The Psychology of Successful Business Communications in Geographically Isolat...Healthcare consultant
It is our belief that teams and individuals are most effective when they are presented with a range of communications options and clear information on which will be most effective at any given time. Knowing the communications preferences of your team members, and being able to see their status or ‘presence’ in advance of making contact can have a significant positive impact on the effectiveness of team working and knowledge sharing. Simple and instant access to a range of rich communications options that brings together text, voice and video allows individuals and groups to benefit from much of the additional information that co-located teams take for granted – without the hassle-factor of booking specialist facilities.
The Use Of Communication Technology For Organizational CommunicationD.J.Mann
The document discusses communication in organizations and how it is fundamental to their success. It covers different types of communication networks like chain, wheel, star and all channel patterns that describe how information flows. It also addresses how technology aids organizational communication through email, video conferencing, and intranets.

The chapter aims to help managers understand and improve their communication skills.
The document proposes creating an internal employee network at Starbucks to improve communication and lower costs. It discusses Starbucks' principles of diversity and customer service. Currently, communication is outdated and inefficient. The proposed network would incorporate systems theory and cultural approaches to create strong connections within the company. This would increase information flow, productivity, and loyalty while reducing communication expenses.

The document discusses the concept of revolution. It states that as individual and social development progresses, concepts like "god", "freedom", and "revolution" change meanings. It describes how pursuits and struggles in life can revolve around survival, procreation, establishing power and control, or defending one's self, culture, or religion. Methods of revolution include warfare, public education, non-cooperation, and other forms of protest. Ultimately, the world seems to be moving toward greater global unity, international cooperation, and an increasing orientation toward cosmic consciousness.

Act six principles digital marketing reg rep 7 18Belbey
This document outlines six principles for social media success in financial services based on case studies, trends, and regulatory requirements. It discusses the state of social media adoption in financial services and how firms can develop a social media strategy. The six principles are: having a clear social media strategy, developing personal brands for employees, providing relevant content to audiences, listening to customers and monitoring conversations, responding to customers in a timely manner, and ensuring compliance with all regulations. The document provides examples from companies like Baird and Movenbank to illustrate how these principles can be applied.
The document discusses corporate sustainability communication (CSC) in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It analyzes the CSC of a German watermill company through interviews and observation. The study finds that SMEs primarily use informal, face-to-face communication for CSC, like discussions and open days, rather than formal reports. Informal tools are effective locally due to trust, while more formal methods are needed at a distance. Overall, SMEs do not require the formal CSC strategies of large firms.

New Mexico State University (NMSU) Employee Council in collaboration with NMSU Cooperative Extension Service is administering a survey to NMSU employees to determine the need for personal financial wellness education for NMSU employees and its ideal format. We expect NMSU to have high needs for employee financial education because New Mexico arguably has the worst personal finance education requirements for high school graduation. Available in Spanish, paper, and online versions, the survey is administered from September 19 to October 31, 2012. Based on results of 151 responses, 64% respondents considered themselves knowledgeable in personal finance topics, but 86% of them stated that they would benefit from learning more about personal finance. Areas of interests include traditional retirement plan (73%), alternative retirement plan (75%), estate planning (92%), retirement planning (91%), investment (88%), and increasing income (88%). About half of respondents (n=75) put down their e-mail address in willingness to participate in further surveys for workshop planning with eight of them reported of having expertise to present at least a personal finance topic. The survey indicates a high need for a personal finance education for NMSU employees and opportunities to get NMSU employees involved its program planning.
This document summarizes a research study investigating factors that influence the intention to use social media within virtual project teams. The study used a modified UTAUT model to survey 84 virtual team members. Key findings include: 1) Performance expectancy was the strongest predictor of intention; 2) Social influence, effort expectancy, and team trust were also significant predictors; 3) The model explained 52.7% of the variance in intention; 4) Intention did not vary by age, experience, gender or industry. Recommendations focus on ensuring social media aids productivity and overcoming trust issues for virtual teams.
This document discusses a study on the corporate use of social media and its associated risks. It provides an executive summary of the study's key findings from an online survey of 141 executives and 12 in-depth interviews. The study found that nearly half of respondents see social media as important for corporate marketing. Over half see corporate social media use increasing and three-quarters have no clear social media policy. Most companies also lack plans for dealing with social media incidents. The interviews revealed that social media's growth surprised executives and more funds are allocated to security but not necessarily for social media risks. Few companies have policies specifically for social media governance and risks.
UNC Charlotte 2013 Quality Enhancement Plan Campaign ProjectKia the Writer
The student crafted a PR campaign to promote awareness of the university's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) among students, faculty, staff, and the local community. The campaign utilized social media, interactive events, and interpersonal communication to expose students to QEP messages. It identified key audiences, conducted research, established goals and objectives, and designed PR tactics and materials to spread awareness of the QEP around campus by March 2013.
The document discusses how social media can be used effectively for recruiting. It defines social media, provides dos and don'ts for an effective strategy, examines whether social media works for recruiting, discusses potential risks and how to define success, and provides recommendations on tools and best practices. The key takeaways are that social media allows two-way engagement, objectives should be identified and measured, and community management is important for success.

This document outlines a strategic communication plan for Northwest Valley Community College. The plan aims to increase student enrollment, provide quality education, and enhance awareness among employees. It identifies key target audiences, strategies, and metrics to measure the plan's effectiveness. The plan establishes common communication mediums and calls for presenting the plan to leadership to inform them and gain support for its implementation.
The document is a study on social media governance in 2011 that surveyed 596 communications professionals in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The key findings from the study include:
1) Social media is increasing the workload of PR professionals, with over 60% feeling increased daily pressure and 30% feeling they cannot accomplish the extra work required.
2) While communications professionals use social media more than the general public, only 22.8% consider their expertise to be high, indicating a need for more training.
3) 71.3% of organizations are now actively using social media, up from 54.3% in 2010, but below original expectations, as 28.7% are still not active.

Using data from Google Analytics, we looked into factors that are associated with page views among eXtension’s personal finance pages (www.extension.org/personal_finance). Specifically, we utilized Google Analytics data from April 2009 and available Page Analytics numbers (http://pageanalytics.extension.org/ and http://data.extension.org/) produced by eXtension data engineers in the personal finance or Financial Security for All (FSA) Community of Practice (CoP) areas. Top pages with the highest page views per month were selected to look for similar characteristics among these webpages. At the macro level, we will be exploring relevant statistics to our CoP such as search engine utilized, top search keywords, traffic sources, traffic referral, and mobile device access. We also looked into the tendency of page hits associated with the following factors: topic (tag) , average Google search entrances per week, and age of the article. Preliminary log-level regression results show that pages with high numbers of hits tend to have more tags, not a summary of academic research, and be related to managing money in tough times. We shared result implications and limitations based on the results of this study. Besides advanced researches, personal finance academicians need to write on simple and applicable topics, as evident from top search hits (birth certificate, FICA tax, and SMART goals) and less tendencies of research summary articles to get hit. The federal Financial Literacy and Education Commission (FLEC) core competencies provide targeted knowledge and action/behavior changes, which in themselves are guidelines for writing topics. Despite being a non-profit organization, eXtension can still take advantage of pro-business properties by having course enrollment and savings as conversion goals.
The survey gathered responses from 724 individuals on important topics in personal finance. The top three most important topics for adults according to respondents were saving for retirement, paying off debt, and budgeting/tracking expenses. Regional differences emerged, with those in the Western US rating themselves more knowledgeable and reporting greater use of adult education and college courses. The survey provided a valuable dataset on information needs to help design effective personal finance programs.
