Once Gar Finnvold realizes that his organization requires transformation (Spector, 2013), the first action that he needs to take is to study customer reviews on service satisfaction. From the results of surveying the customers, he will understand the flaws of the company and their expectations regarding its performance. Having understood the flaws, Finnvold, as a formal leader, needs to organize meetings with his employees at all levels, the aim of which is to formulate a new vision. The outcomes of these meetings will be expressed as a new customer-oriented direction of the company, focused on customer care and timely delivery of its services. In order to succeed in mutual engagement, the company has to promote the culture of common discussions and involvement of the employees. It can be organized by gathering the information and feedback on all structural levels. The next step is linked with the optimization of the structure of leadership and with implementing new positive strategies to achieve the stated goal. New proactive leaders need to appear on all levels of the company’s hierarchy. To be able to make it, Finnvold needs to focus on upward communication with the workers on all levels and to promote individual decisions. The main goal of this communication is to motivate the employees of operational levels to participate in developing strategies that are in line with the direction of the company. Setting optimistic expectations for employee performance will not only encourage the workers to perform better but also will help in developing new behaviors of each worker. The next step needs to be based on building an emotional connection between the employees and the company to strengthen the feeling of commitment to the set goal. The last step is to introduce a bonus system that would encourage individual, team-based work, and excellent performance of the whole company. Finnvold as a formal leader needs to learn to listen to his employees, engage them in the working process, and build effective communication inside his company. In the end, after new behaviors meeting the target are set, the organizational structure needs to be performed. This managing transformation of the company will make it competitive on the market in two years. Reference Spector, B. (2013). Implementing organizational change. Theory into practice. (3 rd ed.)

Introduction Apprehension in human has largely been associated with psychological disturbance. Medical and psychology experts have linked post traumatic stress disorder, a nervousness condition, to mental distress. Post traumatic disorder was related to life situations that troubled a person or group of people. The situation might have, perhaps, concerned fatality risk, bodily, gender, or mental uprightness that devastated a person’s capacity to survive. Indicative signs of post traumatic disorder combined a repeated occurrence of earlier disturbance through dreadful dreams, evasion of distress related prompts, and amplified provocations. Recognized investigative measures needed that the indicators had endured and resulted in noteworthy harm. An individual was weakened socially, in their work, and basic utility spheres by the post traumatic stress disorder. Majority of global nations have soldiers who serve in the army ready for combat if the need occurred. Most of the combatants, usually, tailored a war awareness state to manage the consistent pressure of battle duty. Rapid exchanges between civic and combatant mind frames augmented mental pressure. The combatants were forced to incline to conducts and abilities that guaranteed every day survival. Nonetheless, a war awareness state of mind was vulnerable to combat dreadfulness. Post traumatic stress disorder had been exposed among numerous combatants. The anxiety condition was largely observed in combatants who returned from a war zone. Symptoms associated with post traumatic stress disorder were noted on returning combatants. However, a prominent challenge was faced by medical practitioners on how they could distinguish between post traumatic stress disorder and gentle distressing mental power damage. Both health situations had comparable indicators and were common among combatants from war deployment. If combatants suffered frequently alternated mental conditions and rapid mind state exchanges augmented psychological pressure then multiple war zones deployment of combatants that increased mental state exchange led to incidents of post traumatic stress disorders. Literature Review War combatants have, recently, suffered increased post traumatic stress disorders. More than a fifth of war soldiers have been diagnose with post traumatic stress disorder. The combatants have suffered hallucination, stimulation, and slumber troubles among other post traumatic stress indicators. Hurdles have existed for the soldiers to revert back to normal society life. Tough war instructions for endurance in Iraq and Afghanistan had no value in society life setting. However, the instructions did not fritter away. A lonesome sensation might engulf a combatant away from his or her colleagues. Combatants were projected to constrict their emotions. Nevertheless, the situation led to concealed battle sufferings. Society life could have, probably, been a source of illogical outbreaks and distressing incident
