Melcrum's 2006 report The Pulse indicated that restructuring of communication departments was a common occurrence. What typically happens is that an organization decides they want and need to communicate more because communication solves all problems until it doesn't. For the past decade or so, MassMutual's corporate communication group was traditionally PR-focused, advertising-strong, and with some internal communication that was entrenched in the past and somewhat removed from the business areas. Then the world starting changing -- beginning with a new, more strategically focused CEO. With this change came the need to be more strategic. At a time when the company was establishing a new long-term business strategy under a new CEO and leadership team, employee communication that fully i...

This paper explores the major factors influencing multinational companies' (MNCs) propensity to change the level of resource commitments during financial crises in emerging markets. Favorable changes in the host government policies, market demand, firm strategy, and infrastructural conditions are hypothesized to influence the MNCs' decision to increase resource commitments during a crisis. The hypotheses are tested with data collected in a survey of 82 MNCs during the recent Argentine financial crisis (late 2002). While all the above variables are considered by the respondents as generally important reasons for increasing resource commitments during a crisis, only favorable changes in government policies significantly influence MNCs' decisions to change the level of resource commitments...

Additional preliminary observations include the following: * The civilian national security system does not effectively train or cultivate leadership in a sustained and systematic manner. * Leadership is a critical factor in the performance of the national security system, but it is not the only one, and it is not necessarily the dominant one either. * The organizational cultures of the different components of our national security system do not reward collaboration and information sharing, nor are they conducive to the development of shared vision, values, and objectives. * The lack of strategic planning for the human resources needed for national security affairs encourages many departments to outsource work beyond their oversight capacity and beyond what would be considered efficient...

Firms are constantly seeking ways to increase their sales. A raffle involving a cash prize may be an excellent technique for accomplishing this objective. A raffle might be a way to "pay" customers to buy more, and is usually appropriate for any size firm. This case shows how a simple raffle technique can be used to increase sales, and also demonstrates the type of data and the statistical technique needed to examine the effectiveness of a raffle. Students will learn the type of data needed to evaluate the raffle and how the data can be collected and tested. Further, students will be exposed to the types of questions they must ask themselves in order to properly conclude whether a raffle has been cost effective in stimulating firm sales and profits. This case is an excellent teaching to...

This article uses learning network theory as a foundation upon which the assistance and barriers minority and women entrepreneurs face when attempting to contract with the federal government may be studied. The public policy programs analyzed for this study were the SBA's 8(a) program and the Department of Defense's Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAC). The methodology utilized was an in-depth analysis of government contracting experiences in two states, Missouri and Kansas, in the greater Kansas City area via formalized interviews and government data. Research results revealed strong responses to the 8(a) program and its overall effectiveness. Racial issues were of a particular concern, as well as the perceived lack of strength behind 8(a) contracting incentives. The PTAC pr...
