...Case Analysis: Susan G. Komen for the Cure vs. Planned Parenthood By Katharina Volkmer Situation Susan G. Komen for the Cure (SGK) decided to stop making grants for breast exams to Planned Parenthood (PP), a decision that the Foundation later reversed. The first announcement caused an immense social media backlash, political posturing and a huge amount of donations for Planned Parenthood. SGK’s Strategy In mid-December, SGK informed PP about stopping grants. On January 31, the Associated Press broke the news and an immense social media reaction started (Miller, 2012). People’s dissatisfaction about the decision was expressed on Twitter, Facebook and on various individual blogs. News stations reported about the reactions on social media platforms, causing numerous reports in TV and radio broadcast and print coverage. Even though SGK initiated the announcement, for about 24 hours, it did not provide a statement, no expression nor an apology about its decision. SGK did not respond to negative comments and its activity on Twitter was not frequent (Miller, 2012). The organization even declined interviews with network news and major newspapers. Its defensive position seemed like the Foundation was hoping that the crisis would end soon. SGK’s position was criticized publicly, as it did not listen and engage with affected groups of interest that supported it for many years. In the late evening of February 1st, the Foundation finally started publishing responses...

One answer is five Ernie French Anxious parents await their children's return from the gaokao college entrance exam in Beijing, China. Key Concepts China’s growth has been fueled by lowskilled cheap labor. As the population ages and labor costs rise, China must create more highvalue jobs, which are often connected with innovation. Recent education reforms seek to foster innovation and entrepreneurship. They include relaxing central control of the curriculum, retraining teachers, reducing student academic load, and broadening college admissions criteria beyond test results. Central to the reform debate is the College Entrance Exam, or gaokao, which has played a role in Chinese culture for centuries. Some educators have started to experiment but reforming the gaokao will require a deeper shift in Chinese attitudes. years of education reforms that began with the Chinese government’s recognition that it needs to improve its teaching system as the population ages and the country’s pool of cheap labor runs out. The plan, called the Outline of China’s National Plan for Medium and Longterm Education Reform and Development...

...Relations as Integration Propaganda Nina Nakajima University of Toronto lic perception must also be managed. To avoid a negative public image, companies can create the perception that they are effectively handling the problem. This way, public support can be maintained while actually doing very little to solve the problem. Technological change continues to accelerate, and with it come unintended consequences and risks that no one can predict in advance. . . . The economic interests that stand to benefit from those changes have become increasingly skillful at imposing their view of the respective risks and benefits upon society at large. So wrote Rampton and Stauber (2001, pp. 74-75, reviewed in this issue) in their exposé of the public relations (PR) industry. Their work and those...

B A Phase A 1918-23: The WR suffers from a few major teething problems, and struggles to survive. C Phase B 1924-28: ‘The Golden Twenties’. Things are on the up for the WR, as it recovers from its earlier problems. But beneath the surface, there are still weaknesses. Phase C 1929-1933: With the Wall St. Crash and the Great Depression, the WR comes ‘crashing’ down! Of course, during each phase, the Nazis were experiencing their own political rollercoaster ride. Broadly speaking, whenever the WR was enjoying success, the Nazis were not, and vice versa. More about that later. What was the Weimar Republic and why was it set up? A lot...

...IN ACCOUNTING EDUCATION Vol. 24, No.2 May 2009 pp.237-252 IS^SUES A Case Study on Professional Skepticism and Auditor Independence Robert L. Braun and H. Lynn Stallworth ABSTRACT The purpose of this ieaching case is to expand students' understanding of the concepts of professional skepticism and independence. The case is based on an actual incident and illustrates the exercise of professional skepticism by a staff auditor who finds himself in the uncomfortable situation of accusing a friend of fraud. The case demonstrates the difficult personal and professional choices that auditors must sometimes make. ln analyzing the case, students consider auditor independence rules, as well as the concepts of independence in appearance and independence in mental attitude. Students are asked to identify the types of audit evidence and internal controls needed to detect and prevent the fraud, and to consider the appropriate audit response to an adverse situation. If You Need Love, Get a Puppy: Keywords: auditing; professional skepticism; fraud; independence; internal controls; misappropriation of assets.
