associate's degree in business management: (Re)Defining the Goal Kevin J. 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. |

associate's degree in business management: Ask a Manager Alison Green, 2018-05-01 From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together |

associate's degree in business management: Managing Diversity in Organizations Barbara Beham, Caroline Straub, Joachim Schwalbach, 2013-07-10 Diversity management has recently attracted a lot of attention in both academia and practice. 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. |
associate's degree in business management: 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. |

associate's degree in business management: 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. |

They say you shouldn't ask your mom whether your business is a good idea, because she loves you and will lie to you. This is technically true, but it misses the point.

As a matter of fact, it's not their responsibility to tell you the truth. It's your responsibility to find it and it's worth doing right . Talking to customers is one of the foundational skills of both Customer Development and Lean Startup. We all know we're supposed to do it, but nobody seems willing to admit that it's easy to screw up and hard to do right. This book is going to show you how customer conversations go wrong and how you can do better. |
associate's degree in business management: Multiculturalism in the Workplace Theresa De Jesus Paris Ph D, Theresa Paris, 2012-06-09 With the ever increasing global economic interaction that often involves the workplace, it is imperative that we deepen our understanding of the dynamics of communication among different cultures. Through clear and precise examples, Dr. Theresa Paris' book succinctly exemplifies the basic broad differences of cultures and the importance of understanding cultural interaction in the workplace, based on work developed by Dr. Geert Hofstede, a pioneer and international leading scientist in the field of International Communication. These basic principles are applicable to most cultures. This book is a must for managers and students, and offers general information to all who wish to expand their knowledge of people to people interaction. Hector Robertin Ph.D. Multiculturalism in the Workplace engages everyone from the expert to the lay reader in principles validated through academic research. Through Barb's story, the reader is invited to explore the high level of misunderstanding among cultures and seek solutions for collaborative team development. Dr. Paris has simplified the understanding of Hofstede's research on cultural measurements in business by connecting them to different cultural traits, such as individualism and collectivism. Even the newest person to the study of multiculturalism will acquire excellent tools for interpreting actions and behaviors within his/her own environment. Sharon Seeberger, B.A. |

associate's degree in business management: 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. |
