JOB SATISFACTION IN PHILIPPINES

Institution
According to this article Philippines are less happy at work even though most of them look forward to career development. This unhappiness is attributed to lack of career development, lack of training opportunities and organizations’ management styles. Job dissatisfaction has continued to go down as it was 4.97 in 2016 while in 2017 it was 5.25.
In a survey that was conducted with the aim of knowing what would make people more satisfied with their jobs most people mentioned pay rise while others insisted that they would like to leave their jobs and get new ones. Good relationship with colleagues was the only reason why they were still in their jobs.
The extent to which workers were dissatisfied was different depending on workers age and professional stage. Those workers who were born before 1960 were found happier compared to those born after 1995. In terms of position those at the executive level were found to be more satisfied compared followed by new graduates.
For the baby boomers were happy about a job because of the schedule while the younger were interested in work location and work relationships. Older employees are dissatisfied due to lack of training, career development, and low wages. The managers need to communicate with employees on what factors would boost their job satisfaction.
Job satisfaction in Philippines is very different compared to US. In US 51% of all employees are satisfied while in Philippines job satisfaction is very low. Philippines can borrow much from what US has done to ensure that workers are satisfied with their jobs. The similarity in the two countries is that the rate of job satisfaction has been declining in the recent past. Philippines have much to learn from US than it is for US to learn from Philippines.
Philippines can make sure that its labor markets are tight to ensure low layoff rates. It can also improve working conditions and increase opportunities for its labor markets. As baby boomers continue to retire labor demand will go up and the rates of job satisfaction would go up.
Relationships are also important in ensuring job satisfaction. To ensure this there should be good relationships with coworkers, supervisors and their physical work environment. Job quality is also a mechanism of increasing job satisfaction. Employees should be given opportunities to develop their careers and be taken through trainings. They should also be given quality pay for their work and have good benefits e.g. health and retirement benefits.
For both countries, there must be communication with the employees to identify what things make them be dissatisfied with their jobs and something can be done to improve the situation. The labor market should be looked into if the situation has to improve.

Opening Case
Land of the Giant
This case profiles a visionary leader, Gwyn Morgan of EnCana Corp. in Calgary, know as the ‘philosopher-king’ of the oil patch. He exhibits charismatic qualities including a clear vision of a global energy giant headquartered in Canada, and strong communication skills to inspire others to work toward this vision. He appeals to ideological values through the ‘corporate constitution’, and provides intellectual stimulation for followers through the values such as ‘seize opportunities’, ‘teamwork and trust’, and ‘fear of the status quo’. He inspires followers to rise to new levels of performance by communicating his expectations for leadership ‘with character, competence, and humility’ to achieve ‘nothing less than the best effort’. His display of confidence in himself and in the employees of Alberta Energy Co. Ltd. and PanCanadian Energy Corp., led to the merger of these two companies to form EnCana Corp. – definitely performance beyond the call of duty.
Chapter Summary
Leadership
Leadership is defined as influencing employees to voluntarily pursue organizational goals. It is a social influence process in which the leader seeks the voluntary participation of subordinates in an effort to reach organizational goals.

TRAIT THEORIES Throughout history, strong leaders—Buddha, Napoléon.docxturveycharlyn
TRAIT THEORIES Throughout history, strong leaders—Buddha, Napoléon, Mao, Churchill, Roosevelt, Reagan—have been described in terms of their traits. Trait theories of leadership thus focus on personal qualities and characteristics. We recognize leaders like South Africa’s Nelson Mandela, Virgin Group CEO Richard Branson, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, and American Express Chairman Ken Chenault as charismatic, enthusiastic, and courageous. The search for personality, social, physical, or intellectual attributes that differentiate leaders from non-leaders goes back to the earliest stages of leadership research. Early research efforts to isolate leadership traits resulted in a number of dead ends. A review in the late 1960s of 20 different studies identified nearly 80 leadership traits, but only five were common to four or more of the investigations. By the 1990s, after numerous studies and analyses, about the best we could say was that most leaders “are not like other people,” but the particular traits that characterized them varied a great deal from review to review. It was a confusing state of affairs. A breakthrough, of sorts, came when researchers began organizing traits around the Big Five personality (ambition and energy are part of extraversion, for instance), giving strong support to traits as predictors of leadership. A comprehensive review of the leadership literature, when organized around the Big Five, has found extraversion to be the most important trait of effective leaders, but it is more strongly related to the way leaders emerge than to their effectiveness. Sociable and dominant people are more likely to assert themselves in group situations, but leaders need to make sure they’re not too assertive—one study found leaders who scored very high on assertiveness were less effective than those who scored moderately high. Unlike agreeableness and emotional stability, conscientiousness and openness to experience also showed strong relationships to leadership, though not quite as strong as extraversion. Overall, the trait approach does have something to offer. Leaders who like being around people and are able to assert themselves (extraverted), who are disciplined and able to keep commitments they make (conscientious), and who are creative and flexible (open) do have an apparent advantage when it comes to leadership, suggesting good leaders do have key traits in common. One reason is that conscientiousness and extraversion are positively related to leaders’ self-efficacy, which explained most of the variance in subordinates’ ratings of leader performance.5 People are more likely to follow someone who is confident she’s going in the right direction. Another trait that may indicate effective leadership is emotional intelligence (EI), discussed in Chapter 4. Advocates of EI argue that without it, a person can have outstanding training, a highly analytical mind, a compelling vision, and an endless supply of terrific ideas but still not make a ...

