Unit VIII
Unit 8 Introduction--Your
Final Week!!
Unit 8 Learning Objectives and Leaving With A
Competitive Advantage
Congrats!
You’ve made it! Well done! I applaud
everyone of you for your effort and
determination. You met the challenges of
this course, and are ready to move forward
to the next course, graduation, next
academic level or your next set of goals
that you set for yourself. Before you leave
I want to remind you about being
competitive.
You always want to seek a Competitive
Advantage. Look at the picture. What
does it communicate?
Ask yourself this: “Am I the figure in gold
or gray?” If you’re gold…what did it take
to get there? If you’re gray, why are you
there? Competitive advantage is doing
things better than the other person. Think
about athletes, how do they get better?
Well, they train harder, they lift weights,
do plyometrics, yoga, strength training,
and more. Think about how you can gain
a competitive advantage in your job, and
what it takes to be out in front.
Having been a CEO I can tell you this the
people that were promoted, advanced with
responsibility, received awards, and pay
increases contributed more to the
organization. They didn’t complain or
look for handouts. They developed more
skill sets then others, and they
volunteered. Bosses love it when you
volunteer for extra work and projects.
Yes, trust me. Those I promoted gave
more to the organization than others, and
they left their competition in the dust.
Good luck in your future classes, it was a
pleasure having you in class.
Dr Anderson
This final week you want to reflect on
your previous 7 weeks of material.
What are your takeaways?
What was the biggest influence to you
over the course?

Financial management plays a very important role in the overall management of a business. The primary role of financial management is to plan for, acquire, and utilize funds to maximize the efficiency and value of the organization. An organization's financial management goal must be consistent with and support the overall goals of the business. In healthcare, some of the financial management goals you would see in an organization are: (1) generate a reasonable net income and investing in assets, (2) respond to the multitude of regulations in a timely and cost effective manner, (3) facilitate the organization's relationship with third party payers who account for a high percentage of a healthcare organization's revenue, (4) influence the method and amount of payment third party payers choose, (5) monitor internal spending through physicians and their potential financial liability to the organization, and (6) protect the organization's tax status. All of these goals and objectives target a healthcare organization's specific functions to help the business operate efficiently and effectively.

The financial management goals you would see in an Assisted Living facility are endless. There are so many large corporations and individual facilities that are all getting involved with senior care within the past few years. The first step is to target an area where you think there is a great need for an assisted living facility. Once you know that you can fill the rooms/beds in that area you need to start setting goals of when the facility will open, what your staffing model will look like, how many directors you need, etc. These are all goals that need to be met so that you can start getting people in the door and make a profit. Most assisted living facilities do not see a profit for a few years so it is also important to set a goal of a time frame of when you should see a profit. AL facilities also need to make it a goal to set prices for the residents and evaluate them every year to see if surrounding facilities are charging a significant amount more or less so they can continue to have residents and make a profit.

One debate that is current in North Carolina is about hog farmers, many people have been complaining about shutting down Hog farming and believing there has been act of animal cruelty through it. hog farmers have been protecting their lands for decades and these new comers have come to live in a state that is known for agriculture. What I want to know if these people believe shutting down hardworking family farms that have been passed down from generation really believe shutting down will fix the problem they believe is happening? Why wouldn’t these newcomers move to a different location and allow these families who have been around for many decades? Many people have stated that people ha.
The passage discusses some difficulties with Kant's moral philosophy regarding dealing with evil. Specifically, Kant's theory suggests our moral obligations leave us helpless when confronting evil, as it sets an ideal standard of conduct we must uphold regardless of others' actions. This is problematic, as in situations like witnessing a family member's murder, most people would not remain passive but would take action in response to the evil act, rather than prioritizing upholding an absolute moral duty. The passage seeks to further analyze this aspect of Kant's philosophy.
The document discusses how to create a term paper request on the website HelpWriting.net by completing a registration, order form, and review of writer bids before receiving and revising the completed paper if needed. The process aims to match students with qualified writers who will provide original content that can be revised until the customer is satisfied.

