Fleming, Ph.d., Ph D Kevin J Fleming, 2016-07-02 How is it possible that both university graduates and unfilled job openings are both at record-breaking highs? Our world has changed. New and emerging occupations in every industry now require a combination of academic knowledge and technical ability. With rising education costs, mounting student debt, fierce competition for jobs, and the oversaturation of some academic majors in the workforce, we need to once again guide students towards personality-aligned careers and not just into college. Extensively researched, (Re)Defining the Goal deconstructs the prevalent one-size-fits-all education agenda. The author provides a fresh perspective, replicable strategies, and outlines six proven steps to help students secure a competitive advantage in the new economy. Gain a new paradigm and the right resources to help students avoid the pitfalls of unemployment, or underemployment, after graduation. |

Globalization, migration, demographic changes, low fertility rates, a scarce pool of qualified labor, and women entering the workforce in large scales have led to an increasingly heterogeneous workforce in the past twenty years. In response to those ongoing changes, organizations have started to create work environments which address the needs and respond to the opportunities of a diverse workforce. The implementation of diversity policies and practices and the creation of an organizational culture that values heterogeneity have been the focus of recent organizational initiatives. This special issue aims at shedding light on some of open research questions by including both theoretical and empirical contributions. |

| an associate's degree in business administration: Globalization and Social Responsibility Kiymet Tunca Caliyurt, David Crowther, 2008-12-11 Over the last decade the question of the relationship between organisations and society has been subject to much debate, often of a critical nature. The decade has seen protests concerning the actions of organisations, exposures of corporate exploitation and unfolding accounting scandals. At the same time ethical behaviour and a concern for the environment have been shown to have a positive correlation with corporate performance. The nature of corporate social responsibility is therefore a topical one for businesses and academics. There are however many different perspectives upon what is meant by corporate social responsibility and how this might be applied within organisations. This book explores some of these different perspectives based upon the experiences of different people in different parts of the world. There has been much written about globalisation – some of it positive and much of it negative. It is a subject which arouses definite opinions. Despite the fact that the word globalisation is part of the title of this book it is not our intention to contribute to this debate. Instead we use the word globalisation in its original sense to represent the ubiquity of the concern for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) which is the subject matter of this book. Specifically we are concerned with the social contract between an organisation and its stakeholders. It is apparent that any actions which an organisation undertakes will have an effect not just upon itself but also upon the external environment within which that organisation resides. In considering the effect of the organisation upon its external environment it must be recognised that this environment includes both the business environment in which the firm is operating, the local societal environment in which the organisation is located and the wider global environment. Effectively therefore there is a social contract between organizations and their stakeholders. Recognition of the rights of all stakeholders and the duty of a business to be accountable in this wider context therefore has been largely a relatively recent phenomenon. The economic view of accountability only to owners has only recently been subject to debate to any considerable extent. In the current environment there is a need to debate this issue and its implications. This book therefore recognises the international scope of the interest in corporate social responsibility both through the contributions made by the authors of the respective chapters, who come from various parts of the world, and also through the international importance of the perspectives offered by these contributors. In doing so the various authors demonstrate that corporations are a part of society just as much as each of us is as a individual. Furthermore they demonstrate that the issues and concerns are not local ones but are international is scope and concern us all. The contributions to this book provide a representation of the range of concern for this relationship and the range of topics which fall within the subject matter of CSR. Among the authors who have contributed to this book are representatives from every continent and from a wide range of disciplines. The topics which are considered in the various chapters are equally diverse. |
| an associate's degree in business administration: Making Your Major Decision Peterson's, 2013-09-30 Choosing a college major is one of the most important decisions students ever make, yet there is often confusion about picking the right discipline. Studies show that nearly two-thirds of all college freshman have not chosen a major, and nearly 60 percent of undergraduates change their major at least once resulting in lost time, money and productivity. To minimize the uncertainty in selecting the right major, Peterson's has partnered with industry leader, CPP the makers of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The MBTI was developed in the 1940s to make Carl Jung's theory of personality type understandable and useful in everyday life. This book will include access to a personality assessment to determine likes/dislikes and strengths/weaknesses to aid them in making sound decisions. The MBTI assessment, now priced at $9.95, coupled with the descriptions of more than 800 college majors, including course requirements, related majors, and related careers, will provide students an invaluable resource for making The Major Decision. |
| an associate's degree in business administration: Principles Ray Dalio, 2018-08-07 #1 New York Times Bestseller “Significant...The book is both instructive and surprisingly moving.” —The New York Times Ray Dalio, one of the world’s most successful investors and entrepreneurs, shares the unconventional principles that he’s developed, refined, and used over the past forty years to create unique results in both life and business—and which any person or organization can adopt to help achieve their goals. In 1975, Ray Dalio founded an investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York City. Forty years later, Bridgewater has made more money for its clients than any other hedge fund in history and grown into the fifth most important private company in the United States, according to Fortune magazine. Dalio himself has been named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along the way, Dalio discovered a set of unique principles that have led to Bridgewater’s exceptionally effective culture, which he describes as “an idea meritocracy that strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical transparency.” It is these principles, and not anything special about Dalio—who grew up an ordinary kid in a middle-class Long Island neighborhood—that he believes are the reason behind his success. In Principles, Dalio shares what he’s learned over the course of his remarkable career. He argues that life, management, economics, and investing can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The book’s hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of “radical truth” and “radical transparency,” include Dalio laying out the most effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges, and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating “baseball cards” for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses, and employing computerized decision-making systems to make believability-weighted decisions. While the book brims with novel ideas for organizations and institutions, Principles also offers a clear, straightforward approach to decision-making that Dalio believes anyone can apply, no matter what they’re seeking to achieve. Here, from a man who has been called both “the Steve Jobs of investing” and “the philosopher king of the financial universe” (CIO magazine), is a rare opportunity to gain proven advice unlike anything you’ll find in the conventional business press. |

