The innovative approach to serving diverse learners had an initial focus on business education programs, which would lead to the formation of what is now the DeVoe School of Business, one of the Midwest’s largest and most influential business schools. The DeVoe School of Business has served learners through providing a faith-based business education which sharpens skills, clarifies reasoning, and helps students to further define personal and professional calling. Today, the DeVoe School of Business delivers education onsite at 16 regional education centers and online nationwide to thousands of learners across the landscape of the marketplace. With an alumni base numbering in the tens of thousands, the DeVoe School of Business has influenced the leadership of many business leaders throughout the nation. A hallmark of the DeVoe School of Business from its inception is the commitment to reach learners by taking the educational experience to them, from manufacturing plant floors to office buildings. This inaugural edition of The DeVoe Report is no different. We are continuing to find new ways to take education directly into the marketplace to increase business professionals’ access to valuable learning. It is my hope that you find the content of this reader helpful to your daily work. I am grateful to the many business leaders and industry experts who have partnered with us to bring this publication together. We look forward to sharing future editions with you.

  • Second Time Moms & the Truth About Parenting

    Second Time Moms & the Truth About Parenting

    Second Time Moms & The Truth About Parenting Summary Why does our case deserve an award? In the US, and globally, every diaper brand obsesses about the emotion and joy experienced by new parents. Luvs took the brave decision to focus exclusively on an audience that nobody was talking to: second time moms. Planning made Luvs the official diaper brand of experienced moms. The depth of insights Planning uncovered about this target led to creative work that did a very rare thing for the diaper category: it was funny, entertaining and sparked a record amount of debate. For the first time these moms felt that someone was finally standing up for them and Luvs was applauded for not being afraid to show motherhood in a more realistic way. And in doing so, we achieved the highest volume and value sales in the brand’s history. 2 Luvs: A Challenger Facing A Challenge Luvs is a value priced diaper brand that ranks a distant fourth in terms of value share within the US diaper category at 8.9%. Pampers and Huggies are both premium priced diapers that make up most of the category, with value share at 31, and 41 respectively. Private Label is the third biggest player with 19% value share. We needed to generate awareness to drive trial for Luvs in order to grow the brand, but a few things stood in our way. Low Share Of Voice Huggies spends $54 million on advertising and Pampers spends $48 million. In comparison, Luvs spends only $9 million in media support. So the two dominant diaper brands outspend us 9 to 1, making our goal of increased awareness very challenging.
  • Perspectives on Ethical Leadership: an Overview Drs Ir Sophia Viet MTD

    Perspectives on Ethical Leadership: an Overview Drs Ir Sophia Viet MTD

    Perspectives on ethical leadership: an overview drs ir Sophia Viet MTD Paper submitted to the International Congress on Public and Political Leadership 2016 Draft version. Do not site or quote without the author’s permission Abstract There is a growing scientific interest in ethical leadership of organizations as public confidence in organizational leaders continues to decline. Among scholarly communities there is considerable disagreement on the appropriate way to conceptualize, define and study ethical leadership. This disagreement is partly due to the ontological and epistemological differences between the scholarly communities, resulting in different views of organizations, on the role of organizational leadership in general, and on ethical leadership of organizations in particular. Because of the differences in their ontological and epistemological assumptions scholars endlessly debate the concept of ethical leadership. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the academic concepts of ethical leadership by classifying these concepts in terms of their ontological and epistemological assumptions and views of organizations into the modern, symbolic and the critical perspectives of postmodernism and communitarianism. Each category represents a particular set of perspectives on organizations, business ethics, and ethical leadership. The overview can serve as a guide to decode the academic debate and to determine the positions of the scholars participating in the debate. In addition it can serve as a multi-perspective-framework to study lay concepts of ethical leadership of (executive) directors of contemporary organizations. In this article the overview serves as a guide of how to classify some of the most common concepts in the debate on ethical leadership. Introduction There is a growing scientific interest in ethical leadership of organizations as public confidence in organizational leaders continues to decline.
  • Front-Back Model

