Enterprise Architectures play an important role supporting business transformation initiatives. Enterprise Architecture Governance (EAG) provides a structure for defining relevant strategies and compliance processes. This Level 3 Communications case study presents a detailed framework composed of three essential components of EAG: 1) Organizational Accountability must be clearly defi ned for all EAG aspects, and executive sponsorship is essential. Level 3 formed an executive steering committee with broad representation, preventing EAG from becoming an IT-only initiative. 2) Strategy Defi nition provides the roadmap for business transformation initiatives. Architectural guiding principles defi ne values and offer input into strategies, end states define where the company is going, and roadmaps document how to get there from. 3) Compliance Processes ensure that development initiatives are in alignment with the strategic direction. Level 3 has created a framework that gives each development initiative an architecture rating that indicates its compliance level.

Tackling a Crisis Head-on This week, we will be starting our work on Assignment 2. Go to The Wall Street Journal menu item and find an article about a crisis that occurred at a specific organization in the last year. Considering the course materials for this week, answer the following: Describe the crisis faced by the organization. What communication tactics did the organization use to address its crisis? Refer to Jack and Warren's guidance for dealing with crises. To what extent, if any, was the organization's crisis communication plan effective? If you were a senior leader in the organization, would you have responded differently? Why or why not? This week and next, continue to research this specific crisis so that you can better prepare for Assignment 2. Post your initial response by Wednesday, midnight of your time zone, and reply to at least 2 of your classmates' initial posts by Sunday, midnight of your time zone. 1st response The Bank of America Earnings Crisis In 2020, many businesses experienced notable challenges due to the outbreak of the coronavirus. The Bank of America was no exception based on its reports of firm earnings in 2020. According to Eisen (2021), many large financial organizations in the United States withstood the recession due to COVID-19. However, the author explains that the banks have not been fully protected against the minimal rates brought about by the pandemic. For Bank of America, the outcomes of the COVID-19 outbreak have been felt in many ways, particularly the reduction of earnings by 22%. Additionally, lenders have also experienced significant challenges based on low-interest rates, and Bank of America is among them. Since the financial institution gains earnings on the difference between their lending payments and what they pay to depositors, the bank's interest rates downfall. The earnings crisis also affected the firm's operations in the last quarter of 2020 even though it made considerable profits. Communication Tactics and Addressing the Crisis Handling a crisis in organizations presents notable problems for managers and leaders that do not understand the proper ways of solving a crisis. Warren Buffet explains that there are four significant steps a leader can take to address a crisis. First, getting the crisis right and understanding why it happens and what can stop it will help address the crisis. The Bank of America leaders understood that the company needs to introduce measures that will increase the earnings. Secondly, according to Buffet, responding to the crisis fast is also a core step in managing a crisis. The Bank of America did not wait until the last quarter of 2020 to react to the earnings crisis. Rather, they resorted to ensuring the loan demands are stabilized by business consumers and focused more on investment activities (Eisen, 2021). The third and fourth steps based on Warren's advice involve getting the crisis out by dealing with it and getting over with. Th.

In the scenario, the United States will be hit by a large-scale, coordinated cyber attack organized by China. These attacks debilitate the functioning of government agencies, parts of the critical infrastructure, and commercial ventures. The IT infrastructure of several agencies are paralyzed, the electric grid in most of the country is shut down, telephone traffic is seriously limited and satellite communications are down (limiting the Department of Defense’s [DOD’s] ability to communicate with commands overseas). International commerce and financial institutions are also severely hit.

