...In the case study, “Getting the Message Across”, Ann Caldera is the program director of the campus radio station, WCBA. The radio station is seen favorably by the community, but often crosses the line regarding FCC policies on communication. Students, working for the radio station, tend to take the position lightly, not completely understanding the full ramification of failing to operate within the FCC guidelines. This can partially be attributed to Caldera’s poorly executed efforts of communication. Handing out a pamphlet of policies is hardly an effective way of stressing the importance of any given set of rules. In addition, Caldera is known as the “nicest advisor on campus” (Northouse, 2013, Kindle Location 2363). While being well-liked is a desired trait, it does not appear to be meeting the needs of the station. Caldera is failing to apply situational leadership to her knowledge of each of her DJs to effectively manage expectations and outcomes. She also lacks an efficient training and communication system and may stand to gain from implementing a knowledge management system to resolve the troubles being experienced within WCBA. Situational Leadership Explained The situational approach involves adjusting one’s leadership style to the development of the subordinate(s). Northouse (2013) explains how the various leadership styles should be applied to subordinates at different levels of development; however, he makes considerable mention that leaders must acknowledge...

II. TEACHING NOTES AND REVIEW OUTLINE A. Leadership roles are changing in today’s dynamic, global environment. 1. Experts state that five key leadership roles will be essential for successful managers in the next decade: a. providing a strategic vision to motivate and inspire; b. empowering employees; c. accumulating and sharing internal knowledge; d. gathering and integrating external information; and e. challenging the status quo. 2. New trends, such as telecommuting, virtual organizations, and technological advances, affect the practice and study of leadership. B. A leader’s “style” refers to the way in which he or she influences followers. Classic studies and modern theories have implications for leader style. 1. The Hawthorne studies and McGregor’s Theories X and Y delineation drew attention to the need for humanistic styles of leadership. 2. The Iowa studies examined the impact of autocratic, democratic, and laissez faire styles; the Michigan group found...

...Ethics Study Review 1) Write a paper (1,250-1,500 words) that describes how to use the method of ethical decision making: a) What are the dimensions of the ethical dilemma? b) What are the issues? c) Apply the four core ethical principles and the process of ethical decision making. There are many complex ethical issues that can affect patients and families in the health care setting. One of which is end of life care. Decision making in terminal care is a demanding and stressful duty for all involved that can take place in any setting in which patients die in hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, and at home. For people reaching and the end of life, continuing to suffer may appear worse than death. The suffering can be so great that the option of ending one’s life through either euthanasia or physician assisted suicide may appear to be a reasonable and merciful choice. “Euthanasia is an act where a third party, usually implied to be a physician, terminates the life of a person; either passively or actively. 14 Euthanasia is also defined as “the mercy killing of the hopelessly ill, injured or incapacitated.” (Athar, 2006). Active euthanasia requires performing some action that terminates the life of a person. An example of an active euthanasia intervention would be a situation where a physician would inject a patient with a lethal dose of a drug.14 In cases of voluntary, active euthanasia, a competent patient who wishes to avoid suffering and a slow dying process asks a...

Kirkman1, Kevin B. Lowe2 and Cristina B. Gibson3 1 Department of Management, Mays Business School, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA; 2Department of Business Administration, Joseph M. Bryan School of Business and Economics, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, North Carolina, USA; 3Graduate School of Management, University of California, Irvine, California, USA Abstract Since Geert Hofstede’s Culture’s Consequences: International Differences in WorkRelated Values (Sage, 1980) was published, researchers have utilized Hofstede’s cultural values framework in a wide variety of empirical studies. We review 180 studies published in 40 business and psychology journals and two international annual volumes between 1980 and June 2002 to consolidate what is empirically verifiable about Hofstede’s cultural values framework. We discuss limitations in the Hofstede-inspired research and make recommendations for researchers who use Hofstede’s framework in the future.

...The three most important things I have learned while attending Bethel University. Richard A. Harris 6 November 2010 Ms. Emily Yttri Bethel University MOD 300 Abstract This paper will discuss the three most important things I have learned while attending Bethel University. I will talk about the amount of diversity in management styles displayed in the classroom that I was not aware existed. I will discuss the myriad of communications styles exhibited by each individual student and lastly, the transition from the very structured military life to the seemingly easy-going civilian life. Will be addressed. To conclude these findings, I will discuss and provide honest feedback on my methods of handling situations. This paper will describe the three most important things that I have learned while attending Bethel University. They are: 1) there is more diversity in the workplace than I realized; 2) there are a myriad of communications styles exhibited by each individual student and 3) the civilian environment is vastly different than its military counterpart. I have learned that instructors and their style of delivering material varies widely. The preparation and delivery of material is very different than I would have expected from students. The military environment is very different in many ways from that of the almost casual civilian environment. Prior to attending Bethel University, I was not aware of the many different management...

