WHYPARTIESFORM 45 equilibrium the ordinary circumstance, there would be no incentive to form a party based on the social choice problem. But even when an equilibrium exists, the political party need not make its members worse off than without the parry; they can always choose to take no "partisan" actions. With PIEs generally considered impossible, there is a strong incentive for parties to form, precisely because of the likeli- 1altves hood of disequilibrium. Riker's dismal conclusion turns out to provide a strong case for the formation of political parties. The new institutionalism (e.g., Shepsle 1979) emerged in response to the ordinary absence of (pure) voting equilibria. Two points discussed below and in later chapters are also relevant here.

Why: We will be evaluating both academic and personal perspectives of leadership. Doing this assignment helps you to analyze leadership practices by researching a personal perspective of a leader you believe was/is extraordinary and showing how the readings inform your leadership development and professional experience. o How: Complete or review the readings, videos, and instructor lectures for weeks through the week the assignment is due. Select an extraordinary leader that you would like to learn more about, someone whom you may know and gain access. Consider individuals who in some ways have made positive contributions to society, including both men and women. The leader you select may be from any walk of life (business, the arts, humanities, politics, etc.) Ask for an opportunity to conduct a phone, email or in-person interview. Consider selecting a person at your work, a professor or Northeastern community member, anyone who has a compelling story to tell about leadership. Create a preliminary list of open-ended questions to ask the person that you are profiling. Conduct the interview with the person you select. Prepare an analysis of this leader that includes the following information and connects to our readings and class learning: o Key Events: A short summary of the key events in this leaderâ s life that may have had an impact on his/her approach to leadership. Note: This is an analysis â not a biography. o Leadership Approach: Analyze your leader integrating the readings and key learning from class. Areas that your analysis should include but be limited to: o How does this leader exemplify effective leadership? Provide specific evidence for your claims. o How does this leader demonstrate certain specific leadership practices or perspectives we covered in our text and readings and discussion? o How did this leader sustain commitment and build trusting partnerships? o What were mistakes or missteps that were valuable lessons about leadership for this person? o Principles and Values: What espoused principles and values guide their approach as a leader? How are these principles or values apparent to those s/he leads? How were those values formed? o Response to Challenges: Has the leader faced significant challenges that demanded leadership? How did they react to these challenges? What do those actions say (to the Learning Team) about their leadership ability? o Results: What significant results were they able to achieve? How did their approach to leadership contribute to their results? 26/02/20 1 Measuring Consumer Behaviour Part I Week 5 Required readings Extract from another textbook (available on FLO): “Conducting research in consumer behaviour”, i.

At its most basic, this statement is a company’s revenues, expenses, and the difference between the two. The difference is called net income. It is important to note that revenues and profits are not the same as cash. Revenues include amounts earned which may or may not have been collected from customers yet. There could be amounts that customers had paid at an earlier time but have just been earned. There could be estimates and assumptions included as well. Expenses are not necessarily amounts that have been paid. They include expenses that have been incurred but may be paid later. There may also be amounts that were paid in an earlier time-period but are now being recognized due to the matching of revenues and expenses. Estimates and assumptions are also present in expenses. Net income is sometimes called the bottom line. It is revenues minus expenses. If expenses are more than revenues, it is called net loss. There may be important subtotals presented in the income statement such as gross profit. This subtotal is sometimes called the line. Gross profit is net sales minus cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold are costs or expenses directly related to sales such as direct labor, direct materials and overhead. Each statement will have a heading. It includes the company name, statement name and the time-period covered. An income statement covers a span of time. It is usually a company’s fiscal year but can be for shorter periods such as a month or quarter (three months).

Why the Rich are Getting Richer and the Poor, Poorer The thesis of the Paper The report " Why the Rich are Getting Rich and the Poor, Poorer opens the eyes of the audience by making them understand the unemployment that people are suffering from is because of lack of technology and education. The paper aims to make the reader understand why the rich continue to get richer and the poor poorer (Heyward 40). The author gives an introduction of three boats sailing within the economy of America. One of the boats carries the symbolist analysis; another one is the in-person servers, and the last one carries the routine producers. The author states that the Americans were once in the same boat when corporations could sell goods and services globally as this increased the purchasing power of the Americans (Berry, 13). In this part, the author introduces the reader on its main ideas of the essay and what will be covered in the essay. Supporting arguments Robert Reich supports his thesis by giving various explanations to help in the understanding of the reasons behind his arguments. First, the author talks about increasing rates of the sinking of the boats that belong to the routine producers from the time the Americans began to construct companies in the developing countries. When this happens, the employees are hired from these countries and are given the exact payments that the Americans could have earned. Meaning, the minority who depend on these industries for their survival continues to suffer and remain poor. However, the only people who benefit are the symbolic Analysts. The second argument is that the in-person server’s and the routine producers have lost their jobs because they have been replaced with modern technology. According to Reich, as much as the in-person servers suffer, they are protected from the direct impacts of global competition as compared to the routine producers who are directly affected by the issue (Heyward 16). The author states that only the symbolic analysts have their jobs in the rise as their services are demanded across the globe because they have problem-solving skills. The report also brings a clear understanding of the reason why the poor are getting poorer especially be talking about the companies replacing human efforts with the robots which are believed to be more efficient. Another argument is that the author explains that the in-person servants become even more miserable when the routine producers lose their jobs and begin board ships carrying the In-Person servants. According to the author, these people are exposed to more risks of unemployment and are threatened by the increased number of high school graduates, the high rates of immigration and the labour saving machinery (Berry, 5). He believes that the world has only created more opportunities for the symbolic analysts and they end up getting more money from selling their knowledge to those who want to make a fortune.

