TL;DR: The survey results so far suggest that employers could force a dramatic change in mass communication education education in American universities with the right catalyst as mentioned in this paper, and that a second wave that undoubtedly will have a dramatic impact on education over the next decade will be the convergence of media on an increasingly powerful Internet.
Abstract: This paper blends two lines of research I have been pursuing for nearly 30 years - 1) Employer dissatisfaction with college graduates (specifically mass communication graduates) and their demand for more practical, hands-on education, and 2) The rise of multimedia (thus multi-sensory) education, especially with the development of increasingly sophisticated personal computer and the enhancement of the World Wide Web. the quality of mass communication graduates from America's universities. In a series of surveys, 35% of daily newspaper editors, 43% of weekly newspaper editors, 57% of magazine editors and 56% of broadcast news directors agreed or strongly agreed that graduates were unprepared or poorly prepared to assume a position with their respective organizations. And on a 5-point scale, with 5 representing "strongly agree" and 4 "agree," the media executives' overall median response was over 3.9 to the statement (varying slightly from medium to medium): "Journalism students need to serve a professional internship before entering the job market." My current survey, conducted in conjunction with Mathew Manweller, Ph.D, of Central Washington University in the United States, is still under way, but 340 responses so far suggest that media executives are becoming increasingly impatient with American higher education institutions. The results of this survey may be seen as part of the post- modernist movement that some so-called experts suggest is becoming an anti- institutional trend amplified by the failures of both business and government institutions in preventing or dealing with the current economic crisis. The current survey is of a broader cross-section of media executives, including weekly newspaper, daily newspaper, and magazine executives; TV, radio and cable news executives; Internet-based "new media" news executives; and public relations executives. The survey results so far suggest that employers could force a dramatic change in mass communication education in American universities with the right catalyst. A second "wave" that undoubtedly will have a dramatic impact on education over the next decade will be the convergence of media on an increasingly powerful Internet. My simultaneous exploratory research in Internet-based education suggests ways in which these two trends could merge with yet a third trend toward globalization and

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the need for health system design and the importance of developing a health system that meets the needs of society, and emphasize the need to develop a healthcare infrastructure that can especially meet the need of rural populations, and why it is necessary for governments to have appropriate policies that optimally integrate all components of the health system.
Abstract: This chapter addresses the need for health system design and the importance of developing a health system that meets the needs of society. It emphasizes the importance of developing a healthcare infrastructure that can especially meet the needs of rural populations. The chapter discusses why it is necessary for governments to have appropriate policies that optimally integrate all components of the health system in order to ensure proper implementation. Such a health system should ensure citizens’ access to quality and affordable healthcare. The importance of integrating substantive reform with governance reform in order to achieve desired objectives is also discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors make an important distinction between outright privatization and the regime's attempts at introducing cosmetic improvement measures, as well as a system of benign oversight which involves the deliberate acquiescence of state-owned enterprises for unofficial use.
Abstract: This chapter seeks to move beyond conventional economic thought on the nature of the North Korean economy by examining the factors that have altered the centralized planned economy into one so dysfunctional that it will never achieve sustained development and modernization without a radical paradigm shift, founded on market-oriented reform and opening. This chapter makes an important distinction between outright privatization and the regime’s attempts at introducing cosmetic improvement measures, as well as a system of benign oversight which involves the deliberate acquiescence of state-owned enterprises for unofficial use. Finally, it defines what the contemporary North Korean economy looks like and whether it resembles any socialist state to which it is often compared.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship of internal marketing and employees affective commitment with internal supply chain integration and uncovered the mediation mechanism by proposing employees’ affective commitments as mediator between internal marketing, and found that internal marketing is a significant predictor of internal supply-chain integration.
Abstract: This study examined the relationship of internal marketing and employees’ affective commitment with internal supply chain integration. Furthermore, this study also uncovered the mediation mechanism by proposing employees’ affective commitment as mediator between internal marketing and internal supply chain integration for services firms. Data of 245 usable responses was collected from five major banks of Thailand through self-administered questionnaire by utilizing convenience sampling. Structural equations modeling was carried out in Smart-PLS 3 in order to test the proposed hypotheses. Results depicted that internal marketing is a significant predictor of internal supply chain integration and this relationship becomes stronger with the intervention of employees’ affective commitment. This study sheds a light on the importance of employees for service organizations and provide a way forward to managers for policy making about their employees in order to develop profitable and competitive assets for the organization.
