...World Forums Everett Cordy, everett.cordy@waldenu.edu Student ID#: A00186883 MGMT 8010 – Management in Human and Societal Development Winter Quarter, 2011 Professor: Dr. Kenneth Sherman Walden University January 11, 2012 Abstract This paper critically examines contrasting worldviews on corporate and civil society. To facilitate this examination, a comparison of the values and purposes of the World Social Forum is contrasted with those of the World Economic Forum. The analysis concludes that, without individual and governmental input, corporate action cannot be relied upon to improve the state of the world. . World Forums Without a doubt, the values of the “haves and have not’s” has been in increasing, not only on a national scale, but also on a global scale. From ‘state house’ to ‘hut house’, it is obvious that today’s emphasis on ‘money at any costs’ has resulted in a perversion of the Golden Rule, resulting in “those who have the gold, make the rule”. Not only has this attitude resulted in an abandonment of values that underpin traditional American values of democracy, respect and value of differing cultures, it exacerbates a legacy of American and European colonialism on a global scale. This attitude is manifested in American and European government and corporate policies and actions that erode the principles of corporate social responsibility. World Social...

...Discussion Forum 1 Question 1.5: A sales forces manager needs to have information in order to decide whether to create a custom motivation program or purchase one offered by a consulting firm. What are the dilemmas the manger faces in selecting either of these alternatives? With selecting either of the programs, the sales force manager can face dilemmas. Before deciding on any of the programs the manger must know the goals that he/she is looking to accomplish. After deciding on the goals the manager needs to decide between conducting the research individually or buying and using research for the consulting firm. With the custom motivation program the manger can conduct his/her own research. With conducting the research the manager needs to look at the existing levels of motivation and see what enticements would need to be used to help the employees change to the desired motivation. The manager can look at information that has already been used. For instance a change in another part of the business could have an effect on the level of motivation that the employees have. If the enticements help increase the motivation of the employee then the custom motivation program will be good for the manger. If the custom motivation program fails then the consulting firm may be best. With the consulting firm the manger will have to think about investing before making an agreement with the firm. The manger need to invest in a firm that will fall into the business budget. Going over budget...

...speakers’ chosen forum. The Supreme Court breaks down forums into three types: traditional public forums, designated forums, and nonpublic forums. See Perry Educ. Ass’n v. Perry Educators’ Ass’n, 460 U.S. 37 (1983). Finally, some public property is not a forum at all. Traditional public forums include public parks, sidewalks and areas that have been traditionally open to political speech and debate. Speakers’ in these areas enjoy the strongest First Amendment protections. In traditional public forums, the government may not discriminate against speakers based on their views. This is called “viewpoint discrimination.” The government may, however, subject speech to reasonable, content-neutral restrictions on its time, place, and manner. When considering government restrictions of speech in traditional public forums, courts use “strict scrutiny.” Under strict scrutiny, restrictions are allowed only if they serve a compelling state interest and are narrowly tailored to meet the needs of that interest. Sometimes, the government opens public property for public expression even though the public property is not a traditional public forum. These are designated public forums. After opening a designated public forum, the government is not obligated to keep it open. However, so long as the government does keep the forum open, speech in the forum receives the same First Amendment protections as speech in traditional public forums. Examples of designated public forums include municipal...

...Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum When I think of musical comedy, Stephen Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is the first show that comes to mind. Just three years ago, I had never heard of Forum before, until my high school choir director announced that it would be our 2008 musical. I was hesitant to audition at first, not knowing the plot or what I was getting myself into, but now I can honestly say that it was my favorite musical production ever to be a part of. Forum, a musical farce written in two acts and Sondheim’s first work on Broadway both as composer and lyricist, is “a non-stop laugh-fest in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero), in exchange for freedom” (MTI 1). In Sondheim’s own words, “there’s not a wasted moment in Forum, and the truth and the test of it is that the play is just as funny when performed by a group of high school students as it is when it is performed on Broadway. It is never not funny. The reason is, it is based on situations so solid that you cannot not laugh” (Gordon 25). A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a collaboration between American librettist Burt Shevelove, playwright Larry Gelbart, and musical theater extraordinaire, Stephen Sondheim. Originally, Shevelove had done a version of a Roman comedy in college and thought that a professional Broadway production would be very...

