As an employee of one of the largest private universities in the world, it is extremely important for us to be professional at all times. The University of Phoenix (UOPX) is one of the largest private universities in the world with over 400,000 students currently attending. UOPX strives for excellence in maintaining our commitment to educating our community. UOPX is a unique organization because; we provide opportunities for people who are experts in organizational politics, conflict management and communication flows. It was in this historical context, in 1976, that Cambridge-trained economist and professor Dr. John Sperling founded the University of Phoenix. Sperling anticipated the confluence of technological, economic, and demographic forces that would in very short order herald the return of ever-increasing numbers of working adults to formal higher education (Apollo Group, 2004). Additionally, UOPX communicates via teleconferencing, video conferencing, learning center meetings, and email to keep all employees updated on any organizational policies. Whenever a new policy is adopted, all Apollo Group employees are informed. Just as the tools are put in place for change to take place. For example, Apollo Group scaled its academic and finance departments to a headquarters in Kansas City. The Apollo Group believes that we will best serve our students from one location by having the same guidelines and procedures for all students. This process will be managed from a central location, managed by a team of individuals. In February 2008, a video conference was held by the Regional Vice President announcing the organizational change. How......central area of the card......ist before entering the administration area. The information was communicated with training on how to use the ID badges by our technology department, one week before the identification was distributed. Once all employees and faculty have been trained, they must have their identification documents to enter the building. In conclusion, UOPX will strive to be a leader in organizational politics, conflict management and communication flow. As one of the largest private universities in the world, we must be leaders in all aspects of our community's education. For our organization to run smoothly, we must have organizational policies, we must be able to handle conflict management well, and be able to communicate effectively with all departments.ReferenceApollo Group, http://www.apollogrp. edu/History .aspx, 2004, Apollo Group Inc.
