...You Decide Assignment: Week 3 Board Member Concerns I understand the concerns of ensuring that the opinions and attitudes of the target market are accurate, and this information is essential to the success of the non-profit organization. I recommend we use interviews and surveys to obtain the attitudes of the students in regards to drinking and driving. A great tool to use for surveys is http://www.surveymonkey.com. Since we know our target market is well connected using social media, we will be able to promote the survey online via social media websites and by posting some flyers around campus encouraging students to take the free survey. Interviews can be conducted on campus with approval from the university. It would be no trouble at all to request permission to attend a few psychology classes and interview a couple of students about their opinions on drinking and driving to be sure that the information collected is correct. During the interviews, cards can be passed out with the survey website information. Social Media Specialist Concerns In order to obtain credibility and establish some reference groups within the college campuses, we should begin by targeting the fraternities and sororities that belong to the universities. These established reference groups will ensure an accurate collection of information from some easily identifiable groups. Students connected with these groups are supposed to be role models for the colleges and the communities that they...

...developed and experimentally tested a virus-killing drug called Brincidofovir. Subsequently learning of the existence of the drug, a family requested that the company donate the drug to treat their little boy who contracted a deadly virus after receiving a bone-marrow transplant. The company had distributed the drug during a three year testing period, but as the drug entered the final stages of the federal and drug administration (FDA) approval, the company ceased its compassionate care program. The establishment’s CEO reportedly claimed it has denied hundreds of requests because human testing guidelines mandate two control groups, one that takes the actual drug and the other that takes sugar pills, placing very ill people at-risk because the sugar pill is useless. As a result, the organization focused on getting the drug approved for widespread consumer use which entails denying interim requests for the drug, and presents an ethical dilemma for the company. Chimerix sought the research to find a solution to this ethical dilemma, gauging the social temperature of the people affected and risking the reputation of the organization at whole. Chimerix argued if the drug was made available to this one ill child, it could not ethically justify denying the drug to the hundreds of other ill individuals who requested the medication. Not making this drug available to the ill child would show a lack of compassion within the organization. The CEO also pointed out the campaign waged against...

...Lester(2010). “47% of online adults use social networking sites, and 73% of teens and young adults are a member of at least one social network.” Angster, Frank, & Lester (2010). Electronic means of communication, such as emails, text messaging, and social networking websites, have become a worldwide social phenomenon. Do the stressors in our complicated lives or busy schedules leave us with little time to make a phone call or drop by for a visit? Do such technological advances in our society discourage face to face communication? Are individuals today feeling the pressures more than ever to fit in with their peers? Perhaps low self esteem issues, anxiety, or loneliness contribute to the need to feel loved or popular, such as chatting to a stranger on a dating website, or adding as many “friends” as you can on face book even though you don’t really know them. Or maybe these types of communication really have become a convenient and efficient way of communicating? In this paper I will examine the possible explanations for such a huge reliance on electronic communication, the potential advantages and disadvantages of such communication; including the effects of this communication on behaviour and relationships, as well as how electronic communication compares to face to face communication. The global cellular phone market is a multibillion dollar industry, where approximately half of all human beings on the planet own and use a cell phone (Reid, & Red, 2007). ...

The Internet has its roots in 1960, when the US government attempted to build robust, fault-tolerant and distributed computer networks. However, the beginning of the worldwide process of Internet expansion may be dated to 1980 and was triggered by the development of new networking technologies and mergers of many less significant networks with the financial support of the National Science Foundation and other private commercial funding. This led to further advancement in technological improvements and their incorporations as well as wider participation of ordinary users all over the world. The Web rapid expansion reaches back to the 90’. According to the Internet World Stats:...

... It also means that an employer can change the terms of the employment relationship with no notice and no consequences. “For example, an employer can alter wages, terminate benefits, or reduce paid time off. In its unadulterated form, the U.S. at-will rule leaves employees vulnerable to arbitrary and sudden dismissal, a limited or on-call work schedule depending on the employer’s needs, and unannounced cuts in pay and benefits (Boone, 2012).” Listed below are a few scenarios that was requires an examination of the at-will doctrine, as to whether or not an individual can be fired for the following reasons and if so, what action should be taken by the Chief Operating Officer of the company: I. Anna’s boss refused to sign her leave request for jury duty and now wants to fire her for being absent without permission. “In the state of Georgia, 34-1-3, (a) It shall be unlawful for any employer or the agent of such employer to discharge, discipline, or otherwise penalize an employee because the employee is absent from his or her employment for the purpose of attending a judicial proceeding in response to a subpoena, summons for jury duty, or other court order or process which requires the attendance of the employee at the judicial proceeding.

