The links to the left will bring you to a list of the the current syllabi for courses currently taught in the Brennan School of Business.

Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 708-524-6810.
Since its founding, the Brennan School of Business has insured that
all its academic programs provide students with an understanding of the concepts and theories of
ethical decision making as well as numerous opportunities to practice and apply those concepts
during their study. This is done through a variety of curricular and co-curricular programs,
ranging from case study analyses and service learning courses to student-sponsored lectures and off
campus volunteer programs. The first endowed chair in the Brennan School of Business was designated
by its donors to be the Christopher Chair in Business Ethics. This chair has enabled the business
program to place an ever increasing focus on ethical business practices through annual lectures,
workshops and other faculty and student initiatives which ensure that ethics are taught and
practiced in every part of the curriculum.
Realizing that students who matriculate in the Brennan School of
Business must conduct themselves in accordance with the highest standards of academic honesty and
integrity during their course of study, the following academic integrity policy has been developed
to guide their actions.
The following examples of plagiarism are provided for understanding and clarity:
Inappropriate attribution of sources
• Use of quotation marks, but failure to provide a citation for the material.
• Providing a citation for material, but failure to use quotation marks for material that
appears in others' work. Quotation marks should be used when three or more consecutive words are
taken directly from others' work. Exceptions are made for commonly used phrases such as "triple
bottom line" or "corporate social responsibility".
Paraphrasing others' work without providing a citation to that work
• Paraphrasing is presenting others' ideas or thoughts but doing so entirely in one's
own words. Attribution must always be given in a citation at the end of the paragraph, even if the
name of the author/s is included in the body of the text.
Direct plagiarism
• This entails using others' material word-for-word and presenting it as one's own work
without any indication that the words are those of another.
• Simply changing one or two words or phrases does not materially change the character of
this form of plagiarism, which is the most serious.
Whatever the assignment, it must be clear that the student is using the quoted or paraphrased
material in support of his or her own ideas and not taking credit for the quoted/paraphrased
Cheating entails the use of unauthorized or prohibited aids in accomplishing assigned academic
tasks. Obtaining unauthorized help on examinations, using prohibited notes on closed-note
examinations, and depending on others for the writing of essays or the creation of other assigned
work are all forms of cheating. A student who assists another in cheating will be held to the same
Academic dishonesty may also include other acts intended to misrepresent the authorship of
academic work or to undermine the integrity of the classroom or of grades assigned for academic
work. Deliberate acts threatening the integrity of library materials or the smooth operation of
laboratories are among possible acts of academic dishonesty.
Whenever a sanction is imposed, regardless of its severity, the instructor will send written
notification to the dean of the Brennan School of Business. The dean will note whether a student
has committed multiple violations of the academic integrity policy over time, and in such cases the
dean may impose further sanctions, including suspension or expulsion from the university.
Any disagreement with regard to academic procedures, including cases of alleged violation of
academic integrity policies and final grades, should first be raised with the instructor. If this
does not settle the matter satisfactorily, it should be taken up with the dean of the Brennan
School of Business. If the issue is not resolved, the student has the right to present the issue in
writing to the Curriculum Committee of the Brennan School of Business, which is composed of all
full-time faculty members. To do this, the student must provide a written statement of the issue to
the dean, who will then place it on the agenda for the Curriculum Committee to review. The faculty
member involved in the appeal may also choose to present a written statement. The decision of the
Curriculum Committee will be provided in writing to the student. All appeals must be made before
the last day of the semester following the term in which the disputed issue arose.
The following grades and their grade-point
equivalents are recorded in the graduate programs:
The grade of Incomplete (I) may be given at
the discretion of the instructor for work of acceptable quality that is unfinished at the close of
the term due to serious illness or other extraordinary unforeseen circumstances. A student must
request this grade from the instructor. In consultation, the student and instructor will set up a
plan of completion that will allow the student to resolve the Incomplete by the end of the
following term. At that time, the instructor will report a grade within the ordinary range of
scholarship, a grade of "F" or a grade of "No Credit." No more than six hours of Incomplete grades
may be accumulated at one time. Students with six hours of Incomplete grades will be restricted
from further registration until incomplete course work is resolved.
