Business Meal Etiquette: A Survey Of Student Awareness And Preferences, Marsha L. Bayless, Timothy W. Clipson, Clive Muir

Faculty Publications

The business meal is a popular activity in the workplace and is often included as part of the interview process. Sometimes it is used as a screening mechanism to determine if a candidate possesses certain social (soft) skills suited for a company. Thus, it is fitting that college students understand business meal etiquette as they embark on their careers. This article reports the findings of a survey of students’ awareness of business meal etiquette and their preferences for possible training and development.


Crafting Biographical Sketches In Business Classes, Clive Muir 2013 Stephen F Austin State University

Crafting Biographical Sketches In Business Classes, Clive Muir

Faculty Publications

When students are asked to introduce themselves to the class at the beginning of the semester, their rote speeches usually consist of: hometown, classification, major, campus affiliation, and some random thoughts. However, after about the tenth student, very few of the introductions are memorable or can be differentiated from the others. For that and other reasons, I designed the biographical sketch (bio sketch) exercise as both a writing assignment and a way for students to present themselves to one another in a more meaningful way. This paper describes some purposes and techniques for creating effective bio sketches in business classes.


When The Course Management System Isn't Enough, M. Gail Weatherly, Susan Evans Jennings 2013 Nelson Rusche College of Business, Stephen F. Austin State University

When The Course Management System Isn't Enough, M. Gail Weatherly, Susan Evans Jennings

Faculty Publications

Many articles have been written extoling the need for interactivity in the online classroom. Zundel (2006) states that not only should interactivity be effectively integrated, but that it is essential for enhancing the learning in online courses just as interactivity is essential for on-campus learners. Mabrito (2004) contends that success is enhanced in online courses by engaging students as active learners rather than passive participants. Mabrito goes on to state that this engagement should include ample opportunities for students to interact with not only the course content, but also with the instructor and fellow classmates.

Corporate Historical Responsibility (Chr): Addressing A Past Of Forced Labor At Volkswagen, Claudia Janssen Danyi 2013 Eastern Illinois University

Corporate Historical Responsibility (Chr): Addressing A Past Of Forced Labor At Volkswagen, Claudia Janssen Danyi

Faculty Research and Creative Activity

This article introduces corporate historical responsibility (CHR), a concept that can guide organizations when addressing dark corporate histories. CHR holds that organizations have responsibilities toward victims of past corporate practices and toward present reconciliatory discourse. Volkswagen’s discourse about its history of forced labor during WW II serves as an example of CHR. The rhetorical analysis illustrates that CHR hinges on the recognition of the past as a moral issue and on the organization’s ability to create historical accountability, take responsibility, make public acknowledgements, and remember its past. It further illustrates that CHR creates sustainable policies that can strengthen corporate citizenship …

Determinants Of Corporate Environmental And Social Disclosure In Chinese Listed Mining, Electricity Supply And Chemical Companies Annual Reports, Junru Zhang

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

As the environmental and social disclosing systems have been developed over decades, the climate of corporate environmental and social responsibility is becoming mature nowadays globally. What and how environment-sensitive companies (i.e. companies that are more likely to do environmental damages) disclose such information voluntarily are extensively concerned by the public, especially in China, where strong debatable issues constantly raise as a result of the rapid economic growth.
