Paper 1 instructions: Compare, contrast, and offer conclusion/analysis of change models
In this paper you will use information from the on-line PowerPoints in Weeks 1 & 2 plus the course material assigned in those weeks. In addition you will access the various change management models provided to you on the Change MGT 643 Moodle.
TO BEGIN: Cover page with course name, your name, Assignment Number, Professor’s name, Date. Table of Contents.
1. ABSTRACT: In no more than 150 words state what this paper is about, why it is important, how the research was done, and a key finding.
2. INTRODUCTION: (500 words): State why identifying and leading change is important today. Explain that you are comparing and contrasting eight key elements of six major change management models to determine their utility in managing organizational change. Summarize what each model is with NO MORE than one-paragraph (5 lines) defining each in bullet form. The six models are:
1. Kotter’s 8-steps
2. Bridges’ Transition model
3. McKinsey 7S model
4. Lewin’s 3-step model
5. Nadler-Teshman Congruence model, and
6. Prosci ADKAR model.
3. RESEARCH FINDINGS:
· Use your own best judgement to rate in the table provided how well each of the6 key change models incorporate the 8 most important factors of change. You will come to your conclusion based on your research into the 6 models. There is no wrong/right answer. This is an exercise in your ability to understand terms, apply critical thinking and to defend that thinking
· You present your research by first offering a very short and clear explanation of each change model and then a very brief explanation of why each of the 8 change factors is important in the field of change management. This now allows you to present the table (example below) with your ratings of the different models.

Description of the problems
The two major workplace issues to be discussed in this paper include discrimination and safety within the workplace. Discrimination refers to a situation in which some employees within an organization are highly favoured in comparison to others. For instance, some organizations may favour particular group of people for each and every kind of leadership position at the extent of depriving others this chance even though they may be qualified for the position. Discrimination comes in various ways; in some scenarios it may be viewed from the point of using the organization’s resources whereby some employees may not be allowed to use some resources as a result of discrimination. The issue of discrimination needs to be addressed from the fact that an organization may end up losing potential employees as a result of discrimination. Discrimination is normally brought as a result of having a diversity of employees within a workplace. Currently, researches conducted in different organizations have shown that organizations with a higher diversity of employees will always have great ideas for creativity and also innovation. From the fact that discrimination results into loss of potential employees, this clearly shows that the level of creativity and innovation with as well decrease and therefore making this issue very sensitive and thus needs to be addressed (Acocella, 2007).
The second major problem that needs to be addressed is safety from the fact that organizations deal with various tools and equipment which may result into harmful implications on the employees. Safety may also be looked into in different angles; for instance there is the physical safety in which the employer should ensure each employee is protected against any risk that may end up resulting into harmful effects. Emotional safety is also important and the employee should ensure this by providing a stress free environment for working. Safety is a very important issue to be addressed from the fact that human life is very important. A human life once lost can never be retrieved since no one has the capability of giving another life. This makes this problem very necessary to be addressed.
Solution
s for the problems to be implemented
Strategies need to be implemented to address the issues above. For the case of discrimination, various steps need to be applied to make sure the problem is addressed. The employers needs to sit and discuss deeply with an experienced business attorney who will help in the formulation of discrimination policies for the workplace. The policies should be in line with the discrimination laws for best results. It is from th.

This paper describes our use of Morgan’s (1997) metaphors for making sense of end-user attitudes and be-
havior in an information systems development project, in a UK National Health Service hospital. We employ
a case study approach, within which we elicit the attitudes using a questionnaire and infer the behavior
using observations and interviews. We present the results in the form of a journey, tracking the metaphori-
cal shift for each end-user, over the project duration. We show how individual journeys can be combined
to capture organizations’ shift in metaphorical position. Our results show that within a space of eighteen
months the organization’s overall metaphorical stance shifted from the organism to the machine metaphor.
This reflects the end-user’s initial optimism for the change to enable ease of working to that of efficiency
dictated by the senior management towards the end. We also found that this shift was due to organizational
conditional factors. [Article copies are available for purchase from InfoSci-on-Demand.com]

Metaphors are useful communication devices

tools that we use to make sense of the world
and interpret meaning (Ortony, 1975; Oswick

