TOPIC: FOOD CHAIN AND TROPIC LEVELS OBJECTIVE The objective of this script is to know the basic concept of food chain and trophic levels in various ecosystems. Concept Plants convert solar energy into chemical energy stored in food material. The transfer of food energy from plants through a series of organisms forms the food chain. A phytoplankton may be eaten by a copepod, which is eaten by a small fish, the small fish is ultimately eaten by large fish, and large fish by a swan. This is a food chain that is generally observed in rivers. In pasture grasses are eaten by grasshopper and grasshopper by a toad. In the two examples the base of the food chain is formed by a plant, which is grazed on by a herbivore, which is predated by a carnivore, which is eaten by another carnivore. In nature, food chain relationships are very complex, as one organism may form the food source of many organisms. For example, grass may be grazed on by grasshoppers as well as rabbits ...

How much am I influenced by the thoughts of Mary Parker Follett’s? Follett had discarded the dehumanizing theories of organizational set ups. She said and argued in her writings that all mechanical methods to increase the efficiency and productivity had actually nothing to do with the productivity of the organization. No organization is governed by the scientific of managerial theories in reality. It’s not the material gain but the human bonding with positively influence the people. Soft aspect of behavior is more important. During the day’s Follett wrote her work nobody actual real it seriously. Her work was seriously read much later. During the time when Roosevelt was president his advisor Mr. Barnard undertook a deep notice of her work. Many scholars of Public administration were also influence by her. Mayo even gave the credit to her experimentation to her thought. Hawthorne experiment was conducted after being influenced by Parker Follett’s writing. So, we can say that thi...

ADMINISTRATIVE THEORIES IT’S SIGNIFICANCE IN MY VIEW Administrative theories given by Taylor and Fayol in the early year were such that it aims at dehumanizing the human resource working in any organization. Taylor focused on the micro aspect of the organization and Fayol focus on the macro aspect. One took the scientific aspect and the other one took the aspect of improving the top management. One thing was very common in the two kind of study that was the aspect of Mechanization of the worker and the work environment. To bring efficiency of work and the best output they just forgot to take care of humanitarian aspect of the most important resource, i.e., the human resource for whom the efficiency and output is all about. This brings out the benefit to the capitalist at the cost of the craftsmanship of the human being. Mechanization of work environment and human beings in the name of quality and quantity adversely affects the creativity of the worker in long run. So, b...

Public administration internationally is as old as Aristotle's study and in India it is as old as Kautilya or Chanakya's study. Admini''stration word literally means to administer or to manage. Earlier it was confused with the subject of Politics but it an independent subject in itself. I have been its student as early as 2003. The subject fascinated me as it had to do lot with masses. I pursued the subject in the era when the study of business administration was at boom. Business administration has a lot to do with profit making and accountability to the corporation formed but public administration has to do with policies and politics of the geography in which a public administrator has to function. It public administrator has to adhere to the constitution of the nation and function in the way so that law of the land is implemented in the most effective manner. Max weber led the foundation stone of classical public administration study. But public administration has n...
