Gender and Negotiation
The original premise of this research paper was to look at patterns of male dominance inherent in today's society repeatedly reproducing themselves to undermine a woman's seat at the negotiations table. After a thorough review of multiple resources including books on negotiation, women and leadership, women and negotiation, and an online review of negotiation gender research and gender stereotypes, my findings took a different turn. In order to answer how a woman can get to the negotiations table, I had to find out why she was having trouble getting there in the first place. It is the implications of everyday stereotypes that affect women's roles in negotiations. These stereotypes can be loosely organized into three major categories: opinions of acceptable workplace behavior and femininity, suitable articulation, and societal roles. These assumptions cause a cyclical pattern of diminished expectations of women in the workforce and particularly in negotiations. This paper will provide a background on gender in negotiations, the negotiation style preferred today, and stereotypes. It will also discuss each of the three categories of these stereotypes and their implications and offer solutions to overcoming these stereotypes.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Should the U.S. Army Implement a 401(K) Savings and Investment Program to Improve Recruitment and Retention of Soldiers?
"This study investigates the worth of a 401(k), savings and investment plan for the United States Army. My thesis statement is - Should the Army implement a 401(k) savings and investment program to improve recruitment and retention of soldiers? The methodology I used was to look at the proposed changes to the military retirement system since 1993. There have been plenty of initiatives to change and ultimately reduce the military retirement system. My research focused on savings and investment programs that are of importance to soldiers. There has been talk of implementing some type of plan but that was all it turned out to be - talk. Most recruits join for reasons other than money or some type of monetary payoff. Most join for the purpose of education, to learn a job skill, to travel or for patriotic reasons. I determined that most soldiers choose to leave the Army because of low base pay, reduced quality of life and increased amount of family separation. What is interesting to note here is that the category of retirement benefits was growing significantly as a reason for soldiers leaving the military. I wanted to find out if there is a benefit to the Army in implementing a 401(k) program. I determined that there would be no additional duties for the Army personnel department in implementing a 401(k). The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board would implement and administer the 401(k) and I estimate that only 12 percent would take advantage of the program. Today, IRA's are the only instruments soldiers can use for tax-deferred savings. Ultimately, my research determined that the lack of a 401(k) program, as a single entity, has not caused the current decline in recruitment or retention in the Army. If a 401(k) program would be implemented today, it would not change the recruitment or retention rates of the Army. Increasing the current retirement benefits program and implementing a 401(k) will improve recruitment and retention.

The Action Officer's Guide to Developing a Negotiation Skill Set
A shortfall has been discovered in the deliberate development of Airmen. New Pentagon Action Officer's (AOs) quickly find themselves in need of a negotiations skill set as they are thrust into the "beltway" environment, where one building contains 20,000+ staff officers all trying to handle their hot issues. This is especially vital in an era of dwindling defense budgets. Although the USAF has begun to recognize the need for this training and (SAF/GCD and A1D) recently created the Air Force Negotiations Center of Excellence and the "Institutional Competencies List." These two efforts are a big leap forward, but will require time to fully integrate into the AF professional development system. This time gap until full incorporation leaves a generation of military officers without some requisite negotiation skills. To fill this critical skills void, a primer was developed. It presents the critical, basic steps to aid new AOs in fulfilling their duties. First, it must be clear that negotiation is not a 4 letter word. Negotiations are, in fact, the path to agreement on an issue where all parties involved can choose to either say "no," or choose to develop a mutually beneficial resolution. Developing the negotiating skill set requires the AO to determine who they are. Negotiating predispositions may be revealed through assessment tools, such as the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument or with other tools such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Once personal preferences are established, the next step is learning to communicate to influence. This ability involves both effective listening and speaking skills which includes the ability to frame and re-frame a discussion as well as detect and respond to non-verbal communications. The final step to developing the tools required for a negotiation skill set is to understand the military conflict handling mode. This is a unique combination of assertiveness andcooperativeness.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

