Abstract
This paper explains that organizations use various methods to motivate their employees, based on three major theories of motivation: satisfaction; incentive; or intrinsic theories. The author points out that organizations generally are reactive rather than proactive when dealing with employees and their grievances. The paper stresses that job enrichment has to be a constant process and has to be communicated effectively to all members in the organization.
From the Paper
"All organizations strive to create an environment of mutual respect, encouragement and teamwork?an environment that rewards commitment and performance. In the current market place, the employers have expectations of the type and nature of work that they expect their employees to perform. In return, the employee expects to earn sufficient money to maintain his or her standard of living, create savings and maintain a retirement plan. An individual also has the same expectations of wealth and personal success that any organization has. An environment, which is responsive to the needs of the employees and their families can also provide a more stable and trust worthy workplace for an employee. Mutual respect, dignity of the individual, and respect by the individual are a few of the methods employed."

Abstract
This paper offers a personal view on time management. The author claims to have utilized traditional or basic time management methods without success. The paper focuses on a nontraditional time management strategies, like scheduling 'down time', communicating with others and keeping a running journal of one's moods.
From the Paper
"The first of these is the need to schedule "down time" when I get to do something that I find personally rewarding, relaxing, or even just to "veg out" and do nothing. Such personal time has been found in various studies to improve our overall effectiveness as well as our overall well-being; even powerful executives and politicians benefit from taking a certain time to just be alone with their thoughts, get away from the pressures of everyday demands, and exist in a peaceful environment (Halsey 2001). Buddhism has long emphasized the need to simply "be" with ones thoughts as a necessity of a centered life, not one that focuses on the everyday but on the greater picture of ourselves (Gyatso 1992). Such a concept can be incorporated into my own need for peace and structure in my hectic schedule. If I can plan time to be calm and alone, just like I plan time to be in class, at work, and at the grocery store, that activity can take a priority in my life and add to my productivity."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Organizing relates to the people within an organization. It is about the appropriate splitting of the enterprise resources by allocating different tasks to different people in such a way as to optimize the available manpower. Only when all the staff work in a coordinated manner it is possible to achieve the management?s objective. Organizing the manpower is in effect defining the organizational structure. Though we have clearly defined functions for our staff we also have an open organizational climate wherein any employee can directly report to the supervisor or address his concerns to the manager. There are no frigid business plans and our supervisor continuously encourages the staff and the associates to think upon new ideas that would improve our efficiency."

APPENIDX 1. Employee Survey
From the Paper
"The management structure at XYZ, Inc. consists of six levels of management with varying amounts of responsibility within the company. On average each manager has three to six people reporting into them and has to do performance reviews every six months for each person. In return, each employee would give feedback about their past months' development plan, how well it was managed, as well as their scalar's management style. This two way feed back in the hallmark of success at XYZ, Inc. It institutes the principle of Total Quality Management (TQM). Two way feedback has had the effect of maintaining a high level of Quality and job satisfaction at XZY, Inc. In recent year-and-a half employee feedback has been more negative than in the past with a ratio of 3,2:1. This increased ratio is of great concern to the Personnel Department, which advocates the policy of mutuality in business relationships. "

Globalization
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Globalization is a current trend throughout the world that is having a large impact on missions. Where a missionary used to struggle to find things to relate to, a missionary can now enter remote areas of China and chat with teenage boys about the latest episode of The Simpsons thanks to the television. While globalization has many more negative impacts than positive ones, it seems, there are a few bright spots that can aide a missionary in his attempt to contextualize the Gospel or the media that he'll use to present it. In China, little kids swap Christmas cards without even realizing the meaning behind them; this presents an open door for a missionary to relate the Gospel to the child. Muslims, who are from a very exclusionary culture, are provided with access to pluralistic ideas through the television and the internet that might challenge their thinking enough to open them up to the Gospel ."

Abstract
Good communication is one of the most important features of a successful company. This paper shows that, as discussed in ?Communicating is Not Optional? by Angela Sinickas, President of Sinickas Communications, Inc., communication can mean the difference between profit and loss, between good management/employee relations and bad, and between a business having a positive or a negative public image.
From the Paper
"Angela Sinickas makes reference to a situation in which Blue Cross of California promoted a new program of guaranteed coverage. All the newspapers carried the story, and customer service workers at Blue Cross were deluged with calls about the new policy. Unfortunately, management forgot to inform customer service of the changes. As a result, Blue Cross?s image was seriously damaged. This communications debacle affected only one company, in one state. But, imagine if this had been an international blunder."

The Importance of Communicating, 2002.
This paper examines the art of communicating in the business world.
1,005 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This is a paper that researches the different forms of business communication, including the transmission of ideas and messages over great distances. The author discusses the role of both verbal and non-verbal communication in the workplace, including body language and how different interpretations of language can lead to misunderstandings in the business world. The tone one uses, either verbally or electronically is an intricate piece of the business puzzle and can make or break any deal. The author also details the importance of communicating clearly and concisely in the global world of business where often different dialects can cause unnecessary confusion.
From the Paper
"Upon hearing this, the employee may interpret this to mean he/she is not working hard enough and get upset. This is a misconception of non-verbal messages. As a result of this, people need to watch not only the words and phrases they use, but also the tone of their voice. An employee should consider the tone of their message, whether depending on who they are speaking to and when. Tone is present in all communication activities. Ultimately, the tone of a message is a reflection of the speaker and it does affect how the listener will perceive the message. Tone can sometimes be difficult to consider when it is presented over a technological medium. Unarguably, however, tone can be presented via writing an e-mail message, over the phone, or through a video conference. It is still possible to express tone while using a form of technology."

