Abstract
This paper examines how organizational behavior, as a field of study and practice, focuses on human resource capital as one of the most critical ingredients of a firm?s ultimate success. It shows that that no matter how complex or technologically oriented a given firm may be, it is composed of people who bring disparate skills, interests, needs and interests to the workplace. It considers and rejects the notion that the putatively ?touchy-feeley? skills communicating and listening well, interacting well and motivating one another are less valuable than technical skills.
From the Paper
"On average, people spend nearly one-third of their adult lives at work (Trenholm and Jensen, p. 332). Fully half of all jobs in the United States are characterized as belonging to the information processing or service sectors; in these sectors of the labor market, communication within the organization and between the organization and its other stakeholders (i.e., the client/customer base, suppliers, stockholders, regulators, and the general public) has assumed a high priority. As Trenholm and Jensen (p. 332) have pointed out, surveys of corporate leaders reveal that the two skills most valued in new employees are writing and speaking skills, with interpersonal competency high on the list of most desired qualities."

Abstract
This paper relates that the importance of communicating the Gospel in missionary work cannot be overstated. The paper also points out that, without an effective way of communicating the Gospel, the targeted audience will never be converted. The paper then discusses the ways in which the Gospel can be communicated and the importance of selecting a method that suits the community that the missionary is in. The paper further describes the ways that media selection play a key role in the presentation of the Gospel and discusses the impact that globalization has had on missionary work.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Philosophy of Communication
Initial Considerations
Message Contextualization
Method Determination
Media Selection
Measurement Implementation
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 ."

?Communicating Is Not Optional?, 2004.
Discusses the importance of communication in the business world, as explained by Angela Sinickas in her article, ?Communicating Is Not Optional?.
836 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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

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."

Communicating about Women's Sexuality, 2005.
An analysis of the lack of communication regarding women's sexuality.
1,620 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
»
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. "

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 (Bechtel, Shepherd, & Rogers, 1995, p. 15). 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.
This research examines appropriate nursing responses to the problems ..."

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."

Ronald Reagan: The Great Communicator, 2003.
A discussion of the effects and ramifications of Ronald Reagan's eight years as President of the U.S.
3,705 words (approx. 14.8 pages), 12 sources, MLA, $ 102.95

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."

Internal PR Action Plan, 2005.
A look at internal organizational communication within Hewlett Packard and Compaq.
1,287 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Effective communication with the internal organizational public at all levels is the key to the success of an organization, especially when change is happening within the organization. Communicating in a timely manner, honestly and openly, with the employees results in an augmentation of confidence and productivity, as well as a reduction of job insecurity and other related fears. Extensive research in this field proves that a sound communication mode, employee contentment, and efficiency are in direct proportion when done correctly by an organization. This paper outlines the communications within Hewlett Packard and Compaq, as well as the impact of these communications. An effective internal public relations action plan is defined as well.
From the Paper
"Many different organizations over the years have realized effective internal communication is the primary reason behind every successful change, "No matter what the change -- merger, restructuring, downsizing, reengineering, the introduction of new technology, or a customer service campaign" (Larkin, 1996, p. 96). For this very reason, organizations today emphasize on the effectiveness and promptness of internal communication. However, the lesson learned came through appalling experiences when in intricate situations, companies as big as Hewlett Packard failed to inform their internal public about changes that employees neither welcome nor are comfortable with. Consequently, extreme resistance is the result, which is felt throughout the entire organization."

In addition, strong leadership provides a sense of direction to the organizational members toward the realization of the organizational mission.
From the Paper
"Leaders create an environment that encourages personal motivation. It's the main characteristic that helps individuals in a team to realize their values. Leaders motivate employees through several ways. For example, they may align rewards to high performance. They may seek the use of balance scorecard that aligns organizational goals with the performance. In some cases, organizational leaders inspire people to choose their goals that they may strive to accomplish. Incentives, rewards based on performance, and profit sharing are some of the ways that a leader can use to motivate the employees."

Abstract
This paper provides a discussion of the application domains that are typically associated with the small, communicating computer systems class, and how this operating system design has been impacted by the requirements of these application domains. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion. Includes annotated bibliography.
Introduction
Particular Requirements of this Application Domain
How These Requirements Impact the OS Designs for the Small, Communicating Computer Systems Class
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Computers continue to get smaller and the evolution of processing speeds is following Moore's Law. It is reasonable to assume that at some point in the foreseeable future, the desktop computer may simply become a thing of the past. Increasingly, mobile communications devices are being used to develop informal "networks" of friends, co-workers and family members. As a result, the use of small, communicating computer systems, mostly in wireless configurations, is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to older (i.e., a few years) computer systems that do not provide the same level of flexibility and functionality for a company's growing information technology needs today. Identifying current and future trends in this environment, then, assumes a new level of importance for companies seeking to maximize their return on their scarce IT resources, as well as for consumers who are seeking to identify the most appropriate wireless tool for their needs today."
