Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines corporate culture and uses the United States Marines as an example of this. Three works are cited: Marion F. Sturkey's "Warrior Culture of the U.S. Marines", Sgt. James Covington's "Suits to BOOTS: Marines teach Corps' values to business students" and "Corps Values". Sturkey explains that the marine's character is defined by three constant "Corps Values", honor courage, and commitment. The paper defines these values and also explains the the "Code of Conduct" of 1955. Covington discusses how the marines handle leadership challenges in a stressful environment and how this knowledge can be applied in the business world. The paper concludes that the marine's commitment to decentralized management and bottom-up thinking has evolved due to high risk, high speed and, high focus assaults which tend to be unforgiving on bureaucratic or autocratic management styles.
From the Paper
"Honor requires the ultimate standard in ethical and moral conduct, and a Marine must never lie, cheat, or steal, must adhere to a code of personal integrity and be accountable for his actions, and above all, must never sully the reputation of his Corps (Sturkey pp). Courage is honor in action, moral strength, heeding the inner voice of conscience and doing what is right in spite of adverse consequences (Sturkey pp). Commitment is total dedication to Corps and Country, and is a combination of selfless determination and relentless dedication to excellence (Sturkey pp). And once a Marine, always a Marine, for there is no such thing as an ex-Marine or former-Marine, only reserve, retired or veteran Marines (Sturkey pp). These three Corps Values make up the bedrock of each individual Marine's character, and are the foundation of the Corps itself (Sturkey pp). These values have been handed down from generation to generation and are the reason why the U.S. Marines are the most respected and revered fighting force on earth (Sturkey pp)."

Abstract
This paper evaluates the culture of Southwest Airlines (SWA) by examining the two major categories of organizational cultures - individualistic and collectivist. It explains that organizational culture is the basic pattern of shared assumptions, values, and beliefs considered the correct way of thinking about and acting on problems and opportunities facing the organization. The paper also discusses the differences between individualistic cultures, where the primary emphasis is on personal freedom of choice, and the collectivist culture where personal goals are less important than organizational goals and interest. The paper concludes that SWA has a collectivist culture and has created a culture that allows the employee to contribute and have fun at the same time.
From the Paper
"More than 32 years ago, Rollin King and Herb Kelleher got together and decided to start a different kind of airline. "We Weren't Just Airborne Yesterday" began with one simple notion: if you get your passengers to their destinations when they want to get there, on time, at the lowest possible fares, and make darn sure they have a good time doing it, ("time flies when you're having fun!") people will fly your airline. They were right, businesses began to catch on. The Tom Joyner Morning Show (The TJM show) is currently a big advocate and does plenty of advertising for Southwest Airlines. Whenever the TJM show is performing a live Skye show, they present two of their audience attendees with two tickets from SWA to fly anywhere in the USA. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida has an account with Southwest Airlines for all of their employees and business traveling needs. What began as a small Texas airline has grown to become one of the largest airlines in America."

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). "

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that a review of existing literature indicates that students' perceptions about assessment have many influences on students' approaches to learning. In addition, the writer points out that there are many elements that influence how students perceive assessment. This study reveals that students hold strong views about various formats and methods of assessment. For example, the writer shows that within traditional assessment, multiple-choice exams are seen by many students as favorable assessment methods in comparison to essay questions. However, when conventional assessment and alternative assessment methods are compared, students perceive alternative assessment methods as more 'fair' than the traditional assessment methods. This paper discusses how students view assessment and presents a series of recommendations for improving traditional assessment.

"Unfortunately, few studies have been conducted on the perceptions of the assessments that are given to students, with the exception of those done from the perspective of the teachers. It is important to look at this issue from the point of view of the students since they are the ones who are assessed and judged. It is also important that students have a clear understanding of why they feel the way they do and why they are judged in a particular way. By learning more about the students' perceptions of assessment, teachers can learn more about student perceptions of other aspects of their educational experience. This type of study is especially beneficial because it helps educators examine assessment in a new light."

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 well-researched paper details the recent focus of the educational standards movement on the issue of assessment. The primary goal of the movement is to raise standardized test scores, but this is done without careful consideration of what the scores actually mean. The writer of this paper evaluates the effectiveness of the current educational process by focusing on the aspect of assessment and the vital role it plays in instruction and learning. Two defining criteria for solid assessment are validity and reliability. Validity is determined by how well an assessment measures what it is supposed to measure, including showing differences between test takers. Reliability is concerned with both the student performance and the scoring of the assessment. This paper discusses the matter of teacher shortages which augments the assessment problem. This paper also delves into the fact that many teachers are beginning their careers without certification and the only guidance they are given in assessment comes through the regular staff meetings that invariably include the latest information about how to raise standardized test scores. This paper examines the various strategies educators have at their disposal for combining assessment and learning. The writer contends that the end result should be more student-centered assessment which encourages the growth of each individual student. This also paper contains two illustrated graphs that relate to relevant assessment strategies.

From the Paper
"Two defining criteria for solid assessment are validity and reliability. Validity is determined by how well an assessment measures what it is supposed to measure, including showing differences between test takers. In other words, do the test scores actually reflect each student's mastery of the material being assessed? Reliability of an assessment is determined by how consistent its results are. Reliability is concerned with both the student performance and the scoring of the assessment. If students take the same test on two different days, a reliable test will yield the same results. Also, two or more scorers will come to the same conclusion in scoring the assessment."

Abstract
The following report proposes to summarize and assess the development of the Sony family of companies with particular reference to its core competency hardware and Sony Electronics Incorporated. The works of Michael Porter will provide a theoretical framework for the discussion. During the 1990s Michael E. Porter developed a theory of company strategy and comparative advantage that was presented in "Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance and Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors". Porter argued that a successful company had to assess its situation and its environment (a typical SWOT analysis) to identify its competitive advantage. He then insisted that a company had to choose one of only three possible strategies and vigorously pursue this 'prime directive.' Sony Electronics' performance in terms of Porter's paradigm will provide the focus of this analysis.

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."

Quality Assessment of What Students Learn and How They Learn.
Assessment Serving Students Learning the Language of Instruction
Quality Classroom Assessment Ensuring Clear Instructions
Quality Classroom Assessment and Student Self-Assessment
Samples of Student Work as Evidence of Achievement
Conclusion
From the Paper
"A: The key message for the classroom teacher is to develop an ability to observe students' different ways of expressing themselves, remembering that some students are able to learn from watching others, or listening to the teacher's views, whereas other students must perform an exercise practically, and from which such students often tend to learn quickly and concretely.
"B: The teacher should give instructions in different ways as in description, a demonstration of how she might perform the task, and when a task is underway, encouraging students. Work is not simply assigned and monitored for the class enters into a dynamic with the teacher involved."
