Is is my belief that variation, selection and retention lies behind any innovation as illustrated by the innovation funnel. The task for the organization is to increase the effectiveness of the process by:

1- increasing variation through involving many individuals, stimulating open-minded and creative thinking

2- pre-selecting for higher success rate based on maximum foresight and support promising ideas

3- scale up and replicate successful solution to maximum effective level

How do Goals and Objectives vary at each Level?

Goals are broad, overarching outcomes that an organization aims to achieve, while objectives are specific, measurable steps taken to reach those goals. At the strategic level, goals focus on long-term vision and mission, whereas objectives at the tactical level are more short-term and detail-oriented, guiding day-to-day operations. Operational level objectives are even more granular, addressing specific tasks and responsibilities necessary to support higher-level goals. Thus, the variation lies in the scope and specificity of each level, driving alignment from strategic intent to operational execution.


What does demanuel mean?

"Demanuel" does not appear to have a widely recognized meaning in English or any specific context. It might be a misspelling or a variation of the name "Emmanuel," which is of Hebrew origin and means "God is with us." If you're referring to something specific, please provide more context for clarification.


How is Six Sigma used?

Six sigma is a measurement scale upon which improvement / performance can be gauged or overall methodology that provides standardized problem-solving tools improvement. . In layman's terms, the idea is that by using basic statiscal tools to identify sources of variation that cause defects in your processes, you can attack each one of those sources of variation and decrease the number of defects your process generates. The concept of a Six Sigma process comes from a process which yields most of it's output within the specification limits required by customers. In the case of a six sigma quality process (1.5 sigma shifted), no more than 3.4 out of 1 million outputs that come out of a process are defective. There are many commercial pages which will explain sixsigma, none of which can be linked here.


What kinds of decision making situations may be analysed using PERT and CPM techniques?

CPM vs. PERTCPM or "Critical Path Method":tool to analyze project and determine duration, based on identification of "critical path" through an activity network. Knowledge of the critical path can permit management of the project to change duration. A single estimate for activity time was used that did not allow for variation in activity times Activity times are assumed to be known or predictable ("deterministic") Activities are represented as nodes or circles PERT or "Project Evaluation and Review Technique":Another derivative of the GANTT chartMultiple time estimates were used for each activity that allowed for variation in activity timesActivity times are assumed to be random, with assumed probability distribution ("probabilistic")Activities are represented by arrowed lines between the nodes or circles

How does the process of variation selection and retention might explain innovations that take place within an organization?

Variation is the introduction of new ideas or practices within an organization. Selection involves choosing which variations to retain based on their effectiveness. Retention involves integrating successful variations into the organization's practices. The process explains how innovation occurs by allowing for experimentation, evaluation, and adoption of successful new ways of doing things.


What do stabilization selection and disruptive selection have in common?

They both decrease genetic variation. Stabilizing selection and disruptive selection reduce genetic variation


How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?

Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.


Is Natural selection a source of genetic variation in a population?

No, natural selection works on that genetic variation presented to it.


How does natural selection enhance or reduce the variability of a species?

Natural selection doesn't reduce variation. Variation is regulated by the rate of mutation.Natural selection reduces the chance of bad variation from being passed on and increases the chances for good variation to be passed on.


Type of selection in which human select the variation?

Artificial selection.


Is retention applicable for variation order?

is retension applicable to variationorder


Which of these is necessary for natural selection to occur genetic engeneering genetic variation asexual reproduction or enviormental stability?

Genetic variation is necessary for natural selection to occur. This variation provides the raw material for differential survival and reproduction, which drives the process of natural selection. Without genetic variation, there would be no differences for natural selection to act upon.


What characteristic within populations cause natural selection to occur?

Genetic variation. If there were no variation in the genes/phenotype then natural selection would have nothing to select from.


Can natural selection occur without variation in a population?

no there is no genetic variation for natural selection to act upon


What principles includes variation and competition?

Natural selection.


Which type of selection tends to increase genetic variation?

Natural Selection.
