	X Theory
		Theory X and theory Y are referred to commonly in the field of management and motivation and Mcgregor's XY Theory remains a valid basic principle from which to develop positive management style and techniques.
		Theory Z essentially advocates a combination of all that's best about Mcgregor's XY theory and modern Japanese management, which places a large amount of freedom and trust with workers, and assumes that workers have a strong loyalty and interest in team-working and the organisation.
		Theory Z also places more reliance on the attitude and responsibilities of the workers, whereas Mcgregor's XY theory is mainly focused on management and motivation from the manager's and organisation's perspective.

		Also, Theory Z workers have a high need to be supported by the company, and highly value a working environment in which such things as family, cultures and traditions, and social institutions are regarded as equally important as the work itself.
		Finally, Theory Z workers, it is assumed, can be trusted to do their jobs to their utmost ability, so long as management can be trusted to support them and look out for their well being (Massie and Douglas).
		Theory Z workers, on the other hand, tend to rotate their jobs frequently, and become more generalists, but at the same time become more knowledgeable about the overall scheme of things within the company.

		Z theory speaks of an organizational culture in which workers are participative and capable of performing many and diverse tasks.
		However, Theory Z implies that individuals are inherently self-motivated and that the employees, or teachers, can make sound decisions, since they have a great deal of control over themselves.
		Theory X requires an authoritarian stance, and while this methodology may be necessary in certain situations, it hardly is the best modus operandi all the time.

	Theory Z + N: The Role of Alaska Natives in Admin.
		The theory behind Theory Z is that employees who develop a sense of ownership in and commitment to the organization in which they work will be more dedicated to the goals of the organization and thus will become more productive contributors.
		Theory Z is not limited in its corporate application to the multinational arena, however.
		Theory Z + N takes into account the essential link between the well-being of the institution and the well-being of the community in which it is situated.

	Theory Z - DEVELOPMENT OF THEORY Z, THEORY Z AS AN APPROACH
		Theory Z is an approach to management based upon a combination of American and Japanese management philosophies and characterized by, among other things, long-term job security, consensual decision making, slow evaluation and promotion procedures, and individual responsibility within a group context.
		In addition, Theory Z breaks away from McGregor's Theory Y. Theory Y is a largely psychological perspective focusing on individual dyads of employer-employee relationships while Theory Z changes the level of analysis to the entire organization.
		It is unclear whether Theory Z will have a lasting impact on management practices in the U. and around the world into the twenty-first century, but by positioning target research at the organizational level rather then the individual level, Ouchi will surely leave his mark on management practice for years to come.

	douglas mcgregor's motivational theory x theory y
		Theory x and theory y are still referred to commonly in the field of management and motivation, and whilst more recent studies have questioned the rigidity of the model, Mcgregor's X-Y Theory remains a valid basic principle from which to develop positive management style and techniques.
		Theory Z is often referred to as the 'Japanese' management style, which is essentially what it is. It's interesting that Ouchi chose to name his model 'Theory Z', which apart from anything else tends to give the impression that it's a Mcgregor idea.
		Nevertheless, Theory Z essentially advocates a combination of all that's best about theory Y and modern Japanese management, which places a large amount of freedom and trust with workers, and assumes that workers have a strong loyalty and interest in team-working and the organisation.

		Theory X and theory Y describe two opposite approaches managers use with their subordinates based on different convictions and attitudes towards workers.
		Theory X managers believe that subordinates prefer to work as little as possible and must be coerced, preferring to be directed rather than to take responsibility.
		Theory Y managers believe in employees and feel that they are capable of finding creative solutions to organisational problems if given the chance to do so.

		In Larmor's classical theory there was no preferential direction for the direction of the magnetic moment and so one predicted that the beam of silver atoms would show a maximum in the center of the beam.
		The later, or new, quantum theory developed by Heisenberg, Schrodinger, and others, predicted that for an L = 1 state the beam should split into three components as shown in Figure 12.
		With respect to the particular quantum theory of Bohr and Sommerfeld, however, it wasn't crucial, although it was regarded as such at the time, because that theory predicted no splitting for a beam of silver atoms in the ground state (L = 0).

		Theory X also proposes that most people want to be told what to do, they would rather follow orders than try to make decisions.
		Theory Z - from the 1981 book by William Ouchi "Theory Z: How American management can Meet the Japanese Challenge." Not really related to Theory X and Theory Y. Basically the book examined what management concepts Japan had used to succeed and how those concepts could be applied in America.
		Theory Z examines how workers contribute (Theory X and Y talk about workers only from the perspective on how to manage them) and proposes that workers naturally wish to cooperate and are loyal to the organization.

