Critique and Review of “Black Rain”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper reviewing the novel and the film “Black Rain” and discussing its success or failure in artistic merit. “Black Rain” has a unique place in the post-war Japanese and world literature in that it does not focus on the politics surrounding or the immediate events after the atomic bomb on Hiroshima but instead focuses on the human issues and traditional values which were affected by the event for years afterward. Author Masuji Ibuse wrote the novel in 1966 and was not intending on selling the rights to a movie until he met with the pacifist film maker Shohei Imamura who in 1989 managed to make an accurate portrayal of the recollections of survivors as based on the works within Ibuse’s novel. Both the novel and the film are considered to be successful and unique of their humanist and traditionalist views of Japanese life.

Defining Organizational Change
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing some of the reasons for and mechanisms of organizational change. America's discovery of Japanese cars was the first real indication that American manufacturing would have to change in order to keep up, but it was discovered that accomplishing that change involved far more than just doing things differently than in the past. It was also necessary for management attitudes to change as well. Today, the principles described by Kurt Lewin in the 1940s are as true as they were then, and management at the most successful of companies has discovered that lasting and beneficial change occurs when management sets the stage, but employees lead the implementation of change.
