Abstract:
This document presents a taxonomy of selected finance theories developed in past 5 decades by academics, practitioners and scholars in the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America. A total of 14 theories and models are synthesized in this work, organized in five tables with the same structure: Theories of capital structure; capital budgeting and cost of equity; asset valuation, financial behavior and international finances.

Each table contains theories organized alphabetically with an indication of its germinal or current character. The description of the theory is accompanied by current examples of empirical research that updates or contradicts the theory and additional information about limitations, scope and opportunities of research.

Abstract:
This document presents a taxonomy of 14 management theories and models that incorporate grounded theory or theoretical frameworks, addressing different aspects of leadership, organizational design, managerial roles, global business, change and innovation, e-commerce, and e-business. More than 40 references accompany this work, combining original treaties, empirical work, and media reports. All the references were extracted from scholarly databases.

The taxonomy is organized in four categories: Foundational, traditional, current, and emerging global, and emerging e-commerce theories. Each table includes a description of the theory, current examples of practice or empirical applications and other significant attributes.

Abstract:
This paper presents a proposal of re-design strategy for a higher education institution located in the Southwest. The first section of the document will provide the theoretical background about organizational design archetypes (Overholt, 2003), organizational structure (Galbraith, 1974) and strategic planning (Hambrick & Fredrickson, 2005). The second section presents a background of the organization and the rationale of selection of the archetype that best fits its organizational structure. The third and fourth sections elaborates on seven sub-systems that configure NSC characteristic of flexible organization (Overholt, 2003) addressing mission, genetic core, philosophy, organizational culture, internal and external environment, and people systems and rewards. This document attempts to bridge theory and practice with the application of models that are significant, valid, and useful for strategic design.

Abstract:
This research presents a taxonomy of 16 organizational theories that represent both germinal and current approaches. The author has used methodologies used by Miner (2005; 2006) and Vibert (2004) for purposes of classification of theories in macro level and micro level categories. Macro level theories are aimed at describing the design, behavior and paradigms of the organizations, whereas Micro level theories are focused on the description of individual behaviors and interactions within the organization. This taxonomy has identified nine theories that represent Eurocentric and traditional thought; three theories that represent global approaches and four theories considered non-traditional, identifying their creators and developers and the year of publication.
These selected are organized in three tables, identifying theories of organizational behavior, organizational design, and organizational paradigms.