create mental pictures that help to interpret

creating certain types of realities within our
minds metaphors assist us to contextualize the
world in ways that we may not have envisaged
before. Morgan (1986) provides eight metaphors
for organizations: machine, organism, brain,
culture, political system, psychic prison, flux
and transformation, and instruments of domi-
nation. A detailed description of these is given
in Appendix 1. These metaphors help to make ...
Morgans organizations as organisms
1. Organizations are open systems that depend on their environment to survive and must adapt to changes in order to grow.
2. Different types of organizations, or "species", thrive in different environments, such as bureaucratic organizations in stable environments and adhocracies in turbulent settings.
3. Contingency theory posits that there is no single best way to organize and the appropriate structure depends on factors like the task and environment. Management must ensure a good fit between the organization and its context.
1. Earlier in the class, we considered the various numeric types a.docx
1. Earlier in the class, we considered the various numeric types available in VB. We even talked about the bounds for these numeric types. Please identify each of the numeric types in VB and their numeric bounds (e.g., from 2 to 63). Order those types from smallest to largest by their upper bound. Once you have done that, find an example of something in the world that fits between the upper bound of its predecessor and its own upper bound.
For example: if you have a class that goes from 1 to 5 and another that goes from 1 to 20, you could say that there are 16teams in the American Football Conference in the NFL (16 is between 5 and 20).
Your answer should include each of the types, their bounds, AND an example.
2. You have gone to work for Apple circa 2007 and they have asked you to create a simple application for a cell phone that will allow a user to search their contacts list by typing.
The user starts typing a name. If what they have typed begins a string or is a substring of some other string in the contact list, it will pull up those entries. After each new character is typed or deleted, the list is changed that is available to see. Once the user selects a contact, the process ends.
Construct a simple flow chart that will model that process. Make sure that each waypoint along the way is included here. If the program is making a decision or the user is reacting, include it.
Attach a photo.
3. Let's revisit part of Assignment 1. You constructed a pseudocode that would allow for the advancement of dates. In this case, we are going to work with that to write a function.
Write a function called maxDate that takes in two arguments (I won't tell you what they are, but the notes below should cue you in as to what they would be). That function should return an integer that declares the maximum number of days that month can have as an integer. Think about what would be the easiest thing for this type of function to receive from another part of the program.
Notes:
1. Different months have different numbers of available days
2. Certain months in certain years have a different number of available days. Those years are predictable. If it is divisible by 4, it is a leap year with a somewhat tricky exception: if it is divisible by 100 and not by 400, it is not a leap year. So, 2000 is a leap year, but 1900 is not.
Submit the code of your function here by copying and pasting.

The user starts typing a name. If what they have typed begins a string or is a substring of some other string in the contact list, it will pull up those entries. After each new character is typed or deleted, the list is changed that is available to see. Once the user selects a contact, the process ends.
Construct a simple flow chart that will model that process. Make sure that each waypoint along the way is included here. If the program is making a decision or the user is reacting, include it.
Attach a photo.
3. Let's revisit part of Assignment 1. You constructed a pseudocode that would allow for the advancement of dates. In this case, we are going to work with that to write a function.
Write a function called maxDate that takes in two arguments (I won't tell you what they are, but the notes below should cue you in as to what they would be). That function should return an integer that declares the maximum number of days that month can have as an integer. Think about what would be the easiest thing for this type of function to receive from another part of the program.
Notes:
1. Different months have different numbers of available days
2. Certain months in certain years have a different number of available days. Those years are predictable. If it is divisible by 4, it is a leap year with a somewhat tricky exception: if it is divisible by 100 and not by 400, it is not a leap year. So, 2000 is a leap year, but 1900 is not.
Submit the code of your function here by copying and pasting.

Assignment 2.2 Justification Report - Part 2Due Week 5 and wort.docx
Assignment 2.2: Justification Report - Part 2
Due Week 5 and worth 150 points
In Part 1 of your Justification Report assignment, you built up the following sections: Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods. In Part 2, you will revise Part 1 based on your instructor's suggestions and add to it the following sections: Evaluation of Alternatives, Findings and Analysis, and References.
Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:
· Evaluation of Alternatives (for Questions 1-3)
· Findings and Analysis (for Questions 4-5)
· References (for Question 6)
Write a two (2) page, single-spaced report in which you:
1. Research the two (2) alternatives (i.e. possible solutions) that you've identified in your Part 1 Evaluation of Alternatives section. Record bibliographic information during research.
a. Example: You might research other organizations that have attempted similar solutions to the problem you have identified and explore the results of those experiments.
2. Use what you discover in your research to evaluate each alternative by each of your five (5) criteria.
a. Example: If your research revealed that four companies similar to yours increased productivity after allowing their workers to telework from home three days per week, you might conclude that one of your suggested alternatives – in this case, the option to telework from home three days per week – satisfies one of your criterion of “Productivity” as a high-potential solution to a problem you’ve identified (of decreased worker morale and productivity at Doe’s Electronics). However, additional research might frustrate a recommendation of this alternative if it is found to fall short of other criteria while a second alternative fares better. For instance, a telework alternative might be found to be too costly to implement; too frustrating for consumers who prefer daily, in-person customer service; or too divergent from the company’s brand, “Always there for you!”�
3. Organize the assignment by your criteria. Explain in narrative form how each of your two (2) alternatives stacks up against your first criterion. Next, explain how each alternative stacks up against your second criterion, etc.
a. Example: An abbreviated outline of what this longer section might look like based on the above example is below (Note: Only the first two [2] of five [5] required criteria are included to give you a feel for the structure). Your researched findings, represented as circled bullets below, should be explained in two to five (2-5) sentences. Include in-text citations and follow up with References in APA style):

Evidenced-based communication skills, change processes, and interventions to guide work in field experience:
I am using Lewin’s theory of planned change to guide the change process in this field experience rotation. The first stage of Lewin’s theory is the unfreezing phase whereby a change agent recognizes a problem, identifies the need for change, and determines the differences between the current and desired state (Shirey, 2013). The second stage is the moving phase which involves viewing the change as a process rather than a single event (Shirey, 2013). The change agent creates a solid plan for change, ideally consisting of actionable items that engage people to attempt the proposed change (Shirey, 2013). Finally, the refreezing phase involves solidifying the process(es) and creating policies such that the change becomes the new normal (Shirey, 2013).

