Introduction AT&T is a telecommunications icon that was re-structured in 2005. The company is one of the market leaders in the provision of IP-based communication services to various corporations. The company’s mission is to connect individuals with their world and become the best in this endeavor. AT&T is committed to meeting the varied needs of its customers. It strives to achieve this by breaking new grounds and delivering timely solutions. After researching and studying AT&T, Team B will develop a research question, while making sure the problem is defined. The team will also determine an appropriate research design and identify the dependent and independent variables. Lastly, the team will identify a sample design to use for collecting data. Research Question for AT&T The research question is; did the retrenching of 12,000 Employees by AT&T secure its financial position? AT&T is among the largest providers of telephone services in the USA and across the globe (Kleinfield, 1981). In late 2008, AT&T announced that because of the economic/financial pressure that was being felt across the world, it would cut 12,000 jobs, about 4% of its workforce. This was a “changing business mix and a more streamlined organizational structure” according to the company (“AT&T Inc.”, 2007). In recent months, AT&T has improved its financial position because of the layoffs. It is imperative to note that AT&T made a compensation attempt by adding employees in some areas of the company that was “understaffed” (AT&T, 1998). What should be understood is that the company was not facing any financial itch as reported by many media houses. It was merely taking some precautionary measures that would see the avoidance of one major financial meltdown. AT&T, however, managed to secure and increase its financial position in a period when many companies were facing an economic crisis. Research Design for AT&T AT&T research design is extremely important to millions of Americans who depend on communication for their daily activities since access to communication is critical currently. The company’s design policies are standards that assist to improve and develop communication products and services. These are more appealing to a wide range of end-users. Their product development processes will consider the universal design implication on the design of new products and services, and when making enhancements to AT&T’s products and services offerings. Their design must be consistent with their dedication to variety and corporate social responsibility (Cooper and Schindler, 2006). The development of new innovative products and services should also be considered. Sample Design for AT&T Delivering a valuable customer experience is crucial to the success of AT&T. The objective of exploration by the researcher may be accomplished by using several techniques. Individual interviews, participant observation, and case studies are all examples of qualitative techniques that AT&T can use
Introduction The idea of public service motivation can offer a partial explanation to this analysis. The Ideal of Public Service by O’Toole clearly demonstrates main differences between traditional and modern approaches to the study of what motivate people. The traditional approach to a public service as an idea was a worthy thing to do, and a prescribed behaviour expected of public officials. Contemporary public service motivation approaches are using empirical research to discover why people seek jobs and remain in the public service, and whether the assumptions of earlier theories are correct (O’Toole, 2000). The idea and ideal of public service motivation is that those in official positions of public authority regard the interests of the whole society as being the guiding influence over all public decision-making, that their personal, class, or group interests are to be set aside when making decisions. In addition, they are public servants purely out of a perceived duty to serve the public. This idea emanated from earlier works of Aristotle and Plato which were Politics and Republic respectively. Public officials set aside personal interests. The idea is that he sees it as his duty to serve his community. The duty to serve the community surpasses a commitment to family, tribe, or self. Aristotle realized that it would be probably unrealistic and impossible for a man, naturally, a selfish animal, to do that, but as an ideal, it would have both inspirational and motivational force. Adam Smith, a moral philosopher and father of modern economic, filled the gap between naturalism and utilitarianism. He gave the natural order first school and individuals in the second. In his work of Moral Sentiments, he identifies six motives, which naturally derive human conducts. These are self-love, sympathy, the desire to be free, a sense of propriety, a habit of labour, and the propensity to exchange, or trade (Roll, 1954). From these motives, he portrays a man as the best judge of his own best situations, and given a chance, he will not only get his own best advantage and balance his motives, but also strive for the common good. Types of motivational bases Some scholars have argued that there are three types of motivational bases, such as rational base motive, this includes participation in the processes such as policy formulation, commitment to programmes, and advocacy for a special or private interest. The norm-based motive considers issues such as a desire to serve the public interest, loyalty to duty, and the government and social equity. Finally, the affective motive type of motivational base includes a commitment to programmes from a genuine conviction about its social importance, and patriotism of benevolence. These scholars further propose that people should connect their work motivation to individuals’ performance. For productive workers, managers should carefully attend to these different types of motivational base. Management sh
