Workplace Engagement, Generational Considerations, and Cultural Differences.html
Throughout the course, we have been focusing on business trends. This week, we will consider workplace engagement and commitment, generational differences, and cultural differences.
There is a great amount of research presenting evidence that engaged employees are happy, and happy employees feel more committed to the organization, which leads to reduced stress, tension, and conflict. If employees are unhappy or not engaged, they will leave. Technology has made changing jobs relatively easy, and employee turnover affects the bottom line of the organization.
Employees want a meaningful work environment before they can feel committed to an organization. Issues such as flexible schedules are important; many employees are caring for their aging parents and young children at the same time; many are working full-time and attending college. Organizations are struggling to find qualified employees; and global companies are struggling to find senior leaders. Perhaps a new type of leader is needed; one with trans-global leadership skills and cross-cultural competencies. Another line of thinking is changing from appointing an individual leader to creating a team of leaders.
There are currently five generations in the global workforce: Traditionalists (or veterans), Baby Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z – those who were born between 1994 and 2010. The Millennials (Gen Y) are starting to move into management and leadership positions, and many Gen Zs are graduating high school and college. The Traditionalists and early Baby Boomers are working longer – many have lost their retirement savings and cannot afford to retire. With this mix of generations in the workforce, there is a growing concern that it is difficult to please all employees.
Emerging countries such as the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and MIKT (Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea and Turkey), may have five generations in the workforce. However, employee satisfaction and employee commitment may not mean the same in the United States as it does in developing and emerging countries. In today’s diverse, global environment, numerous differences are in effect:Cultural: collectivism versus individualism;Communication: high context, indirect styles versus low context, and direct styles;Time Orientation: monochromic versus polychromic;Ethics: deontological versus utilitarianism; andReligious beliefs.
While diversity presents opportunities, it also presents challenges in the workforce. These challenges can present opportunities for doctoral students! As a doctoral student in the field of business and technology, there is an unlimited amount of topics and ideas from which to base your own research study.
As a doctoral student, you must stand on the shoulders of those who went before, meaning your particular study must be based on one or more studies that were previously conducted. The use of theoretical and conceptual.

CHAPTER 3Leadership, Culture, Communication, and Diversity
The word culture can mean different things to different people: Perhaps it conjures up images of fine art, museums, and orchestras. Or perhaps it is the word you use to
describe the shared patterns, behaviors, and artifacts of a country, region, or society. In
fact, culture does have different “layers” that interact. For example, macrocultures include
national, religious, ethnic, and occupational cultures that exist globally; organizational
cultures exist in private, public, nonprofit, and government arenas; subcultures are found
in occupational groups within organizations; and microcultures exist within occupations
inside and outside organizations (Schein, 2010).
In this chapter, we focus on organizational culture before examining how culture more
generally—in terms of countries, nationalities, ethnicities, and so on—can have broad
implications for leadership efficacy and success. While the first two chapters laid the
foundation for understanding the nature of leadership, these final three chapters show
how leaders influence and shape organizations to achieve goals through communication,
strategy, and teamwork. We begin this discussion with organizational culture because
it shares a mutually dependent relationship with these three dimensions: An organiza-
tion’s culture affects how people communicate, how strategy is developed and imple-
mented, and how people work in teams. Culture can also be defined in terms of these
three dimensions. It is arguably the most important internal organizational dimension.
This chapter will also cover what is perhaps the more common usage of culture—interna-
tional cultures—and how different cultures and globalization present opportunities and
challenges for leadership. Since organizational and national cultures are influenced by
global trends—for example, technology innovations, mergers and acquisitions, influx of
international workers, and a mix of diverse values—leaders and followers must be able to
accommodate such changes in their organizations and teams. Understanding culture has
a substantial payoff ...

