The way training is delivered in a corporate environment has a tremendous effect on results. This study investigates the role of culture in the learning styles of adult French and American students enrolled in online training programs at an international university. Using Kolb's learning style inventory, the learning style preferences of respondents in both cultural groups will be classified as divergers, convergers, accommodators, and assimilators, reflecting their general tendencies toward learning environments as conceptualized by Kolb (1985). The assumption is that Americans prefer to learn from action-oriented methods and are more comfortable learning from activities that are not job related, such as role plays and games, than do their French counterparts who prefer to learn from job-related activities based on solid research. These preferences will then be examined in light of learners' responses to Hofstede's Culture in the Workplace questionnaire, which examines cultural tendencies towards collectivism/individualism, power orientation, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity, and long/short term orientation (Hofstede, 1980). The sample population will be composed of 150 American and 150 French trainees. They are all employed in multinationals and hold jobs that require them to attend corporate training and travel around the world. Conclusions will be drawn which compare French and American cultural differences in learning style preferences and the extent to which these preferences are mediated by cultural orientations as conceptualized by Hofstede (1980). Results will assist multinational corporations in understanding the role of culture in their training scenarios as they seek to provide more effective training for their increasingly cultural diverse learner populations which can provide some proof that they will be successful in using the new skills.

Establishing Software Security from the Ground Up: Core Defense Mechanisms as Aspects of Application Design

Conclusion The objective of this project is to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the Home and Community Based Waiver Services (HCBS) program in Alaska. The proposal reveals that HCBS came into being with the increase in the mounting pressure to provide care for certain group of people at their home and their communities. Alaska is among the six states that introduced the HCBS program shortly after the enactment of the HCBS act. Analysis of the HCBS waiver program in Alaska reveals the states include the children infected with AIDS. Since the introduction of the program in Alaska, the number of people continues to increase. With the increase in the HCBS participants, the budget allotted to the program could not cover the expenditure associated with the program. Moreover, the shortage of staff is also the challenges facing the implementation of HCBS in Alaska. The proposal employs mixed method for data collection and data analysis. The estimated time frame for the proposal will take approximately 12 months. The findings of the proposal will provide several contributions.