The document provides an overview of neural tissue and the nervous system. It discusses the anatomical and functional divisions of the nervous system and describes the typical structure of a neuron. It also covers the locations and functions of neuroglia, the resting potential, generation and propagation of action potentials, and factors that affect speed of propagation. Additionally, it defines sensory neurons, their structures and functions, and the three types of sensory receptors.
Here are the key points I gathered from the prompt:
- The four stages of action research are planning, acting, developing, and reflecting. These stages provide a framework to plan an appropriate action research project.
- Action research is a type of research done by teachers for themselves, as characterized by Mertler. It allows educators to study their own classrooms and address specific problems or areas of interest.
- By learning the stages of action research, teachers can design a project to investigate an issue or question relevant to their own teaching context and students. This makes action research practical for classroom teachers as it focuses on improving one's own practice through systematic inquiry.
- Some potential benefits of action research include gaining insights on teaching
Real World Negotiation Assignment Your task is to go out there (.docxdanas19
Real World Negotiation Assignment
Your task is to go out there (bravely) into the dreaded “real world,” negotiate for something, and then write a paper about it. You can choose or create an opportunity to negotiate something for which you might normally not negotiate or for which you did not intend to negotiate at this point in time. Completed negotiations from the recent or distant past are not eligible.
A wide variety of contexts and potential transactions are fair game, including but not limited to retail consumer encounters, landlord-tenant interactions, personal or family conflict situations, disputes with teachers, fellow students, law enforcement officials, university administrators, etc. A job negotiation is okay if it is going to start and conclude between the beginning of the semester and the due date for this assignment.
The key requirement is that the situation is real with actual costs and outcomes turning on the encounter (although the magnitude of costs and benefits can be relatively small).
Your essay about the experience should, at a minimum, address (also, see rubric chart below): • How you prepared for the negotiation;
• What happened (but don’t let narrative detail crowd out analysis);
•• What the outcome was and whose interests were served;
• Why things turned out as they did – what would you do differently; • Quantify what you gained by negotiating.
***The last paragraph should identify and explain how much value you claimed/created by negotiating as opposed to if you had not negotiated and claimed your BATNA. (This point will be moot if you did not come to a negotiated agreement and did claim your BATNA. That is OKAY and will not reflect poorly on your grade!).
Include in your essay a critique of your own performance in the encounter: What could you have done differently to produce a better outcome? In reading and evaluating these papers, I will emphasize analysis over narrative. Tell me what happened, yes, but probe the reasons why the encounter went as it did using ideas and concepts about the structure and process of negotiation from the course. Think about the type of negotiation you are discussing and how it differs from other situations considered in this course and elsewhere. Don’t just say what tactics were used; say why and analyze their appropriateness. I will also look for evidence that you prepared for your “adversary” deliberately and thoughtfully. You will be graded not on the outcome of the negotiation itself, but on the quality of your analytical insight (using concepts developed in the course) into the process that occurred.
Details:
• The paper should be 4-5 double-spaced pages.
• Paper must be formatted with 1” margins all around and Times New Roman 12-point font. Papers not adhering to this format will lose a letter grade. Papers will be graded based on analyses as well as on grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
• Submit papers via Canvas. You must submit the assignment as an attached file..
The document provides steps to request writing help from HelpWriting.net:
1. Create an account with a password and email.
2. Complete a 10-minute order form providing instructions, sources, and deadline.
3. Review bids from writers and choose one based on qualifications and reviews.
4. Review the paper and authorize payment or request revisions until satisfied.

