Executive Summary The purpose of this paper is to analyze the business strategies of Etisalat Group; as a result, it conducts the industry and company analysis and assesses the strategic options, market shares, sales projections, and various business scenarios of the last three years to understand the company’s performance. The outcome of this report would assist the top management of Etisalat Group to have an expert opinion that would help it to review and restructure the existing strategies, improve the service quality and performance, and identify the new areas of investment. Introduction Etisalat Group is one of the multinational giants in the telecommunications and ICT sector, which started its journey in 1976 as an analog operator in the United Arab Emirates market; now, it is operating in seventeen countries with a market capitalization of the US $36 billion, and working with various technical experts to bring out innovative products and high-quality services. The company established its headquarters in Abu Dhabi, and for the last four decades, it has been consistently fostering its innovative technologies and exploring those in the markets; this has helped it to become the pioneer in the fifth-generation (5G) ICT platforms, and to gain a strong customer base of 163 million globally. The objective of this report is to provide further insight into how the top management of Etisalat Group reviews and renovates the business strategies for sustainable growth in the UAE. Porter’s Five Forces Analysis for Etisalat The threat of New Entrants The risk of new entrants is considerably low since new companies require a large investment to take part in the telecommunication industry; therefore, starting a business in this sector is very hard (Abdullah 1). On the other hand, existing multinational companies have sufficient financial capabilities to enter the UAE telecommunication sector using different entry route strategies; therefore, the government of this country imposed various restrictions and legal barriers in order to decrease the number of competitors in this segment. Abdullah stated that multinational companies implement merger and acquisition strategies ‘to gain competitive advantages’ and share common resources to capture the
Introduction Bullying has always been a problem in schools. Physically stronger kids harass, oppress and intimidate other children whom they perceive as weak or unable to stand-up to them. Bullying can be done verbally or physically and in many cases both tactics are used. Bullying will leave both emotional and physical scars that can negatively impact the development of the victim. While children, parents and school officials are still battling with typical bullying they are now confronted with a new enemy – cyberbullying. The principles developed to combat bullying still apply in this case but children and adults will have to learn another set of rules. In the Digital Age they need to be acquainted on how children use cyberspace and mobile communication devices to defame, destroy, and kill. What is Cyberbullying In simple terms, cyberbullying is bullying using computers, the Internet, and mobile devices for communication. It is like sending long-range missiles that are destructive and yet can be fired from a safe distance and send it anonymously. According to concerned citizens in the fight to stop cyberbullying, the term is used when, “…the victim or bully is a child or a teen” (Make a Difference for Kids, Inc., 2008). If adults use information technology to bully others it is called cyber harassment. It is important to point out the distinction because kids with access to computers can destroy lives as easily as adults. This practice of young boys and girls harassing, intimidating and oppressing other kids are called by other names such as online social cruelty or electronic bullying and according to the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) it can involve:   * Sending mean, vulgar, or threatening messages or images;   * Posting sensitive, private information about another person;   * Pretending to be someone else in order to make that person look bad; and   * Intentionally excluding someone from an online group (HRSA, 2006). Electronic bullying is made possible by personal computers, the world-wide-web, and mobile devices that can instantly send and receive messages. Thus, victims of this type of bullying can find no rest from these attacks and there is no safe haven for them because even at home the bullies can still spew deadly venom through the use of modern technology. The means of attack can be in the form of:   * E-mails or Instant messaging;   * Online School Bulletin Boards;   * Text messages sent on cell phones;   * Web pages;   * Web logs (blogs);   * Chat rooms or discussion groups; and   * Other information communication technologies. The use of e-mails is a preferred choice for bullies because of easy access to sites that offer free e-mail accounts, Yahoo! and Gmail are just a few examples. Moreover, signing up is not only free but it is very easy to create bogus accounts that is almost impossible to trace and the identity of the true owner difficult to ascertain. Cyberbullies can use e-mails to send messages that are cruel, vicious and threatening. Cyberbullies can also steal passwords and then break into the vict
