Full textBergtäckter uppfyller viktiga funktioner eftersom de producerar olika typer av stenkross, cement och asfaltsprodukter nödvändiga för alla typer av byggnationer såsom vägar, tunnlar, broar och byggnader och dess underhåll. Bergtäckt och vägarbetsprocessen består likt en industriell produktionsanläggning av sekventiella aktiviteter för att producera slutprodukten. Men i motsats till moderna produktionsanläggningar så är inte alla aktiviteter och maskiner styrda mot genomflödet för anläggningen, vilket gör att aktiviteter med överkapacitet genererar kostnader i form av lager och onödig resursåtgång. Detta faktum indikerar en potential i produktivitetsförbättring för dessa segment, men också olösta utmaningar. Den här uppsatsen utreder hur den inom produktionsteknik välkända Lean filosofin tillsammans med den senaste utvecklingen av trådlösa styrsystem kan användas för att förbättra produktivitet och säkerhet för bergtäckts och vägarbetssegmentet. Det huvudsakliga bidraget är identifierade förbättringar av produktivitet och säkerhet i den operativa verksamheten, dess användarfall, systemdesignens komponenter, utmaningar och begränsningar vid introduktion av trådlösa styrsystem. Resultatet inkluderar redogörelsen av en utvecklad och demonstrerad metodik baserad på Lean - värdeflödesanalys för att identifiera slöseri i operativ verksamhet inkluderande mobila maskiner och fordon. Dessutom undersöker och utvärderar uppsatsen prestandan och användbarhet av den senaste utvecklingen av trådlösa kommunikationssystem baserat på ad-hoc nätverk för vägfordon. De övergripande systemkraven identifieras och nödvändiga avvägningar diskuteras i form av systemdesign, kommunikationsprestanda, kostnad, energibesparingar och säkerhetsförbättringar för segmenten.

Full textThis study seeks to contribute to our understanding of the problem of effectively encouraging historical thinking by (a) evaluating, and modifying Wineburg's heuristics for historical thinking for applicability to the problem-solving activities historians use at historic sites; (b) establishing the efficacy of a hypermedia-based education program Tories, Timid, or True Blue? at the Old North Church in Boston, Massachusetts, for encouraging historical thinking in middle- and high-school teachers (c) determining the amplifying effect that the combination of the use of multiple documents and the historic site from which they are derived ha on historical thinking. Results suggest that this combination of activities does lead teacher users to reason in ways that suggest more sophisticated historical reasoning. However, considerable attention is paid to the way in which historians and teachers think differently about the historic sites they encounter and how the overlaps therein might be used a the foundation for encouraging effective partnerships between historians and teacher a co-equal partners in improving history education.

Harman, Kerry. "Re-thinking workplace learning : worker subjectivity/ies as sites of alignment and resistance /." Electronic version, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/2100/542.
Full textThe concern of this thesis is the way workplace learning is able to be known and spoken about and the effects of the contemporary privileging of an experiential learning discourse in the workplace. Following an analytic method outlined by Foucault, I explore a field of multiple and mobile force relations between professional developers, trade teachers, workplace learning academics, senior managers, organisational consultants and organisational learning theorists, and the purposes to which discourses of workplace learning might be put. The research site for the study was a recent industry-university collaboration that explored workplace learning in a large public sector organisation. Using various organisational texts including: interview transcripts from workers participating in the industry-university research project, documents produced during the project, documents produced by a Professional Development Unit (the industry partners on the project), and academic texts on organisational learning, I examine the circulation and intersection of different workplace learning discourses. I also examine the positioning, position taking and resistances around the subject position of ‘the workplace learner’ in a workplace. A number of Foucauldian themes guide the analyses in this thesis including: power as multiformed, power as relational, the distribution of power, multiple subjectivities, and subjectivity as a site of resistance. This enables an examination of workplace learning discourses as instruments of power, but also as providing points of resistance. This thesis makes a significant contribution to knowledge in the fields of organisational learning and workplace learning by foregrounding complex mechanisms whereby technologies of power interplay with technologies of the self. These citings/sitings/sightings of power and subjectivity have implications for professional development practices and the ‘management’ of workplace learning, as well as the practices of workplace and organisational learning researchers.
Lemos, Helena Maria Roennau. "The dark side is the bright side, in Robinson Crusoe : a transdisciplinary reading of Daniel Defoe's novel." reponame:Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da UFRGS, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/10183/7922.
Full textThis study proposes a twenty-first-century reading of Robinson Crusoe, by British writer Daniel Defoe, aiming to identify the reasons why the story of the castaway who lives on an uninhabited island for 28 years has remained remarkably popular in the Western world for almost three centuries. The reading is a drill on Complex Thinking, as defined by French epistemologist Edgar Morin, one of the pillars of Transdisciplinarity. This approach consists of the identification of patterns and interrelationships among elements inside the text and elements external to it, in the light of a number of disciplines involved in the study. Complex Thinking connects empirical/logical/rational knowledge to symbolic/mythological/magical wisdom. The study starts with a review of the career of the book, considering the founding texts which might have influenced the creation of Robinson Crusoe, and the myriad of mimetic texts that followed its publication, giving birth to a literary subgenre, the Robinsonade. A glance at the life of Defoe is also offered, so as to illustrate the context of a European world of radical scientific, political and social changes. Contexts and the critical heritage of the work are put together with symbolic data that prove relevant for the research on the imaginary inscribed in the novel. Chapter three acknowledges the aid of a number of studies in the fields of philosophy of science, analytical psychology, mythology, anthropology and religion, which enabled me to interrelate diverse levels of reading. Chapter four offers my transdisciplinary reading of Robinson Crusoe, in which I endeavor to demonstrate that the continued popularity of the novel derives from its capacity to convey concealed meanings connected with elements constitutive of the Imaginary of the Western world.

