The consequence for the lack of critical thinking in decision making has been revealed through recent corporate scandals such as Enron (Braun, 2004, p. 232). To improve these skills, business leaders believe that more focus be made on teaching critical think in business schools over anything else (Braun, 2004, p. 232). While many professionals agree with this, I believe, rather than waiting until college, these skills and tools can be developed at a young age by shifting from the more traditional passive teaching methods to a more active teaching style. Traditionally, passive teaching has been the most common approach used by professors. This method usually involves professors delivering lectures to students with little to no opportunity for student input through “discussion or experiential exercises” (Michel, Cater, & Varela, 2009, p. 400).
But the major isn’t nearly as important as the toolbox of skills you come out with and the experiences you have’”(Zernike). Students are increasingly focused on how their major will translate into a job. Zernike interviews multiple professors and advisors from schools all over the country and somewhat of a consensus is found. Taking ‘abstract’ courses and getting involved with different things other than having a set major will lead to more ‘self-discovery’. “I think people change a great deal between 18 and 22” – Dr. Neuhauser, president of St. Michael’s College.
74% would recommend a liberal arts education to a young person they know today, so they will be prepared for success in today’s global economy. In fact, 91% of employers want students who have experience in resolving and working with others, with different opinions, in college. The unemployment rate for Humanities and Arts majors was 9%, while the unemployment rate for Law and Public Policy was 9.2% in 2013. Regardless, the after effects of the recession make it difficult to find employment in any department and does not put liberal arts graduates at a

Nam Phan 10/15/2011 EWRT 211 The Alternative Paths in Life In the essay, “The Many Paths to Success With or Without a College Education,” Kati Mather discusses our society unfair stereotypes at other forms of education that is not acquired in a traditional academic institution as inferior. People are too quick to judge and stereotype those that did not receive their degrees in an academic institution. In reality, the people that received their degree in vocation school are as vital to the successes of our economy as those that acquired their degrees in an academic school. The economy needs people that are specialized in specific labors to function. According to the author, “education is important, but a college education is not the only path to success,” (Mather 20).
Rodrigo Cubedo WRT 101 December 4th, 2012 College: Is It Really Necessary? Go to college, get a degree, and find a well paying job. Everybody should be doing this, right? According to Charles Murray apparently not. Murray presented his book “Real Education: Four Simple Truths for Bringing America’s Schools Back to Reality.” (2008) Where he talks about his point of view on higher education; he doesn’t believe it is something everybody should be doing, since not everybody is prepared to attend college and struggle with all that is involved in the process of getting a B.A.
The other forty percent of our sales will come through new customers, therefore we must reach these new customer through trade shows and leverage market research reports. Inputting the new information into the new system is key to the future of the
For a company to retain talent it must offer more incentives for the employees than that of its competitors. Your company encourages the decisions and ideas of the employees but more programs could be put in place to help retain employees. Implementing a program that offers rewards for time and cost savings not only benefits the employee but also the company by projecting a positive image of employee worth to the company. Keeping the companies hiring practice on the national level is required for all employees that work in the retail stores but if there is a need for technology or manufacturing of a particular product I would recommend global labor. The ability to tap into the global labor market will make the company more competitive by being able to offer competitive prices on products due to lower overhead cost associated with the offset in the labor cost.
Short vs. long-term focus In the case of short or long term focus when it comes to employment, it is my opinion that it depends on what you are looking for. However, it is my opinion that for your particular company a long-term focus would be better of for you guys and will help you grow faster and have a solid and consistent mission throughout your regions. I believe that having a long-term focus and investing in developing your talent will result in having great managers that will pass on the culture of the company to their employees; in whichever store they happen to be placed. Since one of the concerns for both Emerson and Wood was the lost of the company core values as a result of expanding, I believe that having a long term approach to employment will assure that those who stay with the company pass on those values to the next generation of
Their perspective on how the underachieved educational system is, alongside my encounters with complex of schooling. In high school, we are given many standards every day that we must meet in order to be considered successful, but the reality is; these standards are fruitless in expectation for colleges and universities. In high school I did not get the English composition skills, to prepare me for my college courses. They are right about their belief that the professors in the universities are very inspired in some ways to give their standards to the students in depth knowledge to set higher standards, however, it is not good to know that some high school students still enter Americas elite schools through remedial process, because it might agitate the worldwide standards set by the school
