...address or meet what is important. Stakeholders Stakeholders are the individuals who are essential in which the redrawing will affect. The stakeholders who affect or have an issue with redrawing the school boundaries are the children attending or want to attend the school district. The parents with who attend the school district and the employees who works for the school district. The communities around the areas of the schools that are affected from the district that needs to be redrawn. Even though the issues from these parties are important the school boards needs to create a win-win strategy. Negotiation Strategy The negotiation strategy in which the school board need to create is needs to meet both the concerns for the stakeholders and their own party. Without addressing both parties the redrawing of boundaries can create a win-lose situation in which can affect the school board in the end. The consequences can range from children leaving the district, to losing the employees currently working at their establishments. The school district will use integrative bargaining to gain and meet the needs of the stakeholders and prevent any issues.

...Mark Price, has challenged those very ideals with the creation of his far lighter, stronger, and more flexible foam to make their boards. The issue lies with having the surfing community accepts the fact that change must happen to launch the sport to the next level. Firewire Surfboards was launched in 2005 by Mark Price to create a surfboard that according to him, “Will create wave-riding magic”. Mark Price, a former surfing pro, understands that there is competition that can hinder the success of his business. The biggest hurdle for Firewire is the past. Many surfers prefer to have their equipment custom-shaped to order. To try to tap into this market, Firewire is introducing its first custom board line and so that their product can reach the “hard-core” surfers. Firewire Boards is prepared to sell the new line for a bit more than $600.00. On the other hand, Channel Islands (competitor), sell’s their off-the-rack boards for $ 650.00. In the end, many of the local shops are trying to buy boards from Firewire and put their mane on the product. Firewire is also looking to tap into the developing of boards for beginners that can help them compete with companies like Surftech. Firewire Surfboards has a team of very creative entrepreneurs that had a vision to create the best surfboard available. However, with the creation of their featherweight boards the company should have anticipated both a drawback from veteran surfers along with the excitement of other venders wanting to put...

These breakthroughs have changed Gene One from a $2 million start-up company into a $400 million company on the verge of going public. The original members of Gene One are challenged with organizing the company and preparing it for an initial public offering (IPO) on Wall Street. The IPO requires the company to make several changes to the structure of the company’s executive board, marketing strategy, and product invention. Leadership at Gene One must identify weaknesses in management concerning the IPO, and the stress associated with going public. Management is challenged with accomplishing one of the following: 1. Gene One becomes a public company and the goals suggested by the chief executive officer (CEO) are met by adding new people to the existing staff and retaining the team’s culture. 2. Gene One becomes a public company and the goals suggested by the CEO are met by removing people and changing the company’s culture. Both of these options require management to move forward with the IPO and to make stressful decisions concerning the company’s future. Dealing with the stress of the change will determine the success of the IPO. “In an intelligently managed organization, that leadership isn’t a randomly operating process; it’s ‘a propulsive force given motion by purpose, and...

...Advisory Boards In almost all type of business situations the creation of an advisory board working along with a governance board can add tremendous value to an organization. A governance board of an organization is responsible of all activity, ensuring the success of the agency while setting objectives that reflect the interest of the owners. They are ultimately responsible for everything within the organization. The decision to create an advisory board is to deliver more support and direction to both the governance board and to the organization’s staff. They do not have the same responsibility of ensuring the well-being of an organization, but can be beneficial in applying outside objectivity to all types of different situations concerning an organization. In developing advisory boards and creating relationship amongst the governance board or the CEO can be a really added value, it can help the organization by; * Outside Sources Brings New Ideas: A governance board or CEO benefits by hearing different viewpoints and possibilities of how to expand their organization. When a group such as a governance board works together they may tend to think alike and not look at different avenues to proceed. * Receiving Advice from others with Specific Knowledge: An advisory board can be chosen for their specific knowledge in areas that the board or CEO does not have that specific information and can therefore help the organization make better decisions for their organizations...

...Materials – Fridge Board The materials needed to create the Fridge Board are not extensive. First would be the backer which would be Natural Cork Sheets. Each sheet is $4.99 and to create one Fridge Board it will take a little more than 1 sheet. Ordering in multiple quantities allows for the board to come in one continuous sheet which would help with custom orders. The scrap will also be minimized if sheets are come in a continuous form. The next item needed is the metal that will be attached to the cork board, Stainless Steel Sheet 304. One sheet of 12"x18" stainless steel is $31.58 and would be the standard size for the Fridge Board. Custom orders would be priced dependent on what size is needed. The next item needed in the creation of the Fridge Board is Instant Bonding Glue – INSTANT JET. The bonding glue is $11.99 per bottle and would be used to bond the metal to the cork sheets. The expensive glue is required due to the types of material that are being bonded together. The final item needed to finish creating the Fridge Board is Scotch Removable Adhesive Putty. The putty costs $2.99 per package and I would use approximately ¼ of the package per Board (not purchased from Inventables.com). It is important to use a product that will not damage the refrigerator yet can stick to almost any surface. Putty is easily removable, can stick to any surface. 2. New Product, and application of materials The product I am creating is called The Fridge Board. The stainless...

...by the Federal Reserve Board by using tools to control the supply of money. Tools used to control the supply of money by the Federal Reserve Board are open-market operations, the reserve ratio, and the discount rate. This paper explains how the Federal Reserve Board uses these tools to control the supply of money, explains how the tools influence the money supply and macroeconomic factors, how money is created, and recommended monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Board A series of bank failures resulted in a severe financial panic in 1907 and millions of depositors lost their savings. Consequently, the National Monetary Commission was established to examine ways of restructuring the banking system to ensure that history does not repeat itself (Economics 180, 2009). To address the problem of restructuring, the Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 (FRB: Federal Reserve Act, 2008). There are 12 Federal Reserve banks that act as a central banker for the banks in their region, which perform clearing checks between private banks, holding bank reserves, providing currency, and providing loans. The Federal Reserve Board is controlled by a seven person Board of Governors in which each governor is appointed to a 14-year term by the president of the United States. The long-term is intended to provide the Federal Reserve Board a strong and independent measure of political pressure and influence. The president of the United States selects a board member to act as a chairman...

