...The integrated approach is more effective when it is based on the patients need. Integrated care does not fit all. The integrative approach to counseling can be achieved in a number of ways: theoretical integration, technical eclecticism, and common factors (Preston, 1998). Therefore I do feel that I could support it when it is done in the right situation. It needs to be clear that the process of integration must be approached with caution. Due to the fact that, unlike many theories that were developed after careful thought by the founders, the integration often takes place against a background of mostly inexperienced people who barely understand the theories (Milton and Judd, 1999). Everyone has had the experience of being able to understand...

...My belief is that integrated approach to disability management is the most efficient and effective way to help ill and injured employees to either return-to-work or stay-at-work, whilst trying to reduce economic cost of disability to employers. The Integrated Disability Management (IDM) approach or comprehensive approach is not only beneficial to the employee but also to the employer/organization. “The IDM approach can be applied across a diversity of human situations to provide solutions that reflect the multifaceted and widespread nature of disability. The IDM approach is intended as a strategy capable of handling: inclusion of people with disabilities, active aging of human resources, health and safety in the workplace, prevention of disabilities and various diseases, return to work, absenteeism and presenteeism.” (Silivia Angeloni, SAGE Open October-December 2013, p. 1) Position Taken My position is that integration is a most successful approach to effective disability management. IDM helps reduce the incidence of illness or injury, whether work or non-work related, and enables employees to stay at work if possible or to return to work as soon as it is safe to do so. IDM helps in reduction of duplication of effort which ultimately...

...Can a humanistic model of counselling be integrated with a cognitive one? In this essay I am going to compare the Person-Centred Therapy founded by Carl Rogers and the Cognitive Therapy Model of Aaron Becks. I shall compare the two approaches, outlining the theory to explain their similarities as well as their differences. I shall compare the two approaches to show whether a humanistic and cognitive approach can be integrated successfully into a therapy session. In order to compare the two approaches it is necessary to summarise the main features of the two. Cognitive Therapy in brief can be described as: 1. Formulating a plan for treatment. 2. Focussing on the current, presenting problems as defined by the client. 3. Goal setting. 4. Time-limited. 5. Agreement to set and complete homework. 6. Connecting the way a client thinks about situations and how they feel and behave in order to change these thoughts. 7. Assisting the client in identifying and using coping skills for self-help in the future. Cognitive Therapy (CT) is organised around a formulation devised by Becks in 1976 to assist patients who were suffering from depression. The aim of CT is to understand the person's environment, values, beliefs and the way the person assesses events in their life. The CT model evaluates how people believe that a situation affects their feelings, behaviour and their view of 'self' and 'others'. A CT Therapist believes these views will be distorted...

...Integrated Approach to Care of Common Genitourinary Problems Student’s Name Institution Integrated Approach to Care of Common Genitourinary Problems This approach will incorporate techniques for care and treatment for the infected persons. Genitourinary infections are diseases that are caused by either virus, bacteria or even parasites that are transmitted during sexual association with an infected partner (Barlow, 2011). Efforts or attempts to develop a comprehensive approach to care for people with common genitourinary infections will have to analyze several features of the problem. The first characteristic of this problem is that there is a rapid increasing prevalence rate for people with genitourinary infections (Gross, 2011). The second aspect of this problem that will be included in the integrated approach is that. Genitourinary infections are not caused by bacteria alone, parasites and bacteria also cause these diseases too (Iannini, 2003). We also need to understand the risk factors associated with untreated genitourinary infections as most of these infections do not have symptoms during certain stages (Markos, 2003). The last characteristic of this problem to incorporate is the impact of genitourinary infections on costs and healthcare utilization. To develop an integrated approach to care for patients with common genitourinary infections, I formulated three elements for a comprehensive approach to addressing this problem. I identified them...

