Making The Decision To Outsource A Service Department: Who Should Deliver Internal Audit Services?, Hubert Glover, Jeffrey Mcmillan, Jean Wells

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

The 2001-2003 wave of financial fraudulent reporting, aggressive earnings management, and overall management integrity issues highlight the important role that an internal audit function can have in protecting organizations and demonstrate how important it is that internal auditors operate with independence and objectivity. This paper highlights the issues organizations face when contemplating the internal audit outsourcing market. The illustrative materials provide exposure to the strategic, analytical, financial and operational decisions involved with retaining or outsourcing a corporate internal audit department.

About Synergy And Dissynergy: Change, Strategic And Chaotic Decision Choices, And Resultant Outcomes, Chris Crawford

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

Change occurs at a rate quicker than most organizations can strategically respond. In fact, like any gambler, decision making in the current business environment is little more than playing the odds in some cases. Nonetheless, organizations attempting to succeed must try to minimize the chaotic element of decision making through the introduction of strategic thinking. Moving toward strategic thought can sometimes propel organizations into a synergistic spiral of decision making - where one decision reveals further opportunities. Likewise, organizations that fail to prepare for the chaotic will find themselves falling into a dissynergistic spiral where failure breeds even more failure. …

American Social Contract: Retirement, Insurance And Financial Viability, Hedayeh Samavati, Carolyn Stumph, David Dilts

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

Since the election of 2004, one burning question has dominated any discussion of the long-term macroeconomic policy of this country. That question is: "will social security remain viable in its current form?" Economists weigh in on a spectrum that ranges from the opinion that social security is not in any trouble to the opinion that social security payments are in immediate peril. This research indicates that, while relatively minor changes of the type the country has undertaken for the last two decades may be necessary, social security is by no means in what any intelligent analyst would consider peril.

Leadership Effectiveness: A "New" Integrative Leadership Model, Raj Selladurai

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

What makes an executive effective? Are effective executives born with some unique abilities and skills? Or do they learn and practice some special strategies that make them superior? This paper explores whether effective executives are born or made, and analyzes some leadership studies done over the years. Also, it suggests an integrative model of effective leadership that organizations may use to develop and enhance better leaders and that individuals may use to improve their organizational leadership.

U.S.S. Online Education: Navigating The High Seas Of Large Classes, Jane Lemaster

International Business and Entrepreneurship Faculty Publications

Higher education has incorporated technology to the point of having 100% web-based degree programs composed of classes of geographically dispersed students taught by faculty from different universities that are also geographically dispersed. This kind of flexibility for learning opportunities is well on its way to being a standard option in education. But there are trade-offs and there are problems not yet solved. Increasing numbers of students create difficulties in managing interactions and challenges the quality and rigor that is possible in delivering the course. This paper presents a redesign option to manage the increasing enrollments in an online graduate level …