This document is a literature review on the driving forces behind enterprise risk management (ERM) and the value it provides organizations. The review examines how firm size, complexity, industries and other factors influence adoption of ERM. Larger, more diversified and complex firms tend to implement ERM more due to greater needs and resources. While ERM provides benefits, some studies note its challenges for internationally diversified companies. Overall the review aims to understand what drives ERM adoption and identify the value it creates within different organizational structures.
Discussion 2 Managing Conflict in the WorkplaceHigh-pressure en.docx
Discussion 2: Managing Conflict in the Workplace
High-pressure environments, life-or-death implications, constant change, and long days of exhausting work … It is not surprising that conflicts arise in health care settings. In the fast-paced environment in which nurses work, small differences in decision making, processes, work ethic, and personal characteristics can quickly escalate
As a nurse manager, you need to develop and model skills that effectively address conflict situations. Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, offers sound advice that can be applied to conflict management and resolution. In Habit 4, Think Win-Win, Covey (2004) explains, “[m]any people think in terms of either/or: either you’re nice or you’re tough. Win-win requires that you be both. It is a balancing act between courage and consideration.” Ultimately, how you manage conflict in your setting will determine whether you foster an environment that breeds contempt or one that fosters growth.
Conflict abounds in any workplace; it is a normal part of organizational life. Instead of avoiding or ignoring conflict, the role of the nurse manager is to coach employees through conflict situations and to exercise judgment on how and when to intervene. When managed effectively and focused on substantive issues, conflict can actually lead to better outcomes. However, when interpersonal conflicts go unaddressed, employee morale and engagement–two factors that can seriously impact quality of patient care—will dwindle.
When nurse managers observe employees engaging in toxic or inappropriate workplace behaviors, they must prepare to give difficult feedback. Delivering difficult feedback can be challenging for nurse managers, as they must address employees in a way that is authoritative, supportive, and resolute. One strategy nurse managers can use to deliver difficult feedback is to employ the scripting framework. In this week’s Discussion, you gain experience with using the scripting framework to resolve a conflict situation that you have observed in your past or present workplace.
To prepare
Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the various forms of conflict that can occur in the workplace.
Consider the types of conflict, including bullying, horizontal violence, toxic and disruptive employees, misuse of social media, unbalanced power, harassment, and favoritism, that exist in your current organization or past place of employment.
Select one type of conflict you have observed. How has conflict impacted your work environment? How have nurse mangers attempted to address conflict situations?
Examine the six-step scripting framework for delivering difficult feedback in Chapter 7 of the course text, From Management to Leadership: Strategies for Transforming Health Care. Then, use this framework to script a conversation between you and the employee(s) involved in the conflict situation you selected.
When drafting your script, reflect on how H.

A newcomer’s entry as a real estate agent into the vocation of soliciting and
negotiating real estate transactions typically begins with the marketing and
locating of single family residences (SFRs) as a seller’s agent or a buyer’s agent
(also known as listing agents or selling agents, respectively).
Other properties an agent might work with include:
• one-to-four unit residential properties;
• apartments;
• commercial income properties (office buildings, commercial units and
industrial space);
• agricultural property; or
• unimproved parcels of land.

is a purchase agreement form. Different types of properties each require
a different variety of purchase agreement. Various purchase agreement
comprise provisions necessary to negotiate the sale of a particular type of
property.
Three basic categories of purchase agreements exist for the documentation of
real estate sales. The categories are influenced primarily by legislation and
court decisions addressing the handling of the disclosures and due diligence
investigations in the marketing of properties
The three categories of purchase agreements are for:
• one-to-four unit residential property sales transactions;
• other than one-to-four unit residential property sales transactions,
such as for residential and commercial income properties and owner-
occupied business/farming properties; and
• land acquisition transactions.
Within each category of purchase agreement, several variations exist.
The variations cater to the specialized use of some properties, the diverse
arrangements for payment of the price, and to the specific conditions which
affect a property, particularly within the one-to-four unit residential property
category.
Purchase agreement variations for one-to-four unit residential sales
transactions include purchase agreements for:
• negotiating the conventional financing of the purchase price [See

• negotiating a short sale [See RPI Form 150-1];
• negotiating a cash to new or existing mortgage, or a seller carryback

