PUE wants me to reach a successful agreement so that there are not any delays or stumbling blocks to the opening of the amusement park. However, while our interests are closely aligned, it would be erroneous to assume that our interests are identical. PUE is highly interested in receiving a tax rate below 1.5% and in minimizing the amounts of its voluntary payments to the towns. However, PUE has authorized me to enter into an agreement with a 1.5% tax rate and to make certain voluntary payments based upon the taxing amount. This means that I might be pressure to give the towns more than they are actually going to demand in order to reach an agreement for the company. I would still be seen as a successful negotiator, as long as I was able to help negotiate an agreement that might block development of the park, but PUE…...

It is also going to be crucial that the superintendent push some discussion with the new board member regarding differences of opinion and how they should be handled -- honestly and quickly. There will be dozens of conflicts over issues, and how a board handles them between the personalities can make for a successful board or not. Personal attacks and leaking comments to the media won't help. The more honest and open discussion the two can have prior to these events, the more comfortable and reassured the new board member will feel that questions and disagreements are welcomed. ut then, those words must be followed up with action.

The superintendent should assure the new member that he will present whatever proposals he plans on bringing forth over the term, well ahead of time for the board to peruse and consider.

And he should prove it by updating the new member on current…...

Introduction
Negotiation, understanding of the other member’s view and role are important ingredients to embrace, if the relationship between the CEO and the board is to succeed (Murden, 2012). It must be noted that both the Chief Executive Officer and the board are charged with separate and distinct roles. Nevertheless, they must work in liaison so as to achieve the goals of the organization. Clarification of roles is important in ensuring that the CEO and the board work in tandem. The board is intended to govern, to oversee managerial trends and opportunism. The board is focused on ensuring that the CEO works in the best interest of the members (Murden, 2012. The CEO, must serve the board, among other stakeholders, effectively. The board is charged with choosing the CEO and helping them to choose their management team (Murden, 2012). The board is, ideally, the employer of the CEO. The CEO is…...

This inexperience and youthfulness, according to these researchers and theorists, led to an overall drop in stock prices for the firms affected by this law as investors became wary about the direction of the firm (Ahern & Dittmar, 2012). This research was specifically concerned with the perception of firm performance on the part of investors, however, and not with actual measures of firm performance from within the companies themselves, which means it does not actually provide useful information regarding the direct impact of board diversity on performance, though it does suggest a potential problem in maintaining confidence (Ahern & Dittmar, 2012).
More performance-oriented research conducted in the United States during the 1990s, however, found that firm diversity does appear to have a direct correlation with actual firm performance, at least when measured on a strictly financial basis (Erhardt et al., 2003). This research performed a strictly quantitative analysis on over…...

Board of Education
An Examination of Several Issues Facing a Typical American School Board Today

According to Shannon (1994), school board members today are increasingly recognizing that genuine education reform is only possible when it is completely fashioned in the local community and only when there is a firm commitment to support and maintain it locally. "The school board," he says, "is the most credible agent of change in the community it serves. Elected directly by the people in the community (less than 3% are appointed by other locally elected officials), the school board has the political support to lead educational change in the best tradition of Jeffersonian democracy" (p. 387). To accomplish change effectively, though, a school board's consistent message to the entire school system must be that systemic reform is its main goal rather than just a passing fad (Kirst, 1994). Local school boards play a major role in coordinating…...

In contrast, within the firm, the entrepreneur directs production and coordinates without intervention of a price mechanism; but, if production is regulated by price movements, production could be carried on without any organization at all, well might we ask, why is there any organization?" (Coase, 1937, p. 387) In simpler words if markets are so efficient why do firms exist? Coase explains, "the operation of a market costs something [such as the costs of negotiating and concluding a separate contract for each exchange transaction] and by forming an organization and allowing some authority (an "entrepreneur") to direct the resources, certain marketing costs are saved" (Coase, 1937, p. 391). Thus, firms actually present greater efficiency over markets by decreasing such costs.
That being said, if firms are so efficient, why are markets needed? (Coase, 1937). As per Coase, as the firm grows (when the entrepreneur processes additional transactions), decreasing returns to…...