Ronald Reagan: The Great Communicator, 2003.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Reaganomics and how it has affected the United States. It compares different economic statistics before, during, and after Reagan's years in office and analyzes them. It talks about the Cold War and argues that the way Reagan handled it was the best and only way to topple the Evil Empire. It also discusses his character and how he is completely different from the way that the popular media portrayed him and continues to portray him.
From the Paper
"On numerous occasions, critics have undermined Reagan and his ability to accomplish all that he did. Two examples of these critics undermining Reagan?s intelligence and success as a president came from two of his serious biographers ? Lou Cannon, a journalist who covered Reagan both as a governor and as President, and Edmund Morris ? did not identify a credible key to his success, relying in slightly different ways on the conventional explanation that his success was related to his background as an actor. The title of Cannon?s book, President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime, was obviously chosen to emphasize the link between Reagan?s presidency and his past career."

"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 (Bechtel, Shepherd, & Rogers, 1995, p. 15).

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the cycle of continuing silence about issues related to women's sexuality. The paper explains that the silence can affect the health of women in situations where speaking up could prevent the contraction of a disease. The paper examines the role played by the media and society in general concerning the perception of women's sexuality. The paper makes mention of the views of the church and religion on this topic.
From the Paper
"From the first signs of gender, the conditioning begins from the ones we love most. From the cradle, girls wear pink, boys blue and both are taught what is and how to play her and his role. Family is defined according to each individual's unique situation. Beginning in this context, a person's sexual identity has either the opportunity to begin its creation and discovery healthfully, or at high risk of developing problems. Generally, a time comes for the talk about "the birds and the bees". Usually most young people await this important discussion with the utmost dread and trepidation. Too often this fear is due to the shame and embarrassment that can monopolize the conversation. "

Men and Women as Communicators, 2002.
A review of the book "You Just Don't Understand" by Deborah Tannen, on communication.
1,478 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes Deborah Tannen's theory that men and women communicate differently based on the different ways men and women perceive things, from her book "You Just Don't Understand". For men, communication is a way of maintaining status, developing a hierarchy and giving orders. In contrast, women communicate for interpersonal connections, to achieve a sense of community and to maintain equal status. This paper evaluates the possibility that such a complex subject like communication can be separated into two distinct categories so easily and whether this approach shows a stereotype that can be applied to all people.
From the Paper
"There may be an overall trend towards women preferring to communicate for a certain reason, but this does not mean that every woman is the same. Accepting this view and believing that men and women can be understood so easily is a major error in judgment. It is also worth noting that in most communications it is not one person communicating with the other gender as a whole. It is one person communicating with one individual. For this communication to be most effective, the people need to make an effort to understand the perspective of each other. Attaching generalized meanings to the communication does not help with this. Another area overlooked is other characteristics that impact on a person?s perspective."

Ethics and Law of Sexual Health Medicine, 2005.
A review of the ethics and legal aspects involved in the management of a patient suffering from a sexually transmitted infection.
1,356 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 16 sources, APA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how there can be no doubt that confidentiality is one of the core doctrines of ethical medical practice and has been so since ancient times and how the GMC and other professional organisations stipulate patient confidentiality as an ethical prerequisite, but, crucially, permit breaches of confidentiality in certain circumstances. It provides a comprehensive review of the ethical and legal problems faced by a physician in the management of a patient with a communicable, sexually-transmitted illness.
From the Paper
"Patients expect to have to divulge the most intimate information to their doctors on a professional basis in order that they receive the most appropriate care. This exchange of information is in return for the [implicit] assurance of confidentiality. Patients would be less willing to present to their doctors if this were not the case and the utilitarian ethic would declare that the harm that this would cause in the long run would far overshadow any benefits. There is also a deontological, or ?duty-based? ethic, which would propose that Peter?s GP has a ?duty? to keep the contents of their consultation in confidence, for this is inextricably linked with the privilege of receiving the information and with upholding the autonomy of the patient. A utilitarian ethic could also propose that a breach of confidentiality would lastingly taint Peter?s view of the medical profession."

Supply Chain Logistics through Information Technology Solutions.
This paper discusses that supply chain management, a necessity for continued competitiveness and success, is being made efficient through information technology solutions.
4,130 words (approx. 16.5 pages), 19 sources, MLA, $ 110.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that effective supply chain management (SCM) seeks to integrate purchasing, materials management, quality management, demand management, distribution planning, and manufacturing planning; the focus of managing an effective supply chain is on the entire chain, including where and how the products are sourced, delivered, and merchandised to the customer. The author points out that the Internet, an enhancement to the various telecommunications tools companies use to support their supply chain operations, is especially useful to retailers in expanding communications and disseminating information, ordering products, and communicating levels of supplies. The paper relates that, in sharp contrast to the limitations of past years, supply chain managers today can effectively use customer databases to help synchronize supply chain operations with consumer needs.

From the Paper
"The ability to respond to supply chain management issues effectively has been the basis for improved productivity in the United States; an integral part of this process has been the introduction of sophisticated technological innovation which, in recent years, has becoming increasingly linked with information technology (IT). According to Park and Krishnan (2001), "One of the issues investigated in recent studies on small business enterprises involves the role of supply chain management" (259). Supply chain management has assumed an increasingly role in the strategic planning in both large and small businesses today, though, as companies have increasingly elected to outsource as a strategic approach to growth."
