Organizational context/culture of the DOB
NWOSU’s DOB culture emphasizes on ethics. The faculty wants to provide the students with the necessary information to succeed in their future endeavors whether it is furthering their education, entering the business field, or just personal obstacles. Ethics is stressed upon in a majority of the classes taught within the DOB. When the topic is talked about so repetitively, it is enforced as something important.

...g slides was removed all together from DOB. Students do not get a complete grasp of a subject from just reading it. The teaching style has to be altered to become more interactive.
How can the DOB improve its overall performance
DOB can improve their overall performance by incorporating different teaching strategies within the classrooms. There have been too many classes where the instructor is reading slides that they have been made attainable through Blackboard. If I can go print the slides off myself and read them, then why should I sit there and listen. I could have not shown up to class once and know exactly what was going to be said because I have the power points. In those classroom situations, I am bored and all I think about is the fact that I’m paying to literally have someone read to me. I think if this was changed a lot of classes would be more enjoyable.
In this life it is essential to base your work around your beliefs and to feel passionate about what you do. Then spreading your passion for your work onto others is how you grow as an individual and as a company. Which is what I felt after reading the #1 core value.
The Johnson & Johnson Corporation have withstood various problems that would have crippled other firms which can only be accounted with the cohesiveness of the corporation members and the internal structure of the corporation. Despite the corporation’s problems over the years their statement of values is an integral part of their corporation culture and how the firm continues to conduct business. “For us, the credo is our expression of managing the multiple bottom lines of products, people, planet and profits” Larsen (as cited by Hartman et al., 2014, p. 165).

An organization’s mission, vision, and philosophy determine the goals the company seeks to achieve and describes the structures used to reach objectives. The mission statement speaks to the relationship the organization has with the community by linking its actions to the people it serves. The vision statement gives details of the organization’s purpose and values to employees and customers. The philosophy defines principles and overall beliefs that guide the organization in reaching its goals (Current Nursing, n.d.). For this paper, I will describe the mission and vision statements of my organization, discuss how my role supports the mission, discuss pros and cons of the nursing department’s structure, and give examples of how nursing could

Shared Value is one of the most important part of 7-S Model as it is also called as “superordinate goals” which includes the goals and core values of the superiors/seniors for the betterment of the organization in terms of the culture and ethics within the organization.
Firstly, I will begin by identifying my core values. These values can be put into two separate groups. Firstly, there are instrumental values: courageousness, intellectualism, and helpfulness. When considering the myriad of ideals, many others were eliminated
The first portion of this human resources plan was to redefine the standards of leadership within J&J. This was accomplished by creating a new credo set of company values with over 60 specific behaviors that will dictate how well the company will perform. This new set of credo values serves as the foundation for the new HR plan to build on. There are six essential core credo values that were defined within the new plan, one of which is to behave with honesty and integrity. Integrity is the most important core value within the leadership that is important to employees according to the survey mentioned in lecture...
One of the first steps in developing an organization is to develop the vision, mission and philosophy of the organization. Vision statements are used to define the goals of an organization. The mission statement of an organization is a brief statement that explains the purpose that an organization exists. The organizational philosophy outlines the set of values and beliefs that controls the operations of an organization (Marquis, 2011). UMC’s vision is “to be nationally recognized for excellence in patient care, medical education, and biomedical research.” Their mission statement is “to serve through healing, education, and discovery.” The philosophy of UMC is “to value integrity, excellence, compassion, innovation, collaboration and dedication.” (www.mc.uky.edu)

Values remind me of ethics and morals, necessary in any walk of life and imperative in the work place. These concepts are guidelines in which employees need to follow to be successful. “Values represent basic convictions that a specific mode of conduct or end-state of existence is personally or socially preferable to an opposite or converse mode of conduct or end-state of existence.” (Robbins, 136) Integrity, courage, service, wisdom, respect and goal setting are a few of the values that are most crucial to me and what I hope to achieve within any work place setting. Values should be lived every day in the work place and should exemplify the
I am ready to begin an educational experience at Olin Business School that will provide me with the business knowledge I lack at this point in my career in order to shape my future business career and succeed in the financial field.

I am very excited to be able to challenge myself by setting my professional goals very high knowing that an MBA from Olin will undoubtedly help me to reach my short-term and long-term goals and support me to prolong my passion throughout my career.
John W. Gardner said, “Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants.” Education today is very ineffective. It is in an in between phase of the ways of old and a time of complete reform. The main issue is that people often lose sight of why the education system should even be reformed. It shouldn’t be reformed because “that’s what everyone else is doing.” It needs to be reformed to bridge the gap for the students who have a different learning style. It should be reformed to expand knowledge for students. Education reform can have good and bad effects. Because the education system is very complex, educators are being faced with changes and they must decide what is best for students.