    Front-Back Model

    THE FRONT-BACK MODEL: HOW DOES IT WORK? JAY GALBRAITH November 2005 The front-back structure, when it works, rests on three strong legs. First, there is a strong front-end focused on customer relationships, shopper insights and mastery of channels. Second, there is a strong global back-end based on products and brands, user insights and a global product development process. Less obvious and equally essential is strong leadership – the third leg linking the front and the back. Hewlett-Packard lags IBM because the company has not had the strong leadership to make the front-end an equal partner to the product lines. Carly Fiorina tried to be the link by herself, despite Board requests for a COO. Similarly when Procter & Gamble went to its Organization 2005, Jager tried to bridge the GBU-MDO gap by himself. He failed. He supported the GBUs, increased R&D spending and the MDOs were overwhelmed with new product launches. When Lafley took over, he immediately expanded top management capacity by adding a Vice-Chairman in charge of the MDOs. Driven in part by succession issues, Lafley has created four Vice-Chairmen in charge of clusters of GBUs (15 in total) and MDOs (7 in total). Jim Kilts, who is leading the P&G-Gillette integration, is the fifth Vice-Chairman. The result is sufficient enterprise management capacity to link the front and the back. The means by which this leadership is exercised is through the management processes and personal networks. The management processes are necessary because the front-back model is an interdependent system of profit centers.

They had spent 18 months developing P&G’s first compact laundry detergent for the European market, and now, as they were finalizing the details of a meticulously planned pan-European launch, they learned that Unilever was about to launch a similar product in France—two months ahead of P&G. Meyer, European Regional Vice President for laundry products, and his team were brainstorming responses to their longtime rival’s pricing tactics, package sizes, and a premium-niche marketing strategy, all of which differed significantly from P&G’s European plan. As the train sped towards Paris, they debated whether to change their approach to the French market to meet Unilever’s challenge, or continue with their original intention to implement a consistent Europe-wide strategy.

    Making Business Virtuous

    Making Business Virtuous MAKING BUSINESS VIRTUOUS Jay Hein & Gary Wilkinson, Ph. D. 10/26/2015 Abstract This paper speaks to the growing disenchantment of capitalism and introduces virtuous business as the only antidote capable of restoring trust in the free market system. What is recognized is that now, more than ever, there is need for a clear distinction between values-neutral capitalism and virtuous business. Two case studies are exampled. The first showcases how The Andersons, Inc. maintains a culture of ethical decision making, even amidst growth through acquisitions. The second case covers Tyco, and how new leadership approached the rebuilding of company culture following massive fraud. Finally, the paper posits that the objective of becoming or remaining a virtuous business is the overarching goal for a business. It is always a work-in-progress, an aim never totally achieved; but, an organization that steadfastly strives to be virtuous gains the greatest opportunity for longevity and provides the greatest benefit to society.

    2.2.9. Procter & Gamble

    1 Dirty recyclables of a Procter & Gamble brand Credit: Les Stone P&G has made no commitments regarding collection, and neither calls for legislation in this area nor mentions support for DRS. It high- lights different targets on its US environmental sustainability webpage6 than on its UK equivalent.7 At the time of writing, there was no reference to the development of reuse-and-refill delivery models for P&G products on their UK site;8 on its US site, however, the company highlights its 2019 participation in test programmes with TerraCycle’s Loop project in New York and Paris,9 in which its brands Pantene, Gillette and Venus were included.10 When it comes to reduction of virgin-plastic use, P&G states alternative materials will only be used ‘when it makes sense’, and that lightweighting, increasing recycled content and moving towards more concentrated products will take priority.11 However, this does not appear to involve an absolute reduction in the total number of single-use plastic-packaging units. It is also unclear what instances the company will consider using alternative materials in, and which types of materials. In another document on the company’s brand criteria for 2030, it states it will achieve ‘a meaningful increase in responsibly-sourced bio-based, or recycled or more resource efficient materi- als’;12 however, this commitment is nebulous because it does not include an actual target, timeframe or more detail on what ‘responsi- bly-sourced’ means. When it comes to minimum recycled content, P&G talks about ‘continuously innovating with recycled plastic’,13 and, according to As You Sow, has a recycled-content target of 8% for 2025.14 This is a very modest increase – from 6.3% in 2018.
