Introduction The web 3.0 modern technologies seem to influence almost each business across the world because multinational, medium, and small business enterprises seek new technologies to improve service delivery and enhance efficiency their operations, (Almeida, Santos, & Monteiro, 2013). Through integration of technology into businesses, electronic commerce popularly known as e-commerce has become a new trend in business operations, where companies transact most of their business activities through the Internet and web-based applications (Teece, 2010). Zenith School Supplies is a young enterprise that supplies kits to thousands of schools across the Australia and is currently seeking a single and fully integrated website for its supplies. In this view, this e-business planning report provides a proposed plan for Zenith School Supplies to adopt e-commerce. The e-commerce business model The association between business models and innovations is indispensable in the modern world of business. According to Teece (2010), “technological innovation often necessitates business models, since technology creates both the need to bring discoveries to market and the opportunity to satisfy unrequited customer needs” (p. 176). Three main e-commerce model categories include Business-to-Business (B2B) model, Business-to-Consumer (B2C) model and the Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C) e-commerce model. The case involves a business-consumer relationship and the B2C model is an appropriate model in the case of Zenith School Supplies. B2C is one of the most effective business models spurred by modern innovations that several multinational businesses have praised for its efficiency and effectiveness in business operations. The grounds of selecting the B2C e-commerce business model lies in the facts surrounding the case study and its perceived efficiency in business electronic exchanges that Almeida, Santos, and Monteiro (2013) discovered. Since the company deals directly with its consumers, the B2C model is significant since any business that sells directly to its consumer’s uses this e-commerce model. The B2C e-commerce model has its basis on the direct connection between a consumer and a retailer, without any intermediaries through integrated web-based technologies (Almeida, Santos, & Monteiro, 2013). Under the B2C model, the business will consider the application of two other e-commerce models: the virtual community e-commerce model and the brand awareness model. E-commerce business on revenue The business would derive revenue through online shopping, which is a revenue model. A major presumption involving the significance of e-commerce is its efforts in tremendous reduction of marginal operation costs that involves production and distribution of products to consumers (Rothaermel &
Introduction IPscape is not regarded as one of the most successful companies in the sphere of IP telephony, and communication technologies. This is explained by the fact that the company lacks the trust credit for the brand, and lacks properly developed business strategy. The activity of the company’s call center is based on the principle of the quickest reaction possible, and regardless of the fact that the marketing strategy of the company is not effective enough, the call center offers high-quality assistance and consultation associated with the communication and IP telephony. Competitive analysis, as well as the risk assessment of the company’s products, will help the company to revise the existing business strategy, and implement the new products for attracting the target audience. Competitive Analysis Call centers of other companies are generally featured with a particular business strategy, and all the services offered by the employees of the call centers are performed within the frameworks of the general business strategy. The Call center of the Genius Company is featured with essential strengths and large opportunities for further development. Therefore, the company is 33 years in business, an the experience that was collected is sufficient for creating the framework for offering high-quality services. It is also stated that the call center services are featured with the lowest answering time, rigorous quality control, as well as world-leading answer rate. These achievements were possible only with the existing clear business strategy, and the properly elaborated marketing aims. Considering the fact that the actual importance of the low answer rates are needed for better customer care, and increased brand awareness, the Genius company included the call center services provision into a single business framework. This was helpful for achieving the high service parameters. IBM is regarded as one of the first companies that outsourced the activity of the call center. This helped to decrease the load placed on the IBM personnel, and entrust the communication process, as well as customer care process to experts of communication and answering calls. The outsourcing was performed considering the requirement of extending and improving customers’ relations and involves the key considerations of the customer care strategy. The strengths of the call center performance involve the 24/7 availability for any customer or client of the company, flexible customer care, and commun
Background information Following the recent research by the Jamaica Queens organization, it is now evident that the community needs to improve on nutrition status. From the research, it is evident that obesity is one of the major illnesses associated with nutritional problems. From this context, a lot of cases associated with heart diseases have been reported in local health care centers. This has resulted to lack of productivity in the community, as more community members are now seeking interventions from healthcare providers. Moreover, the consequences of having an unhealthy community are detrimental to the economy of the community. Therefore, it is important to have a plan that addresses the nutritional concerns of the community. Creation of nutrition counsel centers and recreational facilities are some of the ideas that will be included in this proposal. This proposal focuses on creating a self-designed nutritional program for the community. Program goals The program aims to provide the community residents with both dietetic and nutritional skills required in community nutrition. Moreover, the program seeks to develop and manage the nutritional programs that already exist in the community. In addition, the program seeks to provide the community members with interventional skills in regard to obesity. Finally, the program’s proposal seeks to develop a plan to create recreation facilities and nutrition counsel centers within the community. Program objectives The program aims at provid