Students are subject to the degree requirements in effect when they matriculate, which is the
first semester they attend classes. Students may elect to be subject to any subsequent changes in
requirements. A degree may be conferred upon a candidate who has met the following
• Satisfactory completion of all required hours of credit, taking into consideration course
waivers allowed and transfer credits accepted;
•Attainment of a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0;
• Submission of an application for graduation to the Office of the Registrar; and
• Payment of all fees, including the graduation fee.
Students are expected to complete their
graduate degree within a six-year time frame and they are encouraged to meet with their academic
advisor for assistance in developing a degree completion plan. Those requiring an extended period
of study must meet with the dean to structure a schedule of completion for their degree. Students
who wish to return after an absence of more than five years without reapplying as a new student
must obtain approval from the dean. Those permitted to return will be subject to the program
curriculum in effect at the time of their return.
A student is placed on probation if his or her
cumulative grade point average (GPA) falls below 3.0 after at least three courses. A student on
probation will be restricted to one course per semester until the cumulative GPA reaches a 3.0. If
a cumulative GPA of 3.0 has not been reached after the completion of two additional courses, the
student will be subject to dismissal. A student who has been dismissed must wait at least one
semester before reapplying for admission. Dominican University reserves the right to deny
registration to any student who, in the opinion of the administration, is not progressing
satisfactorily toward a degree or who, for other reasons, is deemed unsuitable for the program. For
purposes of this policy on probation and dismissal, only graduate business courses completed at
Dominican University will be considered in the calculation of the cumulative GPA.
All graduate students in the Brennan School of Business are encouraged to meet regularly with
their academic advisor, Assistant Dean Matt Quilty. Dean Quilty is available for in-person meetings
on the main campus as well as telephone conferences by appointment both during the day and
evenings, Monday through Friday.
While advising meetings are not mandatory for graduate students who remain in good academic
standing, they are nevertheless encouraged. Dean Quilty can provide assistance with selecting
courses for a particular semester and she can offer guidance regarding concentrations. Importantly,
he can confirm the specific course requirements for your degree.
Graduate programs at the Brennan School of Business provide students with flexibility in terms
of how many courses they take each semester. However, all students are expected to graduate within
six years from the time they start. Thus, it is important to develop an initial plan for the
completion of your degree and to review this plan periodically as you progress. Dean Quilty can
assist you in developing this plan by offering guidance on course sequencing and the semesters in
which particular elective courses will be offered.
Dean Quilty can be reached at
email@example.com or (708) 524-6507. His office is in Lewis

Hi: 11° Lo:7°
By Ian Dipple Monday 14 January 2013 Updated: 15/01 09:41
A FORMER warehouse has been turned into a new training centre for young people.
Midlands based Nova Training has opened the centre on Clive Road which will provide courses to upskill 16-to-18-year-olds long-term.
It will deliver apprenticeship programmes in motor vehicle, customer service, business administration, retail, warehousing and sales, as well as offering a Foundation Learning programme, giving young people skills and qualifications to progress to further education and employment.
The unit features three classrooms with IT and plasma screen televisions and a motor vehicle workshop for trainees to gain practical skills.The move will create between ten and 12 jobs.
Latest figures show there were 500 18 to 24-year-olds claiming jobseekers' allowance in Redditch during November, down from the previous month but almost double the number before the financial crisis hit in 2008.
David Bucknall, operations director at Nova Training, said: "We have already recruited five staff. Additional staff will be taken on as the provision develops.
"Building works have been completed, staff have been working in the local community and we are in the process of welcoming our first learners."
Nova Training is part of recruitment agency Staff Select Ltd which has more than ten years experience in supplying temporary and permanent staff across a wide range of job sectors.
The Redditch site is one of 15 Nova has across the region and has been secured on a three year lease with the help of borough based property agents John Truslove.
Director Ben Truslove said: "With skill levels being a big issue in the West Midlands this is vital work which Nova and Staff Select are undertaking. Their expansion is another boost for Redditch - every job created is so important given on-going unemployment figures."
Visit www.novatraining.co.uk, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call the centre on 01527 591048 for more information.

From potlucks to garage sales to a "Cardboard Animal Picnic," communities found amazing ways to revel, carouse, and come together on Neighborday. At the urging of GOOD, neighbors from around the globe convened to celebrate GOOD's new holiday on the last Saturday in April—32,000 neighbors from 23 countries, to be specific. Next year, we want to double that... and then double that, until legions across the globe are bonding in their 'hoods.