Full textThere is a lot of research and literature on how design, both aesthetic and strategic, can be applied in practice as a communication tool. However, the research and literature does not clarify whether the application of design as a communication tool is industry specific or generally valid for all types of companies. Companies can use design as a communication medium to communicate their brand identity to consumers, so that their view of the brand image becomes equated with the brand identity. If they succeed, the company reaches a strong brand. The purpose of this thesis is to examine and compare how companies in different industries can use design, in the form of aesthetic and strategic design, with the intention to communicate their brand identity to its consumers and to create a strong brand. The thesis is qualitative in nature and consists of individual interviews and focus groups. The individual interviews and focus groups were conducted with key persons from selected companies, their design partners and their customers. The collected data were analysed using a modification of the Corporate branding model and other, more specific, models and theories as a theoretical framework. In the final discussion the authors compare if the use and effect of aesthetic and strategic design as a communication tool differ between companies in different industries, and whether the fact that they operate in different industries has an effect. The use of strategic design and design thinking was different, since the service company (Sturehof) used it consistently, while the product company (Svenskt Tenn) didn’t reach out with communication through design thinking. The effect was not compared since the use differed. The use of aesthetic design differed little between the various companies, but the effect differed more. The authors' explanation for this is that consumers do not set equally high standards and expect the same degree of aesthetic design in a restaurant as they do at a furniture store. Design of a product company in the interior decorating industry was considered as a natural concept, but design of a service company in the restaurant industry was considered a competitive advantage. In conclusion, the authors mean that this thesis demonstrated that design, regardless of industry, should be used in its entirety with both strategic and aesthetic design to achieve a strong brand.

Full textThis pilot study aims to test how recommended methods to promote students’ metacognitive thinking can be used. Metacognition is about “learning how to learn” and is related to conceptions like feedback, self-regulation and formative assessment. Research shows that students that get training in metacognition increase their performances. One of the goals according to the Swedish Curriculum for the compulsory school, preschool class and the recreation centre 2011/2017 is that students shall develop the ability to assess their results. I have examined how students in grade seven answer and apprehend metacognitive questions in the compulsory subjects Art and Swedish. The students answered metacognitive questions at three different times: when planning, when carrying through and when evaluating the task. In connection to answering the questions they also answered a questionnaire about their conception of the metacognitive questions. The intention is to use the result of the pilot study to prepare for a larger study. A qualitative research method has been used in this study. The result show that it’s substantial that the teachers find out about the students different preunderstanding of the metacognitive questions. The majority of the students find the metacognitive question useless, but for different reasons. If the students don’t understand the questions they think that the questions are something in addition to the task. If the students have a high metacognitive preunderstanding they will consider the questions as redundant. Most students thought that the metacognitive questions took time from the task they were supposed to do. Some students expressed great dissatisfaction, big frustration and irritation over the questions. To be able to train metacognitive thinking methodically with desired effect the students have to be motivated. A key factor is that the students understand what the training is supposed to leading. The teacher has to work in different ways with different groups of students with this.

