...Three Barriers That Influence Thinking The first barrier that influences my critical thinking process that I would choose to overcome is self-deception. I find that many times, I trick myself into thinking that something is not right or I am doing something wrong before I have the chance to complete the task itself or get to the point that is needed to decide if I was right. I need to put more trust in my initial thought process and let the outcome of the situation come as it may. I believe that if I were to do this, I would most likely be surprised that the outcomes would in fact be positive. The second barrier to my thinking that I influences my thinking process is my pride. I find that there have been several times, that I have let pride get in the way of my thoughts and it has not benefitted me. Pride can be a wonderful or a hurtful thing and depending on the situation, I need to put it aside and listen to another side of an argument. Doing so, I feel that it would make me a better person as well as a better critical thinker in the long run. The last barrier that influences my thinking is having an over reliance of feelings. This issue, although it has gotten better as I have gotten older, is still something that I would like to work on. Relying on feelings, takes the thinking process out of the equation. No longer are you making decisions based on facts or evidence, but you’re making a decision based on how you feel at the time. The way to correct this I feel I to...

...are transmitted by organizations. Communication in organization is the process of sending and receiving all the messages from the organization through both formal and informal ways (Widhiastuti, 2012:185). Communication plays an important role in relationships (Sultana et al, 2012:2). It will become a severely problem between employers and employees when barriers occur in the communication in organizations (ibid). Unclear communication can cause not only error in work and missing the task deadline, but also many other issues such as poor job performance. In order to ensure effectiveness of communication, identifying the barriers among communication is important (ibid). The relationship between an organization and its stakeholders can be strengthened by effective communication (Sultana et al, 2012:3). The communication process is comprised of several elements such as sender, encoding and decoding messages, transmitting and receiving message by medium, noise and feedback (Lunenburg, 2010:10). According to Lunenburg (2010:4-6), communication barriers can be divided into four parts. Firstly, process barriers are one of the barriers (Lunenburg, 2010:4). To establish good...

...Barriers to Effective Communication Kevin Borem CJA/304 November 2, 2011 Fred Staedel Barriers to Effective Communication Communication is a way of life for sociable organisms on earth. There are many forms of communication and several are used without saying a word or making a sound. With the types of communication in the world, communicating effectively may seem an unlikely idea. Effective communication between two individuals or more is dependable on the way the message from the sender has encoded the information. Effective communication insists that information sent should be received and retransmitted back to the sender without any loss in translation. To understand communication, it must first be broken down so that each element is understood (Wallace & Roberson, 2009). Communication has three elements that when assembled form what individuals know as communication. The first step in the process of communication is that understanding that communication is a process, not an isolated event. Within the process the idea of transmitting occurs. The idea that wants to be transmitted is formed with the desire to be sent to other individuals. To send the idea one must send the idea through a medium. Sending an idea through a medium means that, the idea can be sent three different ways. The three ways that the idea can be sent are orally, written, or by other actions (Wallace & Roberson, 2009). Once the idea has been sent through one of the three mediums, the message...

...TYPES OF EXPORTING SMEs Until mid-1990s, the reviewed companies in export marketing and per- formance studies were often divided into exporting and non-exporting, or to highly vs. limitedly exporting companies. The past 10 years witnessed an increasing interest toward firms which do not try first to grow and get strong market positions in their home countries and after that start foreign op- erations but rather are involved in foreign operations in their first years of operations or even straightaway start their foreign sales. These firms have been labeled quite differently in various studies: born globals (Knight & Cavusgil, 1996; Madsen & Servais, 1997; Aspelund & Moen, 2001), inter- national new ventures (INVs) (Oviatt & McDougall, 1994, 1995, 1997), global start-ups (Oviatt & McDougall, 1994), or high-technology start-ups (Jolly, Alahuhta, & Jeanet, 1992). More recently, the term born-again global firm has also been proposed, to describe long-established firms that used to focus on their domestic markets, but suddenly opt for rapid internation- alization (see e.g., Bell, McNaughton, & Young, 2001). The main driving forces for the existence of these new types of companies are (see Knight & Cavusgil, 1996; Madsen & Servais, 1997; Rialp, Rialp, & Knight, 2005): (1) the increasing role of niche markets, (2) the advances in process technology, (3) the advances in communication technology, (4) the inherent advances of small companies,...

...Barriers to participation for 3 target groups and all the stages of the sports participation pyramid I am going to explain the barriers to participation from 3 different target groups at each stage of the sport development pyramid. My 3 target groups are Over 50s, Women and Young people. Over 50s is a target group because there is more over 50s playing sport now than ever before, this is because people are living longer and wish to keep fit and active. Young people is a target group because if people can get young kids active and give them a chance to do sport at a young age then it is more likely that they will carry on with sport and go up through the sports participation pyramid. Women is a target group because although traditionally women participate less in sport, the number of women in sport has gone up in the past few years. From 2005 to 2008 the overall women participating in sport went up from 2.57 Million to 2.81 Million (12.3% increase). Also more women are playing male dominated sport like Rugby and Football. Target group 1 – Over 50s At the foundation stage for Over 50s there is not any facility’s that will teach the basic skills for a sport. For most sports such as Crown green Bowling participants will go straight into the participation stage. In the participation stage for Over 50s a barrier would be cost of travel. If a person cannot drive then the cost of the buss maybe too much and if it is too far to walk the participant may have to stop playing...