The hierarchical and centralised structures of the internet are limiting human interactions despite the massive forms of change being experienced in the world. The social attributes of the current media are bound by complex regulations from the legal, technological, political, and commercial sectors. In fact, the government has been involved in the shutdown of various websites including Wikileaks. The current centralised structure affects the users’ interaction because it allows corporations, government agencies, and domain owners to act as gatekeepers against all media contents. The paper focuses on an internet revolution that is moving away from the centralised to an open and decentralised peer-to-peer platform. According to De Filippi (2014), the Internet has never been free because of numerous regulations from the central authorities that comprise governments and corporations. Despite the growing social needs, the internet has not been providing adequate solutions. The world is experiencing massive transformations in the social, cultural, corporate, and political sectors. Additionally, there is an increasing demand for communication freedom. Researchers are pushing towards a culture of openness, sharing and cooperation, and designing better communication infrastructures. According to Rheingold (2003), society should move towards cooperation and communication. In fact, the researcher claimed that the social attributes change according to human perceptions. Bauwens (2012) also observed that one of the best ways to improving the communication infrastructures was applying the theory of micro-politics, which focuses on the adaptability of change at micro levels. According to Bauwens (2012), one of the requirements of building a better communications infrastructure is openness. Some of the areas that have experienced growth and transformation using the openness platform are education, research, and publishing. The open platforms should include all the communication designs, hardware, and manufacturing techniques to allow users to design and create personalised and decentralised features. Some of the characteristics that promote openness include FabLabs that enable users to contribute innovative technologies and designs. According to Gershenfeld (2006), fabrication labs are some of the best places for unleashing creativity and innovative ideas. Sharing is the other attribute required in enhancing internet communication. Although the current culture emphasises in making profits, the shared responsibility will promote ownership. In fact, one of the best examples of sharing is the ‘Occupy Wallstreet’ movement. Sharing replaces completion with ownership. Sharing extends to one of the most significant concepts of collaborative commons. According to Rushkoff (2011), collaborative commons would apply to informat
Introduction Since the International Space Station became suitable for human habitation, research has been initiated to establish the effects of space and microgravity on various phenomena of human life. Undoubtedly, space exploration breakthroughs have immensely contributed to the betterment of human life. Conspicuous evidence of the benefits of space tours to human life include: advances in human health, education, earth observation, telemedicine, and disaster management among others. The Role of Human Health The International Space Exploration has provided a unique platform for carrying out the impact on human health, earth, and beyond. Research has been conducted on the station to provide a better understanding of the phenomena of human health such as the environment, aging, disease, and trauma. Physiological and biological tests have produced vital results and, therefore, improving our comprehension of the series of physiological events that are usually shielded by gravity and invention of new and advanced medical technology and procedures, including telemedicine, cell behaviour, disease models, and nutrition. The Canadian Space Agency (2012) gives an inspiring narration of how a robotic arm has successfully performed a brain surgery. In 2008, Paige Nickason became the first brain tumor patient to receive surgery from a robot. Since then, numerous patients have received surgeries from the neuroArm. The development of the neuroArm owes a lot of credit to space exploration. For a long time, robots have constituted a major component of space technologies and currently, the technology is being tailored to provide medical solutions as evidenced in the neuroArm. mcDolnard, Dettwiller and Associates Limited has made enormous advances in designing a two-armed neuroArm and developing a tele-operated surgery unit for children. Furthermore, the company is developing an image-guided independent robot system for the early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. One of the major health challenges associated with space exploration is kidney stones and bone loss for astronauts during long stays on space. Astronauts have had to participate in regular physical exercises to counter the problem. In a bid to provide more efficient solutions to bone loss and renal dysfunction, astronauts take biophosphonate, vitamin D, and Calcium respectively. The precautions for promoting astronauts health have provided insights for treating osteoporosis in Canada and other parts of the world (Canadian Space Agency, 2012). Space exploration and its associated technology have also improved the health of humanity through the invention of asthma management devices. The European Space Agency has developed a device for establishing the level of nitrogen monoxide, a major cause of lung inflammation, in exhaled air. The devise has been found to be beneficial to asthma patients since it assists in monitoring and managing the levels of asthma prevention and suitability of medication (Canadian Space Agency, 2012).

