...Public art is a topic that is widely debated and somewhat controversial. Since individual opinions on art in general can be very nuanced and subjective, it is a common problem that some part of a population has an issue with a particular piece of public art. So what happens when the disagreement is directly between the public who is observing the piece and those who put it in place? It’s never really clear-cut who is right or wrong. One might say that it should be up to the observer, but maybe the observer doesn’t put full effort into understanding the art or simply can’t understand it. Should public art reflect public opinion or should it serve to shape the public’s perception of art? These are complex questions on a topic that is very...

...It is widely acknowledge that the scope and nature of public policy problems play increasingly active roles in times of rapid changes. Public policies have always and will continue to influence if not affect our selves and lives, families, communities, societies. By nature and all intent and purpose public policies influence our daily interactions to such a profound extent that with a closer look, we realize that we need to be active in all aspects of public policies including their analysis. (Gambia 2008). Public policies are generally aimed at one or more of the following, reconciling or fostering cooperation that would probably not occur without government influence or encouragement and protecting the right of individuals. The local policy process appears to be most influenced by consensus and coalition building, unlike that national policy process which is largely influenced by shifting public moods and opinion as well as changes in electoral leadership). We also have to look on local power structures democratic accountabilities, business government relations and policy impacts and distribution effects (Baumgartner / Jones 1993: Cobb / Elder, 1983: Jones 1994). The nature of public policy is changing. Evaluation today has many more purposes not only accountability and learning, but also better policy planning ,improved implementation, empowerment of those without voice. Since evolution is so big in the policy system of one government or one set of policies and encompass...

...back in the 1978 eras of Mao Zedong. China’s objective in the new phase of assertiveness is to maintain strong economic ties in Africa, unlike the previous objective of building a coalition of sharing common goals with Africa as ‘Third World’. This geo-economic factor is influenced by the desire for resources to fuel its economic growth and gain energy security. China in strengthening her diplomatic and political ties sees Africa not just as ally to bid for influence and power, but as a source for natural resources . China has established Confucius Institutes (state-funded Chinese Cultural Centers) that have sprung up throughout Africa, teaching local people the culture and traditions. One wonders if China is positioning itself for taking over supremacy and advancing her Soft Policy in Africa. It is perhaps important to see our languages and cultures going out there too. The China- Africa Cooperation which was aimed at strengthening China’s diplomatic and political ties stared in post colonial Africa. The African plight of political freedom from their colonies, referred to as aggressors according to the Chinese and their desire to have a say in the international arena has given the Chinese a reason to defend their being in Africa. The analysis of the Beijing Consensus verses the Washington Consensus scores some marks for the Chinese in African’s aspirations. The Chinese economic engagement in Africa, the impact of ideational affirmative and geo-economic interests came...

...blood centers, both in terms of location and number of collections. On Friday all the attendees had a chance to participate in two of five facilitated discussions on relevant topics: advertising; education; donor retention / satisfaction; incentives; and the top ten actions to recruit and retain donors. Summary slides from the Friday discussion sessions are available at http://www.fda.gov/cber/summaries.htm. There was apparent consensus on many key points: * Successful programs are multifaceted, drawing on expertise in customer relations, advertising, public relation and, marketing. Such programs exhibit a culture of innovation and hard work. * The most successful programs have all staff members encouraging and thanking donors. * Donor recognition is an important component of a successful program. Recognition does not mean providing incentives or gifts to donors. Recognition means acknowledging donors altruistic contribution at each donation, with special recognition at milestones of their donation career such as a public thank-you for multi-gallon donors at a celebration dinner. * Successful advertising campaigns are keyed to an emotional appeal. They put a human face on the transfusion recipient and the donor. (Pictures of empty blood shelves do not work.) * Advertising increases awareness, but does not automatically result in more donors. To put a donor in the chair, the donor must be directly asked – preferably one-on-one. * Corporate...

...My leadership style is that of a consensus leader. I have been fortunate over my career to work with people with whom I have shared a desire to reach common goals. In order to be an effective consensus leader it is imperative that there is a strong foundation of communication among the group. My background and varied experiences in public relations prior to my switch to pharmacy have given me several tools which I use regularly to help encourage group discussion and communication before problems arise. I feel that it is important for co-workers to understand one another and the different backgrounds they bring to the group. One-on-one team building exercises is a tool which I have used successfully in the past not only with subordinates but also with myself and those I managed. In many of these exercises you have the opportunity to learn things about co-workers which may have never come up in general office conversation and may shed light onto certain behaviors people exhibit in the work place. A second strength of my consensus leadership style is that I never ask those whom I manage to do anything I would not do myself. For the last three years I have worked in a large academic teaching hospital inpatient pharmacy. Recently I interviewed for a management position and was asked what the first major thing I would do would be. To me that answer was simple. I would work a week of night shift, a week of evening shift and a week of day shift. If am to effectively manage people and...