...bbBarriers to Effective Communication “Barriers are influencing factors which impede or breakdown the continuous communications loop. They block, distort, or alter the information. By identifying the barriers and applying countermeasures, team members can effectively communicate.” (Wallace and Roberson, 2009) Chapter four speaks of four obstacles that can prevent effective communication. Emotional barriers, physical barriers, semantic barriers, and ineffective listening all prevent effective communication on both the giving end and the receiving end. Emotional barriers are not limited to the sender; it can also be present in the receiver. For an officer who has low self-esteem, they will often look for acceptance by adding a question to the end of their statement. They want acceptance, and are trying to stay clear of rejection. “An officer with low self-esteem may not be forthcoming with opinions about the cause of an accident or who committed a crime.” (Wallace and Roberson, 2009) Physical barriers have to deal with the environment in which you are communicating in. According to the text, the barriers include, but are not limited to the chain of command that the officer has to follow and equipment malfunctioning and the environment itself. A sentence can be interpreted many different ways; this can be defined as a semantic problem. When writing a report, your sentences must be clear and leave no room for other interpenetrations. The text gives this example, “He is a real...

...THE MARKETING PROCESS Introduction This document presents a response to the questions regarding the three potential markets that an orthopedic group could enter with its service of pediatric sports medicine The three markets that the orthopedic group could ender that will allow it to earn large profits is the education market, children social networking market such as the YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association), and minor sporting teams. This paper also describes the barriers to enter and exit the internal medicine market for a physician wanting to establish a solo practice, a company offering a health club facility in the same building where employees work, and hospital wanting to develop a coronary bypass program. Lastly this paper will answer the hypothetical question on three ways to make services unique to the population of baby boomers in San Antonio, Texas. Three Potential Markets for a Pediatric Sports Medicine Program to Enter Three markets that the orthopedic group could enter with their service of pediatric sports medicine would be the Education Market (Elementary, Middle, and High School), the Children Social Networking Market such as the YMCA, and Minor League Sport Teams. According to Katherine Lee from about.com “kids between 5 and 14 years of age account for as much as 40% of all sports-related injuries”(Lee, 2003). With that fact being known, the orthopedic group could hire physicians to work with local schools to teach kids how to prevent sport related...

...Omar Awad Merdah Transmission Network Integration, Mobily, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Muhammad Asad Sadi College of Industrial Management King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals Dhahran, Saudi Arabia [Abstract] Technology transfer brings scientific advances to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It enables them to be innovative and efficient. The objective of this study is to investigate empirically the key barriers that SMEs face when transferring technology in Saudi Arabia. Both descriptive and hypothesis testing have been used for data analysis. This study shows that SMEs in Saudi Arabia face lack of workforce skills, management capabilities, and effective legal and regulatory procedures. More than 56% predicted that the accession to WTO will have a positive impact on their businesses. Furthermore, 41% found licensing is the most preferred type of partnership agreement by SMEs to transfer technology. The study also found that most Saudi SMEs do not know fully the importance of franchising. [Keywords] technology transfer; small-medium enterprises; key barriers Introduction Technology transfer involves the acquisition and absorption of technology in order to introduce innovativeness and efficiency to gain competitive advantages. There are several channels through which technologies may be transferred, such as foreign direct investments (FDI), merger, acquisition, licensing, franchising and joint venture agreements. This includes hard and soft technologies associated...

...Barriers of Effective Communication Lynne Eubanks CJA 363 March 5, 2012 Clark Nissen Barriers of Effective Communication Communication is defined by Merriam Webster as “a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior.” A barrier is defined by Merriam Webster as “something material or immaterial that blocks or impedes.” Barriers are obstacles that can prevent communication from being effective. According to Written and Interpersonal Communication, communication is a process involving several steps among two or more persons, for the primary purpose of exchanging information. The process of communication has five basic steps: first a person needs to transmit an idea, next the idea must be sent, the idea must be received, the idea must be understood, and last the receiver should give feedback to the sender. These components make up the communication process. It is a vital system in the criminal justice field in order for the system to operate correctly. Hearing and listening are often confused as being the same thing. It is simply not true. Anyone who is not deaf can hear, we are programmed to perceive sound by our ears. Listening is something that a person consciously chooses to do. Listening is a vital part of the communication process, for it is by listening that one can receive the needed information. Channels of information refer to the methods or avenues that by which...
