Model for Implementing Successful Customer Relationship Management in Saudi T...ijbiss
The telecommunications sector in Saudi Arabia is continuously seeking to a close relationship with their customers. Most telecom companies have Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. However,
implementing CRM systems have a low success rate. This paper aims to propose a model that helps the telecom companies to increase the level of implementing successful CRM system. A model is drawn to
identify the critical success factors that contribute to successful CRM system in Saudi telecommunication sector. Seven basic hypotheses were tested, as parts of a theoretical model of successful CRM system.
Data was collected through a questionnaire. The empirical analysis was carried out using a structural equation model and regression. In addition, follow-up interviews were conducted with a small number of top
managers. Data obtained from the questionnaire was triangulated with data gathered from follow-up interviews. The findings revealed that the seven hypotheses were supported and lead to CRM success.

Achieving Competitive Advantage
Photo of a runner crossing the finish line.
Stockbyte/Thinkstock
A competitive advantage gives an organization the edge over its competition. By improving profits, increasing market share, and expanding into new areas, operations can work toward achieving this desired advantage.
Operations presents top management with many opportunities to develop competitive advantages. A competitive advantage is a capability that customers value, such as short delivery lead-time or high product quality that gives an organization an edge against its competition. When properly used, operations can be an important tool for improving profits, increasing market share, and developing new markets. A firm's market share is its percentage of sales in a particular market, that is, its sales divided by total sales for all organizations competing in a particular market.
An organization creates a competitive advantage by giving customers what they want in a better way than other companies. What do customers want, or in other words, what do they value? Figure 2.1 provides a model for understanding how an organization can deliver competitive advantage to its customers. An organization should know its external environment (threats and opportunities) and its internal environment (strengths and weaknesses), and have a clear understanding of the customers it is trying to serve. This is often called "SWOT analysis," for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. An in-depth understanding of customer requirements allows the firm to determine a set of competitive capabilities that will enable it to delight, rather than merely satisfy, customers. These competitive capabilities are, in turn, the result of well-designed business processes. These key business processes are cross-functional and require operations managers to work closely with their counterparts in accounting, finance, information systems, marketing, and other d ...

Introduction to CRM
Customer relationship management (CRM) is an approach to manage a company's interaction with current and potential customers
It’s seen as both an organizational strategy & information technology
Takes form in various systems and applications
Builds sustainable long-term customer relationships that create value for both the company and it’s customers
Contributes to customer retention & expansion of their relationships with advantageous existing customers
Obtains new customers
3
It uses data analysis about customers' history with a company to improve business relationships with customers, specifically focusing on customer retention and ultimately driving sales growth.
CRM helps companies acquire new customers and retain and expand their relationships with profitable existing customers. Retaining customers is particularly important because repeat customers are the largest generator of revenue for an enterprise. Also, organizations have long understood that winning back a customer who has switched to a competitor is vastly more expensive than keeping that customer satisfied in the first place.
The goal is simple: Improve business relationships. A CRM system helps companies stay connected to customers, streamline processes, and improve profitability.
Objectives
Who is CRM for?

Small businesses
Customers of both types of businesses listed above

Key Features:

improve efficiency & profitability
How does CRM benefit businesses?
Provides a clear overview of your customers
Can be used as both a sales and marketing tool
Contributes information from HR → Customer service → Supply-chain management
A CRM system gives eve#ryone — from sales, customer service, business development, recruiting, marketing, or any other line of business — a better way to manage the external interactions and relationships that drive success. A CRM tool lets you store customer and prospect contact information, identify sales opportunities, record service issues, and manage marketing campaigns, all in one central location — and make information about every customer interaction available to anyone at your company who might need it.
Some of the biggest gains in productivity can come from moving beyond CRM as a sales and marketing tool, and embedding it in your business – from HR to customer services and supply-chain management.

As more and more direct business effort must be expended toward relationships with customers, as companies feel comfortable with the reach of technology and their need to manage more amounts of highly specific data, and as more companies struggle to satisfy the career and lifestyle priorities of workers, they have warmed to the idea of outsourcing mission-critical functions.
For market leaders who are obsessed with building more company value, outsourcing has actually become a key business strategy.
A Review : Benefits and Critical Factors of Customer Relationship ManagementEswar Publications
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is a technical jargon which is a blend of methodologies, software and internet, which are used by a company to achieve its goal through the identification and satisfaction of customer’s
stated and unstated needs and wants. This software addresses customer life cycle management. This system
manages company interactions with current and future customers. It involves technology to organize, automate
and synchronize business processes. CRM application is an essential tool for a company to grow and help to increase the satisfaction of customers. There are many benefits of CRM; those make the market environment customer centric. In this paper, we reviewed previous studies and identify those benefits which affect customers and company both. But CRM has many problems also because of them CRM gets failure. Its failure rate is more than its success rate. We also elaborated its failure factors and along with them its critical success factors which help in making CRM a successful project for a company, however implementation of CRM is a complex task.