Final Notes, Thoughts, and Links from 1.29 Civics Conversation (Amanda Cowgill)
Types of nonprofits:
There are many types of nonprofits. As I discussed, some are specific to providing direct services like feeding people experiencing homelessness; however, there are also organizations devoted just to fundraising for certain causes (e.g., Wounded Warrior Project, Susan G. Komen Foundation), to provide capacity building services to other nonprofits (e.g., many state-level organizations), and to advocate for others (e.g., lobbying organizations like the National Organization of Women). If you’re unsure about what an organization has to offer, just call them and ask! Many people who work in nonprofits are there to help any and all people, including those of you who want to volunteer.
Resources for volunteering:
- Volunteermatch.org: great collection of national, state, local, and virtual opportunities; also provides a list of nonprofits by subject area (anti-hunger, animal welfare, tutoring, etc.)
- Idealist.org: great collection of international, national, state, and local opportunities; also lists internships and jobs available with nonprofits.
- Hungervolunteer.org: national database on volunteer opportunities with anti-hunger organizations.
- Volunteer.dc.gov: resources and information on local volunteer opportunities (although not updated regularly. Best to check VolunteerMatch or Idealist first)
- Breadforthecity.org/volunteer/ : volunteer positions with Bread for the City. The organization does much more than just anti-hunger stuff including job readiness programs, resume writing, clothing assistance, and much more.
- Volunteer.capitalareafoodbank.org: also offers various volunteer opportunities including nutrition education, community gardening, and benefits outreach.
- Dccfh.org (DC Coalition for the Homeless): they don’t list any volunteer opportunities on their website but just reach out to them to see if they are in need of assistance.
- Humanerescuealliance.org/volunteer : DC’s animal humane shelters recently united to become the Humane Rescue Alliance of DC. They are often looking for volu ...
Lesson 12: Introductions And Conclusionsbsimoneaux
This document provides guidance on writing introductions and conclusions for essays. It discusses common methods for developing introductions, including providing definitions, comparisons/contrasts, and briefly defining major issues. Developing introductions in these ways can help achieve the general goals of capturing the audience's attention, giving background on the topic, developing interest, and guiding the reader to the thesis statement.
Introduction to Service-Learning and Civic EngagementAs we begin.docxmariuse18nolet
Introduction to Service-Learning and Civic Engagement
As we begin this journey together over the next eight weeks, it is imperative to understand the key concepts incorporated within the course, as well as the overall purpose of taking the course. As President John F. Kennedy has been quoted, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”
Service-learning versus volunteering: Aren’t they one and the same? The correct answer is “no” as there are differences. Volunteering allows for activities which place the emphasis on the recipient. (Providing meals at the local homeless shelter places the emphasis on the recipient being fed for that particular meal.) Service-learning activities differ from volunteering in the INTENT involved. This intent with service-learning utilizes intellectual capacities which in turn address problems within the community. (There is a growing number of homeless individuals in the community – what activities can be performed to address this problem?)
Following this example, we can see that service learning allows us to become an educated community member and problem-solver through serving and collaboratively reflecting on the meaning and purpose of the activities put into that service. The entire purpose of service-learning is therefore learning to grow in skills and knowledge because these assets are being brought to real-world problems.
As we evaluate these skills, we need to have the understanding of civic capacity. This is knowing how to APPLY our knowledge and skills to the community challenges we are analyzing. This capacity is developed when we are able to look deeper at the connection between academic knowledge and experience.
Putting each of these concepts together, service-learning, therefore impacts our community positively in order to address societal and political challenges, and generate the positive changes necessary for both individuals and within the system we are looking to change.Preview of Your Final Project
Over the next few weeks we will be learning about service learning and investigating a community organization. You will begin to put this information together to evaluate the role of the community organization that you have chosen. You will support your ideas with the literature resources that you have found.
You have three options in how you can present your final project:
As a Paper
Your paper should be creative and interesting, and demonstrate what you have learned. It should be a minimum of 5-7 pages in length and you will use APA style formatting with a title page and reference section. You should use Times New Roman, 12pt. font, double-space your lines, and set your page up with one inch margins (See the APA Template included in the Course Resources folder)
As a Presentation
Like the paper option, your presentation should be creative, interesting, and demonstrate what you have learned throughout the project. Your presentation should be 8 to 10 .
This document provides guidance on developing an effective mission statement for a nonprofit organization. It explains that a mission statement should include three key elements: a purpose statement that clearly outlines what the organization seeks to accomplish and the problem it aims to address, a business statement that describes the activities or programs the organization will undertake to achieve its purpose, and a description of the core values that will guide the organization's work. The document provides examples of effective purpose and business statements and defines what should be included in each. It emphasizes that a mission statement should focus on outcomes and results rather than methods or activities.

