Abstract
This paper discusses how the accountant in a modern organization must be able to perform many more functions than in the past. Managerial accountants are important in assuring that the organization is on target for meeting strategic goals. It looks at how it is no longer enough to have a basic understanding of receivables, payables and cash flow and how accountants now play an active role in management and decision making. They are responsible for goal setting, forecasting and many other activities that were previously in the realm of management and must consider corporate culture and be able to adapt their techniques to meet specific company needs.
From the Paper
"Corporate culture and accounting used to be two terms that should never occur in the same sentence. Accounting was a separate entity from other systems in the organization. Now accounting is an integral part of every phase of the business including legal, political and social systems within an organization (Shraddha and Sidney, 1997). As the needs of an organization change, so do the accounting system change to meet these changing needs. A modern accountant must be more flexible in practice than in the past. Modern accounting practices must be able to adapt a trait that was not synonymous with accounting in the past. Accounting used to adhere to a rigid set of rules and procedures, but now they must remain flexible and willing to change on short notice. "

Abstract
This paper analyses the concept of "change", theories behind it, why it is necessary and how organizations need to cope with change in order to survive.
From the paper:
"Change requires change. Organizations today are making abundant changes internally to cope with a highly turbulent external environment. With frequent reorganizing, downsizing, rightsizing, delayering, flattening the pyramid, teaming and outsourcing taking place, careers and career opportunities are in pandemonium resulting from the progressive destabilization of relationships between people and organizations."

Abstract
This paper discusses ways in which the workplace is changing. According to the paper, old values of long service and loyalty are being replaced by high productivity, effectiveness and adaptability to changing conditions. The paper discusses how companies have adapted to consumer expectations. Advantages of new technology and flexible work schedules are looked at, as well as the problems. Alternative work schedules such as job share are discussed. The paper concludes that in the light of increasing customer demands, changing expectations, global competition and markets, combined with employee interest in achieving a better and more complete work/life balance, the initial inconvenience of implementation, will be more than offset by gains in productivity and strategic competitiveness.
From the Paper
"In recent years, a combination of factors has led to a paradigm shift related to very basic issues of the nature of work, the workplace, management and employees. The impact of information and communications technology; globalization of markets leading to bigger, more diverse markets and increased competition; and the constant pressure to increase efficiency while reducing costs. To compete effectively, companies are challenged to create new products, maximize efficiencies at the factory and corporate level and increase penetration within existing markets, all the while keeping customers satisfied with high levels of service which may span several time zones. Old values of long service and loyalty are being replaced by high productivity, effectiveness and adaptability to changing conditions."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to identify and track Canada?s perceptions of its changing place in the world as a result of the two world wars, with respect to loyalty and nationalism. Its objective is to link these changing perceptions to broader socio-cultural, economic and political ideas socially and economically. It shows how throughout the course of history, Canada is tracked as at first giving allegiance to Britain, as it was a British colony and how, under the guidance of Mackenzie King, Canada changed course and began to emulate the United States, politically, socially and economically.
From the Paper
"Secondly, Canada was tied to Britain socially?Britain was a supplier of immigrants. Immigrants satisfied a variety of purposes, for example, the transportation of lumber from Canada to Britain was paid for by immigrants??Efficient use of the equipment used for shipping those heavy, bulky wood products eastward across the Atlantic demanded an equivalent cargo in weight and volume pay its way westward? (Zerker 10). While the immigrants provided labour for the British colony, they also facilitated the lumber trade through immigration to Canada, such that the transportation of lumber was paid for. Thus in Canada?s earlier years, Canadian loyalty to Britain increased, since apparently Canada?s well-being depended on Britain's."

Abstract
The paper states that behavior modification is simply learning. The author discusses and compares Pavlovian and Operant conditioning and Positive and Negative Reinforcement. The paper refers to various reinforcement strategies: Systematic desensitization, aversion therapy (reciprocal inhibition) and biofeedback. The author details her experiment using positive reinforcement (buying a CD) to learn new behaviors in regards to caffeine consumption. She noticed problems of physical addiction.
From the Paper
"Pavlovian conditioning is in fact a type of learning. Indeed, it is perhaps the most famously documented type of learning that there is. It is difficult indeed to imagine that there exists a college student anywhere in the Western Hemisphere who has not heard the story of how Ivan Pavlov came up with the idea of teaching his dog to associate the sound of a ringing bell with the introduction of food. (We all know the ending of this story: Pavlov was able to make his dog salivate in anticipation of being fed whenever he heard the meal-time bell ? and even after Pavlov no longer followed up the bell with food the dog continued to salivate for a number of repetitions of the experiment.)
This is the way in which Pavlovian learning always works: An individual (a dog, a human, a chimp ? and even some non-mammalian species) is given a certain stimulus to which it responds consistently."

