Chapter:
Chapter 1 - Defining Terrorism
Article Title:
“Terrorism”
Chapter 1 of the text goes into much detail about defining terrorism and the types of terrorism.
What exactly constitutes terrorism and why does it seem so complicated to define? This article
from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI, 2021) defines terrorism as a "contested term, with
no set definition for the concept or broad agreement among academic experts on its usage "
(para. 1). Is it really that difficult to define? It’s a word and as such it should just be in any old
dictionary or textbook glossary and boom there's the definition. Is it more complicated than that?
To answer my own question, yes, it is very complicated. But at least I’m not alone in the
complicatedness of defining terrorism as it seems like the FBI is having problems too. The article
notes that “the recent spate of extremist attacks in the United States and Europe have highlighted
the difficulty of defining what constitutes ‘terrorism’” (FBI, 2021, para. 2). Here, The FBI
focuses on recent examples extremism to attempt to answer the question, even giving the readers
an account of some of the recent terroristic attacks and how the relate to terrorism and
extremism. By the end of the article the question remains unclear and unanswered, making this
task of defining terrorism that much more confusing.
The pro of this article is that there were some real-world examples. These help show the
complicated nature of defining terrorism.
The article would have been more interesting if there were some frontline details, like the
definition from the FBI’s perspective, especially given it’s the leading legal enforcement
mechanism in the country.

David et al. (2019) research are essential to understand the
effectiveness of SWOT analysis as a tool for organizational
development. The authors used a mixed-method approach to
analyze the data from a case study of an organization in the
United States. This approach included a quantitative survey and
an in-depth interview with the organization’s director. Through
this approach, the authors sought to determine the factors
contributing to the success of the SWOT analysis. The authors
found that the most critical factor contributing to the success of
SWOT analysis was the inclusion of AQCD factors. AQCD
stands for “Analysis of Quality, Cost, and Delivery,” which
refers to assessing the quality of the organization’s products
and services, the cost of providing them, and their delivery. The
authors found that AQCD factors were essential for a successful
SWOT analysis as they provided an in-depth understanding of
the organization’s strengths and weaknesses. The article’s
findings are helpful for my research as it gives insight into how
6. a SWOT analysis can be used for organizational development.
The article’s discussion of the importance of AQCD factors for
a successful SWOT analysis provides an understanding of the
complexities of corporate growth. Additionally, the report
provides valuable insight into using a mixed-method approach
to evaluate the effectiveness of an organization’s SWOT
analysis.
The main limitations of this article are that the sample size was
small and the research was limited to one case study. Despite
the limitations, this article will be helpful in my research on
organizational development as it provides valuable insight into
using SWOT analysis and its potential for improving an
organization’s growth. The article’s discussion of the
importance of AQCD factors for a successful SWOT analysis
provides an understanding of the complexities of organizational
development. Additionally, the paper provides valuable insight
into using a mixed-method approach to evaluate the
effectiveness of an organization’s SWOT analysis. By
understanding the importance of AQCD factors and the
usefulness of a mixed-method approach, researchers can better
understand the complexities of organizational development.

The article by Haveman & Wetts (2019) provides an overview
of the development of organizational theory from its roots in
classical sociology to the 1970s. The authors use a variety of
historical and sociological sources to illustrate the effect of
organizational theory, including the works of early sociologists
such as Emile Durkheim and Max Weber. The article covers
various topics, including the emergence of bureaucracy,
leadership’s role, technology’s impact, and the relationship
between organizations and their environment. This article is
7. highly relevant to my research topic as it provides an overview
of the development of organizational theory over time. The
main limitation of the article is that it needs to provide a
detailed analysis of the various ideas instead of focusing on the
broader trends in the development of the field. The authors
conclude that organizational theory has become increasingly
complex and multifaceted and has been influenced by various
forces. This article will form the basis of my research as it
provides an overview of the development of organizational
theory and outlines the different approaches that have shaped
the field. Furthermore, it will provide context for my research
and be an invaluable source of information to help inform my
analysis.

Organizational culture is an essential factor in determining
organizational performance. In their article, Lubis and Hanum
(2020) explore the effects of corporate culture on organizational
performance in the Indonesian context. The authors use a
combination of theoretical and empirical research to examine
how organizational culture impacts organizational performance.
They note that corporate culture can have both positive and
negative effects. For example, in the Indonesian context, a solid
hierarchical organizational culture can lead to high levels of
employee satisfaction, motivation and commitment, increasing
organizational performance. On the other hand, a culture of
mistrust or hostility among employees can lead to decreased
motivation and performance levels. The authors conclude that
organizational culture significantly affects performance and
should be considered when developing corporate growth and
strategies. They suggest that organizational leaders should
8. create a culture of respect and trust, allowing employees to feel
valued and empowered and leading to higher motivation and
performance levels. The authors recommend that organizational
leaders strive for a culture of openness, enabling employees to
share ideas and take the initiative. Such an environment will
foster innovation, creativity, and collaboration, which have all
been shown to lead to higher performance levels.

