...Gary Freed, Lauren Morgan, Kelly Dunham, Elizabeth Hawkins-Walsh, and Kristy Martyn article titled, “Capacity Of, And Demand For Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Educational Programs: A Missing Piece of the Workforce Puzzle” discussed “whether the marginal increase in the pipeline for PNP’s is related to a limit in the capacity of educational programs or whether unfilled students exist.” The author’s used experimentation and studies to determine whether there was an increase or decrease in Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) programs in higher education schools. They provide examples of how educational programs have not been getting the amount of people they think they would have. One of the reason they discuss in the article is that programs have been shut down in common areas. A wide variety of colleges only offer the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) program. The...

...An organization is an entity comprising multiple people, such as an institution or an association, that has a collective goal and is linked to an external environment. An organization can be structured in many different ways, depending on its objectives. The structure of an organization will determine the modes in which it operates and performs. Two Basic Types of Organizations: For-Profit (Business) and Nonprofit. For-Profit (Business) Organizations: A for-profit organization exists primarily to generate a profit, that is, to take in more money than it spends. The owners can decide to keep all the profit themselves, or they can spend some or all of it on the business itself. Nonprofit Organizations A nonprofit organization exists to provide a particular service to the community. The word "nonprofit" refers to a type of business -- one which is organized under rules that forbid the distribution of profits to owners. "Profit" in this context is a relatively technical accounting term. Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code lists several circumstances under which corporations are exempt from these taxes. Section 501(c)(3) -- the famous one -- describes corporations (1) serving charitable, religious, scientific or educational purposes (2) no part of the income of which "inures to the benefit of" anyone.

...(Rouse, 2007). In order to safeguard shareholders, the president at that time President George Bush pushed for the act to get passed by the Senate and House of Representatives. The law was immediately signed by the president after the law passed the Senate 99-0 and the House of Representative 423-3 (Bumgardner, 2003). Since the law passed, it has been viewed as the best measure since the Security and Exchange Law of 1934 to improve business accounting rules. This law deters businesses from deceiving their shareholders and stockholders and from deliberately committing fiscal scams. Companies must respond accordingly and administer corporate governing plans to prevent bogus activities. The Securities and Exchange Commission administers the Sarbanes-Oxley Law and outlines how organization records must be maintained and for how long those records need to be maintained. The law enhances safety by improving reliability and accuracy of company financial statements and reports provided to shareholders in public organizations. Harsher criminal and civil charges for violation of securities laws have been set up by the...

...dimension of business environment. For-profit and nonprofit organizations are businesses with two different objectives. Fiscal and monetary policies have been on a rollercoaster ride for the past several years. When will Americans get another tax break? Lately the impact of these polices have affected all working Americans and the economy as a whole. Global marketing is as accessible as going to your local grocery store. Ever wonder where that cool toy was manufactured. How much did it cost to produce? Organizations take on social responsibilities that impact schools, colleges, communities, workers, families, citizens, and churches. The Business Environment Business in the Economy Business is the heart beat of the economy. The role of business is the economy. With out small and larger businesses the economy wouldn’t exist. Business in the economy is the circle of life. Businesses promote growth; provide jobs for citizen who intern feed the economy with their earnings. When an individual spends supporting other business the boomerang effect takes place. Businesses pay government taxes which allow the government to support the common good of the people. Businesses also tend to make charitable donations to offset some of the tax burden; this is another means of affecting the common good of society. The government creates different programs to promote the growth of small and large businesses such as SBA. Also using the tax dollars to supports unemployed...

...lunchroom that could never leave the teachers’ lunchroom”20 due to a lack of resources to implement them. “Funding for the basics was woefully inadequate, and teachers routinely dipped into their pockets to buy even paper and pencils for their students.”21 Best’s brainstorm for DonorsChoose.org emerged during one of these lunch conversations with colleagues. “Best figured there were probably plenty of people who would rather fork over a bit of cash for a specific classroom project than write a check to a traditional charity. So he moved back to his parents’ home to save money and designed the Web site”22 for DonorsChoose.org. To convert the idea from a pipe dream to a viable venture, Best needed the help of his fellow teachers and his students. His students’ volunteered to help start the Web-based organization. To lure his fellow teachers into trying out the organization’s new Web site, Best offered them his mother’s famous pear dessert.23 Best then used his savings to fund these projects anonymously. 24 And DonorsChoose.org has been growing ever since.25 Although there are many reasons for the continual growth of DonorsChoose, three major factors are: stimulating donor interest and securing contributions often repeated contributions from the same donors; arousing staffers’ motivation but doing so in a very cost effective manner; and maintaining uncompromising integrity. Stimulating Donor Interest and Securing Contributions...

