This study, by means of theoretical inquiry and practical verification, investigates the following five topics: how an excellent principal practices his education concepts, how an excellent principal creates campus ambiance, how an excellent principal develops distinguishing school features, how an excellent principal achieves excellent school performances, and what suggestions an excellent principal offers on running a school. We try to find out excellent principals’ leading actions in the practice of education concepts, the creation of campus ambiance, the development of school features, and the achievement of school performances. We also offer concrete opinions and suggestions on running a school to incumbent and newly-appointed principals.
The main research method in this study is “profound interview”, and the study objects are three junior high school principals who received the Excellent Principal Award from the Ministry of Education. Questionnaires filled in by the directors, teachers, students, and parents of these three junior high schools are also used to collect information about the three excellent principals. We try to understand these principals’ courses in running a school. We also try to find out how they practice their education concepts, how they create campus ambiance, how they develop distinguishing school features, and how they achieve excellent school performances.
My study has conclusions as follows:
1. The practice of education concepts: An excellent principal insists on his education concepts. He creates new values for leadership. He promotes the whole-person development of students and the permanent running of the school. He achieves excellent school performances.
2. The creation of campus ambiance: An excellent principal is a role model. He encourages and cares for teachers, students, and students’ parents. He communicates with rules, reasons, and love. He enthusiastically creates a warm and friendly campus.
3. The development of distinguishing school features: An excellent principal knows well about the ecology, the conditions, the cultural resources, and the human resources of his school. He attentively develops a high quality school with a creative environment and excellent school spirit.
4. The achievement of school performances: An excellent principal never stops learning, and he also encourages his colleagues to keep learning. He keeps his education promises and runs his school attentively. He keeps his school changing and makes it become better and better. He has great influence over others.
5. An excellent principle always sticks to his ideals and creates new values. He is versatile because of diversity. He turns inferiority to superiority. The distinguishing features of his school makes his school a high quality school. His hard work makes his school eminent. His example teaching widely influences the school teachers and students. His enthusiasm enkindles other people’s enthusiasm.
Here are some suggestions of my study:
1. The practice of education concepts: Running a school, a principal has to promote actions with education concepts. His education concepts should be concrete, precise, and feasible so that he can run a school effectively and achieve excellent school performances.
2. The creation of campus ambiance: A principal should be able to mold the school culture and create harmonious campus relationship. He should be a cheerleader and create organic campus ambiance. He should do his best to build a friendly and warm campus.
3. The development of distinguishing school features: A principal should be a role model to bring about the creativity and enthusiasm of his colleagues. He should improve the teaching environment and create values. He should care for teachers and students in all aspects. He should make his school eminent and distinctive, fulfilling his ideal education dreams.
4. The achievement of school performances: A principal should be a full-time principal. He should have vision, enthusiasm, a sense of responsibility, and high morality to lead the school administrative team to run the school well and to achieve excellent school performances.
The purpose of this study is to offer “follower models” for incumbent principals and newly-appointed principals. We hope that the models will transfer, change, and broaden their influence and help create more excellent principals. In this case, these excellent principals will promote excellent school performances, make their schools become high quality schools and benefit more students.

Excellent leadership in Public Relations: A question of experience and the PR practitionerOldenbanning, Roelof 01 January 2013 (has links)
To better understand excellent leadership in public relations (PR) of developing and experienced PR practitioners, this study focuses on the important qualities and dimensions of excellent leadership practitioners. This study continues on the work of Meng, Berger, Gower, and Heyman (2012) in their attempt to advance understanding of leadership in the PR field.
According to the study's participants (N = 72): strategic decision-making capability, problem-solving ability, and communication knowledge and expertise are the three most important qualities of excellent leadership. Moreover, respondents rated that communication skills training, individual initiative and desire, and on-the-job experiences lead to excellent PR leadership. About half of the respondents indicated that PR leadership differs in three ways from leadership in other fields: ability to strategically construct messages, possession of comprehensive vision of how communication connects an organization to its publics in the larger social system, and the possession of an unwavering belief in the importance of honest and ethical organization communications and actions.
Minimal differences between the importance levels of excellent PR leadership variables are noted; all the excellent PR leadership variables clustered around the "very important" score. It is presumed that one's stance toward excellent PR leadership reflects the current deficiency or the lack of experience one is experiencing in the realm of PR leadership.