13. Key Issues
Based on the analyses made, the following key issues are drawn.
• BNPL Financing is a type of short-term financing that allows consumers to make purchases and pay for them at a future date. It is becoming an increasingly popular payment option;
• BNPL has fully digital operating landscape that enables superior customer experience and business efficiency. Thus, it is expected to capture a significant portion of the market with strong growth prospect;
• Dashen Bank is the only bank that provides BNPL financing so far. However, as a substitute product Cooperative Bank of Ethiopia provide the Michu financing.
• Fin-tech and telecommunication companies that work in partnership with domestic banks are potential competitors to BNPL business that provide and facilitate digitized credit facility;
• The domestic experience revealed that:
o The eligibility for the service requires the customers age should be 18 years and above; have a monthly income, which they can prove from their employer or a business license in the case of business owners;
o The maximum spending limit on Dube Ale is currently set at Birr 700,000 and is determined at branches;
o Payments can only be made using the app, and withdrawals are not allowed;
o Customers charged a subscription, guarantee, and convenience fee; The maximum loan duration is 12 months;
o Interest Ranges from 2% to 2.5% on monthly basis;
o The customer should repay the previous credit first to get another credit and the credit can be paid fully or partially; and
o Charges vary depending on the credit period and if payment is made after the due date there will be a penalty fee.
• The market need assessment shows that there is a demand of BNPL financing and almost all interviewed sampled organizations were voluntary to give their employees information when requested by the bank;
• Majority of the sampled respondents prefer loan repayment through mobile banking and also most of the respondents prefer if the duration of loan repayment period up to a year and shall base on value of the purchased item;
• There are five BNPL financing models that are widely applicable. Partnering with Fin-tech to build BNPL solution and Rent out balance sheet are the best models that CBE can adopt right now. Furthermore, the Bank may entertain integrating installments in to credit cards. Acquiring a BNPL company and Rent a technology can also be adopted in line with the banks business model and when the need arise by the market;
• Currently, two local potential fin-tech companies EAGLELION System Technology (Dube Pay) and Seregela PLC approached and show an interest and signed memorandum of understanding to work with CBE through the two business models;
• The expected benefits of BNPL financing for the CBE are the loan is short term; it address the needs of credit access of retail customers; increase and diversify the credit portfolio; and the bank will have a special product that calls for and held its retail customer fr

1. The industrial age is giving
way to the knowledge era
The era of knowledge-production and knowledge management is
emerging with unparalleled significance in organizations. Facilitating
learning, creative, and adaptive capacity becomes a central leader task
that reflects the “dynamic relationship between the bureaucratic,
administrative functions of the organization and the emergent, informal
dynamics of complex adaptive systems (CAS).”
(Uhl-Bien, Marion, & McKelvey, 2007, p. 298)
Eighth International Conference on Knowledge, Culture and Change in Organizations
5-8 August 2008 ◦ Cambridge University ◦ UK
2. Traditional hierarchical
models do not express all
there is to structure
A more effective use of understanding hierarchy is to view it as
supporting organizational members instead of merely commanding
them. Instead of reflecting the hierarchical needs of the leader to
maintain power and control, long-term viability of organizations is
related to a collectively led dynamic system “where bottom-up
structuration emerges.” (Osborn & Hunt, 2007, p. 319)
Eighth International Conference on Knowledge, Culture and Change in Organizations
5-8 August 2008 ◦ Cambridge University ◦ UK
3. Globally diverse
organizations and cultures
require a global mindset in
organizational structures
Antecedents of cultural diversity are a significant consideration when
talking about global leadership and change (Hofstede, 2001; House et al, 2004).
Leaders with a global mindset will develop forward-thinking organizational
structures reflective of the ability “to influence individuals, groups,
organizations, and systems that are unlike the leader’s.”
(Javidan, 2007, 2008)
Eighth International Conference on Knowledge, Culture and Change in Organizations
5-8 August 2008 ◦ Cambridge University ◦ UK
4. Complex adaptive
processes are emergent and
interactive
Organizational processes involve complex adaptive relational responses that
can be depicted as interactions between interdependent people.
(Stacey et al, 2000, Stacey, 2001, 2003)
Leadership in organizations considers valuable the “complex adaptive
process that emerges in the interactive ‘spaces between’ people and
ideas.” (Lichtenstein et al, 2006, p. 2)

