While mandated academic consolidations are typically finalised, the lack of a transfer of knowledge and experience from one merger action to another within a larger state or country university system has resulted in wasted resources, participant stress and unintended effects on the student population. In 2011, the University System of Georgia initiated a consolidation program with a major goal of achieving a lower and more effective cost basis. This case study examines the undergraduate and graduate level business administration program consolidation that occurred between Kennesaw State University and Southern Polytechnic State University during 2013-2015 as experienced by the authors of the study. The conduct of this program consolidation as well as lessons learned and recommendations for future higher education consolidation efforts, particularly knowledge transfer for both academic researchers as well as higher education administrators, are offered as part of this case study.","PeriodicalId":253960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Teaching and Case Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130199513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The best example of this complicated relationship between the state and free markets is the case of the Russian energy giant, Gazprom. With the decline in the company's gas production and competitiveness in the Russian gas market, the Russian government may need to restructure Gazprom's relations with independents to prevent it from strategically blocking important projects. Such a scenario calls for a much-needed re-evaluation of the conflicting institutional relationships between the Russian state and Gazprom. This literature review brings together key concepts playing a role in the relationship between Gazprom and the Russian state, effectively laying the foundation for future research to gain deeper insights into the future of one of the worlds largest energy companies.","PeriodicalId":253960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Teaching and Case Studies","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116780858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case study research explored the effectiveness of cross-cultural training practices by interviewing US service members assigned to various positions within the Korean Peninsula. A thematic analysis of the interview transcripts revealed that the formal training practices of the US armed forces in South Korea are lacking in length and do not adequately cover service members' cross-cultural integration needs. While some service members found additional resources on their own and by exploiting affiliated local resources, the overall training experience fell behind similar services the army provides in European locations. The insights gained from this study can help to significantly improve current and future cross-cultural training models that help to build service members' cross-cultural competence in any foreign environment they may be assigned to in the future.","PeriodicalId":253960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Teaching and Case Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132211007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, their choices of the suitable teaching strategies represent the quality of teaching offered to learners. The purpose of the study is to investigate the predominant teaching strategies used by science, mathematics, and technology (SMT)-teachers in US curriculum schools in UAE and to identify the most effective factors that influence their way to select these SMT-teaching strategies. A mixed method approach is adopted to fulfil the purpose of the study by conducting an online questionnaire for teachers and a face-to-face interview with the schools' academic supervisors. The results revealed that teachers in UAE are recently applying what is called 'engaging lectures' where both traditional and innovative teaching strategies are combined. Additionally, the main factors that drive teachers to select their teaching strategies are identified.","PeriodicalId":253960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Teaching and Case Studies","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130507191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Empowered employees provide positive experiences and therefore retention rates increase as well as employee commitment to the organisation. This qualitative study sought to document and describes how retail employees perceive the role of autonomy to implement customer decisions and the effect on job satisfaction and turnover intent. A descriptive multiple-case research design was used and data were collected through multiple sources. The study indicates real-world connections between autonomy, empowerment, job satisfaction, and the intent to quit, identifying characteristics that affect such employee intentions.

This qualitative study explored police officers' narratives of experiences between their community and the police in regards to racial profiling issues in law enforcement. Interviews were conducted with police officers of different ethnic backgrounds from various law enforcement agencies located in the South Bay region of Southern California. Findings support that beliefs about racial profiling are often influenced by misrepresentation of police in the media and community demographics. Incidents of profiling exist but are not as widespread as portrayed. There are severe consequences of unfavourable perceptions or beliefs from community members surrounding racial profiling. Law enforcement officers understand these perceptions and are making strides to reach out to the communities they serve and address any perceptions or beliefs that may be emerging before the media plays a role in misrepresentation.","PeriodicalId":253960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Teaching and Case Studies","volume":"9 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121915933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many of the country's small and medium-sized enterprises do not survive beyond the first five years, and very few eventually grow into maturity. Prior research has underlined the benefits of business coaching to help novice entrepreneurs acquire the necessary technical and managerial skills to see their businesses through the start-up phases. However, precisely how actual business coaching/mentoring can support novice entrepreneurs within the Nigerian context remains an unexplored area of scholarship. Further, there is lack of adequate investigation regarding novice entrepreneurs' experiences with the coach-protege relationship, particularly in developing countries such as Nigeria. This literature review synthesises the body of knowledge on the study of entrepreneurship in Nigeria, providing a basis for future research on how the coachprotege relationship can be further improved and in turn contribute to entrepreneurship sustainability.","PeriodicalId":253960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Teaching and Case Studies","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128345833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The other is new and has trouble estimating when materials will arrive and how long installation will take.