	Theory Z - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theory Z is the name applied to the so-called "Japanese Management" style popularized during the Asian economic boom of the 1980's.
		Ironically, "Japanese Management" and Theory Z itself were based on Dr. W.
		Deming, an American scholar whose management and motivation theories were rejected in the United States, went on to help lay the foundation of Japanese organizational development during their expansion in the world economy in the 1980's.

	William Ouchi
		In THEORY Z, Ouchi describes the art of Japanese management and shows how it can be adapted to American companies.
		Ouchi also examines the corporate philosophies that have become blueprints for Theory Z success, and looks at the evolving culture of “Z” people in society.
		Theory Z, according to the best management minds in America, will soon take its rightful place in everyone's business vocabulary.

	Management Styles - PARTICIPATIVE MANAGEMENT, THEORY X AND THEORY Y, THEORY Z
		Douglas McGregor's Theory X assumes that people are lazy, they don't want to work, and it is the job of the manager to force or coerce them to work.
		According to this theory, responsibility for demonstrating initiative and motivation lies with the employee and failure to perform is his or her fault.
		William Ouchi studied management practices in the United States and Japan and developed Theory Z. Theory Z combines elements of both U.S. and Japanese management styles and is sometimes called Japanese Management.

	Work Motivation
		Organization theory is frequently described as an interdisciplinary study that examines the structure and functioning of organizations and the behavior of the people within organizations.
		Theory Y is the humanistic/self-actualization approach to human motivation.
		Theory Y is most likely to be used when management utilizes worker participation in organizational decisions.

		Z (pronounced `zed') is a formal specification notation based on set theory and first order predicate logic.
		The leading object-oriented version of Z is Object-Z. See: http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~smith/objectz.html Subject: How can I run Z? Z is a (non-executable in general) specification language, so there is no such thing as a Z compiler/linker/etc. as you would expect for a programming language.
		Some people have looked at animating subsets of Z for rapid prototyping purposes, using logic and functional programming for example, but this is not really the major point of Z, which is to increase human understandability of the specified system and allow the possibility of formal reasoning and development.

		A number of middle-ground positions evolved, all of which can be identified, for our simplified purposes, as Theory Z. In actuality there have been several theories labeled Z since the 1960s, all of them having to do with creating some new position not connected with an either-or choice between process or people.
		One of the most important theories introduces another set of letters—MBO—standing for, as we all know, “management by objectives.” The pioneer of this methodology is Peter Drucker, an Austrian refugee from Hitler, schooled in Viennese psychology and steeped in the European democratic tradition.
		The use of these Theory X measures for organizational operations emphasizes process, but it is a process that finally develops from the independent will of people.

		Item: When the z of the quasar is set to the reference frame of the galaxy (1.73 – 0.31 = 1.42), it falls on a “preferred value” of z.

	String Theory As I Know It - an Astronomy Net Bigbang Forum Message
		The original string theory developed by Max Green and Schwartz at CIT was not supersymmetric and was only for closed loops, which means a Boson-only theory.
		It all comes down to a factor(z-26) where the expression is infinite except when z, the number of dimensions equals 26.
		Subsequently, 3 more z=10 solutions were found, another at z=9, z includes the time dimension BTW, and M theory by Witten had z=11, and Vafa theory had z=13, half way to 26.

	Hermitian K-theory of the integers, by A. J. Berrick and M. Karoubi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The 2-primary torsion of the higher algebraic K-theory of the integers has been computed by Rognes and Weibel.
		In this paper we prove analogous results for the Hermitian K-theory of the integers with 2 inverted (denoted by Z').
		We also prove in this case the analog of the Lichtenbaum conjecture for the Hermitian K-theory of Z' : the homotopy fixed point set of a suitable Z/2 action on the classifying space of the algebraic K-theory of Z' is the Hermitian K-theory of Z' after 2-adic completion.

	Tech Report: HPL-BRIMS-2000-02: Random Matrix Theory and
		Exact expressions for any matrix size N are derived for the moments of *Z* and Z/Z*, and from these we obtain the asymptotics of the value distributions and cumulants of the real and imaginary parts of log Z as N ?
		In the limit, we show that these two distributions are independent and Gaussian.
		Costin and Lebowitz [15] previously found the Gaussian limit distribution for Im log Z using a different approach, and our result for the cumulants proves a conjecture made by them in this case.

		i was just trying to help the chickie with her theory, sorry if its not something you agree with, but that's no reason to say anyone isn't thinking.
		So my theory is that Z invents this all to quiet his own conscience and to give K the benefit of the doubt.