Neebe’s (2020) article on the sustainability of Walmart is a
comprehensive and highly relevant piece of research for my
research topic. The article examines all aspects of Walmart’s
sustainability, from its corporate responsibility to its human
resources and environmental policies. Neebe employs various
research methods, including interviews, surveys and
observation, to gain insight into Walmart’s strategies, business
practices and the decisions that have contributed to its success.
The article is highly relevant to my research topic, as it
provides an in-depth overview of Walmart’s sustainability
practices, which can be used to identify key strategies that
could be applied to other organizations. The main limitation of
this article is that it primarily focuses on Walmart, so it may not
apply to other organizations. Nevertheless, the article provides
valuable insight into Walmart’s sustainability practices, which
can be used to identify strategies for other organizations. For
example, Neebe’s research reveals that Walmart’s commitment
to sustainability has been critical to its success and that other
organizations should consider following its example. This could
be through investing in renewable energy, minimizing waste and
developing more sustainable supply chains. Walmart’s human
resource practices, such as providing benefits and investing in
training, could be used as a model for other organizations.

archiv/bitstream/11159/2510/1/1037068858.pdf
Najeemdeen’s (2018) research is highly relevant to my research
on organizational development, as it comprehensively examines
the effect of perceived organizational culture and perceived
administrative support on work engagement. This research
found that perceived organizational culture and perceived
organizational support were significantly associated with work
engagement, indicating that both factors are important for
increasing employee satisfaction and productivity. The study
was conducted on a sample of 304 employees in Nigeria, using
an online survey to measure the participants’ responses to the
questions posed. The study found that perceived organizational
culture had a direct and significant effect on work engagement,
while perceived administrative support indirectly affected work
engagement via its impact on perceived corporate culture. This
finding suggests that organizations should strive to create an
environment of support and recognition for their employees, as
this will lead to increased work engagement. The study was also
limited by its sample size, as the results may not accurately
represent the general population. Despite this limitation, the
study provides valuable insight into the importance of perceived
organizational culture and perceived organizational support in
increasing work engagement. The study is helpful for my
research on organizational development, as it provides insight
into the effect of perceived organizational culture and perceived
organizational support on work engagement. Najeemdeen’s
conclusion is that perceived organizational culture and
perceived organizational support are important factors
influencing work engagement in organizations. Therefore,
organizations should strive to create an environment of support
10. and recognition for their employees, leading to increased work
engagement and, consequently, greater productivity and
satisfaction.

