Executive Summary In the contemporary hotel industry, only a minority of hotels consider themselves luxurious hotels. This is because of the intuition that luxurious hotels embrace a definite aura that their client continually returns, however, the cost. Innovations and remodeling of hotels around Nchoe Hotel have resulted in a decline in financial performance due to the escape of her clientele to the remodeled hotels. As a result, Nchoe Hotel has designed a project to upgrade and remodel her rooms to a four-star standard from the three-star level. In the long run, Nchoe Hotel aims at restoring her financial performance while offering the best quality of comfort to her guests at the best possible prices in order to counter the prevailing competitiveness using remodeling as the competitive advantage. Project Purpose The hotel industry is highly affected by changes in advances relating to interior designs and cutlery, as well as hospitality fluctuations. Hotel and hospitality clients are attracted by the physical outlook and the quality of service offered by the hotel. In addition, retention of customers in such an industry is dependent on the infrastructure commanded by the hotel and the quality of service delivered to the customers (Butscher, Vidal & Dimier, 2009; Scoviak, 2007). For instance, the interior design of the reception hall provides a first impression of the hotel, including the quality of service expected on the basis of how the reception secretaries handle a first-time client. The outlook of room services is important to any hotel that aspires to command a large client share, especially for clients that book hotels for long stays within the facility. In this report, for anonymity, the hotel under review will be known as Nchoe Hotel. This report provides a step-by-step explanation of how room upgrading will be implemented in order to change the hotel’s outlook from a three-star to a four-star hotel. In the report, the design of the changes required will be explored, providing the implementers with an explication of the rationale behind each change. In the recent past, hotels in the region have implemented a change plan to institute competitiveness in the industry. As a result, the majority of the hotels were able to acquire a large clientele with a loss of a large customer base commanded by Nchoe Hotel. The quality of the rooms is poor. The bedding requires a complete change. The furniture is old fashioned and of poor quality and standard with a three-star hotel. Due to the poor and pathetic conditions of the hotel’s rooms, there has been a gradual decline in the numbers of customers attending the hotel with a culminating decline in revenue from the hotel. Following a closer look into the factors leading to the decline, the management of the hotel was able to deduce the heightened competition posed by other similar facilities in the region, which have upgraded their facilities, and improved their service delivery (Berman & Knight, 2008; Cook, 2004). As a result, the Nchoe Hotel has defined the projected plan of upgrading the hotel’s rooms from a three-star to a four-
Introduction In an increasingly globalized world, trade barriers are frowned upon as not only restrictive but as agents that reduce productivity and encourage stagnation of technology. Trade barriers are restrictions that the government of a country may introduce to protect its local industries. Many countries such as India and other Asian countries, South American countries, use trade barriers as an effective tool to safeguard local industries such as agriculture, mining, fishing and other sectors. Canada is a signatory to WTO, NAFTA and other trade treaties and has technically removed the tariff barriers like extra import duty, VAT and other punitive taxes that make a product expensive. However, the government has an unfortunate history of equating removal of tariffs as an infraction on the national sovereignty. As a result, there have been a number of non-tariff barriers – NBT that has succeeded in only dragging down various industrial sectors. Since 2000, about 50% of Canada’s GDP is met through exports. Many other industries such as forestry, agriculture, dairy and meat processing and the touchy fishing industry have received overt protectionist policies from the government. It is also to be agreed that the critics who oppose the removal of trade barriers are also partly right since there has been an increase in outsourcing and flight of capital. Fisheries particularly need protection with the Japanese and Korean trawler factories almost wiping the vast nesting grounds of fishes. However, the labor productivity of Canada when compared to that of US is dismally low and it has attributed to the protective policies of the government that causes more harm than good (Feenstra, 2009). This paper examines and assesses the extent of trade barriers, both tariff and non-tariff that Canada has imposed on its trading partners. An assessment would also be performed to understand various sartorial contributions. Rationale for the Paper Trade barriers have quickly become the dirty word in international trade and protectionist policies are frowned down in advanced economies. The whole idea is that if manufacturers from other countries can manufacture and sell products at cheaper rates in a target country than the local manufacturers, then the government should not impose tariff barriers and make the imports expensive. By undertaking such a measure, citizens of the target nation are denied access to cheaper products and the local manufacturers continue their low productivity processes since there is no fear or threat for the business. In the case of Canada, an assessment of the existing trade barriers would help to develop a policy that would stimulate local industries and yet allow its citizens access to cheaper products. A proper assessment of the trade policy and trade barriers would help Canada to make its argument strong besides helping to improve the productivity. Henc
