Stakeholders and Business Strategy: A Role-Play Negotiation Themed Exercise

Consideration of the interests of stakeholders as well as the potential impact of stakeholders on company decisions provides critical insight into dimensions of strategic decision making that may be overlooked using traditional strategy frameworks. Using a case based on a manufacturing company’s deliberation of a decision to send offshore the manufacturing of its core products, this exercise exposes students to a variety of stakeholder perspectives through a role-play negotiationthemed exercise. Students adopt the roles of top management, labor representative, local supplier, customer representative, city manager, environmental activist, and shareholder representative. The negotiation activity is designed to raise student awareness of the importance of stakeholder analysis in the strategic decision-making process

Creating an Experiential Learning Based Multi-Disciplinary Program

For many years, curriculum development has considered learning outcomes at the program level largely via learning outcomes at the course level. Some programs have modified their designs to use different structures such as condensed courses or project based learning. Recently, there has been an increased interest in experiential learning as a way to facilitate student acquisition of real-world applicable capabilities while enhancing student learning of ‘soft skills’ such as professionalism, communication, and team management. Historically, such engagement including complexities of real-world problems has been accomplished through internships, co-op, capstone courses, or project based learning. In this paper we present an innovative model for experiential curriculum design based on skill requirements and learning outcomes derived from industry needs combined with technology enabled learning. The curriculum has been designed in a highly modular approach to ensure flexibility in student learning pathways to meet the requirements of the work related learning projects that are integrated as part of the program design. The conceptual model of this approach to curriculum design will be presented through a case study of the development of the informatics program at UOIT. Areas of caution are explored to identify recommendations for risk mitigation when developing a program utilizing this type of learning environment. In particular, student selection, technical infrastructure requirements, learning outcome measurement, faculty scheduling, and program management are considered

The Course of D-dimers as Fibrinolytic Products Generated During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

D-dimers are the expressed degradation products of the lysis of fibrin. Fibrin monomers may normally occur during routine cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB); therefore, fibrinolysis could play a protective role. Serum D-dimer levels were observed at six events associated with routine CPB. An expected patient D-dimer level while heparinized would be <0.5 ug/ml showing that fibrin is not being formed. The majority of elevated D-dimer levels came at the termination of CPB when only one of twenty patients investigated showed a minimal DD level of 8.0 ug/ml at termination of CPB. Even

Fibrin monomers may normally occur during routine cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB); therefore, fibrinolysis could play a protective role. Serum D-dimer levels were observed at six events associated with routine CPB. An expected patient D-dimer level while heparinized would be <0.5 mcg/ml showing that fibrin is not being formed. The majority of elevated D-dimer levels came at the termination of CPB when only one of twenty patients investigated showed a minimal D-dimer level of 8.0 ug/ml at termination of CPB. Table