...¿Qué me deja el foro? tanto a nivel de experiencias en la organización y a nivel de motivación para mi vida o iniciativas emprendedoras. Dentro de las experiencias a nivel de la organización el foro “La Receta del Emprendedor 2014” me enseño a trabajar en equipo, a generar ideas creativas, a respetar la opinión de los demás, a aportar de manera positiva para alcanzar un mismo fin. El trabajar en comisiones y con toda la clase demostró que existen un sinfín de opiniones, sugerencias y maneras de pensar diferentes; que estas a veces pueden generar conflicto o corroer lo poco o mucho que se ha construido, pero también me enseño que de todas estas ideas u opiniones puede surgir algo muy profesional y muy bien estructurado si existe sinergia. El ser parte de este foro me ofreció experiencia en el montaje y diseño del evento, en contactar con proveedores y panelistas, en generar temáticas emprendedoras, pero sobre todo a engranar de manera correcta y acertada cada una de las piezas que dan origen o crean un evento. A nivel personal y motivacional el ser parte de este foro me demostró que nada es imposible, que de las ideas más pequeñas o insignificante pueden surgir los proyectos más exitosos; que el fracaso no existe que simplemente es un intento fallido pero se puede seguir adelante, también me dio una guía a seguir, ya que como los panelistas dijeron en reiteradas ocasiones, “el emprender un negocio no significa ir a competir con las grandes marcas; significa un proceso...

...Marketing by the cooperative Zvi Galor www.coopgalor.com 1. Cooperative Marketing A marketing cooperative is set up in order to market and sell the surplus produce of its members, being such a surplus, as they cannot consume themselves. Marketing cooperatives generally sell agricultural produce, but there are also those, which sell fish produce or handicrafts. There are also other definitions of cooperative marketing. Margaret Digby defines a marketing cooperative as a system in which a group of farmers join together in order to carry out part or all of the processes involved in bringing the produce from the producer to the consumer. The Bank of India defines a marketing cooperative as a society of farmers, organized for the purpose of helping the members to market their produce, so as to obtain higher profits than is possible by way of private marketing [1]. The reasons for the establishment of such cooperatives are: When there is a surplus in production over the consumption. In order to save expenses for middlemen who benefit from the producer in various fields, such as: bad weight, very low prices and loans at high rates of interest. When the system in force is archaic, it does not meet the requirements at all, involves many middlemen or compensates very weakly for the producer's work. Thus, a marketing cooperative must offer its members a more efficient service than that in force, so that its members obtain a greater profit from their work. ...

...Name Course Professor Date Module 10 Forum World War 1 (WW1) had great impact on so many things. One major impact was the avenue it created for future wars and revolutions. This led to the cold war and World War 2. The WW1 led to the emancipation of women. Women now gained more right as compared to before the war. The World War 1 can also be stated to have led to the great depression. This is because the war cost billion of dollars and many countries that were involved either directly or indirectly were in debt and owed a lot of money. The other impact of the trench war was the fact that male dominance stopped being common and the patriarch ideals were also done away with as they become infamous. Male dominance became less famous as they had no careers after the war. Most of them could not get careers after the war as they had joined the army at a young age. The war had a great impact on the art especially the Russian revolution. Artist got new ideas and the themes of their paintings become one sided, most of the arts had revolution inspire themes. At this time, a group of artists emerged a good example of the groups was the Association of Russian Revolutionary Artist (ARRA). The ARRA got their themes from the Russian revolution. Sculptures and painting were created all showing the impact of the Russian revolution. For example, Lanser, an artist decorated the Moscow Railway station with paintings that demonstrated the work of the soviet construction. The Russian revolution...
