Agency Pods
Agency Pods represent a revolutionary shift in organisational structure. For more than a century, businesses have unknowingly held themselves back by traditionally organising their teams by job function. While it might sound sensible, this organisational structure places strict limits on the ability for organisations to grow, innovate, and acquire talent. Enter the Agency Pod; a new way to organise employees that breaks from the traditional constraints of function-based set ups. With this innovative new industry structure, employees are aligned into small, cross-functional teams, or Pods, that act as internal agencies responsible for specific clients every need. This contrasts the traditional single function model, where departments handle only small parts of client or project deliverables, creating a highly collaborative, nimble, and laser focused environment which allows organisations of all kinds to become much more responsive to client requests and changing market conditions. As this new business organisational structure takes the corporate world by storm, leading System Integrators and Service Providers globally have either already moved to the pod model or are hastily doing so. In Agency Pods: The Definitive Guide, Bhatti and Biddiscombe blow the lid off one of the most closely guarded secrets in business consulting by explaining how to implement it, how to measure it, and what success looks like.

An Investigation of Prioritizing Research Topics in Professional Communication
This research explored which areas and methods of research need to be identified and developed to most effectively communicate business and technical information. The research was sparked by the current literature which indicates that a gap exists between academicians, who do most of the research, and practitioners, who utilize the research results. This effort was intended to address possible causes of this problem by establishing the importance of nine research topic areas, six data collection methods/sources, and three data analysis methods for both academicians and researchers and other demographic characteristics. The research concludes that the participants generally agreed on which factors were most important. Findings indicated that researchers and practitioners tended to agree on data analysis methods and data collection methods/sources but did show some disagreement on research topic areas. The research also uncovered evidence that demographic characteristics such as level of degree, area of degree, job, and English as a first language may influence which factors are considered to be most important to the professional communication process.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Cross-Cultural Negotiations
In its basic form, negotiation is a method of conflict resolution (5:7). It is a problem-solving process in which two or more parties attempt to resolve their disagreement or conflict in a manner, and through a process, that is mutually agreeable (8: xiii). Whereas the general concept of negotiation is easy enough to understand, in practice it can be an extremely difficult proposition. Opposing views about what is right and wrong, disagreement on what is fair and equitable, understanding each other's message and form of communication, and even the procedures that will be used to conduct negotiations are but a few of the hurdles that negotiators will encounter.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Members must be aware of the direction senior leaders would have their organization go. They must also be aware of the issues these leaders consider most important. Unfortunately, this is not currently the state in the Air Force. Members are generally unaware of their leaders' vision and are similarly ignorant of key issues. This is not the fault of the members. These deficits stem from shortcomings in the Air Force's communication plan. Communication plays a pivotal role in building shared vision.