Coaching
Coaching
and mentoring share many similarities. According to the International Institute of Coaching (2012) coaching is a form of personal development where the client and coach form an alliance that promotes and sustains the client’s personal growth. Coaching is an interactive, results oriented process that brings about change. Mentoring on the other hand is the process of giving another person help and advice.
According to Psychology Today, overstressed managers are increasingly turning to coaches to avoid burnout and to maximize their chances of success.
Mentoring
Relationship building is another way of transmitting organizational culture. Mentoring at its best describes a reciprocal relationship between two or more individuals (Zachary, 2005). Mentoring allows information to be transmitted, helps with future career growth, and assists organizations in retaining productive employees. In many businesses employees are encouraged to form relationships with mentors. These relationships tend to instill a sense of membership in the company. However, the mentor/protégée relationship is not indefini.

THE CULTURE AND MORAL COMPASSES
Part 1: The Culture Compass
As the “personality” of an organization, organizational culture has been variously defined. Culture has been a topic of great interest to organizational researchers and practitioners alike, given its apparent influence on such matters as organizational change, performance, and effectiveness. An abstract concept, organizational culture is not all that easily defined – although most of us do know it when we “see” it, or when we experience its characteristics. Much of organizational culture is tacit – it lies below the level of our awareness, as certain agreed-upon assumptions are not made explicit. Culture includes artifacts, symbols, stories, beliefs, habits, value systems, and shared assumptions (“the way we do things around here”). Of course, an organization’s culture can be made more highly complex by virtue of the many sub-cultures that make up the overall culture. Whatever culture is, its elements become most readily apparent to us during the merger of two organizations, particularly so when the culture of the two merging organizations are vastly dissimilar.

Resources for Papers 1 and 2
Part 1: The Culture Compass
As the “personality” of an organization, organizational culture has been variously defined. Culture has been a topic of great interest to organizational researchers and practitioners alike, given its apparent influence on such matters as organizational change, performance, and effectiveness. An abstract concept, organizational culture is not all that easily defined – although most of us do know it when we “see” it, or when we experience its characteristics. Much of organizational culture is tacit – it lies below the level of our awareness, as certain agreed-upon assumptions are not made explicit. Culture includes artifacts, symbols, stories, beliefs, habits, value systems, and shared assumptions (“the way we do things around here”). Of course, an organization’s culture can be made more highly complex by virtue of the many sub-cultures that make up the overall culture. Whatever culture is, its elements become most readily apparent to us during the merger of two organizations, particularly so when the culture of the two merging organizations are vastly dissimilar.

1. The industrial age is giving
way to the knowledge era
The era of knowledge-production and knowledge management is
emerging with unparalleled significance in organizations. Facilitating
learning, creative, and adaptive capacity becomes a central leader task
that reflects the “dynamic relationship between the bureaucratic,
administrative functions of the organization and the emergent, informal
dynamics of complex adaptive systems (CAS).”
(Uhl-Bien, Marion, & McKelvey, 2007, p. 298)
Eighth International Conference on Knowledge, Culture and Change in Organizations
5-8 August 2008 ◦ Cambridge University ◦ UK
2. Traditional hierarchical
models do not express all
there is to structure
A more effective use of understanding hierarchy is to view it as
supporting organizational members instead of merely commanding
them. Instead of reflecting the hierarchical needs of the leader to
maintain power and control, long-term viability of organizations is
related to a collectively led dynamic system “where bottom-up
structuration emerges.” (Osborn & Hunt, 2007, p. 319)
Eighth International Conference on Knowledge, Culture and Change in Organizations
5-8 August 2008 ◦ Cambridge University ◦ UK
3. Globally diverse
organizations and cultures
require a global mindset in
organizational structures
Antecedents of cultural diversity are a significant consideration when
talking about global leadership and change (Hofstede, 2001; House et al, 2004).
Leaders with a global mindset will develop forward-thinking organizational
structures reflective of the ability “to influence individuals, groups,
organizations, and systems that are unlike the leader’s.”

