Discussion Board: Managing Dynamic Organizational Processes
Chapter 10: Do you think it is possible for an outsider to accurately discern about the underlying cultural values of an organization by analyzing symbols, ceremonies, dress, or other observable aspects of culture in comparison to an insider with several years of work experience? Select a percentage (e.g., 10%, 70%, etc.) and explain your reasoning.
Daft (2021) notes that culture is, “the set of values, norms, guiding beliefs, and understandings that is shared by members of an organization and taught to new members as the correct way to think, feel, and behave” (p. 445). Culture allows employees to integrate into a common environment and aids in adjusting to the external environment (Daft, 2021). An outside observer would be able to analyze symbols, ceremonies, dress, and other aspects of an organization and could accurately discern about 30% of an organization's cultural values. Symbols, ceremonies, dress, and other visually identifiable aspects of culture do not make up a large amount of organizational culture. The internal integration of coworkers guides employees' working relationships, interactions, communication, behaviors, and power structure (Daft, 2021). These are not easily identifiable from an outsider.
An insider with several years of experience could more accurately gauge an organization’s cultural beliefs. About 90% of an organization’s culture could be projected by an employee after working at the same company for several years. This employee would be able to see day-to-day relationships, how goals are met with outsiders, professional development, and even what nonconforming behaviors are accepted (Daft, 2021). This knowledge is developed with hands-on experience that an outsider may not see from the outside over a short period. Sahoo (2022) notes that or ...

Emotions and moods in an organization can cause problems for decision-making, the relationship between business ethics and social responsibility, and organizational ethics (Peltokorpi, 2020). The moral philosophy or orientation of an organization is its way of relating to individuals and the world. In the business world, business is measured by its ability to meet customer needs and profit objectives. An organization's moral philosophy tells how it views its responsibilities and views the moral principles that guide it. For example, an organization might have a moral philosophy of honesty and fairness. Personality and values in an organization may be very different from what they are within the company. If there is resentment against the hierarchical structure, this resentment may extend well beyond the people within the organization. Perhaps the person is trying to achieve a different kind of success within the organization, and the organization has become too hierarchical. Perhaps this person would like to find a different organization if possible. The final type of organizational conflict that is likely to occur is when the two organizational forces compete for resources in a marketplace (Radic et al., 2020).

Emotional regulation is also associated with poor health. Advertisers have a duty to their clients to promote ethical behavior. Ethical decisions are made as individuals, with ethical philosophies formed by specific values and as a collective. Advertisements can provide feedback to values, worldviews, and even the nature of reality itself. Therefore, the ad maker must provide various examples that will challenge the worldview and assumptions of advertising to create awareness (Radic et al., 2020). Mood changes throughout the day can be observed using a bright light source or microphone or using a timer operated by remote control. There are many ways to monitor physiological changes within a lab environment, such as thermometers, carbon dioxide monitoring devices, and water changes(Peltokorpi, 2020).
Experimental Design a well-designed design enables experimentation to proceed in an orderly and controlled manner. While design details are undoubtedly important, they are not necessary for every situation. Additionally, this type of self-regulation is challenging for businesses because they face both legal and regulatory requirements. The perceived need to manage their brand's image and image can negatively impact a business's bottom line. Moody's Investors Service states in a recent study on the development of risk management for institutional investors and the role of corporate social responsibility that a significant number of respondents experienced significant difficulties in their corporate objectives in terms of meeting investor expectations (Radic et al. ...

Organization culture is the trademark and the unmistakable character began inside each organization. Regardless of whether we are curious about companies like Starbucks, Google or WWF? Their names speak to the flavour of their work environments, the mentality, the unwritten convention of associations and the organization esteems. While some may consider organizational culture as the aftereffect of the organization's kin and procedures, something that can't be controlled or evaluated, in all actuality, organizational culture is suddenly substantial (Treven & Lynn, 2008). It very well may be purposely planned and utilized. It influences confidence and representative commitment. It oversees income rates and impacts organization execution and it influences benefit.

Culture definition changed as the years progressed. For instance, over four decades prior imagined a more extensive meaning of culture by proposing that culture was a »human-made piece of the earth.

