Cultural Changes

Chapter 1 explains how social science can help students navigate college. Beginning with illustrative student case studies, the introductory chapter describes how social, economic, and cultural changes over the last several decades resulted in the new life course stage called “emerging adulthood.” Emerging adults today are different from the entering college students of the past, which means that today’s students’ experiences are markedly distinct from that of their parents and grandparents. Detailing these differences across generations of entering college students, this chapter discusses the implications of these changes for understanding entering college students today. This chapter also introduces and summarizes the content of the subsequent book chapters.

A Company

This paper explores the issues surrounding the subsidization of a technology based durable good and on the delicate dance between the producer trying to protect their profit, competitors trying to to create and sell aftermarket goods, and innovative customers who attempt to use the goods in completely unplanned, and unprofitable ways. A number of case studies are presented that highlighted the ease with which customers can tinker with subsidized products. These include Microsoft's Xbox, Netpliances' i-Opener, the Sony AIBO, and the general problems of the prepaid phone industry. A number of legal cases are also presented, although these focus more on the issue of other firms attempting to make competing aftermarket products for subsidized primary goods. The difficult question of what can a company do is explored. The question of who the company can go after for infringement, be it the reverse engineering programmer, or the college student sharing such information on her homepage, is also examined. Finally, this paper examines the moral issues involved when consumers hack these items.

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of corporate sustainability. It examines why achieving sustainability is becoming an increasingly vital issue for society and organisations, defines sustainability and then outlines a set of phases through which organisations can move to achieve increasing levels of sustainability. Case studies are presented of organisations at various phases indicating the benefits, for the organisation and its stakeholders, which can be made at each phase. Finally the paper argues that there is a marked contrast between the two competing philosophies of neo-conservatism (economic rationalism) and the emerging philosophy of sustainability. Management schools have been strongly influenced by economic rationalism, which underpins the traditional orthodoxies presented in such schools. Sustainability represents an urgent challenge for management schools to rethink these traditional orthodoxies and give sustainability a central place in the curriculum.

Multiple Regression Technique

Short-form versions of the Screening Test of Spanish Grammar (Toronto, 1973) and the Northwestern Syntax Screening Test (Lee, 1971) were devised for use with bilingual Latino children while preserving the original normative data. Application of a multiple regression technique to data collected on 60 lower social status Latino children (four years and six months to seven years and one month) from Spanish Harlem and Yonkers, New York, yielded a small but powerful set of predictor items from the Spanish and English tests. Clinicians may make rapid and accurate predictions of STSG or NSST total screening scores from administration of substantially shortened versions of the instruments. Case studies of Latino children from Chicago and Miami serve to cross-validate the procedure outside the New York metropolitan area.

Communication Needs

As the field of telepractice grows, perceived barriers to service delivery must be anticipated and addressed in order to provide appropriate service delivery to individuals who will benefit from this model. When applying telepractice to the field of AAC, additional barriers are encountered when clients with complex communication needs are unable to speak, often present with severe quadriplegia and are unable to position themselves or access the computer independently, and/or may have cognitive impairments and limited computer experience. Some access methods, such as eye gaze, can also present technological challenges in the telepractice environment. These barriers can be overcome, and telepractice is not only practical and effective, but often a preferred means of service delivery for persons with complex communication needs.
