Bautista Student CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Words are basic element in communication, to communicate effectively one must know what exactly he/she wanted to express. Use specific rather than general words avoid clincher, there repeated words lost its effectiveness, because of redundancy. Do not use slang, jargon, or foreign words. It only confuse your listener, you also avoid euphemisms that can create subtle ideas. Above all avoid self–favorite words. In this world of complex individual men and women are two distinct creatures, who actually had opposite expressions, ideas and choice of words. This is the main reason why conflicts arise. A lot of studies show the diversity of men to women. To start with let us explore the languages each one utilizes. Facilitating better connotation between sexes, doesn’t mean that men need to completely change their behaviors or that women need to change, but in order to improve communication and have more harmonious relationship and effective work environment, we each have to work harder to understand and respect our differences. The men speak “menglish” women say “it’s a girl thing“. It may sound the same the same but words and phrases have entirely different meanings thus...

They therefore need solutions robust enough to cope with multiple government legislation, multiple currencies, multiple languages and which can offer integration, customization, multiple platform options and more. As a global business we understand these challenges and have developed Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions that meet the demands international businesses generate.

...Finance Staples has a weak financial rating despite its overall strong IFEM rating. In looking at valuation ratios, Staples does look pretty good if you were looking to invest in this industry. Although Staples is performing well below the industry in P/E Ratio (9.11 vs. 14.5) they do have a lower price to cash, price to book and price to sales ratios and they are paying higher dividends (3.45 vs. 1.80) when compared to the industry. These indicators do paint a more favorable picture for investors. This fact does not offset some of the weaker financial indicators. Even though their 5 year growth rate is nearly double the industry (6.82 vs. 3.86), recent growth rates are very alarming as they measuring far below the industry average (-1.10 vs. 5.11). This is especially concerning because it shows growth in the industry but a retraction for Staples. Total debt to equity looks okay when measured against the industry (28.70 vs. 41.35) but margins are just over half if the industry average (26.91 vs. 49.85). Add to these weak indicators the excessive amount of goodwill ($4 billion) and Staples must be evaluated as a weak financial company. A shrinking...

...Running Head: ADDRESSING ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE Operationalizing Quality Assurance in Rehabilitation Agencies: The Argument for Addressing Organizational Culture Jared C. Schultz Utah State University Russell Thelin Utah State Office of Rehabilitation Note: The authors would like to thank Dr. Larry Kontosh at West Virginia University for his feedback and direction during the development of this manuscript. Abstract The issue of Quality Assurance (QA) within the State/Federal Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program is currently receiving significant attention. State VR agencies are increasingly developing QA plans, both to meet the requirements of the Rehabilitation Services Administration, and because of the recognized value such plans bring to program development and improvement activities. The business literature clearly indicates that a large percentage of quality initiatives fail due to the organization failing to address organizational culture change as part of the quality process (Cameron, 2006). This article provides an overview of the Competing Values Framework for organizational change, and discusses the application this paradigm to the state VR setting. Recommendations for state VR agencies to include organizational cultural change in the QA process are provided. Operationalizing Quality Assurance in Rehabilitation Agencies: The Argument for Addressing Organizational Culture The research from the business literature indicates that the majority...