Unit Lesson
Welcome to Unit I! There are many types of leaders in the business world today; some are successful at
leading their team to accomplish organizational goals, while others are not. Leadership is a popular and
sought-after asset in business today. Therefore, it is important to understand what is required for one to
become a good leader and acknowledge the important aspects of leadership. Being that leadership is
complex and often misunderstood, those who are seeking to become effective leaders must possess a desire
to establish meaningful relationships with others while leading with a vision. Daft (2018) describes leadership
as the “ability to support and inspire the people who are needed to achieve organizational goals” (p. 5).
This course covers the history and psychology
of leadership studies, leadership vision,
culture, courage, morals, and values. Our
focus will be on leadership concepts and
theories and correlating that knowledge into
practical use. At the bottom of each study
guide, there will be activities that focus on self-
assessment, goal setting, and overcoming
barriers—all related to how you can apply what
you learn in the course to your everyday life.
The activities are not graded but will assist in
developing your own leadership skills.
Let’s get started, as your next step in becoming a leader awaits.
When we consider the psychology of leadership, the psychodynamic or systematic approach to studying
human behavior, there are a myriad of ways of looking at leadership. The underlining forces that affect
leaders’ ability to lead include their personalities, their feelings and emotions, and how they relate to others.

Leadership
1. Define leadership and explain its importance for organizations.
There is probably no topic more important to business success today than leadership. Leadership occurs between people, involves the use of influence, and is used to attain goals. Influence means that the relationship among people is not passive. A definition of leadership is the ability to influence people toward the attainment of goals. This definition captures the idea that leaders are involved with other people in the achievement of goals. Leadership is dynamic and involves the use of power. Power is the potential ability to influence the behavior of others. Power represents the resources with which a leader effects changes in employee behavior.
2. Describe how leadership is changing in today’s organizations, including Level 5 leadership, servant leadership, and authentic leadership.
The turbulence and uncertainty of the environment in which most organizations are operating has significantly influenced leadership styles in recent years. Ethical and economic difficulties, corporate governance concerns, globalization, changes in technology, new ways of working, shifting employee expectations, and significant social transitions have contributed to a shift in how we think about and practice leadership.
A key characteristic of Level 5 leaders is an almost complete lack of ego, coupled with a fierce resolve to do what is best for the organization. In contrast to the view of great leaders as larger-than-life personalities with strong egos and big ambitions, Level 5 leaders often seem shy and unpretentious. Although they accept full responsibility for mistakes, poor results, or failures, Level 5 leaders give credit for successes to other people.
The concept of servant leadership, first described by Robert Greenleaf, is leadership upside down, because leaders transcend self-interest to serve others and the organization. Servant leaders operate on two levels: for the fulfillment of their subordinates’ goals and needs and for the realization of the larger purpose or mission of their organization. Servant leaders give things away—power, ideas, information, recognition, credit for accomplishments, even money. Servant leaders truly value other people. They are trustworthy and they trust others. They encourage participation, share power, enhance others’ self-worth, and unleash people’s creativity, full commitment, and natural impulse to learn and contribute. Servant leaders can bring their followers’ higher motives to the work and connect their hearts to the organizational mission and goals.
· Authentic leadership refers to individuals who know and understand themselves, who espouse and act consistently with higher-order ethical values, and who empower and inspire others with their openness and authenticity.
· Authentic leaders pursue their purpose with passion. When leaders demonstrate a high level of passion and commitment to purpose, they inspire commitme ...

the key point
Not all managers are leaders and not all leaders are managers. In a managerial position, being a
leader requires understanding how to adapt one’s management style to the situation to generate
willing and effective followership. As shown in the Zappos example, the most successful leaders are
those who are able to generate strong cultures in which employees work together to get things done.