Question 1
A set of beliefs, norms and values that is shared by a group, culture is a systemic sense that can create a common commitment to an organization’s mission. With identifying markers that extend beyond the individual, it can be represented in a fabric of shared themes and feelings. Whether displayed in forms of dress, symbols, verbal phrases or typical behaviors, its permeance can be silent in its mode of action, yet quite visible to internal and external stakeholders (Daft, 2018).
Serving two fundamental and critical functions, the culture of an organization can be a catalyst in uniting members in how they relate to one another within the organization and how the members follow the same process in relation to the outside environment (Daft, 2018). However, although it is often associated with ethical decision making (Kara, Rojas-Mendez & Turan), the element of inequality can create fear and discourse if an unrealistic and bias culture themes are dictated, thus resulting in disagreement or conflict with management. Therefore, the perception of stakeholders or groups of interest regarding the cultural practices of the organization may not be entirely correct (Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Diaz-Fernández & Biagio, 2019).
Directly related to the perception of the value system of the organization and its management, the acceptable cultural differences that shape the internal behavior of members can have an impact in external relationships (Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Diaz-Fernández & Biagio, 2019). However, as Daft (2018) noted, a mechanistic or controlling system may block any organic input,.

Introduction
Global leaders are a rising class of leaders that are capable of working in universal and global connections. Introductory exploration demonstrates that global leaders are a remarkable breed with identifiable attributes (Mendenhall, 2013). They have a particular interest in the world and enthusiasm for individuals is not the same as themselves. This hobby motivates visionary activities and associations that encompass national limits. Besides, genuine global leadership perceives the effect of their activities on surrounding groups and the entire society. They comprehend that individual success is subordinate upon the thriving of others and that they assume a part in changing their organizations, as well as the social orders in which they work. Osland, Oddou, Bird, & Osland, (2013) Shows worldwide pioneers conceived, as well as can make. Global leadership gets to be who they are by developing specific methods for taking a gander at the world, contemplating issues and opportunities and acting with respectability in a quest for arrangements. Research demonstrates that global pioneers offer three typical qualities: they have a collective mentality that permits them to unite cross-culture over limits, they are international business people headed to make new solutions and seize opportunities, and they are universal nationals enlivened to add to the groups they touch. Initiative in a various and multicultural environment: creating mindfulness, learning, and abilities (Caligiuri, & Tarique, 2012).
Over the previous decade, global and residential associations have perceived the essential requirement for their leaders to wind up skillful in culturally diverse connections. The move to a worldwide economy and the expanding expansion of the workforce in the United States bolster the progressing requirement for exploration and preparing here. Capable multicultural leaders are vital to an association's accomplishment in the global business sector.

Changes of Organizations
Introduction
Organizational changes and reengineering are as old as organizations' existence and even referenced in the bible. The story of Moses and his father-in-law (King James Bible, 1769/2017, Exodus 18:13-27) discussing the people's judgment is an example of how delegation of authority can be implemented and handed down to others to complete the same judgment that Moses was employed and responsible for. It is equivalent to organizational leadership delegating authority to make decisions and effect changes with the limited risk involved. It is one of the first examples of a loosely coupled system. A loosely coupled system reduces the risk that a change made within one element will create unanticipated changes within other elements (Tech Target, 2011). Today, organizational changes have several factors of consideration by an organization to reduce the risk associated with decisions to implement changes. Those factors include the organizational structure, the current strategy, and the environmental impact on the market and industry.
The Covid-19 pandemic that hit the world stage in early 2020 is a prime example of recent changes that affect the changes that impact organizational operations today. The changes included a teleworking environment where employees considered non-essential to the traditional in-person approach could work using technology platforms to communicate and remain productive at a safe distance, not infecting or becoming infected by a deadly virus. Like anything encountered in life that is not ideal, knowing that God has a plan already in place for us and digging deep to persevere for a better day is essential to come out victorious on the other side. Merida, Platt, and Akin (2015) say “we should be reminded of the grace of God, who brings refreshing fall-like seasons in our life (Merida, Platt, & Akin, 2015, p.277).”
Remote Workforce
An emerging switch in how organizations had to adapt and rapidly respond to a change to the working environment that affected millions around the globe was a remote working environment to continue operations. Something considered impossible became a welcomed necessity to continue operations and maintain the same level of service and production as before the pandemic hit.