Chapter 27
Gender and Media: Content, Uses, and Impact
Dara N. Greenwood and Julia R. Lippman
Although research offers compelling evidence to suggest that men and women are far more simi-
lar than they are different across a wide variety of domains, our perceptions of gender difference
can lead us to believe that men and women do inhabit distinct gendered universes and can trigger
self-fulfilling prophecies that confirm these expectations. These perceptions can even guide how aca-
demics choose to interpret the research literature. Hyde’s (2005) review of 46 meta-analyses supports
a “gender similarities hypothesis,” namely, the magnitude of gender differences across these studies
as measured by effect size is small or negligible in over three quarters of the cases assessed. Put
differently, a “small” effect size (i.e., d < 0.35; Hyde, 2005) means that 85% of the distributions for
women and men overlap. This is not to say that a 15% difference in distributions is an insignificant
percentage, but it certainly illustrates that emphasizing difference to the exclusion of similarity paints
an inaccurate picture. Further, where moderate or large gender differences did emerge, they were
often the product of social context. For example, women are more likely than men to smile when
they know they are being observed (LaFrance, Hecht, & Paluck, 2003, as cited in Hyde, 2005). The
latter finding suggests that a given social situation may be of paramount importance in the apparent
differences between men and women.
The social environment can influence the manifestation of present attitudes and behaviors, but
it is also a powerful shaping force throughout the lifespan. In their discussion of a social cognitive
approach to gender development, Bussey and Bandura (2004) suggested that the mass media, in
addition to ongoing input from parents and peers, offer a “pervasive cultural modeling of gender
roles” (p. 108). It is not just children who assimilate cultural models, however; research on the
phenomenon of “possible selves” (Markus & Nurius, 1986) suggests that over the course of our
lives, we continue to draw hoped for as well as feared selves from “the categories made salient by the
individual’s particular sociocultural and historical context and from the models, images, and symbols
provided by the media and by the individual’s immediate social experiences” (p. 954, emphasis
added).
So how does the media environment contribute to our gendered perceptions and experiences?
With a few exceptions, the basic cognitive and emotional processes by which media exert an impact
tend to be similar for both men and women. The most robust gender differences exist at the level
of media representation and content and the selective exposure patterns that are, in part, a response
to gender-typed content. In order to understand how media affect women and men, it is crucial first
to understand systematic gender differences in media content, as well as any gender difference.
CHAPTER 25Arab Unity and Disunity (since 1967)THE CRIS.docx
CHAPTER 25
Arab Unity and Disunity (since 1967)
THE CRISIS OF 1973
'Abd al-Nasir lived for three years after his defeat. His position in the
world had been badly shaken by it; his relationships with the United States
and Britain were soured by his accusation and belief that they had helped
Israel militarily during the war, and by the American insistence that Israel
would withdraw from conquered territories only in return for peace. His
position in regard to other Arab rulers was weakened as the limitations of
his power became clear. One immediate result of the war of 1967 was that
he cut his losses in Yemen, and made an agreement with Saudi Arabia by
which his forces were withdrawn.
Inside Egypt, however, his position was still strong. At the end of the
fateful week in June 1967 he announced his resignation, but this aroused
widespread protests in Egypt and some other Arab countries, perhaps
because of skilful organization, but perhaps because of a feeling that his
resignation would be a deeper defeat and humiliation. His hold over
popular sentiment in other Arab countries also remained strong. Both
because of his own stature and because of the recognized position of Egypt,
he was the indispensable broker between the Palestinians and those among
whom they lived. In the years after 1967, the growth of Palestinian national
feeling and the increasing strength of Fatah, which controlled the PLO
from 1969, led to a number of incidents of guerilla action against Israel,
and Israeli reprisals against the lands where the Palestinians had some
freedom of action. In 1969, Egyptian intervention brought about an
agreement between the Lebanese government and the PLO, which set the
limits within which the PLO would be free to operate in southern Lebanon.
In the next year, 1970, severe fighting broke out in Jordan between the
army and Palestinian guerilla groups which seemed on the point of taking
over power in the country. The Jordanian government was able to impose
416
ARAB UNITY AND DISUNITY (SINCE 1967)
its authority and end the freedom of action of the Palestinian groups, and
once more it was the mediation of 'Abd al-Nasir which made peace between
them.
Immediately after this, 'Abd al-Nasir suddenly died. The extraordinary
scenes at his funeral, with millions weeping in the streets, certainly meant
something; at least for the moment, it was difficult to imagine Egypt or the
Arab world without him. His death was the end of an era of hope for an
Arab world united and made new.
'Abd al-Nasir was succeeded by a colleague of long standing, Anwar
Sadat (19 1 8-81). It seemed, at first, that Egypt would continue as before.
In other Arab countries, too, changes in 1969 and 1970 brought to power
people who seemed likely to follow a policy roughly similar to Nasirism or
at least consistent with it. In Morocco and Tunisia, it is true, there was no
basic change at this time; King Hasan and those around him, and Bourguiba

Chapter 3Linking IT to Business Metrics From the first time IT.docx
Chapter 3
Linking IT to Business Metrics
From the first time IT started making a significant dent in corporate balance sheets, the holy grail of academics, consultants, and business and IT managers has been to show that what a company spends on IT has a direct impact on its performance. Early efforts to do this, such as those trying to link various measures of IT input (e.g., budget dollars, number of PCs, number of projects) with various measures of business performance (e.g., profit, productivity, stock value) all failed to show any relationship at all (Marchand et al. 2000). Since then, everyone has prop- erly concluded that the relationship between what is done in IT and what happens in the business is considerably more complex than these studies first supposed. In fact, many researchers would suggest that the relationship is so filtered through a variety of “conversion effects” (Cronk and Fitzgerald 1999) as to be practically impossible to demonstrate. Most IT managers would agree. They have long argued that technology is not the major stumbling block to achieving business performance; it is the business itself—the processes, the managers, the culture, and the skills—that makes the differ- ence. Therefore, it is simply not realistic to expect to see a clear correlation between IT and business performance at any level. When technology is successful, it is a team effort, and the contributions of the IT and business components of an initiative cannot and should not be separated.
Nevertheless, IT expenditures must be justified. Thus, most companies have concentrated on determining the “business value” that specific IT projects deliver. By focusing on a goal that matters to business (e.g., better information, faster transaction processing, reduced staff), then breaking this goal down into smaller projects that IT can affect directly, they have tried to “peel the onion” and show specifically how IT delivers value in a piecemeal fashion. Thus, a series of surrogate measures are usually used to demonstrate IT’s impact in an organization. (See Chapter 1 for more details.)
More recently, companies are taking another look at business performance met- rics and IT. They believe it is time to “put the onion back together” and focus on what

