Leadership Communication Skills: Role In The Institutionalization Of Organizational Vision, Strategy And Culture, Pamela A. Peter Jan 2009

Leadership Communication Skills: Role In The Institutionalization Of Organizational Vision, Strategy And Culture, Pamela A. Peter

Theses and Graduate Projects

There is a generally accepted expectation that leaders should play a significant role in integrating an organization's vision statement and strategic direction with its culture. Depending upon the organization the author of the vision statement could be the owner, the board of directors or CEO, or other senior leaders or consultants. In any case, because the vision statement is typically disseminated top down, the distance from the statement's author to those who actually do the work is great. This can be especially true in large organizations with hierarchical structures. To bridge that gap, senior leaders depend upon leaders at the …

Limits And Challenges Of E-Mail Use In The Business World, Joanne L. Johnson Jan 2009

Limits And Challenges Of E-Mail Use In The Business World, Joanne L. Johnson

Theses and Graduate Projects

Miscommunication can cost time, money and even relationships. Facts surrounding e-mail's speed, convenience, and cost-effectiveness have been established; however, through my research and experience I have discovered there are limits to the effectiveness of e-mail. I will discuss the limitations of e-mail as a medium for effective business communication from the perspective of its effectiveness as a medium,, effects on productivity, and possible risks. E-mail poses limits and challenges as a communication medium in the business world versus basic face-to-face communication. The absence of non-verbal and verbal cues and the ability in standard e-mail for immediate feedback are weaknesses. As …

Creating A Safe Learning Space For The Discussion Of Multicultural Issues In The Classroom, Katherine M. Helm

Psychology Department Faculty Articles

This paper reviews best pedagogic practices for creating a safe environment in which to hold courses on race, racism, and multicultural issues. Inherent in these courses are student feelings of angst, vulnerability, guilt, trepidation, and sometimes anger and hostility. The sensitive educator must manage and acknowledge these feelings so that learning can occur without diminishing the power and impact issues of race have on our collective and individual psyches and experiences. Strategies for managing and incorporating students' strong emotions into the dialogue on multiculturalism will be reviewed.

More Than Money: Higher Education Decisions Of Low-Income And Minority Students, Tiffany Gurley-Alloway

Public Affairs Dissertations - Archive

A gap persists in K-12 academic achievement, high school persistence, college attendance, and educational attainment by income level and race/ethnicity. Issues of race and ethnicity in education are often intertwined with those of economic status because African Americans and Latinos are more likely to live in poverty and have lower median household incomes than are Whites in US. Much of the literature regarding the achievement gap focuses on barriers faced by low-income and minority students; two barriers in particular are low student motivation and inadequate academic preparation. In addition to these individual level barriers, schools as institutions perpetuate and reward …

Cartograms, Crime And Location Quotients, Martin A. Andresen, Kathryn Wuschke, J. Bryan Kinney, Patricia Brantingham, Paul J. Brantingham

Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications and Presentations

Visualizing spatial information has a long history in the field of cartography. Though there are generally accepted forms of spatial data visualization to represent different types of spatial data, the interpretation of the resulting maps tends to be subjective at best and incorrect, at worst. Cartograms are an increasingly popular form of spatial data visualization, recently applied in political and epidemiological analyses in an attempt to better represent the spatial data under analysis. We use the cartogram procedure to map crime rates and location quotients. Using this visualization approach, we are able to show the usefulness of cartograms to represent …