...A Study On “Social capital and relation with Good Governance (GG)”. Tanzina Ferdous Department of Public Administration University of Dhaka. Preamble One of the most striking developments in social science over the last decade is the rise of interest in social capital as a mechanism for understanding socioeconomic phenomena. “Social Capital”, it’s a sociological concept, which refers to connection within and between social networks. Ours is an age of modern democracy. And this democracy is much more related to the term Social Capital. Social Capital stands for network building with one another in the society and mutual trust and belief among the people in the society. And democracy runs smoothly in that society where the Norms, Values and Networks that mean the bondage among the general people is much more strong. The term good governance is an adjective of “governance”; governance can be defined as power which exercises for effective conduct of country’s economy and social resources. The governance is good when it is able to attain this theoretical objective. Good governance can play a vital role for a healthy and independent economy and culture. And Good Governance can be ensured only when the Social Capital is strong in any society. So it can be obviously said that there is a potential relationship among Social Capital and Good Governance in the modern world perspective. Concept of Social Capital Social Capital is a Buzzword in the recent phenomenon. A growing body of research...

...social group over another, such that the ruling group or hegemon acquires some degree of consent from the subordinate, as opposed to dominance purely by force. It is used broadly to mean any kind of dominance, and narrowly to refer to specifically cultural and non-military dominance, as opposed to the related notions of empire and suzerainty Gramsci and Hegemony The idea of a ‘third face of power’, or ‘invisible power’ has its roots partly, in Marxist thinking about the pervasive power of ideology, values and beliefs in reproducing class relations and concealing contradictions. Marx recognised that economic exploitation was not the only driver behind capitalism, and that the system was reinforced by a dominance of ruling class ideas and values – leading to Engels’s famous concern that ‘false consciousness’ would keep the working class from recognising and rejecting their oppression.False consciousness, in relation to invisible power,...

...|HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION | |INTRODUCTION | Humanitarian intervention poses a hard test for any international society built on principles of sovereignty, non-intervention, and the non-use of force. Immediately after the Holocaust, the society of states established laws prohibiting genocide, forbidding the mistreatment of civilians, and recognizing basic human rights. These humanitarian principles often conflict with principles of sovereignty and non-intervention. Sovereign states are expected to act as guardians of their citizens’ security, but what happens if states behave as criminals towards their own people, treating sovereignty as a licence to kill? Should tyrannical states be recognized as legitimate members of international society and accorded the protection afforded by the non-intervention principle? Or, should states forfeit their sovereign rights and be exposed to legitimate intervention if they actively abuse or fail to protect their citizens? Related to this, what responsibilities do other states or institutions have to enforce human rights norms against governments that massively violate them? Armed humanitarian intervention was not a legitimate practice during the cold war because states placed more...

...contract underlines the important role that cultural differences play in international negotiation. For one country’s negotiators, time is money; for another’s, the slower the negotiations, the better and more trust in the other side. This author’s advice will help negotiators bridge the cultural differences in international negotiation. (This article first ran in the September/October 2004 issue of Ivey Business Journal). International business deals not only cross borders, they also cross cultures. Culture profoundly influences how people think, communicate, and behave. It also affects the kinds of transactions they make and the way they negotiate them. Differences in culture between business executives—for example, between a Chinese public sector plant manager in Shanghai and a Canadian division head of a family company in Toronto– can create barriers that impede or completely stymie the negotiating process. The great diversity of the world’s cultures makes it impossible for any negotiator, no matter how skilled and experienced, to understand fully all the cultures that may be encountered. How then should an executive prepare to cope with culture in making deals in Singapore this week and Seoul the next? In researching my book The Global Negotiator: Making, Managing, and Mending Deals Around the World in the Twenty-First Century (Palgrave Macmillan, 2003), I found that ten particular elements consistently arise to...

The Chattanooga Ice Cream case is a case study where senior officers of a food company have opposing views for turning a declining business around during a crisis. The general manager, Charles Moore is faced with several challenges. He has a consensus-oriented style that asks for his team’s opinion before making a decision.

Keywords: Conflict, Peer Relationships, Conflict Resolution Style, Group dynamics, Interdepartmental Relations, Management communication, Candor, Teams CHATTANOOGA CASE ANALYSIS ASSIGNMENT 2 Charles Moore’s conflict resolution style, indecisiveness, and management of group dynamics drove his business unit to near failure.
