In class we have been discussing the analogy of perspectives. A perspective is a way of seeing, also thought of as a ‘point of view’.

No one perspective alone can define the world. Each perspective has its own distinctive strengths and blind spots. In class we have discussed different theories and analogies to better understand the complexity of perspectives.…

Running head: SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS Sustainable Solutions Paper Walmart has some of the best supply chain methods in the market, and is working to become an industry leader in sustainability. Despite this, there is much criticism of this ‘giant’, and an in-depth look of their organization from a sustainable lens will review their successes, failures and areas of opportunity. Senge (2008) provides a Sustainable Value Framework in which to evaluate the sustainability of a company. He says that in order for the company to be truly sustainable, it must be balanced in all four quadrants, (Senge, Smith, Kruschwitz, Laur, & Schley, 2008). The quadrants “above the line” include innovation and repositioning, and growth. “Below the line” are cost and risk reduction, and reputation and legitimacy. Those above the line generally are directed toward the future, where those below the line are focused on today. Walmart has done…
“Sustainability is about taking what we need to live now, without jeopardising the potential for people in the future to meet their needs.” (LandLearn NSW 2009) Environmental sustainability is very important to all countries in the world because all humankind is reliant on the environment to live therefore it is necessary to make our own environment sustainable. “Governments around the world have realised that procurement is an important means of reducing their own environmental impacts and, more broadly, helping facilitate market creation for greener products and services.” (The Victorian Government 2006, 7) Two countries…

The function of intelligence has existed since ancient and biblical times for the purpose of informing decision makers and leaders. Until quite recent times one of the unique capabilities of intelligence professionals was access to scarce information. However there has been a transformation in information domain over the last twenty years. Information is no longer a scarce commodity and access to many forms of information is relatively easy. This report will explore and discuss the dominant issues that exist, and demonstrate that technology itself is the root cause of many of these issues - such as the abundance of information, information management, bureaucratic and organisational siloing, technology substituting humans, the generation gap, virtual battles and enemies, and the increasing threats to our critical infrastructure - and that there is no simple or straightforward solution to a complex set of intertwined problems.…
