...Zachary N.J. Horn Department of Psychology, Center for Behavioral and Cognitive Study, George Mason University, David J. King Hall, 4400 University Drive, 3064 Fairfax, VA 22030-444, USA Accepted 12 September 2003 Abstract Leadership theory has not lived up to its promise of helping practitioners resolve the challenges and problematics that occur in organizational leadership. Many current theories and models are not contextualized, nor do the dynamic and critical issues facing leaders drive their construction. Alternatively, practitioners too often approach leadership problems using trial and error tactics derived more from anecdotes and popular fads than validated scientific data and models. Yet, while this gap between theory and research has bedeviled the leadership community for much of its history, there have been few if any systematic examinations of its causes. In this review, we have sought to highlight the particular barriers on the leadership practice and theory-building/testing constituencies, respectively, that constrain efforts to integrate them. We also offer a number of propositions and guidelines that we hope can break through these barriers and help stakeholders create a more effective leadership theory and practice symbiosis (LTPS). Finally, we have offered two cases of effective LTPS as examples and models for such integrative research efforts. D 2003 Published by Elsevier Inc.

...Kevin Lin Mr. Ross 4th Period Chamber Honors Credit Research Paper Brahms and Paganini Research Paper Paganini was born in Genoa, at the time a geographic principality within the kingdom of Italy. Although Paganini is well known for his virtuosic caprices on the violin, paganini also played the guitar as a major cornerstone of his musical achievement, as well as the mandolin, which he learned from his father. Although one would expect Paganini to have a musical upbringing, his father was actually a trader who, due to the lack of success in his trading career, supplemented the family’s income with mandolin playing on the streets of Genoa. Thus, Paganini’s early life found him searching for violin lessons from local violin teachers since his...

...Religion has been important to many people throughout many years. I chose to do my paper on Judaism and upon doing so I learned that it is One of the oldest religions. The religion was founded within Israel and I Will compare it with the Hinduism religion. Judaism started off between 1900-1700 BCE with a man called Abraham who made a covenant with God, this then made him what’s called a patriarch. Judaism being a Monotheistic religion has the meaning of worship only one God. God Wanted the Jews to be obedient. Doing some research at Axia College, it States God is thought as a loving father, who is nonetheless infinity Majestic. (Axia, 2005) The Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) or the Old Testament tells all of the Jewish history with the stories of how the World was created, the other patriarch, and Moses and the Matriarchs. The Ten Commandments are also found in the Tanakh and are all Explained. It explains the Ten Commandments as God’s moral and Ethical laws. Moses was told these laws by God, to speak to his people about Living their lives by these laws and they would go up to Heaven. A Prophet is a person who hears God’s warnings with those who do not Obey the commandments. There are some other Jewish scriptures like The Torah, Nevim, Ketuvim, Talmud, and the Gemara. With a Rabbi, They dedicate their life with teaching the word of God in their Scriptures. My paper will include the Jewish history, an interview, and A comparison with Hinduism, because...

Abstract On the basis of an extended review of literature dedicated to experimental studies of sponsorship effects on brand perceptions, this paper introduces a detailed framework of sponsorship persuasion process. Considering the central “transfer” between event and brand perceptions, the model also includes moderating effects (such as congruence) and focuses on specific components of functional, affective and symbolic customer value. In Spring 2007, a Web survey was conducted to evaluate the impact of Louis Vuitton’s sponsorship of America’s Cup. A total sample of 1,400 European respondents was developed thanks to the collaboration of eight Universities in France, Germany, Italy and Spain, working together within the “International Network on Consumer Behaviour Studies”. The model and hypotheses were tested with P.L.S. regression and textual data analysis. Very interesting results...

...The Christian Democrats and Liberal Party joined in the protest demanding the Stasi be dissolved and not simply reborn under a new title. Modrow inevitably succumbed to the pressure and promised that there would be no resurrection of the Stasi under a new name. During the meeting on the 4th of January 1990, the Neues Form maintained a request for demonstrations inside the Stasi HQ under fear of files being destroyed, it is said that the Stasi had already began destroying evidence since October but couldn’t shred paper fast enough and resorted to mixing ripped up pieces of paper together in order to make it near impossible to recover the files. The next round table talk on January 16th 1990 was interrupted when a live news report came on that stated 1000s of people were gathered outside the Stasi HQ ready to storm the gates, Modrow and company rushed to the scene and found that the large groups of protesters have been spread thin throughout the Stasi headquarters surrounded by smashed in windows and broken down doors with files dispersed in every direction, and so ended the reign of horror induced by the Stasi. After the invasion of the Stasi headquarters, a committee was set up to supervise the dissolving of the Stasi officially and archivists were brought in to archive...

...problem of factory farming, but it is still a long way from being fixed. Factory farms are used to produce everyday products like bacon, pork, steak, chicken nuggets, milk, cheese, etc. The cost of buying a burger at a local McDonalds is around one to three dollars. If companies were forced by legislation and government officials to practice proper farming techniques, the price of your beloved McDonald’s hamburger will be sure to rise. This could cause a brief stage of net losses for food manufacturing companies. I think it is mandatory to incur these extra expenses for the sake of humanity and animal rights. A small loss in profits is far less important than the pain and suffering these animals have to deal with on a daily basis. In this research paper I will discuss the ethical dilemmas and the conditions of the factory farms, as well as solutions to the problem of animals not having the proper rights. Main Points Animals come in all different shapes and sizes. Society debates how to classify some animals. Scientist view animals as operating equipment. Businessmen see them as commodities. Religious advocates classify them as God’s gift to us. And the majority of Americans see them as food. In America we cannot keep our minds off of cheap tasty food. With an exponential increasing obesity rate at 60 million, the US ranks in as the most obese nation in the world. Meat production has rapidly increased from 44 million tons in 1950, to 211 million in 1997. Also 90 percent of the poultry...