Abstract
This research examines issues relevant to changing nursing shifts from three eight-hour to two twelve-hour shifts. The research discusses the background and context of such a change and discuss the benefits and strategies associated with instituting this change in a clinical health-care setting.
From the Paper
"In its most general sense, flextime, as it is called, changes starting and ending times of a worker's schedule but retains the same total hours of regular employment (Bank, 1998). advocated from workers' point of view as a method of balancing work and family life, and from employers' point of view as an strategy that can allow an organization to "realize its short-term service and production goals and to reap the low-cost benefits of a contingent work force" (Brown, 1998). Some version of formal or informal flextime is offered by an estimated 85% of all larger organizations. One health-care corporation, CIGNA, has nearly one-third of its 37,000 employees in flexible scheduling arrangements, on the theory that "letting employees work part-time or compressed work weeks with full benefits saves money in the long run by reducing turnover and lowering training and recruitment costs" (Brown, 1998). This line of thought has penetrated organizational and employee staffing structures in clinical settings. However, transformation of traditional work schedules in most clinical nursing settings does not appear to have taken place universally."

Abstract
This paper reveals that many people are deciding to change their career direction after having been employed for some time in the specific area in which they were educated and trained. In addition, the paper discusses a study's findings that determined why people made a career change. Also discussed, is an interview the writer had with an individual who had been willing to take a risk in switching careers and was optimistic that he would be able to succeed. The paper concludes that the number of possible "recyclers" is growing and their needs will have to be addressed. Otherwise, organizations may lose their best talent.
From the Paper
"In the study, 15 individuals were selected who exemplified the authors' definition of recycling. They were from all walks of life whom had taken a job interruption, changed careers, or returned to school to gain further educational possibilities. The researchers conducted interviews with these individuals to gain further information on the fundamental causes and trigger events that caused their career changes. Interview questions were also asked to determine the various personal characteristics of these recyclers, and the reasons why they made job changes, however extensive. "The recycling stage is characterized as a time of possible renewal and career re-direction. Recyclers tend to make major career changes, such as leaving the practice of law to teach high school English, change their thinking about their careers, such as changing their life emphasis from career to family issues or vice versa, or change both their career and life emphasis" (Sullivan et. al, 2003, p.35)."

Abstract
This paper examines and compares of the scholarly articles, ?The Gender and Labor Politics of Postmodernity? by Aihwa Ong and ?Disjuncture and Difference in the Global Cultural Community? by Arjun Appadurai, which both offer perspectives on the impact of the changing global economy. The paper illustrates how each author takes a different view on the same theories; one investigating the industrial regions of Mexico and Asia, and the other provides background information to support the anthropological concepts.
From the Paper
"In ?The Gender and Labor Politics of Postmodernity? Aihwa Ong discusses the situation in the modern industrial work environment, also focusing on the role of women in this environment. Ong argues that there is a gap between what the literature says is happening and what the real experiences of workers are. In the essay, Ong attempts to show what the real situation is by looking at the labor worlds of Asia and Mexico. Ong then argues two main points. Firstly, that ?industrial modes of domination go beyond production relations strictly construed? (Ong 62). Secondly, Ong argues that worker?s struggles against control are based on what Ong calls ?cultural struggle? rather than class struggle."

Abstract
This paper discusses how this phenomenon has been around for centuries; however, only recently is public opinion warming to the idea. It looks at these changing attitudes by the government, the law makers, religious institutions, and society as a whole.
From the Paper
'However, many state and national agencies still have old-fashioned attitudes toward same-sex marriages. For example, the New Jersey Family Policy Council believes that the institution of marriage would be jeopardized if homosexuals were encouraged to wed. "States do have the right to set limits on who is allowed to marry," said Len Deo, the president of the council. The council ignores the fact that changing times always have brought changing attitudes about marriage."
