MLB Network and Cisco Announce Multiyear Technology Relationship



MLB Network and Cisco today announced a multiyear relationship that features Cisco technology solutions in key video-dependent areas for MLB Network's television programming and live telecasts from ballparks around Major League Baseball.


Cisco TelePresence will be utilized on MLB's new afternoon talk show, "Intentional Talk," hosted by Chris Rose and Kevin Millar, (Monday - Friday 5 p.m. – 6 p.m. ET). When not airing from MLB Network's Studio 42 in Secaucus, N.J., Cisco TelePresence will connect Millar in Texas and Rose in California to each other and to other content.



Cisco TelePresence technology creates a live, face-to-face communication experience over the network that empowers participants to collaborate wherever they are in the world. Cisco TelePresence solutions help people meet, share content, create high-quality video recordings and events, consult with experts and deliver powerful personalized services, all using the power of the network for an immersive life-like experience.



Cisco Ballpark Cams – Since 2009, MLB Network has deployed robotic cameras in Major League ballparks across the country, powered by Cisco network technology solutions. These systems, which are now featured in 29 ballparks, reside in either center field, behind home plate, or in dugouts. The systems are used extensively across the network for live interviews and action before and after games. Video from the ballparks travels over the Cisco network from every site back to MLB Network's studios.

Henry Mintzberg


Professor Henry Mintzberg, OC, OQ, FRSC (born in Montreal, September 2, 1939) is an internationally renowned academic and author on business and management. He is currently the Cleghorn Professor of Management Studies at the Desautels Faculty of Management of McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where he has been teaching since 1968.


Henry Mintzberg writes prolifically on the topics of management and business strategy, with more than 150 articles and fifteen books to his name. His seminal book, The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning(Mintzberg 1994), criticizes some of the practices of strategic planning today.


He recently published a book entitled Managers Not MBAs (Mintzberg 2004) which outlines what he believes to be wrong with management education today. Rather controversially, Mintzberg claims that prestigious graduate management schools like Harvard Business School and the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania are obsessed with numbers and that their overzealous attempts to make management a science are damaging the discipline of management. Mintzberg advocates more emphasis on post graduate programs that educate practicing managers (rather than students with little real world experience) by relying upon action learning and insights from their own problems and experiences.[2]


Ironically, although Professor Mintzberg is quite critical about the strategy consulting business, he has twice won the McKinsey Award for publishing the best article in the Harvard Business Review. Also, he is credited with co-creating the organigraph, which is taught in business schools.[3]


From 1991 to 1999, he was a visiting professor at INSEAD.


In 1997 he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. In 1998 he was made an Officer of the National Order of Quebec. He is now a member of the Strategic Management Society.

Unidad 4 - Patrones de Organizacion de un Parrafo

Ejercicio A

An organization is a social arrangement which pursues collective goals, controls its own performance, and has a boundary separating it from its environment. The word itself is derived from the Greek word organon, itself derived from the better-known word ergon. There are a variety of legal types of organizations, including: corporations, governments, non-governmental organizations, international organizations, armed forces, charities, not-for-profit corporations, partnerships, cooperatives, and universities. A hybrid organization is a body that operates in both the public sector and the private sector, simultaneously fulfilling public duties and developing commercial market activities. As a result the hybrid organization becomes a mixture of a government and a corporate organization.

In the social sciences, organizations are the object of analysis for a number of disciplines, such as sociology, economics, political science, psychology, management, and organizational communication. The broader analysis of organizations is commonly referred to as organizational structure, organizational studies, organizational behavior, or organization analysis. A number of different perspectives exist.

Ejercicio B

Barry Lamar Bonds was born July 24, 1964, in Riverside, California. He made history when broke Hank Aaronvïs all-time Major League baseball record of 755 on August 7th, 2007. But his place in baseball history has been overshadowed by allegations regarding the use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Bonds is the son of former Giant and longtime Major League outfielder Bobby Bonds, distant cousin of baseball great Reggie Jackson, and godson of the legendary Willie Mays. Bonds graduated from Arizona State and began his Major League career with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1986. He joined the San Francisco Giants in 1993.

A finicky hitter, Bonds set a Major League record for walks with 177. But he was just as attentive as he was patient, hitting 23 homers on the first or second pitch. He led all players in slugging percentage (.863) and runs scored (146). Among National Leaguers, he finished fourth in RBI and seventh in batting average (.328).

Bonds began the 2002 season with 567 home runs and 484 stolen bases. As history's only player with at least 400 career home runs and 400 stolen bases, Bonds needed just 16 of the latter to carve out his very own 500-500 niche..

The allegations surfaced during an investigation into the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO). The company's president and Bonds' nutritionist, Victor Conte Jr., and Bonds' trainer, Greg Anderson, were suspected of dispensing illegal performance-enhancing drugs.

In 2007, Bonds finally beat Hank Aaron's all-time home run record of 755 in August. Despite achieving this milestone, he learned late in the 2007 season that the San Francisco Giants didn't want him back in 2008. Bonds became a free agent.

Communicate Up and Down The Ladder

Successful networking means being able to communicate effectively with your peers and your bosses, but also with your employees. Let's start at the bottom.

You will never make it to the top of the management ladder without the support of the employees below you. These are the people who do the work, the people whose efforts and motivation determine your success or failure. To be promoted, you must succeed at your current position and you can not succeed at your current position without the efforts of the people who work for you.

In addition to simply doing their work, or even doing it well so you look good, your employees are also a good networking source. Many employees know other employees in other departments and they all talk. Some may even know other managers. The conversations your employees have with these other people can have a direct impact on your advancement within the company. Imagine if one of your employees tells a friend in the company, "My boss is a real jerk. He doesn't know what he's doing and doesn't listen". A different employee says of his boss, "I'd hate to lose her as my boss, but she'd be great in the VP spot". Which person do you think is more likely to get promoted?

1. Efforts (sustantivo) Esfuerzo, failure (sustantivo) Fracaso, advancement (nombre) Avance

2. Se trata sobre la comunicación en una empresa donde desde el puesto más alto, hasta el puesto más bajo en la escala tienen que tener una comunicación constante para así, conocer todos los problemas que se puedan presentar en la empresa así como al momento de promover a un empleado a un mejor puesto

Human Resource

Human Resource Management involves planning, organizing, developing and coordinating and monitoring techniques capable of promoting the efficient performance of staff, while the organization represents the means by which people who work it to achieve individual goals directly or indirectly related to the job.

We've been talking about making Human Resources strategic for decades, but organizational readiness, resistance to change, and complicated and expensive technology issues continue to get in the way.
