Critique: Defining Moments by Joseph L. Badaracco, Jr. Synopsis The book Defining Moments analyzed the various philosophical ideologies that provide managers a guideline for making critical business decisions. The book examines three different managers in specific situations where a right versus right conflict is presented before them. Chapter by chapter each situation is examined and compared to a particular philosophy that was applied to the outcome. Steve Lewis, Peter Adario, and Edouard Sakiz face different pivotal moments that will require each to make a decision that will define their and/or their company's values. Each decision made says some things about the person that has made it.

Explain the difference between the Sociological Imagination, as described by C. Wright Mills and common-sense explanations. Then through the use of examples show how each approach would explain one of the following topics. The sociological imagination and common sense explanations have contrasting ideas on many topics such as education success and failure and sexuality. In this essay I am going to discuss and explore both the sociological imagination and common sense and how each of these explains the concept of education success and failure. First of all I am going to explain what exactly the sociological imagination and common sense explanations are, and then go on to discuss how each justify educational outcomes.

Is Collaborative Care a component of high quality care or an out of date political strategy? In this assignment various definitions of what collaboration is, along with other words and phrases used to refer to this type of work will be touched upon. An insight of how collaborative work came about will be inspected, as it will look at the key developments in the past. Theories of collaboration working will be explored and there will be extensive examination on a case study which will identify the weaknesses and failures of collaborative working. The key stages of the policy process will be illustrated by using Easton’s model and discussion on how and why policies fail within in each stage.
Fayol vs Mintzberg, who is right? The theoretical models of management presented by Henri Fayol and Henry Mintzberg respectively, bear clear and striking differences in how they explain the “changing nature of management and leadership”(Brooks, 2009). To argue whether the image displayed by Fayol is superior to that of Mintzberg I will examine the strengths and weaknesses of the differing models and compare, as well as with the opinions of other theorists. This will allow me to conclude which image is superior and in what senses the descriptions of management established by Mintzberg are ineffective. In this essay I will argue that while it is clear that the concepts of Fayol have been largely superseded by modern descriptive views such as those of Mintzberg and Kotter, he laid out the foundations so to speak (remove this) that allowed modern thinkers to develop their theories in greater detail.
