Case Q: Whose Hospital? Background of the situation: In June of 1979, the medical staff at Brendan Hospital held a mass meeting at the hospital to discuss various allegations against CEO, Don Wherry. A petition was signed by half the medical staff and by half the employees of the hospital at the mass meeting.…
ASB Election Application 1. I am interested in running for Leadership for many reasons. I am approaching my senior year of high school and I regret not being involved as much in the school community. I don’t really have much planned so if I ended up being elected, I would avidly be involved in any activity I can in hopes to give back to a school I’ve been happy to call home for six years.…
In Texas, elections are a battle between two parties- the Democrats, and the Republicans. Independent parties exist, but do not have major impact during the elections. Over 90 percent of voters in Texas are made up of republicans or democrats which contributes to the lack of influence from Independent parties. For this reason, the process discussed focuses on these two parties.…
If board did not follow Smith’s advice, he needs to respect their vote power as much as he expects for his decisions to be respected in return. In my opinion Smith acted very unprofessionally by disappearing from the Chicago art community and not answering calls. 5. How are the roles of board chairman and an executive director different in an organization such as the MCA?…
The book gives a similar example, “A board of directors of the chambers of commerce has an annual…
Throughout history, the U.S. has been seen as unequal in government laws and social normalities against minorities and women. Prior to 1920 women were unable to vote and not until 1965 were African American’s given the right to vote. And if you were to ask why it took so long for women and minorities to be given the right to vote, you would receive answers on the lines of sexism and racism. However, the refusal of voting rights was based on the fear that women and minorities were wildcards, current voters had no idea how they were voting. This simulation demonstrated how teams with no voting rights felt having to fight for them and it also demonstrated just how much each vote really counts in an election.…
Concerned that voters would not have the proper judgement to make a selection of the next chief executive, in 1787, the founding fathers created the “Electoral College”. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. The electors (Political Elites) are the heads of the Electoral College. The qualifications of electors is supported by Article 2, Section 1. This article states that holding the office of trust shall be appointed by an elector.…
The Constitution is particularly vague on the issue of voting. Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution left the establishment of voting practice procedures and who is eligible to vote up to the individual states. A provision was made for Congress to alter the voting process if necessary (Justia, 2015). As an unintended result, suffrage was initially limited to white, male property holders. The Fifteenth Amendment addresses the rights of citizens to vote in two sections.…
Electoral College Process With the upcoming presidential election in November 2106, I believe that it is important to understand our government, and how the leader of our country will truly be selected, come election time. Most people think that their vote personally effects who wins the presidency, but what they do not realize, is that there is a system in place called the Electoral College. I am a firm believer in educated voting, and knowing how the system works plays hand in hand with being educated on the candidate that you are voting for. In my generation, it seems that most people get out to vote just to vote, without really doing their research, and I do not believe that this is what voting is all about.…
The Electoral College is one of the most commonly criticized and commonly misunderstood systems in electoral politics today. Criticism about the electoral college can be heard from both sides of the aisle, from both Republicans and Democrats. Some say it distorts the will of the people because it can turn a popular vote winner into an electoral college loser. While others say that it is one of the last remaining pillars of the federalist system that our nation was founded on. In Judith Best’s book, “Choice of the People?”…
Each of these areas functioned autonomously, giving rise to a freewheeling corporate culture where non-standardized processes were adapted on the fly, and problems were resolved in an ad hoc manner. This high degree of autonomy and flexible culture enabled Keda to achieve its “pursuit of perfection” through “endless innovation” in the global market. Indeed, innovation had been essential to the firm’s success in the market. In 1999, Keda had rolled out the first 3,200-ton pressing machine in China. In 2005, Keda had introduced three of the 10 most innovative new machinery products in the world.…
The principal of the United States Constitution was to establish the fundamental rights of all American citizens and provide direction on how the government should function. The Constitution also provides the structure for law and order. It describes the roles of the government's federal judiciary branch, legislative branch and executive branch. The judicial branch is made up of the Supreme, Circuit, the magistrate and municipal courts. The legislative branch is made up of the two houses of Congress, the Senate and the House of Representatives.…
Given the increased political power Republicans won in the last elections, from Washington to red-state legislatures, voters might expect the party to feel that the nation’s voting procedures are working quite well. Yet this is far from the case, as triumphant Republicans are using their enhanced clout to continue their campaign playing up the mythical threat that voter fraud abounds in the nation. The newest and loudest zealot in this cause is, of course, President Trump, with his scurrilous claim that millions of illegal ballots cost him a popular vote majority. His baseless claim only encourages the renewed efforts at voter suppression reported to be underway in a score of Republican-dominated statehouses intent on making it harder for…
Implementations Citic Pacific should acknowledge the need to change its internal controls, primarily the delegation of authorities among the executives. There should always be a check and balance in the performance of duties, and a separation of authorities between the maker and an approver to keep an efficient control. Furthermore, there must be a change with the way the firm pays bonuses. The management should consider revising its remuneration policy because the performance-based of giving incentives is prone to manipulation and does not comply with the goal of achieving long-term objectives. Recommendations…
Some boards need a chief executive who will grab the wheels and rides…
