1MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATIONS IN GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTE-Learning ActivityWeek 5 – Activity 1- The Milgram ExperimentMilgram experiment is one of the most famous Psychology experiment put forward byStanley Milgram in 1963 (Slater 2016). Through this experiment, he tried to prove that there issome conflict between compliance to the high authority and personal principles. The experimentstarted just after realizing the accused of the World War 2. He started his experiment first byinvestigating about the Germans and their behaviour towards their authority. He initiated theexperiment by printing advertisement and asking the male students to take part in theexperiment. For carrying out the experiment the participants was closed in a room and was tiedwith electrodes on his arms (Calhoun et. al. 2015). On the other hand, his supervisors were madeto sit in the other room with the electric shock control. This was carried out to see whether thestudent is ready to take any shock or he will not accept to take any risk for his teachers. Theexperiment used to take place with two students at a time where one played the role of a teacherand the other one is the learner. However, the experiment later proved that about 65 percent ofpeople could do anything to obey their leaders. They can harm anyone just to keep the authorityhappy (Burger 2014). According to my experience, such type of experiment was once applied in the La TrobeUniversity in 70s where a lot of student took part in the experiment of testing their obedience forthe authority. The experiment that took place in this university is similar to that of Milgram inearly 60s. in the university two friend were made to sit in a separate room and one was asked togive a shock to other on the ground that is she doesn’t do it then her friend will be put out of theuniversity. Thus, the other friend gave her friend the shock as her rejection would pay for her

However, after she pressed the electric shock machine, all the authority started to laughsaying that the shock was not real and she is not hurt by it. The experiment took place with otherstudents as well and there were many who just thought of obeying the authority rather thanthinking about their friends. The experiment ended successfully like that of Milgram in 60s.However, in the end the authority felt sorry about the people who are hurt because of theexperiment and would provide them with counselling session. The experiment soon spread allover the world and unlike Milgram; there were university that included both men and women inthe experiment (Haslam et. al. 2015). Week 6 – Activity 1 - Linear Programming Word Problems The activity that took place in week 6 was about Linear Programming and its applicationin the work problems. Linear programming is a method of obtaining the best outcome in anysituation. The outcomes measured in Linear Programming are usually about minimum cost ormaximum profit. However, the outcome is obtained by means of a linear equation (Dantzig2016). It is a part of a mathematical programming model. All the reachable points are displayedon the graph and the point, which shows maximum or minimum points are stated as the result.The programming is given by simple linear equations or as a word problem in which the studentsneeds to form the linear equation themselves using the information given in the problem. Thereis also a constraint in every problem, which needs to be stated in the beginning. The constraintsshow that the answer cannot exceed this amount (Coffrin . and Van Hentenryck 2014). The activity that took place in week six taught about the use of linear programmingproblem to take out the minimum cost of consuming a mixture of fats and protein. The cost ofconsuming protein and fat was given separately and adding both gave the cost equation. Then to
