...I look at completing the online MBA, much like an athlete running a marathon. For a bystander, from the outside it would seem ridiculous, that a human would put his body through the unnecessary stress of running 26.2 miles for no rhyme or reason. However, the athletes set out to achieve their personal goals. Many of my colleagues at work probably think like the bystander, “We are already overworked and add to that do an MBA? “. That would seem like piling on more to an already busy schedule. However, I believe that the MBA program to me would be as a sip of Gatorade™ to the marathoner. Just as the marathoner, I have a desire to run the distance, at a pace I can handle. I need the resourcefulness to find time to study, the initiative to look at every step as a step forward, and the persistence to say, “I may be slow, but I will not give up!” To me hope and confidence are conflicting ideas. Both are positives, however, if you have the confidence that you can run the distance, you do not need to “hope” that you will get the finish line. Nevertheless, when you are not confident, hope is the emotion that can get you through. Optimism is of paramount importance, as the opposite of this mindset could quickly eat away the positive spirit. (Matthew 26: 41) “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Resiliency as defined by Merriam-Webster is “the capability of a strained body to recover its size and shape after...

...My MBA Program and what I have learned Thomas Domino University of Phoenix LAW/531: Business Law June 27, 2012 Michael Tancredi Good evening, my name is Thomas Domino AKA Tommy Tucker. I have been involved in businesses all my life. I’m an Artist. I started when I lived in Fairlawn N.J. with a paper route when I was 12 years old and continued after my family moved the next year to a small town in upstate N.Y. called Washingtonville. My dad being a Cost Engineer for Kellogg heating and coolant equipment designs, and with a large family, he always encouraged all of my 5 brothers and 2 sisters to help with family chores; that included outside projects. One of our family businesses was hand decorated felt family character images glued to ceramic plates. My mother and father would approach friends and acquaintances from our neighborhood and the church as customers. The plate business grew so fast, I had to use my Artistic talents to help my mother design and produce the plates. Years later my mother was still making decorative plates for her “mad money” to spend in Atlantic City, N.J. at the casinos. During my teenage years, I painted signs for local businesses, and also had a lawn mowing business. So I learned the art of dealing with customers, delivering a product or providing a service for the exchange for money values. I also trapped animals, and sold the pelts to middleman fur dealers around Christmas time; used the money...

...idea of adding a MBA program complies with the institute’s objectives and mission. Neither the core competencies of the institute nor the MBA program attributes are well defined at this point. If the MBA program can fulfill the expectations of expanding the student base, creating valuable ties with businesses and secure the survival of the institute, depends on a program that appeals to students as well as fulfills the requirements and needs of businesses (Russell, 2014). The recommended steps are to identify the core competencies of the institute and create a better definition of the MBA programs attributes. Additional considerations are the financial resources, the chances of success and the positive differentiators between the Strutledge Institute and competing colleges in that area. Course of Action Identify core competencies of the institute and what customer base it wants to serve with the new MBA program. A sample survey of potential students is highly recommended to identify the order qualifiers and the important qualities that students consider before joining an MBA program. Without this information, a new MBA program will most likely fail (Russell, 2014). In order to identify the successful integration of graduates in the job market, an employer survey is necessary to obtain the needs and requirements of potential employers since this can be an order winner for candidates. The analysis from the survey data is crucial for the structure of a new MBA program and a critical...

...Training and Mentoring Program xxxxxxxxxxxxx HRM/531 December 5, 2011 Dr. Penny Wilkins Evaluation Ford provides many kinds of training programs to its employees, dealers and suppliers. For successful training programs it is important to see the reaction, transfer and its effect on the employees and company. Six Sigma is a successful training program Ford started in 1999. The first phase of Six Sigma called for customer satisfaction. "In fact, one and a half points of customer satisfaction drive about one point more loyalty. In North America alone, this translates into more than $2 billion in incremental revenue and roughly $100 million in profit." (http://www.qualitydigest.com). The employees gave a good response to this training and earned green belts, black belts, master black belts. Master black belts helped train senior leaders to apply Six Sigma in their departments.

