...Holdings of Kentov ex rel. NLRB v. Sheet Metal Workers’ Int’l Association Local 15, AFL-CIO Following a union organized picketing process involving a secondary boycott on March 17, 2004, a hospital submitted an unfair labor practice charge with the NLRA, claiming that the union's conduct encompassed an unlawful secondary boycott, in violation of section 8(b)(4)(ii)(B) of the NLRA, 29 U.S.C. § 158(b)(4)(ii)(B). The claim encompassed specific activity that detoured secondary employers patients and visitors with items interpreted as forcing or requiring the hospital to stop facilitating business with outside contractors in which the union has a primary labor dispute. On July 27, 2004, the NLRB filed petition, asking for an interim injunction pursuant to section 10(l) of the NLRA, 29 U.S.C. § 160(l), regarding the decisions in relation to the union. The district court accepted the petition, finding cause to believe that the union had perpetuated unfair labor practices in violation of Section 8(b)(4)(ii)(B) .

...Justice Jackson’s framework of presidential powers laid out in the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer case discusses three situations and the level of power the president possesses in accordance to said situations. The first of these regards when the President “acts pursuant to an express or implied authorization of Congress” at which point his power is at its highest. The second situation is when the President “acts in absence of either Congressional grant or denial of authority” in which case he must rely upon his own independent powers. However, there is a gray area in this scenario in which he and Congress may have “concurrent authority or in which its distribution is uncertain.” The third situation regards when the President “takes measures incompatible with the expressed or implied will of Congress…for...

...BCO1102 Information Systems for Business 2014 Semester 1 Prepared by Paul Darbyshire Prepared by Paul Darbyshire Welcome Welcome to BCO1102 Information Systems for Business for Semester 1, 2014. For the vast majority of you it will be a compulsory unit of study as it is part of the Business Core in all undergraduate Bachelor of Business degrees. The major focus of this unit is on how computer- based information systems can support decision making in organizations and businesses. Those decisions often need to be made by professionals who come from discipline areas you are studying such as accounting, management, information systems or marketing. One of the most important elements of an information system is people, so all of us need to know what role we can play and what role information and communication technologies (ICT) can play in supporting decisions. This unit will look at the theoretical side of information systems as well as personal productivity tools such as spread sheets and databases. In addition we will look at global trends in information systems and in particular the emerging use of Cloud Computing and Social Networking, which is sometimes called Web 2.0. The unit of study requires the textbook Introduction to Information Systems by Rainer, Prince and Cegielski 5th Edition.

...Teams Case Study BUS/210 Katurah Allen John Chandler There are a few different types of theories found in case studies, which are known as Maslow’s hierarchy theory, expectancy theory, goal-setting theory, management by objectives (MBO), equity theory, and job enrichment theory. After reviewing the five different theories I have review the two articles for a case study to determine the theories the businesses used. “Two Men and a Lot of Trunk” article; I believe the owner Mary Ellen Sheets was using the Maslow’s hierarchy theory. Mrs. Sheets was just trying to help her son’s out to begin with; then after they no longer wanted to do the moving business, she kept receiving inquires about local moves that made here buy a trunk for moving people. I see it as Mrs. Sheets kept this company going for her own psychological needs to be satisfied. It made here proud when she knew people were being treated with respect and getting what they pay for. While Mrs. Sheets began to run this company and providing a service to move people she saw great respect and provided her with psychological rewards. Mrs. Sheets saw a great need for moving locally. By providing a good respectful service that was helping people and in return satisfied her needs to feeling appreciated with respect, therefore this case study could also be the expectancy theory. Mrs. Sheets approach to creating high-performing teams within the company was with rewards and proper training. One of Mrs. Sheets statements...