Introduction
A.
Definition of organizational culture
Lubis and Hanum (2020) state that a company's culture consists
of its employees' commonly held assumptions about how things
should be done in the workplace.
B.
11. Overview of the importance of organizational culture
Organizational culture is a potent force that may have a
significant influence on employee involvement, efficiency, and
morale. It is essential for organizations to understand and
appreciate the importance of developing a strong and positive
culture, in order to create a productive and successful work
environment.
C.
Statement of the problem/Thesis
This paper will examine the influence of Walmart Inc.'s
corporate culture on its productivity and examine ways in which
the company can improve its organizational culture in order to
improve performance and productivity.
II. The Organization
A.
Overview of the organization
The organization selected for this research project is Walmart
Inc. Among the most successful firms in the US, Walmart
is also the world's most popular retailer (Neebe, 2020).
Worldwide, Walmart runs its trademark low-priced department
and warehouse shops. To help people live comfortably on less
money is Walmart's core purpose.
III. Literature Review
A.
Theoretical foundations of organizational culture
i.
History
Weber argued that organizations were made up of distinct
cultures, and that the structure and experiences of the
organization were based on the beliefs and values of its
members (Haveman & Wetts, 2019). It is the invisible force that
guides the behavior and actions of the corporation’s personnel,
and is shaped by the corporation’s values, goals, and
experiences.
ii.
Components
12. Organizational culture is composed of several components,
including values, beliefs, norms, symbols, and artifacts. Values
are the beliefs and ideas that guide the behavior of the
organization's members, while beliefs are the accepted truths or
assumptions of the organization (Haveman & Wetts, 2019).
B.
Organizational culture in large businesses
i.
Types of cultures
Organizations can have either a strong or a weak culture. A
strong culture is one in which the organization's values, beliefs,
and norms are deeply embedded in the organization's culture
and are widely shared by its members.
ii.
Impact on organizational success
Organizational culture has a significant impact on a firm's
capability to realize its goals. Najeemdeen (2018) illustrates
that a strong organizational culture can lead to increased
employee engagement, improved performance, and higher
morale.
C.
Tools for assessing and developing organizational
culture
i.
Surveys
Surveys are a useful tool for assessing an organization's culture.
Surveys can be used to measure the levels of employee
engagement, performance, and morale, as well as the
organization's values, beliefs, and norms.
ii.
Interviews
Interviews are another useful tool for assessing an
organization's culture. Interviews can be used to gain a deeper
understanding of an organization's values, beliefs, and norms,
as well as the experiences of its members.
IV. Program Development
13. A.
Establishing objectives
The objective of this program is to design, develop, implement,
and maintain a program that will improve the organizational
culture of Walmart Inc. in order to improve performance and
productivity.
B.
Program design
The program will focus on training and development,
communication, and performance management. The program
will include several components, including training and
development, communication, and performance management.
The activities of the program will include surveys, interviews,
and other activities that will help to assess and improve the
organization's culture.
C. Findings
· The program aims to improve the organizational culture of
Walmart Inc. by addressing the organization's values, beliefs,
and norms, as well as the experiences of its members.
· The program will include training and development,
communication, and performance management activities in
order to assess and improve the organization's culture.
· Theories of organizational development will be used to help
guide the program design and implementation. Analyzing
organizational culture will allow for better decision making and
improved performance.
· Surveys, interviews, and focus groups will be used to assess
and evaluate the effectiveness of the program.
V. Conclusion
A.
Summary of key points
This research paper has explored the bearing of organizational
culture on Walmart’s performance, and examined ways in which
the company can improve its organizational culture in order to
improve performance and productivity. The paper has discussed
the theoretical foundations of organizational culture, the types
14. of cultures that exist in large businesses, and the tools that can
be used to assess and develop organizational culture. The paper
has also discussed the program design, implementation, and
evaluation that will be used to improve the organizational
culture of Walmart Inc.
B.
Recommendations
i. It is recommended that Walmart Inc. develop, implement, and
maintain a program that will assess and improve the
organization's culture in order to improve performance and
productivity.
ii. The program should include training and development,
communication, and performance management activities, and
should be evaluated on an ongoing basis in order to ensure that
it is achieving its desired outcomes.
iii. Through a PESTEL and a SWOT analysis, Walmart Inc. can
gain a better understanding of the external and internal factors
that are influencing its organizational culture, and use this
information to inform their program design and implementation.
Political factors such as changes in government regulations and
economic factors such as changes in the market can have a
significant impact on the organization's culture (David et al.,
2019).

Chapter 12: Structure for Managing Emergency Response
Article Name:
“Florida officials seek tourism boost after Alberto blows
through”
Article Review:
The Emergency Operations Center should be the most important
building of any community.
This is where all the knowledge and nuts and bolts to keep the
safety, economy, and welfare of
all the citizens and dynamics of a city or county, flowing. Every
part of our country has its own
17. hazards, from California and earthquakes, wildfires and tsunami
threats, to hurricanes, tornadoes,
and floods in the South and Midwest. Every EOC has its own
set of emergency plans based on
the threat assessment.
I bring up economy because you see it every storm season,
disasters blow in and everyone flees,
including the tourists which would have spurred the economy
but now are gone, and so is the
economy. Disasters not only pull down the economy, and the
lack of needed tourism, but then is
the increased cost of preparing, mitigating, and recovery of
disasters and emergencies. Hurricane
season started in the south, and now Florida is trying to pull
back in tourists in between storms. I
understand that, but I also see a risk involved. According to one
source, “As winds and rains let
up from Subtropical Storm Alberto, Florida officials Tuesday
were quickly spinning ways to
draw tourists to areas that may have missed out on Memorial
Day crowds” (Turner, 2018, para.
1). The Governor of Florida visited an EOC to thank them for a
job well done for this first storm
as he was questioned about tourism efforts. He said, “The
18. Legislature gave us $76 million again
this year (for visit Florida), and part of that money is to work
on when we have something like
this, to let people know we’re back open for business” (Turner,
2018, para. 5). The EOC is the
hub and is excellent at tracking emergency and disaster
situations before they happen, when
possible, and that success is shown by minimal loss of life and
property.
When greed steps in, that is when you see tourism take a back
seat, but most who have been
through the big storms know those risks, and you see a good
attitude with the Governor of
Florida in this article who knows what his State is facing. It
shows a good leader also who shows
appreciation to those he knows keeps the public safe.