Introduction One of the biggest and wealthiest companies, Apple, has reached unexpected heights with Steve Jobs, which is the major moving force of the business. Steve Jobs has left a legacy behind by being a successful entrepreneur, a skilled worker, and a determined person. Steve Jobs: Biography Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, unfortunately, his parents were university students and they set him up for adoption. The gifted child was adopted by Paul Reinhold Jobs and Clara Jobs. As Paul was somewhat involved in vehicle mechanics and electronics, he taught Steve some things which developed his interest in technology and mechanisms. Steve was talented in other areas as well; his mother taught him how to read even before he went to school, which was another proof of his quick learning brain. In school, Steve was a rebel and was not interested in formal education, which is very characteristic of gifted children, as school seems simple and distant to them. He often got involved it problematic situations, receiving a label of a troublemaker (Gilliam 15). His passion for electronics got only stronger which led him to be in constant attendance of several electronics clubs in a number of schools. Steve’s bad behavior forced the family to move around and change schools, which turned out to be extremely beneficial. When his family moved to Los Altos, California, he met a friend by the name Bill Fernandez. Steve Wozniak was another electronics enthusiast whom Bill introduced to Steve. Wozniak and Jobs became good friends, as their interest in electronics were mutual and equally consuming. Steve’s next major step was to convince Bill Hewlett, one of the owners of Hewlett-Packard, to give Steve computer equipment. Hewlett was surprised by Steve’s intelligence and gave him a job on the assembly line; he was thirteen years old (Imbimbo 27). At fifteen, Steve acquired a vehicle with the money saved. The bargaining skills he gained from his adoptive father while selling cars and his knowledge of electronics became very useful for him during his whole life. As Steve got older and went to college, he encountered the same problem as in school and so he went off to search for the “meaning of life” in India. There, he realized that to make something great out of an idea there must be active and so, he decided to pursue his meaning in life by returning home and resuming his passion in electronics, which happened in 1974 (Doeden 16). When he worked at a company called “Altair” he was thought of as the very impolite and impatient person who often insulted co-workers because they could not understand something or complete a job fast enough. In 1975, he reunited with his friend Wozniak and saw the machine that he had built. Jobs was fascinated by it and proposed to c
To be a good leader is not an easy thing, it is necessary to meet all the necessary requirements within the chosen sphere, to be able to communicate with workers, listen to them, help, and control them. This is why it is impossible to become a really sophisticated leader within a short period of time. A person should develop his/her best qualities in order to have the most significant traits of an effective leader, and time is one of the most helpful means in this situation. Lots of good leaders may be found in the sphere of politics, management, finance, and even education. I got a wonderful chance to work with the leader from a business sphere; it was a regional bank chief, let it be Mr. Thomson. Mr. Thomson has a wonderful skill to demonstrate how an effective leader should behave and what professional traits have to be developed first of all; this person gives me a couple of lessons to help me concentrate on the necessary abilities, which are inherent to a real leader. Andrew DuBrin (2009) underlines one simple fact concerning proper leadership: it should be considered as both partnership and relationship, and compared to another close concept, management. If management is all about orders, control, and planning, leadership is more about inspiration, motivation, and help. A great leader should be able to create certain partnership and relationship between him/herself and the group of workers. Honesty, cooperation, equal attitude to each worker, social awareness, and self-management – this is what may help an ordinary leader to become a great leader. Mr. Thomson leads the bank for a couple of years. He does not want to agree that great leaders are born, not made. He underlines all the time that it is much more effective if people hone the skills to become a great leader through their practice within some period of time. Each person should have a chance to develop, enlarge own skills, and achieve higher and high results in the chosen sphere. Mr. Thomson’s first advice is to be always ready for commitment and huge responsibility. Effective leadership deals with providing certain directions and help, this is why people should not be afraid of numerous questions and should be ready to give some helpful answers. An effective leader, according to Mr. Thomson, should concentrate on personal strong and weak points in order to develop the former and correct the latter. He also admits that good leaders should be able to analyze the ways other people perceive them. When a person pays attention to the ways employees reacts on his/her orders and suggestions, he/she gets more chances to find out the best way to lead and help. One of the best pieces of advice, Mr. Thomson offers, is not to forget to take into consideration personal interests and desires. Lots of leaders try to think more and more about their workers in order to satisfy them and promote good work. It is one of the biggest mistakes: a great leader is always able to think about personal benefits and to support the employees. If a person is not born to be a leader, it is not a problem. Some time, desire to study and develop personal