292 13 Leadership Essentials
Most people assume that anyone in management, particularly the CEO, is a leader.
Currently, however, controversy has arisen over this assumption. We can all think
of examples where managers do not perform much, if any, leadership, as well as
instances where leadership is performed by people who are not in management.
Researchers have even argued that failure to clearly recognize this difference is a
violation of “truth in advertising” because many studies labeled “leadership” may
actually be about “management.”1
Managers versus Leaders
A key way of differentiating between managers and leaders is to argue that the
role of management is to promote stability or to enable the organization to run
smoothly, whereas the role of leadership is to promote adaptive or useful
changes.2 Persons in managerial positions could be involved with both manage-
ment and leadership activities, or they could emphasize one activity at the
expense of the other. Both management and leadership are needed, however,
and if managers do not assume responsibility for both, then they should ensure
that someone else handles the neglected activity. The point is that when we dis-
cuss leadership, we do not assume it is identical to management.
For our purposes, we treat leadership as the process of infl uencing others
to understand and agree about what needs to be done and how to do it, and the
process of facilitating individual and collective efforts to accomplish shared objec-
tives.3 Leadership appears in two forms: (1) formal leadership, which is exerted
by persons appointed or elected to positions of formal authority in organizations,
and (2) informal leadership, which is exerted by persons who become infl uential
because they have special skills that meet the needs of others. Although both
types are important in organizations, this chapter will emphasize forma ...

Title
Unit Lesson
Welcome to Unit I! There are many types of leaders in the business world today; some are successful at
leading their team to accomplish organizational goals, while others are not. Leadership is a popular and
sought-after asset in business today. Therefore, it is important to understand what is required for one to
become a good leader and acknowledge the important aspects of leadership. Being that leadership is
complex and often misunderstood, those who are seeking to become effective leaders must possess a desire
to establish meaningful relationships with others while leading with a vision. Daft (2018) describes leadership
as the “ability to support and inspire the people who are needed to achieve organizational goals” (p. 5).
This course covers the history and psychology
of leadership studies, leadership vision,
culture, courage, morals, and values. Our
focus will be on leadership concepts and
theories and correlating that knowledge into
practical use. At the bottom of each study
guide, there will be activities that focus on self-
assessment, goal setting, and overcoming
barriers—all related to how you can apply what
you learn in the course to your everyday life.
The activities are not graded but will assist in
developing your own leadership skills.
Let’s get started, as your next step in becoming a leader awaits.
When we consider the psychology of leadership, the psychodynamic or systematic approach to studying
human behavior, there are a myriad of ways of looking at leadership. The underlining forces that affect
leaders’ ability to lead include their personalities, their feelings and emotions, and how they relate to others.
Leaders’ persona.

Leadership
1. Define leadership and explain its importance for organizations.
There is probably no topic more important to business success today than leadership. Leadership occurs between people, involves the use of influence, and is used to attain goals. Influence means that the relationship among people is not passive. A definition of leadership is the ability to influence people toward the attainment of goals. This definition captures the idea that leaders are involved with other people in the achievement of goals. Leadership is dynamic and involves the use of power. Power is the potential ability to influence the behavior of others. Power represents the resources with which a leader effects changes in employee behavior.
2. Describe how leadership is changing in today’s organizations, including Level 5 leadership, servant leadership, and authentic leadership.
The turbulence and uncertainty of the environment in which most organizations are operating has significantly influenced leadership styles in recent years. Ethical and economic difficulties, corporate governance concerns, globalization, changes in technology, new ways of working, shifting employee expectations, and significant social transitions have contributed to a shift in how we think about and practice leadership.
A key characteristic of Level 5 leaders is an almost complete lack of ego, coupled with a fierce resolve to do what is best for the organization. In contrast to the view of great leaders as larger-than-life personalities with strong egos and big ambitions, Level 5 leaders often seem shy and unpretentious. Although they accept full responsibility for mistakes, poor results, or failures, Level 5 leaders give credit for successes to other people.
The concept of servant leadership, first described by Robert Greenleaf, is leadership upside down, because leaders transcend self-interest to serve others and the organization. Servant leaders operate on two levels: for the fulfillment of their subordinates’ goals and needs and for the realization of the larger purpose or mission of their organization. Servant leaders give things away—power, ideas, information, recognition, credit for accomplishments, even money. Servant leaders truly value other people. They are trustworthy and they trust others. They encourage participation, share power, enhance others’ self-worth, and unleash people’s creativity, full commitment, and natural impulse to learn and contribute. Servant leaders can bring their followers’ higher motives to the work and connect their hearts to the organizational mission and goals.
· Authentic leadership refers to individuals who know and understand themselves, who espouse and act consistently with higher-order ethical values, and who empower and inspire others with their openness and authenticity.
· Authentic leaders pursue their purpose with passion. When leaders demonstrate a high level of passion and commitment to purpose, they inspire commitme ...

