, 2000: 92). The participants also found many hidden benefits for themselves, as they said they felt more a part of the wider California community and had expanded job opportunities as a result of their greater level of English proficiency.
The study "Effects of the Implementation of Proposition 227 on the Education of English Learners, K - 12" notes that the main aim of the program was to improve the performance of children in school. The study criticized the tutoring for not being coordinated with the programs at the local school districts. While over 50% of the CBET coordinators surveyed said that they had the impression that the CBET program had improved the English proficiency of the students in their district only 15% of those surveyed reported having data to support this impression. (Parrish et al., 2002: 93) However, one might point out that substantial gains in English literacy are unlikely to show up within a 2-year period on student tests, while there still might be an unquantifiable improvement in children's comfort level in speaking English at home.
Certain facets of the program might necessitate some modification. For example, in exchange for the free tutoring, parents had to sign a pledge card stating they would tutor their children in English several hours per week, which might be difficult for parents working multiple jobs with large families. Surely the presence of English...

In that sense, Wilkoff (1995, as cited by Weick & Quinn, 1999) reports on her attempts to intervene between two companies that had fused together in an unsuccessful mergence.

She began meeting with each actor separately and explaining the other's performance from his or her particular cultural assumptions.
This makes the mentor more of a leader for training, but elevates training far beyond "Do this, do that, and bring it to me when you're done." Kaye (2002) makes an important point about mentoring: with the push to make businesses and government leaner, often there simply are not enough executives to go around to mentor all the candidates. A group approach can be one solution. She suggests that those
Nursing Change Project The organization at focus in this nursing change project and the nursing managers in cohesion implemented an evidence-based nursing practice model in the health care organization. As noted in the work of Keele (nd) there has been several models that have provided contributions on the conceptual level to the implementation of evidence-based nursing.

Introduction A change management plan to implement a new process in the workforce to allow for a business to provide more personalized service is needed in the retail industry (Aloysius, Hoehle, Goodarzi & Venkatesh, 2018). Brick and mortar stores must do something to differentiate themselves from e-commerce businesses, which can provide more convenience to shoppers who prefer not to have to leave their homes.

AbstractNot only is the problem longstanding, it has been well documented time and again without any substantive progress. In fact, the representation of senior African Americans military leaders in the U.S. armed forces has remained essentially unchanged over the past half century despite purported efforts on the part of the U.S. government to effect meaningful changes in its personnel evaluation and promotion policies.