Early estimates suggested that, due to the pandemic, approximately 50% of the European workforce worked remotely compared with 12% prior to the pandemic (Ahrendt, Cabrita, Clerici, Hurley, & Leončikas, 2020).

Macro Environment and Organisational Structure A Reviewijtsrd
This piece of work theoretically or descriptively considered the impact of the external environment on the structure of organizations. The key variables being organizational structure the dependent variable and the external environment of the organization as the independent variable . Dimensions of organizational structure adopted were centralization, formalization, standardization, specialization and configuration while the measures of external environment applied were level of uncertainty or changeability, intolerance or xenophobia and complexity. The theoretical foundation was hinged on social identity theory and contingency theory. Meaning, types and factors affecting organizational structure were considered alongside environmental factors. It was observed that the external environment has great impact on the organization and is largely responsible for the dynamic nature of the business world. It was therefore recommended that an adequate environmental scanning be carried out to ascertain the stability or otherwise of the environment to be able to know which structural type to adopt at every point in time.

Abstract
Globalization and knowledge management deals with the application of knowledge, tools and methodologies in the coordination of the complex and unique project. In accordance to the definition, project knowledge can be regarded as useful, resourceful information that enables implementation of the project concerning the objectives that is time to be taken, the execution cost and the quality of the outcome. Knowledge in organisational activities has been confirmed by researchers as fundamental for building competitive advantages of firms and business. This paper aims to document the results of the survey concerning the use of knowledge management practices in international organizations and shows that knowledge management as a helpful tool in the globalization process.

Introduction
Nonprofit launch initiatives directed at changes for an organization of this magnitude should begin with an adaptable plan. Here important objectives are identified with the basic concept of how and when the organization can facilitate action. Comprehending the dynamics of challenges being addressed and the resources required is essential for a realistic assessment on a myriad of levels. Allison and Kaye (2005) believe organizers “must recognize that the mission’s success lies in getting involvement from all parts of the organization” (p. 32). That being stated, further illustrates the importance of strategic processing as it relates to communication, evaluation, and prioritization.
Communication
Establishing effective, viable channels of communication provide a means to introduce concerns and begin dialogs. Broadening the scope of the assessment to include feedback from all chapters elicits engagement and improves clarity. Creating forums that openly invites two-way dialog as a means to shore up the effectiveness of communication often mitigate risk associated with subjective perspectives and assumptions. The nonprofit sector encompasses perspectives from volunteers, staff, and board members that are all challenged with meeting diverse mission goals. Murphy (2013) stresses the importance of creating a work environment conducive to working “productively with team members who have different objectives” (p.68).
Evaluation
Decentralized modes of operation within the 100 chapters have presented a challenge with approaching any aspect of changes unilaterally. Consequently, the intricate details of program assessments supportive of the mission statement should commence immediately. Cognitive perceptions of circumstances will help all communicators establish frames of reference that elicit clarity of details for critical thinking and decision making. Reflecting briefly on Proverbs 19:2 (KJV) “Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth” provides sensible rational for deliberating before giving in to impulsivity. Further delineation of metrics and the cogent analysis of practical applications encourage systematic consensus of outcomes. Ardent attention to details derived collectively will potentially reveal more neglected or overlooked contributing factors. In an effort to minimize wasted resources on duplicate or inane resolves, project objectives may require redirection.
Prioritization
Managing the strategy involves connecting developmental designs to implementation efforts (Worth, 2014, p. 161). Fragmentation plays a critical role in the strategic planning process too. Knowing the objective breakdowns and how they will fall into place within the grand scheme facilitates better control of capacity. The availability and allocations of organizational resources can limit progress or drain resou.

