Discrimination within Organizations, 2004.
Examines how direct and indirect discrimination can occur within an organization.
1,928 words (approx. 7.7 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 61.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This report identifies ways in which discrimination - both direct and indirect - can present itself in organizations. The current state of a large city-based retail organization shows that currently only 10% of the employees are male, compared with an industry average of 35%. Not only is this not consistent with the industry, but it also falls back on poor HR practices within the organization which could be viewed as discriminatory. The paper shows that good HR and anti-discriminatory practices begin at recruitment, and by improving the advertising, application, and interview process of recruitment we can minimize the chances of possible discrimination against an individual. According to the author, improving the company?s overall complaint and grievance handling procedures and ensuring employees are aware of anti-discrimination legislation and have sufficient supervision will ensure that there is no chance for legal action against the organization.
From the Paper
"Indirect discrimination can only occur if a person is required to meet an unreasonable criterion or condition. An example where the condition which must be met is reasonable is in the case of airline pilots - it is not unreasonable to state that the applicant must not be visually impaired, however it is unreasonable where previously applicants for the police force were required to meet a height requirement."

From the Paper
"Risk assessment has reached a new level of importance in the Information Age. The growth of sophisticated networked information systems and distributed computing has created a potentially dangerous environment for private and public organizations. ?Critical data -- such as from trade secrets, proprietary information, troop movements, sensitive medical records and financial transactions -- flows through these systems? (Hammond 1999:69). Consequently, organizations are becoming increasingly concerned with potential exposure and are looking for ways to evaluate their organization's security profile today. Risk assessment software applications systems allow researchers, managers and others to perform "what if" analyses of the value of their information and various threats and vulnerabilities. For instance, risk assessment software systems such as NetSolar by Cisco, use both passive analysis and active probing methods to identify security vulnerabilities, which may increase the efficiency of vulnerability identification and reduce false-positive results. Hamilton reports that these technical assessments can differentiate between infrastructure devices (routers, switches, or firewalls) and host devices (user workstations or servers such as e-mail servers and Web servers). ?Technical vulnerability tools can find vulnerabilities in network TCP/IP hosts, UNIX hosts, Windows NT hosts, Web servers, mail servers, FTP servers, firewalls, routers and switches? (Hamilton 1999:69)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the four core IT applications through an article on the subject, written by Mahmoud and Rice (1998). According to this paper, the authors take note of a number of applications in the connection between the administrative and the clinical area, suggest how important IT systems can be to improve the delivery of service to the patient, and then consider how widely such systems have been implemented today.
From the Paper
"In healthcare institutions, there are four core IT applications: finance, clinical, outcome management, or human resources. In terms of the outcome management, a report by Mahmoud and Rice (1998) takes note of a number of applications in the connection between the administrative and the clinical area and suggest how important IT systems can be to improve the delivery of service to the patient. The authors note that IT can improve health care service delivery and that IT has a particular role in quality improvement. The authors want to conceptualize the way IT contributes to quality improvement and do so in terms of information usage, classifying information by healthcare institution processes and quality improvement stages. The diagnostic and treatment process is one of the two important processes the authors see at hospitals, and information is used in the process stage and in the outcome stage."

Abstract
In this article, the writer analyzes the basis for genre standardizations that would include both a normative approach and adaptive approach in educational research and application. The writer notes that by realizing the importance of normative genres in language studies, students can better understand how to categorize various issues in writing. However, the writer maintains that these normative standards cannot be so heavily relied upon that they deny new genres of significant importance. In essence, the writer argues that a balanced approach to normative and adaptive genre applications must be adhered to in an effective writing criterion for modern educational perspectives.
From the Paper
"Critics of normative genre approaches in writing provide important arguments that explain why genre studies norms must be provide a form of standardization that must be adhered to. The premise of normative standards is only providing an outline for the growingly diverse set of genre studies that have arisen in the new globalized community. Many more cultural norms and values are being expressed, which reestablish the normative ways in which people think and write. However, the premise of normative genre values is essential for various cultures to establish their cultural identity, which provides the foundation in which to understand other cultures and genre-based evaluations. This perspective is helping teachers to understand the complexities of genre studies. Devitt defines this critical stance in educational standards that is important to realizing why genre categorizations can be dangerous to effective critical thinking, yet they are needed to establish a basis for localized identity issues for the educational scholar.."

Summary and Conclusions
From the Paper
" For many companies today, establishing a presence online has become part and parcel of doing business; however, e-business opportunities and initiatives are frequently regarded as being both risky and challenging, particularly for bricks-and-mortar companies confronting new challenges such as a lack of e-business skills, resistance to process redesign, and the ambiguity associated with changing the information technology (IT) infrastructure of the company (Daghfous and Al-Nahas, 2006). In this regard, Jackson, Harris and Eckersley (2003) emphasize that, "As managers increasingly recognize, the Electronic Age calls into question many established 'good' business practices while also creating new challenges and dilemmas" (p. 4). Likewise, Galagan (2001) cautions, "In such a fast-moving competitive market, there are many ways for companies to take a wrong turn. Bad business models, narrow market niches, low margins, premature entry into a market, and going with the wrong technology have finished off many companies and made others targets for acquisition" (p. 33). In this environment, identifying relevant current e-business theories, real-word applications and the potential for future applications represents a timely endeavor."

From the Paper
"Knowledge acquisition represents a field of artificial intelligence focused on the development of methods, techniques and tools for building expert system knowledge bases. During the 1970s and 1980s, most researchers and practitioners believed that knowledge should be acquired via a process involving a knowledge engineer, who interviews a domain expert regarding the knowledge domain of interest. The knowledge engineer was then responsible for organizing and formalizing the extracted knowledge to the point that it was appropriate for processing by a knowledge-based system. After processing was completed, the extracted knowledge could then be tested by presenting example problems to the knowledge-based system."

Abstract
Overview
VoIP in Commercial Applications
Emergent Technologies
From the Paper
"Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) is not a necessarily new technology or even a revolutionary technology. However, the application of VoIP itself in the corporate and consumer environment, once widely achieved, has the ability to revolutionize the communication industry and the way that both professional and private consumers convey information vis-a-vis the plain old telephone system (POTS). VoIP has its roots in a technology developed during the 1980s called time division multiplexing which divided up bandwidth on a wide area network (WAN) between voice data and traditional data streams(IP, 2003). In essence VoIP is telephone service that employs the backbone of the Internet to replace the traditional switching and signal transportation hardware of normal telephone lines."

The paper provides examples of different power and authority structures and discusses the application of Robert Michel's theories of growth and Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Finally, the paper examines the open type of organizational theory and the motivation of employees.
From the Paper
"The organization I have selected for this project is the retail clothing store New York and Company. This is a growing fashion retailer of mid-priced women's clothing and accessories. Although they are affordable, they offer many current fashion trends and are frequently busy with customers. It was because I was reasonably sure that I would be able to observe this organization in action that I selected them. The store I visited was located at the Tyler Mall where my girl friend is an employee. I elected to visit the store on a Saturday when another large department store located within the mall was having a big sale. I based this decision upon the knowledge that New York and Company usually holds sales of their own in conjunction with sales held at larger retailers. Although the store stayed pretty busy, I was able to get in a conversation with one of the store's employees, the store manager and a frequent customer at the store."