Sustainable tourism is a form of development, which is Social development, Economic development and Nature protection. According to the World Tourism Organization, Sustainable tourism is “Tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment, and host communities” UNWTO (2013). Denmark is more concerned about sustainable environment, for instance the Government is aiming at Copenhagen becoming the world’s first carbon-neutral capital by 2025. Government have put high taxation on vehicles, cars so Danes have to think twice before buying or using them. This could be the strategy of the nation. As they are on the way to gain something remarkable, they also have some challenges. The tourism industry has a million of turnover in Danish economy and Danish government puts a high effort in order to make it more sustainable. The big topic could be how the tourist react on it? All the government efforts could be result less if the customer and the business does not act smart. To the Danes, sustainability is a holistic approach that includes renewable energy, water management, waste recycling and green transportation including bicycle culture. Most of the local restaurants use re-usable things during their service also, practices waste deposable for take away. Tourism is the best way to experience the culture however, damage and waste can occur due to inappropriate behavior of tourists. According to the Denmark statics (2019), every year tourist spends around 128 billion DKK in Denmark. Denmark is very responsible towards environment and most of the hotels are practicing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). For example, Scandic Kødbyen is one of the hotels practicing sustainability, first to implement CSR. It plays a significant support in sustainable tourism business, which includes hotel, restaurant and the service provided sectors. Visit Copenhagen states that 70% of hotels hold an official eco-certification and also known as the hap.

It’s the basic sutra for the practice of meditation. Late at night, it’s a pleasure to recite the Diamond Sutra alone, in complete silence. The sutra is so deep and wonderful. It has its own language. The first Western scholars who obtained the text thought it was talking nonsense. Its language seems mysterious, but when you look deeply, you can understand. Don’t rush into the commentaries or you may be unduly influenced by them. Please read the sutra first. You may see things that no commentator has seen. You can read as if you were chanting, using your clear body and mind to be in touch with the words. Try to understand the sutra from your own experiences and your own suffering. It is helpful to ask, “Do these teachings of the Buddha have anything to do with my daily life?” Abstract ideas can be beautiful, but if they have nothing to do with our life, of what use are they? So please ask, “Do the words have anything to do with eating a meal, drinking tea, cutting wood, or carrying water?” The sutra’s full name is The Diamond That Cuts through Illusion, Vajracchedika Prajñaparamita in Sanskrit. Vajracchedika means “the diamond that cuts through afflictions, ignorance, delusion, or illusion.” In China and Vietnam, people generally call it the Diamond Sutra, emphasizing the word “diamond,” but, in fact, the phrase “cutting through” is the most important.

China’s increasing military power, however, may suggest a Chinese intention to change the status quo. • Shared democratic values and the fact that the “democracy issue” has greatly prolonged the timetable for reunification give Taipei political influence in both Washington and Tokyo. • China’s constant threats of force actually empower Taipei in its relationship with Washington, and cause the United States to plan for the worst. • Taiwan is a litmus test of U.S. credibility as an ally, a condition that in turn creates a perception on the island that U.S. military backing is uncondi- tional. policy implications • Taipei’s high-risk diplomatic approach carries with it the very real possibil- ity of miscalculation, which could easily lead to great power conflict. • The United States would benefit from exploring with Beijing ways in which to demilitarize the issue of Taiwan independence so that the threat of great power conflict over Taiwan is greatly moderated. • Tensions may eventually lessen substantially if Beijing can be encouraged to substitute political deterrence for military deterrence. • In order to ensure that the U.S. position in the region would survive a Taipei-provoked conflict should the United States choose not to become directly involved, Washington can undertake extensive talks with Japan de- signed to ensure that Japan does not lose confidence in Washington. organization of the essay The first four sections of the essay respectively explore the four factors of the complex U.S.-Taiwan-Japan-China relationship outlined above: Geostrategic Issues and Considerations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..