Inflation is a price increase at a rate greater than expected (unanticipated inflation) or at the expected rate (anticipated inflation). Inflation is an economic phenomenon that influences income recipients in two directions. The first inflation outcome refers to income recipients hurt by inflation as there is a forcible price level increase that does not coincide with their income increase proportionally. The second inflation outcome refers to recipients with flexible income, and they might benefit from the inflation effect. Groups of Recipients Hurt by Inflation Fixed-income recipients and savers are badly affected by the inflation effect, as their income or company revenue falls when a price level soars. People whose income systems are based on a fixed payment schedule might see a decrease in their purchasing power. The amount of money these people earn does not correspond to the inflation rate. For this very reason, this category of people might be hurt by inflation. Unanticipated inflation hurts lenders, as their purchasing power goes down in case prices go up. If the price level increases, the borrowed money is less valuable than those obtained from a creditor. Groups of Recipients are Helped by Inflation Flexible-income receivers are individuals who obtain their extra income from Social Security, an institute that is not affected by inflation, as all Social Security payments are indexed to the CPI. The nominal income increases when the CPI increases automatically, thus preventing the negative inflation impact. Debtors are also less vulnerable to inflation, as they take this phenomenon to their advantage by increasing the money value of lent money. The Impact of Cost-push Inflation As the economic crisis hit several facilities, overall production costs were drastically increased, thus generating cost-push inflation. In this situation, firms produce less output, as prices rise. As a result, the highest unemployment rate and little productive efficiency are seen. Cost-push inflation is a form of unanticipated inflation that is in charge of distribution outputs and incomes, as it generates price increases by restricting supply and reducing real output. Demand-Pull Inflation and Real Output The case for Zero Inflation might reduce real output, as businesses and organizations spend a lot of time obtaining the needed information, they long to distribute their wages, interest rates, and gain understanding between two concepts, such as nominal and real prices. Economists are determined that inflation is a pitfall for prosperous company development, even if it comes to mild inflation. As to the case of Mild Inflation, economists are sure that mild inflation is a side-effect
Anna Deavere Smith’s Fires in the Mirror firstly published in 1992 in New York is one of her famous plays devoted to one of the current issues of modern society namely to ethnic conflicts. The play consists of a number of interviews of the participants of the accident happened in the Crown Heights (Brooklyn Hights, 1993). Smith performed her play herself presenting each interviewee with all emotions and feelings. This play presents a deep conflict of minorities living in the Crown Heights from different points of view. Smith presents the historical preconditions, the racial theories and the participants of this conflict trying to understand the essence of this conflict better. This play is known as the thirteenth part of her project On the Road: A Search for the American Character that is the combination of drama and journalism (Rayner, 1993). The aim of this project is to cast light upon the current issues of the USA connected with religious, racial and gender conflicts (Reinelt, 1996). Smith has been interested in this problem since her youth. Studying at Beaver College, Smith was captured with the Black Power movement. She decided to move to San Francisco to take part in social and political movements. Living in San Francisco, she attended classes at the American Conservatory Theatre in order to become an actor (Lyons & Lyons,1994). Then she decided to move to New York to practice her actor skills. Further on, she began her teaching career. She gave lectures at New York University, Carnegie Mellon and Yale. After such experience of being involved in political movement, trying as an actor and a teacher helps her to create such an outstanding project On the Road: A Search for the American Character . The first play of this project was presented in 1983. Fires in the Mirror produced in 1992 is the play that has attracted a lot of attention to her project. This play was awarded in 1993 with a Pulitzer-Prize and was presented on TV. After this play she has written four works for this project (Lyons & Lyons, 1994). Smith has been awarded with “genius grant” from the MacArthur Foundation. She has created the Institute on the Arts and Civic Dialogue at Harvard. She continues her teaching career as well as she sometimes tries herself as an actor. Being an all-round person, Smith presents such a profound representation of ethnic conflict in her play. The subject matter of Fires in the Mirror is the conflict between the Jewish community and the black community. This conflict was caused with the accident happened in the Crown Heights in 1991when the representative of the Jewish community lost control of the car and killed a black boy that was seven years old. This accident intensifies the
Introduction The lied or the Baroque continuo song is a genre of secular song that emerged in German music around 1630 and remained very popular until ca. 1680 (Frandsen, p. 264). These songs were mainly strophic settings of stanzaic poetry in which the voice or voices are accompanied by an instrumental bass part, normally played on a keyboard instrument (the basso continuo part). Most typically the settings display syllabic declamation of the poetry. Most of the poetry came from contemporary poets, such as Martin Opitz, August Buchner, Johann Rist, Philipp von Zen, and several others including a few composers (Frandsen, p. 264). Popularity of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) is one of the most popular composers belonging to the Baroque period. His memorable melodies were excellent in their expressiveness and belonged to the Italian Opera genre. His orchestrations, however, were more Austrian in nature, rich in texture and harmony (Stein and Spillman, p. 250). Mozart displayed a sense of humor and a sense of drama in most of his masterpieces – from the very elaborate compositions to the smaller ones. Both of these features are present in a simple lied titled Das Veilchen. In this composition, Mozart took Goethe’s poem about the shy little violet and tells the story as if it were an opera in and of itself. The melody and accompaniment follow the tumult the Veilchen feels upon seeing the lovely young shepherdess to the moment she steps on him (Stein and Spillman, p. 250). In the lieder, the vocal line and the piano accompaniment are of equal musical significance and these songs are considered to be among the finest of all art songs. The lied style was articulated by Schubert and developed further by Schumann, Brahms, and Hugo Wolf. Mozart’s lieder were not much recognized as they were not very different from his arias. The poets whose works were widely used in the lieder are Goethe, Chamisso, Eichendorff, Rückert, Wilhelm Müller, Heine, and Mörike (Stein and Spillman, p. 253). Among modern composers, the German songs of Hindemith and Schoenberg are outstanding. The Romantic period Most of Mozart’s lieder are not art songs by the strict definition of the Romantic period. Art songs were defined as poetry set to through-composed music. However, this definition did not exist during the times of Mozart. This definition was formalized in 1798, seven years after Mozart’s death (Keefe, p. 275). Mozart’s had been a composer of songs, albeit casually and at intervals, from boyhood onwards and his early songs are youthful essays in the current styles: minute songs like “‘Daphne, Deine Rosenwangen’” ( 1768) and “‘An die Freundschaft’” ( 1772), studies in the north German manner such as “‘Geheime Liebe’” and “‘Die grossmütige Gelassenheit’” ( 1772), and the two French ariettes, “‘Oiseaux, si tous les ans’” and “‘Dans un bois solitaire’”, written on his way to Paris in 1777
