Critical Thinking Action Project
The assumptions that can be reached through deductive reasoning -- that there are most definitely problems between the home office and the foreign office; and that the two offices have different objectives -- are certainly not rocket science. These kinds of problems create tension and conflict, which detract from the objectives and mission of ExtraVert. The solution (or solutions) to the problem presented by this assignment -- what has gone wrong with ExtraVert and can the problem be solved -- will be presented in this paper. Solutions can almost always be arrived at if careful, thoughtful, thorough understanding and courtesy is the strategy and theme of the problem-solving project.
Cultural Differences and Constructive Behaviors
Clearly, with any global operation, there needs to be clear-cut communication established between the home office and the foreign office -- or offices, if there is more than one foreign unit as part of the global company. Before any discussion about cultural conflict or differences in approaches to technology -- or even the chaotic organizational structure -- there should...
This apparent lack of communication in ExtraVert results in the fact that no mutually agreed-upon approach has been tried.
How do you sort out the conflicts that result from poor communication if there is no universal acknowledgement among all the executives that communication is at the heart of the schism? Who is talking to whom, and what kind of leadership is promoted in the home office? These and other questions are apparently not being asked.
Moreover, it is possible that aside from poor communication, cultural clashes and differences in how to run an operation, what ExtraVert may be lacking is good corporate governance (CG). In the Journal of Business Ethics (Chan, et al., 2012) the authors describe good corporate governance -- which ExtraVert apparently lacks -- as a situation in which corporate management has "…demonstrated its responsibility to protect the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders," including employees, lenders, consumers. Good corporate governance assures transparency, fairness, and accountability,…

Critical Thinking in Nursing Education For far too long nursing has been seen as a profession that requires compassion along with obedience to the orders of doctors who were traditionally considered to be the "real" medical professionals. Nurses were until recently inside and outside of the profession seen as sort of helpmeets to the doctors, a form of junior wife to the male doctor. Of course nurses were always more than
The questions on legal liability issues were minimal as the field of legal issues is new in nursing. The questions addressed a theoretical part regarding the legal liability issues. They were no need of clarification since the questionnaires were easy and self -- administrative. Although the researcher was there for assistance but telephonically. 1.7. Data analysis In this chapter, the analysis is discussed in detail. Data was collected by means of
Cartoon Analysis An Analysis of Tom Toles' Gay Rights Cartoon Tom Toles' most recent cartoon for the Washington Post shows a wedding cake with -- instead of the traditional bride and groom figurines -- a groom and a groom, smiling and holding hands. One of the figurines is playing on the Sinatra tune, "New York, New York," saying, "If we can make it here…" suggesting that gay marriage can make it anywhere.
action that has been developed in Western culture over many centuries. While we can trace the origins of this term to the Greek and Socratic philosophers, it has a special relevance to theory and practice in the twentieth century. In the mid-twentieth century critical thinking became a much debated and contemporary subject that was linked to the rationalistic and interrogative mode of scientific inquiry (Defining Critical Thinking, para. 3).

So as to apply relevant scientific knowledge, it has to be obtained from the great quantity of available literature. This is accomplished in a literature review. Founding the application of the present literature on a systematic review differs from the opportunistic application of literature. Allegations in publications are
