Define the concept of organizing in management.

-

  • Organizing is grouping the elements of an organization in the best possible manger. It is a process of defining the essential relationships among people, tasks and activities in such a way that all the organization's resources are integrated and coordinated to accomplish its goals efficiently and effectively.
  • Organizing is important for an organization in a number of ways. It provides work clarity by removing duplication and overlapping of efforts. It also ensures the effective allocation of resources and enhances communication among departments or units of an organization. The following are some of the influencing definitions of organizing. 
  •  Organizing is the process of creating functional structure of organization required to implement plans and decisions for attaining organizational goals. This is one of the most important basic functions of management More specifically, organizing is a process of determining and dividing the tasks, creating job positions and their link, assigning job responsibilities to the right position and allocating authority to make decisions regarding the jobs. Organizing creates shape of responsibility-authority relationship in the organization to ensure who has to do what and what decision can be made. Organizing function involves in designing jobs and defining responsibility and authority relationship. It ensures implementation of plans and strategies, utilization of organizational resources to achieve organizational goals.

Theo Haimann - "Organizing is the process of defining and grouping activities of the enterprise and establishing authority relationship among them.

" Freeman and Gilbert "Organizing is the process of arranging all allocation work, authority and resources among an organization's members so that they can achieve the organizational goals."

R.W. Griffin -"Organizing means grouping activities and resources in a logical fashion."

Joseph I. Massie - "Organization will signify as the structure and process by which cooperative group of human beings allocates its tasks among its members, identifies relationship and integrates its activities towards common objectives." 

Thus, organizing is deciding how best to do the organizational activities. It can be defined as a process of identifying, grouping and establishing relationship between activities with proper delegation of authority for orderly use of resources within the management system. It is the process of dividing and designing the jobs, setting the proper job relation, grouping the jobs to make the units and departments, assigning jobs to employees, allocating resources, and coordinating efforts within the organizational members. Without effective organizing, none of the other functions of management can be performed properly.

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?

  b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed are: 1. Roll-up on date from date id to year. 2. Roll-up on spectator from spectator id to status. 3. Roll-up on location from location id to location name. 4. Roll-up on the game from game id to all. 5. Dice with status= “students”, location name= “GM Place”, and year=2004

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the three dimensions time, doctor, and patient, and the two measures count and charge, where a charge is the fee that a doctor charges a patient for a visit. a) Draw a schema diagram for the above data warehouse using one of the schemas. [star, snowflake, fact constellation] b) Starting with the base cuboid [day, doctor, patient], what specific OLAP operations should be performed in order to list the total fee collected by each doctor in 2004? c) To obtain the same list, write an SQL query assuming the data are stored in a relational database with the schema fee (day, month, year, doctor, hospital, patient, count, charge)

Solution: a) Star Schema is shown in the figure below: b) First, we should use the roll-up operation to get the year 2004(rolling-up from the day then month to a year). After getting that, we need to use the slice operation to select (2004). Second, we should use roll-up operation again to get all patients. Then, we need to use the slice operation to select (all). Finally, we get a list of the total fee collected by each doctor in 2004. So, 1. roll up from day to month to year 2. slice for year = “2004” 3. roll up on patient from the individual patient to all 4. slice for patient = “all” 5. get the list of the total fees collected by each doctor in 2004 c) Select doctor, Sum(charge) From fee Where year = 2004 Group by doctor

Explain market-Oriented Cloud computing architecture.

  Market Oriented Cloud Computing (Mocc) As customers rely on Cloud providers to cover all of their computing needs, they will expect certain Qe from their providers to fulfill their objectives and continue their operations. Cloud providers must examine and satisfy the various QoS standards of each unique consumer as stipulated in unique SLAs. To do this, cloud providers cannot continue to install traditional system-centric resource management architectures that do not give incentives for them to share their resources while still treating all service requests as equal insignificance. Instead, market-oriented resource management is required to maintain the supply and demand for Cloud resources at market equilibrium, provide feedback in the form of economic incentives for both Cloud consumers and providers, and promote QoS-based resource allocation mechanisms that differentiate service requests based on their utility. The diagram depicts a high-level architecture for enabling market-...