The Pressure-response-support Model The Business Pressure-Response-Support Model is a prototype set forth to explain why corporations are implementing information technology support (Gronwald, 2015). This model is made up of three main components. Business pressures (also called factors) are the outcomes of the current business environment that trigger all-embracing transformations to cope with business challenges, and consequently generate valuable business prospects (Herschel, 2012). Business responses are the activities performed by a company to reply to business pressures and function successfully in the current commercial setting. One should take into consideration that these responses must be volatile, anticipatory, flexible, and predictive. Decisions and organizational maintenance facilitate the supervision of the setting and improve the response activities performed by organizations (Gronwald, 2015). The latter is usually done by the IT support function using data warehousing. The support genuinely utilizes software instruments for data examination and management. This aspect of business intelligence is important because personnel can monitor the environment via a variety of applications, dashboards, and more (Gronwald, 2015). There are numerous significant sources (factors) of pressure in the modern corporate environment that cause extensive transformations. These include the marketplace, customer demand, IT-related innovations, and social transformations (Herschel, 2012). In addition to these sources of pressure, several critical responses are usually inherent in the majority of organizations. Those responses comprise the organizational approach, partner’s alliance, instantaneous response, quickness, improved productivity, new retailers, and innovative business models. Decision support systems In the middle of the twentieth century, some companies managed to develop interactive data systems that utilized the available information and models to assist the executives in scrutinizing poorly controlled problems (Chaudhuri, Dayal, & Narasayya, 2011). Throughout the development process, these systems were given the name decision support systems (DSS). The DSS system is designed to provide necessary assistance to the decision-makers at any level in a company. The importance of these systems to business intelligence can be explained by the fact that they can support procedures, economic management, and tactical decision-making (Işık, Jones, & Sidorova, 2013). Moreover, the majority of complex decision support systems are intended to help middle and senior executives. The DSS systems are also often custom-made for specific organizations (e.g., hospitals, banks, insurance, and such). The DSS is occasionally referred to as industry-specific decision support systems. These systems may be helpful to business intelligence because they may support a small cluster of managers utilizing just one PC, or a large cluster of managers in an interactive environment that is based on the client-server paradi
Executive Summary The proposed research will study the role of the UK fire and rescue Authority especially its international mandate as provided for by the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004. The rationale for the research will be supported by research questions and hypotheses, and developed by the literature review. The latter, as well, will determine the relevance of the research as little scholarly work has been done on the mentioned topic. To add credibility and reliability to the research findings, qualitative and quantitative methods will be used for data collection and analysis. The proposed research will respect ethical standards of scholarly work. The respective timescale and resource/cost allocation system will also be established for the proposed stock market research. Problem Statement The current proposal is developed as the first step in creating a research project on the role of the UK fire and rescue services in determining their international role in matters that requires them to provide their services as dictated by the 2004 Act. In more detail, the project will seek to inquire about the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004, how it applies in a globalized world, examine the factors that allow for this Act to function effectively and rationally in international emergencies and look into globalization factors that have influenced on how the 2004 Act plays a role in the way the UK fire and rescue Authority plays its role. In order to get a more clear perspective, the project shall look at how the UK fire and rescue Authority carried out its role in the Haiti earthquake. The data for the research shall be collected from both primary and secondary sources. The primary sources will include interviews from the relevant personnel and Authorities while the secondary sources will include information from past documentations of the UK fire and rescue Authority services (House of Commons, 41). Aims and Objectives The aims and objectives of the research project are focused on the analysis of the research problem. In particular, these aims and objectives will be achieved by answering the major research question and the set of minor sub-questions presented in the following list:  1. What role, if any, does the UK fire and rescue services Authority have towards international disasters  2. How the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 influences the role of the UK fire and rescue services  3. How the UK search and Rescue team operated  4. How the Fire and rescue services Act 2004 applied in the Haiti earth quake  5. How this law operates internationally as it applies to the search and rescue teams.  6. How globalization affects the legislative and substantive work of those in the fire and rescue service.  7. Ethical considerations are dealt with and the role of the practitioner in a changing world environment. Research Hypotheses Further on, the achievement of the aim and objectives of the proposed research will become possible to a great extent thanks to either confirming or rejecting the two hypotheses derived from the topic of this study. So, the first hypothesis is: H1. The fire and rescue services Act 200