...Functionality of Smart Boards Abstract Smart boards are an up and coming tool that is being used not only in classrooms around the world, but also during business meetings. This device allows the users to interact with the board manually on the board while displaying all actions clearing to the room. This paper will outline the benefits and set-backs of Smart board devices, as well as the creation and technology used to manufacture the Smart board itself. Functionality of Smart Boards A Smart Board is an interactive device that uses a projector to transmit the image from a computer onto the board. The image and content can then manipulated by a finger, a hand, or a stylus; acting as a traditional blackboard used in schools. The board also has the ability to connect to the internet where the user can control what’s on the screen using the computer or the board itself because the screen is touch-sensitive and can therefore control the computer as well. The board is used mainly in classrooms as a learning tool for children to learn from and interact with themselves. Businesses also use the board in meetings to display work-related objectives, collaborate on ideas, and then share the work with others digitally. The Smart Board was established in the United States by Smart Technologies Inc. in 1991, and proves to be the biggest producer of the Smart Board today. There are many benefits of the Smart board that could enrich the lives of children, as well as the way in which...

...Ishan Walia 860931111 Dr. Jasso Section 122 EXAM 1 1) On Moral Development a) Lawrence Kohlberg, a professor at both University of Chicago and Harvard, was the creator of the famous “theory of stages of moral development.” This theory consisted of six stages which evaluated the moral reasoning of a person. The theory is divided into three levels, each of which has two stages within them. The levels consist of preconvention level, conventional level and post conventional level. The preconvention level consists of stages one and two. This level focuses on the individual themselves, and according to Kohlberg begins to develop between at and early age (Pegasus page 1). first stage is known as the “punishment and obedience” stage. Here people are put in scenarios where they are trying to avoid punishment both mentally and physically. Here what people ask themselves is “what must I do to not get punished.” An example of this stage can be illustrated by a Nazi soldier during the time of the holocaust. Here the soldier is ordered to kill his friend who happens to be of Jewish faith, now the soldier needs to decide whether he needs to kill his friend to avoid punishment or to stand up for his friend and not kill him and receive punishment. The next stage is called the “instrumental relativist” stage and is where people see the ideal, “treat others how they would treat you.” In this stage a person is to do whatever it takes to survive or get ahead, as they feel anyone in their...

...“Boards are like parents: they need to support, encourage, and inspire greatness in their ‘child’ if the organization is to survive and thrive.” (Lysakowski, 2004) In reviewing the study from Association of Fundraising Professional (AFP), Linda Lysakowski lays out the elements that create an effective nonprofit board. This report is an easy reference for any person, who is interested in nonprofit development, on how to create and develop a board that will have the maximum impact for your organization. The main sections of the AFP report are 1) Board demographics/performance, 2) Identifying and recruiting board members, 3) Involving the board in fundraising, and 4) building a better board. I am interested particularly in this report because of my involvement as Director of External Affairs and how can we as CalRep, maximize the benefit /resources of our board? First, we must understand what make a board effective in order to get the most out of our nonprofit boards. Board Demographics and Performance: This section of the report talks about the importance of creating a board that reflect the community and how nonprofits skip essential steps when they are first establishing boards or adding new members. Some important questions a board must ask themselves are: • Is the board’s ethnic mix representative of community it serves? • Gender diversity? • Age diversity? • Geographic diversity? • Other groups that might have an affinity to the board? The advantages of having...

...with new users coming to the site on a regular basis. As the fastest growing site of all time with a 52% increase of new users in March, the company is extremely valuable. The site is still relatively brand new so worries of profitability should not be considered immediately. There are several options on how to monetize the site. * Sell advertising space for brands on related boards * Have top, promoted advertisements on the front page paid for in bidding contest by brand that it is worth most to * Sell phone applications that direct users on certain boards to websites * Create easy to purchase widgets on Pinterest when viewing your favorite apparel, food items, etc., that work with brand sites There will be problems associated with these methods. Excessive monetization of the site will seem to forward in the eyes of the user. Pinterest has gained its popularity by allowing users to find and experience passions that they were unaware of. To over commercialize the site would be seen as simply another site attempting to profit off consumers passions. The site must work closely with graphic design artists to create a feeling that the site is selling these brands and materials to users in an attempt to help realize their passions instead of profit off them. Company and Market Analysis Due to Pinterest being a web site, there is almost no barrier to entry, only requirements of a server, an IP address, and a website.

...Organizational development and fundraising professionals, as well as board volunteers, have the opportunity to cross boundaries that divide people in other sectors. Whether we view this opportunity with apprehension or enthusiasm depends on our heritage, experiences, beliefs, and vision. Historically, nonprofit boards have offered limited opportunities to develop diverse leadership. 4 Beyond representation: Building diverse board leadership teams Maria Gitin OVER THE YEARS , dialogue on board diversification has evolved from focus on the importance of representing constituents, to “doing the right thing,” which is characterized by opponents as “political correctness,” to the current widely held view that a nondiverse board is missing key potential donors and opinion leaders. Diverse leaders can expand knowledge, create new resources, and open doors to partnerships necessary to fulfill an organization’s mission. Recommended strategies for board diversification must be understood in the context of the deeply divided society of the United States. Although North American cultural issues are the result of a unique history, most elements of diversity planning will apply in other countries as well.
