This paper attempts to discover effective practices for handling “slacker” teammates - one of the most common problems reported on student teams - by completing discourse completion interviews with professionals, faculty, and students. Participants were given written scenarios and asked to comment on the pros and cons of different responses and specify what they thought was the ideal response. Professionals' responses often differed from those of students and faculty, suggesting particular areas in which teamwork training is needed. Specifically, students need to be coached to avoid the temptation to simply do slackers' work for them and to instead provide constructive, non-accusatory criticism grounded in clear criteria and focused on future steps. We also found that professionals used the team infrastructure to solve problems by assigning earlier deadlines, breaking the project into smaller chunks, reassigning responsibilities and confirming team members' buy-in for tasks and criteria. We end by recommending that team members be prompted at the end of the project to describe what steps they took to motivate and coach under-performing teammates.","PeriodicalId":290419,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121255598","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}

Control, power, and culture are thus strongly intertwined in the interaction of people in the municipality. The current situation entails that the management in the municipality approaches IT projects from a linear and reductionist perspective, assuming that the world is controllable, predictable and manageable. Experience has shown that these projects often do not lead to the desired results. This article discuss a good balance between the concepts power, control, and culture that is essential for sustainable change management, but it is important to note that this balance is context dependent and can only be achieved by learning from our own behavior by reflecting on our thoughts and actions. This is a process of lifelong learning. For this reason, this study approaches IT projects from a different perspective, based on complex responsive process theory, in order to understand what happens during change projects, potentially leading to lifelong learning not only in the workplace, but also in the academic classrooms of managers.","PeriodicalId":290419,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133623517","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}

An analysis of the documents seems to indicate that engineers lack rhetorical strategies to counter the culture of an organization and challenge managerial decisions. The analysis indicates that the documents are writer-rather than reader-based. In contrast, when writers select rhetorical devices that consider the reader's knowledge, reading processes and styles, as occurred in the letters sent to residents during the 2011 Mississippi flood, there is an increased likelihood that a message will achieve its goal. The presentation will discuss rhetorical failures and successes and suggest rhetorical strategies for writers to use to achieve effective communication, regardless of the culture and political/economic environment of an organization. The presentation will also recommend ways to help students, engineers and technical writers use these strategies effectively.","PeriodicalId":290419,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114811385","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}

In order to understand the teaching potential of one such text, the Business Model Canvas, we explore how the canvas operates in an entrepreneurship classroom. In doing so, we draw on the activity theory literature and data from an entrepreneurship education case study. The case study followed a course offered primarily to upper-level and graduate engineering students and includes observation, reflection, and autoethnographic data regarding how students and instructors used the canvas. The findings explore the ways in which the canvas, as a mediating textual artifact, served to anchor the students' work in the needs of their audiences, consistently bringing them back not only to questions of who the users of their products will be and what those users want, but to questions about who they need to pitch their product ideas to and how the data they gather can support that pitch. At the same time, the findings illuminate the limitations of the visual/textual tool, and consider what is left out of the canvas and how those omissions might also shape students' work.","PeriodicalId":290419,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122894406","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}
