...strategy and results | | | Research Article Review Proactive encouragement of interdisciplinary research teams in a business school environment: strategy and results Author: Susan M. Adams, Nathan C. Carter, Charles R. Hadlock, Dominique M. Haughton and George Sirbu Introduction: This article describes the importance of interdisciplinary research and teaching that has become a common theme in assessing the state of modern university. The US National Academies have issued a self described ‘call to action’ to universities to upgrade their attention to this issue and the retiring president of the International Economics Association has argued strongly for more to be done to connect the disciplines. Many academic work of business school faculty still tends to focus on the interests of disciplinary academic journals. The pressures for a disciplinary focus encourage individual investigators to pursue common phenomena. It is convenient to view cross-disciplinary collaboration using a social network Paradigm. Research findings indicate that, in general, diverse teams promote more innovative solutions provided they can work well together. Individuals working on teams are bridge to external resources from their own social networks. In this way a team benefits from members that have connections to outside networks that can provide access to additional views, expertise, and information that an individual, or a more homogeneous team, may not possess. This research article...

To fix these kinds of issues, and then other steps of disciple have to use. The step would be for the managers to do after verbal warning there is the written warning, which it aids the manager on the police force to bring the matter. To officer Goodenough attention to have a better performance habits works, conduct, and attitude following the verbal warning has not made good enough fix her problem and have done worse acts.

...1. Do you believe Oiler’s employee rights were violated? Explain your position. Peter Oiler’s termination from his job by the Winn-Dixie Corporation was an outright and blatant violation of his employee rights. Though balancing employee rights with appropriate discipline is an ongoing challenge for HR professionals. But in this case of Oiler, the work place behavior of the employer had not changed and there is no problem, with the co-employers also. Also in the own time, the company have no rights about the way he dress. Hence there is also no such challenge for the Winn-Dixie that it has to terminate Oiler. Hence I would consider that Winn-Dixie has violated the employee rights of Oiler. Also his social security has been impaired. When we consider the situation here is more normal than a similar case in 2005, which happened in Georgia (from the article). According to that, the courts consider this as sexual discrimination under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (deprivation of constitutional right) and Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution (all peoples are same). And the development of trans-gender transitions has a real concern and the laws accept the claims of discrimination under employer’s stereotyping of genders. Thus Oiler’s claim is acceptable and Winn-Dixie has to oblige to the claims of Oiler. Here Oiler’s can be taken as an example of opposition of trans-genders in the general public. Though the laws are guarding them, the manipulation of thought...

...construction was in full swing again, the men on the job working with him noticed he was always drinking a quart of milk and wondered if it was “spiked” and Larry was using the milk to mask the bad breath odor. Larry had bad speech habits therefore unable to use that as an indicator of him drinking. During his last job, it was a little behind schedule due to the inability to get good carpenters at the beginning of the season and the job was going OK. Larry had actually never been caught drinking. The rumors at first were ignored because they did not represent a safety risk to themselves or others. The manager has suspensions that Larry is drinking on the job but has no sufficient proof. In any type of disciplinary situation, Larry would be innocent until proven guilty. No disciplinary action could be taken based solely on rumor and suspension. The next step that management would be able to do is an investigation to see if the rumors are supported by actual facts. The managers could interview various employees that have worked with Larry and attempt to get information. The manager would need some type of proof that Larry was observed drinking, what type of liquor was he drinking, and when was he drinking (the middle of the day, end of the shift, etc.). Some companies would require the...

...why Hult is right choice to pursue an MIB Degree as it gives us exposure to study in two different parts of world in 1 year. With this you get an opportunity to understand culture of two different countries and work in a different environment with people from various nationalities. Secondly, it gives an opportunity to build lifelong international connections. We get an opportunity to network with people from over 120 nations. To pursue an MIB degree while studying with people from such diverse background gives us an experience to work with multinational teams.

...oward case stu“What do we do with Howard?” Synopsis: Tad Pierson had recently been appointed as a project engineer. As project engineer for one of Agrigreen’s plants, he is responsible for the operation of the plant surveying group. For some time now Tad had been aware of some performance, safety, and conflicts with personnel within the group.

...When an employer looks at your resume, you've got about 6-10 seconds to make a good impression. To capture the reader's attention, you need to be clear and to-the-point. Be Organized and Logical In addition to reviewing your experience, employers also use the resume to sense whether you are organized, logical, and concise. Make sure your resume is balanced, neat, visually appealing, and flows consistently. Clearly separate sections and emphasize section titles. Keep a Positive Tone Your resume should present you in the best possible light. If you don't possess every skill an employer is seeking, do not emphasize your shortcomings. Focus on what you can offer. Combine Sections When Possible Try to combine any short sections together to make your resume more compact. For example, if you only have one entry under training, consider placing it under your education instead and change the section title to "Education and Training." Use Common Section Headings Use common section headings. Examples: Objective, Experience, Employment, Work History, Skills, Summary, Summary of Qualifications, Accomplishments, Achievements, Capabilities, Education, Professional Affiliations, Publications, Licenses and Certifications, and Honors. Be Concise and Omit Irrelevant Information Employers don't want to read a long, drawn-out version of your life's accomplishments. They have stacks of resumes to read, and want to know quickly whether or not you would be a good fit for their company. So, be clear and...
