Another review after reading HBR

Today I read about the importance of having psychological help in a company and the different stress related diseases that are attributed to high stress jobs. Is it ethically good to let go of an individual who has mental or physical problems or should time and money be invested in such a case. What are the legal problems associated with that and more over what the necessary guildlines are are should be formulated in order to help the company better respond to cases such as that.

The second article that comes to my mind is the article of what is important for a business manager in terms of information and which information is mission critical. Can some information be available in terms of real time and does such information help the company and the manager better manage their daily tasks and crisis. How can information over load be managed by the information system and how critical is an information system towards such a situation. Do managers get the information they want when they want??

The third article is about the R and D and social networks that attribute to such a situation. The social “gatekeepers”, having max patents and are social gateways to the rest of the community, are the most important people the organization would benefit from. The idea is very similar to the one of the “tipping point”?? Where one person is usually the person who is the gateway to the community to which we belong. (We know everybody due to this person or something that the person did in the past) For example, my connector is the EOP job I have, which enables me to know so many people. Similar connections are through Ahmed.