Introduction
Global leaders are a rising class of leaders that are capable of working in universal and global connections. Introductory exploration demonstrates that global leaders are a remarkable breed with identifiable attributes (Mendenhall, 2013). They have a particular interest in the world and enthusiasm for individuals is not the same as themselves. This hobby motivates visionary activities and associations that encompass national limits. Besides, genuine global leadership perceives the effect of their activities on surrounding groups and the entire society. They comprehend that individual success is subordinate upon the thriving of others and that they assume a part in changing their organizations, as well as the social orders in which they work. Osland, Oddou, Bird, & Osland, (2013) Shows worldwide pioneers conceived, as well as can make. Global leadership gets to be who they are by developing specific methods for taking a gander at the world, contemplating issues and opportunities and acting with respectability in a quest for arrangements. Research demonstrates that global pioneers offer three typical qualities: they have a collective mentality that permits them to unite cross-culture over limits, they are international business people headed to make new solutions and seize opportunities, and they are universal nationals enlivened to add to the groups they touch. Initiative in a various and multicultural environment: creating mindfulness, learning, and abilities (Caligiuri, & Tarique, 2012).
Over the previous decade, global and residential associations have perceived the essential requirement for their leaders to wind up skillful in culturally diverse connections. The move to a worldwide economy and the expanding expansion of the workforce in the United States bolster the progressing requirement for exploration and preparing here. Capable multicultural leaders are vital to an association's accomplishment in the global business sector.

Changes of Organizations
Introduction
Organizational changes and reengineering are as old as organizations' existence and even referenced in the bible. The story of Moses and his father-in-law (King James Bible, 1769/2017, Exodus 18:13-27) discussing the people's judgment is an example of how delegation of authority can be implemented and handed down to others to complete the same judgment that Moses was employed and responsible for. It is equivalent to organizational leadership delegating authority to make decisions and effect changes with the limited risk involved. It is one of the first examples of a loosely coupled system. A loosely coupled system reduces the risk that a change made within one element will create unanticipated changes within other elements (Tech Target, 2011). Today, organizational changes have several factors of consideration by an organization to reduce the risk associated with decisions to implement changes. Those factors include the organizational structure, the current strategy, and the environmental impact on the market and industry.
The Covid-19 pandemic that hit the world stage in early 2020 is a prime example of recent changes that affect the changes that impact organizational operations today. The changes included a teleworking environment where employees considered non-essential to the traditional in-person approach could work using technology platforms to communicate and remain productive at a safe distance, not infecting or becoming infected by a deadly virus. Like anything encountered in life that is not ideal, knowing that God has a plan already in place for us and digging deep to persevere for a better day is essential to come out victorious on the other side. Merida, Platt, and Akin (2015) say “we should be reminded of the grace of God, who brings refreshing fall-like seasons in our life (Merida, Platt, & Akin, 2015, p.277).”
Remote Workforce
An emerging switch in how organizations had to adapt and rapidly respond to a change to the working environment that affected millions around the globe was a remote working environment to continue operations. Something considered impossible became a welcomed necessity to continue operations and maintain the same level of service and production as before the pandemic hit. The rise in how many organizations embraced and executed a telework posture almost quadrupled.
Early estimates suggested that, due to the pandemic, approximately 50% of the European workforce worked remotely compared with 12% prior to the pandemic (Ahrendt, Cabrita, Clerici, Hurley, & Leončikas, 2020). Private sector organizations were moving toward telework as an option to continue operations, and the public sectors were as well.

Introduction
Nonprofit launch initiatives directed at changes for an organization of this magnitude should begin with an adaptable plan. Here important objectives are identified with the basic concept of how and when the organization can facilitate action. Comprehending the dynamics of challenges being addressed and the resources required is essential for a realistic assessment on a myriad of levels. Allison and Kaye (2005) believe organizers “must recognize that the mission’s success lies in getting involvement from all parts of the organization” (p. 32). That being stated, further illustrates the importance of strategic processing as it relates to communication, evaluation, and prioritization.
Communication
Establishing effective, viable channels of communication provide a means to introduce concerns and begin dialogs. Broadening the scope of the assessment to include feedback from all chapters elicits engagement and improves clarity. Creating forums that openly invites two-way dialog as a means to shore up the effectiveness of communication often mitigate risk associated with subjective perspectives and assumptions. The nonprofit sector encompasses perspectives from volunteers, staff, and board members that are all challenged with meeting diverse mission goals. Murphy (2013) stresses the importance of creating a work environment conducive to working “productively with team members who have different objectives” (p.68).
Evaluation
Decentralized modes of operation within the 100 chapters have presented a challenge with approaching any aspect of changes unilaterally. Consequently, the intricate details of program assessments supportive of the mission statement should commence immediately. Cognitive perceptions of circumstances will help all communicators establish frames of reference that elicit clarity of details for critical thinking and decision making. Reflecting briefly on Proverbs 19:2 (KJV) “Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth” provides sensible rational for deliberating before giving in to impulsivity. Further delineation of metrics and the cogent analysis of practical applications encourage systematic consensus of outcomes.