TABLE 1-1 Milestones of Medicine and Medical Education 1700–2015 ■ 1700s: Training and apprenticeship under one physician was common until hospitals were founded in the mid-1700s. In 1765, the first medical school was established at the University of Pennsylvania. ■ 1800s: Medical training was provided through internships with existing physicians who often were poorly trained themselves. In the United States, there were only four medical schools, which graduated only a handful of students. There was no formal tuition with no mandatory testing. ■ 1847: The AMA was established as a membership organization for physicians to protect the interests of its members. It did not become powerful until the 1900s when it organized its physician members by county and state medical societies. The AMA wanted to ensure these local societies were protecting physicians’ financial well-being. It also began to focus on standardizing medical education. ■ 1900s–1930s: The medical profession was represented by general or family practitioners who operated in solo practices. A small percentage of physicians were women. Total expenditures for medical care were less than 4% of the gross domestic product. ■ 1904: The AMA created the Council on Medical Education to establish standards for medical education. ■ 1910: Formal medical education was attributed to Abraham Flexner, who wrote an evaluation of medical schools in the United States and Canada indicating many schools were substandard. The Flexner Report led to standardized admissions testing for students called the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), which is still used as part of the admissions process today. ■ 1930s: The healthcare industry was dominated by male physicians and hospitals. Relationships between patients and physicians were sacred. Payments for physician care were personal. ■ 1940s–1960s: When group health insurance was offered, the relationship between patient and physician changed because of third-party payers (insurance). In the 1950s, federal grants supported medical school operations and teaching hospitals. In the 1960s, the Regional Medical Programs provided research grants and emphasized service innovation and provider networking. As a result of the Medicare and Medicaid enactment in 1965, the responsibilities of teaching faculty also included clinical responsibilities. ■ 1970s–1990s: Patient care dollars surpassed research dollars as the largest source of medical school funding. During the 1980s, third-party payers reimbursed academic medical centers with no restrictions. In the 1990s with the advent of managed care, reimbursement was restricted. ■ 2014: According to the 2014 Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMAC) annual survey, over 70% of medical schools have or will be implementing policies and programs to encourage primary care specialties for medical school students.

Tackling wicked problems : A public policy perspective Please note - this is an archived publication. Commissioner’s foreword The Australian Public Service (APS) is increasingly being tasked with solving very complex policy problems. Some of these policy issues are so complex they have been called ‘wicked’ problems. The term ‘wicked’ in this context is used, not in the sense of evil, but rather as an issue highly resistant to resolution. Successfully solving or at least managing these wicked policy problems requires a reassessment of some of the traditional ways of working and solving problems in the APS. They challenge our governance structures, our skills base and our organisational capacity. It is important, as a first step, that wicked problems be recognised as such. Successfully tackling wicked problems requires a broad recognition and understanding, including from governments and Ministers, that there are no quick fixes and simple solutions. Tackling wicked problems is an evolving art. They require thinking that is capable of grasping the big picture, including the interrelationships among the full range of causal factors underlying them. They often require broader, more collaborative and innovative approaches. This may result in the occasional failure or need for policy change or adjustment. Wicked problems highlight the fundamental importance of the APS building on the progress that has been made with working across organisational boundaries both within and outside the APS. The APS needs to continue to focus on effectively engaging stakeholders and citizens in understanding the relevant issues and in involving them in identifying possible solutions. The purpose of this publication is more to stimulate debate around what is needed for the successful tackling of wicked problems than to provide all the answers. Such a debate is a necessary precursor to reassessing our current systems, frameworks and ways of working to ensure they are capable of responding to the complex issues facing the APS. I hope that this publication will encourage public service managers to reflect on these issues, and to look for ways to improve the capacity of the APS to deal effectively with the complex policy problems confronting us. Lynelle Briggs Australian Public Service Commissioner 1. Introduction Many of the most pressing policy challenges for the APS involve dealing with very complex problems. These problems share a range of characteristics—they go beyond the capacity of any one organisation to understand and respond to, and there is often disagreement about the causes of the problems and the best way to tackle them. These complex policy problems are sometimes called ‘wicked’ problems. Usually, part of the solution to wicked problems involves changing the behaviour of groups of citizens or all citizens. Other key ingredients in solving or at least managing complex policy problems include successfu.

Tajfel and Turner (in chapter two of our reader) give us the following definition of Social Identity Theory: "SIT proposes that individuals make sense of their social environment by categorizing themselves and others into groups that can be contrasted with others" (Oksanen et al., 2014). SIT brings order to chaos, you might say, in that individuals define themselves as being different from everyone else. Considering what we have read about the perpetrators of group violence, how do you suppose that it is that people make the leap from their own social identity to group violence? What social and psychological mechanisms are at work that would go from simple categorization to overt violence? .
