Strength In Numbers? Creating A Peacebuilding Network In Rwanda, Dan Shamblin
Strength In Numbers? Creating A Peacebuilding Network In Rwanda, Dan Shamblin
Capstone Collection
In the 18 years since the genocide, Rwanda has transitioned into a prosperous and peaceful country. However, the need for peacebuilding actors is not removed. Currently, programs in peace, unity and reconciliation work independent from each other. The result is many programs are duplicated; some areas of the country have many programs while other areas are basically neglected. It would be beneficial if peacebuilding efforts were able to come together in a more collaborative fashion. One way in which this can happen is through a network. In this study, 17 organizations and 4 focus group interviews were conducted to assess …

When he came up with the idea of selling toilets in Cambodia, where more than 60 per cent of the population does not have access to basic sanitation, National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre chief executive Laurence Lien was laughed at. His detractors told him: "Nobody is going to purchase toilets from you because this is a community that is dependent on (financial) aid. "But tens of thousands of the toilets were sold within the first few months. Speaking at the Africa Singapore Business Forum, Connex, held at Singapore Management University in August 2012, Lien credits the success of the …

Capacity Planning For Elderly Care In Ireland Using Simulation Modeling, Mohamed Ragab, Waleed Abo Hamad, Amr Arisha
Conference papers
Global population aging is creating an immense pressure on healthcare facilities making them unable to cope with the growing demand for elderly healthcare services. Current demand-supply gaps result in prolonged waiting times for patients and substantial cost burdens for healthcare systems due to delayed discharges. This paper describes a project aimed at presenting modeling and simulation to address elderly care pathways within the Irish healthcare sector. The management of frail patients admitted to acute hospitals and the introduction of the new intermediate care beds are alternative interventions that healthcare executives are interested in simulating to examine their impact on the …

Robins Case Network
Walt Disney is a completely integrated media powerhouse. Films provide material for theme parks and resorts, consumer products, and even a cruise ship. Network and cable broadcasting is also a part of the integrated Disney package. None of Disney’s competitors are as successfully integrated. Still, in spite of a long record of success, Disney is facing more competition on many fronts and, like other media and entertainment companies, must continue to adapt to a changing technological and social environment.

Robins Case Network
Groupon’s CEO Andrew Mason made a terrible mistake when he refused to accept Google’s $6 billion dollar offer to acquire his company. About a year after its IPO in 2011, Groupon’s market capitalization was only $2.5 billion, and its main product was coming to be thought of as junk e-mail. The company has pursued growth through expanding into new services and products, with the goal of becoming an e-commerce platform that “locks in” the business of local merchants.

Do Filtering, Dialogue And Networking Improve Learning In Equivocal And Information Rich Contexts? - A Study Of Sense-Making In Policy Making Contexts, Adrian Wolfberg
Student Scholarship
We examine learning outcomes in intelligence analysts--the likelihood to shift intelligence analyst's mental models--within policy-making dyads of analysts and decision-makers operating in complex, high-stake contexts. We ask to what extent do properties of information present in the environment--information overload and equivocality--and two behavioral dispositions present in the dyad--one possessed by the decision maker (feedback) and another by the analyst (perspective taking)--influence analyst's learning outcomes. In particular, we focus on the combined impact of three analyst's behavioral responses--filtering, dialogue and networking--to either mitigate the negative effects of overload and equivocality, and/or improve the potential positive effects of feedback and perspective taking. …

Patent Trolls: Legit Enforcers Or Harrassers?, Deli Yang
School of Business Faculty Research
Since the turn of the century, 'patent trolls' have emerged as one of the most topical debates among patent holders. However, nearly ten years later, stakeholders are still unable to reach consensus as to the 'right' or 'wrong' of 'trolls'. Against this backdrop, our debates open with the landmark case of Blackberry between RIM and NTP to provide thoughts as to whether NTP is considered a troll. Then there is a focus on some conceptual issues surrounding 'patent trolls', and its origin citing relevant mini-cases. This column also lays out the fierce arguments for or against patent trolling among scholars …

Lean Six Sigma (LSS) gives a company a competitive advantage over its competitors. On average, LSS cuts down on unwanted waste and cost by 25% ("What Is Lean Six Sigma?").

It also fosters a continuous improvement culture within companies’ operations and administrative offices. LSS is a proven methodology used to reduce all types of waste in businesses. Although lean six sigma started in the manufacturing industry, it has been adapted for use across all industries, public and private ("Six …

The Development And Utilization Of Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting, Kristen Granzow
Honors Program Theses
How do auditors evaluate sustainability data? As noted, assurance requires comparing data to a set of agreed-upon standards. Auditors provide reasonable assurance for financial information because they can evaluate a company's information based on its adherence to GAAP. Although reporting and auditing standards have not been agreed upon and set for CSR information, auditors are still providing assurance. They use standards developed by nongovernmental organizations discussed below and can determine the amount of assurance provided, either reasonable or limited. Two additional questions arise from this situation: what standards are commonly used to evaluate CSR reports and does a company's industry …