This video was made by and for the GOOD community. It's a "thank you" to everyone who participated this year, and a "fuck yeah" to everyone who is going to participate next year.
See you next April! And in the meantime, join us on Friday, May 24 for our GOOD Ideas live online chat about Neighborday.

I am rendering a simple line drawing (a line with some text in the middle) in a CALayer subclass via drawInContext(). I update this layer as the user is performing a gesture by calling setNeedsDisplay on it. The effect that I am seeing is what I might expect if there were no double buffering going on... i.e. I see parts of new rendering overlapping parts of old rendering. When I stop updating (complete the gesture) the system "catches up" and I always see the correct final result, but during the updates I see inconsistent results... This effect is not subtle and sometimes it is extreme... e.g. if I keep updating fast enough I can keep stale parts of the drawing on the screen for seconds while the new parts are drawing ahead...
I don't understand this at all. If Quartz is doing buffering then it seems that it is not blitting the result to the screen in its entirety or it is miscalculating the affected area.
Things I've tried:
1) I am disabling implicit animations and doing all of the drawing within a CATransaction
2) I am not making a mistake in my drawing... It's literally just two lines with some text in between... there is no way that I'm rendering the intermediate artifacts.
3) I have tried limiting the rate of updates by skipping most of them... but even at the lower rate I see artifacts until I stop updating and let the system catch up.
4) BTW, this happens identically in the simulator and on the device (iPad).
Is it necessary for me to draw into an offscreen buffer myself and copy it to the screen in its entirety? I thought that I had read that Quartz does this for me.
Update: As usual, after hours of banging my head against the wall I find the (partial) answer 5 minutes after posting the question. I realized that I was using a CATiledLayer in order to get my layer re-rendered on zoom. If I switch it back to a regular CALayer the glitches go away. So I guess what I am seeing artifacts of the separate tiles rendering. Now I am trying to figure out how to deal with this...

By Rawballz
Starring: Jennifer Aniston, Roselyn Sanchez & Eva Longoria
Jennifer's eyes closed into darkness as the gas began to take advantage of her body and mind. The reclining
dentist's chair was more than comfortable to receive the filling she needed. Her entire body slumped and her
left arm dangled off of the armrest.
"She's under." Dr. Sanchez announced.
Dr. Longoria rushed into the small examining room to witness this megastar fully unconscious and completely
Dr. Sanchez looked up at her. "Did you lock the front door and put the 'Out to Lunch' sign up?"
"Yes and yes. Everything is set."
Roselyn pushed the instrument tray to the side and out of the way. She then swiveled the chair around to be
able to gain full access to the sleeping sexpot.
"I always thought she was the most beautiful star out there." Eva stated as she walked up closely to her horizontal
"Look at these. These are $150 flip-flops she has on. Can you believe that?" Roselyn stated while removing one
and holding it up to get a closer look.
"She's also one of the most spoiled stars as well." Eva said with a giggle.
"She does have exquisite feet though."
Roselyn removed her other flip-flop and placed both of them carefully Continue reading

six figure salaries for community theater directors? And the theater organization has hot dog sales???
Those two "execs" take 2/3 of the $300k taken in by ticket sales!
Am I alone in thinking that the city needs someone to clean house?
Sooooo many heads will roll. Cushy jobs will be eliminated. Salaries will be brought back down to earth.
Forget the blue collar thefts... worry about the white collar theft!

'Lost generation' of China poised to lead the way
Publication Date : 29-10-2012
They had no childhood, no education, no family and, in the eyes of many, never felt happiness.
Aptly labelled China's "lost generation", they were young Chinese in their teens thrown into the decade-long turmoil of the Cultural Revolution that Mao Zedong unleashed in 1966.
Now, nearly five decades later, the reins of power will soon be passed to a select handful from this 50-something cohort, who will be led by Vice-President Xi Jinping, 59, and Vice-Premier Li Keqiang, 57.
The changing of the guard will take place at the Chinese Communist Party's crucial leadership meeting - the 18th Party Congress - which opens on November 8.
But the shadow of the Cultural Revolution will loom large in the lives of the new leaders and in the decisions they make, experts say.
