Organizational Environmental Uncertainties
From the genesis of management studies it has been recognized that organizations do not operate in a vacuum. In the seminal work, The Functions of the Executive, Chester Barnard (1938) theorized that an organization’s survival was dependent on its ability to sustain a balance with its external environment by readjusting its internal processes to match the various elements in the environment (Barnard, 1938, p. 6). In recognition of Barnard’s observation that firms must maintain equilibrium in an ever-changing environment, a considerable body of literature has developed that is devoted to conceptualizing and comprehending the external environment and its role in management theory.

Choose Your Friends Wisely

Asking questions about what is being spewed into the air that is breathed, dumped into the water what is drunk, or absorbed into the food that is eaten has become commonplace.

The People Advantage of Being High Tech
It is a strange anomaly that in this modern technological age, many firms remain firmly entrenched in traditional work practices, requiring employees to be present in an office environment where they are ‘visible’ at all times. It is this ‘mistrust’ that many employers hold regarding home-based workers ‘skiving’ if they cannot be seen that holds back many such companies. Such employers miss out on a wealth of knowledge, skills and experience by sticking to these traditions as more and more employees gravitate towards companies that do offer a more beneficial work-life balance. A company that takes advantage of todays technology opens up a whole new avenue of opportunity
Balancing Work and Life
A major explanation for stress has been uncertainty in the workplace as a result of increased competition, changing local and international trade regulations, merging of corporations and technological advances. These changes have been experienced nationally and locally, Idaho included. For example, Micron's production and profits are directly affected by business practices and turmoil in East Asia. Zilog, Hewlett-Packard, Ore-Ida Inc. and other corporations constantly make major business adjustments to be profitable in an emerging and unpredictable environment.

However, by sharing a few standard accounting concepts with you, I hope I’ll motivate you to perhaps take a little bit closer look at the financial statements your CPA slides across your desk next month.