“Construction cost” is that every investor wants to minimize; on the other hand, every investor wants to maximize “net profit”. Hence, it is valuable to study how to achieve “minimum construction cost and maximum net profit”. Many studies focus on reducing the cost but their approach and analysis are not on the base of real practice on the construction site. This research aims to employing site experience of the researcher and the survey of expert’s interview to understand the effective factors in reducing the cost to a reasonable level. The questionnaire includes the following information: A. The management of the construction company; B. The control of the volatile basic-unit labor; C. Cost of execution. This study uses Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) tool as the method to analyze the collected thirteen cases. It shows that the effective factors in reducing the cost. The results are arranged in the order of effectiveness: 1. The establishment of prompt and the effective reward system; 2. The separation of power of the company and the work-site purchase from the human resource office, but under a centralized control; 3. Cautious selection of contractors, who can grow with the company; 4. An authoritative budget system; 5. The control of personnel in an effective scale to reduce labor cost; 6. The collaboration among the departments of construction, purchase, and sales; 7. The improvement of working conditions and work morale to encourage effective work; 8. The establishment of strategic alliance under the principles of the scale of the cases; 9. Within a reasonable scope, the reduction of work schedule to reduce the management cost; 10. The training of laborers in technical work to achieve the goal of the division of labor. The first effective factor, “the establishment of prompt and the effective reward system” shows 0.4618 in AHP. The second in line, showing 0.3370 in AHP, is “the separation of power of the company and the work-site purchase from the human resource office, but under a centralized control”.

Five elements are based on the I-Ching theory, which considers nature to be composed of five elements. With the rise and fall of the five elements, nature has changed, and it will make the universe circulate. This study combines the systems thinking perspective of five elements to construct the tea site design of the tea art. The design is based on the five elements and the color representations they represent, and they are used to grow each other to form a tea site design. At the same time, the operational process and case verification are constructed. The results of the study show that the construction of the operational process ensures that the operations are in line with practical needs. The user can grow the tea site design in an easy to understand and simple way with the principle of five elements of mutual growth.

This study research is intended to discuss my works from 2002 to 2005 and the process of creation from the viewpoint of “site, selection, ingression.” From this multiple and wider perspective, I hope to take a close look at the genuineness of the current society as a site in order to throw some insights from what I have learned. The main research methods employed in this research are interpretative analysis, introspective analysis, comparative analysis, and art practice. Through the theories and practice interaction, the style and content of the artist’s work is interpreted and the viewpoint of creation “site, selection, ingression” is formulated. Chapter Two is mainly about basing. The nature of the creator is examined in different perspectives. The concept of “site” is to reflect on by employing varied perspectives of the behavior, condition, and issues of the creation. Chapter Three discusses the idea of selection and ingression and the relevant issues involved in contemporary art to test and verify the arguments I proposed in my art. In Chapter Four, the focus is placed on the interpretation of my work and process of creation. By introducing social, aesthetic, philosophic, and art psychological theories, a comprehensive analysis is carried out to discuss the issue of art creation; the practical experience of the artist’s creation process also helps to test and verify the interaction between creation viewpoint and the hands-on art creation process. My recent works tend to focus on the discussion of events and space, using analogic device to transform motionless pictures, videos, and object arrangements into unique, putting into play, and interactive forms. Such approach is indeed a footnote which records my observation of the changing society and reflects the real world. In addition to the analysis and interpretation of the viewpoint—site, selection, and ingression, I hope that, by putting my own work in this research, I can help to bring life and new ideas to the viewpoint of site, selection, and ingression so that Taiwan’s modern art field can play a role in relevant discussions of social site.