Resources’ availability and the absence of factors that might contribute to the discomfort of an individual are essential conditions needed to sustain one’s health and preventing health concerns from developing. Specifically, healthcare facilities located in close proximity to a patient represent a critical requirement, especially for aging patients that are likely to have difficulties accessing the provided healthcare options. Due to the multiple opportunities for patient access to required services that the local infrastructure provides, the target community can be described as rich in health management resources for the target population. The opportunity for accessing a local wellness center is one of the main advantages that the infrastructure of the local community has. Specifically, the Wellcare Senior Center remains open to aging patients in need for support, providing its clients not only with essential nursing services but also with dining options. Specifically, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are offered at the center, with respective menus reflecting various dietary needs of the target population. The specified approach toward managing patients’ issues is remarkably sensible since aging people require specific dieting options that need to support their treatment and provide opportunities for receiving the required amount of nutrients (Bonder & Dal Bello-Haas, 2017). Therefore, the specified approach reflects the sensibility and care of the organization’s managers and leaders. Additionally, the provision of aid with nursing assessments, as well as other procedures and routine actions, proves that t
In every banking institution, training of tellers is one of the most important activities in enhancing the success of organizations. For instance, bank tellers are the ones who handle cash. Any mess up in this area can cause big losses to an institution, a factor that can significantly affect its performance. Therefore, training of bank tellers is an important practice in every organization. There are various methods through which bank tellers can be trained. However, these methods are different in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the most effective methods that will lead to optimal results while minimizing on training expenses. Combination Of The Best Training Methods Recommended for BB & T’s bank tellers As the nation’s top leading financial institutions in North Carolina, BB &T Corporation requires need to have effective training methods in order to maximize the services given to their customers in order to maintain customer loyalty while maximizing profits. However, the organization is currently experiencing a problem since its annual turnover rate for its bank tellers is extremely high. This raises a question on the training methods that are currently applied in the organization. There are several methods that BB & T can use in training its employees in order to reduce the annual turnover rate. Effective integration of the training methods plays a pivotal role in determining the outcome of the training process (Larbi-Apau and Moseley, 2003). Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the methods applied yields optimal outcomes. One of the training methods that can be recommendable for BB & T is the lecture method. Lecture is one of the presentation methods that have been applied by many organizations in the past. While training employees through the lecture method, the trainer communicates verbally to the learners the materials they are supposed to teach (Baker, 2007). In order for the organization to achieve maximum results for its training objective, there is a need to combine the lecture training with the self learning process. Through the lectures, employees should be taught about the basic telling aspects and then be induced into a self-directed learning process. Self-directed learning process is a learning method that places the learning responsibility to the learners (Hickman, 2011). In this case, employees will be more flexible in their learning process. However, the content of the learning is set and then the employees would cover this content in their own way and rate. There is however a need to have a trainer who will help in answering the questions. Advantages of the Selected Methods As already noted, it is necessary for every organization to choose the training methods that is feasible with its training goals. The methods proposed above are very important to the organizatio
FNP Strengths Family Nurse Practitioners (FNPs) possess various strengths that make it easier for them to deliver quality patient support. The first one is clarity of values. These professionals are guided by a wide range of values such as integrity, honor, trust, empathy, commitment, and justice (Kim & Windsor, 2015). FNPs should have a clear understanding of these values in order to use them adequately. They should go further to come up with personal values that inform their practices. Staying centered is a powerful concept whereby “the practitioner is not easily led astray” (Makabe, Takagai, Asanuma, Ohtomo, & Kimura, 2014, p. 153). The individual does not stay out of his or her balance. The skill guides nurses to deal with obstacles and issues that might affect their goals. The competent FNP will seek and handle feedback intelligently. The approach will ensure new ideas capable of improving performance are acquired. The other strength revolves around self care, nutrition, safety, and exercise. A combination of these elements can guide FNPs to meet their mental, physical, and emotional needs (Kim & Windsor, 2015). They will exercise regularly, promote safety, and eat healthy food materials. A competent FNP establishes