Purpose of the CCI Project Every person grows up in a culture. Every person lives in a culture. It may be that a person’s culture naturally includes interaction with other cultures. Or a person can live fairly insulated from cultures other than their own. This Cross-Cultural Immersion Project is an opportunity for you to encounter people from another culture and to grow from the experience. After you have completed this project you should be able to: • Recognize elements of your own and another’s culture. • Reflect on the significance and value of elements in another culture. • Demonstrate respect for those of another culture. • Display Christ-like values when engaging others of a different culture. To do this, plan and spend at least 20 of your 200 hours of Field Study by serving with and among people with a culture different from your own. It could with people across town or around the world.

Page 104 “R ead the next chapter in the textbook by Tuesday.” “Read the first two articles in the course pack by next class.” “The test will cover the first hundred pages in your book, so be sure you've read it.” One day, three different reading assignments, Jeff Knowles thought as the instructor of his last class of the day delivered this last instruction to read. It would be hard enough for Jeff to complete all this reading during an ordinary week. But this week he had to finish painting his garage and had volunteered to help his brother move. On top of that, there was his part-time landscaping job—and, Jeff suddenly remembered, he'd agreed to work overtime on Friday. Still, Jeff figured that even with all his work, family, and household obligations, he could still find time to do all his reading—except Jeff believed he was an unusually slow reader. When he pushed himself to read quicker and absorb more, he actually read and retained less. For Jeff, the problem wasn't just completing the reading—it was remembering it when test time rolled around. LookingAhead For people like Jeff, reading assignments are the biggest challenge...

Multiple tardies or leaving early will be considered a “pattern” or “attendance problem.” Other factors, such as degree of lateness or leaving early, may be considered. When a pattern arises, disciplinary action will be taken. If a verifiable condition exists, such as a traffic accident forcing a road closure, an ice storm (or other act of God, which results in an employee being late to work,), such lateness will not be counted against the employee. There may be occasions it may be necessary for you to be absent or take time off from work.

...Francisco Campus The purpose of this guide is to help you maximize your learning when using case studies. It outlines some key issues that will help you learn from the case analysis method. In most graduate courses, students use cases from actual companies to practice strategic analysis and to gain some experience in the task of creating and implementing strategy. A case describes, in a factual manner, the events and organizational circumstances surrounding a particular managerial problem. It’s as if the reader is inside the organization (at the time the case was written) and has most, if not all, relevant information, facts, and circumstances. The student’s role in case analysis is to diagnose and evaluate the situation described in the case. You then develop recommendations, supporting arguments, and the appropriate action steps that should be taken to rectify the problem presented in the case. After reading this guide, you will be able to: * Understand what a case study is * Appreciate the benefits of using case studies in the learning of strategic management and how their use can help develop your managerial skills * Use the key steps in analyzing case studies * Apply theoretical concepts and frameworks to the case material The case approach to strategic analysis is an exercise in “learning by doing.” Because cases provide you with detailed information about conditions and problems of different industries and companies, your task of analyzing organization...