Assignment 2.2: Justification Report - Part 2
Due Week 5 and worth 150 points
In Part 1 of your Justification Report assignment, you built up the following sections: Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods. In Part 2, you will revise Part 1 based on your instructor's suggestions and add to it the following sections: Evaluation of Alternatives, Findings and Analysis, and References.
Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:
· Evaluation of Alternatives (for Questions 1-3)
· Findings and Analysis (for Questions 4-5)
· References (for Question 6)
Write a two (2) page, single-spaced report in which you:
1. Research the two (2) alternatives (i.e. possible solutions) that you've identified in your Part 1 Evaluation of Alternatives section. Record bibliographic information during research.
a. Example: You might research other organizations that have attempted similar solutions to the problem you have identified and explore the results of those experiments.
2. Use what you discover in your research to evaluate each alternative by each of your five (5) criteria.
a. Example: If your research revealed that four companies similar to yours increased productivity after allowing their workers to telework from home three days per week, you might conclude that one of your suggested alternatives – in this case, the option to telework from home three days per week – satisfies one of your criterion of “Productivity” as a high-potential solution to a problem you’ve identified (of decreased worker morale and productivity at Doe’s Electronics). However, additional research might frustrate a recommendation of this alternative if it is found to fall short of other criteria while a second alternative fares better. For instance, a telework alternative might be found to be too costly to implement; too frustrating for consumers who prefer daily, in-person customer service; or too divergent from the company’s brand, “Always there for you!”�
3. Organize the assignment by your criteria. Explain in narrative form how each of your two (2) alternatives stacks up against your first criterion. Next, explain how each alternative stacks up against your second criterion, etc.
a. Example: An abbreviated outline of what this longer section might look like based on the above example is below (Note: Only the first two [2] of five [5] required criteria are included to give you a feel for the structure). Your researched findings, represented as circled bullets below, should be explained in two to five (2-5) sentences. Include in-text citations and follow up with References in APA style):

all
system components, as some may be relatively healthy while others are problematic.
For this Assignment, you apply systems theory to the examination of a problem in a department or a unit within a health care organization. (
Note:
You may use the same problem you identified for the Discussion as long as it meets the criteria for this assignment.)
To prepare:
Review the Meyer article, “Nursing Services Delivery Theory: An Open System Approach,” in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus especially on the information presented in
Table 1 (p. 2831) and Figure 2 (p. 2833).
Reflect on your organization or one with which you are familiar (
Refer to the first discussion you did for me, My organization is a hospital University of Maryland Medical center
) . Within a particular department or unit in this organization, identify a problem the staff is encountering.
Using Table 1 in the Meyer article as a guide, analyze the department or unit, identifying inputs, throughput, output, cycles of events, and negative feedback. Consider whether the problem you have selected relates to input, throughput, output, cycles of events, and/or negative feedback.
Think about how you could address the problem: Consider what a desired outcome would be, then formulate related goals and objectives, and translate those goals into policies and procedures.
Research professional standards that are pertinent to your identified problem.
Reflect on the organization’s mission statement and values. In addition, consider how addressing this problem would uphold the mission and values, while improving the organizational culture and climate. (Depending on the organization you have selected, you may have explored these in the Week 1 Discussion.)

Evidenced-based communication skills, change processes, and interventions to guide work in field experience:
I am using Lewin’s theory of planned change to guide the change process in this field experience rotation. The first stage of Lewin’s theory is the unfreezing phase whereby a change agent recognizes a problem, identifies the need for change, and determines the differences between the current and desired state (Shirey, 2013). The second stage is the moving phase which involves viewing the change as a process rather than a single event (Shirey, 2013). The change agent creates a solid plan for change, ideally consisting of actionable items that engage people to attempt the proposed change (Shirey, 2013). Finally, the refreezing phase involves solidifying the process(es) and creating policies such that the change becomes the new normal (Shirey, 2013).

