...Robins & Boldero (2003) propose that dyadic relationships will become more intimate and trusting as the level of consistent commensurability of a person’s actual self, and perceptions of the other’s view of his or her actual self, increases. The implication for the development of authentic leader–member relationships in unconstrained settings is that followers and leaders will be most likely to form trusting and close relationships with persons who see them as they see themselves, i.e.—persons who see their true selves. Moreover, when ought selves serve as the source of commensurability, the follower will conclude the leader bhas the same standards as meQ (Robins & Boldero, 2003, p. 64), producing interpersonal feelings of justification. Finally, when the ideal selves serve as the source of commensurability, the follower will conclude that the leader bhas the same ideals and aspirations as meQ (p. 64) and experience feelings of cooperation and alliance. Thus, the highest levels of interpersonal trust, intimacy, cooperation, and goal alignment will be achieved when the follower and leader have congruent actual, ought and ideal selves. We believe such high levels of consistent commensurability are especially conducive to the formation of authentic leader–follower relationships, as both parties share similar ought and ideal selves, and accurately present and perceive their actual selves. Particularly relevant to our focus on follower self-regulation are instances where...

...A Risk Analysis for Information Security and Infrastructure Protection Special Topics in Criminology and Criminal Justice Columbia Southern University January 03, 2012 A Risk Analysis for Information Security and Infrastructure Protection OBJECTIVE The sole purpose for performing a risk analysis for IT systems is to ensure businesses and or organizations, whether small or large to accomplish its missions by better securing the IT systems that store, process, or transmit organizational information. The primary function of risk analysis is to identify and correct the vulnerabilities and threats of an IT system. It enables management to make well-informed risk management decisions and justify the spending that is part of an IT budget. This also assists management in authorizing or accrediting the IT systems based on the performance results of a risk analysis. TARGET AUDIENCE Risk analysis will encompass a basic guide for experienced and inexperienced, technical and non-technical personnel who support or use risk analysis for their IT systems. This will included a detail listing and job description of personnel based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) research: Senior management and mission owners make decisions about the IT security budget, and they ensure the implementation of risk management for agency systems and the security provided for the IT systems.

...POSITIONING GLOBALLY BY: Billy Rubin Review of Literature Term Paper Marketing 620: Fall 2011 1 Article One: Brand Positioning Through Advertising in Asia, North America, and Europe: The Role of Global Consumer Culture In this study, the authors examine the idea of global consumer culture positioning (GCCP) as the correct positioning strategy upon entering into a new international market. “The purpose of this study is to conceptualize, measure, and examine the use of a new brand positioning strategy referred to as GCCP.” In addition, GCCP is compared to LCCP and FCCP, as well as other factors that may be influential. The authors used elements in basic theories and predicted positioning strategies that might be used in advertising. Several Hypotheses pertaining to the use of GCCP were developed and tested: H1: LCCP, FCCP, and GCCP are meaningful positioning constructs in television advertising. H2: LCCP will be used more frequently than FCCP or GCCP as the brand positioning strategy in television advertising. H3: GCCP will be identified less frequently in television advertisements in the United States relative to advertisements in other countries. H4: LCCP will be identified more frequently in television advertisements in the United States relative to advertisements in other countries. H5: Television advertisements using GCCP will more frequently use indirect, image-oriented content approaches (soft-sell) than direct, strong message argument appeals (hard-sell). H6: GCCP...

...Session 2 The Intelligence Process Information is material of every description, including that derived from observations, surveillance, reports, rumors, and other sources. The information itself may be true or false, accurate or inaccurate, confirmed or unconfirmed, relevant or irrelevant. Although the intelligence process requires that information be stored, organized, and retrieved, the production of intelligence requires much more. Intelligence is the product resulting from the collection, evaluation and interpretation of information. Thus, intelligence can be viewed as information to which something has been added. The something added is the result of analysis—an explanation of what the information means. Intelligence may be general or specialized in nature. General intelligence focuses on a broad range of criminal activities, typically in smaller agencies or jurisdictions. Specialized intelligence focuses on a particular type of criminal activity or entity, such as narcotics, industrial espionage, or organized crime. Intelligence has both tactical and strategic applications. Tactical intelligence is directed towards a short term law enforcement objective or active case, with an immediate impact in mind—arrest, forfeiture, seizure. Strategic intelligence deals with larger, more long-term issues and goals, such as the identification of major criminal individuals or syndicates, projections of growth in types of criminal activity, and the establishment...