Not all managers are leaders and not all leaders are managers. In a managerial position, being a
leader requires understanding how to adapt one’s management style to the situation to generate

those who are able to generate strong cultures in which employees work together to get things done.

292 13 Leadership Essentials
Most people assume that anyone in management, particularly the CEO, is a leader.
Currently, however, controversy has arisen over this assumption. We can all think
of examples where managers do not perform much, if any, leadership, as well as
instances where leadership is performed by people who are not in management.
Researchers have even argued that failure to clearly recognize this difference is a
violation of “truth in advertising” because many studies labeled “leadership” may
actually be about “management.”1
Managers versus Leaders
A key way of differentiating between managers and leaders is to argue that the
role of management is to promote stability or to enable the organization to run
smoothly, whereas the role of leadership is to promote adaptive or useful
changes.2 Persons in managerial positions could be involved with both manage-
ment and leadership activities, or they could emphasize one activity at the
expense of the other. Both management and leadership are needed, however,
and if managers do not assume responsibility for both, then they should ensure
that someone else handles the neglected activity. The point is that when we dis-
cuss leadership, we do not assume it is identical to management.
For our purposes, we treat leadership as the process of infl uencing others
to understand and agree about what needs to be done and how to do it, and the
process of facilitating individual and collective efforts to accomplish shared objec-
tives.3 Leadership appears in two forms: (1) formal leadership, which is exerted
by persons appointed or elected to positions of formal authority in organizations,
and (2) informal leadership, which is exerted by persons who become infl uential
because they have special skills that meet the needs of others. Although both
types are important in organizations, this chapter will emphasize forma ...

A ) Society perspective
90 year old female, Mrs. Ruth, from home with her daughter, is admitted to hospital after sustaining a hip fracture. She has a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on home oxygen and moderate to severe aortic stenosis. (Obstruction of blood flow through part of the heart) She undergoes urgent hemiarthroplasty (hip surgery) with an uneventful operative course.
The patient and her family are of Jewish background. The patient’s daughter is her primary caregiver and has financial power-of-attorney, but it is not known whether she has formal power of attorney for personal care. Concerns have been raised to the ICU team about the possibility of elder abuse in the home by the patient’s daughter.
Unfortunately, on postoperative day 4, the patient develops delirium with respiratory failure secondary to hospital acquired pneumonia and pulmonary edema. (Fluid in the lungs) Her goals of care were not assessed pre-operatively. She is admitted to the ICU for non-invasive positive pressure ventilation for 48 hours, and then deteriorates and is intubated. After 48 hours of ventilation, it was determined that due to the severity of her underlying cardio-pulmonary status (COPD and aortic stenosis), ventilator weaning would be difficult and further ventilation would be futile.
The patient’s daughter is insistent on continuing all forms of life support, including mechanical ventilation and even extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (does the work of the lungs) if indicated. However, the Mrs Ruth’s delirium clears within the next 24 hours of intubation, and she is now competent, although still mechanically ventilated. She communicated to the ICU team that she preferred 1-way extubation (removal of the ventilator) and comfort care. This was communicated in writing to the ICU team, and was consistent over time with other care providers. The patient went as far to demand the extubation over the next hour, which was felt to be reasonable by the ICU team.
The patient’s daughter was informed of this decision, and stated that she could not come to the hospital for 2 hours, and in the meantime, that the patient must remain intubated.
At this point, the ICU team concurred with the patient’s wishes, and extubated her before her daughter was able to come to the hospital.
The daughter was angry at the team’s decision, and requested that the patient be re-intubated if she deteriorated. When the daughter arrived at the hospital, the patient and daughter were able to converse, and the patient then agreed to re-intubation if she deteriorated.

(2) What decision model(s) would be ideal for application in this case? State your justification.
(Lacey Powell
)
(3) Who should make decisions in this situation? Should the ICU team have extubated the patient?
State if additional information was necessary for you to arrive at a better decision(s) in your case.

Assignment: Typologies of Sexual Assaults
There are many different types of sexual assaults and many different types of offenders. Although they are different, they can be classified in order to create a common language between the criminal justice field and the mental health field. This in turn will enable more accurate research, predict future offenses, and assist in the prosecution and rehabilitation of the offenders.
In this Assignment, you compare different typologies of sexual offenders to determine the differences in motivation, expression of aggression, and underlining personality structure. You also determine the best way to interview each typology of sexual offenders.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the Learning Resources.
Select two typologies of sexual offenders listed in the resources.