Full textTeaching and learning in the Technology Education and the Information Technology learning area traditionally focused on the acquisition of knowledge, skills, attitudes and reproductive thinking - with minor reference to the facilitation of complex thinking. An appropriate instructional methodology in the Higher Education and Training band is of utmost importance due to the fact that current instructional approaches and strategies in the Information Technology area of learning are not suitable for the facilitation of complex thinking. There are no instructional models for the facilitation of complex thinking through web page design available in South Africa. The cross-curricular nature of Technology Education and Information Systems permits the integration of the stages of the technological process and methodologies of information system design with particular reference to web page design. The problem-based nature of information system design correlates with the aim and functionality of the stages of the technological process. Within the stages of the technological process the balance between constructivist and behaviourist instructional approaches and strategies can provide for meaningful learning. The aim of this study is to design and implement an instructional web design programme (IWDP), and furthermore on the basis of an evaluation of the programme, to develop a prospective instructional model that could promote complex thinking in the project-based classroom. The development of the instructional programme was based on the three pillars of the technological framework (mind tools within web page design, complex thinking, instructional models and strategies), which provided a conceptual framework in the form of criteria on the manner in which complex thinking of learners can be facilitated. This study was developed within the qualitative research paradigm. The use of the case study design and action research was considered the most appropriate for the nature of this study. A group of 17 learners at an institution of higher education and training band was observed during the implementation of the instructional programme. Data was gathered using interviews, classroom observations, journals and essays, in order to explore learners' and the teacher's experiences in respect of the instructional programme. A qualitative data analysis approach was employed to provide meaningful categories and subcategories. From the data it was evident that the learners and teacher had positive experiences with regard to the instructional programme. The programme provided an array of instructional approaches and strategies, as well as the opportunity for learners to experience a multi-method learning environment utilising the technological resources and a network of human resources inside and outside the project-based classroom. It became clear that different instructional approaches and strategies (constructivist and behaviourist) contributed to a variety of learning modes particularly emphasizing discussions, cognitive apprenticeship and peer tutoring in collaborative teams, indicating the facilitation of complex thinking in general. Based on the findings an instructional model was designed and developed that could be applied in the Information Technology learning area, as well as in Technology Education in general.

There are rare studies referred to how to set goal more effectively in systemic view. The purpose of this article will articulate how to set a goal in order to strive for the level of life. 2nd, it will show us what a healthy person is and how to be. 3rd, trying to use the method of systems thinking to improve the quality of goal setting and to make good decisions. The upper level of goal is mentioned about what we live for. In this article we will explore what dose life mean and the specific norms of value system from the perspective of philosophy, especially in the moral choices of self-actualized person and the tests of energy level by Kinesiology. Finally, there are three conclusions by using the systems archetypes as a carrier: 1.Hold on the life goal: always allocate a certain ratio of resources to life goal to avoid being eroded by other objectives. 2.Take value system into consideration: goal setting should be guided by value system, and also take other’s goal into account. 3.Choose the fundamental solution: adopt transformational learning as the fundamental solution to assist in goal setting in order to strive for the level of life of human being.

The work started in April 2019 with the start of the first project in September 2019 and ended in August 2020. During the development of the project, the student had the opportunity to work in practice several of the knowledge acquired during the master's degree at IADE, parallel studies and previous information acquired in external courses in Web Design, Digital Marketing and university degree in Visual Communication. The purpose of these projects was to create new websites for some of the group's companies and events, which would solve the various navigation, information problems and have a greater presence in the search engines. Like any major project, new complications and needs came across making the websites grow and, also, there were needs to create a website and system for an event and a digital school, a need that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemia in March 2020. In general, the way to reach the final results was to find a connection between design and Dance and Fitness, core areas of the group, to seek ways to value these areas and make them capable of creating strong emotional bonds between the consuming public and the company's business. Visual and informational aspects will then be analyzed, and strategies will be developed using User Experience, Design Thinking, Emotional Design and User Centered Design to achieve customer loyalty through ease of navigation, search for information, establishing emotional connections, adding value to the products of JAZZY.

Nowadays, there is a tendency towards using performance system in most of corporations and organizations. Up to now, scholars research are only focus on how to formulate the performance system, key measurable indicators, how to quantify, the relationship of performance system and staffs’ efficiency, key performance indicators, the advantages of performance system, the precautions of performance system and so on. However, the side-effects of performance system are obvious and there are few research study on this part. This research uses literature collection method and interviews method to collect and understand that performance system affect on some insurance company. Then investigating the effects of the using performance system in insurance company in system thinking approach. This research found that salesman would only focus on selling insurances and not concerned with claims part which because there is no incentives. Under this kind of performance system would gain pressure on salesmen which make them abdicate or declining their ethic. This study suggests that the insurance company have to understand of the importance of how to maintain dynamically align principles which make the insurance company operating much better, and reduces the side-effect From using performance system.

