The Antecedents Of Social Contagion On Social Networking Platforms, Michael Fisher

Student Scholarship

Social networking platforms, systems designed to provide digital content services specifically for social network sites, continue to develop through a rapid combination of components forming a service ecology that is much more than a single tool or service. In spite of this development, the most widely utilized theories of technology adoption and usage have focused on single user level tool adoption which limits their explanatory power of services platforms. These platforms have experienced tremendously rapid growth rates and the current state-of-the-art research attempts to explain this phenomenon through an economic or network effect lens, which fall short in explaining individual …

Concept Paper: The Impact Of The Internet On Airline Pricing, William G. Brunger

Student Scholarship

The Airline Industry has experienced considerable change since the Airline Deregulation Act took effect in 1978, both because of the new business climate engendered by deregulation and because of technological advances in and surrounding the industry. One of the most powerful change agents has been the Internet, which is widely used in the sale and distribution of airline tickets. Several researchers have noted that the rise of the Internet has been accompanied by a decrease in airline fares. Previous studies have suggested several causal categories--for example, reduced search costs, greater transparency, mistrust, uncertainty, more effective buying strategies--but have not studied …

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 …

Physician Inter-Personal & Communication Competencies As Measured By Patient, Peer & Self Surveys: Predicting Patient Satisfaction Results From Peer Ratings, Michael J. Deegan

Student Scholarship

The study was intended as a pilot to determine the feasibility and utility of using patient and peer survey instruments to assess participating physician inter-personal and communication skills and humanistic qualities. A longer term objective is to provide practicing physicians constructive insights into their communication and inter-personal effectiveness with patients, peers and other members of the care team. The study relied on a secondary database obtained from the study sponsor. Original data was collected from 100 voluntary participating physicians (PP), 1,000 professional peers (10/PP), and 2,500 patients (25/PP) under the care of the participating physicians. Previously validated peer and patient …
