Many workable definitions of management exist, but a very inclusive definition is as follows: "Management is the process of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling an organization's operations in order to achieve a coordination of the human and material resources essential in the effective and efficient attainment of objectives" (Newport & Trewatha, 1976). A less academic but more easily remembered description is that management entails getting things done through and with people. Management (the employer) has the sole power to manage or direct employees through coordination of the management functions. However, management does not have lone jurisdiction in determining conditions of employment. Generally, there are only four ways to determine the conditions of employment: t...

This paper examines a Small Business Institute (SBI) project from the perspective of the, client, students, and final examination judges. The same client was the subject of two different team projects. One team split into two factions and presented two separate reports, a total of three projects. Students liked the real world experiences and lack of structure, although they felt not all students could handle the lack of structure. The wide background of the judges was an advantage although the scoring system needed to be improved. A clear definition of the scope of work was important. The recommendations of two of the reports were used by the client as they were practical in nature. The student-client interaction was found to be important in one case as the student's enthusiasm and work...

In early 2000 research was conducted using manufacturers with Kentucky operations to determine how they used the popular quality practices of the day, particularly Total Quality Management (TQM). In 2003 Davig, Brown, Friel and Tabibzadeh determined that Kentucky manufacturing firms had launched many new quality programs but did not embrace the core concepts of TQM. Davig et al. specifically concluded that there was minimal emphasis on employee training, process measurement, the quality of customer service or process control. In this survey we revisit the "emphasis" that Kentucky manufactures place on quality practices and compare them to the current definition of TQM. The importance of quality to the Commonwealth of Kentucky is exemplified by the fact that in 2007, the Commonwealth ran...

The term "non-profit" has been criticized as fiscally inaccurate and negative, when the goal of these organizations is, in fact, positive. The US Internal Revenue Service Code state that earnings gained by "non-profit" organizations may not benefit individuals or stakeholders, which neglects a broader, social-context definition of the term "stakeholder". This paper presents a new conceptual framework for social impact, "social profit," which can be a goal shared by for-profit enterprises and non-profit organizations ("pure social profit enterprises"). A range of social profit enterprises (SPEs), SPE functions, and methods for determining the strategic value of social profit ventures are identified. By rebranding nomenclature used in discussing social good and utilizing the rigor of for-...

Traditionally food safety had to do with minimizing the immediate risks arising from consuming a risky food. Usually it requires attention on how to prevent the distribution of food that is not fresh, how to avoid the existence of toxics and pest control materials in foods, and monitoring that the various industrial additives, which are added during production, do not exceed safety regulations. This distinction between "good food" and "bad food" as based on the quality of the food is important in reducing the risk arising from eating something that is dangerous for people, but it ignores another kind of risk which is due to over-eating. The following paper expands the definition of food safety by distinguishing between the quality and the quantity of food consumed. Although it is diffic...