You are a Wichita Police Department detective working in the major c.docxShainaBoling829
You are a Wichita Police Department detective working in the major crimes unit, and you are assigned to a joint federal–state–city crime task force working on a number of major drug cases. Over a period of several months, your task force has been able to gather information and make cases on several of the drug suppliers, drug dealers, and drug buyers in the Wichita metropolitan area. The task force is about to complete its mission by filing criminal charges in the federal district court, the state district court, or the Wichita Municipal Court against these various suspects. These suspects will not be arrested until the warrants are issued.
Your job is to make recommendations concerning which jurisdictions should file the charges on which defendants. You will need to evaluate the criminal statutes and penalties in each jurisdiction and even the rules of evidence to determine where your task force has the best chance of obtaining a conviction and in getting the punishment to fit the crime.
The memo that you receive from your Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) task force supervisor explains the situation:
MEMO
Re: Charging Decisions
You are the primary investigator in the cases against Jones, Smith, and Thompson. As I review your reports, it appears that each of these cases has strengths and weaknesses that we should evaluate before we determine whether to file charges in the U.S. District Court, the Sedgwick County District Court for the State of Kansas, or the Wichita Municipal Court. I will summarize those strengths and weaknesses here to make sure I am reading your reports correctly. I need you to give me advice on where you think these charges should be brought.
Jones has been working for you as a confidential informant because you have evidence against him for a February 6, 2005 third possession of cocaine after convictions in 1993 and 1994. He appears to have followed the terms of his deal with you to introduce our undercover agents to his dealer. We have promised not to prosecute for any drug offenses he may commit in the presence of our undercover agent while playing the role of our informant. His assistance has enabled us to get sufficient evidence on Smith and Thompson to obtain convictions. Based on Jones’ two prior convictions for possession of cocaine, we would normally want him to go to federal court, where the maximum sentences are available. However, because of his cooperation, we could file the case in the Sedgwick County, Kansas, and district court under state law. We could even change the charge to a drug paraphernalia offense and send his case to the city of Wichita.
How do you think we should proceed concerning Jones' February 6, 2005 cocaine possession? (30%)
He will probably plead guilty unless we send him to federal court. Where do you want to file the case? (20%)

xxxx, great post. I agree that as technology has grown so has the influence of the media. It is now that we can see it as it is happening, but most time we have someone "telling us" what is happening. I agree that the public is given information passed on through society's filters. This can be dangerous depending on who is sending and releasing the information.
I also agree that our dress choices are influenced by the media, especially social media at this point. Some many other things are put out there and most time it’s a false image. It is sad that sometimes people build their lives upon social media and its "famous" people. It is sad that some people are not being themselves because they are following a lie on social media. As a people we must learn that it’s ok not to follow the masses and be ourselves, and not believe the lie that you are nothing if you don't have the life, the job, and the things that is portrayed in the media.