4. Complex adaptive
processes are emergent and
interactive
Organizational processes involve complex adaptive relational responses that
can be depicted as interactions between interdependent people.
(Stacey et al, 2000, Stacey, 2001, 2003)
Leadership in organizations considers valuable the “complex adaptive
process that emerges in the interactive ‘spaces between’ people and
ideas.” (Lichtenstein et al, 2006, p. 2)

Coaching
Coaching
and mentoring share many similarities. According to the International Institute of Coaching (2012) coaching is a form of personal development where the client and coach form an alliance that promotes and sustains the client’s personal growth. Coaching is an interactive, results oriented process that brings about change. Mentoring on the other hand is the process of giving another person help and advice.
According to Psychology Today, overstressed managers are increasingly turning to coaches to avoid burnout and to maximize their chances of success.
Mentoring
Relationship building is another way of transmitting organizational culture. Mentoring at its best describes a reciprocal relationship between two or more individuals (Zachary, 2005). Mentoring allows information to be transmitted, helps with future career growth, and assists organizations in retaining productive employees. In many businesses employees are encouraged to form relationships with mentors. These relationships tend to instill a sense of membership in the company. However, the mentor/protégée relationship is not indefini.

Communication is part of all human activity. We all communicate all the time. It is so all-encompassing that it defies definition.
A respected scholar recently observed in the pages of this Journal that “considering that communication is one of the oldest human activities, it is somewhat astonishing that no general.

Part 1: The Culture Compass
As the “personality” of an organization, organizational culture has been variously defined. Culture has been a topic of great interest to organizational researchers and practitioners alike, given its apparent influence on such matters as organizational change, performance, and effectiveness. An abstract concept, organizational culture is not all that easily defined – although most of us do know it when we “see” it, or when we experience its characteristics. Much of organizational culture is tacit – it lies below the level of our awareness, as certain agreed-upon assumptions are not made explicit. Culture includes artifacts, symbols, stories, beliefs, habits, value systems, and shared assumptions (“the way we do things around here”). Of course, an organization’s culture can be made more highly complex by virtue of the many sub-cultures that make up the overall culture. Whatever culture is, its elements become most readily apparent to us during the merger of two organizations, particularly so when the culture of the two merging organizations are vastly dissimilar.

This assignment is a continuation of material from Chapter 1 and your 1.2 Discussion. This material will help you understand organizational leader characteristics as you consider and defend your perspectives and consider those of your peers.
Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:
Evaluate leadership styles.
Resources
Textbook:
Leadership: Enhancing the Lessons of Experience
Background Information
In this discussion, you will consider the various definitions of leadership as provided in the textbook from the authors' review of literature in the field of leadership. You will also explore the concept of leadership as both rational and emotional as well as the differences between the roles of a manager versus the roles of a leader.
The concept of followership is also introduced in this assignment's reading from the textbook, as well as the growing role of women in leadership positions and responsibilities.
Instructions
Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
Review Chapter 1, "What Do We Mean by Leadership?", in our textbook. As you review, reflect upon the definitions of leadership and how these definitions and other aspects of leadership add to your prior understanding of a leader's role in an organization.
Conduct a critical analysis of the postings by two of your classmates from the posts submitted in 1.2 by the end of the workshop and should be written as if you were reviewing their posting in an academic journal. Your discussion response should, therefore, answer the following questions as applicable:
Were three leadership definitions clearly defined with examples and clear, insightful critical thinking? Comment on two of the three definitions of leadership presented in the post of your classmates. Do you agree or disagree with their interpretation of the definition of leadership? Provide rationale from personal examples or subject matter expert opinions.
Did the discussion of leadership as an art or a science include a detailed explanation that demonstrates clear, insightful critical thinking? Review your classmates' posts. Does their explanation support defining leadership as either an “art” or a “science”? Explain.
Was the concept of spiritual gifts effectively discussed, relating the concept to that of leadership styles?
In addition to commenting on the critical thinking displayed in the post, offer your comments on the original post and provide your overall agreement or disagreement with the poster’s concept of leadership.

