From the Paper
"The National Broadcast Corporation (NBC) is one of the "big three" television networks in the United States. NBC, along with the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) and the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) dominated television during its formative years, and today continue to be responsible for a large share of the entertainment programming. However, recent years have seen competition emerge from a variety of quarters. Cable television has made significant inroads into the traditional networks' markets, and the Fox network, owned by media magnate Rupert Murdoch, has begun to compete with the networks in traditional markets. In addition, the networks must contend with the proliferation of video cassette recorders (VCRs) which permit potential television viewers to watch prerecorded films, or to record shows off the air a ...

Content:
Introduction
Communication and Leadership
Conclusion
From the Paper
"For a future at HealthSouth, strong leadership based on values will remain key. This type of leadership involved a certain level of emotional intelligence where feelings of powerful do not become overwhelming. Of course if leadership and responsibility are equally shared, then power will be as well. The key to effective leadership does not come from charisma but from integrity and sharing information. Hughes (2004) writes an effective leader will have impact upon their team and this is "apparent in the growing interest over the past decade in topics like the leader's genuineness, authenticity, credibility and trustworthiness" (p. 3). A leader's reflection of these attributes is found in their level of connectedness with employees. As a result leaders are more interested in mentoring and training their team rather than focusing on output of numbers or turn around time. These qualities are a good indicator for selecting a potential manager. This development in team building allows for "providing people opportunities to learn from their work rather than taking them away from their work to learn" (Hughes 4). "

From the Paper
"The purpose of the Nehemiah Corporation of California?named from a Biblical story in which Jerusalem was rebuilt?is to provide affordable income to people. "Don Harris the founder of the Nehemiah Corporation of California, started this program at a time when government funds for housing and affordable housing programs were disappearing throughout our nation, and along with them, the American Dream of affordable home ownership. Now, The Nehemiah Program? is the largest privately-funded down payment assistance program in the nation. Since 1997, The Nehemiah Program? has assisted over 97,000 homebuyers to become homeowners nationwide." (Broder). Harris is a real estate lawyer who was approached by the owner of a 120-unit townhouse complex, annoyed that most of his prospective tenants couldn?t afford to pay the down payment required for the homes. Harris then researched FHA and IRS regulations to learn that it was legal for a family member or a non-profit organization to donate money for down payments to qualified buyers."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Xerox Corporation works aggressively to minimize the impact its products have on the environment and to encourage its employees to be socially active in supporting their community. The author points out that the Xerox Corporation's help in protecting the environment by recycling 65% of the toner cartridges used in their machines and re-manufacturing machines, which also carry the same warranties as new machines, has been good business. The paper relates that a unique program of the Xerox Foundation is to grant employees paid sabbaticals, from three to twelve months in duration, to pursue activities away from their regular work at Xerox, such as working with battered women, mentoring troubled children, working with people who have AIDS, or developing more community resources for those who take care of the elderly.
From the Paper
"When a company provides both manufacturing and service, it becomes profitable for them to produce products that are durable, easily repaired, and eventually recycled. This is the approach Xerox took when it shifted its marketing emphasis from the selling of copying machines to the leasing of copying machines. Where decades ago they focused on selling copier equipment, now they lease, and have an incentive to extend the usefulness of their equipment."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The company faces high potential risks related with workplace human rights violations as it operates in nations where, according to the U.S. Department of State's 2003 Human Rights Reports, workplace human rights are not sufficiently protected in law and practice. These are countries like China, Indonesia, Chad, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Angola and Nigeria. Exxon Mobil took the first step by mentioning that its standards of business conduct, its global framework for responsible functions, match up to the spirit and intent of the principles of the ILO Declaration. On the other hand, the shareholders believe that the company's true adoption and implementing of a workplace human rights policy are still missing. Even today, the policies set forth by the company do not incorporate the principles of the ILO Declaration."

"Microsoft's forays into the area of downloadable music to rival Apple have been equally disappointing. To lure users away from Apple, Microsoft created a service called URGE. URGE came integrated into the newest version of Microsoft Corporation's Windows Media Player. URGE offered 2 million tracks, which could be purchased individually for $.99 cents or users could select an option that allowed unlimited downloads at a monthly rate of $9.95, or $14.95 which allowed URGE subscribers to transfer songs to compatible portable music players. Apple's iTunes service offered no such subscription option."
"But because Microsoft is not a first-mover in the market, and Apple has established a lock on this aspect of the business, this means that URGE's potential to rival Apple's iTunes is quite doubtful. The fact that URGE is not compatible with Apple's Macintosh computers or Apple's market-leading iPod digital music player, combined with the availability of music on Internet file-sharing networks, "has made subscription music plans a tough sell." (MTV enters crowded downloadable market," CNN Technology, AP Wire, 2006)"

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and critiques Joel Bakan's book on the status of the modern corporate organization. The paper describes the book's intended audience, its central thesis, how Bakan proves his thesis and how Bakan differentiates between the (often decent) people who work for corporations and the unique structure of imperatives within the corperation that direct the actions of every person within it.
From the Paper
"It is not a human entity. But it has the legal status of a human being. It is not a moral entity. Yet it determines what we eat, watch, wear, where and how we work and what we do for profit and pleasure. Yes, says Joel Bakan-this is the corporation. And we have allowed out laws to make it such a powerful entity, against our better interests and judgment."