Confessions
(selections)
Augustine of Hippo wrote his Confessions between 397 -400 CE. In it he gives an
autobiographical account of his whole life up through his conversion to Christianity.
In Book 2, excerpted here, he thinks over the passions and temptations of his youth,
especially during a period where he had to come home from where he was studying
and return to living with his parents. His mother Monica was already Christian and
his father was considering it. They want him to be academically successful and
become a great orator.

the corrupting effect of sensual experience on my soul, not because I love

your love, to the end that—as I recall my wicked, wicked ways in the
bitterness of recollection—you may grow even sweeter to me. For you are
a sweetness which does not deceive, a sweetness which brings happiness

and dispersed into the multiplicity that is oblivion. For there was a time
during my adolescence when I burned to have my fill of hell. I ran wild and
reckless in all manner of shady liaisons, and my outward appearance
deteriorated, and I degenerated before your eyes as I went on pleasing
myself and desiring to appear pleasing in human sight.

there was no boundary maintained between one mind and another, and
reaching only as far as the clear confines of friendship. Instead the slime
of fleshly desire and the spurts of adolescence belched out their fumes,
and these clouded and obscured my heart, so that it was impossible to
distinguish the purity of love from the darkness of lust. Both of them
together seethed in me, dragging my immaturity over the heights of bodily
desire, and plunging me down into a whirlpool of sin. Your anger grew
strong against me, but I was unaware of it. I had been deafened by the
loud grinding of the chain of my mortality, the punishment for the pride of
my soul, and I went even further away from yo.
8.3 Intercultural Communication
Learning Objectives
1. Define intercultural communication.
2. List and summarize the six dialectics of intercultural communication.
3. Discuss how intercultural communication affects interpersonal relationships.
It is through intercultural communication that we come to create, understand, and transform culture and identity. Intercultural communication is communication between people with differing cultural identities. One reason we should study intercultural communication is to foster greater self-awareness (Martin & Nakayama, 2010). Our thought process regarding culture is often “other focused,” meaning that the culture of the other person or group is what stands out in our perception. However, the old adage “know thyself” is appropriate, as we become more aware of our own culture by better understanding other cultures and perspectives. Intercultural communication can allow us to step outside of our comfortable, usual frame of reference and see our culture through a different lens. Additionally, as we become more self-aware, we may also become more ethical communicators as we challenge our ethnocentrism, or our tendency to view our own culture as superior to other cultures.
As was noted earlier, difference matters, and studying intercultural communication can help us better negotiate our changing world. Changing economies and technologies intersect with culture in meaningful ways (Martin & Nakayama). As was noted earlier, technology has created for some a global village where vast distances are now much shorter due to new technology that make travel and communication more accessible and convenient (McLuhan, 1967). However, as the following “Getting Plugged In” box indicates, there is also a digital divide, which refers to the unequal access to technology and related skills that exists in much of the world. People in most fields will be more successful if they are prepared to work in a globalized world. Obviously, the global market sets up the need to have intercultural competence for employees who travel between locations of a multinational corporation. Perhaps less obvious may be the need for teachers to work with students who do not speak English as their first language and for police officers, lawyers, managers, and medical personnel to be able to work with people who have various cultural identities.
“Getting Plugged In”
The Digital Divide
Many people who are now college age struggle to imagine a time without cell phones and the Internet. As “digital natives” it is probably also surprising to realize the number of people who do not have access to certain technologies. The digital divide was a term that initially referred to gaps in access to computers. The term expanded to include access to the Internet since it exploded onto the technology scene and is now connected to virtually all computing (van Deursen & van Dijk, 2010). Approximately two billion people around the world now access the Internet regularl.

Life in a Toxic Country
By EDWARD WONG
BEIJING — I RECENTLY found myself hauling a bag filled with 12 boxes of milk powder and a
cardboard container with two sets of air filters through San Francisco International Airport. I was
heading to my home in Beijing at the end of a work trip, bringing back what have become two of
the most sought-after items among parents here, and which were desperately needed in my own
household.
China is the world’s second largest economy, but the enormous costs of its growth are becoming
apparent. Residents of its boom cities and a growing number of rural regions question the safety of
the air they breathe, the water they drink and the food they eat. It is as if they were living in the
Chinese equivalent of the Chernobyl or Fukushima nuclear disaster areas.
Before this assignment, I spent three and a half years reporting in Iraq, where foreign
correspondents talked endlessly of the variety of ways in which one could die — car bombs,
firefights, being abducted and then beheaded. I survived those threats, only now to find myself
wondering: Is China doing irreparable harm to me and my family?
The environmental hazards here are legion, and the consequences might not manifest themselves
for years or even decades. The risks are magnified for young children. Expatriate workers
confronted with the decision of whether to live in Beijing weigh these factors, perhaps more than at
any time in recent decades. But for now, a correspondent’s job in China is still rewarding, and so I
am toughing it out a while longer. So is my wife, Tini, who has worked for more than a dozen years
as a journalist in Asia and has studied Chinese. That means we are subjecting our 9-month-old
daughter to the same risks that are striking fear into residents of cities across northern China, and
grappling with the guilt of doing so.
Like them, we take precautions. Here in Beijing, high-tech air purifiers are as coveted as luxury
sedans. Soon after I was posted to Beijing, in 2008, I set up a couple of European-made air
purifiers used by previous correspondents. In early April, I took out one of the filters for the first
time to check it: the layer of dust was as thick as moss on a forest floor. It nauseated me. I ordered
two new sets of filters to be picked up in San Francisco; those products are much cheaper in the
United States. My colleague Amy told me that during the Lunar New Year in February, a family