| an associate's degree in business administration: The Nature of Organizational Leadership Stephen J. Zaccaro, Richard J. Klimoski, 2002-02-28 The quality of an organization's top leaders is a critical influence on its overall effectiveness and continuing adaptability. Yet, little current research examines leadership within the context of organizational structure, such as how leaders influence organizational performance in those key moments when an executive's action is critical to driving the organization forward. This book represents a significant contribution to the literature of leadership, combining a contextual approach to organizational leadership with an in-depth treatment of the cognitive, social, and affective dynamics underlying that leadership. The Nature of Organizational Leadership, using an interdisciplinary approach that draws from the work of scholars in both management and psychology, provides a much-need organizational perspective on the problems to confronted by top executive leaders and the requisite behaviors, attributes, and outcomes necessary to lead organizations effectively. |

| an associate's degree in business administration: Career as an Accountant Institute for Career Research, 2014-06 Accounting is one of the most in-demand careers today, with more new jobs opening up every day. The opportunities available to accountants, auditors and similar professionals in the field are expected to continue expanding as international business increases and more government regulations take effect. Accounting is rated among the top five careers by such publications as Forbes and CNN/Money, with new graduates earning an average of $55,000 in their first year on the job. Accountants work with businesses, governments and other organizations to analyze and manage their finances. Accountants use spreadsheets and other computer applications to record, communicate and interpret financial results. They track transactions, recommend cost-cutting measures, and ensure that taxes are paid promptly and correctly. Accountants also help individuals and families file their taxes and manage their personal finances. Opportunities for accountants can be found in cities of all sizes across the country. Some accountants are employed directly by businesses, government agencies, not-for-profits, colleges and similar organizations. Others work for public accounting firms that are retained by organizations to provide financial services. Accountants may also be self-employed, such as those who specialize in providing tax services for families. A four-year degree from an accredited college or university is typically the minimum requirement to land your first job as an accountant. A graduate degree can be helpful, particularly for management positions or highly technical financial analysis work. Many accountants obtain professional licenses, most notable the Certified Public Accountant (CPA). State licensing requirements vary, but CPAs generally must obtain additional college credit hours, have experience working in the field, and pass a rigorous examination. Employment experts predict that the number of accounting and auditing jobs will grow by over 15 percent within the coming decade, as economic expansion drives the need for financial expertise. Accountants and auditors are paid on average $65,000 a year, a significant increase from just $60,000 only a few years ago, and earnings are expected to continue to track upward. |