...The Partnership for Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria (GSTC Partnership) is a coalition of 27 organizations working together to foster increased understanding of sustainable tourism practices and the adoption of universal sustainable tourism principles. The Partnership was initiated by the Rainforest Alliance, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the United Nations Foundation, and the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). Objectives Sustainable tourism is on the rise: consumer demand is growing, travel industry suppliers are developing new green programs, and governments are creating new policies to encourage sustainable practices in tourism. But what does sustainable tourism really mean and how can it be measured and credibly demonstrated to build consumer confidence, promote efficiency, and fight greenwashing? In an effort to come to a common understanding of sustainable tourism, the GSTC Partnership is developing a set of baseline criteria organized around the four pillars of sustainable tourism: effective sustainability planning; maximizing social and economic benefits to the local community; reduction of negative impacts to cultural heritage; and reduction of negative impacts to environmental heritage. To develop these criteria, the partnership consulted with sustainability experts and the tourism industry and reviewed more than 60 existing certification and voluntary sets of criteria already being implemented around the globe. In all, more...

(38) Understanding poverty calls for understanding the economy. According to Brooking Institute researchers Emily Monea and Isabel Sawhill, “even if the national unemployment rate fell to 5 percent within the next five years, by 2020 the nation’s poverty rate will likely remain above 14 percent. P. (39) Inter-generational poverty needs to be addressed. Inner cities have several generations of families born into poverty and dying in poverty. This poverty is present now in suburbs as the poor migrate to areas outside of the city limits. Urban enclaves now have jobs, affordable housing and educational institutions to meet the needs of people living there. “Today’s landscape of poverty demands new policies and practices that confront barriers to opportunity not just...

...Operations Decision ECO550 Assignment 2 Lydia L. Brooks February 16, 2014 Operations Decision Introduction There are countless low calorie microwavable food options in the market today that are available for purchase. As people experience a higher income, they can afford a better lifestyle than was previously accessible; therefore, people’s cooking style has changed. Instead of using traditional cooking methods, people now use microwaves to cook. With this microwave usage rise, a rise in microwavable food items has also occurred. With so many diverse products available it is so very easy to find and purchase a healthy choice of microwavable food. A low-calorie or healthy selection of diet choice is one that includes a good source of protein; in addition to containing a minimum of 3 grams of fiber (to satisfy), and also has no more than 600 milligrams of sodium (Zelman, n.d.). Some of the manufacturer options are: Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice. Both of them are major competitors in the frozen food market. Lean Cuisine, a part of Stouffer’s (which dates back to the 1920’s) was acquired by Nestlé 1981 and has since then expanded its market in the US, Canada and Australia. Lean Cuisine offers a wide variety of frozen foods and is one of the top choices for low calorie food (Nestle', n.d.). Healthy Choice, manufactured by ConAgra, is another principal low calorie frozen food supplier. They are Lean Cuisine’s biggest competitor. The market segment is decided...

...Marketability of an Organization? Abstract Every type of organization both small and large needs marketing to survive and continue in business. Even though marketing may not be the reason why an organization was established, it stands as the core of business behaviors. Any type of organization can become a not-for-profit organization, but why? Why compete with for-profit businesses or go through the hassle of becoming established with the IRS? Not-for-profit organizations continue to show growth in its market of the US economy, equaling or even rivaling with their for-profit counter parts. How Does Establishing Not-For-Profit (501c(3)) Status Benefit the Marketability of An Organization? A Review of the Literature Not-for-profit organizations (NPO’s) serve a very important role in society and thus, are often given a special status.

The Section 501 status grants tax-exempt status within 24 different categories of organizations. (Andreasen & Kotler, 2008) 1. Are Not-For-Profit Organization Business Savvy? 2. What are the perceptions of Not-For-Profit Organizations? 3. How do Not-For-Profit’s differ from For-Profit Organizations? 4. Why become a Not-For-Profit Organization?