Stress is an extremely counterproductive phenomenon of human life and is usually a “reaction to demands from the environment” in the form of “physical, cognitive and emotional response” (Pg.9). In an interview with my cousin Abby, I was able to study the effects of this stress on the life of individuals and how it transforms future life and actions. Abby had had a serious accident when she was in her twenties, which appears to be the most probable reason for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in her. I did question her regarding any other possible stressful events in her life and she mentioned that she had earlier been experiencing ‘work stressor’ and ‘home stressor’. The interview revealed that Abby had been experiencing “job-related stress” in which she was faced with “high demands” but less “control” and no real “sense of accomplishment” (Pg. 10). This is apparent from Abby’s remarks where she affirms that she felt the need to work hard so that she could support the family in times during hard times. However, the most crucial incident which changed Abby’s life and which caused her to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the car accident which she encountered with her friend (now her husband) and the death of another friend besides her unborn baby (Abby was unaware of her pregnancy until the accident). Studies confirm that PTSD is a “psychological response” to any traumatic experience in life which could result in several changes in the life of the affected individual. This can be confirmed from the fact that Abby had a good memory and was efficient at completing tasks prior to the incident, but after the accident, she realized that her memory had reduced and she had problems remembering things which also reduced her ability to accomplish jobs successfully. Through the course I have learned that the best “remedy’ to PTSD is way to find the “source of fear” in the patient with the intention of correcting “exaggerated beliefs” (Pg. 8). I wanted to confirm whether Abby’ beliefs were “exaggerated” or the PTSD source had actually caused any changes in two portions of her brain, “amygdale and hippocampus” (Pg. 8). This finding would confirm the “long term” effects of trauma which Abby had encountered as a result of the car accident with her friends and would be husband. The fact that Abby would get s
Introduction Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) is a national approach developed by the government of Scotland that aims to improve the life and wellbeing of children. It was formed due to the recognition of the fact that it is more effective to help families at the earliest stages, before they are stricken by the crisis (Scottish Government, 2016). The approach is also focused on striving to make childhood a happy period of life and to create an environment that would make young people active learners and effective contributors. The Government of Scotland set up this framework together with Christie Commission. The Commission believes that people should help in the implementation of activities created for their wellness. It also supports a preventative approach to the children that are being at risk looked after. Part 12 of the 2014 Children and young people Act (CYPSA) formulates this approach, also describing the services that local authorities should make available ( Children and young people (Scotland) Act, 2014). It also addresses children with physical disabilities and children referred to the reporter due to certain offenses. The non-statutory guidance concerning the problems of the children looked after is divided into two parts. The first part describes the legal framework, and the second part addressed the relevant services subject to the 2016 Order. Thus, the framework mostly aimed at the prevention of decreasing the quality of life of children to the extent that they should be looked after. CYPSA The Children and Young People Act 2014 was issued on 19 February 2014. It is underpinned by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989 and follows the same principles ( Children and young people (Scotland) Act, 2014). The Act contains 18 parts that describe different issues related to children’s rights. The document places new duties on Scottish Ministers and organizations, which guarantees its implementation. According to the Act, the commissioner for children and young people in Scotland is allowed to investigate the cases concerning the wellness of children. A structure for the integrated planning of children services is established by the Act. Equality Act 2010 and UNCRC UNCRC (The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) is a complex framework focused on the protection of children’s rights. It covers the full range of aspects referring to the cultural, social, political, and civil rights of children, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, religion, abilities, and other traits. In the field of equality, it has the same basis as the Equality Act 2010, which also addresses the issues of religion, gender, et cetera. The Act aims to eliminate discrimination and advance equality between people ( Equality Act 2010 , 2016). In comparison to the GYRFEC, which is a national framework, UNCRC has a larger scale. It addresses, for example, such rights of every child as the right to relax and play, contained in Article 31 of the Convention, an
Introduction In human society death is traditionally treated as sacred, mysterious, and inevitable thing, this is something that is beyond the scope of a man. Death never warns us about the time of its arrival, and the possibility to face Grim Reaper is sure to strike terror into the hearts of the most courageous people. But what if death stops being a horrific thing and becomes somebody’s business? In fact, death and its aftermath is the business sphere of the Fishers, the characters of “Six Feet Under”. The peculiar feature of this family is that for them death is the source of money as they own funeral home “Fisher & Sons”. The paradox that is based on the conventional fear of death and the perception of death almost as one more member of the family cannot but leave a significant sign on each member of the family. Main Body Every member of the family has a seal of death on him/her. The first character we meet and follow at once is the head of the family, Nathaniel, Sr. The episode opens with the tragic accident involving his new hearse and a bus. As the result of this accident, Nathaniel Fisher dies. The audience gets to know from Nate’s, the eldest son, words that his father was a man who had neither an accident nor even a speeding ticket during his life. Probably, his business determined his behavior and his strategy in life, for he faced death every day, and it made him be careful with his life. Nevertheless, the death of the father shows that the attitude of the family towards real death and death as business is different. The episode in morgue, when Nathaniel tells his son that it is impossible to escape from family