This case describes multiplestage research, including thousands of interviews in several countries by established research firms. >The Scenario What government policies and initiatives are most likely to generate high levels of entrepreneurial activity? Which are positively correlated with the economic well-being of a country as measured by growth in GDP and job formation? Project directors of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), who define entrepreneurship as “Any attempt at new business or new venture creation, such as self-employment, a new business organization, or the expansion of an existing business, by an individual, a team of individuals, or an established business,” suggest the following: • Promoting entrepreneurship, especially outside the most active age group (25-44), with specific programs that support entrepreneurial activity. • Facilitating the availability of resources to women to participate in the entrepreneurial process. • Committing to long-term, substantial postsecondary education, including training programs designed to develop...

...Philosophies The appealing philosophy is the essentialism philosophy. The elements that are the most appealing to me are the teaching methods and the educational goals. I think these elements are the most important elements to have as a speech therapist. These elements will influence me as speech therapists because it is important for me to help the children that I am working with get to their goal when it comes to education. It is also important for me to have a good method of working with my students so that they can know exactly what to do when they get to the real world. The methods of other philosophers I would like to incorporate would be progressivism, epistemology, and axiology. The best way that I learn as a student is visual and audio. I need to figure out how they learn so I can have a clear idea on how to teach my students. For example it can bring tape recorders for my audio learners, DVD’s that relates to the topic we are learning for my visual learners. Also textbooks for my students who would like to learn by reading. The way I would teach my children is by getting to know them as people. Do the job not just for the money but also for the students. I would also try to figure out how they learn so I can know how to teach each student individually rather than just assume that every student learns the same. I had my up’s and down’s with my educational experience. I came across some teachers that were really good at teaching and that I also had a connection with...

...for the employees and the company. I feel that the organization had the right idea, but will explain why it did not work later in this paper. In addition to the negative nature of the program I would also be concerned about “punishing” employees for absences beyond their control. For instance, if an employee experiences an illness or personal matter that takes them over their standard allowance, according to Park’s plan they would have their vacation decreased for the next period If they are beyond this allowance, these days would probably be unpaid and they would receive an attendance citation. To me this seems like a double negative. Also you must consider the timeliness of addressing attendance issues. Park’s program addresses present attendance issues in the future. An employee who experienced uncontrollable absences in the previous reporting period may have satisfactory attendance in the present reporting period. The delayed repercussions could cause resentment towards the organization and reduce job satisfaction thus reducing performance. How Much Absenteeism is Really...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Student absences jeopardize student and school success. Academic achievement scores are correlated with school attendance. Students who are not at school cannot receive instruction. Excessive school absence is a precursor of school dropout and is related to juvenile delinquency. And, because average daily attendance rates are a common determiner of school funding, absences mean that schools have less resources to do the job. Given all this, it is not surprising that reducing school absences is a top priority for many schools. (http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu) Now-a-days intelligent automation has stepped its presence in every field all over the world. This project has a stepping in the attendance and power management of the classrooms in the colleges/schools. The use of low cost technologies for highly reliable applications with the help of newly innovated algorithms makes the automation process to reach the consumers at cheaper and reliable cost. (http://www.muxtronics.com) The widespread of embedded computer networks as part of everyday peoples’ lives is leading the current research towards smart environments and Ambient Intelligence (AmI).

...bring into the workplace, with the exception of watches. The second element of behavior to be discussed will be sexual harassment on the job. Any sexual harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. This type of behavior includes, but is not limited to, the following: sexual jokes or teasing, unwanted or repeated touching, unwanted requests for socialization outside the job, giving sexually suggestive gifts, or showing sexually suggestive pictures. The third element of behavior will be the attendance policy. Repeatedly showing up to work late is not acceptable behavior. An example of excessive tardiness would be an employee who shows up more than five minutes late to work three or more times a month. Also excessively calling off to work is not acceptable. With the exceptions of being ill or having a family emergency it is generally not acceptable to call off work. An example of excessively calling off would be either calling off three or more times in a month or consistently calling off every month of employment.

...Scenario I Jennifer, a recent graduate was hired to work at my accounting firm. Before Jennifer was hired, she was required to take an aptitude, knowledge and skill test. An aptitude test can measure an employee's ability to reason, think logically, visualize in three dimensions and understand the principles of machinery. An aptitude test helps the employer determine which employees will have the aptitude to learn the specifics of a job. A knowledge test can measure the level of skills the employee has for a particular position in a company. Skill testing is used to determine a candidate's mechanical or assembly abilities (eHow 1999). Jennifer scored high on all tests. Because Jennifer scored high on all test, it was believed, Jennifer was a great candidate for the job. The Company has a guideline that states “appropriate measures for correcting performance problems are coaching, outlining specific steps for improvement and probations. Termination for performance issues occurs only after the employee has been given opportunity and the support necessary for improvement”. After a few weeks on the job, Jennifer had problems being able to perform her job efficiently and effectively. Jennifer was offered computer training classes to help her improve her skills. Jennifer had weekly coaching sessions with her supervisor concerning her performance issues. The coaching sessions were documented in Jennifer’s file to show where she had been coached on her performance. Jennifer refused...

...- ABSENTEEISM IN THE WORKPLACE One of the most common problems facing employers in today’s workplace is employee absenteeism. It is not something that is unique to any particular industry as its costs impacts just about every workplace. This article is a manager’s perspective on the pervasive trend of absenteeism and why it is a huge problem. However, there are increasingly more and more ways to deal with it and help reduce its enormous costs. Absenteeism as the term suggests, is simply a matter of employees not showing up for their scheduled work. The effects of absenteeism in the workplace are also directly proportional to decreased productivity. Unabated, this can also result in the company incurring additional costs to cover for the hiring of temporary staff or paying overtime. A simple breakdown of the actual cost ramifications of absenteeism are: • Lost productivity of the absent employee • Overtime for other employees to fill in. • The costs incurred hiring temporary help. • Possible loss of business and/or dissatisfied customers. • Problems associated with lowered employee morale. • A substantial decrease in overall productivity. Productivity lost as a direct result of absenteeism is nothing to sneeze at. In the United States, the annual cost to employers for time lost due to accidents and/or unscheduled employee absences is estimated to be in the $100 billion. That figure for the Canadian workplace is estimated to be in the $15 billion range. These...
