Sociology of Corruption Course SOC 410 Course Description: “Corruption” is a very strong and loud word. Media and press seem to be constantly yelling about corruption scandals; economists, politicians, and world leaders, everyone is talking about the big “C” word nowadays. But what does “Corruption” stand for? How is corruption connected to culture and society? What is the relationship between corruption and inequality? Can corruption be good? This course addresses these questions by providing a sociological understanding of corruption. In this course, specific attention will be paid to studying the connection between macro and micro processes; corruption and culture; corruption and society; corruption and inequality. The course will start with teaching the basics: the role of social capital and social networks. Further in the course we will analyze a variety of definitions, opinions, and theories applicable to corruption studies. We will also explore the ways how political, economic, and sociological processes affect the formation and development of corruption. These topics will be examined through the prism of social institutions, cultural contexts, and informal exchange. With the help of comparative analysis, we will gain insight into the corruption practices that characterize different countries. Learning Objectives: By the end of the course, you will: ● Get acquainted with the range of definitions, types, and classifications of corruption; ● Grasp major theories of corruption and sociological theories that help explain the construct of corruption; ● Be able to interpret the role of culture and values in the definition of corruption; ● Be able to explain the role of “bad apples” and institutionalized corruption; ● Have learned how corruption affects different social institutions and lives of average citizens; ● Understand insights into the social intricacies of corruption in different countries; ● Feel comfortable to discuss and critique current media reports on corruption; ● Apply newly gained knowledge in the research project on the corruption case of your choice.

Risograph printing is a type of digital printing that uses heat to burn an image into a master. When the image is burned into the master it creates an opening that functions as an image carrier. It works similarly to screen printing where liquid ink is pushed through a mesh, or in this case a master, in the shape of the image being printed. RISO printers print using spot colors made from soy inks which allows for fun color combinations, overprinting, printing bright colors on colored paper, and more. However, RISO inks never fully dry so it is important to consider how much ink is used in a design and how much time is allowed for drying between print runs. Our MF9450 prints two colors in one pass, but addiitonal color combinatons can be achieved by running multiple passes on press.

Leadership Communication Edition, University of Arkansas Long Description: This version adapted for leadership communication. Chapters from the original have been reordered. Some chapters have been deleted in this version. Principles of Management is adapted from a work produced by a publisher who has requested that they and the original author not receive attribution. This adapted edition is produced by the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing through the eLearning Support Initiative. Principles of Management teaches management principles to tomorrow’s business leaders by weaving three threads through every chapter: strategy, entrepreneurship and active leadership. Strategic — All business school teachings have some orientation toward performance and strategy and are concerned with making choices that lead to high performance. Principles of Management will frame performance using the notion of the triple bottom-line — the idea that economic performance allows individuals and organizations to perform positively in social and environmental ways as well. The triple bottom line is financial, social, and environmental performance. It is important for all students to understand the interdependence of these three facets of organizational performance. The Entrepreneurial Manager — While the ”General Management“ course at Harvard Business School was historically one of its most popular and impactful courses (pioneered in the 1960s by Joe Bower), recent Harvard MBAs did not see themselves as ”general managers.“ This course was relabeled ”The Entrepreneurial Manager“ in 2006, and has regained its title as one of the most popular courses. This reflects and underlying and growing trend that students, including the undergraduates this book targets, can see themselves as entrepreneurs and active change agents, but not just as managers. By starting fresh with an entrepreneurial/change management orientation, this text provides an exciting perspective on the art of management that students can relate to. At the same time, this perspective is as relevant to existing for-profit organizations (in the form intrapreneurship) as it is to not-for-profits and new entrepreneurial ventures. Active Leadership —Starting with the opening chapter, Principles of Management show students how leaders and leadership are essential to personal and organizational effectiveness and effective organizational change. Students are increasingly active as leaders at an early age, and are sometimes painfully aware of the leadership failings they see in public and private organizations. It is the leader and leadership that combine the principles of management (the artist’s palette, tools, and techniques) to create the art of management. This book’s modular format easily maps to a POLC (Planning, Organizing, Leading, and Controlling) course organization, which was created by Henri Fayol (General and industrial management (1949). London: Pitman Publishing company), and suits the needs of both undergraduate and graduate course in Principles of Management. This textbook has been used in classes at: College of Alameda, Columbia Basin College, Flagler College, Johnson County Community College, Pasadena City College, Penn State University, Renton Technical College, San Diego Mesa College, Sierra College, Yuba College.
