classical conditioning

Examples of classical conditioning in the following topics:

• Psychology of Purchasing

  • Classical conditioning was an early behaviorist model.
  • Behavioral patterns, then, were understood to consist of organisms' conditioned responses to the stimuli in their environment.

• Putting Chaku-Chaku into practice

  • Good maintenance not only involves operating most equipment and machinery at peak levels (anything less and the full potential of the machine is being wasted), it also requires keeping these items in optimal condition with scheduled inspections and maintenance.
  • Ensure that drive belts, couplings, chains and bearings are adjusted and in good condition,
  • This guideline is a classic building block of lean thinking.

• Additional suggestions for eliminating production waste

• New Product

  • A penetration strategy would generally be supported by the following conditions: price-sensitive consumers, opportunity to keep costs low, the anticipation of quick market entry by competitors, a high likelihood for rapid acceptance by potential buyers, and an adequate resource base for the firm to meet the new demand and sales.
  • A skimming strategy is most appropriate when the opposite conditions exist.
  • Video game systems, such as the Sony PS3, usually employ the classic new product pricing strategy, known as skimming.

• Principles of Organization Design

  • ., macro-economic conditions, geographic location, work culture, organization size, dependence on and implementation of technology)
  • The classic options for strategic groupings are to organize by:

• Remanufacturing (to as-good-as-new condition)

  • Remanufacturing to as-good-as-new condition is a three-step process whereby: (1) a used product is disassembled, (2) its parts are cleaned and repaired, and (3) the parts are reassembled to a sound working condition.
  • The term ‘sound working condition' is key because in some areas of the world, reassembled products made from used parts are considered new and come with the same guarantee and warranty as products made from virgin raw materials.

• Profit and Value

  • In both classical economics and Marxian economics, profit refers to the return of capital stock (means of production or land) to an owner in any productive pursuit involving labor, or a return on bonds and money invested in capital markets.
  • Said another way, value is how much a desired object or condition is worth relative to other objects or conditions.

• Classical Theory of Motivation

  • The classical theory of motivation includes the hierarchy of needs from Abraham Maslow and the two-factor theory from Frederick Herzberg.

• Reinforcement Theory

  • Reinforcement theory, or operant conditioning, is a implementation of cause and effect thinking into workplace motivation.
  • This theory relies on four primary inputs or aspects of operant conditioning, generated from the external environment.
  • Positive punishment: Conditioning at it's simplest, punishment is simply identifying a negative behavior and providing an adverse stimuli to dissuade future instances.
  • Negative punishment: Similar to negative reinforcement, negative punishment revolves around removing something to condition a response.
  • This chart demonstrates the various facets of operant conditioning, which can be framed via reinforcement and punishment (both positive and negative for each).

• It's not just photocopiers and carpets

  • The Carrier air-conditioning company in the USA, for example, leases cooling services to its clients rather than air conditioners.
  • (Hawken, Paul, Lovins, Amory, and Lovins, Hunter, Natural Capitalism) As with any leasing arrangement, ownership of Carrier's air-conditioning equipment is maintained by the company, which means that Carrier is highly motivated to keep its products in optimum condition.