...Inauthentic Authenticity in Nationalism The 19th century was an era of open nationalism. Driven by the nationalist, many scholars studied folk music and tried to interpret/present music works in a way that projects their own national values. In particular, they strived to claim “authenticity” or “purity” in their national music, and by claiming “authentic” or “pure” they legitimate their claims to better serve national interest. However, I shall argue here, what really matters in these claims is how people frame their words and represent their works as national. Specifically, in this paper I will focus on how German nationalism is perceived by comparing and contrasting two short excerpts, one from Richard Wagner, the other from Eduard Hanslick. I will proceed by relating some analysis based on more recent folklorists and musicologists, such as Philip Bohlman, Regina Bendix, Richard Taruskin, and Sanna Pederson, to further conceptualize the idea of nationalism inherent in German values or vice versa. In 1821 Weber’s opera Der Freischutz achieved great success both at home and abroad. It was deemed as the first model of German national opera because of its focus on folks. However, as argued by Taruskin, the opera’s national significance was in part due to its premiere as inaugural musical offering at the newly rebuilt Nationaltheater in Berlin. Thus, it was “the role of reception, alongside or even before the composer's intentions, as a determinant of nationalist significance...

...STEP 1etasblish the need for research We have to consider if it is a real need for doing a research? Research takes time and costs money. If the information is already available, decisions must be made now, we cant afford research and costs outweigh the value of the research, then the research is not needed. Step 2 define the problem or topic State your topic as a question. This is the most important step. Identify the main concepts or keywords in your question. Problem maybe either specific or general. Step 3 establish research objective Research objectives, when achieved, provide the Information necessary to solve the problem identified in Step 2. Research objectives state what the researchers must do. Crystallize the research problems and translate them into research objective. At this point, we will pin down the research question. Step 4 determine research design The research design is a plan or framework for conducting the study and collecting data. It is defined as the specific methods and procedures you use to acquire the information you need. based on the research objectives, we will determine the most appropriate research design: qualitative and/ or quantitative. • Exploratory Research: collecting information in an unstructured and informal manner. • Descriptive Research refers to a set of methods and procedures describing marketing variables. • Causal Research (experiments): allows isolation of causes and...

...CAFTA which is an agreement done with various states in the Caribbean). The EU has 35 bilateral agreements. We find that the TTIP is not only rooted in the history of the transatlantic relations but also that it is drastically different from any agreement having been discussed previously as its economic and social impacts are intertwined. AOP’s are not only of cultural importance in Europe but they also bring in an economic advantage, and protection to the consumer in regards to quality and authenticity but as well to the producer to protect them from competition. GIs on the world stage do no offer the same type of protection, and historical and legislative example show the failures of some of the systems that have been put forward. In conclusion, the TTIP would have a large impact on the nature of AOPs if there are no strong sets of protection for them. This can be detrimental to the authenticity and protection of the products. The set of recommendations are to provide an analysis of what should be taken in consideration during the next negotiations, asking firstly for an increase in transparency to allow small actors to partake in the discussion and to be aware of the potential changes ahead. There also need to be increased interest from investors and public opinion on the TTIP, this would allow for a larger general knowledge and aim to protect AOPs. In a more trade related manner there needs to be strong SPS trade barriers between the US and the EU in order to guarantee...

...Website Comparison: An Analysis of Two Online Health Resources Stephanie Elliott Governors State University Website Comparison: An Analysis of Two Online Health Resources The internet provides a wealth of information, and can be a very important tool when it comes to research. However, it is essential to note that just because something is available online, it does not automatically mean it is true. Anyone can create a website and post content. It is up to the individual to evaluate websites for themselves to determine their authenticity. The use of the internet to access health care information is becoming very common as well. A quick google search for “health information” lists https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ (MedlinePlus) in the top three. I chose this site as being reliable and credible because the information I find is similar to the content in my textbooks, and most of it is also supported by research foundations and clinical trials. On the other hand, there are many websites providing health-related information that seems legitimate, but sometimes hard to believe. An example of such a website is http://www.doctoryourself.com (Doctor Yourself). I chose this site because I wanted to learn more about the author’s claims that vitamins can cure diseases. This paper compares and contrasts MedlinePlus with Doctor Yourself and examines each website’s potential credibility. Discussion To determine a website’s credibility, it is necessary to evaluate...

...time. Offices without walls are another symbolic arrangement promoting openness. In some organisations, even the chief executive does not have a separate exclusive cabin; floor space is shared by other colleagues at different levels in the organisation. This willingness to share and this openness results in greater clarity of objectives and free interaction among people. As a result of openness, there should be more unbiased performance feedback. Indicators of openness in an organisation will be productive meetings and improved implementation of systems and innovations. CONFRONTATION Confrontation can be defined as facing rather than shying away from problems. It also implies deeper analysis of interpersonal problems. All this involves taking up challenges. The term confrontation is being used with some reservation and means putting up a front as contrasted with putting one's back (escaping) to the problem. A better term would be confrontation and exploration (CE). Let us use the term confrontation in this sense of confrontation and exploration, i.e. facing a problem and working jointly with others to find a...