Make changes on the names, labels, and measure on the variable view.
Check the measure.
Have the same keys between “Name” and “Label.”
Run factor analysis for ys (dependent variables).
Select “Principal axis factoring” from “Extraction.”
The two-factor solution seems the best as (1) they are over one eigenvalue each and (2) the variance explained for is over 60%.
The new eigenvalues after the rotation.
The rotated factor matrix is clear.
But note that y3 and y1 are collapsed into one factor.
If not you should rerun factor analysis after removing the most problematic item one at a time.
Repeat this procedure until the rotated factor pattern has
(1) no cross-loading,
(2) no weak factor loading (< 0.5), and
(3) an adequate number of items (not more than 5 items per factor).
If a clear factor pattern is obtained, name the factors.
Attitude and purchase intention (y3 and y1)
Boycotting intention (y2)
Compute the reliability of the items of each factor
Make sure all responses were used.
Cronbach’s a (= Reliability a) must be greater than 0.70. Then, you can create the composite variable out of the member items.
Means and STDs must be similar among the items.
No a here should be greater than Cronbach’s a. If not, you should delete such item(s) to increase a.
Create the composite variable for each factor.
BI = mean (y2_1,y2_2,y2_3)
“PI” will be added to the data.

8.1 What Is Corporate Strategy?
LO 8-1
Define corporate strategy and describe the three dimensions along which it is assessed.
Strategy formulation centers around the key questions of where and how to compete. Business strategy concerns the question of how to compete in a single product market. As discussed in Chapter 6, the two generic business strategies that firms can follow to pursue their quest for competitive advantage are to increase differentiation (while containing cost) or lower costs (while maintaining differentiation). If trade-offs can be reconciled, some firms might be able to pursue a blue ocean strategy by increasing differentiation and lowering costs. As firms grow, they are frequently expanding their business activities through seeking new markets both by offering new products and services and by competing in different geographies. Strategic leaders must formulate a corporate strategy to guide continued growth. To gain and sustain competitive advantage, therefore, any corporate strategy must align with and strengthen a firm’s business strategy, whether it is a differentiation, cost-leadership, or blue ocean strategy.
Corporate strategy comprises the decisions that leaders make and the goal-directed actions they take in the quest for competitive advantage in several industries and markets simultaneously.3 It provides answers to the key question of where to compete. Corporate strategy determines the boundaries of the firm along three dimensions: vertical integration along the industry value chain, diversification of products and services, and geographic scope (regional, national, or global markets). Strategic leaders must determine corporate strategy along the three dimensions:
1. Vertical integration: In what stages of the industry value chain should the company participate? The industry value chain describes the transformation of raw materials into finished goods and services along distinct vertical stages.
2. Diversification: What range of products and services should the company offer?
3. Geographic scope: Where should the company compete geographically in terms of regional, national, or international markets?
In most cases, underlying these three questions is an implicit desire for growth. The need for growth is sometimes taken so much for granted that not every manager understands all the reasons behind it. A clear understanding will help strategic leaders to pursue growth for the right reasons and make better decisions for the firm and its stakeholders.
WHY FIRMS NEED TO GROW
LO 8-2
Explain why firms need to grow, and evaluate different growth motives.
Several reasons explain why firms need to grow. These can be summarized as follows:
1. Increase profits.
2. Lower costs.
3. Increase market power.
4. Reduce risk.
5. Motivate management.
Let’s look at each reason in turn.
INCREASE PROFITS
Profitable growth allows businesses to provide a higher return for their shareholders, or owners, if privately held. For publicly trade.

