Title: HOW DIVERSITY WORKS. Authors: Phillips, Katherine W.1 Source: Scientific American. Oct2014, Vol. 311 Issue 4, p43-47. 5p. Document Type: Article Subject Terms: *DIVERSITY in organizations *DIVERSITY in the workplace *INNOVATIONS in business *CREATIVE ability in business *TEAMS in the workplace *GROUP decision making *ORGANIZATIONAL sociology *ETHNICITY -- Social aspects Abstract: The article discusses the benefits of diversity in organizations. The author notes that research has shown social diversity in a group can cause discomfort, a lack of trust, and lower communication, adding that research has also shown that socially diverse groups are more innovative than homogeneous groups. Topics include the concept of informational diversity, the impact of racial diversity on small decision-making groups, and how diversity promotes hard work, diligence, and creativity.

In the U.S., where the dialogue of inclusion is relatively advanced, even the mention of the word "diversity" can lead to anxiety and conflict. Supreme Court justices disagree on the virtues of diversity and the means for achieving it. Corporations spend billions of dollars to attract and manage diversity both internally and externally, yet they still face discrimination lawsuits, and the leadership ranks of the business world remain predominantly white and male. It is reasonable to ask what good diversity does us. Diversity of expertise confers benefits that are obvious -- you would not think of building a new car without engineers, designers and quality-control experts -- but what about social diversity? What good comes from diversity of race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation? Research has shown that social diversity in a group can cause discomfort, rougher interactions, a lack of trust, greater perceived interpersonal conflict, lower communication, less cohesion, more concern about disrespect, and other problems. So what is the upside? The fact is that if you want to build teams or organizations capable of innovating, you need diversity. Diversity enhances creativity. It encourages the search for novel information and perspectives, leading to better decision making and problem solving. Diversity can improve the bottom line of companies and lead to unfettered discoveries and breakthrough innova ...

Educational Advising AND Customer Service TD,AM 2009-10-02 11:30:00 AM - 12:30:00 AM Convention Center- 210 Exhaustion happens. The wear and tear of investing in students and the struggles of difficult interactions can culminate in silent resignation. Advisors are inclined to abandon principled protocols in favor of survival; even our advising veterans resort to prescriptive solutions and avoid expending energy in student guidance and constructive challenge. Considering student and parent expectations alongside advisor safety and sanity, our interactive discussion will deconstruct the typical advising session. We will explore the balance and tension between learning-centered advising and quality customer service en route to policies and practices that simultaneously achieve institutional goals and benefit students. Goal: free advisors for what they do best . Engaging with and investing in student success.