After the in-depth study of literature we concluded that learning organization is an organization which learns through its members individually and collectively to create competitive advantages by developing a facilitative system through the process of self-development and information sharing by empowering the employees.. The paper also finds some critical factors which must be present in the organization to become a learning organization. These factors are Innovation, facilitative leadership, self-development, empowerment, and information sharing and collective collaboration. The paper tried to explain the similarities and differences among the previously available models of learning organization and proposed a new theoretical model for LO. Keywords: Learning...

...knocking at the door of Bangladesh. Particularly, Southwestern region of Bangladesh faces safe drinking water supply due to natural contamination of arsenic in the groundwater, salinity intrusion and drought as well. At present, different governmental officials, international, national and local NGOs, private sectors and community people are trying to overcome the crisis of drinking water individually and/or combined in different ways. But they are focusing a single issue rather than keeping all issues in an integrated way. However, the problem of safe drinking water availability caused by the combined effect of salinity, arsenic, and drought which are intimately inter-linked with each other. Therefore, it is imperative to include all the issues by developing an integrated approach, which will help to find a successful solution for better access of safe drinking water in the affected area.

...What led UPS to pursue an integrated marketing communications approach? What was the promotional objective as it repositioned itself in the "synchronized commerce" market space? Integrated market communication was required in order to get the maximum business out of the market. It was important for UPS to make the market understand that they are not only the package delivery company but they do so much more than just the package delivery. “Synchronized commerce” the name was given to this marketing model / market space. The need to pursue for integrated communication market was required when UPS had to change its image in the market. It was important for market to know that there is a leading edge company which can do much more than just delivering the package. The reason of adopting the integrated market communication was to create a bridge or channel of communication between the customer/consumer and the company. Company wanted each and every customer to walk through the same journey of innovation what UPS was going through. And with this message of their capabilities was communicated to the consumer. Promotional objective for the synchronized commerce was to get the potential business from the core market which was unaware of the capabilities of the company. Working this out was a good opportunity for the company to re-model their own shape in the market and to be known as A LEADING COMPANY in not only packaging but other benefitting solutions to any and or all businesses...

...component in the delivery of primary healthcare services in many healthcare institutions. On the basis of this approach, the best practice is often based on a thorough assessment of evidence from renowned research studies that highlight the interventions necessary for maximizing the chance of benefit and minimize the risk of harm. Furthermore, evidence-based practices are aimed at delivering the desired treatment at acceptable costs. When it comes to co-occurring disorders, Integrated Treatment seems to be the most appropriate evidence-based approach in that it addresses the individual’s mental health and substance use issues in an integrated manner (Drake et al. 2004). As compared to the traditional parallel and sequential treatment approaches, Integrated Treatment model is best suited for co-occurring disorders that are often cyclical and interactive. Furthermore, the requirement that clients should obtain services in different systems of treatment seems to be at odds with the current shift towards patient-centered care which stipulates that access to services for co-occurring disorders should be available at the patient level. What is the theory of behavior change underlying the EBP? The Integrated Treatment approach is founded on the cognitive behaviour therapy that is a focused approach premised on the fact that cognitions influence behaviors and feelings. The approach is also based on the assertion that subsequent emotions and behaviors have a formidable influence on cognitions...

...extract knowledge and abstract the concepts and principles relevant to any given situation is undoubtedly promoted through a more flexible multi-context presentation of knowledge. Furthermore, in a management and leadership development context it presents information in a form that will be more relevant to executive work patterns and operational requirements. In an educational sense this requires commonality of experience and the conceptual frameworks of the learners and their tutors to ensure that the ability to move easily between the cognitive elements being described and the desired practical outcome is achievable. At the centre of British Institute of Technology and E-commerce (BITE) educational philosophy lies the concept of an integrated curriculum and this is particularly relevant to the new MBA (named pathway) programme being offered at its new executive development campus in St. James’s, London. This programme has been designed and developed from its very inception with this principle at the core of its curriculum. The St James’s students will require significant corporate, public or private sector,...