A Decision Support Tool for Thrift Savings Plan Investors
The Thrift Savings Plan is the defined contribution retirement plan for federal government employees. It is one of the largest retirement plans in the United States. The plan offers five different investment options: two funds concentrate on government securities and corporate bonds, two funds span the United States stock market, and one fund focuses on international stocks. These funds give investors the opportunity to diversify among a wide range of securities. This thesis examines the funds offered by the plan and creates a portfolio selection tool that uses investor inputs. The tool uses three mathematical models: optimization, based on Markowitz's (1952) Modern Portfolio Theory; simulation, based on the combination of optimization results and investor profiles; and selection, based on the simulation results and investor preferences. Results are presented for four investors. Other investors can use these results to gain insight, but the greatest benefit is derived from individual implementation. The tool requires only a few user inputs, and it can be operated without any external assistance. The research has further found that one investment option should not be part of any portfolio, and some portfolios can be risky to individuals for differing reasons.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Privatization in Place and the Base Closure Community
This thesis studies the experience of the local community during the privatization in place of Newark Air Force Base (NAFB), Ohio. Licking County faced the loss of its largest employer after the 1993 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC), a five-year commission established by President George Bush as a measure to cut national defense spending after the Cold War's end, recommended closing the Air Force repair facility. Licking County leaders sought help from elected officials to have the Air Force implement a plan that would keep the NAFB workload in place under the auspices of private industry-privatization in place. In its base closure recommendation, the BRAC gave the Air Force flexibility to craft a privatization in place plan. But the Air Force did not know how much the plan would cost or if it was in the best interests of national defense.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Downside Risk Optimization of the Thrift Savings Plan Lifecycle Fund Portfolios
The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), the defined benefit contribution plan for the US Government, introduced the asset allocation Lifecycle (L) Funds in August 2005. These funds seek to minimize risk and maximize expected portfolio return via mean-variance optimization (MVO). The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and examine the efficiency of the TSP L Funds and create alternative L Fund portfolios via downside risk optimization (DRO). Whereas MVO minimizes the portfolio variance (standard deviation), DRO seeks to minimize the risk below an investor's minimal acceptable return in the market, defined as the Co-Lower Partial Moment (CLPM). The research team compares the TSP and DRO (CLPM) L Fund expected portfolio values at retirement for three typical investors. The expected portfolio values are computed using @Risk software via Monte Carlo simulation of TSP individual fund monthly returns, the L Fund quarterly target allocations, and various investor inputs. The quantitative results and analysis of this evaluation determined that TSP participants realize higher expected portfolio values at retirement by investing into a DRO (CLPM) L Fund versus any of the TSP L Funds. To validate the findings, this thesis compares an investment stream in the L Funds from August 2005 through December 2009.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Should the U.S. Army Implement a 401(K) Savings and Investment Program to Improve Recruitment and Retention of Soldiers?
"This study investigates the worth of a 401(k), savings and investment plan for the United States Army. My thesis statement is - Should the Army implement a 401(k) savings and investment program to improve recruitment and retention of soldiers? The methodology I used was to look at the proposed changes to the military retirement system since 1993. There have been plenty of initiatives to change and ultimately reduce the military retirement system. My research focused on savings and investment programs that are of importance to soldiers. There has been talk of implementing some type of plan but that was all it turned out to be - talk. Most recruits join for reasons other than money or some type of monetary payoff. Most join for the purpose of education, to learn a job skill, to travel or for patriotic reasons. I determined that most soldiers choose to leave the Army because of low base pay, reduced quality of life and increased amount of family separation. What is interesting to note here is that the category of retirement benefits was growing significantly as a reason for soldiers leaving the military. I wanted to find out if there is a benefit to the Army in implementing a 401(k) program. I determined that there would be no additional duties for the Army personnel department in implementing a 401(k). The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board would implement and administer the 401(k) and I estimate that only 12 percent would take advantage of the program. Today, IRA's are the only instruments soldiers can use for tax-deferred savings. Ultimately, my research determined that the lack of a 401(k) program, as a single entity, has not caused the current decline in recruitment or retention in the Army. If a 401(k) program would be implemented today, it would not change the recruitment or retention rates of the Army. Increasing the current retirement benefits program and implementing a 401(k) will improve recruitment and retention.

Gender and Negotiation
The original premise of this research paper was to look at patterns of male dominance inherent in today's society repeatedly reproducing themselves to undermine a woman's seat at the negotiations table. After a thorough review of multiple resources including books on negotiation, women and leadership, women and negotiation, and an online review of negotiation gender research and gender stereotypes, my findings took a different turn. In order to answer how a woman can get to the negotiations table, I had to find out why she was having trouble getting there in the first place. It is the implications of everyday stereotypes that affect women's roles in negotiations. These stereotypes can be loosely organized into three major categories: opinions of acceptable workplace behavior and femininity, suitable articulation, and societal roles. These assumptions cause a cyclical pattern of diminished expectations of women in the workforce and particularly in negotiations. This paper will provide a background on gender in negotiations, the negotiation style preferred today, and stereotypes. It will also discuss each of the three categories of these stereotypes and their implications and offer solutions to overcoming these stereotypes.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
