Initiation and effective management of planned organizational changes remains one of the most important aspects of strategic management, but despite the existence of a wealth of empirical and theoretical information on organizational change, the rate of success for such initiatives remains dismal. According to Kotter (2007), upwards of 80% of organizational change initiatives end in failure, with an estimated 50% of such plans collapsing before the actual implementation stage. Erwin & Garman (2010) observes that less than 38% of planned organizational change initiatives were successful, while only ...

Introduction

The extant record on contemporary human biology indicate that relative to other primates, the life history hallmarks of modern humans diverge in many advantageous ways.

Over the last decade, a mounting body of scientific research has simultaneously called into question and advanced the prevailing scientific consensus on the origin and development of the genus Homo, generally, and the foundations for the identifying ...

However, this belief could not hold any water when the Great Depression started in the economy. It was at this time when economists wanted a more rational way of formulating economic policies.