...Instructor’s Solutions Manual to Concepts of Programming Languages Tenth Edition R.W. Sebesta ©2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Upper Saddle River, NJ. All Rights Reserved. Preface Changes for the Tenth Edition T he goals, overall structure, and approach of this tenth edition of Concepts of Programming Languages remain the same as those of the nine earlier editions. The principal goals are to introduce the main constructs of contemporary programming languages and to provide the reader with the tools necessary for the critical evaluation of existing and future programming languages. A secondary goal is to prepare the reader for the study of compiler design, by providing an indepth discussion of programming language structures, presenting a formal method of describing syntax and introducing approaches to lexical and syntatic analysis. The tenth edition evolved from the ninth through several different kinds of changes. To maintain the currency of the material, some of the discussion of older programming languages has been removed. For example, the description of COBOL’s record operations was removed from Chapter 6 and that of Fortran’s Do statement was removed from Chapter 8. Likewise, the description of Ada’s generic subprograms was removed from Chapter 9 and the discussion of Ada’s asynchronous message passing was removed from Chapter 13. On the other hand, a section on closures, a section on calling subprograms indirectly, and a section on generic functions in...

...pressure on CIL to deliver annual production growth rates in excess of 7%. The company has a 201 7 production target of 61 5 MT.[1 ] Coal India’s track record raises questions over its ability to deliver this rate of growth. In addition, serious governance issues are likely to impact CIL’s financial performance. These pose a financial and reputational risk to CIL, its shareholders and lenders, while macroeconomic issues in the Indian energy economy pose a long term threat to Coal India. • CIL’s attempts to access new mining areas are facing widespread opposition from local communities and environmental groups. With its reliance on open-pit mining, access to new mines are essential for CIL to achieve production targets. • CIL has grown reliant on shallow, open pit mining for 90% of its production, and has lost in-house expertise on deep mining techniques. • CIL has a record of poor corporate governance, manifested in rampant corruption, poor worker safety and repeated legal violations. This has, in the last year alone, led to penalties and closure notices for over 50 mines, threatening both its financial performance and reputation. • CIL’s financial performance has been affected by directives from majority shareholder Government of India to keep coal prices artifically low.[2] According to one estimate, this cost CIL $1 .75 billion in the 201 2-1 3 financial year alone.[3] The government has also taken away coal blocks allocated to CIL and given them to private players.[4] •...

...PRACTICE & PROBLEMS OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT OF BANGLADESH ARMY INTRODUCTION 1. Human beings are the most important resources in an organization. A firm’s / organization’s success depends on the capabilities of its members. Most problems, challenges, opportunities and frustrations in an organization are people related. Human Resource Management is one of the toughest duties of a manager or leader since humans differ in terms of attitudes, values, aspirations, motivations, assumptions, psychology, and life goals. Looking at today’s competitive world, managerial level staff will require more conceptual and strategic skills. Managers have to be proactive, able to anticipate technological developments and prepare their staff for whatever technological changes that might take place. This will be a successful task only when the HRM itself is fully aware of those changes and has the means to deal with them. HR managers have a number of roles to fulfill. They are the guardians of the manpower- the key assets of the organizations. They are also counselor and protector of employees and directly responsible for their effectiveness in the organization. They need to do their jobs in keeping with the existing laws, rules and regulations of the organization, and promote harmony at the workplace. This has direct bearing in a healthier and more attractive work environment. The success or failure of HR depends also on the top management’s recognition of the importance of HRM, and...

...Consulting July 2012 1 Introduction Welcome to Secure’s White Paper on Visual Data Security. As data gets ever more versatile and mobile, we want to make sure that individuals, businesses, organisations and governments across Europe are aware of the threats posed by visual data security breaches. Simply put, visual data security is ensuring that information cannot be seen by unauthorised individuals. This is particularly important when dealing with private or sensitive information, and the threat of a breach has risen enormously with the shift in working practices towards increased mobility, flexibility and shared resources. This White Paper has been commissioned to give some background to visual data security and provide simple, easy to follow advice on how to prevent a breach and protect individuals’ personal data and organisations’ commercially sensitive information. It’s not about constraining people’s working habits or holding back the tide, but about embracing new trends and empowering employers and employees to take small steps to work in a safe and secure manner. By promoting a greater understanding of these risks and the behavioural and practical procedures that can be adopted to reduce them, we hope to enhance data security across the continent. We hope you find the Paper of interest. For any further information please don’t hesitate to contact us on info@visualdatasecurity.eu. Happy reading and stay secure! Secure is: 2 1.