Unlike President Hu Jintao, 69, and Premier Wen Jiabao, 70, who are slated to retire at the congress, Xi and Li belong to the generation most affected by Mao's call to rebel against all authority and tradition.
"The worst ones are those who were about 10 or 15 at the start of the Cultural Revolution," American author Paul Theroux cited an unnamed Chinese man as saying in his book, Riding The Iron Rooster. "They were robbed of everything... they are... very angry - angry with everyone."
Xi was 13 when Mao launched the Cultural Revolution in the name of building a new communist utopia. Li was only 11.
Among the strong contenders for top leadership posts next month, organisation chief Li Yuanchao was 16, Vice-Premier Wang Qishan, 18, and Guangdong party leader Wang Yang, 11.
Former Chongqing party chief Bo Xilai, who was in the running until his fall from grace earlier this year, was 17.
Most would have been Red Guards who, in those tumultuous years, were given free rein to attack - including torture - "capitalist roaders" and intellectuals in the name of eradicating bourgeois elements.
Many young Chinese saw their parents tortured and locked up on dubious charges. Some were even forced to denounce their family members in public. And as the winds blew according to Mao's whims, some of the tormentors became victims themselves.
Toiling in the countryside was one of their common rites of passage.
Xi and Wang Qishan, for instance, were sent to impoverished north-western Shaanxi province to become farmers.
The years spent in the countryside imbued in them some common traits, according to analysts.
One of these is greater empathy for those in the lowest tier of society.
There is also a dark side, said consultant Sidney Rittenberg, 90, who spent 35 years working alongside Chinese leaders including Mao and was locked up for most of the Cultural Revolution.
The lost generation, he told The Straits Times, has a distrust of great leaders and instead places "strong emphasis on stability, and fear of turmoil".
"They are reluctant to adopt even clearly necessary reforms, if they think the reforms might lead to turbulence and resistance to unified leadership," he said.
The formal education they never had is also likely to have an impact on their policies, decisions and styles.
Not having gone through school, where they sit in class learning with children of a similar age and following a proper syllabus, they are likely to have ideas that are less conformist than those of their predecessors like Hu, according to Cultural Revolution historian Yin Hongbiao.
"They went through the 'university of society'. They saw a great collision and confusion of ideas and reality," says the Peking University expert.
They are thus less likely to spout lines from Chinese classics the way Wen does.
"Instead, they are very good at chanting Mao slogans. Just look at Bo Xilai," said Professor Yin.
The scars from the Cultural Revolution will not fade.
As Xi himself told state broadcaster China Central Television in 2003: "In the past when we talked about beliefs, it was very abstract. I think the youth of my generation will be remembered for the fervour of the Red Guard era.
"But it was emotional. It was a mood. And when the ideals of the Cultural Revolution could not be realised, it proved an illusion."

Not just any turkey will have the opportunity to stay in a posh D.C. hotel, garner lots of media attention and be "pardoned" by the president today. To end up at the White House (and not on a plate), the lucky turkey and his alternate had to beat out more than 60 eligible fowl contenders.
The search for the perfect presidential turkeys began last July when a flock of 60 to 80 of turkey farmer John Burkel's poults hatched on his farm in Badger, Minn.
Burkel is the current chairman of the National Turkey Federation, which has presented a turkey to the president every year since 1947, when Truman was in office. As this year's chairman, Burkel will have the honor of presenting the National Thanksgiving Turkey to President Obama.
As you can imagine, training more than 60 poults at once is not easy, so in August, Burkel, his wife and five children culled the contenders down to 20. They moved the poults from one of their big turkey barns (which are as big as a football field) to a special garden shed in their backyard. That's when preparation for the annual White House ceremony really began.
National Thanksgiving Turkeys must be able to handle noise, camera flashes and the possibility of meeting two very important Portuguese Water Dogs. To prepare the poults for all the extra attention and stimuli, Burkel and his family took lots of photos, created lots of background noise in their shed and occasionally brought in the family dog to really stir things up.
"They listened to anything from Vivaldi to John Mayer," Burkel says with a laugh.
Burkel even tried to train his flock to gobble on command. Which, he laments, didn't go so well.
