Carter & Rausch (2008) point out, fire service administrators also need to forge creative strategic alliances with local hospitality service industries like hotels, as well as light industry in the area. The key issue with forging these types of alliances is staff training, but information sharing is also a valuable bonus in community embeddeness.
Staff training is one of the most important reasons why fire service organizations form affiliations with their community counterparts. Fire service administrators might overlook the importance of forming strategic alliances with community groups, such as youth organizations and faith-based organizations. Yet the staff of community groups often presumes that other… Continue Reading...
aside the conflicts of the War of Independence while ensuring ongoing strategic alliances between Old World and New. These alliances would allow the United States to have ongoing and lucrative trade relationships with Europe, but Jefferson remained suspicious of Britain and did not approve the treaty Monroe negotiated without presidential approval (“James Monroe” 1).
Thomas Jefferson is heralded as a Founding Father because he wrote the Declaration of Independence, which permanently extricated the new nation from Crown rule. Throughout his political career, Jefferson harbored strong feelings about autonomy, sovereignty, and small government, which is why he mistrusted the Crown even after… Continue Reading...

experience will be especially evident when I need to communicate my action plan and form strategic alliances with community organizations as well as colleagues. Composing my peace action plan in writing is one thing; it is another thing altogether to actually rally support and raise funds for implementing a program with as many implications and stakeholders as ours. I need to gain more leadership expertise, and to understand how to push through obstacles and barriers related to resistance to change or lack of support for my ideas.
Because early college and dual admission receive such strong support from empirical studies and in the media, most… Continue Reading...
other knowledge relevant to policy or healthcare strategy. Determining whether to form strategic alliances with other community organizations, or whether to increase staffing in specific departments all depends on access to quantitative data. For example, administrators can acquire knowledge about departments that are underperforming, which have underutilized technology, or which need additional equipment or staff to improve patient outcomes.
The validity and reliability of quantitative research depends on how the studies are designed, and how the data is analyzed and applied in practice. Small group studies yield preliminary knowledge that can be acted upon for minor or small-scale issues, or used to… Continue Reading...

Utilitarian Ethics
Utilitarian ethical frameworks are especially applicable to the modern business environment. The fundamental principles of utilitarianism include maximizing happiness, minimizing unpleasantness, and promoting the greatest good for the greatest number of people (Mill, 2017). Utilitarian ethics also focus more on the consequences of actions rather than on the act itself. In fact, one of the challenges of applying a utilitarian ethical framework to business operations is balancing the need for achieving the most desirable outcome possible while also minimizing the use of means that might be… Continue Reading...
resources management expertise. Nurse administrators also need to know about how to form strategic alliances with partners in the community, government, and private sector. Essentially, nurse administrators tend to be relatively far removed from the job of actual nursing and provision of care, while also keeping in mind the need for patient-centric policies. Strong communication skills, organizational and coordination skills, leadership skills, and of course, strategic management skills are among the core characteristics of an effective nurse administrator.

dominance, and not about cooperation or peacemaking. As a result, Okonkwo is unable to forge the strategic alliances he needs to survive as a leader or to help his community transition to the new world posed by the imposing colonialists.
Being set in rural Nigeria also helped Achebe deliver the theme of Things Fall Apart. The traditional life of the villagers in Umuofia is highly structured and hierarchical, with a strict social order based on gender, age, and status. At the highest rung of his society, Okonkwo abuses his power but is unable to become humble when the circumstances call for it. He is eventually exiled… Continue Reading...
with individual clients, although that is certainly possible. A community psychologist forges strategic alliances with other members of the individuals community, including formal and informal social structures and organizations (Society for Community Research and Action, 2018). The community psychologist aims not just to transform individual lives but also to improve the overall health and wellness in the community, promote public health and safety, and change social norms and values to promote social justice and human rights. Community psychology is also based on evidence and empiricism. Yet research is purposeful and action-driven, and may involve tangible results in terms of public policy outcomes,… Continue Reading...

the church’s relationship with surrounding community organizations. How the church forms strategic alliances with secular political, social, and economic institutions is also part of the complex array of issues that impact ecclesiology. Although some aspects of the church must remain stable over time to reflect scripture, church polity and organization remains one of the most dynamic aspects of Christianity and the role it plays in the world.
As MacDougall (2015) puts it, “at its best, ecclesiology is the theological articulation of an imagination of what it is to be a church,” (p. 1). Ecclesiology should answer some of the most important… Continue Reading...

Organizational Structure
Organizational structure in fire departments is in dire need of change. In some departments, that change is happening from the top down, as departments respond to the needs of young recruits and rookies who may be unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the “paramilitary” culture that has permeated the service (Shaw, 2011). However, it is not just a matter of matching organizational culture to suit the norms of the next generation. Restructuring fire departments… Continue Reading...