Board of Education in school districts is first set by state law and then by local regulations, with various customs and practices developing over time and becoming part of the role and responsibilities taken by these boards. In New York State, that role includes the governance of local school districts in different municipalities and educational districts (which may cross municipal boundaries in many cases). Among the tasks undertaken by school boars are personnel decisions and policies, the management of the school system including budgetary considerations, decisions regarding educational theory and practice to some degree, and the protection of students on school grounds and advocacy for fulfilling the needs of students and meeting the expectations of parents. Such broad responsibilities may be interpreted differently in different districts.
The school district in New York City is the largest and most complex in the state, facing the need to balance the competing interests…...

One other new thing brought to the attention of companies by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is the fact that, under this law, every public company is supposed to prove strong internal systems designed to catch an employee intending to commit fraud or flag accounting errors before a company has the opportunity to make its profits official. An addendum to this rule is the obligation of a company knowing about problems with its control systems to disclose what it has uncovered. This obligation generated what an author called the "current flood of mea culpas."

As mentioned above, many companies have faced serious difficulties during the last few years. Companies conducting their activity in Silicon Valley, for instance, such as Versant, Portal Software and Sipex, have acknowledged that they have encountered problems such as not having experienced accounting staff, lacking checks and balances in the case of employees handling corporate cash and the inability…...

oles of Directors and Duties of an Audit Committee
The Board of Directors is an organization's or company's governing body that is mandated with the task of ratifying all major decisions. Generally, the Board of Directors handles all issues of major strategic importance to an organization or company. This implies that the Board of Directors needs to be involved, engaged, and supportive in all issues of strategic importance, especially with regards to governance. However, the board comprises of directors who can play a number of several important roles as board members. In contrast, audit committees play a significant role in improving audit quality since these bodies play a crucial role in oversight and monitoring management. This paper examines the important performance-centered roles that directors may play within a board and the significant duties of an audit committee with regards to organizational governance.

Two different approaches which could be used to examine the possibilities and alternatives include: the qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative research is looking at other studies that were conducted. The basic idea is to identify the key trends and the impact it is having. In the case of Luke & Associates, the information will show the effects of rising costs on treatment options and the services that are provides. This helps everyone to identify key weaknesses and apply them to specific teams / organizations. (Blaxter, 2010)

Quantitative research is when a sample is collected of a various employees, administrators, patients and staff members. The conclusions will be correlated with the primary trends from previous studies using comparative analysis. This is when all facts are verified with the sample to improve accuracy. Anything that does not correlate is disregarded as an anomaly.

In the case of costs and services, these techniques can identify…...

In setting this plan for implementation and maintenance the ultimate goal for the district within the next five years is the creation of a student-to-computer ratio of 1-1 in grades 3-12 and 3-1 for grades K-2 in accordance with developmental studies for the utilization of technology in lesson and course plans for each respective grade. Computers will be updated on an annual basis, with replacement being taken into consideration every four years. In order to maintain cost-effectiveness, leasing programs and low-cost computer programs will allow students and teachers the capacity to access more applications and content which is relevant to consumers but nearly unaffordable in many educational systems. Low-cost computer programs such as the One Laptop per Child Foundation have been developed in order to aggressively place computers in the hands of hundreds of millions of children around the world, the United States included, in order to aid students…...

NONPOFIT BOAD GOVENANCENonprofit Board Governance and Organizational SuccessBoard governance in nonprofit settings could be conceptualized in terms of the provision of strategic direction as well as leadership to a nonprofit entity. More specifically, Laughlin and Andringa (2007) are categorical that board governance in this case has got to do with the combination of systems, guidelines, and processes used to make decisions, hold decision makers accountable, and take action (74). From the onset, it would be prudent to note that the relevance of effective board governance cannot be overstated when it comes to organizational success in the nonprofit realm. This is more so the case when it comes to meeting the mission of the organization, sufficiently addressing the specific client needs, and sharing outcomes with funders.Meeting the mission of the organizationAccording to Cornforth and Brown (2013), ensuring that a nonprofit entity pursues and meets its mission goals happens to be one…...