Why We Should Design Policy to Care for Vulnerable Populations Previous Next For the discussion, we will be reviewing the “For Your Consideration” box on page 122 of the Shi text. Shi states that we should care about vulnerable populations because of the following items: Vulnerable populations have greater health needs. The prevalence of vulnerability is influenced [by] and therefore should be remedied by social forces. Vulnerability is fundamentally linked with national resources. Vulnerability and equity cannot coexist. After reviewing this and the required background reading (and doing any additional research) discuss your thoughts on these items. As Shi asks, “Are these points valid?” (p. 122) How does this affect health administrators? Be sure to cite reliable sources in support of your answer. .

Why is skilled communication among health professionals so difficult to achieve? How will you overcome the use of ineffective communication? TERRY L. HAPNEY TERRY L. HAPNEY Public Relations and the School Superintendent Marshall University From the SelectedWorks of Terry L. Hapney Jr., Ph.D. Summer June, 2018 Public Relations and the School Superintendent: From Theory to Practice Terry L. Hapney, Jr. Available at: https://works.bepress.com/terryhapney/10 / Public Relations and the School Superintendent From Theory to Practice TERRY L. HAPNEY, JR. ABSTRACT: This article examines public relations in the K–12 school system context. Specifically, the goal of this article is to examine the school superintendent as the chief public relations practitioner of the school system and how he/she would operate as such in the realms of seven public relations theories, as the superintendent works toward meeting the goals and objectives of his/her school district: strategic management function, communitas versus corporatas, persuasion, storytelling and branding, postmodernism, understanding, and sociology. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW S chools are organizations that are located in every community in the United States. Stakeholders in, and related to, schools include students, parents, teachers, administrators, school board members, legislators and other government officials, and alumni, among others. Research shows strong communication skills are a must for superintendents of school systems. Unfortunately, the assumption is anyone can be an effective communicator (Kowalski, 2005). Communication is at the heart of an effective public 306 Journal of School Public Relations Volume 37—Summer 2016 307 relations program in an organization (Kowalski, 2011). Many superintendents question the relevance of allocating funds and designating time to engage in public relations (2011). Studies have shown that superintendents have received poor performance evaluations and have even been dismissed due to “inconsistent and incompetent communication” (Kowalski, 2005, p. 112). Thus, the chief administrator in the school system has a big problem to overcome, and effective school public relations can help solve that problem. School public relations consists of applying public relations in organizations that deliver educational services. It is utilized in both private and public K–12 schools, as well as colleges and universities (Kowalski, 2011). This article examines public relations in the K–12 school system context. Specifically, the goal of this article is to examine the school superintendent as the chief public relations practitioner of the school system and how he/she would operate as such in the realms of seven public relations theories, as the superintendent works toward meeting the goals and objectives of his/her school district: strategic management function, communitas versus corporatas, persuasion, storytelling and branding, postmodernism, understanding, and soc.

Why Luck Matters More Than You Might Think When people see themselves as self-made, they tend to be less generous and public-spirited. · MAY 2016 ISSUEBottom of Form I’m a lucky man. Perhaps the most extreme example of my considerable good fortune occurred one chilly Ithaca morning in November 2007, while I was playing tennis with my longtime friend and collaborator, the Cornell psychologist Tom Gilovich. He later told me that early in the second set, I complained of feeling nauseated. The next thing he knew, I was lying motionless on the court. He yelled for someone to call 911, and then started pounding on my chest—something he’d seen many times in movies but had never been trained to do. He got a cough out of me, but seconds later I was again motionless with no pulse. Very shortly, an ambulance showed up. Ithaca’s ambulances are dispatched from the other side of town, more than five miles away. How did this one arrive so quickly? By happenstance, just before I collapsed, ambulances had been dispatched to two separate auto accidents close to the tennis center. Since one of them involved no serious injuries, an ambulance was able to peel off and travel just a few hundred yards to me. EMTs put electric paddles on my chest and rushed me to our local hospital. There, I was loaded onto a helicopter and flown to a larger hospital in Pennsylvania, where I was placed on ice overnight. Doctors later told me that I’d suffered an episode of sudden cardiac arrest. Almost 90 percent of people who experience such episodes don’t survive, and the few who do are typically left with significant impairments. And for three days after the event, my family tells me, I spoke gibberish. But on day four, I was discharged from the hospital with a clear head. Two weeks later, I was playing tennis with Tom again. If that ambulance hadn’t happened to have been nearby, I would be dead. Not all random events lead to favorable outcomes, of course. Mike Edwards is no longer alive because chance frowned on him. Edwards, formerly a cellist in the British pop band the Electric Light Orchestra, was driving on a rural road in England in 2010 when a 1,300-pound bale of hay rolled down a steep hillside and landed on his van, crushing him. By all accounts, he was a decent, peaceful man. That a bale of hay snuffed out his life was bad luck, pure and simple. Most people will concede that I’m fortunate to have survived and that Edwards was unfortunate to have perished. But in other arenas, randomness can play out in subtler ways, causing us to resist explanations that involve luck. In particular, many of us seem uncomfortable with the possibility that personal success might depend to any significant extent on chance. As E. B. White once wrote, “Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men.” Seeing ourselves as self-made leads us to be less generous and public-spirited. My having cheated death does not make me an authority on luck. But it has motivated me t.