The review examines how firm size, complexity, industries and other factors influence adoption of ERM. Larger, more diversified and complex firms tend to implement ERM more due to greater needs and resources. While ERM provides benefits, some studies note its challenges for internationally diversified companies. Overall the review aims to understand what drives ERM adoption and identify the value it creates within different organizational structures.
Discussion 2 Managing Conflict in the WorkplaceHigh-pressure en.docx
Discussion 2: Managing Conflict in the Workplace
High-pressure environments, life-or-death implications, constant change, and long days of exhausting work … It is not surprising that conflicts arise in health care settings. In the fast-paced environment in which nurses work, small differences in decision making, processes, work ethic, and personal characteristics can quickly escalate
As a nurse manager, you need to develop and model skills that effectively address conflict situations. Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, offers sound advice that can be applied to conflict management and resolution. In Habit 4, Think Win-Win, Covey (2004) explains, “[m]any people think in terms of either/or: either you’re nice or you’re tough. Win-win requires that you be both. It is a balancing act between courage and consideration.” Ultimately, how you manage conflict in your setting will determine whether you foster an environment that breeds contempt or one that fosters growth.
Conflict abounds in any workplace; it is a normal part of organizational life. Instead of avoiding or ignoring conflict, the role of the nurse manager is to coach employees through conflict situations and to exercise judgment on how and when to intervene. When managed effectively and focused on substantive issues, conflict can actually lead to better outcomes. However, when interpersonal conflicts go unaddressed, employee morale and engagement–two factors that can seriously impact quality of patient care—will dwindle.
When nurse managers observe employees engaging in toxic or inappropriate workplace behaviors, they must prepare to give difficult feedback. Delivering difficult feedback can be challenging for nurse managers, as they must address employees in a way that is authoritative, supportive, and resolute. One strategy nurse managers can use to deliver difficult feedback is to employ the scripting framework. In this week’s Discussion, you gain experience with using the scripting framework to resolve a conflict situation that you have observed in your past or present workplace.
To prepare
Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the various forms of conflict that can occur in the workplace.
Consider the types of conflict, including bullying, horizontal violence, toxic and disruptive employees, misuse of social media, unbalanced power, harassment, and favoritism, that exist in your current organization or past place of employment.
Select one type of conflict you have observed. How has conflict impacted your work environment? How have nurse mangers attempted to address conflict situations?
Examine the six-step scripting framework for delivering difficult feedback in Chapter 7 of the course text, From Management to Leadership: Strategies for Transforming Health Care. Then, use this framework to script a conversation between you and the employee(s) involved in the conflict situation you selected.
When drafting your script, reflect on how H.

A newcomer’s entry as a real estate agent into the vocation of soliciting and
negotiating real estate transactions typically begins with the marketing and
locating of single family residences (SFRs) as a seller’s agent or a buyer’s agent
(also known as listing agents or selling agents, respectively).
Other properties an agent might work with include:
• one-to-four unit residential properties;
• apartments;
• commercial income properties (office buildings, commercial units and
industrial space);
• agricultural property; or
• unimproved parcels of land.
For real estate sales conveying ownership of a property, the primary

is a purchase agreement form. Different types of properties each require
a different variety of purchase agreement. Various purchase agreement
comprise provisions necessary to negotiate the sale of a particular type of
property.
Three basic categories of purchase agreements exist for the documentation of
real estate sales. The categories are influenced primarily by legislation and
court decisions addressing the handling of the disclosures and due diligence
investigations in the marketing of properties
The three categories of purchase agreements are for:
• one-to-four unit residential property sales transactions;
• other than one-to-four unit residential property sales transactions,
such as for residential and commercial income properties and owner-
occupied business/farming properties; and
• land acquisition transactions.
Within each category of purchase agreement, several variations exist.
The variations cater to the specialized use of some properties, the diverse
arrangements for payment of the price, and to the specific conditions which
affect a property, particularly within the one-to-four unit residential property
category.
Purchase agreement variations for one-to-four unit residential sales
transactions include purchase agreements for:
• negotiating the conventional financing of the purchase price [See
Figure 1, RPI Form 150 ];
• negotiating a short sale [See RPI Form 150-1];
• negotiating a cash to new or existing mortgage, or a seller carryback