Case Study The Corning Journey to Performance Excellence Part 1 a.docxdrennanmicah
Case Study: The Corning Journey to Performance Excellence Part 1 and 2.
This week we have learned that performance excellence, sometimes referred to as business excellence, refers to increasing the consumer’s perception of value and a focused responsibility on the part of organizational members to quickly identify and correct problems. Operational/Performance excellence includes a series of intangible assets that will allow companies to continuously improve in areas of performance and quality that create a competitive advantage for organizations. This supports the theory that while the consumer may play a part in identifying quality issues, the organizational stakeholder has a responsibility for quality and is an important factor in performance and operational excellence. This is also aligned with the concept that all stakeholders share in the benefits of business and performance excellence.
This case study is an examination of the renewal of quality at Corning in the decade since 2002. It is a story of quality, innovation, operating excellence, and renewal, but above all, it is a story of leadership. The great companies overcome the obstacles, and the poor companies fall by the wayside.
Review the Case Study: The Corning Journey to Performance Excellence Part 1 and 2. (http://asq.org/knowledge-center/case-studies-corning.html)
Through research from sources provided in the course and from academic and scholarly resources outside of the course, evaluate and discuss the following elements:
1. Discuss the impact of leadership on improving and increasing the quality and performance excellence at Corning.
2. What elements of the Corning case study do you feel could be applied in your current or a former organization where you are or have been a member?
3. Discuss how Corning’s strategies meet the standards of continual improvement for performance excellence (Evans, 2017, pg. 33).

The passage discusses the elements of horror in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. It notes that horror comes from various sources such as how the story is approached, told, or shown. More than any other aspect, the passage suggests that what inspires fear most is the way a story portrays characters or events that are outside of what is seen as natural or normal by society. It will go on to provide examples from Dracula of how Stoker creates an atmosphere of horror through disturbing or unnatural characters and events.

E.
Getting involved in foreign wars is not a good idea. The US has been involved in many foreign wars lately. These wars have been in foreign countries where Islam is the prominent religion.

Gaddafi’s actions against the civilians of Libya are totally wrong. Killing your own people is bad and therefore, we should help the rebels overthrow him.

Final Notes, Thoughts, and Links from 1.29 Civics Conversation (Amanda Cowgill)
Types of nonprofits:
There are many types of nonprofits. As I discussed, some are specific to providing direct services like feeding people experiencing homelessness; however, there are also organizations devoted just to fundraising for certain causes (e.g., Wounded Warrior Project, Susan G. Komen Foundation), to provide capacity building services to other nonprofits (e.g., many state-level organizations), and to advocate for others (e.g., lobbying organizations like the National Organization of Women). If you’re unsure about what an organization has to offer, just call them and ask! Many people who work in nonprofits are there to help any and all people, including those of you who want to volunteer.
Resources for volunteering:
- Volunteermatch.org: great collection of national, state, local, and virtual opportunities; also provides a list of nonprofits by subject area (anti-hunger, animal welfare, tutoring, etc.)
- Idealist.org: great collection of international, national, state, and local opportunities; also lists internships and jobs available with nonprofits.
- Hungervolunteer.org: national database on volunteer opportunities with anti-hunger organizations.
- Volunteer.dc.gov: resources and information on local volunteer opportunities (although not updated regularly. Best to check VolunteerMatch or Idealist first)
- Breadforthecity.org/volunteer/ : volunteer positions with Bread for the City. The organization does much more than just anti-hunger stuff including job readiness programs, resume writing, clothing assistance, and much more.
- Volunteer.capitalareafoodbank.org: also offers various volunteer opportunities including nutrition education, community gardening, and benefits outreach.
- Dccfh.org (DC Coalition for the Homeless): they don’t list any volunteer opportunities on their website but just reach out to them to see if they are in need of assistance.
- Humanerescuealliance.org/volunteer : DC’s animal humane shelters recently united to become the Humane Rescue Alliance of DC. They are often looking for volu ...

