Pedagogical Framework

This article proposes a pedagogical framework for teaching an introductory data communications and networking (DCN) course to Management Information Systems (MIS) undergraduate majors within a school of business. Building on the material provided in commonly used DCN undergraduate textbooks, the course introduces students to both theoretical and applied knowledge necessary to solve business and DCN technology problems. Since it is taught in a business school, the course encompasses students’ previous business course work, and has a strong business case orientation. All MIS majors at the senior level are required to take it.

Theorie Und Praxis

Die Gesundheitsbetriebslehre als spezielle Betriebswirtschaftslehre des Gesundheitswesens entwickelt sich rasant. Das zeigt sich nicht nur in der zunehmenden Zahl betriebswirtschaftlich orientierter Studiengänge in Gesundheitsmanagement, Gesundheitsökonomie, Public Health Management etc., sondern auch in den Ausbildungsinhalten für das Personal von Gesundheitseinrichtungen. Zudem entstehen völlig neue betriebswirtschaftliche Gesundheitsfachberufe. Zahlreiche Beispiele zeigen, dass in Forschung, Ausbildung, Lehre und Berufstätigkeit mittlerweile ein breites Spektrum der wirtschaftlichen Theorie und Praxis von Gesundheitsbetrieben abgebildet wird. Jedoch steckt die Gesundheitsbetriebslehre immer noch in ihren Anfängen, und es ist nach vielen Jahren stark volkswirtschaftlich geprägter Gesundheitsökonomie noch jede Menge wissenschaftlicher Grundlagenarbeit zu leisten. For a long time health economy has been strongly influenced by macroeconomic theory and practice. But know health management has developed rapidly in recent years as a special business management theory. There exist now a broad spectrum of the economic theory and practice of health care companies in research, training and professional activity. However, these are still the first steps, and especially a lot of basic scientific work has to be done.

Abstract Background The workplace has been identified as a priority setting for health promotion. There are potential advantages of systematically integrating Occupational Health Management (OHM) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). However, OHM and CSR are usually overseen by different management branches with different sets of values, and there is a lack of empirical research regarding interfaces between OHM and CSR. Germany offers a particularly useful setting due to legislation requiring health to be promoted in the workplace. This study aims to examine key stakeholders’ views and experiences regarding interfaces between OHM and CSR in German companies. Methods Individual semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with a sample of 77 German stakeholders from three different groups: experts in occupational health and corporate social responsibility from various companies (n = 35), business partners (n = 19), and various non-business partners (n = 23). Transcripts were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results Participants identified several areas in which OHM and CSR are already interacting at strategic, structural and cultural levels, but also highlighted several barriers that undermine a more meaningful interaction. Participants reported difficulties in articulating the underlying ethical values relevant to both OHM and CSR at the strategic level. Several structural barriers were also highlighted, including a lack of resources (both financial and knowledge), and OHM and CSR departments not being fully developed or undertaken at entirely different operational levels. Finally, the missing practical implementation of corporate philosophy was identified as a critical cultural barrier to interfaces between OHM and CSR, with existing guidelines and companies’ philosophies that already connect OHM and CSR not being embraced by employees and managers. Conclusions There is already significant overlap in the focus of OHM and CSR, at the structural, strategic and cultural levels in many German companies. The potential is there, both in theory and practice, for the systematic combination of OHM and CSR. The insights from this study will be useful to ensure that closer integration between both management branches is set up in a socially sustainable and ethical manner.

266 Background: Randomized controlled trials by Temel (2010) and Brumley (2003, 2007) have demonstrated the positive clinical, psycho-social, and utilization impact of providing early clinic or home-based palliative care (PC) concurrently with standard disease-focused treatment. Despite clear benefits, the growth of outpatient PC has been constrained by lack of clarity about the “business case” for hospitals or health systems to develop and fund PC services outside the inpatient setting. Methods: We will present findings from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) that provide a compelling quantification of the risks for hospitals to continue “business as usual” in this changing environment. Our approach measures quality, quantity, and costs of care for patients with cancer over a period of 6-12 months prior to death. Performance on some of these measures impact revenues in the prevailing fee-for-service reimbursement model; others are utilized in national, public ratings of quality; and still others influence organizational ability to compete in the population health management model that rewards quality and efficiency over time. Results: We used these data to highlight VCU Health System’s exposure to financial risks to create a strong business case for outpatient palliative care in which patient-centered and hospital-centered outcomes are aligned. This approach elevated our proposal to be included in a broader strategic initiative by our health system to manage complex care more efficiently, and to manage population health more proactively. Our analytic approach was then replicated by a diverse group of California provider groups who adopted or adapted the VCU model to advance their community-based palliative care programs as part of the California Health Care Foundation’s “Palliative Care Action Community” initiative. Conclusions: Our analytic model and articulation of the business case for community-based palliative care can help others to create and sustain quality-driven, patient-centered, cost-effective PC programs in their own institutions.

The Creation

In this paper discusses in an open manner the differences between intelligence, talent and genius. These three human capacities are often informally confused, but they have their own distinct characteristics. Talent is associated with the ability to execute intellectual and practical actions with an enormous degree of perfection. In this case, theory and practice become inseparable in the development of these actions. Genius permeates talent and intelligence, and has a differentiated ingredient, called imagination, which makes the holder of this intellectual capacity look further, crossing steps in the creation process.