Chapter 1 Evaluation and Social Work Making the ConnectionP.docxzebadiahsummers
Chapter 1 Evaluation and Social Work: Making the Connection
Page 4
Let’s begin by considering three important questions: 1. Is evaluation an important area of social work? 2. Is the evaluator role an important one for social workers? 3. How can evaluations help improve or enhance social work interventions? These questions may be your questions as you begin to read this book. They are questions that many social work students and practitioners have pondered. This book is about evaluation so the responses to the first two questions, in brief, will be no surprise to you. Yes, evaluation is an important area of social work. Further, the evaluator role is an important role for every social worker to prepare to assume. Some social workers will be evaluators of programs, and virtually every social worker will be an evaluator of their own practice. It’s like asking whether social workers need to know whether they are doing a good job, or asking them if they know whether their interventions are effective in helping their clients. The third question, asking how evaluation can help improve social work interventions, is the focus of this text.
The underlying theme driving the book is that evaluation is a vital element of any social work approach and is critical for ensuring that social work actually does work! A reassuring theme is that evaluation is a practice area that BSW and MSW students and practitioners alike can learn. Social workers and students wanting to maximize their impact in their jobs will find that the perspective, knowledge, ethics, and skills of evaluations covered in this book are a central component of practice and ensure that you will have a much greater impact on your clients’ well-being. This book provides the needed preparation for evaluation in both a comprehensive and a readable format. The primary emphasis is on the various kinds of small and mid-range formative evaluations that are often implemented at the local agency level; less emphasis is placed on the large, com-plex national and regional studies that may draw the most coverage under the title evaluation. These smaller formative evaluations are also the critical ones that social work students and graduates either are assigned or should consider taking on in their field placements and employment agencies. Such
Page 5
evaluations often are instrumental in determining whether the programs in which you are working will continue and possibly expand. Example of a Small, Formative Evaluation An agency that provides an anger management program to perpetrators of domestic violence offers a series of ten psychoeducational group sessions to help them manage their anger. The agency also conducts an evaluation of this program that is integral to it. An anger management scale is used to measure changes that occur in the participants’ anger after they have completed all ten sessions of a group program. Throughout the series, the specific items of the anger management scale (e.g., be.
Changes in the Human Figure in ArtYou likely noticed that during.docxzebadiahsummers
Changes in the Human Figure in Art
You likely noticed that during the two hundred years covered in this week’s study there were radical changes in how the human figure is depicted in Italy, from something that was highly stylized to an idealized form that looked more real yet was strongly influenced by the Classical Age of ancient Greece and Rome. In Northern Europe, however, depiction of the human form remained somewhat stylized.
Use the textbook and/or online sources to locate and capture three works of art.
one from the Early Renaissance (fourteenth century, 1300–1399)
one from the Northern European Renaissance (fifteenth century, 1400–1499)
one from the Italian Renaissance (fifteenth century, 1400–1499)
Your works of art must either be all paintings or all sculptures.
First, place images of your selected works in a Word document. Then do the following:
For each work identify:
The artist
Title of the work of art
The date(s) it was created
The medium or materials used to create the work of art, such as oil paint, marble, etc.
Where the work is located now.
In a
well-developed
paragraph, provide at least two important historical facts about each work.
In another well-developed paragraph, describe how each artist depicted the human figure, supporting your observation using art historical vocabulary from this week's reading.
Then, In a 6–10-sentence concluding paragraph:
Compare and contrast how the depiction of the human figure has changed. Be sure to note such things as general appearance of the figures; their body types; whether the figures have been stylized, elongated, or idealized; and whether their clothing, colors, and other visual details have changed.
Based on your reading and what you learned from the historic facts you have for each work of art discuss what may have been influencing factors behind these changes.
Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information provided as appropriate.

