Abstract
The paper discusses French and Raven's taxonomy of five power sources available for gaining compliance: Coercive power, reward-based power, legitimate power, expert power and referent power. The paper defines each kind of power, giving examples from laboratory studies, advertising, corporate theory and gender-based linguistic studies. The paper includes a discussion not only on the ways of obtaining power, but also on the forms of resistance to that power.
From the Paper
"Perhaps the most obvious definitionally and the crudest method in Raven?s taxonomy would be that of coercive power. Simply put, coercive power is the capacity to dispense punishments to those who do not comply with requests or demands. Consider, for instance, one of the most famous experiments ever conducted dealing with the exercise of power. In the study conducted by Stanley Milgram, subjects were recruited from ?a broad spectrum of socioeconomic and educational levels? to participate in a study of ?memory.? The subjects were then put into pairs, a teacher and a learner. The learner had to administer punishment through the use of electroshocks whenever the subject answered incorrectly. Of course, the learner was really a plant, a psychology student provided by Milgram. But the individual administering the punishment did not know that. So far as he or she knew, he or she had the ability to administer coercive power. Much to the shock and horror of the public when Milgram made his findings known, the ?teachers? did so to the point where the ?learners? protested that the shocks were becoming painful. This transpired as the level of electricity rose to 120 volts, then to 180 volts, to 300 where the subject demanded release, then to 330, when the learner became silent. (The actor playing the role of the experimenter told the subjects they had to go on, that there was no permanent tissue damage being done to the learners, and that he took ?full responsibility.?) Sixty-five percent of Milgram?s subjects conducted the experiment to the bitter end."

Abstract
The research paper examines different strategies that are being used within communities in order to determine the most successful ones in increasing the amount of patients who adhere and complete the treatment plan and therefore decrease the level of tuberculosis (TB) infection. The paper explores the reasons behind non-compliance with treatment and shows how successful strategies attempted to take a multi-faceted approach, addressing issues such as supervision,
economic factors, social support, drug availability, healthcare set-up and others. The paper includes a literature review as an appendix to the paper.

Appendix: Literature Review
From the Paper
"Tuberculosis remains a significant cause of mortality in sub-Saharan Africa, a situation which is exacerbated due to the association of TB as an opportunistic infection of HIV. Despite there having been treatment programmes in place in many areas of Africa for a number of years there remain a large number of deaths from the disease partially due to poor adherence rates to the treatment programmes available. There has been a large amount of literature published which discusses the factors which may impact on adherence to these treatment programmes, and some which evaluates strategies to improve adherence."

Abstract
This paper explains that the ultimate irony for the United States' passing of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and similar acts is that this type of legislation is fueling an entire IT industry that is called upon to deliver both compliance and business process improvement. The author points out that a service-oriented architecture (SOA) platform is the best practice for line-of-business managers, who want to get the most critical information to the sales, service and pricing managers, and still remain in compliance. The paper relates that the greatest motivator for the development of compliance programs and governance in IT management has not been top-line revenue growth but rather having an air-tight set of financial records when Sarbanes-Oxley auditors arrive to look over transactions
From the Paper
"Keeping in mind that the majority of IT professionals prefer to view their IT platforms from the context of layered model that has a strong focus on integration and pervasive layers of functionality, and the role of an all encompassing layer of analytics begins to take hold. This alone however does not completely negate the issue of the politicization and siloing of information. What analytics layers do however is force the issue of performance from just within one organization and shows the impacts (or lack thereof) of collaboration across the organization."

Abstract
An explanation of hypertension and the failure to achieve compliance with anti-hypertensive therapy. The paper begins by explaining that hypertension is associated with many factors that have been found to reduce compliance. Factors that reduce compliance to anti-hypertensive therapy include patient and disease characteristics and treatment characteristics. The paper then shows what solutions can be provided by the medical care facility to improve the treatment. The paper includes many direct quotes from medical journals and offers details of the various treatments and therapies available.
From the Paper
"The 1988-1991 Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES-III) found that only about one-half of hypertensive patients in the United States are being treated and less than one-half of those being treated have their blood pressure well controlled (below 140/90 mmHg). A major reason for this shortfall is lack of patient compliance with therapy. This problem persists even though individual programs have shown excellent adherence to and results from both non drug and drug regimens."

Abstract
This paper examines how the violation of the Constitution of the United States, which is formally termed as ?non-compliance?, has been seen throughout the history of the United States and how, specifically, it has occurred during times of war during civil disturbances, with the use of extrajudicial force used to supercede the ordinary process of law. It looks at how one such instance occurred during the Civil War and how the violations, which have occurred during the ?War on Terrorism?, are some of the most blatant violations of constitutional ideals and principles ever witnessed.

Abstract
This paper explains that compliance, or taking the right amount of the prescribed medicine at the right time, has emerged in recent years as a most significant, costly and serious problem in the healthcare industry. The author stresses that the current state of research is lacking in this area, and additional research is needed to examine thoroughly the problem and to implement a successful solution. The paper relates that the purpose of the study is to enable physicians to monitor effectively and to control medication compliance by enabling patients to remember what the physician considers most important and what will have the most significant impact on their health; questionnaires will be used to gather data.

