology companies, currently ranking at number twenty in the fortune five-hundred. IBM was founded by Thomas J. Watson, not from scratch, but through the merging of three, already prominent, computer companies.

Named after IBM’s first CEO Thomas J. Watson, Watson is a supercomputer able to answer questions posed in natural language. It first became famous in early 2011 for beating a couple of the best players of Jeopardy in a 3 day streak game. He beat Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, the first had 74 winnings in a row and the second had earned a total of $3.25 million. At the time Watson was about the size of a room. It was hot and very noisy because of the cooling systems. He was represented in the room

Watson can do more than just answer questions in a game but rather be useful in any types of business and can also be used for scientific research and discoveries. With its growing platform, developers have been enhancing its capabilities

According to this quote, “An English schoolmaster, J. Thomas Looney went looking for Shakespeare, After years of searching through old documents, Looney came up with a man names Edward De Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford , who lived from 1550-1604,” (Austin Para. 8), It is strong evidence. It means that Looney

The organisations culture also includes the experiences, expectations, values and expectations that holds an organisation together. In relation to IBM’s culture, Thomas J. Watson played a big role in the successful cultural heritage breathed at IBM today. Watson introduced “THINK,” as IBM’s slogan and it did not have any particular meaning. Watson believed that when people would see “THINK,” they would find out what

possess the virtues of humility and respect for the gods. Supporting this view is Herbert J. Muller, who in his essay “How Sophocles Viewed and Portrayed the Gods,” maintains that Sophocles in his tragedies condemns selfish or tyrannical pride as the tragic flaw in his heroes: “He [Sophocles] does not plainly condemn their pride unless, as in the Creon of Antigone, it is purely selfish or tyrannical” (56). E. R. Dodds says: “I shall take Aristotle as my starting point. . . . From the thirteenth chapter
Child brides are often forgotten in the midst of everything going on in our world. Did you know 1 in 3 girls in the developing world are married by age 18? Or that 40% of girls in Sub-Saharan Africa are married as children? That’s two in every five girls! Molly Melching, a cultural entrepreneur, is doing everything she can to educate and prevent young girls from being stripped of their childhoods and forced into marriage. While Melching was a student at the University of Dakar, her interest in working
The Deeper Meaning of Sight and Eyes in Sophocles' Oedipus The King In Sophocles' play, "Oedipus The King," the continuous references to eyes and sight possess a much deeper meaning than the literal message. These allusions are united with several basic underlying themes. The story contains common Ancient Greek philosophies, including those of Plato and Parmenides, which are often discussed and explained during such references. A third notion is the punishment of those who violate the law of
of Heart of Darkness quite different from Conrad's. The redefinition of terms made by the three critics (Karl, Thomas, and Miller) increases in subtlety and danger. Karl is brazen in his redefining of metal and few, and he blatantly disregards Conrad's text in redefining artistic. By shifting from synonym to synonym in a redefining of lies and the reason for Marlow's hatred of them, Thomas is able to conclude that, in the end, Marlow accepts lies. Miller puts more distance between his varying

Investigating the Low IQ of Racists Studies going back over 50 years have repeatedly arrived at the same conclusion -- racists have lower IQs than non-racists. The average intelligence quotient (IQ) of all members of the human race is 100 on the Stanford-Binet scale. The average IQ of racists is up to 4 IQ points less than this (Montagu 1952 & 1988, Allport 1946, Frenkel-Brunswick and Sanford 1945). The reasons this is true are not entirely clear. Does racism attract the unintelligent or do
