This is a question that depending on who you ask can get varied responses. Through the use of a literature review more elements can be brought to light that would support the idea that technical competency is a mediator and moderator of managerial effectiveness or that technical competency is not. Regardless of what one’s own opinion about the given topic is one can see through research and through this literature review that the findings result in a new hypothesis that further dives into this hypothesis and breeds further research. In a dissertation written by Sylvia J. Hysong in 2008 this hypothesis was addressed and can shed some light on if technical skill has an influence on the effectiveness of management. She tested this theory by breaking the essentials of the thought into several other hypothesis in which she then tested through the means of a 107 first-tier supervisor survey of supervisors working for a petrochemical and engineering company.

3.1.Evaluate own knowledge, performance and understanding against relevant standards.

In doing so, the author will cover the following areas: Are the goals and objective long-term or short-term; are the goals and objectives manifest or latent; determine which are objectives and which are goals; evaluate the agency’s goals and objectives for one specific program. Chamber and Wedel (2005) stated, “It is important to grasp the goals and objectives of a program so as to answer the question: What is the purpose of this program or policy” (Chap. 4, p.63). It is very important for an organization to explain their goals and objectives clearly. HUD does this very well.
During the Gilded Age, America was benefitting from the success of the Second Industrial Revolution and the growth of capitalism. While robber barons grew wealthy, however, industrial workers fell prey to harsh working conditions, scarce pay, and long work hours. In an effort to address these grievances, workers began to unionize and collectively voice their concerns. Despite their efforts, the labor unions of the late 1800s were unsuccessful in meeting their goals because of their inability to gain the governments’ support in the Great Railroad Strike, Homestead Strike, and Pullman Strike. Working conditions were harsh for the American industrial worker in the 1800s.
The economy is considered to be very unstable at the current time, and it is the duty of the United States government to do everything in their power to once again stabilize the once booming economy for the sake of the entire country and its citizens.

Although, this number has decreased by 2.1% from its peak in recent years, it is still believed that there is a long way to go. Prior to the recession unemployment rates fluctuated between 4% and 6% (www.bls.gov, 2012). This increase in the unemployment rate is having considerable impacts on the economy.
Children growing up in poverty face many disadvantages such as unhealthy levels of stress making it near impossible to successfully complete college, thus making it harder to escape their surroundings. The poverty rates in some European countries are much lower than in the United States because of programs they have put into place to help the poor and unlucky, leading one to think the government should once again re-declare the war on poverty. Krugman’s article not only shows percentages he also lets his readers know what the findings were from scientific studies. Living in the conditions of poverty is stressful for anyone, much less children. I see the effects that poverty has on many people every day, and always think one day that could be me.
Where do you see labour relations in Canada 50 years from now? Do you believe that unions will become weaker or will they become stronger? How will globalization affect Canadian unions? Traditionally, unions have fought hard to improve wages, benefits, hours of work, pensions, health and safety, job security and training for their members. The dramatic economic downturn in the world economy that hurt so many workers starting in 2008 only accelerated a decades-long trend toward more precarious jobs and the unstable hours, low wages, minimal benefits and insecurity that this work means for so many, as led decline in union membership and activities.
