Research In Creative Management Styles :
A 60 page research-oriented paper discussing creative
management styles. There are organizations that have not
been able to make the transition from the traditional autocratic
or authoritarian (rather than the authoritative) style of management.
Today, creative management styles come in a variety of names:
situational contingency management, the transformational
approach, the cultural contingency approach, and value-based
leadership. All, however, have their roots in TQM. Organizations
that could not be successful in implementing TQM generally are not
successful in implementing any of these, either, because all,
including TQM, require a corporate culture that supports
creativity and a commitment to change, and values open
communication between workers and departments to the point
that they will defend it if necessary. This paper examines the
underlying problems preventing the formation and nurturing of
that corporate culture so necessary for sustaining any creative
management style. Bibliography lists more than 50 sources.

Women In The Plays Of Arthur Miller : A 40 page thesis
on
five plays by this well-known American playwright -- Death of
A Salesman from the 1940s, The Crucible and A View From
The Bridge from the 1950s, After The Fall from the 1960s, and
A Ride Down Mount Morgan from the 1990s. After analyzing
the four main types of female characters that appear in these
plays, the writer concludes that the tendency of much of
Miller’s work to focus on the inner thoughts of one male
protagonist gives little opportunity for the development of
female characterization. Bibliography lists 16 sources..