Introduction Laser is one of the latest technological innovations, which uses simulated light emissions for the illumination of tissues. Lasers find wide application in medicine and telecommunications, primarily in passing information. Lasers are important in providing placate to human life and survival. However, like any other technology lasers have disadvantages and advantages in their applications. Lasers involve emitting light, which is usually coherent, monochromatic, and long-ranged. A laser is a type of light radiation within an electromagnetic spectrum, which can induce effects as it flows or passes through matter. Different types of lasers emit different monochromatic waves, which form a broad light spectrum with varying wavelengths. Different types of lasers include ultraviolet laser, X-ray laser, hydrogen laser, and infrared laser. Much of today’s technological advancements and innovations have used the principle of laser technology to provide solutions to human problems, the latest invention being the innovation CD’s and DVD’s technology. TVs, telephones, and fiber optic communication -underpin the internet use principles of laser technology (Karman, McDonald, New, Woerdman, 1999, pp.10-14). Laser light is not visible, though our technological innovations have created the use of lasers in different applications like manufacturing, medicine, and welding to create efficiency. However, lasers have b
The dialogue between Socrates and Euthyphro is focused on the definition of piety or holiness and is set up in a humorous and sarcastic tone. Socrates pretends to be unknowing of a seemingly straightforward concept of piety and asks Euthyphro to educate him on what it really means. In the end, it is shown that neither come to a certain conclusion and Euthyphro realizes that he does not have a slightest clue what piety really means, which leads him to leave in frustration. The dialogue is significant because it makes one think of the definition and understanding of piety, as well as the amount of knowledge a person has. When Socrates and Euthyphro meet, they are both at court for their own trials. Euthyphro came to lay charges of manslaughter against his father for careless actions and negligence that led to a death of another man. Socrates came because he wants to charge Meletus. The true reasons that each one has are questioned and so, Socrates asks Euthyphro how can he really know what is right and holy. Euthyphro shows that he is very knowledgeable and begins to tell Socrates what it means. The fact that it is so hard to define, makes the man confused even more and a realization emerges that it is not as simple as one might think. The first definition that Euthyphro gives pertains to his own actions and that it is the right thing to do. Socrates points out that his actions cannot be a definition of the concept, as actions are merely an example of the qualities that the method or definition contains. The second definition given by Euthyphro defines piety as being “pleasing” in the eyes of the Gods and for them. But Socrates questions the definition of the word “pleasing” and asks how all Gods can agree on one explanation. Socrates creates a doubt that Gods will disagree on the justifications of someone’s actions and it would be almost impossible to prove what was really beneficial or not. The third definition that Euthyphro offers is centered on the sacrifices that people give to Gods, as well as prayers and respect. But Socrates responds with a question of how can sacrifices that humans make to Gods be of benefit to such high beings. Euthyphro responds that they do not need any factual gain but must be simply in approval. This makes the argument return to the beginning where it was established that it is impossible to define what is approved by the Gods and by which standards or criteria (Plato, 2010). In this dialogue and arguments Socrates wants to show Euthyphro that not everything is as simple as it might seem and that certain important things and definitions must be given a lot of thought and explaining before acting in accordance. Socrates gives a type of his own definition but then questions his reasoning. This shows that his end goal was to establish the truth that there is no quick and concrete definiti
The topic of my proposed lifespan development research is “Emotional Intelligence Development.” The research is going to explore the ability of subjects to discern and express emotions and effectively communicate with others throughout their lives. This topic has been select since I believe it is underexplored and might yield results explaining the problems of intergenerational communication. The study will provide further information on the connection between the emotional intelligence development and social life. The study will be conducted as a longitudinal correlation research project with randomly selected subject from several population groups. It will combine elements of the survey with the elements of natural observation. Methodology The subjects of the study will be selected randomly from several population groups based on the social status of the subjects and their living conditions. Groups will be determined based on age and social standing of the participants. They will consist of subjects going through various stages of development from children to people nearing old age. Subjects of the same age group will be further divided into groups based on their social standing. That will ensure that the effects of the environment on the subjects’ development are taken into consideration. The study will be conducted over several years. Annually, the subjects will be asked to fill in a questionnaire with questions pertinent to their level of emotional intelligence development as well as their perceived social position and success in life. The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test will be used to measure the overall level of the subject’s emotional competence which was proven to be effective, if not technically perfect (Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso, 2012). Another series of surveys should target the subject’s colleagues, friends, and family