Para isso, buscou-se, na fase de concepção, realizar um estudo “teoria versus prática”, tomando as diretrizes regulamentadoras do TAL e confrontando-as com dados oriundos dos relatórios de tutoria e dos questionários aplicados aos atores do referido programa, no sentido de identificar os desajustes de implementação e gerenciamento do mesmo. O estudo desenvolveu-se numa perspetiva de design based research. Participaram da fase inicial, 96 estudantes, 12 tutores, 6 docentes orientadores e 5 membros da equipe gestora do TAL. Depois, uma vez identificados os requisitos dos usuários, caminhou-se para a fase de desenvolvimento, onde foi estabelecido um protótipo de um website, através do Google Sites, como ferramenta de apoio na realização das atividades ligadas à tutoria. Nesse contexto, submeteu-se o protótipo a uma análise de usabilidade, onde foi realizado um ciclo de iteração com quatro usuários reais, por meio da técnica Thinking-aloud Protocol e verbalização consecutiva por meio de entrevista, onde aferiu-se o desempenho dos usuário em tarefas específicas. Os principais resultados observados apontaram que o website proposto atendeu bem aos requisitos identificados e se colocou como uma ferramenta de apoio interessante para o Programa de Tutoria, devido ao seu potencial no controle e registro das atividades de tutoria, bem como no gerenciamento das ações.
This investigative academic work aimed to contribute to the success of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte – IFRN, university campus Nova Cruz, tutoring program, denominated Tutoring and Learning of Laboratory - TAL. Therefore, it was sought, in the conception phase, to conduct a “theory vs practice” study, taking the TAL's regulatory guidelines and comparing them with data from tutoring reports and questionnaires applied to TAL program actors, in the sense of identify mismatches in the implementation and management of that program. The initial phase included 96 students, 12 tutors, 6 mentors and 5 members of the TAL management team. Then, once the users' requirements were identified, they went to the development phase, the prototype of a website was established through the Google Sites tool, which served as support for the realization of tutoring activities. In this context, the prototype was submitted to usability analysis, where an iteration cycle was performed with four real users, through the Thinking-aloud Protocol technique and consecutive verbalization through interviews in which users of the performance was evaluated on specific tasks. The main results observed indicated that the proposed website attended well to the identified requirements and was an interesting support tool for the Tutoring Program and Learning Laboratory due to its potential in the control and registration of tutoring activities, as well as in the management of actions.

The Correlates among Sightseeing Motivation, Positive Thinking, Experiential Value and Revisiting Intention: A Case Study of Bitou Cape Community Learning Sites Abstract How to add values in a declining community to attract more visitors is the key issue in post industry society. In line with this, a fish village, Bitou has been revitalized as several learning sites. To understand the effectiveness of those learning sites, this study aims on exploring the relationships among sightseeing motivation, positive thinking, experiential values, and revisit behavioral intention of Bitou sightseeing learning sites based on the theory of “affection-perception-intention. Questionnaire survey was adapted to this study to explore the sightseers’ sightseeing motivation, positive thinking, experiential values, and revisit behavior intention of Bitou sightseeing learning sites. Participants of this study were sightseers of Bitou sightseeing learning sites. There were 400 questionnaire send out for the study, and 248 were valid for analysis. The descriptive statistic method and structural equation modeling used to test the hypothesis. The results of this study list as follows: 1) Sightseeing motivation of participants was positively correlated to their three types of experiential values. 2) Positive thinking of participants was positively correlated to their three types of experiential values. 3) Hedonic value was positively correlated to revisit behavioral intention. 4) Social value was positively correlated to revisit behavioral intention. 5) Epistemic value was positively correlated to revisit behavioral intention.. As the result, the following implications were proposed for the government and schools who are willing to promote the community sightseeing learning sites. 1) Recommendations for Bitou sightseeing learning site, including: (1) To design new accessible learning sites to increase the experiential values of the enlargement of community natural resources. (2) To enrich the contents to attract more visitors’ to revisit. 2) Suggestion for government units: (1) To use Bitou learning sites as examples to add values for other fish village. (2) To synthesize neighbor fish villages of Bitou as a whole learning community. Keywords: learning sites, sightseeing motivation, positive thinking, experiential values, behavioral intention.

