...Jacqueline Kelleher、Pace University, NYC Campus、jk56646n@pace.edu Katy Kaestner 、Trinity University、kkaestne@trinity.edu ABSTRACT The processes and outcomes of a service learning project conducted by a group of five students and engaged with a nonprofit organization are described in this paper. The processes and outcomes are evaluated with respect to the effectiveness of service learning as an educational means and the contribution to the nonprofit sector made by service learning initiatives. The findings include the benefit of the initial ambiguity of the service learning project and the benefit of the project outputs to the nonprofit agency. It is concluded that researchers may need to figure out the absolute relationship between initial ambiguity and the effectiveness of a service learning project and that between project outputs and the benefits received by the organization concerned. It is also concluded that researchers need to study how to keep participants’ passion towards the nonprofit sector after completion of their service learning project. KEYWORDS Service learning, volunteering, nonprofit organizations, social enterprises 1. INTRODUCTION The primary goal of this paper is to describe the processes and outcomes of a service learning project conducted by a group of five students and engaged with a nonprofit organization.

...The twenty-first century is a period of unprecedented change in organizations. The popular Business press constantly documents organizational restructuring, reengineering, downsizing, and other assorted changes. Even during the robust economy of the late 1990s, many large Companies were shedding jobs at an incredible pace. Terms such as downsizing and rightsizing may suggest a one-time fix, but many experts view this as an ongoing process for organizations of the future (Richman, LS, 1993). So what is organizational change? Organizational changes are departures from the status quo for smooth trends (Huber, GP, 1995). It is the process of altering or modifying the current state in terms of behaviors or functions (Harrington, N, 2008). The forces of change are everywhere, they can be found within the organization itself and they can be found in the external environment. The internal environment is affected by the organization’s management policies and styles, system and procedures as well as employee attitudes. The external environment is affected by political, social, technological and economic stimuli outside of the organization that causes changes (Benowitz, EA, 2011). Why do organizations change? Organizations change for many reasons but there are six broad forces that bring about change: workforce changes, such as diversity; technology changes, such as mobile computing; economic changes, such as stock market fluctuations; competitive factors, such as mergers and acquisition...

...Toyota and Why It Is So Successful Robert B. Austenfeld, Jr. (Received on May 10, 2006) 1. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to describe one of the most successful companies in the world and explain the reasons for that success. Fortune magazine’s February 20, 2006 edition featured this headline on its cover: “The Tragedy of General Motors” and a story of GM’s woes by Carol J. Loomis. Two weeks later, Fortune’s next edition on March 6, 2006 had this headline on its cover: “How Toyota Does It: The Triumph of the Prius.” This stark contrast is typical of the stories circulating in the media these days. At a time when a company that was once admired and for many years held the lofty position of the world biggest automaker appears on the brink of bankruptcy1), Toyota is about to overtake it in global sales this year (O’Dell, 2005). Why is Toyota continuing to thrive at a time when other carmakers are struggling to survive? At the outset I would like to acknowledge the main source for much of the information in this paper: The Toyota Way: 14 Management Principles from the World’s Greatest Manufacturer by Jeffrey K.