Historia de Puerto rico
Universidad Interamericana Recinto de Barranquitas
Comienzos de la novela en Puerto Rico
La literatura en Puerto Rico comienza a finales del siglo XIX.
Movimiento del romanticismo( Europa: Alemania, Inglaterra y España)
Géneros literarios: Poesía, teatro, ensayo y narrativa( novela, cuentos, leyendas, etc.).
La novela es el último género en llegar a Puerto Rico y a América.
En estas novelas trataban los temas de: el amor a la patria, el destino, la muerte, Dios y el progreso, entre otros.
La primera novela puertorriqueña
Hay dos teorías sobre la primer novela puertorriqueña:
Luz y Sombra(1893) = Escrita por Ana Roque de Duprey, primera novela escrita en Puerto Rico.
“La Peregrinación de Bayoán”(1863) = Escrita por Eugenio María de Hostos, primera novela escrita por un puertorriqueño pero es escrita en España. Esta es la mas aceptada como la primera novela puertorriqueña. Su tema principal era la lucha por la identidad del puertorriqueño. Ideas políticas y sociales de Hostos luego del grito de Lares y el grito de Yara(Cuba), fueron expresadas en esta novela.
Otros escritores importantes de la época
Manuel Zeno Gandía = Considerado como el más grande novelista de Puerto Rico. Sus obras: “La Charca”, “Garduña” y “El Negocio”, conocidas como “Crónicas de un mundo enfermo”, se escriben ya bajo el naturalismo. Presentan a un Puerto Rico enfermo y la situación crítica de un Puerto Rico abandonado por España.
Enrique A. Laguerre = Sus obras más importantes: “La Resaca” y “La llamarada”. Sus obras presentan la pésima situación de vida del campesinado a finales del siglo XIX.

Pam and Josh have received several emails recently with suggestions about various biotechnology, retailing, and environmental companies. The investment advisers believe that these industries would provide an opportunity for strong long-term financial gains.
In recent years, the Brocks have made extensive use of mutual funds in their investment portfolio. However, they are concerned that their selection of the funds may not be coordinated. With over 9,200 different mutual funds available, this financial marketplace is confusing.
The Brocks start the evaluation process by connecting various types of mutual funds to their investments goals. Next, they assess the past performance and management of the funds. Finally, they talk with various financial advisers and other investors to gather additional information.

2-1 IntroductionUber Technologies Inc. (Uber) is a tech startu.docx
2-1 Introduction
Uber Technologies Inc. (Uber) is a tech startup that provides ride-sharing services by
facilitating a connection between independent contractors (drivers) and riders with the use
of an app. Uber has expanded its operations to 425 cities in 72 countries around the world
and is valued at around $70 billion, making it the world’s most valuable startup.
Approximately 30 million users use Uber’s services monthly. Uber has become a key player
in the sharing economy, a new economic model in which independent contractors rent out
their underutilized resources such as vehicles or lodging to other consumers. The sharing
economy is quickly becoming an alternative to owning resources outright. Because its
services cost less than taking a traditional taxi, Uber and similar ride-sharing services have
upended the taxi industry. The company has experienced resounding success and is
looking toward expansion both internationally and within the United States.
However, Uber’s rapid success is creating challenges in the form of legal and regulatory,
social, and technical obstacles. The taxi industry, for instance, is arguing that Uber has an
unfair advantage because it does not face the same licensing requirements as they do.
Others accuse Uber of not vetting their drivers, creating potentially unsafe situations. Some
major cities are banning ride-sharing services like Uber because of these various concerns.
Additionally, Uber has faced various lawsuits, including a lawsuit filed by its independent
contractors. Its presence in the market has influenced lawmakers to draft new regulations to
govern this “app-driven” ride-sharing system. Legislation can often hinder a company’s
expansion opportunities because of the resources it must expend to comply with regulatory
requirements. Uber has been highly praised for giving independent contractors an opportunity to earn money as long as they have a car, while also offering convenient ways for consumers to get around at lower costs. Although its “Surge Pricing” technique has been criticized for charging higher fares during popular times, it is also becoming a model for other companies such as Zappos in how it compensates its call center employees. The biggest issues Uber faces include legal action because drivers are not licensed, rider and driver safety,protection and security of customer and driver information, and a lack of adequate insurance coverage. To be successful, Uber must address these issues in its marketing strategy so it can reduce resistance as it expands into other cities.
2-2 Background
In 2009 Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp developed a smartphone application to connect
drivers-for-hire with people needing rides to a destination in their city. Earlier in the year the
founders had attended the inaugural address in Washington, D.C. and could not hail a taxi.
They recognized the need for a convenient, low-cost transportation service. This innovative
service was originally founded.