An individual’s personal skills are based on their determination to develop and learn new information. The close connection between the amount of knowledge and the way it is used brings about positive results. There are several work habits that must be adapted and they relate to the personality type someone has. The technology has made it possible to learn from a distance. A person can familiarize themselves with a culture, people or economy of a country being in a different place altogether. If it is a structured way of learning and someone is taking courses in a different country while staying in their native nation, they must develop a schedule and routine that will allow for effective learning. Any distractions must be set aside and the learning time must be treated as a classroom where all the focus is directed towards the course. As people often work in groups and teams, an individual might have to adjust and organize themselves according to the individuality of others. They must pay close attention to the learning style and interests that other people have. A key to being successful in a group is to be understanding of others and be ready to offer a helping hand in a way of explanation, cooperation and participation. The internet skills are connected to learning and especially, distance learning. The search for information is available and easy to conduct but the filtering of the needed information will take time. There are many websites that contain false or inexact information and so, credible sources are the key to a well informed information search. Social networks have made communication through internet much easier but ethics and moral codes must the guidelines in the said communication, being free of disrespectful and hurtful behavior. University of Phoenix and other online libraries are a great resource for academic articles and books. The collection of all the needed scholarly articles and journals in one place make the information search practical and quick. When using online sources the copying of information must be extremely controlled. Often, it is very tempting to use someone else’s work as your own and people will change the wording or structure of the information in the hope to pass it as their own. This must be avoided as it does not provide an individual with any knowledge and becomes impractical in the long run. Educational institutions have a strict policy towards plagiarism and suspension is not uncommon. The vast amount of information in the libraries, online and books purchased outside of educational institutions create a helpful tool to determine the future career choices and goals of an individual. It is much easier to focus and structurize the work and information load when short term goals are specific and immediate. It is better to start with something that is attainable, so that th
Introduction Hibiscus chocolate is a gluten-free product that is topped with natural hibiscus cream frosting. This chocolate is tender and light with a layer of a rich darn and moist crumb ganache notes balanced with a tart of hibiscus cream topping. The paper explores the process of making this chocolate, ingredients, nutrients, packaging, storage, and other significant steps involved. These steps are explained sequentially. Product Identification Hibiscus chocolate has hibiscus curd and is associated with the Middle Eastern region. This chocolate has a tartness that might make a customer salivate. The product is made of pomegranate almond flour (adds sweetness and brightness), sumac (adds taste), sour plums (adds sourness flavor), squeezed lemon (adds taste), and hibiscus (vitamin C, antioxidants, and minerals in addition to flavor). Over the years, hibiscus has been part of the Latin American, Caribbean, Asian, West African, North African, and Middle Eastern cuisines (Ariyo 2017). Hibiscus can be consumed in the form of eaten savory and sweet dishes and drank or steeped as tea. In this case, hibiscus will be used to make double chocolate crowned with a thick layer of hibiscus curb. The chocolate also has extra hibiscus curb on each side and dotted with raw hibiscus on its top. The hibiscus chocolate is more or less similar to the chocolate cranberry and raspberry. Market and Background Information The hibiscus chocolate is a product that can be consumed by any household, eateries, hotels, institutions, and any other gathering of people who wants to eat chocolate. The product has a pink appearance and a favorite for a birthday, wedding, and other celebratory gatherings. This chocolate is unique because of its crisp nature and sweet-sour after taste. Moreover, the chocolate comes in different shapes, color shades, and sizes. Also, the chocolate can be customized to include additional ingredients suggested by a client (Juhari & Petersen 2018). Fresh hibiscus is not consumed raw but is dried or typically cooled. Hibiscus adds a tangy and nice crunchy bite to chocolate or salads. Specifically, hibiscus curds complement any chocolate by crowning its outer layer besides providing a decorative value. The purpose of hibiscus is more than decoration since it provides a concentrated flavor (Ariyo 2017). Readily available in most markets, dried hibiscus gives the chocolate a purplish pink appearance with unique taste. Nutritional Issue and Product Benefits Hibiscus is rich in minerals, vitamin C, and lots of antioxidants, which help in treating anxiety and hypertension. This means that hibiscus is a significant source of antioxidants and vitamin C to the body of a consumer, irrespective of how it is consumed (Bakare et al. 2013). Therefore, the nutritional value cannot be ignored with the present r
