On a multitude of other resolutions regarding homosexual clergy and the blessing of same-sex relationships, the Assembly voted to defer the questions to the next convention,10 maintaining a status quo that prohibits ordained ministry by actively homosexual persons11 and the blessing of same-sex relationships.12 At the upcoming 2009 Churchwide Assembly, to be held in Minneapolis, the delegates will vote on a long-awaited Social Statement on Human Sexuality.13 Both liberals and conservatives expect significant debate, and the vote could go either way.14 If conservatives lose the votes, it is very likely that some congregations will choose to leave the ELCA, either for a smaller, more orthodox Lutheran denomination, a new association with other like-minded congregations, or total nonasso...
An extensive literature exists that determines accounting journal rankings and top research producers both individually and by program. While this research stream provides valuable insights to the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB) accredited programs and to programs working to achieve such accreditation, it frequently is based on quality perceptions or considers top-rated programs only.

The results of this study suggest that lists based on the "top" journals may be unrealistic for many institutions. The information provided in this manuscript should assist programs, program leaders, and faculty members address AACSB accreditation issues, pro...

Inter-organizational teams are an increasingly common organizational form for responding to crisis situations. The effectiveness of these forms is dependent on the composition and experience of the team, their interpretation of the situation at hand, and their ability to formulate a timely response. However, competing demands from the team member's organizational affiliation and the specific needs of the crisis both influence response decision-making priorities and choices. Despite the timely importance of effective strategic decision making for crisis response, this area of research remains underexplored in the management literature. To examine how some of the extant literature on strategic decision making may improve crisis response effectiveness, this study examines the behavior of g...
An independent group raising money in the name of Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has close ties to operatives with a history of enriching themselves by drawing money from conservative donors that goes largely to the fundraisers and not the campaigns. A collection of political professionals in a downtown Washington suite has perfected the art of aligning itself with Washington outsiders with poorly run campaigns and raising large amounts, which are then paid primarily to direct-mail and consulting firms they control. The donors, most commonly retirees, are often unaware of exactly [Photograph by Associated Press]; to whom they are giving.