Re: Topic 2 DQ 1
Social determinants of health are factors affecting peoples’ health, functioning and well-being, such as environmental conditions, social, and economic variables. Socioeconomic environmental factors contributing to infectious disease occurrence include crowding, unsanitary, unavailability of uncontaminated foods and water. These conditions provide an environment required for continuous chain of infection; the process required for transmission of disease. There are 6 components in the chain, or a cycle, of infection: organisms, reservoir, portal of exit, transmission, portal of entry, and a suspectable host (Green, 2018). To stop spreading of a communicable disease, the process has to interrupted or the chain of infection has to be broken at any point. Nurses, working in communities can decrease of the infectious diseases spreading. Promoting vaccination to lowering susceptible hosts number; and educating on sign and symptoms for early self-isolation to protect one’s family members from getting sick, breaking the transmission link. Educating on thorough hand hygiene and reducing face touching may protect one from getting sick eliminate portal of entry link. Proper respiratory hygiene, such as using disposable tissues and covering the mouth when sneezing, may stop the transmission on the stage of the pathogen leaving the reservoir via portal of exit (CDC.gov).
Noncommunicable chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, have grown in endemic and epidemic proportions, are developing from a combination of determinants including environmental, physiological, and behavioral factors, additionally to genetic disposition (Green, 2018). Lack of knowledge and motivation, unavailability of healthcare services and financial resources contribute to developing of such diseases.q

MALEETA'S POST:
World War II film
Saving Private Ryan (1998), directed by one of my favorites,
Steven Spielberg, is what I the topic my topic of week five’s discussion. This film is like no other World War II film that I have seen because of the realistic combat. I found myself getting overwhelmed, covering my eyes, and getting sick to my stomach from time to time through the movie. From the very beginning of the film on Omaha Beach, the D-Day landing scene gave me a glimpse of how the stress of combat experience could have felt.
Movie-watchers do not think about how the color scheme plays a significant part and sets different tones. The muddy browns, dark greens, and greys are the predominant colors throughout the movie. This movie does not have many vibrant, happy colors, and for a good reason. For instance, in
Saving Private Ryan
, the Normandy landing scene opens slowly to a beach. The setting is solemn, and the continuous color scheme of bland greys is an excellent cinematography piece. I felt like it made the red blood colors and the explosion colors stand out even more. Also, almost every shot was dreary and had vintage-like colors that gave the feeling of war and hopelessness. There was a part in this scene when the soldiers were near water that contrasted the typically dreary colors with a calming blue hue. The change of color gave me some hope that it may be safer under the surface, and then those hopes were instantly shattered when shots were fired, and red clouds pierced through the calming blue colors punishing me for even thinking there was any hope approaching the soldiers. This is an excellent mise-en-scene because it represented my change of emotions.
Another color paly example is in the scene where “Duty” is talking and joking as the crew marches toward their mission. Throughout this scene, the conversation is more cheerful, but the lighting and colors of grey and green continue to give a gloomy narrative, so my mood does not change much.
Saving Private Ryan has the same dull, dreary colors and low-key lighting, which looks dark and intensifies the shadows as the other War films in Week Five’s content. The desaturation of color is often used in war films.
Saving Private Ryan’s narrative, editing, camera movement, and color scheme throughout the movie jumped out of the screen and attacked me as a viewer. Every part of its cinematography placed the watcher in the combat experience, and I loved it in a good but bad way.
COLIN'S POST:
The war film I watched for this week was
1917 (2019)
directed by Sam Mendes. This film takes place during World War I and follows two British soldiers throughout most of the movie. This film is unique because it is shot as a "one shot film" where the director uses lighting and different angles with very few cuts to give a continuous feeling throughout the entire film. It gives audiences a more connected feeling as it seems like the scenes never end.