| an associate's degree in business administration: How To Become A Consultant, How To Be Highly Successful As A Consultant, And How To Earn Revenue As A Consultant Dr. Harrison Sachs, 2021-02-11 This essay sheds light on how to become a consultant, explicates how to be highly successful as a consultant, and elucidates how to earn revenue as a consultant. While becoming a consultant may seem be an eminently cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and daunting undertaking, it is viably possible to become a consultant. Much to the relief of prospective consultants, it is possible to become a consultant in a time span of less than half of a decade and the journey to become a consultant is not as lengthy as the journey to pursue certain other occupations, such as the occupations of a medical doctor or attorney. The pathway that a prospective consultant can follow to become a consultant is fraught with challenges that are not a cinch to surmount. It can be arduous to fulfill the duties of a consultant. Consultant skills are highly desirable skills to possess. As of February of 2021, only an infinitesimal fraction of one percent of the global population are employed as consultants. In the US, for instance, less than 2,175,500 are employed as consultants even though the U.S. population is comprised of over 328,000,000 people as of February of 2021. As of February of 2021, less than .663% of people in the US are employed as consultants. This means that out of 151 random people in the US, about only one person at most would be employed as a consultant as of February of 2021. As of February of 2021, it was estimated that there were more medical doctors and attorneys as an aggregate in the US than consultants in the US even though it takes far more years to fulfill the ample mandatory requirements to become a medical doctor or attorney than it takes to fulfill the mandatory requirements to become a consultant. As of February of 2021, there are no mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become a consultant. As of February of 2021, the economy is unequivocally in dire need of more consultants, especially since they are able to help companies to ameliorate their operational efficiencies. Having subpar operational efficiencies amplifies a company’s operating costs. Neglecting to optimize operational efficiencies can undermine a company’s profitability potential. Companies should aim to eliminate non-value-adding activities in their operational processes. Having needless waste in workflows can undermine a company’s profitability potential. “The job of a consultant is typically to look at what an organization does as a whole, then work to increase efficiency in most areas. Specifically, they strive to render a business more profitable, usually by helping the business owners to reduce costs and grow revenue streams. In order to achieve this objective, the consultant might recommend personnel changes, new systems, alternative practices or new procedures to be implemented”. Companies should not only aim to bolster their operational efficiencies, but should also strive to minimize their operational inefficiencies. Companies not only rely on consultants to help them to enhance their operational efficiencies, but to also help them to amplify their sales volume, revenue, and profits. Freelance consultants are not limited to furnishing their service offerings to a single client. “Most consultants are self-employed and work on a contractual basis”. Freelance consultants are able to work remotely, customize their own schedule, and furnish their service offerings to clients from around the world. There are a myriad of disparate types of consultants. Some of the ample disparate types of consultants encompass “business consultants, management consultants, marketing consultants, social media consultant, operations consultants, financial advisory consultants, information technology consultants, and human resource consultants”. Certain consultants specialize in one niche area, “such as retail sales. Consultants might then specialize further under that area of expertise, focusing on points such as inventory control, personnel, and reorganizing corporate structure. Consultants might also work with start-up companies to design the best entry into the marketplace, or alternatively may work with companies that are looking to downsize and sell their companies”. The competencies can vary from consultant to consultant. It would ultimately behoove a prospective consultant to explore the various consultant career paths. |

| an associate's degree in business administration: How To Become A Notary, How To Be Highly Successful As A Notary, And How To Earn Revenue As A Notary Dr. Harrison Sachs, 2021-02-21 This essay sheds light on how to become a notary, explicates how to be highly successful as a notary, and elucidates how to earn revenue as a notary. While becoming a notary may seem be an eminently cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and daunting undertaking, it is viably possible to become a notary. Much to the relief of prospective notaries, it is possible to become a notary in a time span of less than one year and the journey to become a notary is not as lengthy as the journey to pursue certain other occupations, such as the occupations of a medical doctor or attorney. The pathway that a prospective notary can follow to become a notary is fraught with challenges that are not a cinch to surmount. It can be arduous to fulfill the duties of a notary. Notary skills are highly desirable skills to possess. As of February of 2021, only an infinitesimal fraction of the global population work as notaries. In the U.S., for instance, less than 4,400,000 people work as notaries even though the U.S. population is comprised of over 329,500,000 people as of February of 2021. As of February of 2021, less than 1.335% of people in the U.S. work as notaries. This means that out of 75 random people in the U.S., about only one person at most would work as a notary as of February of 2021. As of February of 2021, it was estimated that there were more medical doctors and attorneys as an aggregate in the U.S. than notaries in the U.S. even though it takes far more years to fulfill the ample mandatory requirements to become a medical doctor or attorney than it takes to fulfill the mandatory requirements to become a notary. The mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become a notary can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become a notary can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The pathway to become a notary extends beyond the ambit of “meeting all your state’s qualifications, completing and submitting the notary application, and succumbing to paying the notary application filing fee”. Beyond the aforementioned requirements to become a notary, the other requirements to become a notary can encompass “taking a notary training course from an approved education vendor if deemed applicable, passing a notary examination if deemed applicable, complete the fingerprinting and background check if deemed applicable, and taking out a surety bond if deemed applicable. Once you have met all the requirements to receive your notary commission certificate, you will subsequently need to file your notary commission paperwork and also your surety bond with your notary regulating official” if deemed applicable. Once you have become a notary, you will need to purchase notary supplies to be able to perform notary services. As of February of 2021, in certain jurisdictions, it is viably possible to become a notary in less than three months. Notaries can become Notary Signing Agents in order to further broaden their career opportunities. “Notary Signing Agents facilitate loan closings for the mortgage finance industry. A Notary Signing Agent is a notary who is specially trained to handle and notarize loan documents. For lenders, Notary Signing Agents are the critical final link to complete the loan”. Notary Signing Agents can assist lenders and borrowers in completing the mortgage loan closing process. “A Notary Signing Agent is hired as an independent contractor to ensure that real estate loan documents are executed by the borrower, notarized and returned for processing on time. Completing this critical part of the loan process enables the loan to be funded”. Even though all Notary Signing Agents “are notaries, not all notaries are Notary Signing Agents”. Certain notaries are reticent about becoming Notary Signing Agents. This is because additional requirements need to be fulfilled for a notary to become a Notary Signing Agent post him becoming a notary. “According to the National Notary Association, signing agents must be a Notary Public, certified and background screened”. The requirements that need to be fulfilled for a notary to become a Notary Signing Agent can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. |

