Management failures Abstract This study investigates the potential of actor-network theory (ANT) for theory development on information technology project escalation‚ a pervasive problem in contemporary organizations. In so doing‚ the study aims to contribute to the current dialogue on the potential of ANT in the information systems field. While escalation theory has been used to study “runaway” IT projects‚ two distinct limitations suggest a potential of using ANT: First‚ there is a need for research

Senge ‚ learning organizations are “ Organizations where people continuously expand their capacity to create the results they really want ‚ where expanded and new patterns of thinking are developed‚ where collective goal is set free‚ and where people are continuously learning to see the whole together”. The basic needs for such organization is that in situations of continuous change only those are adaptive‚ flexible and productive will succeed. In order for this to happen‚ organizations need to find

Gattaca challenges the wisdom allowing genetic potential determined from birth to decide the future of an individual? Genetic potential. What does this phrase mean to our society? Simply an aspect of the future to most‚ a mere scientific term that means nothing to some‚ or it could be a devastating reality for others. The film Gataca poses this question and seeks to find the truth behind genetic potential and how it is used to determining the future of an individual. Through the character of Vincent

Introduction Molecules are constantly in motion due to thermal energy. Therefore‚ the molecules will move around and bump into each other. Because of this‚ molecules tend to spread out evenly into available space in a process called diffusion. Diffusion is the random process of molecules moving from areas of high concentration to low concentration‚ thus requiring no energy. Many of the substances that enter or leave the cell do so through diffusion. Osmosis‚ a type of diffusion‚ is the movement

Resting potential is created by a transport protein called the sodium-potassium pump. Resting potential occurs when ions are distributed unequally on the inside and outside of cells‚ and when cell membranes are selectively permeable to different ions. K+ is particularly important for the resting potential. The membrane is highly permeable to K+. In addition‚ the inside of the cell has a high concentration of K+ and the outside of the cell has a low concentration of K+. K+ will naturally diffuse

Osmosis and Water Potential Year 11 Emary Venter INTRODUCTION: The cell is the basic unit of living things‚ and is made up of multiple organelles. Organelles are membrane bound subdivisions‚ each specialised for a specific function. This experiment looks at the Plasma Membrane‚ which is a semipermeable layer surrounding the cell. It’s primary job is to control what goes in and out of the cell. Molecules can move across this membrane in either an active movement or a passive movement

as well as other policies such as exclusionary disciplinary practices that remove a minor from school for prolonged periods of time contribute to unruly behavior and influence these minors to become delinquents. As explained by Leiber‚ Peck‚ and Rodriguez‚ poverty is a major factor that is made worse when the offending youth is forced to miss extended time from school. Jackson (2014) argues that based on incarceration data in the USA‚ African-Americans and Latino students are targeted more frequently

Five Disciplines of Organizational Learning Introduction Peter Senge described learning organizations as places where “people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire‚ where new and expansive pattern thinking are nurtured‚ where collective aspiration is set free‚ and where people are continually learning to learn together. Each of these disciplines involves a body of theory and techniques that must be practiced in order for mastery to develop” (Senge 1990).