Introduction to Service-Learning and Civic EngagementAs we begin.docxmariuse18nolet
Introduction to Service-Learning and Civic Engagement
As we begin this journey together over the next eight weeks, it is imperative to understand the key concepts incorporated within the course, as well as the overall purpose of taking the course. As President John F. Kennedy has been quoted, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”
Service-learning versus volunteering: Aren’t they one and the same? The correct answer is “no” as there are differences. Volunteering allows for activities which place the emphasis on the recipient. (Providing meals at the local homeless shelter places the emphasis on the recipient being fed for that particular meal.) Service-learning activities differ from volunteering in the INTENT involved. This intent with service-learning utilizes intellectual capacities which in turn address problems within the community. (There is a growing number of homeless individuals in the community – what activities can be performed to address this problem?)
Following this example, we can see that service learning allows us to become an educated community member and problem-solver through serving and collaboratively reflecting on the meaning and purpose of the activities put into that service. The entire purpose of service-learning is therefore learning to grow in skills and knowledge because these assets are being brought to real-world problems.
As we evaluate these skills, we need to have the understanding of civic capacity. This is knowing how to APPLY our knowledge and skills to the community challenges we are analyzing. This capacity is developed when we are able to look deeper at the connection between academic knowledge and experience.
Putting each of these concepts together, service-learning, therefore impacts our community positively in order to address societal and political challenges, and generate the positive changes necessary for both individuals and within the system we are looking to change.Preview of Your Final Project
Over the next few weeks we will be learning about service learning and investigating a community organization. You will begin to put this information together to evaluate the role of the community organization that you have chosen. You will support your ideas with the literature resources that you have found.
You have three options in how you can present your final project:
As a Paper
Your paper should be creative and interesting, and demonstrate what you have learned. It should be a minimum of 5-7 pages in length and you will use APA style formatting with a title page and reference section. You should use Times New Roman, 12pt. font, double-space your lines, and set your page up with one inch margins (See the APA Template included in the Course Resources folder)
As a Presentation
Like the paper option, your presentation should be creative, interesting, and demonstrate what you have learned throughout the project. Your presentation should be 8 to 10 .
This document provides guidance on developing an effective mission statement for a nonprofit organization. It explains that a mission statement should include three key elements: a purpose statement that clearly outlines what the organization seeks to accomplish and the problem it aims to address, a business statement that describes the activities or programs the organization will undertake to achieve its purpose, and a description of the core values that will guide the organization's work. The document provides examples of effective purpose and business statements and defines what should be included in each. It emphasizes that a mission statement should focus on outcomes and results rather than methods or activities.

Case Study The Corning Journey to Performance Excellence Part 1 a.docxdrennanmicah
Case Study: The Corning Journey to Performance Excellence Part 1 and 2.
This week we have learned that performance excellence, sometimes referred to as business excellence, refers to increasing the consumer’s perception of value and a focused responsibility on the part of organizational members to quickly identify and correct problems. Operational/Performance excellence includes a series of intangible assets that will allow companies to continuously improve in areas of performance and quality that create a competitive advantage for organizations. This supports the theory that while the consumer may play a part in identifying quality issues, the organizational stakeholder has a responsibility for quality and is an important factor in performance and operational excellence. This is also aligned with the concept that all stakeholders share in the benefits of business and performance excellence.
This case study is an examination of the renewal of quality at Corning in the decade since 2002. It is a story of quality, innovation, operating excellence, and renewal, but above all, it is a story of leadership. The great companies overcome the obstacles, and the poor companies fall by the wayside.
Review the Case Study: The Corning Journey to Performance Excellence Part 1 and 2. (http://asq.org/knowledge-center/case-studies-corning.html)
Through research from sources provided in the course and from academic and scholarly resources outside of the course, evaluate and discuss the following elements:
1. Discuss the impact of leadership on improving and increasing the quality and performance excellence at Corning.
2. What elements of the Corning case study do you feel could be applied in your current or a former organization where you are or have been a member?
3. Discuss how Corning’s strategies meet the standards of continual improvement for performance excellence (Evans, 2017, pg. 33).

Unit VIII
Unit 8 Introduction--Your
Final Week!!
Unit 8 Learning Objectives and Leaving With A
Competitive Advantage
Congrats!
You’ve made it! Well done! I applaud
everyone of you for your effort and
determination. You met the challenges of
this course, and are ready to move forward
to the next course, graduation, next
academic level or your next set of goals
that you set for yourself. Before you leave
I want to remind you about being
competitive.
You always want to seek a Competitive
Advantage. Look at the picture. What
does it communicate?
Ask yourself this: “Am I the figure in gold
2. or gray?” If you’re gold…what did it take
to get there? If you’re gray, why are you
there? Competitive advantage is doing
things better than the other person. Think
about athletes, how do they get better?
Well, they train harder, they lift weights,
do plyometrics, yoga, strength training,
and more. Think about how you can gain
a competitive advantage in your job, and
what it takes to be out in front.
Having been a CEO I can tell you this the
people that were promoted, advanced with
responsibility, received awards, and pay
increases contributed more to the
organization. They didn’t complain or
look for handouts. They developed more
skill sets then others, and they
volunteered. Bosses love it when you
volunteer for extra work and projects.
Yes, trust me. Those I promoted gave
more to the organization than others, and
they left their competition in the dust.
Good luck in your future classes, it was a
pleasure having you in class.
Dr Anderson
This final week you want to reflect on
your previous 7 weeks of material.