Within the context of global, national and local changes since the fall of Ferdinand Marcos in 1986, academic and administrative leaders at two prestigious women's colleges candidly discuss how their respective institutions adapted to their environments and how the colleges will fare in the future. Preferences for large, coeducational institutions; the emergence of less expensive tertiary institutions; and the downward spiral of a weak national economy combined to destabilized the enrollment base of these colleges. Factors unique to the Philippines including an increasing number of female overseas contract workers; struggles with national language preferences; and the growth of feminism also affected the colleges. In response, the colleges expanded their curricula, chose high-profile presidents, focused on faculty development, and acquired technology. Decision-markers at these colleges will have to continue in their efforts at solidifying their positions in the Philippine higher education system. The book that women's colleges worldwide must articulate their unique purposes and collaborate with other institutions to strengthen their organizations. |

| an associate's degree in business administration: How To Become A Life Coach, How To Be Highly Successful As A Life Coach, And How To Earn Revenue As A Life Coach Dr. Harrison Sachs, 2019-12-15 This essay sheds light on how to become a life coach, explicates how to be highly successful as a life coach, and elucidates how to earn revenue as a life coach. While becoming a life coach may seem be an eminently cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and daunting undertaking, it is viably possible to become a life coach. Much to the relief of prospective life coaches, it is possible to become a life coach in a time span of less than half of a decade and the journey to become a life coach is not as lengthy as the journey to pursue certain other occupations, such as the occupations of a medical doctor or attorney. The pathway that a prospective life coach can follow to become a life coach is fraught with challenges that are not a cinch to surmount. It can be arduous to fulfill the duties of a life coach. Life coach skills are highly desirable skills to possess. As of December of 2019, only an infinitesimal fraction of one percent of the global population are employed as life coaches. In the US, for instance, less than 43,000 work as life coaches even though the US population is comprised of over 328,000,000 people as of December of 2019. As of December of 2019, less than .0013% of people in the US work as life coaches. This means that out of 7,628 random people in the US, about only one person at most works as a life coach as of December of 2019. As of December of 2019, it was estimated that there were more medical doctors and attorneys in the US than life coaches even though it takes far more years to fulfill the ample mandatory requirements to become a medical doctor or attorney than it takes to fulfill the mandatory requirements to become a life coach. As of December of 2019, there are no mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become a life coach. As of December of 2019, the economy is unequivocally in dire need of more life coaches, especially since there are a multitude of ways in which most people can ameliorate their lives. Life coaches can help their clients to rectify issues that are transpiring in their lives. Life coaches can help their clients to remedy rectifiable career issues, rectifiable interpersonal relationship issues, rectifiable academic issues, and rectifiable wellness issues. A person can ameliorate his quality of life if it is devoid of career issues, interpersonal relationship issues, academic issues, and wellness issues. Life coaches can provide guidance on the measures to implement so that their clients can resolve rectifiable issues in their lives. Life coaches can also provide guidance on the disparate measures to implement that are conducive to attaining career success so that their clients are all the more aptly primed to have lucrative careers. Life coaches can also provide guidance on the disparate measures to implement that are conducive to bolstering interpersonal relationships so that the interpersonal relationships of their clients are inapt to become tenuous interpersonal relationships shortly after being formed. Life coaches can also provide guidance on the disparate measures to implement that are conducive to significantly boosting a person’s well-being so that their clients are all the more apt to experience jubilance. When people are able to experience unalloyed euphoria, then they become less prone to profusely brooding over unresolved issues that they are encountering in their lives. People should strive to metaphorically thrust their lives into an upward trajectory. Life coaches can also help their clients to reach their short-term objectives and attain their overarching goals. People should aim to self-improve themselves and actualize their latent potential. People should aim to become highly knowledgeable, highly competent, and highly adept industry experts in their niche field of expertise. Life coaches can help their clients to achieve their higher aspirations. It is less cumbersome for a person to achieve his higher aspirations in his lifetime if he has attained profound career success to the extent to which it has culminated in him earning enough fiat currency amid his working years to be able to afford to attempt to achieve his higher aspirations which can be eminently expensive to be pursuant of. Life coaches can help their clients to make inroads towards improving multiple facets of their lives. A person’s life does not need to be characterized by stagnation since a person is at liberty to attempt to improve multiple aspects of life if he chooses to do so. |
