Effective At Dillard’s at Quail Springs Mall there are multiple techniques that they use to communicate; however, there are few that they use that affect the company in a positive way. Some of the ways that they communicate that are effective are e-mails, meetings, face-to-face communication, reports or memos, phone calls, and even video confesses. Most of the time these ways of communication has helped the store to improve relationships with customers and other co-workers. Because the people who communicate listen and question the people that are trying to communicate to make sure that they understand what they have been told. According to Small Business by Demand Media technology can be more deliberate for Dillard’s. “Although technology has made communication instantaneous, so you don't have to spend hours planning and composing before you communicate and wait for a long period for the reply, it has also made planning deliberate communication periods more important.

...in-store shelf space for her True Body’s product will involve marketing, contracting additional stores/chains to carry her products and involving the consumer through social media. Marketing: This can involve developing a campaign with attractive displays strategically positioned in stores. Also, developing a series of different packaging to make brand stand out. Quarterly sales and coupons to increase brand awareness. Expanding: Expanding to more locations and store chains would help build the brand presence in the market. Not limiting her brand to only “health cautious” stores but also make product available at convenience stores. Not everyone shops at Whole Foods, so make the product available beyond that limit of grocery store. Internet/Social Media: Encourage the consumer to stay connect to the brand and products through social media – Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Create an online campaign that provides giveaways by using the #truebodyproducts.

...The following communication barriers in organizations and ways to overcome them will be the main topic of this article. 1. Information Overload. Too much information is as bad as too little because it reduces the audiences ability to concentrate effectively on the most important messages. People facing information overload sometimes try to cope by ignoring some of the messages, by delaying responses to messages they deem unimportant, by answering only parts of some messages, by responding inaccurately to certain messages, by taking less time with each message, or by reacting only superficially to all messages. To overcome information overload, realize that some information is not necessary, and make necessary information easily available. Give information meaning rather than just passing it on, and set priorities for dealing with the information flow. Some information isn't necessary. 2. Message Complexity. When formulating business messages, you communicate both as an individual and as representative of an organization. Thus you must adjust your own ideas and style so that they are acceptable to your employer. In fact, you may be asked occasionally to write or say something that you disagree with personally. Suppose you work as a recruiter for your firm. You've interviewed a job candidate you believe would make an excellent employee, but others in the firm have rejected this applicant. Now you have to write a letter turning down the candidate: You must communicate your firms...

In addition to pension reporting requirements, an explanation of the requirements for eliminating segments is also provided. Defined Contribution Plan In a defined contribution plan, companies will define how much they plan to contribute each period to the employee’s retirement benefits. The company defines the period. The company will contribute the amount to a funding agency such as a pension fund. The company is not liable for the amount of benefits the employee receives upon retirement. Therefore, the company must only contribute the amount that was set forth each period. Defined benefit plans, on the other hand, are more complex. Instead of contributing each period to the employees retirement account, the company agrees to provide a certain benefit amount each period upon retirement. Therefore, the company must ensure that the funding for such plans are adequate to cover the employee’s retirement benefit plan. Non-GAAP Funding Methods A company that offers defined benefit plans to their employees...

...The Effects of Media Globalization By Mary Hickman Media globalization cannot be stopped. It is a result of new communications technology. It is also the prerequisite and facilitator for all other forms of globalization. Multi-national media is critical to global industries. Many Americans feel that we ought to enjoy the benefits of media globalization, such as global communication, rather than fearing and attempting to avoid the consequences—which ironically include hindrance of free speech. Communicating internationally has never been easier. Thanks to new media platforms, we can have a video conversation with a loved one who is 10,000 miles away or keep up-to-date on the stock market with our cell phones. The internet can also improve our health or save our lives. Your doctor may send an X-ray or MRI to another doctor in India or China for a second opinion and have it within hours. “…An Israeli company is making big advances in compression technology to allow for easier, better transfers of CAT scans via the Internet so you can quickly get a second opinion from a doctor half a world away” (Friedman, 2005). Thomas L. Friedman, quoting Craig J. Mundie, a chief technical officer for Microsoft: “‘The Windows-powered PC enabled millions of individuals, for the first time ever, to become authors of their own content in digital form, which meant that content could be shared far and wide’”. Friedman’s book underlines his belief that media has the power...

...Accountability in Reporting Memo Over the years, there has been an increase in demand for accountability and scrutiny by the public when it comes to governmental accounting, being local, state or federal government. The not-for-profit entities are also under close scrutiny and observation and the general public wants to know how a not-for-profit organization manages its resources, mainly because the public needs to know if a donation to such an entity would be used to accomplish the written goals and missions of such entities or organizations. When it comes to governmental organizations, the tax payers need to know what is being done with the money that they are paying in taxes, and if the governments are using the resources wisely. Media is also putting a lot of pressure on governments and not-for-profit entities, demanding transparency and accountability for the resources used. The principle of accountability requires that the local, state and federal governments report and answer to the citizens, and by doing this the governments need to justify the raising of public resources and the purposes for which the resources raised are used. There are three different governing boards that establish accounting principles, standards and rules on how to recognize and report accounting related transactions. There is the FASAB, which stands for Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board. This is the board that establishes accounting principles and standards for reporting for the...
