Overview

Public agencies have until recently not been engaging in succession planning. Succession planning is the process by which an organization plans for and replaces outgoing managers, executives and selected chief employees. Such employees initially held vital positions affecting the success of the organization, and preparing for succession is critical to the success of an organization in its present and future plans. The process of succession planning includes carrying out preparations of how the organization will select and recruit successors, the most effective way to handle changes between executives and how to build upon its successors (Todnem & Macleod, 2009).

An Analysis of the Formulation of California Senate Bill 4

Chapter 1
The purpose of this research is to analyze the process creating, SB 4, the legislation on hydraulic fracking as an opportunity to understand how and why the fracking issue gained enough momentum to reach the level of legislative decision. Policies that reach the decision-making level on a legislative agenda have been driven to that level by internal and external factors of the government (Kingdon, 1995). The factors and actors that worked together to put ‘fracking’ on the agenda of the California Assembly and Senate are interesting because of the wide range of opinions held by the proponents ...

Chapter 5
Discussion
SB 4 is the first California law to address the issue of hydraulic fracturing or fracking for natural gas in California. The fracking method had been used in California for several years without any regulation (Freyman, 2014, p. 59). Therefore, the research studied the possible reasons the issue became a part of public conversation, and finally reached the agenda setting level of the California legislature. And, only that, the issue became law in California. Well simulation is the term used in SB 4 to describe three types of the procedure hydraulic fracturing, acid matrix stimulation, ...

Introduction
Guidelines and funding for equal employment were presented in 1961 in an Executive Order signed by Democratic President J. F. Kennedy (Stewart, 2012). And then, the Supreme Court was the center of forming the foundational legal concepts of affirmative action (FAQ, 2003). And later, Republican President Richard M. Nixon supported employment equity by establishing federal contractors to meet affirmative action standards. Three decades later, 32 years after the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the California legislature passed a ban on affirmative action. The law had been initiated by California Proposition 209 which had been accepted in a popular vote. The ...

Being known to people is a social phenomenon that is ascribed to the objects that the popular individual interacts with. People in the society become well known because of the collective attention that they get from the societal members. Although all human beings have a role that they play in the society, the individuals who are well known provoke a social influence to other members in the society. The reports that individuals give towards the person determines a person's popularity or how well the person is known. However, every individual is significant; all that differs is the level of popularity among other members ...

The sheer size of this debt (roughly $16 trillion) is so massive and seemingly out of control that it is nearly impossible to fathom. This paper will examine this debt and the factors that caused its exponential rise over ...

The number of home-schooled children is on the rise as it gains wider acceptance by educational institutions and the Federal government. The clamor from parents who see this as a good opportunity is increasing, as they believe that their children must be given the chance to experience such activities to provide them a well-rounded perspective of school life and academic instruction. Therefore, home-schooled children should be allowed to participate in public school activities.
The public events and school functions provide an opportunity for age appropriate interaction home-schooled children might not get otherwise. Although it is the parents' choice whether to ...

Non-Governmental Organizations or NGOs have become influential actors of societal development and change on a national as well as international scale. Beginning as non-governmental consultants to the United Nations, the number of NGOs across the world has witnessed exponential growth since the 1980s. Although most people understand what an NGO is - the name itself makes it very clear that these are organizations that are not government run – there is little consensus on what may be described as key characteristics of an ...

People have been engaged in different activities that may be associated with and classified as organized sports competitions for hundreds of years. One of the first examples of modern sports marketing involved tobacco cards featuring popular baseball players of the 1870s .

Given this explanation, organized crime can be seen as a social institution that is socially disorganized. Organized crime has deemed to be problematic to eliminate from the society, despite the several attempts by the government to curb it. However, there is still ...

Abstract

Plato proposed that the ultimate form of government was either an oligarchy or kingdom. Pericles held the belief that democracy was the form of government under which prominence grew. Plato was a revered and eventually became well respected teacher in Classical Athens, his way of thinking and his views of a perfect society show him to be somewhat of an idealist more than a realist, as Pericles himself proved to be with his actions and achievements throughout his lifetime. In Plato’s time, he valued reason above all else, and through thought, he sought to change the way a city state was run ...