What is Engineering?
Engineers concern themselves with:
“the art of the practical application of scientific and empirical knowledge to the design and production or accomplishment of various sorts of constructive projects, machines and materials of use or value to man.”
“Value is not necessarily measured by an economic yardstick; the ancient pyramids and not a few structures since are of slight economic worth, while their value in terms of faith and beauty has often been considerable.”

Socrates on Ethics
Ethics are the norms by which acceptable and unacceptable behavior are measured.
According to Socrates, one develops ethics through maturity, wisdom and love.
Introduced the concept of teaching ethics and acceptable standards of conduct in 400 B.C.
Believed virtue was found primarily in human relationships, love and friendship, not through material gains.

is difficult. An old saying in human resources management, “Hire for attitude, and train
for skill,” is particularly applicable today, when in the highly competitive medical practice
environment, patients have increasingly high expectations of their providers. Simply having
technical skills is not adequate to build and maintain a successful practice. Staff must be
able to engage patients in a positive and constructive way to earn their trust and satisfac-
tion. Although data seem to conflict on this point, many researchers believe engaged and
satisfied patients are more likely to comply with the instructions of their providers than are
disengaged, unsatisfied patients, leading to better outcomes (e.g., Kane, Maciejewski, and
Finch 1997). More recently, a study by Fenton, Jerant, and Bertaski (2012) found little
connection between satisfaction and clinical outcome; in fact, the researchers found that
mortality was higher, as were expenditures and utilization, among more satisfied groups.
Other authors have observed this tenuous connection as well (Kennedy, Tevis, and Kent
2014). The controversy has intensified as more physician payment is tied to patient satis-
faction. Some issues that complicate this concept are the lack of common definitions and
measures of satisfaction and the complexity inherent in defining.
2 Requirements Elicitation A Survey of Techniques, Ap.docx
2 Requirements Elicitation: A Survey of Techniques,
Approaches, and Tools
Didar Zowghi and Chad Coulin
Abstract: Requirements elicitation is the process of seeking, uncovering, acquir-
ing, and elaborating requirements for computer based systems. It is generally un-
derstood that requirements are elicited rather than just captured or collected. This
implies there are discovery, emergence, and development elements to the elicita-
tion process. Requirements elicitation is a complex process involving many ac-
tivities with a variety of available techniques, approaches, and tools for perform-
ing them. The relative strengths and weaknesses of these determine when each is
appropriate depending on the context and situation. The objectives of this chapter
are to present a comprehensive survey of important aspects of the techniques, ap-
proaches, and tools for requirements elicitation, and examine the current issues,
trends, and challenges faced by researchers and practitioners in this field.
Keywords: requirements, elicitation, techniques, approaches, tools, issues, chal-
lenges, trends, survey.
2.1 Introduction
The importance of requirements engineering (RE) within software systems deve l-
opment has long been established and recognized by researchers and practitioners
alike (Chapter 1). The elicitation of requirements represents an early but continu-
ous and critical stage in the development of software systems. The requirements
for a software system may be spread across many sources. These include the prob-
lem owners, the stakeholders, documentation, and other existing systems. Because
of the communication rich nature of requirements elicitation activities, many of
the effective techniques do not originate from the traditional areas of software en-
gineering or computer science research. Techniques for requirements elicitation
are derived mostly from the social sciences, organizational theory, group dynam-
ics, knowledge engineering, and very often from practical experience.
The process of requirements elicitation is generally accepted as one of the criti-
cal activities in the RE process. Getting the right requirements is considered as a
vital but difficult part of software development projects [36]. A recent field study
of fifteen RE teams carried out by Hofmann and Lehner [31] identified key RE
practices that should lead to project success. Effective elicitation of requirements
was arguably among the most important of the resulting recommended good RE
practices.
Requirements elicitation itself is a very complex process involving many activi-
ties, with multiple techniques available to perform these activities. The multi-
disciplinary nature of requirements elicitation only adds to this complexity. Elici-
tation is subject to a large degree of error, influenced by key factors ingrained in
communication problems. Despite the importance of requirements elicitation
within software development, insufficient.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
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