...Smythe From: Director of Human Resources Date: April 20, 2011 Subject: Volunteer Program I am writing this memo in response to the email request that you sent me about adding the Center for Non-Violence to our volunteer program. I would like to start off by saying that we here at Dawson & Engels greatly appreciate your input and your interest in expanding our volunteer program to better help the community. However, we are not going to be able to include the program you suggested in our list of company volunteer programs. The reason we cannot include this program is not because of what it currently does, but because of how it’s past may concern certain members of our company. The organization in question has a history of protesting military action in response to political problems. This specific part of the organization's background could offend veterans and the families of soldiers who are currently active. In order to ensure that none of our customers or employees are upset, declining this particular organization seems like the best decision. I understand your reasons for suggesting this organization, because they do a lot of great work with helping to provide conflict resolutions in schools. I have gotten to see how this program works first hand and I agree that it does help out with the vast number of violent outbreaks that are going on in schools. Even though this program could not be added to our company list, I encourage you to help out with the organization...

Because these types of programs are commonplace within any market, Kudler needs to develop a complete database system, with including current and former customers. This database is used specifically for advertising of the new program and data collection of sales. Kudler would need to update or create a new website to add this new program and help customers understand the benefits of registering for the program. Legally Kudler needs to stay within the boundaries set up for E-commerce. The rules for online business and e-mail advertisement are very far-reaching some of which include an opt-out link that allows any consumer to stop receiving e-mail advertisements. This must be easily viewable and verifiable to the recipient for online spam advertisement. Electronic contracts are legal and binding along with electronic signatures, these forms of agreements must have legal disclaimers visible for the customer to read.

In the past decade, Ball State University has experienced growth in activities which are categorized as Sponsored Programs, with the potential for additional growth into the future. With growth comes the need for clarity in policies and procedures to be followed in the administration of these activities in order to meet University and sponsor requirements, and to provide the best possible support and service to all parties involved. It is important Sponsored Programs are identified as such and that each award is routed through the appropriate offices to assure that the acceptance and administration of these activities meet both University and sponsor requirements and that various technical, legal, and financial issues be properly addressed. I.

...The organization that I have chosen to write about throughout this course, I could not find any programs or organizations they sponsor. So for the purpose of this assignment I will just write about the Guardian ad Litem program itself. I could easily give an analysis of this organization based off the six policy elements. This organization is awesome and I would recommend checking it out. The missions, goals, and objectives are great for this organization. The mission statement is: “Advocating for the child’s best interest is the Program’s only purpose. These Program Standards are to be interpreted to support the mission”. (Guardian ad Litem, 2004) This organizations goals & objectives are simple for powerful. This organization is purely to help children in the courts system. They believe that a child should be loved and have safe environment no matter what. The forms of benefits and services delivered are coordinated with the courts. On this org’s website they provide a standard of operations and it explains everything, having to do with benefits and services. Entitlement rules are easy for this org; it is solely for the children in the court system that has no voice. This org speaks for them in the courts when no one else will.

...behavior is an ongoing topic of discussion for law enforcement officials and agencies. There are many programs geared toward helping juveniles to cope with their issues and receive the help and treatment needed to be successful in life. In the city of Petersburg, Virginia there is a Firesetters Program. This program addresses the problem of fires set by children. A Juvenile Firesetter is a child typically between the ages of 4 and 14 who exhibits an unusual interest or curiosity in fires, or a child with a history of fire play. This program also seeks to find the reason behind the setting of fires or what triggers the child to set fires. Some reasons could be the divorce of parents, frustration, anger, loneliness, a crisis at home, death, or issues or problems at school ( City of Petersburg, 2015). This program also meets with the parents and the child or children to conduct confidential sessions with the Public Educator or Fire Marshal. An interview is conducted to try to find out how long the problem has existed, the primary reason for it, and the dangers associated with it. An evaluation is done and follow up visits are scheduled for the child. Another diversion program in the state of Virginia is the Community Services Program. This program allows youth to work without pay in a government or non-profit agency and it is an alternative program for active jail time. The youth are required to complete their allotted hours of service and if they...
