existence

Examples of existence in the following topics:

• Alderfer's ERG Theory

  • Alderfer's ERG theory, based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, outlines three core needs: existence, relatedness, and growth.
  • ERG Theory posits that there are three groups of core needs: existence (E), relatedness (R), and growth (G)—hence the acronym "ERG."
  • The "existence" needs describe our basic material requirements for living.

• Transactional Versus Transformational Leaders

  • While transactional leadership operates within existing boundaries of processes, structures, and goals, transformational leadership challenges the current state and is change-oriented.
  • Transactional leadership promotes compliance with existing organizational goals and performance expectations through supervision and the use of rewards and punishments.
  • Transactional leaders work within existing an organizational culture, while transformational leaders emphasize new ideas and thereby "transform" organizational culture.

• Common Targets of Organizational Change

  • Prior to launching a cultural change initiative, a company should carry out a needs assessment to examine the existing organizational culture and operations.
  • A company must clearly identify the existing culture and then design a change process to implement the desired culture.
  • Organizational change management should begin with a systematic diagnosis of the existing situation in order to determine the organization's need for and ability to change.

• Types of Innovation

  • Generational innovation involves changes in subsystems linked together with existing linking mechanisms.
  • Incremental innovations improve price/performance advancement at a rate consistent with the existing technical trajectory.
  • Radical innovations advance the price/performance frontier by much more than the existing rate of progress.

• Employee Orientation

  • Orientation tactics exist to provide new employees enough information to adjust, resulting in satisfaction and effectiveness in their role.
  • The underlying goal of incorporating these varying onboarding tactics is to provide the employee enough information to adjust, ultimately resulting in satisfaction and effectiveness as a new employee (or an existing employee in a new role).

• Key Behaviors of Transactional Leaders

  • Transactional leaders seek to maintain compliance within existing goals and expectations and the current organizational culture.
  • Focus on increasing the efficiency of established routines and procedures and show concern for following existing rules rather than making changes

• Social Responsibility Audits

  • In most countries, existing legislation regulates only a fraction of accounting for socially relevant corporate activity.
  • Little consensus exists about the definition and use of metrics to evaluate social impact.

• Measuring Organizational Performance

  • While there are a wide variety of perspectives on controlling performance, each more or less appropriate depending on the objectives and industry of the organization, a few key metrics exist.
  • Customer satisfaction and/or retention - It is much cheaper to keep existing customers than to find new ones.

• Sourcing Technology

  • Technology sourcing involves isolating and implementing new innovations within an existing business framework.

• Introduction to Entrepreneurship

  • Many kinds of organizations now exist to support would-be entrepreneurs, including specialized government agencies, business incubators, science parks, and some non-governmental organizations.
  • Innovative thinking allows for so-called disruptive innovations—innovations which make leaps and bounds over existing products.