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Week 6 Lecture This final week our focus is on culture and leadership, as well as leadership ethics. These are two very important topics in terms of understanding and working with business strategies. Our first chapter reading this week focuses on culture and leadership. What is culture and why is it important in terms of business strategies? There are many definitions for culture. According to our textbook, “culture is defined as the learned beliefs, values, rules, norms, symbols and traditions that are common to a group of people” (Northouse, 2013, p. 384). Another definition on culture is that Culture refers to the cumulative deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, attitudes, meanings, hierarchies, religion, notions of time, roles, spatial relations, concepts of the universe, and material objects and possessions acquired by a group of people in the course of generations through individual and group striving (Texas A&M University, Culture, n.d., para. 1).
- 5. One last definition might be that “culture is the characteristics of a particular group of people, defined by everything from language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts (Zimmermann, 2012, para. 1). Now that there is an understanding of what culture is, why is culture so important in terms of business strategies? There is a great interview that dives into the importance of aligning culture and strategies in organizations that is recommended to read. It can be found via this link: Aligning Organizational Culture with Business Strategy (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (http://www.towerswatson.com/en- US/Insights/Newsletters/Global/strategy-at- work/2013/viewpoints-qa-aligning-organizational-culture-with- business-strategy). The value of connecting both the organizations strategy, which would include the values, vision and mission, with the culture is a win-win for both the organization and the employees that come together that make it happen. As we have defined above, culture is a shared connection of knowledge, beliefs, values, etc. In an organizational culture these shared beliefs create an environment in which the stakeholders work together to not only be productive but to also create a successful organization. It should be noted that “culture formed by the moment, will also change by the moment, and ultimately it will disappear in a moment” (Myatt, 2012, para 4). Culture is not formed overnight. It is developed over time and becomes second nature to the organization and the manner in which it operates. Below is a video that illustrates cultural dimensions:
- 6. Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions Theory Video - Lesson and Example (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (http://youtu.be/mNntW_DA0x0) When working with the term culture, there are many elements to consider. These include ethnocentrism and prejudice. Ethnocentrism is when a group feels their culture is superior to others. Another definition would be that “ethnocentrism is the tendency to believe that one's ethnic or cultural group is centrally important, and that all other groups are measured in relation to one's own (Princeton University, n.d., para. 1). Prejudice according to our textbook is to have a fixed “attitude, belief or emotion” towards another based on invalid information (Northouse, 2013, p. 385). Below is an interesting video on sociology ethnocentrism and cultural relativism. Sociology Ethnocentrism and Cultural Relativism (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (http://youtu.be/antnSXwrBnM) Moving forward, let’s look at Chapter 16, which focuses on leadership ethics. As we look at the contents of this chapter, let’s break down the meaning behind leadership ethics. As illustrated in our textbook, ethics relate to one’s “customs, conduct or character” as they relate to ones values, morale and what is and what is not appropriate (Northouse, 2013, p. 424). An excellent article on the topic of leadership ethics that is
- 7. recommended is: Ethical Leadership: Right Relationships and the Emotional Bottom Line (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (http://www.ethicalleadership.com/BusinessArticle.htm) The principles of ethical leadership focus on five disciplines: · Respect Others · Serves Others · Shows Justice · Manifests Honesty · Builds Community (Northouse, 2013, p. 431).