Alas, all 20 toms couldn't meet the president, so the Burkel family winnowed the contenders down to six. "The six picked themselves," Burkel says. "Once they were cut down to 20, you could see the ones that would let you pick them up without effort and were socialized the most."
When we spoke with Burkel earlier this month, he was still trying to choose his top two toms, but he was pretty certain he knew who they would be.
"The one who is the most socialized also happens to be the one with the brightest color and most character. The others haven't matured quite as fast."

Ogden, UT (Sports Network) - Led by Scott Bamforth with 18 points, the Weber State Wildcats handed a 65-57 defeat to the Eastern Washington Eagles in a Big Sky Conference battle at the Dee Events Center.
For the Wildcats (24-5, 18-2 Big Sky), Joel Bolomboy added 11 points and four blocked shots and Frank Otis pulled down 11 rebounds. Weber State will now enter the Big Sky Conference Tournament as the No. 2 seed and will face No. 7 seed Northern Arizona Thursday afternoon.
Tyler Harvey led the Eagles (10-21, 7-13) with 17 points and Venky Jois chipped in with 10 points and nine boards. Eastern Washington finished ninth in the conference and failed to qualify for the league tournament.
Both teams struggled from the field to open the contest. Weber State shot just 37.9 percent from the field, but did connect on 4-of-10 from 3-point range, as they took a 35-30 into intermission. Eastern Washington made only 36.7 percent of their field goal attempts but did hit on 3-of-10 from 3-point distance.
The Wildcats improved to 43.5 percent shooting after halftime, including 2- of-5 from 3-point range. The Eagles continued their shooting woes, making only 33.3 percent of their field goal tries and just 2-of-11 from beyond the 3- point arc.
Though it led for the entire second half, Weber State saw their advantage shrink to one, 51-50, with just over six minutes to play. The Wildcats responded with five straight points and the Eagles never got closer than three the rest of the way, as the hosts held on for the victory.
Weber State had the edge on the boards, 42-34, and outscored the Eagles at the free-throw line, 17-8.
Portland State fired football coach Nigel Burton on Wednesday after the Vikings struggled to a 3-9 season.
Kasey Kahne will continue to drive for Hendrick Motorsports through the 2018 Sprint Cup season, signing a three-year contract extension on Thursday.
The New Orleans Saints placed defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley on season-ending injured reserve Thursday.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have reportedly come to terms with Cuban power-hitting outfielder Yasmany Tomas on a six-year, $68.5 million contract.
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich missed Wednesday night's game against Indiana after undergoing a minor medical procedure.
The National Hockey League handed down a pair of suspensions on Thanksgiving, one to a member of an American-based club and one to a member of a Canadian franchise.

To mark IDC Herzliya's 20th anniversary, we spent a day following Prof. Uriel Reichman, IDC's founder and president, and Jonathan Davis, VP for External Relations, around its delightful campus.
More than 1,600 alumni and students of Brandeis University and others with ties to the institution have signed an online petition protesting pay to former university president Jehuda Reinharz.
Reinharz reportedly receives more than $600,000 a year in retirement pay and at least $800,000 a year from the Mandel Foundation, which he serves as president. The Boston Globe reported last month that Reinharz has earned at least $1.2 million for part-time advisory work since stepping down as president at the end of 2010.
The petition calls on the university's board of trustees to institute a policy of transparency regarding past, current, and future executive compensation, and to overhaul its compensation policies.
"We owe a great deal to the university, which taught us the tenets of social justice that continue to influence our lives and careers. We expect to see these values reflected in the decisions the university makes," the petition says. "The gulf of inequality at Brandeis University is growing."
The petition also accused the university of undermining "its own values when it prioritizes donor relationships and institutional prestige over student access to scholarship and good stewardship of our communal resources." It warns: "This path is financially unsustainable and irresponsible."
Brandeis spokeswoman Ellen de Graffenreid told the Globe that the board is considering making changes to its compensation policies and could vote on a proposal at its next meeting in late January.
The university also acknowledged last week that it paid Reinharz's wife, Shulamit Reinharz, an extra $30,000 a year for hosting university events and fundraising, in addition to her salary as director of the Women's Studies Research Center and as a professor of sociology.