...Case Study (Chapter 1, page 17) Question 1 What are the real problems that the customer is highlighting? Firstly, the problem that customer highlighting is automatic debiting the customer account by way of penalty. This action cause the customer has to rethink his errant financial way. The bank should having a notice or inform to their customers before debiting any penalty. This may cause many of customers that face the financial problem to fall into difficulty. Besides, the customer notices he cannot contact to employee over the time. The customers are confronted by the impersonal ever-changing, pre-recorded, faceless entity which the bank has become. The customers want to deal with a flesh and blood person but not the automated voice phone system. This impersonal conversation will make customer loss of confident about what the customer inquire. Moreover, customer will get charge for the advertising material sent by bank. It charges for $2.00 per page customer read. For the bank nominated contact, that will be billed at $5 per minute. Bank should be let the customer know early for the reading fees or ask for customer permission whether having interest about the advertising material. If not, bank should not send to them.

...period of time. Some of the tips on studying and preparing for a test may overlap with the cramming techniques below. Eat some food to give you energy to study but avoid consuming excess sugar which will make you hyper and will make it more difficult to study. An apple does a better job at keeping you focused and awake than caffeine. Find a well lit place with no distractions around to study but don't get too comfortable or you may fall asleep. Keep a positive attitude, it is easier to study when you are relaxed than when you are stressed out. Since your time is limited, you have to choose what you study. Don't attempt to learn everything, focus on things that will get you the most points on the exam. Focus on the main ideas and learn key formulas. Skip the details for now and only come back to them if you see that you have time after you have learned the key points. Write down the key ideas/formulas on a sheet of paper and keep on studying from that sheet, repetition is important. Highlight the important points in your notes, and text and focus on that. Read the chapter summaries (they usually do a good job at summarizing the important points). If there're no chapter summaries then skim through the text and write down key ideas. Study from past tests, review questions, homework & review sheets. Take at least one five minute break an hour so that you can gather your thoughts and let your brain relax. If time permits, try to get at least 3 hours...

...Case Study Module 2 Lindsey M. Charbonneau Ashford University Abstract Case studies have been used throughout research for preparing all types of people for numerous types of situations they may come in contact with in the professional world. As educators it is important to stay atop of the latest research so we can be prepared to engulf any situation with care, intelligence, and the optimum outcome for the student. The following case studies show possible outcomes for two separate cases dealing with Raoul, a hard of hearing bilingual sweet third grader, and Joe, a tutored in reading pressured by his community involved parents. Both students need a lot of attention from not only the school staff but also their influencing outside forces to help them succeed with the goals each educator has set for them during the current school year. Below are three possible solutions that are very different but hold the very same goal, doing everything within the educator’s power to assist the student in their success. Case Study One Introduction In Level A, Case 1 we have Raoul. Raoul is nine years old and in the third grade. He is a bilingual student that is completely fluent in English and Spanish. Raoul is well liked by both his peers and staff, especially when is translating for his Cuban born parents. Raoul’s challenge in the classroom is due to his being hard of hearing.

...Nursing 429V Dr. Rhonda Johnston January 7, 2016 Vark: One or all “Do you know how you learn?” This is the first sentence on a website that introduces the reader to a way of classifying ways of learning. According to this site, Vark-learn.com (2016), although we have known for centuries about different learning modes, the VARK questionnaire developed in 1987 by Dr. Neil Fleming from New Zealand, was the first to present a series of questions that classified individuals to learning modalities. This classifications came with help sheets for individuals to use in their own way or style of learning. Today this system is still used by high schools, colleges and business to help enhance learning and teaching experiences. These sheets are divided into four groups. Their classifications are: Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic strategies. The acronym VARK comes from the four divisions. Classification sheets, also referred as help sheets by the VARK website, discuss strategies that help enhance the taking in of information, strategies that make studying or learning more effective, and tips on how to perform well on examinations. But the truth is not as simple as to classifying individuals to just one learning modality. In fact about 35% of individuals use a four-part multimodal approach, and sometimes may switch to a single preferred mode that fits the situation (VARK personal, 2016). Sometimes by using all four modes, learning can become more time consuming. Being...
