IDEO’s most significant weakness centres around the fact that IDEO is spread across many different sectors of the economy, as seen above through a partial list of clients, as well as across several continents, as seen above through the list of office locations. While there is strength in diversification, the lack of focus and extremely broad approach can also be a weakness if resources are spread too thin or the company branches out too far beyond its core competencies.

In this essay I will be discussing the show the Office and its use of comedy to highlight sensitive issues in today’s society. Such topics as racism, sexism and harassment in the work place are very important, however pretty hard to talk about and arguably not discussed enough.

The show portrays some of life’s most awkward situations and not only does it make the audience laugh, but also delivers small dosages of life lessons. A comedic satire such as the “The Office” reinforces
Tenure is the length of time an employee has worked for an organization. This metric is calculated using: Total months “stayed” / Number of current employees (SAMHSA, n.d.). Rational: Average employee tenure is in close relationship with employee satisfaction and turnover rate indicators. As discussed earlier, highly satisfied employees have more commitment and loyalty to their organization and probably stay for a longer period with the same company. Giang (2013) says: "Tenure is how long someone's

A small, light purple room featuring purple chairs attached to foldable desks, sits on the third floor of the LIM college’s Maxwell Hall building looks out to see another wall to a building, similar to what you would see looking out most windows in New York City buildings.

There were
We sat there at the bar, our cocktails in hand, discussing work. The Swamp was a local bar we went to when we needed to relax from a stressful day, and today was definitely one of those days. “I can’t believe he left you with all that damn paperwork. Mark is the worse boss ever.” Nikki rolls her eyes and takes a sip from her martini. She clinks her long fingernails against the glass in her hand. “I can tolerate the paperwork. It’s the constant lurking around my desk that I hate. He’s so creepy
There are multiple sociology concepts in almost every film we watch. The one show that stuck out to me was “The Office” by Greg Daniels. The office is a show located in Scranton, Pennsylvania, about just “ordinary” life in the office, it is a considered a documentary of their life. It is supposed to be just the life in the office but we also get a glimpse of their life outside of the office. The main characters do not really change throughout the season, but one guy in particular Michael Scott (played

It gives details of how their sales work, their work ethic, motivation, as well as their personal lives. For this narrative I want to focus on one of the workers, Jim Halpert, and his unhappiness in this capitalistic position.

Edmund Burke once said “Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises, for never intending to go beyond promise, it costs nothing”.