KATHLEEN W. HUTTLINGER and LARRY D. PURNELL
Overview, Inhabited Localities,
and Topography
OVERVIEW
Appalachia consists of that large geographic expanse in
the eastern United States that is associated with the
Appalachian mountain system, a 200,000-square-mile
region that extends from the northeastern United States
in southern New York to northern Mississippi. It includes
all of West Virginia and parts of Alabama, Georgia,
Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee,
and Virginia. This very rural area is characterized by a
rolling topography with very rugged ridges and hilltops,
some extending over 4000 feet high, with remote valleys
between them. The surrounding valleys are often 2000
feet or more in elevation and give one a sense of isolation,
peacefulness, and separateness from the lower and more
heavily traveled urban areas. This isolation and rough
topography have contributed to the development of
secluded communities in the hills and natural hollows or
narrow valleys where people, over time, have developed a
strong sense of independence and family cohesiveness.
These same isolated valleys and rugged mountains pre-
sent many transportation problems for those who do not
have access to cars or trucks. Very limited public trans-
portation is available only in the larger urbanized areas.
Even though the Appalachian region includes several
large cities, many people live in small settlements and in
inaccessible hollows or “hollers” (Huttlinger, Schaller-
Ayers, & Lawson, 2004a). The rugged location of many
communities in Appalachia results in a population that is
often isolated from the mainstream of health-care ser-
vices. In some areas of Appalachia, substandard secondary
and tertiary roads, as well as limited public bus, rail, and
airport facilities, prevent easy access to the area (Fig. 5–1).
Difficulty in accessing the area is partially responsible for
continued geographic and sociocultural isolation. The
rugged terrain can significantly delay ambulance response
time and is a deterrent to people who need health care
when their health condition is severe. This is one area in
which telehealth innovations can and often do provide
needed services.
Many of the approximately 24 million people who live
in Appalachia can trace their family roots back 150 or
more years, and it is common to find whole communities
comprising extended, related families. The cultural her-
itage of the region is rich and reflected in their distinctive
music, art, and literature. Even though family roots are
strong, many of the region’s younger residents have left
the area to pursue job opportunities in the larger urban
cities of the north. The remaining, older population
reflects a group that often has less than a high-school edu-
cation, is frequently unemployed, may be on welfare
and/or disability, and is regularly uninsured (20.4 per-
cent) (Virginia He.

Are your IT staff ready
for the pandemic-driven
insider threat? Phil Chapman
Obviously the threat to human life is
the top concern for everyone at this
moment. But businesses are also starting
to suffer as productivity slips globally
and the workforce itself is squeezed.
The UK Government’s March budget
did announce some measures, especially
for small and medium-size enterprises
(SMEs), that will make this period
slightly less painful for organisations.
However, as is apparent from the tank-
ing stock market (the FTSE 100 has
hit levels not seen since June 2012) the
economy and pretty much all businesses
in the country (unless you produce hand
sanitiser) are going to suffer. There is no
time like now for the UK to embrace
its mantra of ‘keep calm and carry on’
because that is what we must do if we’re
going to keep business flowing.
For the IT department at large there is
lots of urgent work to do to ensure that
the business is prepared to keep running
smoothly even if people are having to
work remotely. The task at hand for cyber
security professionals is arguably even
larger as Covid-19 is seeing cyber criminals
capitalising on the fact that the insider
threat is worse than ever, with more people
working remotely from personal devices
than many IT and cyber security teams
have likely ever prepared for.
This article will argue that the cyber
security workforce, which is already suf-
fering a digital skills crisis, may also be
lacking the adequate soft skills required
to effectively tackle the insider threat
that has been exacerbated by the pan-
demic. It will first examine the insider
threat, and why this has become so
much more insidious because of Covid-
19. It will then look into the essential
soft skills required to tackle this threat,
before examining how organisations can
effectively implement an apprentice-
ship strategy that generates professionals
with both hard and soft skills, includ-
ing advice from the CISO of globally
respected law firm Pinsent Masons, who
will provide insight into how he is mak-
ing his strategy work. It will conclude
that many of these issues could be solved
if the industry didn’t rely so heavily on
recruiting graduates and rather looked
towards hiring apprentices.
The insider threat
In the best of times, every cyber-pro-
fessional knows that the biggest threat
to an organisation’s IT infrastructure
is people, both malicious actors and
– much more often – employees and
partners making mistakes. The problem
is that people lack cyber knowledge and
so commit careless actions – for exam-
ple, forwarding sensitive information to
the wrong recipient over email or plug-
ging rogue USBs into their device (yes,
that still happens). Cyber criminals
capitalise on this ignorance by utilising
social engineering tactics ranging from
the painfully simple, like fake emails
from Amazon, to the very sophisticated,
such as.

4. Leadership is the ability to influence a group toward the
achievement of goals. A leader does not have to be someone
who holds a formal position or title. Leaders can emerge from a
group and provide vision and motivation to those around them.
They are critical in helping people cope with change by
establishing direction that relates to the vision. In order to
achieve the vision they align resources and inspire workers to
work toward organizational goals.
Management deals with the complexity of the organization and
works with planning, organizing, leading, and controlling to
bring about order and consistency in the organization.
Even though the two roles have different areas of focus, both
are necessary for organizational success.