Introduction Science is a very absorbing subject with relevance in a plethora of real world situations. It is a resolute attempt by humans to understand the history of the natural world and how it works. It makes use of empirical evidence as the foundation of that understanding and is done by examination of natural phenomena and experimentation. Effective teaching of science, like many other subjects, requires the use of standard-based connections with other principal subjects like mathematics and languages. This goes a long way in reinforcing teaching and learning of science. Science ought to be taught in a way that captures the interest and imagination of young children. It must develop a number of relevant skills like literacy, numeracy, communication, coordination, critical thinking, and problem solving. Teaching basic science should also strive to cultivate a connection between children and their environment. The effective teaching of science must assist a student develop the understanding of concepts and ability to make inquiries. This is necessary for them to become constructive citizens and learners of science. Science education should emphasize participating in and acquiring scientific practice. With proper support, young students can take part in complex scientific practices. In order to assess the learning of science among fifth grade students, ten questions were collected from the Fifth Grade California Standards Test (CST) and administered to students. In picking these test questions, it was necessary to ensure the following three benchmarks were met: “(1) the questions adequately cover a selection of the academic content standards assessed on the Grade 5 Science Test; (2) the questions demonstrate a range of difficulty, and (3) the questions present a variety of ways standards can be assessed” (California Department of Education, 2012). From the results of the assessment, graphs were made to depict how the students scored when answering questions and the overall performance per question. The subject teacher, Mrs. Matsuo, was also interviewed, and her education qualification taken into consideration in an attempt to understand why the students performed the way they did in certain areas. This report examines the level of learning among fifth grade students. It looks at the questions used and why they were chosen. It analyzes the results of the assessment using graphs and a table. This report also gives my personal reflection of the assessment and makes recommendations for future implementation. Demography My assessment project was performed at Charles Wright Elementary (CWE) School in Merced. CWE is an elementary school forming part of Merced City School District located in the middle of the agriculturally productive San Joaquin Valley. This is a district school with most students living in a rural setting. The participating class had eighteen male students and eleven female students making a total of twenty-nine. Of these students, four were African-American, eighteen were Hispanic, six Caucasian and one was Asian.
Segmentation, Target Marketing, and Positioning Segmentation Variables Used Under geographical segmentation, seasonal variables are used. This variable is used to show that seasonal products, such as winter gears and in this case winter eagles, are often promoted to geographic segments. Specifically, winter eagles will be marketed and promoted for times leading up to late fall, particularly in Sydney, Nova Scotia, and Canada, as they record harsh weather conditions during winter. Target Market Description The target market will be all persons living in places, that condition is unbearable-conditions in these places, reaching -30 degrees. Since the business is a start-up, the best target marketing strategy is micromarketing. Micromarketing is the most effective technique, particularly for small businesses to build, sustain, dev
Introduction Ethical and legal issue are some of the most important issue that a company has to ensure that they well taken care of. Any business organization, whether profit or non profit, must have a clear outline of code of ethics as well it must adhere to the laws set buy the jurisdiction in its area of operation. Failure to uphold ethics working ethics may often lead to law suits. In this paper I give a summary of what constitutes ethics in the context of a manager carrying out his/her duties and the legal involved in such. This article specifically examines the ethical and legal issues in reference to managers involved in data storage on behalf of their client. Summary Data storage on behalf of client is quite sensitive as the data, in most cases, is sensitive and has to be offered full and comprehensive protection from any intrusion. With the advancement in technology it has continuously become possible for stored data to be illegally accessible; this has become possible through identity theft, hacking among other means. At the work places sometimes information access by employees is limited and this is an ethical issue depending on why and what kind of information is being limited. Though most of the unethical issue are illegal, the two – ethics and law – can not be said to mutually inclusive as some business activities may be legal but not ethically. Business ethics therefore can be said to go beyond what the law stipulates and can be viewed as the foundation upon which a mutual relationship between a client and a business firm is build. However, with time the law is progressing to cover some unethical issues which have been left out of its grasp in the past: use of spam, leaking of private and confidential information, intrusion into competitor information among others. The internet has been one of the major channels which have magnified unethical practices and its governance is a subject that is much considered. The internet can be viewed as the fabric which joins almost all aspect of the society from governance, carrying out business and socializing. The internet has therefore become part of our everyday life implying that ethical issues will even be more pronounced as the society integrates the internet more into its everyday use. Integration of the internet in the daily activities in the society has given rise to ethical issues with regard to privacy. The ethical issue brought about by the internet literary flows out in all directions; for instance, employer monitoring of the employees over what they do may raise intrusion of privacy and at the same time if the employees are using office hours to engage in non office tasks over the internet.