A study of the presentation of women in the novels of Barbara PymBlair, Cairn Fiona 11 1900 (has links)
In this dissertation I attempt an evaluation of Barbara Pym as a feminist writer. I study
the central protagonists in Pym's twelve novels in the context of British society in the
1950s, 1960s and 1970s. I have drawn on feminist critical paradigms in my reading of
Pym's novels in order to highlight my insights into her women characters.
Chapter One examines Pym 's use of comedy and subversion in relation to her main
protagonists.
Chapter Two explores the 'Excellent Woman' figure in Pym's fiction and the issue of
spinsterhood.
Chapter Three scrutinises Pym's use of satire and tragedy in relation to her heroines.
Chapter Four investigates the emergence of the 'fallen' and 'formidable' women figures in
Pym's novels, and analyses the ageing spinster figure.
My conclusion is that Barbara Pym is a humanist feminist of some importance, who
succeeds in illuminating her heroines' struggles against patriarchy in the context of a
changing British society. / English Studies / M.A. (English)

This study explores four research questions: 1. How do these principals devise their plans of school affairs development and their school vision? 2. What are the main leading concepts of these principals and how do these principals achieve their goals with their staff? 3. How do these principals encourage good interaction among the school administration, the Teachers Association, and the Parents Association? 4. What are the employment concepts of these principals?
The in-depth interviews are used as the research method in this study. Six principals are interviewed. Their junior high schools are evaluated as excellent in school affairs. In addition, an open questionnaire devised by me is answered by one office director, one section chief, one teacher, and one parent of each school. Through their observation of their principal’s leadership, they filled out the questionnaires. The conclusions are as in the following:
1. These principals see far and think big. Their school visions and school development goals are very clear. They see everything in three directions: the short-term, mid-term and long-term.

The suggestions of this study are as in the following:
1. The principal evaluation system and the support system of “the master principal” should be established to help principals’ professional development.
2. Good leadership effects come from correct leadership concepts. Principals can try to improve their visions, characters, personality, learning, and influences.
3. Principals should try hard to be the fifth-grade leaders. In addition to their professional concepts, they should listen to and accept opinions from staff and parents with modest attitude.
4. Principals should employ the right person for the right position. They should always try their best and follow their conscience.

Explorations in the Classification of Vertices as Good or Bad.Jackson, Eugenie Marie 01 May 2001 (has links) (PDF)
For a graph G, a set S is a dominating set if every vertex in V-S has a neighbor in S. A vertex contained in some minimum dominating set is called good; otherwise it is bad. A graph G has g(G) good vertices and b(G) bad vertices. The relationship between the order of G and g(G) assigns the graph to one of four classes.
Our results include a method of classifying caterpillars. Further, we develop realizability conditions for a graph G given a triple of nonnegative integers representing the domination number of γ(G), g(G), and b(G), respectively, and provide constructions of graphs meeting those conditions. We define the goodness index of a vertex v in a graph G as the ratio of distinct γ(G)-sets containing v to the total number of γ(G)-sets, and provide formulas that yield the goodness index of any vertex in a given path.

Developing a framework for public relations practice : a study of the financial services sector in GhanaAnani-Bossman, Albert 06 1900 (has links)
The goal of the study was to develop a framework for public relations practice in the financial services sector. The study was based on four key objectives. In line with the first objective, chapters 2 and 3 reviewed how public relations was conceptualised and practiced by reviewing literature. Three worldviews, the North American, the European and African worldviews, were discussed by looking at their similarities and differences. The literature also reviewed the development of public relations from these three perspectives. Literature revealed that different models influence practices in different cultural settings and that effective PR practice cannot be premised on a single model.
Objectives 2, 3 and 4 empirically analysed the conceptualisation and practice of public relations in terms of the purpose (models) and roles (activities). The study employed the one-on-one interview technique to gauge the views of communication managers in the financial services sector. The result of the study was discussed and analysed in chapter 5. Findings showed that PR was not strategic and mostly had a marketing orientation. Significantly, most of the communication managers had marketing backgrounds, which invariably affected their concept and practice of public relations. Another key finding was that public relations measurement and evaluation was based on outputs and outtakes more than outcomes. Moreover, methods used were mostly unscientific in nature. PR strategies were based on audience satisfaction surveys rather than perception and attitudinal research. Practitioners are not part of the dominant coalition. The findings showed that practitioners faced a number of challenges that compromised the effectiveness of their work, including management’s value and perception of their work, lack of in-depth knowledge about the profession itself, budgetary constraints and inability to sometimes influence decisions because of their position in the organisational structure.
The findings of the study, together with findings in the literature, were used to develop a framework for effective PR practice in the sector. The framework differs in certain aspects from some of the recommendations made by literature for excellent public relations practice. The framework also incorporates recommendations aligning to the reality of public relations practice within the Ghanaian cultural and political environment. / Communication Science / D. Litt. et Phil.(Communication)
