University of California, Santa Barbara upon first glance exclusively represents the term university, meaning that UCSB is widely and solely represented as a place of education. This can be noted, as well as supported, in the universities’ statement of their mission, which focuses on the fact that “Teaching and research go hand-in-hand at UC Santa Barbara” and the students are on “educational journey.” However, once UCSB is holistically analyzed it is shown to reflect more than a University, but rather an organization that follows not only the bureaucratic but also organizational definition. UCSB’s connection to a bureaucratic organization, however, is further supported through its connection to formalization, the division of labor, and hierarchy. In conclusion, UCSB has duality in its existence as not only a university but also an organization.

While admittedly the article does not mention Burundi it shows where Burundi is headed if there is no intervention. However in the article "BURUNDI: Towards Greater Food Security.

Both give good information and examples of what can be done, however neither of them offer real solutions on how to motivate other countries to provide the aid needed.

Aspects of a phenomenological interview include the nature of the semi-structured interview; where new knowledge is generated through participant experiences. Additionally, collecting data from participants initiates an audit trail of the participants’ insights into their own lives, where evidence of ontological authenticity can be identified. Furthermore, interviews can assist the researcher in delving deeper into the participants’ stories; documenting the participants’ and the researcher’s awareness of growth and change during the study (Onwuegbuzie, et al, 2008, ....). Relatedly, a recording tool can supplement the researcher and the research; for this study, a Sony ICD-UX533 digital voice recorder will be used to record the individual semi-structured audio

In qualitative research, bias can affect the validity and reliability of the research findings. However, the researcher can recognize the bias and work to reduce it. In this specific research study, interviews are heavily relied upon to receive data. During interviews, personal bias from the interviewer can skew the data.

A strategic combination of individual advancement and a foundational change in mind-set could be the solution, and additionally a survey and in some cases a confirmation of organizational culture. The entry of women in to leadership should be enhanced so as to change the states of mind and the culture of development industry to draw in more skilled leaders with diversity. Hence not just the development business or the other stakeholders who impact women’s career but also the women concerned should take the concern to defeat their own barriers for entry into leadership positions in management. The acknowledgement of ‘soft skills’ to women has both positive and negative ramifications for women.