On-the-Job: Learning the ropes-A A +A
Saturday, April 19, 2014
THE past the days have been amazing with the Sun.Star people – business forum, different press conferences, friends from the press and people from respectable offices. These are just some of what we did and who we met this week.
First day. I never thought it would be that hard. No orientation, no briefing, only a short conversation with Ms. Donna and Sir Rj. My co-interns and I were sent to a business forum at Dermpath, SM City Davao.
We were all excited and alert. We talked to different people and met a lot of new friends there. Later on, around 10 am, the forum started already. I understood everything at first, but later on, the forum got very technical and the terminologies used by the guests were very hard to understand. It gave me headache. After the forum, Sir Rj tasked us to write individual articles about the forum. It was very hard for me to start writing the article, but thanks to sir Rj for being there when I need his wisdom in business terminologies. It helped me a lot. We submitted our article by around 4 pm. Yeehaaay, successful Day 1!
Second day. Working on a holiday! We stayed at Sun.Star the whole
morning and revised the article we wrote. Sir Rj discussed to us the things that we need to develop - writing the lead, organizing the content and making the article short and concise. We are very thankful to him for sharing to us everything that he learned in this industry. Without him, I don't know if I can make an article! He is our hero. He dismissed us early and told us to enjoy the remaining hours of the day but I slept because I was exhausted physically and mentally.
Third day. We attended a press conference (ISpeak) at Sangguniang
Panglungsod. The topics were about the fire at Piapi and the upgrade of communication lines in city hall. It's my third time attending ISpeak so I felt comfortable already. I saw familiar faces from different media establishments. After the conference, we were again assigned to write an article. We chose to write about the upgrade of the communication lines in city hall. Sir Rj said that it must be submitted by 3 pm but we sent the article online at around 2 pm. He read and revised it. After, he showed us the original article and the edited one. I was amazed by how he made it more concise in just minutes. Great Mind indeed!
Fourth day. Finally, it is Friday - FLY DAY! Very sick today but I still
managed to attend the press conference at Philippine Information Agency. I thought of resting but I was thinking na SAYANG ANG ISANG ARAW NA PUNO NG MATUTUTUNAN so, I decided to attend the press conference. "Walang aayaw, ganyan ang buhay media." That's what I always put in my mind everytime I'm tempted to absent. After the conference, Sir Rj said that Ms. Stella Estremera will see us in the afternoon. So we went back to the Sun.Star office and met Ms. Stella. She told us to write an essay about our experiences this week. So now, here I am, writing this not-so-long-but-not-that-short compilation of my experiences.
I must say that this has been one of the best weeks of my life,
experiencing the life of the media people, experiencing how hard it is to write a story, WOW!!! What an experience. I just started my week here but I know for sure that I have learned and I'll be learning a lot more from these brilliant people of Sun.Star. Thank You for giving us the opportunity to learn from you. Thank you for opening your doors to us. We are very grateful for this experience. We owe you a lot. (Mariz S. Lindo)

Predictive Dialer Featured Articles
NJ Man Sues Chase for 'Willful' Disregard of the TCPA
Businesses that use predictive dialers need to be mindful of applicable laws. This is especially true when it comes to the TCPA, which limits how and under what circumstances businesses can use auto dialers.
Predictive Dialers Offer More Than Meets the Ear
When considering making the leap to purchasing a predictive dialing system, there's more to think about than just cost. While it makes sense to try to get the best value for your money, there are other important considerations that must be factored in.
Twitter Joins the 'Auto-Dialer' Fray
Anyone who's in the business of calling prospects to make a sale is aware of the current kerfuffle surrounding auto-dialers. Simply put, the Telephone Consumer Protect Act, or TCPA, has imposed strict limits on what kinds of calls can be made to private phones, especially if the phone-owners have not agreed to receive such calls.
Court: Current Capability Decides if a Device is an Auto Dialer
The United States District Court for the Southern District of California dismissed a putative class action filed against Crunch San Diego recently, under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
Making the Case for a Premises-based Predictive Dialer
Even though the cloud is seemingly everywhere these days - with a growing number of voices singing its praises - it might not be the perfect solution for every technology challenge. So it was with that in mind that SpitFire Dialers, manufacturers of flexible, easy to use call center products using the latest technology, recently issued a "pros and cons" listing of why a premises-based system is the better alternative to going to the cloud, for your predictive dialer needs.
