Authored by Shahid M Shahidullah

Many scholars believe that the nature of management and bureaucracy did not significantly change from what it was in the Egyptian civilization some ten thousand years ago, or in medieval church and kingdoms about one thousand years ago, or in the emerging days of industrialization about two hundred years ago. The older civilizations of Egypt, India, China, Greece, and Rome were built around complex bureaucratic organizations. The era of oriental despotism was vastly organized around hydraulic bureaucracies. But in no stage of civilization, man’s societal existence remained so deeply embedded into organizational bureaucracies as it is at the present time. A modern society has been rightly described as an “organization society” [1] and modern man as an “organizational man” [2]. The prototype of modern organizations emerged when medieval kingdoms began to disintegrate paving the way to the rise of modern states, and large-scale industrialization began to replace the traditional family-centered modes of production at the beginning of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Systematic studies on the nature of bureaucracy and management also began with the birth of social science in the nineteenth century.

Towards an Improved Bio-Resource Management System-Juniper Publishers

   Annals of Social Sciences & Management Studies-Juniper Publishers Opinion Bio-resource management is an issue that concerns sustainability of the global commons that humans depend on. This sustainability is sought to be ensured through reduction of environmental stressors that are generated through unplanned, unintended activities of humankind. Earth’s interlocked web of life is stressed through degradation in biotic (living environment including all organisms) and pollution in abiotic (physical environment like space, temperature, soil, air and precipitation) factors. These factors are involved in the production and consumption processes of energy and nutrient use in agriculture, industry and human services. Generally, there is a constant tussle between private and public use of bio-resources. There is difference of opinions over primacy of utilitarian economic imperatives of ‘wise-use’ of the environment by the agri-business and industrial sectors and the political-ethical imp

On Faith or Belief-Juniper Publishers

   Annals of Social Sciences & Management Studies-Juniper Publishers Introduction At the celebration of the 40th anniversary of China’s reform and opening in December 18, 2018, President Xi Jinping said, “Faith, conviction, and confidence are vital at all times. Small to one person, one collective, big to a political party, a nation, a country, as long as there is faith, conviction, confidence, it will become more and more courageous and brave, otherwise it will be defeated and self-destructed” [1]. But when I asked the graduate students who came to me for an interview the question what your faith or belief is, most people usually answered me that “I don’t have a faith”. Faith and conviction are the contents taught in the philosophy curriculum. From this phenomenon, at least two problems can be revealed. First, the philosophy taught at school and university was not accepted by them and did not become their faith or belief. Second, they might think that philosophy is useless, so the
