* Referent power – generally known as personal power or charisma and comes from the high regard the individual is held by others should this falter or wane then this form of power vanishes, but is often employed in conjunction with other sources. Other sources of power include knowledge and personal contacts and alliances. Power is not the same as leadership, nor is it the same as authority. Conducting an appraisal is fraught with dangers for both the appraiser and appraise. Key amongst these is a failure to recognise

Without prior market penetration of an organization’s competetitors, the usefulness and effectiveness of properly marketing a new product or service can be quite burdensome. This is due to the fact that an organization runs a major risk of constantly striving to maintain its customer base, as the new type of product or service has not yet been introduced into the maintstream. Additionally, pricing may be an issue based upon: Should pricing be very low to attract new buyers?, or Should pricing be set high to offset initial entry into a new marketplace? These are the questions that an organization must face, but for the most part, being a
Learning Team A Week 4 Reflection MGT/311 May 18, 2014 Professor: William Conde Week 4 in MGT/311 class was informative. We learned how behavior can influence organizational structure, organizational culture, and power and politics. Power and political behavior can play a big role within an organization, because they are “natural processes in any group or organization” (Robbins & Judge, 2011, p. 420). Power refers to a capability that an individual has to influence the behavior of another person, so they will act in accordance with what that individual wishes. According to Robbins and Judge (2011), the bases of power can be grouped into two, formal and personal power (p. 421).
However, one of the greatest disadvantages of the formal organizational structure is that the layers of bureaucracy may hinder the decision-making process. Informal Characteristics ◦ The Cliffs Notes website says informal organizational structure is "defined by the patterns, behaviors, and interactions that stem from personal rather than official relationships." The informal organizational structure focuses on people and how they work together to get things done rather than focusing on the roles that exists within an org chart. "The grapevine" is an example of an informal organizational structure in which information flows without regard to reporting structures. Advantages and Disadvantages ◦ A great advantage of the informal organizational structure is that it

Influencing Factors The art of management is to get a diverse group of individuals to use their intelligence, skills and abilities to achieve organizational goals. That is a polite way of saying the job of management is to control the actions of others for the purpose of achieving another’s objectives. The problem is people do not like to be controlled or oppressed. Nobody seems to like a dictator. The most effective leaders seem to possess the ability to persuade others to cooperate and collaborate rather than dictate behavior.
Running Head: RUNNING STYLES TESTS How Learning Styles are used in Higher Education Name: University: Course: Tutor: Date: Learning styles incorporate various methods used the dissemination of knowledge and skills mostly in an education setting. Supporters of learning styles have suggested that learners require an interactive approach to learning, one that suits their style of learning. Therefore, teachers should adopt teaching practices that are in line with the needs of the student within the social, cultural and emotional precincts of the learners. It is therefore important to make learning as individual as possible (Kolbs, 1984). With regard to this, several theories have come up since the 1970s explaining different approaches to learning.