chapter 8 notes – Asian Americans model minoritieschapter b.docxzebadiahsummers
chapter 8 notes – Asian Americans: model minorities?
chapter begins with a story of a sociologist, riding in a taxi
- he was born in the US of Japanese heritage (grandfather came to US in 1880s)
- taxi drive asks him how long he was in the US (the answer is since birth)
- brings up the perception of ‘other’ around Asian Americans
focus of this chapter: Chinese Americans and Japanese Americans (oldest Asian groups in the US; often considered to be ‘model minorities’)
- model minorities stereotype: successful, affluent, highly educated, not suffer from minority group status (remember this is a stereotype)
why an increase in immigration from the Philippines and India into the US?
- both colonized
— India by Britain
— Philippines 1st by Spain, then the US
current demographics
- Asian Americans are about 5.6% of the total population (2012) – see table 8.1 above
— contrasted with African Americans (13%) and Hispanic Americans (16%)
- overall, rapid growth in numbers of Asian Americans in US recently
— one reason: immigration changes in 1965
— one of the largest growing groups – Asian Indians
— rapid growth is expected to continue
- 10 largest Asian groups in fig 8.1 below
- high percentage of foreign born in Asian American population
— 88% of Asian Americans are either 1st generation (foreign born) or 2nd generation (their children)
— — see figure 8.2 below
- similar to Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans are
+ likely to identify with country of origin 1st
origins and cultures
great diversity in languages, cultures, religions
- Asian cultures are much older than the founding of the US
- these cultures are quite different from each other, but there are some similarities
similarities:
- group membership is more important than the individual
— some of above from Confucianism which emphasizes a person is one part of the larger social system, one part of the status hierarchy
— — therefore loyalty to group, conformity to societal expections and respect for superiors are important
- it is important to be sensitive to the opinions and judgements of others; avoid public embarrassment, giving offence
— guilt / shame dichotomy
— — Asian cultures: emphasis on not bringing shame to the family / group from others (if someone goes against societal expectations, they are bringing shame onto their family / group)
— — — emphasis on proper behavior, conformity to convention and how others judge one, avoid embarressment (to self or to others), avoid personal confrontations
— — — overall desire to seek harmony
— — Western culture emphasizes individuals develop personal consciences and we need to avoid guilt (if someone goes against societal expectations, they are guilty of ... — Westerners guided by personal sense of guilt)
- generally (but not always) traditionally patriarchal
— in China foot binding was practiced for many generations
the above tendencies are more likely for individuals new to the US, but not as likely for individuals / families in the U.

Abstract
Purpose: Weather-related disasters have increased dramatically in recent
years. In 2012, severe flooding as a result of Hurricane Sandy necessitated
the mid-storm patient evacuation of New York University Langone Medical
Center. The purpose of this study was to explore, from the nurses’ perspec-
tive, what the challenges and resources were to carrying out their responsibil-
ities, and what the implications are for nursing education and preparation for
disaster.
Design: This mixed-methods study included qualitative interviews with a
purposive sample of nurses and an online survey of nurses who participated in
the evacuation.
Methods: The interviews explored prior disaster experience and train-
ing, communication, personal experience during the evacuation, and lessons
learned. The cross-sectional survey assessed social demographic factors, nurs-
ing education and experience, as well as potential challenges and resources in
carrying out their disaster roles.
Findings: Qualitative interviews provided important contextual information
about the specific challenges nurses experienced and their ability to respond
effectively. Survey data identified important resources that helped nurses to
carry out their roles, including support from coworkers, providing support to
others, personal resourcefulness, and leadership. Nurses experienced consid-
erable challenges in responding to this disaster due to limited prior disaster
experience, training, and education, but drew on their personal resourceful-
ness, support from colleagues, and leadership to adapt to those challenges.
Conclusions: Disaster preparedness education in schools of nursing and
practice settings should include more hands-on disaster preparation exercises,
more “low-tech” options to address power loss, and specific policies on nurses’
disaster roles.
Clinical Relevance: Nurses play a critical role in responding to disasters.
Learning from their disaster experience can inform approaches to nursing ed-
ucation and preparation.