The poor people of America will demand decent jobs
and incorhe in massive demonstrations in our nation's
capital, Washington, D.C., this spring.
11. The Poor People's Campaign, starting in April, is being
organized by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) with the support
and participation of many local groups and individuals.
WHO WILL BE IN THE POOR PEOPLE'S CAMPAIGN?
At the start, several thousand poor people will go to
Washington. We will be young and
old, jobless fathers, welfare mothers, farmers and laborers . We
are Negroes, American
Indians, Puerto Ricans, Mexican-Americans, poor white people.
WHERE DO THESE POOR PEOPLE LIVE?
All across the nation. SCLC is recruiting poor people in I 0 big
cities and five South-
ern states. Poor people in all other communities and cities are
also invited to join the
Campaign.
DO YOU HAVE TO BE POOR TO BE IN THIS CAMPAIGN?
No . Most persons at the start of the Campaign in Washington
will be poor, but other
people from all walks of life must he prepared to take their
place in the lines of this
campaign.
WHY ARE WE GOJN(; TO WASHINGTON?
Wa shington is the center of government power , and the
national government has the money
and resources to end poverty and fight rae ism. But that
government has failed to do this .
Therefore the Poor People's Campaign wil l dem a nd
government reforms .
WHAT WILL THE POOR PEOP/,E'S CAMPAIGN DO IN
12. WASHINGTON?
We will build powerful nonviolent demonstrations on the issues
of jobs, income,
welfare, health, housing, education , human rights. These
massive demonstrations will
be aimed at government centers of power, and th ey will be
expanded if necessary. We
must make the government face up to the fact of poverty and
racism. In order to carry
out our demonstrations , we will not reveal to the government in
advance exactly what we
plan to do and where we will demo nstrate.
WHAT Jfi/LL Jf!E DEMAND?
We will present to the government a li st of ddinite demand s
involving jobs, income, and
a decent life for all poor people so that they will co ntrol their
own destiny. This will
cost billions of dollars , but the richest nat ion of all time can
afford to spend this money
if America is to avoid soc ial di saster..
WHAT IF THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOTHING?
We will stay until the government responds, building up the
pressure for action by calling
for thousands upon thousands of people, rich and poor, to come
to Washington or stand
up and be counted in demonstrat ions in-; their hom e com
munities.

POOR 'PEOPLE
111 AMERICA
Who are the poor?
The poorest Americans are 35 ~illion per-
sons who do not have enough money for a
decent life. The. government says they fall "
below the "poverty line," earning less than
$3,130 a year for a family of four, or
$1,540 for an individual.
Why are people poor?
Poor people are kept in poverty because
they are kept from power. We must create
"Poor People's Power."
What happens to poor people'?
Poor people do not get decent jobs, decent
incomes, decent housing, decent schools,
decent health care. decent government,
decent police. Poor people do not even get
respect as human beings.
What do poor people do'?
Most poor American adults work hard every
day but are not paid enough for a decent
life for their families. Unemployment is a
severe problem. especially among men, and
15. the unemployment rate in many places, es-
pecially most big cities. is so high that there
is a Great Depression . Seven million people
are on welfare (mostly children, old people,
the sick, and mothers unable to work). Less
than I per cent of these people are able to
work - if they get proper training.
Rich people and poor pepole.
There is great contrast in the lives of rich
and poor people in America. For example,
a U.S. Congressman is paid nearly $600 a
week, but a Southern sharecropper's family
sometimes earns less than $600 a year. A
maid in a big Northern ci ty may earn $50
a week, while her rich boss may get $50 an
hour.
Can America end poverty'?
Yes. Many nations that are poorer than rich
America provide decent incomes and serv-
ices for all poor people. America spends 10
times as much money on military power as
it does on welfare. The government sub-
subsidizes big companies and farms, and
gives tax favors to rich people, but punishes
the poor. America spends more money in
one month to kill in Vietnam than it spends
in a year for the so-called "war on poverty."
THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!
,
"POOR PEOPLES LIVES ARE DISRUPTED AND
DISLOCATED
EVERYDAY. WE WANT TO PUT A STOP TO THIS.
POVERTY,
16. RACISM AND DISCRily!INATION CAUSE FAMILIES TO BE
KEPT APART, MEN TO BECOME DESPERATE, WOMEN TO
LIVE IN FEAR, AND CHILDREN TO STARVE." Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr.,
HOW YOIJ CAII JOIN
THE POOR PEOPLE'S
CAMPAIGII
You or your local group are welcome to
join the massive Poor People's Campaign.
All Americans concerned about poverty can
participate - rich and poor, black and
white, young and old.
The campaign action starts in April, in
Washington, D.C. A definite date will be
announced soon.
But much wmj< must be done NOW to
prepare for this campaign.
If you want to work directly, you can
help organize for the Campaign in your
community.
If you want to go to W~shington, you
can begin to prepare yourself and others for
this effort.
If you can not work actively, you can
still be in the Poor People's Campaign by
contributing financial aid or services. Our
resources are very limited, and we need all
possible help in printed materials, supplies,
17. offic~· space, transportation and many other
expenses .

