The question of offshore outsourcing has evolved into one of the most controversial management issues of the 21st century. The question is interspersed with numerous economic and political controversies, but it is widely believed to be a natural and benevolent feature of globalization that is beneficial to all participants.

One thing that high school sports taught all followers in the 2000s was that what happens off the field can be as important as what happens between the lines.
Although the past 10 years have been full of outstanding achievements on the fields and courts of play, various issues and controversies dominated conversation among coaches, administrators, state officials, fans, parents and student-athletes.

The controversies between the approaches of the old and new schools of institutional economics were discussed. In the old institutionalism, concepts of neoclassical economics were rejected and the dominant theme was 'mankind as a product of culture.' In contrast, new institutionalists seek to modify the rational choice model of neoclassic economics while emphasizing 'mankind as a rational chooser.' The most important aspects to be reconciled in the two perspectives are the rational and rule-guided dimensions of human behavior and a theory of idealogical change.

As leader of the West Virginia Council of Churches, an organization embracing 600,000 parishioners in 3,000 churches around the state, Dennis Sparks needs all the people skills he can get. He said church politics makes working with the Legislature seem easy. Hes the perfect envoy, the quintessential diplomat, affable, reasonable, calm and soft-spoken, adept at fostering cooperation, consensus and, above all, communication. Challenges and controversies dont faze him. He plunges head-on into such divisive issues as mountaintop removal, health care and two U.S. wars without batting an eye. Working with coalfield disasters, he saw how the need to help overcomes even the deepest differences. Now, after eight rigorous years as the voice of state churches, the minister of the middle ground wil...