Initiating structure is when the leader is able to define and
structure their role and that of their employees to work toward
the goals of the organization. Consideration is the ability of
the leader to gain the trust and respect of their followers and to
help them feel appreciated for what they do. Both behaviors
have proven to be very important in an effective leader.

situation demands a charismatic leader and your current leader
does not exhibit that style, you need to change leaders. This
leadership style can be determined by taking the LPC
questionnaire (least preferred co-worker).
After the leadership style is determined, you can match the
leader to the situation. There are three dimensions to find a
successful match. The first situational factor is the leader-
member relationship; this ties back to our behavioral studies by
looking at the degree of trust and respect employees have for
the leader. The second factor is the amount of structure that is
embedded in job assignments. The last factor is the amount of
influence the leader has over decisions that represent power
such as hiring, firing, and rewards.
In Fiedler’s model you need to find a leader to fit the situation
or change the situation to fit the leader in order to achieve
effective leadership for the organization.

16. Charisma comes from the Greek word meaning gift. When
talking about a charismatic leader one will refer to someone
with certain gifts or abilities. A charismatic leader will often
gain followers through personality rather than through power or
authority.
There are four key characteristics that are associated with a
charismatic leader. The leader must have vision, expressed as
an idealized goal. The leader must be willing to take on high
personal risk and engage in self-sacrifice to achieve the vision.
In doing so the leader needs to remain sensitive to the feelings
and needs of their followers. Throughout the process the leader
may be engaging in behaviors that are perceived as counter to
norms, thereby extraordinary.
16
Charismatic Leaders:
Born or Made?
Charisma is partially attributed to genetics and partially to
training and experience
Developing an aura of charisma:
Be optimistic
Be passionately enthusiastic
Commute with body, not just words
Draw others in – inspire others
Tap into emotions – bring out the potential in others
12-17
18. Evidence shows a four-step process can help the charismatic
leader utilize their characteristics to influence their followers.
First, the leader articulates a long-term strategy for achieving a
goal. This strategy should fit the vision and uniqueness of the
organization. Next, the leader needs to formalize that vision by
creating a vision statement. Charismatic leaders will often use
this statement to reinforce the goal and purpose of the
organization. This vision is communicated in a way that
expresses the leader’s excitement and commitment to the goal.
Next, the leader will use his words and actions to communicate
a new set of values for the followers to imitate. Then the
charismatic leader will try to find behaviors that demonstrate
their commitment to the vision. They will choose behaviors
that will help followers “catch” the emotions the leader is
conveying and help achieve buy-in of the followers.
Finally, the charismatic leader engages in emotion-inducing and
often unconventional behavior to demonstrate courage and
conviction about the vision to help the followers “catch” the
vision.

satisfaction

21. Transformational leaders help followers to look at the bigger
picture and commit to the good of the organization, even if it
means setting their own goals aside.
These two approaches are not contradictory in nature; in fact
they can complement each other. Transformational leadership
often is built upon transactional leadership. Good leadership
will incorporate both transactional and transformational
components.

38. and the organization has to embark on an in-depth analysis of
the policies to understand how they operate. Understanding the
operation of the policies create a platform to identify sources of
the threats and formulate an analysis to maximize their business
performance.
For example, research by Katehakis, Melamed, and Shi (2016)
analyses the need to have a balanced flow of cash and
inventories of goods based on the policies. It is an approach to
maximize the value of an organization’s capital. It is easy to
identify internally potential risks that may contribute to
devastating effects.
The entity also needs to focus on external forces that could
affect team performance like economic forces. For instance,
slow economic growth can affect business performance due to
reduced investment capital. Additionally, the global economic
crisis can contribute to low business performance due to
reduced capital to execute business operations (Bailey, Clua-
Losada, Huke, Ribera-Almandoz, & Rogers, 2018). Hence,
identifying how to mitigate against external economic forces
can help the organization formulate a budget to cater for
miscellaneous costs during a crisis. Also, the entity should
focus on investing in innovation and implementing recent
technologies to track financial performance. IT can establish
financial analysis tools to make good decisions about
investment strategies.
Therefore, the firm has a chance to eliminate financial related
threats based on prioritizing risks depending on the severity
(Fraser, Simkins, & Narvaez, 2014). For example, establishing a
strategy to balance the cash flow should be given priority to
eliminate financial complications. The firm should also invest
in adhering to recovery size and regulation, including tax to
eliminate lawsuits which can increase the cost of operations.
Lastly, it would be crucial to establish a way of increasing the
returns by venturing into innovations and recent technologies to
eliminate the stiff competition.