Introduction World War I (WWI) is also known as the Great War of the First World War. It is one of the greatest wars to ever occur in the history of Europe. WWI commenced on July 28 1914 and ended on November 11 1919. This war involved the world’s greatest power assembled in two conflicting forces. One force composed of the Allies and the other group was the central powers. Over seventy military forces took part in the Great War and this included more than 60 million Europeans. It resulted in the death of over nine million people through the use of great technology. The world war one stated in 1914. During this time, the United States remained neutral and the then president Wilson urged the Americans to remain calm and not to involve themselves in the war. However, the United States was not able to maintain its neutrality due to some external forces. Many theories have been developed to explain why the US entered the World War I. Some people believe that, the United States entered into the war to defend itself against the Germans who were trying to violate its rights at the sea. Others believe that, the US never maintained a neutral state and was actually supporting the British. They are still some people who believe that, the US entered into the war to defend itself against the declining economy caused by the war. This paper gives a brief over view of World War I, and how countries fought with each other. It explains the international relations that existed between countries and how these were broken because of the war. The paper further gives an in-depth analysis of how the Germans waged war against the European countries and the circumstances that forced the United States to abandon its neutrality to take part in the Great War. War between Germany and Britain and other Allied countries Germany had about 28 models of U-boats. Five of these models were strong and would withstand the currents from the ocean. These boats measured about 64 meters in length and used two different types of engines that enabled the boats to move on a speed of 27km/h on the surface and 18km/h under water. The U-boats were armed with cannon and held about six torpedoes. The captain of the U-20 (one of the boats that was strongest), was allowed to fire to the ships that came through the blockage zone. This was because the Germany wanted to stop any ship that supplied weapons to Britain (its great rival). However, this did not stop Britain from taking part in the war. To defend themselves, British ships attacked any of the Germany’s submarines anytime they saw them (Hook 1912). This made the U-boats to stay underwater for long periods of time in order to hide from the British ships. On 4 th February 1915, Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm II issued a warning that all British, Russia, and France ship
Introduction First Home Care is a leading facility that offers day support services to individuals with diverse disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The organization’s website is “www.firsthomecare.com”. Some of the beneficiaries include adults and older adolescents. The ultimate objective is to ensure that every patient develops adequate skills that can empower him or her to participate in a wide range of community activities. This paper gives a detailed analysis of First Home Care as my placement agency. Agency Context: Mission, Goals, Structure, Staff, and Clients First Home Care is situated in Portsmouth, Virginia. The agency serves many individuals with a wide range of developmental problems. To achieve its objectives, the agency has outlined a powerful mission statement and goals. Its mission is to improve the quality of different beneficiaries using culturally competent services (“Our philosophy,” n. d.). Additionally, the agency seeks to empower family members and individuals to be part of the treatment or development process. The first goal of the agency is to preserve and strengthen family unity using solution-based services (“Day support services,” n. d.). This is achieved by meeting individuals at their levels of ensuring that adequate support and tools are available to them. The second goal is to offer appropriate skills to individuals so that they can achieve their maximum potential. The institution has a president who monitors most of the operations and services available to different people (“Our philosophy,” n. d.). There are managers in charge of different centers. These professionals coordinate with physicians, psychologists, human services practitioners, and social workers to meet the needs of different beneficiaries. The agency has a human resources (HR) department whose role is to recruit new employees, coordinate operations, and address emerging stakeholders’ needs. Members of staff include social workers, physicians, human services professionals, cooks, nutritionists, psychologists, foster parents, managers, and behavioral therapists. The major clients targeted by this agency include adults and older adolescents with several disabilities (“Day support services,” n. d.). Such individuals receive day support services that can make it easier for them to develop appropriate skills and become valuable in their respective communities. Interventions and Theory I am currently in the institution’s Day Support Services. The ultimate objective behind such services is to ensure that every person with a disability can become useful in his or her community. The targeted adolescents and adults can benefit from different services and skills such as self-management, com