Centralized System for Strategic ResourcesIntroductionAttentio.docxzebadiahsummers
Centralized System for Strategic Resources
Introduction
Attention: According to recent news reports, US states are competing with each other to shop for medical supplies such as masks, PPE (personal protective equipment), and ventilators. Sometimes, states are even battling with the federal government for bidding, which pushed the prices for such supplies even higher and caused a lot of chaos.
Reveal Topic: A centralized system for strategic resources means that the federal government would represent all individual states and make purchases globally as a single outward-facing entity. Then resources will be coordinated and allocated to individual states.
Credibility: New York State Governor Cuomo states that it is very problematic to keep the current chaotic and unorganized systems. It costs more for taxpayers and could be life-threatening.
Central Idea: US federal government should establish a centralized system for buying, coordinating, and allocating strategic resources such as medical supplies.
Preview: Today, I will talk about why the lack of a centralized system for strategic resources could be costly and even deadly and the benefits of a centralized system.
Transition: Now let's first have a look at the harmful impacts of the current unorganized situation.
Body
I. Main Point #1 (statement of the need for action): Since the unorganized bidding for medical supplies is causing chaos and uncertainty, there should be a way to organize the bidding efforts so that all states can be allocated sufficient supplies.
A. (Description of the problem) The demand for medical supplies is high across all states in the United States amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
1. (signs, symptoms, effects of problem) Due to an increase in coronavirus cases, the low supply of medical resources, and the existence of numerous bidders in the market, States are experiencing a surge in the need for medical supplies (Lara, Rand, and Bartley).
2. (example, narrative, or testimony) The current situation in the country has slowed down the capacity of states to procure PPEs and has also augmented the costs (Triggle).
B. (Importance of problem) There is no efficient way to facilitate the process as everyone is trying to purchase the same thing.
1. (extent of problem) In the past, states in the U.S have worked closely with regional officials when faced with emergencies such as hurricanes, but the current unprecedented situation has affected all states simultaneously and has made the process murkier.
a. (facts/statistics) There is a bidding war between the various states and local governments as all states in the U.S are desperate to find a solution to meet the needs of their healthcare professionals in their fight against the spread of COVID-19 (Lara, Rand, and Bartley).
b. (expert/narrative) According to Casey Tingle, deputy director of the Louisiana Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, it is not clear whether the federal administration can p.

FS 1513 Observation Project Details
Time Involved
Students enrolled in FS 1513 are expected to complete at least 15 hours of observations related to human development. This work will involve creating a journal entry for each of their observational sessions. There should be entries for at least 15 hours of observations by the end of the semester.
There should be 1 journal entry for each time you observe—whether it is for 1 hour or more—there should only be 1 entry. So, if you observed 3 times in 1 week for 1 hour each time then you would need 3 journal entries. Alternately, if you observed 1 time for 3 hours then you would need 1 journal entry. However, this means that there will be less information to assess your work (i.e., 1 mistake can cost more points).
Observations: Who and Where
Part of the purpose of this project is to observe differences in development across the life span. So, observations should involve people from different age ranges over the course of the semester. Some entries should focus on development observed during childhood (i.e., observing children from infancy through grade-school), others should involve observing development during adolescence (i.e., observing pubescent and adolescent children), and others should involve should involve observing development during adulthood (i.e., observing adults from early to later in life). The important point is that observations should be completed for at least three age groups for the entire semester.
Observations should take place in naturalistic settings. Naturalistic means that people should be observed in place where they would normally be present (i.e., not in a lab). Ideally, this would mean that they are able to behave as they normally would. The goal, however, is to have enough time to observe a person so that they can demonstrate what they have developed. This means that you will need to be able to watch them behaving naturally for the duration of your observation (i.e., at least 1 hour). Observations that are less than 1 hour will not be counted as complete.
Formatting
Journal entries using the appropriate templates should be completed for each observation session. The templates (available on the course website and below) should contain all of the identifying information. Journal entries that do not use the template will not be graded.
First, each journal entry must contain documentary information. This should cover (1) who did the observations and who was observed, (2) where and when did the observations happen, (3) what were the people being observed generally like, (4) what was the setting like, and (5) keep tr.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

General Instructions Applicable to All Forums:
To receive 100% as a grade (the exemplary level) for the
weekly forums, you should ensure that your responses meet the
following criterion:
Critical Analysis - Discussion postings display an excellent
understanding of the required readings and underlying concepts
including correct use of terminology. Postings are made in time
for others to read and respond as well as deliver information
that is full of thought, insight, and analysis. The information
presented makes connection to previous or current content or to
real-life situations, and must contain rich and fully developed
new ideas, connections, or applications. (It is important that you
integrate the weekly readings in your response. One way to do
that is to make position statements, then discuss supporting
evidence (i.e. research and/or personal experience).
Professional Communication and Etiquette - Written
interactions in the Forum show respect and sensitivity to peers'
background and beliefs (Regardless of the position you are
taking, please ensure that your participation comments are
respectful to your peers’ background and beliefs).
Writing Skills - Written responses are free of grammatical,
spelling or punctuation errors. The style of writing facilitates
communication. (Make sure your work is free of errors. If there
are any errors as outlined above, you will not receive 100% for
the forum).
There are three characteristics that form the foundation of an
22. organization’s corporate culture:
1. Corporate culture is shared (i.e., represents a common
understanding and interpretation of what is important and not
important within the framework of an organization);
2. Corporate culture is intangible (i.e., reflects the values,
norms, and assumptions upon which an organization is
unwilling to compromise);
3. Corporate culture affects the way that human capital assets
behave.
