Ethics And Entertaining In Business: A Qualitative And Quantitative International Study, Stefanie L. Boyer, Michael Rodriguez

Marketing Department Faculty Journal Articles

Student expectations of entertaining have ethical implications for business in the global workforce. This twopart study examines entertaining from an international workforce perspective. A content analysis of 55 French and American graduating business students illustrates cultural differences in ethical challenges of entertaining related to boundaries, drinking, resources and bribes. Utilizing Partial Least Squares (PLS) and Hofstede's model as a framework, we analyzed the data from 228 American and French business school students and examined the relationship among internal bonding, perceived sales performance and entertaining orientation. Study two finds that entertaining behaviors have ethical implications in international business development in both …

A Formal Grounded Theory On The Ethics Of Transfer In Conflict Resolution, Maurice Apprey

Student Scholarship

A new conflict resolution praxis has been created from two existing practices. The new praxis was the outcome of a meta-ethnographic research method that allows two publications to be synthesized. It does so in a way that allows each separate work to contribute to the new and third product. The result of the synthesis of two two-party conflict resolution programs was further synthesized with a multi-party conflict management schema that uses framing and reframing of positions in negotiations. The result of these qualitative metasyntheses revealed the following: When a third-party facilitation team enters a fractured community, both unofficial gatekeepers of …

Models Of Management In Rwandan Ingos: The Decoupling Of Formal And Informal Management Practices, Cheryl A. Baldwin

Student Scholarship

The proper nature of NGO management has been debated by many scholars, dividing the argument into at least two central themes: those who advocate that third sector organizations should take management more seriously and acknowledge the continuities with mainstream management, and those who argue that third sector organizations are distinct and cannot be managed using mainstream management practices (Lewis, 2002 and Thomas, 1998). A number of questions have been raised regarding the management of NGOs. What type of management is appropriate for NGOs? Does the management of these organizations differ from other sectors? What management practices are being used by …

The Nonprofit Sector: Where Women Go To Work, Jane Van Buren

Student Scholarship

Nonprofit organizations have a history in the United States of fostering pluralism, diversity and freedom. They play vital roles as advocates and in identifying and addressing unmet human needs in their communities. Most of the recent major social and political movements such as AIDS, civil rights, environmental protection, etc., that have animated American life have all operated through private, nonprofit organizations. Across the United States there are approximately 11 million nonprofit employees, 70 percent of whom are female, who act as the guardians of social justice and community values, and as champions of high quality, equitable, diverse and affordable service …

Sources Of Social Capital In Community Engagement Efforts, Suzanne K. Moore

Student Scholarship

Research on community engagement and collaboration with public institutions has not rigorously studied the sources of social capital at the micro level. By studying local school board experiences in engaging the community, I will advance the knowledge in this area. Local school boards have a distinct role in the leadership of public schools. Although practitioner oriented research has revealed the positive impact of community engagement and collaboration with public education, national studies and the author’s “lived world” have shown that board member policies and practices are not consistent with recommendations in the studies. I propose that the sources of social …

Implementing School Wide Service Learning In A Middle School: An Exploratory Study Of The Teacher's Motivation, Patricia J. Mintz

Student Scholarship

This exploratory research examines the reasons that teachers are motivated to implement service- learning projects in a particular middle school. Service learning is defined as "a teaching and learning approach that integrates community service with academic study to enrich learning, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities" (National Commission on Service Learning, 2002). Because the use of service learning is not mandated or required by this school, some teachers are engaging in a behavior that goes beyond the basic requirements of their instructional role in the classroom without additional reward or monetary compensation. This research uses the subcategories of organizational citizenship …

The Pursuit Of Clinical Quality And Patient Safety: Challenges Presented By Bureaucratic Structures, Organizational Complexity And Professional Ethos, Michael J. Deegan

Student Scholarship

Clinical quality and patient safety are important features of contemporary medical care. Health care organizations and professionals are being urged to make significant improvements in care delivery and care outcomes; including a reduction in the risk of inadvertent patient injury associated with the care process. This study describes an opportunity to observe how a health care system and its professional staff reviewed and revised current clinical quality and patient safety programs. The intent was to better understand the attributes and mental models organizational members brought to this task and to appreciate the influence organizational structure and culture had on the …

Happenings At The Local Volunteer Fire Station: Analyzing The Role Community Service Organizations Can Play In Transforming High Risk Youth, Daniel A. Cohen

Student Scholarship

This ethnography starts at the beginning, with a review of the relevant literature on juvenile delinquency and on reform programs for juvenile delinquency. Simply put, there are major issues in the way that society is dealing with the problem of juvenile delinquency. Juvenile delinquency itself is a huge societal problem. For instance, "each year, the juvenile justice system spends billions of dollars to handle approximately 7,000,000 youths...the problem of juvenile delinquency exacts a high toll on society in terms of loss of property, life and each year, more disaffected youth" (Ozanne, et al P185). After examining the relevant literature and …

America In The 21st Century: Finding Harmony Between Economic And Social Goals, Janet Joyce Bennett

Student Scholarship

As we enter the 21st century, Americans have much of which to be proud: we are seen as the strongest and most influential country in the world: our way of life - everything from clothes to movies to economic policies - are seen as the ideal to which many people in other countries aspire. But America also has a dark side: people who must eat out of garbage cans and sleep on sidewalks; urban areas that are unsafe places in which to live; schools that are crumbling around students who have lost their inspiration; and mass media that sell sex, …

Warming Up To Climate Change Risk Disclosure, Jeffrey M. Mcfarland

Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law

Investors are clamoring for companies to include more climate change risk disclosure in their periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Yet public companies in the United States do a poor job of disclosing to investors how climate change affects their businesses. Although there have been several proposals for more voluntary disclosure of these risks and one petition for guidance from the SEC, these proposals are not effecting changes in disclosure practices quickly enough. This Article builds on existing proposals to create guidelines for mandatory climate change risk disclosure in periodic securities filings. The guidelines seek to …

How To Keep Household Accounts, A Manual Of Family Finance, Charles Waldo Haskins

Haskins and Sells Publications

Originally published by: Harper & Brothers; This little book is not a treatise on book-keeping. It is less, and it is more. Far less, because it treats of but one of many thousand applications of that useful art; and more, because, beginning with the very simplest exposition of general principles, it endeavors to unfold, as pleasantly as may be, a science of accountancy, and to indicate its relations, in the sphere of domestic economy, to finance, administration, and the other sciences of social life. In view of the present unsatisfactory condition of instruction in domestic accountancy, it has been thought …

Catalogues That Tell How, Elmer L. Hartmann

Bachelors’ Theses

The most important factor in the production of a good catalogue is a perfectly clear idea as to exactly what the catalogue is meant to accomplish. It is often tritely said that a catalogue is to "sell goods." In truth, the best thing that a catalogue can do is to procure "an order" for goods but before this can happen some­ thing must occur after the receipt of the catalogue before any goods are actually sold, and that something generally happens in the mind of the buyer.

Accountancy; Accountants' Department; Growth Of Accountancy In England; Profession Of Accountancy, Banking Law Journal, Frank Blacklock

Individual and Corporate Publications

We take from the "Law Journal," a magazine published in London, a series of articles which appeared during the year 1872, describing this movement, containing much interesting information, and many flattering utterances concerning the scope and dignity of the accountant's calling. Much that is said in these articles is very pertinent at the present time and on this side of the water, and we think they will prove of interest to our accountant readers.