...Public Offering). Sadly the midsize company where the COO was hired has some issues that must be addressed before addressing the public. Here are the eight scenarios that the company and new COO currently face. 2 First scenario, John posted a rant on Facebook page in which he criticized the company’s most important customer. Nowadays when working for a company, employees should know that there is no privacy when it comes to what you as individuals do or express on a social media, there is always somebody that will get the message and pass the information to a superior. In this case, John not only put the credibility of the company in jeopardy, but also his job and the trust of the client. Now the company not only has to do some damage control repair but also needs to review the policy regarding social media and let know the employees the consequences of posting negative comments about the company’s client on personal blogs or social media. The company should implement something similar to what hospitals use to protect patient confidentiality called HIPAA that stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Word of mouth can make or break a business or company, since it does not look like the company has a policy that address this issue, John should be sanction or suspended. Employees must attend a new training on what information not to disclose outside of the company...

...Mariangela Monsalve Are social networking sites a good recruitment sources? HRM 538 Social networking has significantly enabled human resources to communicate and share information with people, which has increased recruitment efforts. Recruiting is about building relationships and making connections, often long before a potential candidate is even considering a career shift or contemplating a new position. According to the 2010 Employee Engagement Survey conducted by the International Association of Business Communicators Research Foundation and Buck Consultants, the most common forms of communication used to foster engagement across companies are e-mail (83 percent) and an organization's intranet (75 percent). The survey also found that almost half of employers currently communicate through instant messaging and on social websites including Facebook and Twitter. Social Networking origin: The first noticeable social network site, known as SixDegrees.com, launched in 1997. SixDegrees.com allowed users to create profiles, list their Friends and beginning in 1998, surf the Friends lists. Despite other sites that already had profiles online such as major dating sites, community sites, AIM and ICQ, friends on these individual sites were not visible to others. Therefore, SixDegrees was the first to combine these features. From 1997 to 2001, a number of community tools began supporting various combinations of profiles and a shared friends list. AsianAvenue, BlackPlanet, and MiGente...

...Executive Summary: Right to information refers to people’s right to have all the necessary information regarding the political, legal and similar areas which is directly correlated to their daily lives. In Bangladesh, though people have very limited or no information at all due to lack of willingness and ability to obtain the necessary information’s. Thus the general people should look forward how this bridge can be closed between themselves and the government officials to obtain the necessary and rightful information. The technology is advancing day by day throughout the world. Thus obtaining information has become much easier and flexible. Not only the general people but it is also the responsibility of those who are the holders of that information. They are also equally responsible for passing those to the general people with full efficiency and accuracy. Sadly due to the negligence of both parties this information flow is reduced compared to the early days since the nation’s independence in 1971. Lots of problem is faced by the nation’s citizens specially the people who belong to the rural areas. Due to unaware of their own right, thousands of people had faced difficulties on both professional and personal context. Our focus is on the factors of this decreased information flow as well as the initiatives to be taken which can reduce this massive problem in our country.

...rant on his Facebook page in which he criticized the company’s most important customer. Facebook is used for social networking and social media. John should not have criticized a customer simply because he thought was important in disclosing the problematic situation. Facebook blogging is an unrestricted segment for permitted communication that not quite the same as the water cooler. Blogging can spread throughout company cubicles and respond within seconds of the latest gossip in the company or with employees (Pike, 2011). John’s duty as an employee would have been respected if he followed proper channels by requesting to see his supervisor, discuss the situation with the proper authority and left it at that. Upon initial employment, employees are required to attend company policy meetings. During these meetings, employees are mandated to sign an agreement to adhere to company policies. Employees are encouraged to use discretionary means when using Facebook or blogging on the internet any information in an approximate manner so as to keep from criticizing the company or employees. “Failure to follow this policy may result in disciplinary action, including possible termination. All blogs and other public Internet communications are subject to the other policies contained in the company handbook, including but not limited to the Internet and Computer use policies”(Gary, 2009).