Yet society has in every possible way created the impression that only some are in God’s favor and the others out. By our dress, color, nationality, wealth, age, gender, education, language, looks, and health, others can recognize instantly whether we are blessed or cursed, beloved or rejected. There are enormous benefits in going along with this selective grading of human beings, and severe penalties inflicted for its rejection. For these that God does not sit atop the pyramid of power accidents of genetics and class determine one’s social location and power, and anyone who tampers with them undermines the foundations of unequal privilege. To say legitimating the entire edifice, does not favor some and reject others, is to expose the entire structure as human contrivance established in defiance of God’s very nature. ––Walter Wink

xxxxx comment 1
xxxxx, I believe America only sees left/right, liberal/conservative, one's race/others' race, one's religion/others' religion, etc. To be fair, there are important issues that we do face but the media has pulled both further from the center. This is done to keep us preoccupied in conflict so we ignore what is being done in front of our faces, which is politicians/media/wealthy elites are controlling the government/financial system/media to mold the public's views and what they buy. By them focusing on these secondary issues and differences, we are missing the root problem: money in politics. These legal bribes guarantee that we are not represented in legislation unless enough people oppose the current law.
Comment 2
Nicely said, it is amazing how money can be used to basically buy anything in the world, even our politicians. The Presidency, our Senators and Congressman, Governors, Mayor's and more. This allows for things like the rich getting richer and the poor or course getting poorer. It almost seems like there is no middle class anymore. Money plays a huge role in everyday life. Don't get me wrong, money and politicians has definitely been used in some cases for the good or doing the right thing. We cannot base everything evil or not perfect on money. We just have to be more responsible.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Discussion Board: Managing Dynamic Organizational Processes
Chapter 10: Do you think it is possible for an outsider to
accurately discern about the underlying cultural values of an
organization by analyzing symbols, ceremonies, dress, or other
observable aspects of culture in comparison to an insider with
several years of work experience? Select a percentage (e.g.,
10%, 70%, etc.) and explain your reasoning.
Daft (2021) notes that culture is, “the set of values,
2. norms, guiding beliefs, and understandings that is shared by
members of an organization and taught to new members as the
correct way to think, feel, and behave” (p. 445). Culture al lows
employees to integrate into a common environment and aids in
adjusting to the external environment (Daft, 2021). An outside
observer would be able to analyze symbols, ceremonies, dress,
and other aspects of an organization and could accurately
discern about 30% of an organization's cultural values.
Symbols, ceremonies, dress, and other visually identifiable
aspects of culture do not make up a large amount of
organizational culture. The internal integration of coworkers
guides employees' working relationships, interactions,
communication, behaviors, and power structure (Daft, 2021).
These are not easily identifiable from an outsider.
An insider with several years of experience could more
accurately gauge an organization’s cultural beliefs. About 90%
of an organization’s culture could be projected by an employee
after working at the same company for several years. This
employee would be able to see day-to-day relationships, how
goals are met with outsiders, professional development, and
even what nonconforming behaviors are accepted (Daft, 2021).
This knowledge is developed with hands-on experience that an
outsider may not see from the outside over a short period.
Sahoo (2022) notes that organizational culture must be aligned
with company policies, procedures, and goals for them to have
any chance of succeeding as they have a large impact on how an
organization operates.
Chapter 11: A noted organization theorist once said, "Pressure
for change originates in the environment. Pressure for stability
originates within the organization." Do you agree?
I agree with the above statement. Daft (2021) notes
that:
“Technological advances, changing markets, increasing
government regulation, e-business and mobile commerce,
shifting social attitudes, global economic turbulence, social
media and the digital information revolution, and the growing