From the Paper
"Existing research indicates that many factors are involved in patient non-adherence. These factors are related to the characteristics of the disease, medication side effects, duration of treatment, frequency of expected intake, complexity of treatment, and severity of the disease. Research also indicates that patients are less likely to continue their medication regimen over long periods and are less likely to be adherent when the daily doses increase from 1 pill to 4 pills (Gottlieb, 2000). In a study of patients who had seizures, those who were required to take only 1 pill a day showed 81 percent adherence rates, those who were required to take 3 pills a day adhered 77 percent of the time, and those who were required to take 4 doses a day showed adherence rates of 39 percent."

Abstract
This paper discusses the formulation of a unified purchasing strategy for a given organization. Particular emphasis is given to the integration of a statement of work (SOW) into the unified purchasing strategy in a way that ensures both optimum performance and contractor compliance. Additionally, the SOW should be organized around a performance orientation and the entire purchasing strategy needs to be integrated into the business strategy of the organization itself.
From the Paper
"Purchasing strategies should, ideally, be linked to overall corporate strategy and organizational objectives as they are outlined by the enterprise's executive leadership. The implication is that purchasing strategies are a component of overall strategy development and not simply tasks that are left to low-level management to simply figure out. The corporate mechanisms that should be utilized to develop purchasing strategies that match these formulaic criteria are use of a steering committee that would outline the project management oriented research, benchmarks and milestones involved in the process as well as formulate a definitive set of objectives (Lowson, 2002)."

Tuberculosis and Compliance with Medical Protocols, 2002.
A paper which discusses the forced detention of tuberculosis sufferers and the urgency for a solution to be found to the problem of non-compliance with medical protocols.

Abstract
The paper shows that most tuberculosis sufferers are homeless or substance abusers and by not complying with medical protocols on TB treatment, they are endangering the general public. The paper questions the right of the State to detain these people by force in an attempt to protect the public, and further outlines a research proposal designed to determine how medical professionals could better work with patients to produce a higher level of compliance with medical protocols for the treatment of tuberculosis.
From the Paper
"People often have very good reasons for being non-compliant, and in fact their non-compliance often results from the failure of medical staff to be empathetic towards their problems. One reason, for example, that people fail to comply with drug protocols is due to side effects. Medical staff who do not adequately explain the severity of possible side effects, who do not express concern for the patient?s experience with these side effects, and who do not treat these side effects as effectively and vigorously as possible are themselves contributing to non-compliance in those patients. This is clearly part of the process of treatment in which nurse?s behavior can be changed and the effects of these changes studied."

Corporate Compliance on a Personal Level, 2008.
A look at the changes in corporate compliance laws.

Abstract
This paper explores the changes in corporate compliance brought about by the enactment of The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The paper relates that both of these comprehensive legislative initiatives were brought about by infamous events in American Corporate history, and were aimed at preventing such corporate transgressions in the future. They brought personal liability for the actions of the corporation to its directors, officers and management.
From the Paper
"The corporate veil was a thick impenetrable barrier that protected Officers, Directors, Management and shareholders from personal liability from the acts of the corporation. The immunity granted by the legislative progenitors of these modern day immortals are now chipping away at the corporate shield, and have created large holes where the long arms of personal liability can now reach. As with all things political, seminal events brought about these fundamental changes in corporate law. The pollution scandal of Love Canal brought about The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), among other provisions brought about criminal liability to Officers and Management for willful violations (Darragh, 1997, n.p.). The corporate financial scandals associated with the "Dot Bomb" era of the late 1990's resulted in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, establishing personal liability to the corporate officers in the reporting of financial data to the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) (Hein, Neimeth, Rosner & Watts, 2002, n.p.). The spectacular misdeeds of a very few in the corporate world brought about increase personal liability and risk to those that run corporations in America."

Abstract
This essay explains the difference between Error Management and Safety Compliance in aviation accidents. Error Management, it is argued, provides a greater likelihood for proactive outcomes when errors due occur. Because errors and accidents are impossible to eliminate, EM is premised on a complex information gathering system that allows those involved in accidents to better understand what happened. It creates a more intervention-focused environment for crew, and avoids issues of blame and punishment, and thus provides the crew with a different responsibility for error prevention.

" EFFECTS OF PATIENT HYPERTENSION EDUCATION ON COMPLIANCE:
A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
Hypertension has been estimated to affect over 15 percent of the general population in North America, and is a leading risk factor for coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure stroke, kidney disease, and retinopathy (Fodor, 1994); in the United States alone, it is estimated that 50 to 60 million people suffer from hypertension (Bittar, 1995). In the past two decades the proportion of treated patients with well-controlled hypertension has increased to over 40 percent; however, one third are either unaware of their condition, or the reduction of blood pressure in those treated is unsatisfactory (Fodor, 1994).
Some hypertensive conditions are considered to be "resistant;" usually such conditions are present when a patient's.."

From the Paper
"The contemporary period is one in which diseases once thought conquered in this country are making strong reappearances, and during which both new diseases and diseases not previously common in this country are becoming significant concerns of health care professionals. The identification and successful treatment of the individuals afflicted by these diseases are important to both the afflicted persons, whose health is directly at risk, and to the broader society, whose health is indirectly at risk."