Discussion 1: There are a variety of ways that a cyber-attack can cause economic damage. In many cases, attackers try to “penetrate” systems in order to steal technology or other sensitive information. When do you think an attack can be classified as cyber terrorism? Provide an outside source that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA 7) Discussion 2: Define Recovery strategy. Discuss IT Recovery Strategy with an example. You need to cite at least ONE article in your initial post. (APA 7 Citation) Behavioral Sciences and the Law Behav. Sci. Law 23: 21–38 (2005) Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). DOI: 10.1002/bsl.623 Diversity in Context: How Organizational Culture Shapes Reactions to Workers with Disabilities and Others Who Are Demographically Different Sandra E. Spataro* Successfully integrating workers with disabilities into their organizations is both a challenge and an opportunity facing managers today. Despite laws and business practices pro- hibiting discrimination against those with disabilities, people with disabilities are consistently underutilized in organizations. This article applies theories of demo- graphic diversity in organizations to assert that a richer understanding of organizational cultures and their implications for workers with disabilities may shed light on the question of how and why workers with disabilities may be excluded from mainstream work experiences and career progression. The article briefly reviews business argu- ments that support integration of workers with disabilities into organizations based on their contribution to the overall diversity within the organization, and reviews compli- cations in the research on diversity to date that leave important questions of the potential gains or detriments from increasing this diversity unanswered. The article then goes on to introduce organizational culture as an underinvestigated but likely potent tool in explaining how and when workers who are demographically different, in general, and with disabilities, specifically, may be successfully integrated into an organization’s work force. The article introduces three types of organizational culture: culture of differentiation, culture of unity, and culture of integration. Each is explained in terms of its content and its implications for managing diversity. A discussion of the implications of culture as a primary tool for managing the integration of workers with disabilities concludes the paper. Copyright # 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Module 3 Conclusion Through this module’s online lectures and textbook readings, you analyzed how values and ethics are developed. You also evaluated the importance of accepting and managing diversity effectively. Here are the key points covered:The six value orientations—individualism or collectivism; preferred personality; view of human nature; human-nature relationship; power distance; long-term vs. short-term orientation—all influence how individuals and groups understand and respond to the world, which in turn, affects how they interact with others.In addition to being truthful, ethical communication involves deciding which information can and should be disclosed or withheld as well as assessing the benefits or harm associated with specific messages.Truthfulness plays a fundamental role in ethical communication due to two reasons, you expect messages to be truthful and messages have consequences. The ethical consequences of sharing or withholding information depend on whether it is likely to help people to make informed decisions or not. A message is considered legitimately private when other parties have no right to expect access to it. Finally, to be an effective communicator, you have to discern the benefits or harm associated with your messages.The process of determining ethical choices and decisions can be based on both individual perspective and communal perspective. When ethics are discussed in an organizational context, the rights of the individual, such as the right to free speech or privacy, assume importance. However, a communal approach focuses on the common good or the best interests of the entire community. The morality of an action is assessed based on its consequences for the group.The three barriers to accepting diversity include preconceptions or lack of knowledge, stereotyping, and prejudice. These internal barriers however, can be overcome by increasing motivation, increasing knowledge of self and others, and avoiding stereotypes.Diversity can enhance your interpersonal effectiveness by increasing your opportunities, enhancing your abilities at work, and improving your self-awareness. Diversity; Interpersonal Effectiveness Learning about and accepting diversity can improve your interpersonal effectiveness and increase your personal and professional opportunities. It also allows you to widen your circle of friends and acquaintances and may even open up new business opportunities by helping you work in or manage diverse work groups. Learning about diversity can increase your effectiveness at work. It can also help improve your ability to communicate with colleagues and customers or clients who differ from you. This may pave the way for organizational rewards and opportunities. In addition, accepting diversity and honing your skills in this area can enhance your self-awareness. Part of accepting and understanding diversity is the ability to understand and critique your own cultural beliefs and values. This understanding ...

Codependency The term “codependency” arose in the 1970s in reference to the changes one person makes to adjust to the addiction of another. For some, the term has broadened somewhat to include focusing on the needs of others to the exclusion of their own needs. However, controversy surrounds the term—some believe that codependency is nonexistent. Do you think codependency exists in the family members .

9 ©iStockphoto/Thinkstock Planning for Material and Resource Requirements Learning Objec�ves A�er comple�ng this chapter, you should be able to: Describe the rela�onships among forecas�ng, aggregate planning, master scheduling, MRP, and capacity planning. Show how a master schedule is developed from an aggregate plan. Use the method of overall factors to es�mate capacity requirements based on a master schedule. Explain the difference between independent and dependent demand, and indicate the type of demand for which MRP is appropriate. Use MRP to develop planned order releases for items at all levels of the bill of materials. Develop a load report and load profile based on MRP output, rou�ngs, and labor standards. Describe the characteris�cs of MRP II. The planning process begins with the crea�on of a compe��ve strategy, which is then converted into a business plan—a blueprint for implemen�ng the strategic plan. ©iStockphoto/Thinkstock 9.1 Role of Planning Planning is one of the most important, yet least understood, jobs that a manager performs. Poor planning can hinder a company's ability to handle unexpected occurrences. Good planning can place a company in an extremely strong compe��ve posi�on, one that prepares the organiza�on to deal with any event. All parts of the organiza�on—marke�ng, opera�ons, finance—must work together in the planning process to ensure that they are moving in harmony with one another. The start of the planning ac�vity is the development of a compe��ve strategy. In today's extremely compe��ve global marketplace, organiza�ons cannot afford to go forward without a well-planned strategy, which includes the opera�ons func�on as well as every other part of the organiza�on. The strategy is then converted into a business plan—a blueprint for implemen�ng the strategic plan. Based on a forecast and the business plan, each part of an organiza�on must then develop its own plans that describe how the various parts will work to implement the business and strategic plans. Forecasts of demand and other important business factors, such as costs, are vital if an organiza�on wants to create an effec�ve plan. This series of planning stages is shown in Figure 9.1. Figure 9.1: Opera�ons planning ac�vi�es As part of this overall planning effort, firms develop opera�onal plans that extrapolate across different �me periods. Long-range opera�ons planning addresses facili�es and resources including the number of facili�es to build, the loca�on(s), the capacity, and the type of process technologies. Long-range planning is o�en considered to be five years, but could be longer or shorter depending on the industry, For example, if an industry such as electric .