3. power of Arab countries and the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia,
India, and China) have brought about an uncertain globalized
economy that affects every business, from the largest to the
smallest, creating more threats as well as more opportunities”
(p. 480).
This passage demonstrates the sheer number of environmental
forces that can pressure organizational change. Janka et al.
(2019) note that stability is often sought after internally as the
more a company stays the course, the more change employees
feel that their job is not on the line. While many depict stability
as a bad thing, Janka et al. (2019) note that innovation is still
possible in highly stable organizations through cultural
controls.
Environmental forces can pressure companies to change
and innovate to remain relevant in the marketplace or may even
force a company to change its domain or environment to survive
(Daft, 2021). Azadegan et al. (2021) provide several examples
of companies that were forced to change their business models
throughout the pandemic due to supply chain disruptions and
lockdowns. While stability in these crises is sought internally,
companies can sometimes only achieve stability through change.
Chapter 12: If managers frequently use experience and intuition
to make complex, non-programmed decisions, how do they
apply evidence-based management (which seems to suggest that
managers should rely on facts and data)?
Evidence-based management is one of the ways
managers can overcome cognitive biases (Daft, 2021). Daft
(2021) states that evidence-based management, “means a
commitment to make more informed and objective decisions
based on the best available facts and evidence” (p. 543). This
enables managers to look at data and make decisions
objectively. Combining this management style with intangibles
and soft skills is what makes good managers great ones. Daft
(2021) notes that other ways to overcome biases include
encouraging dissent and diversity along the decision-making
process. Having employees with a questioning attitude can
4. provide managers with outside thoughts before making final
decisions.
Chapter 13: In a rapidly changing organization, are decisions
more likely to be made using the rational or political model of
organization?
The rational model of an organization utilizes readily
identifiable goals, steps, and decisions (Daft, 2021). Choices
are made according to which one has the highest chance of
success and is, "characterized by centralized power and control,
extensive information systems, and an efficiency orientation”
(p. 583). The political model is the opposite of the rational
model and is comprised of conflict, disagreement, ambiguous
information, and group think decision-making (Daft, 2021).
While many companies operate both models, an organization
that is rapidly changing must utilize the political model. It is
more flexible to the many unexpected situations that arise in a
dynamic organization that deals with a high amount of conflict.
The rational model should not be used in a dynamic
organization as the set steps and procedures will not be able to
be followed to make decisions if they are not established for the
varying situations that occur.
A caveat to choosing the political process is that
additional tactics for enhancing collaboration may be needed
due to the higher incidence of conflict. Daft (2021)
demonstrates these tactics include creating integration devices,
using confrontation and negotiation, scheduling intergroup
consultation, establishing member rotations, and creating shared
missions and subordinate goals.
What biblical implications should be included/addressed?
Matthew 18: 15-16 (New International Version
Bible, 1978/2011) demonstrates the need for people to resolve
their difference in private, and if unable to do so find a
mediator that can help. Telling one the sins committed against
them allows faults to be healed amongst brothers who are
gained in Christ. This example of mediation and dispute
resolution can be utilized in the workspace and in companies
5. that adopt the political model as described above.
How can/should a biblical worldview be applied?
A biblical worldview can be applied across an
organization. In addition to the conflict resolution described
above organizations should look at Philippians 2:3-4 which
states, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain
conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not
looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of
the others” (New International Version Bible, 1978/2011). This
demonstrates the importance of people helping their brothers in
Christ. Organizational goals and corporate social responsibility
initiatives are examples of some ways companies can seek to
improve the communities that they operate in.