Unit Lesson
In this unit, we will discuss how alliances are formed to allow
different individuals and companies to merge to
reach greater results. Through this effort, there is a growth in
alliances where organizations are depending on
other companies to offer complementary skills that will benefit
19. both parties in obtaining particular established
goals. While achieving this type of synergy, the two companies
must create an inter-organizational alliance
team. However, with combined efforts and a positive mindset, it
is still inevitable that problems will arise at
some point (Dyer, Dyer, & Dyer, 2013).
Research indicates that possible alliance failure could result
from the following:
However, one of the most common reasons for failure is
because of the leader’s inability to manage the
alliance team effectively (Dyer et al., 2013).
An alliance team offers many benefits to a company. Yet, it is
different from an internal team in several ways.
Some common differences include the following: (a) cultural
clashes, (b) a lack of trust, (c) a lack of control
over decision-making, and (d) team expertise duplication. A due
diligence team is needed to evaluate the
other partner’s assets, resources, processes, and organizational
culture (Dyer et al., 2013).
“During the cultural assessment, the team examines the
potential partner’s corporate values and
expectations” (Dyer et al, 2013, p. 252). It also explores its
organizational structure, reward systems and
20. incentives, leadership styles and decision-making processes,
human interaction patterns, work practices,
history of partnerships, and human resource management
practices. Ultimately, it is easier to identify potential
areas of conflict if leaders and members understand the
potential differences in corporate values,
organizational structure, decision-making and leadership styles,
and practiced reward systems. For example,
even though colleges around the world are thought to offer
education at its finest with the same goals in mind,
they are all very different in the way they approach certain
aspects of their mission (Dyer et al., 2013).
UNIT VIII STUDY GUIDE
Managing Inter-Organizational Alliance
Teams More Effectively for the Future
BSL 4060, Team Building and Leadership 2
UNIT x STUDY GUIDE
Title
It has been proven that team members will work better together
if they clearly recognize what factors might
throw the team off track. Often, strategic futures exercises are
performed to ensure that the team understands
exactly what objectives are key goals for the team. Common key
barriers to teams reaching their goals are
21. usually found in technological and regulatory challenges,
marketing and distribution challenges, or
relationship indifferences (Dyer et al., 2013).
When communicating, the team must decide which form of
exchange will be utilized. For instance, some
members may opt to email while others may prefer voice mail,
videoconferencing, electronic data exchange,
or a type of meeting (either face-to-face or through an online
method). Basically, alliance teams are becoming
an important part of the business landscape, and organizations
will have a distinct advantage in the
workplace if they learn how to manage teams effectively (Dyer
et al., 2013).
All teams will face challenges. Yet, it is important that leaders
understand what key factors must be
considered when building a team that is expected to excel in
today’s competitive market. For instance,
leaders must identify what tasks are to be completed and by
whom. They must emphasize team membership
for accomplishing organizational goals. Also, they must
encourage positive relationships throughout the
working of teams. Members must be trained and competent in
their work performances. They must also be
rewarded for the completion of their tasks and a job well done.
Team-building activities should be
incorporated regularly. In addition, an ample amount of
resources, support, and evaluations should also be
provided.
Research indicates that educators must be trained in team
learning and development, and they should allow
students to develop team skills and have a positive attitude
through team experiences. Families and
educators should prepare future generations to work effectively
22. in teams. Basically, the key aspects for
building effective virtual and alliance teams is found in
building trust, promoting effective means of
communication, enhancing problem-solving techniques, and
finding incentives that will motivate team
members to work more productively and efficiently together.