Chapter 27
Gender and Media: Content, Uses, and Impact
Dara N. Greenwood and Julia R. Lippman
Although research offers compelling evidence to suggest that men and women are far more simi-
lar than they are different across a wide variety of domains, our perceptions of gender difference
can lead us to believe that men and women do inhabit distinct gendered universes and can trigger
self-fulfilling prophecies that confirm these expectations. These perceptions can even guide how aca-
demics choose to interpret the research literature. Hyde’s (2005) review of 46 meta-analyses supports
a “gender similarities hypothesis,” namely, the magnitude of gender differences across these studies
as measured by effect size is small or negligible in over three quarters of the cases assessed. Put
differently, a “small” effect size (i.e., d < 0.35; Hyde, 2005) means that 85% of the distributions for
women and men overlap. This is not to say that a 15% difference in distributions is an insignificant
percentage, but it certainly illustrates that emphasizing difference to the exclusion of similarity paints
an inaccurate picture. Further, where moderate or large gender differences did emerge, they were
often the product of social context. For example, women are more likely than men to smile when
they know they are being observed (LaFrance, Hecht, & Paluck, 2003, as cited in Hyde, 2005). The
latter finding suggests that a given social situation may be of paramount importance in the apparent
differences between men and women.
The social environment can influence the manifestation of present attitudes and behaviors, but
it is also a powerful shaping force throughout the lifespan. In their discussion of a social cognitive
approach to gender development, Bussey and Bandura (2004) suggested that the mass media, in
addition to ongoing input from parents and peers, offer a “pervasive cultural modeling of gender
roles” (p. 108). It is not just children who assimilate cultural models, however; research on the
phenomenon of “possible selves” (Markus & Nurius, 1986) suggests that over the course of our
lives, we continue to draw hoped for as well as feared selves from “the categories made salient by the
individual’s particular sociocultural and historical context and from the models, images, and symbols
provided by the media and by the individual’s immediate social experiences” (p. 954, emphasis
added).
So how does the media environment contribute to our gendered perceptions and experiences?
With a few exceptions, the basic cognitive and emotional processes by which media exert an impact
tend to be similar for both men and women. The most robust gender differences exist at the level
of media representation and content and the selective exposure patterns that are, in part, a response
to gender-typed content. In order to understand how media affect women and men, it is crucial first
to understand systematic gender differences in media content, as well as any gender difference.
CHAPTER 25Arab Unity and Disunity (since 1967)THE CRIS.docx
CHAPTER 25
Arab Unity and Disunity (since 1967)
THE CRISIS OF 1973
'Abd al-Nasir lived for three years after his defeat. His position in the
world had been badly shaken by it; his relationships with the United States
and Britain were soured by his accusation and belief that they had helped
Israel militarily during the war, and by the American insistence that Israel
would withdraw from conquered territories only in return for peace. His
position in regard to other Arab rulers was weakened as the limitations of
his power became clear. One immediate result of the war of 1967 was that
he cut his losses in Yemen, and made an agreement with Saudi Arabia by
which his forces were withdrawn.
Inside Egypt, however, his position was still strong. At the end of the
fateful week in June 1967 he announced his resignation, but this aroused
widespread protests in Egypt and some other Arab countries, perhaps
because of skilful organization, but perhaps because of a feeling that his
resignation would be a deeper defeat and humiliation. His hold over
popular sentiment in other Arab countries also remained strong. Both
because of his own stature and because of the recognized position of Egypt,
he was the indispensable broker between the Palestinians and those among
whom they lived. In the years after 1967, the growth of Palestinian national
feeling and the increasing strength of Fatah, which controlled the PLO
from 1969, led to a number of incidents of guerilla action against Israel,
and Israeli reprisals against the lands where the Palestinians had some
freedom of action. In 1969, Egyptian intervention brought about an
agreement between the Lebanese government and the PLO, which set the
limits within which the PLO would be free to operate in southern Lebanon.
In the next year, 1970, severe fighting broke out in Jordan between the
army and Palestinian guerilla groups which seemed on the point of taking
over power in the country. The Jordanian government was able to impose
416
ARAB UNITY AND DISUNITY (SINCE 1967)
its authority and end the freedom of action of the Palestinian groups, and
once more it was the mediation of 'Abd al-Nasir which made peace between
them.
Immediately after this, 'Abd al-Nasir suddenly died. The extraordinary
scenes at his funeral, with millions weeping in the streets, certainly meant
something; at least for the moment, it was difficult to imagine Egypt or the
Arab world without him. His death was the end of an era of hope for an
Arab world united and made new.
'Abd al-Nasir was succeeded by a colleague of long standing, Anwar
Sadat (19 1 8-81). It seemed, at first, that Egypt would continue as before.
In other Arab countries, too, changes in 1969 and 1970 brought to power
people who seemed likely to follow a policy roughly similar to Nasirism or
at least consistent with it. In Morocco and Tunisia, it is true, there was no
basic change at this time; King Hasan and those around him, and Bourguiba

Chapter 3Linking IT to Business Metrics From the first time IT.docx
Chapter 3
Linking IT to Business Metrics
From the first time IT started making a significant dent in corporate balance sheets, the holy grail of academics, consultants, and business and IT managers has been to show that what a company spends on IT has a direct impact on its performance. Early efforts to do this, such as those trying to link various measures of IT input (e.g., budget dollars, number of PCs, number of projects) with various measures of business performance (e.g., profit, productivity, stock value) all failed to show any relationship at all (Marchand et al. 2000). Since then, everyone has prop- erly concluded that the relationship between what is done in IT and what happens in the business is considerably more complex than these studies first supposed. In fact, many researchers would suggest that the relationship is so filtered through a variety of “conversion effects” (Cronk and Fitzgerald 1999) as to be practically impossible to demonstrate. Most IT managers would agree. They have long argued that technology is not the major stumbling block to achieving business performance; it is the business itself—the processes, the managers, the culture, and the skills—that makes the differ- ence. Therefore, it is simply not realistic to expect to see a clear correlation between IT and business performance at any level. When technology is successful, it is a team effort, and the contributions of the IT and business components of an initiative cannot and should not be separated.
Nevertheless, IT expenditures must be justified. Thus, most companies have concentrated on determining the “business value” that specific IT projects deliver. By focusing on a goal that matters to business (e.g., better information, faster transaction processing, reduced staff), then breaking this goal down into smaller projects that IT can affect directly, they have tried to “peel the onion” and show specifically how IT delivers value in a piecemeal fashion. Thus, a series of surrogate measures are usually used to demonstrate IT’s impact in an organization. (See Chapter 1 for more details.)
More recently, companies are taking another look at business performance met- rics and IT. They believe it is time to “put the onion back together” and focus on what

Data Communications and Networking
Learning Objectives
After studying this chapter you should be able to:
• identify the five components of a telecommunications network,
• distinguish between terminals and workstations,
• explain the various types of transmission links, including physical and “through
the air” links,
• differentiate between alternative transmission methods such as analog and digital
transmission, circuit switching and packet switching,
• describe in general terms the functioning of line sharing devices and switches,
• explain the role of network architecture and standards,
• explain the OSI telecommunications model,
• distinguish between local area networks and wide area networks,
• describe alternative computer network configurations including ring, star, and bus
networks,
• understand the various types of wide area networks, including the options for
centralized data processing networks and distributed data processing networks,
• explain the concept of a client/server system,
• understand the architecture and functioning of the Internet,

