Organizational Change and Development (Managing Change and Change Management) © Copyright Carter McNamara, MBA, PhD, Authenticity Consulting, LLC. Adapted from the Field Guide to Consulting and Organizational Development and Field Guide to Consulting and Organizational Development with Nonprofits Today, teams and organizations face rapid change like never before. Globalization has increased the markets and opportunities for more growth and revenue. IS/LM model The IS curve moves to the right, causing higher interest rates (i) and expansion in the "real" economy (real GDP, or Y). The model was developed by John Hicks in 1937,[4] and later extended by Alvin Hansen,[5] as a mathematical representation of Keynesian macroeconomic theory. Between the 1940s and mid-1970s, it was the leading framework of macroeconomic analysis.[6] While it has been largely absent from macroeconomic research ever since, it is still the backbone of many introductory macroeconomics textbooks.[7] History[edit] The IS/LM model was born at the econometric conference held in Oxford during September, 1936.

La Prima Guerra Mondiale L'Inghilterra, la maggiore potenza navale, industriale e coloniale del mondo, male sopportava l'aspra concorrenza commerciale della Germania che, sotto la guida dell'imperatore Guglielmo II, si era impegnata in una corsa agli armamenti navali, allo sviluppo industriale, alla conquista dei mercati internazionali e all'ingrandimento del suo impero coloniale, mirando chiaramente alla supremazia ed all' egemonia nel continente europeo. La Russia, fermata dal Giappone nel 1905 nelle sue mire espansionistiche in Oriente, concentrò di nuovo la sua attenzione sulla penisola balcanica, scontrandosi con gli interessi dell'Austria che, spalleggiata dalla Germania, giocava anch'essa in quel settore le sue carte. La Francia, in fine, dal 1870, anno della sconfitta di Napoleone III, non aveva ancora abbandonato la sua ansia di rivincita nei confronti della Germania ed il desiderio di riacquistare i territori dell'Alsazia e della Lorena che aveva dovuto cedere dopo la guerra franco prussiana.
Change Management - Managing Change Articles on change management process. Benefits of Being Adaptable to Change in the Workplace There is no permanency in the job market anymore, and employers are hiring candidates who can manage more than one domain of work, and not be constrained by job descriptions.

Investment and Aggregate Demand Readers Question: What are the effects of increased investment on aggregate demand in the short term and the long term. Investment means capital expenditure (e.g. purchasing machines or building bigger factory)Investment is a component of AD. – AD+ C+I+G+X-M.Investment spending takes about 15% of AD; it is not as significant as consumer spending which is 66%. If Investment increases, then ceteris paribus, AD will increase. However, it depends on the economic circumstances. e.g. if there was a situation of falling house prices and lower consumer spending, increased investment may be insufficient to increase AD.
The Emerging Revolution in Game Theory The world of game theory is currently on fire. In May, Freeman Dyson at Princeton University and William Press at the University of Texas announced that they had discovered a previously unknown strategy for the game of prisoner’s dilemma which guarantees one player a better outcome than the other. That’s a monumental surprise. Theorists have studied Prisoner’s Dilemma for decades, using it as a model for the emergence of co-operation in nature. This work has had a profound impact on disciplines such as economics, evolutionary biology and, of course, game theory itself. The new result will have impact in all these areas and more.

Apple Versus the Strategy Professors - Justin Fox by Justin Fox | 10:00 AM January 29, 2013 Someday, Apple’s now 11-year-long run of nearly unbroken triumph (I’m dating it to the launch of the iPod in November 2001) is going to end. That is just the way of the business world. Real wage - Wiki Real wages in the US from 1964 to 2004 have fluctuated. They have remained mostly stagnant over this period of time. U.S. productivity and average real earnings, 1947-2008 Despite difficulty in defining one value for the real wage, in some cases a real wage can be said to have unequivocally increased. This is true if: After the change, the worker can now afford any bundle of goods and services that he could just barely afford before the change, and still have money left over.
TIME: We Are All Keynesians Now (See Cover) The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Keynesian Economics Keynesian economics is a theory of total spending in the economy (called aggregate demand) and its effects on output and inflation. Although the term has been used (and abused) to describe many things over the years, six principal tenets seem central to Keynesianism. The first three describe how the economy works. Keynesian economics - Wiki The theories forming the basis of Keynesian economics were first presented by the British economist John Maynard Keynes in his book, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, published in 1936, during the Great Depression. Keynes contrasted his approach to the aggregate supply-focused 'classical' economics that preceded his book. The interpretations of Keynes that followed are contentious and several schools of economic thought claim his legacy. Keynesian economists often argue that private sector decisions sometimes lead to inefficient macroeconomic outcomes which require active policy responses by the public sector, in particular, monetary policy actions by the central bank and fiscal policy actions by the government, in order to stabilize output over the business cycle.[2] Keynesian economics advocates a mixed economy – predominantly private sector, but with a role for government intervention during recessions.

Keynes, Wage and Price 'Stickiness,' and Deflation The General Theory and the Current Crisis: A Primer on Keynes’ Economics Intro | Pt. I | Pt. II | Pt. Theory of Employment (a) Structural Unemployment: It is also known as Marxian unemployment or long-term unemployment. It is due to slower growth of capital stock in the country. The entire labour force cannot be absorbed in productive employment, because there are not enough instruments of production to employ them. (b) Seasonal Unemployment: Seasonal unemployment arises because of the seasonal character of a particular productive activity so that people become unemployed during the slack season. Occupations relating to agriculture, sugar mills, rice mills, ice factories and tourism are seasonal. (c) Frictional Unemployment: It arises when the labour force is temporarily out of work because of perfect mobility on the part of the labour.
