...Cisco and the related project management. This case is a classic example of the result of a decentralized governance of business units. What happened to CISCO due to the decentralized governance, how the business processes were modified to overcome the chaos created by the decentralized governance and how the employees and management reacted to this change in CISCO’s business governance? This case clearly illustrates the effect of a totally decentralized governance and how changing to a centralized governance leads to unrest and resistance. It also illustrates how the cultural/managerial change effects the business decisions needed to be made by a company to achieve success. Essentially, the case shows that IT governance must be aligned with business activities and tie all functions together to support the company’s strategy. 2. Problem Statement Will BPOC give a go-ahead for the proposal that the customer advocacy group was proposing? The proposal was to build a state-of-the-art customer interaction network that would centralize all incoming calls into a globally managed set of contact centers. Though this is a potentially valuable project, CISCO’s new centralized governance means that the customer advocacy group needs to get an approval from the BPOC. Will the BPOC realize the potential? Will it support the project and commit to a full cross-border and cross-functional implementation? If I was in Boston’s shoes, do I think he should approve the proposal? 3. Proposed Solution ...

...before because I should do research to collect professional arguments and evidence, rather than coming up my own opinions. The theme of my class is Mass Incarceration, which is an unfamiliar topic for me. There are two projects I did during the ten weeks. The first project is the Historical Conversations Project (HCP), which require writing historical events contributing the current problem. The second project is the Advocacy Project, which should focus on potential proposals to solve the current problem in the future. In the following sections, I will use four parts, including composing process, rhetoric, and multimodality, editing process and transfer, to show what I have done and learned during the ten weeks studying. 1. Composing Process The first step in the composing process is to find a topic, which should be locatable, measurable, and debatable. Because I am unfamiliar to the theme of Mass Incarceration, it is a big challenge for me to find an appropriate topic. In order to explore the topic, Professor Sung suggested us to do research following two steps. First, we should look through current news published on websites such as New York Times, the Marshall Project, etc. By reading the book New Jim Crow and articles published on the Marshall Project, I notice that there is the racial discrimination when police treat people. Then, by reading news on the New York Times and Los Angeles Times, I noticed that both websites reported a fatal police shooting of an unmarked...

...Country Paper Aid Flow to Bangladesh and the Question of Accountability of CSOs at National Level to the People They Serve By Shadnaz Khan* Bangladesh, like other poor and less developed countries, has been a regular receiver of foreign aid or external assistance in order to lessen the gap between savings and investment and to mitigate the balance of payment deficit. However, there has been serious debate over the issues such as low performance in aid-utilization, donors’ stringent and one-size-fits-all conditionalities and global aid politics that are believed to undermine the potential benefits that aid could have brought to the development scenario of the country. The apprehension over aid issues is felt in different countries around the world and also among the donors themselves. As a result, the idea of aid effectiveness has received increasing attention and importance in international discussions that generates hope that the international structure of aid would create sustainable development outcome for the poor countries. This paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, a general description of aid flows to Bangladesh has been presented and in the second part, an attempt has been made to assess the donor support models for CSOs in managing aid at country level and the scope for ensuring their accountability to their primary constituents, i.e., the people they serve in Bangladesh. A General Scenario of Aid flow to Bangladesh From 1972 to 30 June 2006...

...A REFLECTIVE COMMENTRY. The document Essence of Care (2010) published by the Department of Health addresses twelve fundamentals, which are important guide lines in providing holistic care for the patient admitted in this ward.. Food and drink is one such area, which is the focus of my service improvement initiative. The change I propose was to introduce different colour lids for the water jugs to indicate fresh water is being provided twice a day in the ward where I was under going my recent placement. This ward caters “step down” patients who are initially admitted to cardiac care unite, thus involvement of multidisciplinary team and interprofessional working is essential. The paper ‘Making a Difference’ Department of Health (1999) suggests that ‘effective care is the product of interprofessional working. Professionals working in collaboration provide care which is designed to meet the needs of the patient’ I shall use a model of reflection in order to describe the proposed change I have suggested. Reid (1993) suggests ‘that reflective practice is potentially is both, a way of learning and a mode of survival and development once formal education ceases’. I have chosen Gibbs model (1988) of reflection as it incorporates the following: description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and an action plan thus Gibbs’ reflective cycle encourages me to think systematically about the phases of an experience and therefore I shall use all the headings to structure...

...DOH now taking 'tawa-tawa' seriously in fight vs dengue CLARK FREEPORT, Pampanga, Philippines – A weed known as tawa-tawa has become a serious matter for the Department of Health (DOH), which is now considering the proposal of herbalist and former health secretary Jaime Galvez Tan to fund a research on the plant as possible panacea to the fatal bleeding among dengue victims. Health Assistant Secretary Elmer Punzalan said here yesterday that the Philippine Traditional and Alternative Health Care (PTAHC), an agency under the DOH, is now coordinating with Tan on the latter’s proposal for a P20-million research fund to finally establish whether tawa-tawa arrests bleeding, which is the main reason why dengue victims die. The weed is said to prevent hemorrhaging by normalizing platelet count in the blood. According to latest DOH reports, dengue cases in the country this year have already breached the 90,000 mark. Punzalan bared this in a press conference during the launch here of the two-day Generic Medicine Expo for Luzon, a joint project of the DOH and the National Center for Pharmaceutical Access and Management, in partnership with SM Prime Holdings Inc. The expo aims “to boost and sustain advocacy on quality affordable medicine through generics’ use and its role and importance in improving wellness and compliance of patients to treatment regimens.” Earlier, Dr. Eric Tayag, chief epidemiologist of the DOH, dismissed tawa-tawa as cure for dengue as not enough research on it...