Abortion

It is an issue that has had many groups up in arms over what is morally acceptable in society and what is considered criminal. Individuals in society believe that every life should be protected. Many people believe that the policy on abortion may give people the avenue to terminate a pregnancy if they want, or if they decide that it is too much for them to raise a child. Policies are implemented on a regular basis to ensure the limited access of safe and legal abortion. Individuals believe that the woman should be given the right to choose. Others believe that the ...

Historically, Thomas Jefferson is most frequently portrayed as one of America’s Founding Fathers. Even in contemporary politics, segments in the United States seek to align themselves with Jeffersonian principles and wisdom. Jefferson did indeed have a lot to say about politics and principles, one of his main campaigns during his tenure as Founding Father was a vehement demand for religious liberty. In an oft quoted speech, Jefferson avowed, “I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man,” a phrase engraved on his monument on the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. ...

At the time of the reign of the Emperor Justinian, the once mighty Byzantine Empire was experiencing a period of decline and weakness.

This effort required military, political, legal and social changes. This paper will look at how he accomplished this.

Government agencies are in most cases mandated with essential service-delivery and thus are often non-profit in nature. Hence, they are riddled with a culture of inefficiencies and underperformance. This paper will evaluate organizational culture, particularly in government agencies, thus the term organization will strictly be used to refer to government agencies (the civil service and the public sector in general).
In this ever dynamic business environment, management strategies are formulated every once in a while. The broad purpose of the so-called strategies is to enhance performance at the organizational level. For this to be possible the work ...

Since the turn of the 20^th century, US governments have tried to control the use of drugs through the application of different policies that have mainly focused on the economic aspects of distribution at the expense of other policies. The federal, state and local governments have spent billions of dollars in their effort to ensure that America is free from drugs. However, these efforts seems to have come to naught since it is cheaper and easier than ever before to obtain drugs like heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and other illegal drugs. The war on drugs has failed ...

Restatement of Problem
The topic of consumer buying behavior has researched by a number of scholars, and each one of them has illustrated what are the possible factors that influence or guide consumer behavior. Therefore, when organizations plan their strategies to ‘guide’ consumers, they do so by studying these factors and using them to design and market their products or services. This involves the participation of all stakeholders in the planning and strategizing process. The stakeholders could include the design team, the production team, finance, marketing, purchase and stores to name a few, and it is the collective effort of ...

INTRODUCTION
The poor have always had to struggle throughout the generations. Often marginalized, the poor are whittled-down to a statistic. The poor represent different things to different people. Poor women, in particular, often find themselves with limited incomes, single parent responsibilities, low employment levels, and a need to receive aid from state and county welfare programs. This general aid includes government provided medical care. However, with the passage of recent healthcare policies, the types of therapies and treatments offered to and made available to poor women is changing. Women’s health issues, concerns, and conditions often find themselves open to ...

What influences a consumer’s purchasing behavior? A few factors that come to mind are brand awareness, product knowledge, advertisements, and references. To understand the depth of this intrinsic behavior, this paper explores the various factors that contribute to a consumer’s purchasing pattern. A very powerful tool that guides consumer behavior is word-of-mouth advertisement. Barry L. Bayus, writing in a column in Journal of Advertising Research had this to say on the indirect effects of marketing; “The business community is well aware of the power of word-of-mouth on consumers, and they are also equally aware how catastrophic it can be if ...

The effects of bilingualism in a minority language on third language acquisition

Abstract
In the area of language acquisition, bilinguals differ from monolinguals in several ways. It is accepted that previous language knowledge is facilitative in developing proficiency in a new language and both the learner’s native and non-native languages can be sources of influence in acquiring a new language. Given the evidence that in some social situations knowledge of a second language is facilitative in learning a third, the paper investigates to what extent knowledge of a widely-spoken but non-official local language can be shown to be facilitative in this way. The students in this study are ...

Defining race as a political sociological theory

Race remains one the controversial topics that raise a heated debate among scholars and members of the public.

Another section of people believe that leaders have used the race to promote peace, diversity and regional integration. Based on these assertions, most people prefer not discussing issues related to race in the public because ...

Fascism and National Socialism

Political theorists, historians and and scholars have long tried interpreting and defining fascism but the definitions have either been too narrow or too wide as each interpretation of fascism is distinct and based on the ideological and political leanings and thoughts of the scholar or the theorist. According to Roger Griffin, fascism is "a genus of political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultra nationalism". He goes on to say that the fascist ideology has three core components- the myth of rebirth, decadence and populist ultranationalism. Paxton in his book, The ...