Full textEste trabalho de investigação tem por objetivo expor a convergência entre a gestão e o design evidenciada pelo pensamento em design (Design Thinking) como ferramenta estratégica e inovadora para incrementar valor aos serviços. A autora Best (2010) afirma que a gestão do design é um papel de liderança, um papel que requer que se explique, inspire, se persuada e se demonstre como o design pode contribuir para a organização de muitas formas variadas. Que este está intrinsecamente ligado aos negócios, de forma que tanto pode adicionar como criar valor. Segundo Ruão (2008), os ativos intangíveis, como a identidade, a imagem, a reputação ou a marca, têm uma importância crescente na gestão das instituições de ensino superior. Neste sentido a pertinência da investigação justifica-se pela necessidade premente da reestruturação estratégica das empresas do sector face ao cenário de crise atual. Face a este novo contexto em que as Instituições de Ensino Superior entraram numa conjuntura dita “de mercado”, onde a sustentabilidade exige agora uma orientação mais empresarial, os fatores intangíveis surgem como elementos muito valiosos. O campo de análise do estudo compreende a convergência entre design e gestão como alavanca estratégica no sector dos serviços, nomeadamente no Instituto Politécnico de Bragança. O trabalho aborda teoricamente as questões relacionadas com a gestão do design, o pensar design nos serviços, a identidade e a imagem corporativa (Reputação Corporativa). O estudo de caso centra-se no Instituto Politécnico de Bragança averiguando, como a gestão do design poderá contribuir estrategicamente para compreender quais os pontos fracos e as necessidades de design da instituição e transformá-los em vantagem competitiva, assim como investigar se a perceção que o Staff (Diretores, Docentes e Colaboradores) tem da sua identidade corresponde à imagem percebida pelo seu público (estudantes). Os principais resultados permitem concluir que de forma geral o IPB apresenta uma Reputação Corporativa positiva para os atributos da imagem em estudo (Website, Identidade visual, Publicidade e Ambiente). É possível verificar a existência de diferenças na perceção que o Staff tem da sua identidade e a imagem percebida pelos Estudantes, o que permite perceber que ações a organização poderá fazer no sentido de alinhar a sua Reputação Corporativa de forma a que esta seja percebida de maneira positiva onde apresenta pontos negativos.
This research aims to expose the convergence between the management and the design evidenced by Design Thinking as a strategic and innovative tool to increase value to the services. Best (2010) states that design management is a leadership role, a role that requires one to explain, inspire, persuade and to demonstrate how design can contribute to the organization in many different ways. This is intrinsically linked to the business, so that both can add as create value. According Ruão (2008), intangible assets, such as identity, image, reputation or brand, have become increasingly important in higher education institutions management. In this sense the relevance of the research is justified by the pressing need of the strategic restructuring sector companies against the backdrop of the current crisis. Given this new context in which the Higher educations institutions entered a situation said "market", where sustainability now requires a more entrepreneurial orientation, the intangible factors emerge as very valuable elements. The field of analysis of this study comprises the convergence of design and management as a strategic lever in the service sector, particularly in the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança. Theoretically, the work addresses the issues related to management design, design thinking in services, corporate identity and image. The case study focuses on Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, ascertaining as design management can contribute strategically to understand what the weaknesses and the institution's design requirements and turn them into competitive advantage, as well as investigate the perception that the staff has its identity corresponds to the image perceived by your audience (students). The main results allow to conclude that in general the IPB presents a positive Corporate Reputation for the attributes of the image under study (Website, Visual Identity, Advertising and Environment). It is possible to verify the existence of differences in the perception that the Staff has of their identity and the image perceived by the Students, which allows to realize what actions the organization can have in the sense of aligning its Corporate Reputation so that it is perceived in a way positive which has negative points.

Goal setting theory has been developed over nearly half a century, which is widely used in business, government, education, non-profit organizations etc. However, corporate scandals and business crisis continue to happen in recent years. People began to think and ask whether the business performance goals leading enterprises toward danger and decay? For this question, Latham &; Locke who building goal setting theory think that this question’s causes is the interference of external factors. Ordóñez et al. think that this question’s causes is the systematically side effect of goal setting theory. This study collected information about practical application of a case study of a hypermarket which implement goal setting by interview survey. There are three problems related with goal setting from the interviews: (1) the goal inhibited managers’ motivation of working hard; (2) the manager applied a symptomatic solution or a more fundamental solution in achieving goal; (3) narrow focused on their own goal and caused a negative side effect to others, then harmed Organization''s overall performance. It all depends on your choice, which decided your state of mind and how to deal with these three problems. It was found that two respondents have very different approach to the same problem in the interviews. After analysis, it was found that the goal setting theory is just a necessary condition of the problems. Human factors and the way subordinates achieving the goal is another necessary conditions. In order to achieve the goals setting by managers, subordinates choose to apply the symptomatic solution which produces side effects. In the short term they solved the problem symptom. In the long term they make bigger problems. When we face a problem symptom, we have to make choice between symptomatic and fundamental solution. The “shifting the burden” archetype tells us the fundamental solution is always on the slow, difficult and hard way.
