19th century and early 20th century approaches to organizations and management focused on first structural considerations and then later on human factors. In the late twentieth century, the concept of organizations as entities composing a greater universally interacting system emerged in the literature.
Compare and contrast Frederick R. Taylor’s scientific management theory to that of Peter Senge’s and W. Ross Ashby’s theoretical perspective on systems theory and thinking in managing individuals and organizations as assessed through the works of these seminal authors.
Essay should be 7 pages double spaced (approximately 1700 words) with at least 7 peer reviewed journal citations from 2015 or more recent as references. -

Lewin’s change management model
Developed in the 1940s, Lewin’s change management model remains relevant because of its simple yet
effective structure. According to the change model’s namesake, Kurt Lewin, organizational change
management can be broken down into three smaller, more manageable stages:
Unfreeze
Change
Refreeze
A physicist by trade, Lewin used the example of turning a cube of ice into a cone of ice and applied it to
organizational change management.

Scenario
Bill is 48 years old and has repaired lawn mowers in his small shop in Fairview, Tennessee for the last eight years. He is about 30 miles from Nashville, Tennessee, and he is just 12 miles from Dickson, Tennessee. He has deliberately kept his business small to control costs and complexity. Last week, he received a bulletin from this leading tractor manufacturer that it is introducing a new model with a new computer-based monitoring system. Although he has dealt with limited applications of computer chips in these machines, this is a much more sophisticated application. He knows that several of his customers own this brand of mower and that they are likely to buy the new models. He wants to learn how to repair these computer-based monitoring systems. In the bulletin, the company announced a limited number of seminars at the manufacturing plant in Horicon, Wisconsin. It has also announced a series of Webinars and online training sessions for the new innovation. There is also a manufacturer’s service manual for the new models. Bill cannot take time off or afford to travel to the seminars.
Answer the following questions based on the scenario:
What do you think Bill should do to construct a learning plan? If he were to write one out, formally, what might it look like? How would you express his learning needs? What would his terminal performance objective look like?
What kinds of self-motivation does Bill have? Discuss ways in which Bill will apply elements of the affective domain in this learning project.
How can Bill apply the cognitive concept of metacognition and its extension, reflexivity, from constructivist theory? How do Piaget’s ideas on assimilation and accommodation apply to this example of adult learning?
What other elements or characteristics of constructivist learning theory might he apply here? How can he learn what he needs to learn as quickly and as thoroughly as possible?
Use research, and APA format to construct your response. Your paper should include a title page, abstract and reference page along with the content.

Influence of Media on Behavior – Since the inception of radio and television, scholars have…
Influence of Media on Behavior
1. Since the inception of radio and television, scholars have wondered whether what we hear in the media impacts our thoughts and decision-making. Further, does it make any difference whether or not we are directly paying attention to the content? Can there be subliminal influence on each of us? The internet and social media have only exacerbated the importance of these questions as “fake news” has littered the media landscape we all use every day.
This is especially poignant when discussing violence and has recently become an issue in the media again with the tragedy of school shootings occurring regularly across the U.S. As the survivors and politicians search for answers, the question naturally arises: Do the media, video games, music, and the internet influence violent behavior?
Post
a response to the following question:
Do you think media influences violent behavior? Explain your opinion and support it with evidence from at least two credible peer-reviewed journals.
Respond
to at least one colleague by providing an argument with supporting evidence that contradicts their opinion on media and violent behavior (your supporting evidence should be different than the resources you used in your initial post).
2. There are many social media platforms out there and many more are continuing to develop. If used correctly, they can be beneficial to criminal justice professionals. If you had to choose only one social media platform (Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc.) that a police department should use, which one would you choose the one social media platform a police department should choose. Explain why this platform is the best for police departments to use. -

WK86137 The Impact of Organizational Culture on Ethics in Corrections
The social environment in which a correctional facility exists influences the way it operates when dealing with inmates and employees. Viewing organizational life through the values embedded in its culture can help leaders create and sustain agencies of integrity. Administrative attention to the organizational culture of a correctional facility can promote ethical behavior among employees. Leaders in correctional facilities must have an understanding of how their organization’s culture might lead to potentially unethical policies and practices.
In this Assignment, you examine how a correctional facility’s culture influences ethical decision making in an organization.
The Assignment (2–3 pages)
Your submission should include the following:
· An explanation of how a correctional institution’s culture (e.g., norms, unwritten rules, customs, traditions) can influence the creation of ethical and potentially unethical policies and practices, and how those practices might impact inmates
· A description of a specific policy or practice that you think presents an ethical dilemma in corrections, and an explanation of how that specific policy or practice creates the dilemma
· An explanation of what steps corrections officials might take to maintain ethical conduct within a correctional facility -

Reducing Recidivism
For this Assignment, you will be provided with a scenario in which you are a correctional administrator in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Your warden instructs you to develop a multi-faceted, evidence-based approach to reducing recidivism and improve institutional behavior for inmates. The Assignment requires you to create a PowerPoint presentation of approximately 10 slides. Be sure to address ethical issues in corrections when researching and conceptualizing your evidence-based approaches, and consider them again when creating your PowerPoint presentation.
Scenario
: You are a correctional administrator in the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). You have over 20 years of experience in the BOP at various prisons. Your next assignment is going to be very difficult. You are being assigned to a federal prison that houses the worst-behaved federal inmates. This facility is known as a “SMU,” or Segregated Management Unit. All 1,100 prisoners have been placed at the SMU for serious infractions/offenses while at other prisons. The recidivism rate for the SMU inmates is twice as high when compared to all other federal prison inmates. In addition, SMU inmates commit a higher number of infractions while incarcerated, such as assaults on staff and other inmates. You have been asked by the SMU Warden to develop a multi-faceted, evidence-based approach to reducing recidivism and improving institutional behavior for the SMU inmates. Your plan should include three evidence-based practices. Several resources have been provided to assist you identifying the evidence-based practices.
Create a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation using the Walden University presentation template. In addition, include audio narration that addresses the following:
Introductory slide of your plan and goal(s) (1 slide)
Overview and explanation of evidence-based approach #1 (3 slides)
Overview and explanation of evidence-based approach #2 (3 slides)
Overview and explanation of evidence-based approach #3 (3 slides) -