6. Is it possible for an outsider to accurately discern about the
underlying cultural values of an organization by analyzing
symbols, ceremonies, dress, or other observable aspects of
culture in comparison to an insider with several years of work
experience?
The short answer to this question is no, an outsider
cannot accurately determine the intricacies of the underlying
cultural values within an organization by analyzing symbols,
ceremonies, dress, or other observable aspects of culture. This
is due to the simple fact that the listed are found within the
visible elements of culture and the underlying elements define
the culture within an organization through unconscious actions
found within values, assumptions, belief systems, and thought
processes (Daft, 2021). As such, it would take an insider with
experience within the organization to be able to lay out the
intricacies of the underlying cultural values. Daft (2021) gives
tangible examples of corporations working to influence the
underlying cultural values by implementing visible elements of
culture such as no separate offices or the use of the informal
form of address versus the formal. It may be safe to say that one
can make assertions as to what they believe the underlying
cultural values may be base on other research, but without the
insider knowledge, these will be just assertions.
Chapter 12
A noted organization theorist once said, "Pressure for change
originates in the environment. Pressure for stability originates
within the organization." Do you agree?
Based on the reading, this statement is true. The
environment provides the pressure necessary to induce change.
This can be caused by technological advances or customer
demands. It is through change that a company maintains its
relevancy within an industry. Should they remain stagnant, then
it is likely that the organizations willing to adapt and change
accordingly will pass them by. The environment generates three
forms of change: episodic, continuous, and disruptive (Daft,
2021). Episodic change occurs when there are relatively long
7. periods of stability with minimal change. In today’s
environment, this appears to be a thing of the past. The change
today’s managers typically encounter is continuous change and
disruptive change. This is due to the continued development of
technology and products. Continuous change becomes
disruptive change, and innovation, when the process of
innovating a product of service starts off small and ends up
revolutionizing an industry (Daft, 2021). It is also true that
stability originates within the organization. This is something
that managers prefer as it makes for easy planning and increases
efficiency. However, with regular changes occurring in the
current global environment, managers need to ensure change has
been built into the organizational structure in order to inspire
innovation while simultaneously encouraging efficiency (Daft,
2021).
Chapter 13
If managers frequently use experience and intuition to make
complex, non-programmed decisions, how do they apply
evidence-based management (which seems to suggest that
managers should rely on facts and data)?
Intuitive decision making is the use of experience and
judgment as the basis for making a decision (Daft, 2021). This
form of decision making can be crucial during a time of crisis
where time is of the essence. The intuitive decision making
process is also where managers are able to utilize intangible
factors as an influence in their decisions. On the other end of
the spectrum is the evidence-based management style of
decision making, or the decision making process in which
evidence and available facts are utilized to make an informed
and objective decision (Daft, 2021). Daft (2021) continues to
state that the encouragement of dissent and diversity is a
significant way disrupt the influence of the cognitive biases that
tend to be the foundation of intuitive decision making. This can
be done through the utilization of a devil’s advocate; essentially
someone who asks why in order to challenge the immediate
thought process to ensure the validity. There is also the use of
8. two parallel teams working to solve the same problem. This is
known as ritual dissent. Though the end goal of each team is the
same, the hope is that each team will develop and defend their
own solutions against the ridicule of the other team (Daft,
2021). Again, the intent here is to poke holes in the proposed
solutions in an attempt to strengthen the final decision. It is
thought that in order to make this form of decision making a
regular part of business and viewed as a primary form of
decision making, business schools have to be the pioneers. That
is to say that they need to not only teach it, but embody it
(Leroy et al., 2022).
Chapter 14
In a rapidly changing organization, are decisions more likely to
be made using the rational or political model of organization?
The rational model of organization is one in which
everything is measured and weighed prior to the making of a
decision. Tis includes the defining of goals, identifying
alternative courses of action, and selecting the choice with the
highest probability of success (Daft, 2021). This sounds like the
ideal scenario for decision making and organizational model.
Unfortunately, it is not viewed as sustainable in the ever -
changing environment organizations find themselves in today
(Daft, 2021). Although managers try to adopt the rational model
of organization, the simple truth is that it is not sustainable as
conflict can be found even within a single organization. This
tends to be interdepartmental disputes over assets and therefore
a manager has to ensure that they are working to maintain a
level of contentment throughout the organization during and
after decisions have been made. Once again, it is typical to find
the use of both models being utilized within an organization.
However, in terms of operating within a rapidly changing
environment, a manager will likely not have the time to
implement the rational model of organization and will have to
lean on the political model.
Biblical Integration
What biblical implications should be included/addressed?
9. While the development of organizational culture is
extremely important to the passing of crucial knowledge from
one generation of workers to another as well as the development
of increased levels of satisfaction and commitment (“Informal
learning and work engagement among older workers: The
importance of organizational culture,” 2022), Christians must
ensure to guard their hearts and minds from worldly forms of
thinking and operating. Romans states that Christians should
“not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is
the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect”
(English Standard Version Bible, 2001/2016, Romans 12:2). As
such, Christian business professionals should seek God’s
wisdom when determining ways to develop the organizatio nal
culture. It is also important to understand that the visible
changes may, or may not, impact the underlying values as
intended.
How can/should a biblical worldview be applied?
The utilization of a devil’s advocate or ritual dissent
can be viewed as a form of utilizing multiple consultants. The
bible states that “where there is no guidance, a people falls, but
in an abundance of counselors there is safety” (English Standard
Version Bible, 2001/2016, Proverbs 11:14). While the decision
is ultimately the manager’s, this individual can benefit greatly
from the collaboration of others. God does not want His people
to walk through the world on their own attempting to make all
their life decisions in a bubble, and He would not want business
professionals to operate alone either.