business, shows that funeral home is like a prison for the family and they can never leave it. Though Nathaniel is dead, he repeatedly appears in the episode, it proves the idea that death is like a full member of the family. Nate Fisher is introduced to the audience in the “Pilot” as well. He has come to celebrate Christmas with his family but it is evident that he is not hurrying home and chooses to stay in private with a beautiful stranger, Brenda. He is, evidently, reluctant to take up the family business. The flashback of Nate’s childhood justifies his attitude towards family business. It presents the father working at the corpse of the man who used to be their neighbor, with the father’s ashtray on the dead man’s chest. It is clear that such surrounding and the father’s behavior is not normal for the development of a child’s personality. Nate’s inability and unwillingness to cope with family business made his escape, but, as he said, at the age of thirty five he was nobody. The unhealthy atmosphere inside the family is responsible for his professional failures and numerous sexual relations without anything serious. The mother of the family, Ruth, displays her attitude towards death and business in the “Pilot” as well. She finds it unable to see the body of her late husband, though she has seen numerous deceased in her life, but they are all work, personal tragedy is absolutely different thing. The death of her husband makes the mother speak to her daughter for the first t
Introduction According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the global demand for commercial air transport recovered and has since increased from the year 2010 (International Civil Aviation Organization 6). Between the year 2009 and 2010, there was a remarkable demand for scheduled commercial flights, which rose by 4.5 percent globally. This represented positive financial results for the aviation industry. Consequently, in this context of increased demand for commercial flights and the expected growth in the aviation industry, the industry has continued to focus on safety measures to improve outcomes and potential threats in the future. However, increased airport commercialisation has also exposed the industry to increased threats. This essay explores the increased airport commercial activities and threats to the aviation industry. Negative In the year 2010, ICAO noted that there was a resurgence of traffic in the aviation industry. However, there was an increase in the number of accidents estimated at 4.0 for every million departures. This was a slight increase relative to the previous year’s record. The organisation assesses aviation accident cases for scheduled commercial flights based on the United Nations designated regions. Africa recorded the highest rate of regional accidents. It also accounts for the least number of global air traffic volumes (3%). The Asian region had the lowest rate of accident. However, it had the highest number of accidents, which accounted for fatalities (38% represented fatal accidents in the region). The European region had a slightly low rate relative to the global average accident rate. Also, it experiences a few cases of fatalities (8%). About 31% of accidents result in fatalities in Latin America and the Caribbean. The region only accounts for 13% of the commercial scheduled flights. North America continues to record accident rates that are below the world’s average. It had the highest number of accidents, but there were no cases of fatal accidents noted in the year 2010. The Oceanic region also records low rates of air accidents relative to North America. It also did not record any fatal accidents in the year 2010. It is imperative to consider different rates of traffic volumes in different regions to draw a practical conclusion when examining accidents and other negative impacts of increased commercial aviation activities. In the recent reports, ICAO has noted that the number of aviation accidents has slight declined relative to the previous years. However, increased traffic volumes have led to high rates of accidents against millions of flights re
Outline Lowe’s home improvement company is one of the leading distributors and suppliers of household appliances. It has continued to establish more branches nationally and internationally. The contributing factors of its growth are its vision of fulfilling the needs of its customers. True to their words, the company continues to invent means and procedures that will make their products more accessible and appealing to their customers. The company is making good use of the media and modern technology to advertise and market its products. Despite the many competitors, the company still holds a commendable share in the market through the high-profit margins it has recorded. Introduction Lowe’s home improvement is a company that majors in household products. It is one of the household companies that has observed an increased number of customers. Since its inception in 1921, the number of customers has continued to increase which has made the company establish many more branches. Among the activities of this company is selling household appliances for repairing and general maintenance of the house. It is also a company that acts as an agent to sell houses. The company deals in more than forty other items including those that can be provided upon request by customers. One of the major reasons why this company has experienced such an upward trend is because of the marketing strategies that they employ. (Wright, 2003) Major marketing decisions of Lowes Home Improvement One of the major marketing decisions was to capture their customers through the internet. The company has a website that displays the details of its products and also directs them on how and where they can get the products. Through this website, the customers can also give their views on how the company can improve the products that they are offering. Purchase of these products online is possible which makes it easy for international customers (Golin, 2003). Shipment of these products is organized by the company to the customer’s destination. Many more improvements are being made to the website to serve the customers even better. To beat the rising competition in the market, Lowes Company ensures that, their prices are ten percent lower than the price of similar products in other shops. Whenever they receive any information that a similar product that they are dealing in is selling at a lower price, they counter it by cutting down on their prices. This strategy has helped the company to maintain and increase its customers. Customers who wish to acquire a certain property but can not do it due to insufficient funds can be financed. This is usually done through the Lowes project card launched in 2005, the propriety card, and the co-branded visa card. The project cards are for financing major projects of the cu