...Candice Payne English 102 Research paper on carnival Mardi gras Just the name Mardi gras conjures up images of drunken, bead-wearing revelers dancing through the streets of New Orleans. But how, and when, did this huge mid-winter party get started? Here's a look at the history of Mardi gras throughout the ages and across the nations. Herman states, Historians tell us that the ancient Romans probably kicked off the Mardi gras celebrations. (pg. 115)Their mid-February festival known as Lupercalia honored the god Lupercus, alternately known as the god of fertility and the god of agriculture and pastoral shepherds. In either case, his party definitely had Mardi Gras-like qualities, including days of feasting and drinking. And a little enjoying the "pleasures of the flesh", probably, too -- in fact, the term Carnival, often synonymous with Mardi gras, is derived from the Latin expression meaning "farewell to the flesh." Like most of the ancient Roman and Greek festivals, Lupercalia was adopted and adapted by the Church as a way of subtly converting the local pagans to Christianity. The carnival-like celebration of Lupercalia thus morphed into a last "fling" before the beginning of the Lenten period. Lent refers to the 40 days of pertinence and purification celebrated between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. During Lent, the religiously faithful refrain from a number of indulgences of the "flesh", including eating meat. (pg. 220) What began as a Roman-based...

...“I am one or two days away from death; they will shoot me dead, thus if you give birth to a son please name him after me.” ----An Eritrean victim of human trafficking from The Sinai Desert INTRODUCTION This paper examines the issue of human trafficking as it relates to human security in the Horn of Africa. Trafficking takes place by criminal means through the threat or use of force, coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, abuse of positions of power or abuse of positions of vulnerability. Further, it relates to all stages of the trafficking process: recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of person. An agreed definition of human trafficking exists under Article 3 of the “Palermo Protocol” on trafficking in persons which went into effect on 25 December 2003. This internationally agreed definition focuses on exploitation of human beings – be it for sexual exploitation, other forms of forced labor, slavery, servitude, or for the removal of human organs. Trafficking is not just a transnational crime across international borders; the definition applies to internal domestic trafficking of human beings. In the Horn of Africa (HOA), both cross border and internal trafficking of women and children is prevalent. For example, in Ethiopia, children are being trafficked into armed conflict where it is reported that over 20,000 of them have been victims. Almost all of the countries in the region have been identified as sources, transit points or destination...

...A French paleontologist by the name of Philippe Taquet named this approximately 110-115 million-year-old dinosaur genus in 1976. The bones were discovered in the Gadoufaoua beds of northeast Niger, Africa just ten years earlier. There are currently two nearly complete skeletal structures associated with this dinosaur; both found in the southern Sahara Desert, and one of them Taquet researched. This paper will continue to discuss the Ouranosaurus in its entirety. It will start with background information, including how to pronounce its name, what it looked like, how it was classified, and which dinosaurs it was similar to. The paper will end with more descriptive aspects, such as when and where the dinosaur lived, what and how it ate, who its...

...THE BROADWAY CAFE BRINGING IT TO THE 21ST CENTURY 1 THE BROADWAY CAFE BRINGING IT TO THE 21ST CENTURY 2 Abstract I just recently inherited my grandfather's coffee shop called the Broadway Café. In this paper we are going to examine how to bring it up to the 21st century. To get a better understanding of how to bring the coffee shop into the 21st-century; we are going to talk about the history of coffee and how it got started, and what life must have been like in the 1950’s. We are also going to talk about running today's coffee shops with today's technology. Wi-Fi allows us to access the Internet, check our bank accounts, and read electronic books & magazines. Another piece of technology we're going to talk about is a Point of Sale or POS unit, which is an electronic cash register. THE BROADWAY CAFE BRINGING IT TO THE 21ST CENTURY 3 History Coffee supposedly started in Constantinople, Turkey. According to the International Coffee Organization: “The global spread of coffee growing and drinking began in the Horn of Africa, where, according to legend, coffee trees originated in the Ethiopian province of Kaffa. It is recorded that the fruit of the plant, known as coffee cherries, was eaten by slaves taken from present day Sudan into Yemen and Arabia through the great port of its day, Mocha. Coffee was certainly being cultivated in Yemen by the 15th century and probably much earlier. In an attempt to prevent its cultivation elsewhere, the Arabs imposed...

...individual demand curves for a good. General theory states that consumers will buy less of a product as the price increases. However, marketing can cause the demand for the good or service to become more inelastic, which causes consumers to still buy even when the price increases. This is because strategic marketing plans have a goal to convince consumers that there is no real substitute for the good or service. Some argue that consumer behavior is manipulated by marketing and that consumers need to operate within a “laissez faire” market. This paper will discuss the impacts of marketing on consumer behavior in the fast food economy and the ability to generate demand curves. It will test the following three hypotheses: (1) consumer behavior is influenced by marketing (2) effective marketing impacts the indifference curve (3) marketing can override the individual and market demand theory. The research paper will present the research that supports the psychological and economic theory of consumer behavior in the fast food industry to support the results demonstrating the economic effect from the efforts of marketing. Introduction Fast food has become a major source of nutrition for many Americans, and therefore has a large impact on the American economy in various ways. To begin to paint the picture of how important the Fast Food industry is to the U.S economy, it is important to understand its beginnings. Industrialization and automation turned out to be a...