...Project Delivery at Autodesk, Inc. Project Management Leadership BUS 518 26 February, 2012 As project leader for the office building construction project, formulate a vision statement for the team project. According to Gray and Larson (2008) a vision is unlike a project scope statement, which includes: budget, end dates, and performance requirements, a vision involve the less tangible aspects of project performance. It refers to an image a project team holds in common about how the project will look upon completion, how they will work together and/or how customers will accept the project (p. 361-362). A simple level of a shared vision will answer the question, what do we want to create? Not everyone will have the same vision, but the images should be comparable. Additionally, vision comes in a variety of shapes and forms such as: in a slogan, a symbol and/or written as a formal vision statement (p.362). A vision can also inspire members to give their best effort. However, shared visions bring together experts with different skills and agendas to a mutual objective. Shared visions also help motivate members to subordinate their individual agenda and do what is normally best for the project. Finally, a shared vision for a project fosters obligations to the long term and discourages expedient responses that collectively dilute the quality of the project (Grey & Larson, 2008). Developing a vision statement is a chance for members of the organization and or project...

...motivate people to pick up the broken pieces in their behaviors that need attention. Because counselors have a lot of experience witnessing human beings in various forms of life challenges, they use techniques or share observations that are more revealing than what friends or family members might say. With these revelations, clients make decisions and with the support of the counselor, clients take action towards positive growth in their lives. This paper is an expression of my current thinking regarding a theoretical approach of individual counseling. The counselor’s approach is unique based on his or her personal belief systems and values. I have adopted and integrated counseling approach to understanding the individual’s irrational beliefs and the implications of these beliefs on thinking, feeling and behavior. In this paper, the word ‘counselor’ and ‘therapist’ will be used interchangeably. Developing Personal Style of Counseling: My integrative Approach to Counseling Different counseling theorists have proposed different theories of counseling and they are all good approaches in their...

...integrated marketing communication Philip J. Kitchen and Inga Burgmann INTRODUCTION Integrated marketing communication (IMC) emerged during the late twentieth century and its importance has been growing ever since (Grove, Carlson, and Dorsch, 2002; Cornelissen, 2001; Hartley and Pickton, 1999). Owing to the impact of information technology, changes came about in the domains of marketing and marketing communications which led to the emergence of IMC (Kitchen et al., 2004a; Phelps and Johnson, 1996; Duncan and Everett, 1993). The multiplication of media, demassification of consumer markets, and the value of the Internet in today’s society are just three of the areas in which technological innovation has impacted (Pilotta et al., 2004; Peltier, Schibrowsky, and Schultz, 2003; Reid, 2003; Lawrence, Garber, and Dotson, 2002; Fill, 2001; Low, 2000; Hutton, 1996). This in turn left marketers in a challenging and competitive environment, trying to fulfil customers wants and needs while also developing long-term relationships with them. IMC can help in creating coordinated and consistent messages across various channels of communication. Furthermore, the concept is especially valuable in that it places great emphasis on the importance of all stakeholder groups and, in particular, on customer loyalty, which can only be created through strategic relationship building (Jin, 2003/2004; Cornelissen, 2000; Eagle and Kitchen, 2000; Pickton and Hartley, 1998; Miller and Rose, 1994). To date...

...inefficient dichotomy and integrating elements of both into any change initiative has been proposed. The dichotomy in a Theory E approach, incorporating practices driven by an economic imperative and a Theory O approach, incorporating practices for improving organizational capability are questioned by this research. By comparing the integrated model identified by Beer and Nohria (2000) with 18 other change management approaches, the limitations of their model are exposed. Considerable similarities are observed between change management models and this leads to the conclusion that a more comprehensive integrated model should be developed and tested. This includes the importance of identifying the context for change as a prerequisite to change design. Initial research validated the use of an extended list of critical success factors, the utility of a new model for initiating change and reinforced the importance of a contingency paradigm. KEY WORDS : Change, change management, integrated change, business transformation Introduction In the first part of this research ‘Challenging the Code of Change: Part 1.