computers. These personal computers made it possible to maximize individual
productivity. However, most current hardware and software technological developments
have been aimed at maximizing group productivity. Increasingly, personal computers
are networked together to enable communication between users and to facilitate
sharing of data and resources. This chapter is aimed at providing a basic understanding
of a range of telecommunications concepts including local area and wide area networks.
We also discuss some recent communications technologies affecting business such as
client/server systems, the Internet, and electronic data interchange. Almost all
computer systems in organizations today are networked, and these networked
computer systems invariably house a wealth of accounting information. It is therefore
important for accountants to have a working knowledge of data communications and
networking concepts.
Telecommunications concepts
Telecommunications refers to the electronic transmission of information from a point of
origin to a point of destination. A telecommunications network is composed of five
components: (1) terminals and workstations, (2) transmission links, (3) tra.
Chapter 3 The APA Ethics Code and Ethical Decision MakingThe APA.docx
Chapter 3 The APA Ethics Code and Ethical Decision Making
The APA’s Ethics Code provides a set of aspirational principles and behavioral rules written broadly to apply to psychologists’ varied roles and the diverse contexts in which the science and practice of psychology are conducted. The five aspirational principles described in Chapter 2 represent the core values of the discipline of psychology that guide members in recognizing in broad terms the moral rightness or wrongness of an act. As an articulation of the universal moral values intrinsic to the discipline, the aspirational principles are intended to inspire right actions but do not specify what those actions might be. The ethical standards that will be discussed in later chapters of this book are concerned with specific behaviors that reflect the application of these moral principles to the work of psychologists in specific settings and with specific populations. In their everyday activities, psychologists will find many instances in which familiarity with and adherence to specific Ethical Standards provide adequate foundation for ethical actions. There will also be many instances in which (a) the means by which to comply with a standard are not readily apparent, (b) two seemingly competing standards appear equally appropriate, (c) application of a single standard or set of standards appears consistent with one aspirational principle but inconsistent with another, or (d) a judgment is required to determine whether exemption criteria for a particular standard are met.
The Ethics Code is not a formula for solving these ethical challenges. Psychologists are not moral technocrats simply working their way through a decision tree of ethical rules. Rather, the Ethics Code provides psychologists with a set of aspirations and broad general rules of conduct that psychologists must interpret and apply as a function of the unique scientific and professional roles and relationships in which they are embedded. Successful application of the principles and standards of the Ethics Code involves a conception of psychologists as active moral agents committed to the good and just practice and science of psychology. Ethical decision making thus involves a commitment to applying the Ethics Code and other legal and professional standards to construct rather than simply discover solutions to ethical quandaries (APA, 2012f).
This chapter discusses the ethical attitudes and decision-making strategies that can help psychologists prepare for, identify, and resolve ethical challenges as they continuously emerge and evolve in the dynamic discipline of psychology. An opportunity to apply these strategies is provided in the cases at the end of each chapter and the 10 case studies presented in Appendix A.
Ethical Commitment and Virtues
The development of a dynamic set of ethical standards for psychologists’ work-related conduct requires a personal commitment and lifelong effort to act ethically; to encourage ethical.

CHAPTER 3the story of the slave ship, the Zong- in Novembe.docx
CHAPTER 3
the story of the slave ship, the Zong:
- in November of 1781, after 3 months at sea the Zong was nearing the ‘New World’ from the western coast of Africa
- had started with 471 African individuals intended for the slave trade
- fresh water was very low and disease had broken out
- in accordance with the ‘economics’ of the slave trade and the norms of the time, the slaves were considered ‘cargo’ – no different from livestock
- the ‘cargo’ had been insured at the beginning of the trip
— slaves that died of natural causes (lack of water, disease) would not be covered by the insurance
— however, if the slaves died from being thrown overboard while still alive, the ship owners’ insurance would cover the lose
— hoping to save water and reduce the spread of disease, 54 sick slaves were chained together and thrown overboard
— over 2 days, more live slaves were thrown overboard (total: 132 persons)
at 1st the insurance company was going to pay, but a new freed slave, Equiano (living free in England now) made an abolitionist aware and a new trial determined the slaves were people, not cargo or livestock and the ship owners did not get the insurance
foundations of US
- beginning in 1600s and through 1700s the US is an agricultural society
- land and labor are needed
- to get land and labor 3 groups were made into minority status
— these groups joined the colonies, then the US through colonization
— these 3 groups are still having problems today (Native American, African American, Hispanic/Mexican American)
two themes throughout this text
1) what the current subsistence technology is for a specific time period) (impacts majority – minority relations at that time (subsistence technology: how a society provides for basic goods, services (shelter, food, water) for its people) (see table)
what’s important
hunting / gathering / foraging
human energy
little stratification
- dependent of what nature provides
agriculture
human energy and animal energy
- more surplus
- increased stratification
- majority / minority relationship is likely to be patriarchal
- land ownership
- cheap, easily controllable workforce
industrialization
addition of other energy sources, culminating in electricity
- even more surplus
- even more stratification
- capital to build factories, buy machinery and raw materials, pay workers
post industrialization / information
electricity
human energy
- high stratification
education
2) what the contact situation is when 2 or more groups first make contact (impacts majority – minority relations at the time and later)
the initial contact situation
- application of the Noel and Blauner Hypotheses
- they are not mutually exclusive; they look at similar, overlapping issues
- much can be learned by applying both hypotheses
— Noel hypothesis
Noel Hypotheses
at contact
conditions
result
Noel
Two or more groups come together
if the following conditions exist
- ethnocentrism
- competition
- power differential among the groups