Predictive Dialers Can Help More Than Just the Call Center
When most of us think about predictive dialers, we think of telemarketing done from giant contact centers. But predictive dialers make sense for more than just the contact center.
Indian Firm Helps Spread the Benefits of Predictive Dialing Software
Open source software makes a lot of sense for technology firms based in India, where capital is dear but manpower and IT are relatively cheap and plentiful.
Keeping Agents Efficient is a Key Task for Every Contact Center
The most important resource in any contact center is the agent who actually communicates with the customer. Don't forget to support these agents properly.
Predictive Dialer Channel Overview
This Predictive Dialer Channel at TMCnet™ is written for call center professionals.
» What is a Predictive Dialer?
Predictive dialers, systems that automatically place outbound calls and deliver answered calls to agents; they are the key to using your sales force time as efficiently as possible in your outbound call center.
If you've just heard of a predictive dialer and are considering the purchase of a predictive dialing system, or want to upgrade your existing predictive dialing system, TMCnet's Predictive Dialer Channel is an invaluable source of information on the Internet which will guide you each step of the way.
We hope you may visit our site at www.spitfiredialers.com and select one of our predictive dialer products in our SpitFire® Predictive Brand, the most well known and searched for predictive dialer brand on the Internet.
Today's call centers, while committed to the same basic functions, are vastly different from one another.
The same holds true for predictive dialers. While they all perform the same core function of dialing numbers from a list, they differ by:
To get the most out of your predictive dialer system, you must provide a clear game plan of your dialing requirements to the predictive dialer merchant. If youve never used a predictive dialer before as opposed to a seasoned veteran of call center predictive dialers, your needs may not be known at this stage.
From the start of your relationship with a predictive dialer vendor, your knowledge of your business goals is more essential than is your knowledge of computers and telephony. Telephony originally meaning voice (analog) communication by telephone (land line), this term has come to encompass virtually all of telecommunications, today because virtually all of telecommunications can be done over or while connected to a telephone line.
Unlike some other call center equipment, you must manage the predictive dialer technology to address your specific needs, rather than have your business conform to the dialer technology.
Dont let your vendor try to over-sell or under sell you as not to address your specific needs and future requirements.
A predictive dialer system when managed correctly, the results are surprising.
As the following illustrations show, manual dialing typically results in, on average, 16 minutes of agent talk time per hour. The predictive dialer has the potential to more than double the customer contacts per hour per agent. For more information, on OPC Marketings line of predictive dialers visit: SpitFire® Predictive
It's up to you to decide where you want your organization to be tomorrow and how to drive this business improvement process.
You will also make your mind up how you want to use this convenient, informative easy-to-read TMC predictive dialer channel. We will be updating these columns with the most relevant predictive and call center topics, or you can select only topics that address the current needs of your organization.
With the help of this site combined with your knowledge of your organization's needs, you will be equipped to make informed decisions that will unleash your predictive dialer's full potential.
Congratulations on your decision to maximize your call center's potential. A true predictive dialer is the cornerstone of your success. We hope OPCs predictive dialer channel provides you with the answers you need to select the right predictive dialer, the right predictive dialer merchantand optimize your outbound calls to meet your organization's needs and provide a framework for the successful integration into your current operation.
The predictable results will surely be a high point in your organization's history, as well as in your career in call center leadership.
What the Heck is a Predictive Dialer?
What are Predictive Dialers? On a very basic level, predictive dialers automate the total outbound dialing process.
This technology converts the manual dialing process agents were responsible for and automates it within a computer with specialized software.
The predictive dialing computer selects the person to be called, dials the number, waits for a human response, and only passes a call to an available agent when it connects with a human voice. The dialer has the programmed intelligence to prevent non-productive calls from reaching the agent. Since the agent doesn't have to deal with busy signals, answering machines, network messages, and "no answers," he is freed up to take one "ready" call after another.
The main reason for the increasing popularity of predictive dialers is their ability to dramatically increase the efficiency of your agent team by eliminating the dead time between calls. If you're just learning about predictive dialers, you should know that this technology goes by a variety of other names. Included among these interchangeable names are the following: automated telemarketing system, outbound contact management system, and automated dialing.
To keep things simple, we will use the term predictive dialer throughout this book.