the best relationships with his or her family members. These individuals will definitely support the FNP throughout his or her career path. Social relationships are critical because they promote the practitioner’s philosophy. Work-life balance is critical for FNPs who want to succeed. The concept encourages nurses to strike a balance between their personal and career lives. Exercises and relaxation strategies should be used to support this strength. Leadership styles are useful because they guide FNPs to mentor their nurse aids, caregivers, and followers (Kim & Windsor, 2015). The style dictates the quality of care available to more patients. The other strength is action. The FNP is a professional who identifies the best actions that can improve healthcare delivery. This kind of strategy guides nurses to work hard and eventually deliver positive results. The FNP should always have a powerful model that can be used to improve these key areas. The concept of lifelong learning can guide FNPs to improve their leadership concepts, handle conflicts, and interact positively with their workmates. Work-life balance should be improved by embracing new strategies that can minimize stress (Kim & Windsor, 2015). A balanced approach to every situation can help FNPs to stay centered and eventually realize their professional goals. Plan to Enhance Self-Awareness and Personal Being FNPs must design sustainable plans to support their self-awareness and personal being goals. The first step begins by conducting a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis. This analysis will outline the areas that should be improved and opportunities that can support the plan. The FNP will go further to engage in self-reflection. This practice will help the professional to identify the unique gaps and achievements that define his or her personal wellbei
Introduction To start, it seems reasonable to compare Innovation Driven Entrepreneurship (IDE) and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as the discussion on the chosen countries will be given within the scope of the former. IDEs are expected to reach the global market scale, as well as a significant range of clients; thus, initial investments here are riskier if comparing with SMEs, business outcomes of which are more predictable. IDE gives new and untested ideas – innovations – and undiscovered aspects take place (Murray & Budden, 2017). Meanwhile, SMEs are a source of well-understood ideas for a local market. Their success is more secured, but IDEs possess a greater potential. Nowadays, given the tendency to turn to “digital” and “smart” economies, IDEs are a preferable target for adapting governmental policies, initiatives, and standards. In the framework of the stimulation of Innovative Driven Entrepreneurship, Germany, the Republic of Korea, Israel, and the UAE will be analyzed. Germany The stimulation of IDEs in Germany is largely entrusted not to federal agencies or higher education institutions as to regional infrastructure organizations. The regions are more than federal centers focused on the needs IDE, as well as on the problems of industrial enterprises located in specific territories (Kuhlmann & Rip, 2018). Through the use of a regional approach and the formation of territorial innovation networks, in modern Germany, the work of industry and research teams is mutually consistent and more efficient. In Germany, the KfW – the German development bank – plays an active role in the implementation of the principle of supporting the innovation activity of IDEs at the national level (BMWI, 2021a). A combined scheme is used to provide finance for the development of R&D and replenishment of current assets in the form of subsidies by the Government of Germany of interest rates on loans. Mobilization of venture capital for the development of an innovative economy is also an instrument of state policy in promoting the interests of IDEs. An example of a modern program that stimulates innovative activity is the ERP fund – it implements EU initiatives in Germany (BMWI, 2021b). The KfW takes an equity stake in the authorized capital of technology companies on the same financial terms as the lead investor, participating in the formation of venture capital to finance R&D and innovation.

Characteristics of the target market for the 3M Greptile Grip Golf Glove The target market for Grip Golf Glove market is highly influenced by demographic characteristics. One of the characteristics of its market is the increased population size that is interested in golf. This increase has been linked with the high number of children that were born between 1946 and 1964. The increased number of childbirths at that time is the result of the current mature people who understand golf. Most of the people within this age are now at their peak earning point in life. They have money to spend for leisure. In fact, researches show that most of the employees in their 50s spend most of their money set aside for leisure in golf and golf equipments. O’Hara (2011, p. 11) affirms that expectations of the market are also dynamic since there are many people to consider when making changes in a brand before releasing it to the market. It is also worth noting that the population is in employment. Hence, it has an increased purchasing power. The second characteristic of the golf market is that it consists of people from all parts of the United States. Lim and Patterson (2008, p.115) argue that, although golf was a preserve for those who lived in the eastern and northern parts of the nation, it has now spread to the west and south. The employed and the retired population therefore shifted to the west and south in order to enjoy a good leisure time throughout the year. The market for golf and golf equipment has consequently shifted to the south and west. Lim and Patterson (2008, p. 115) affirm that the demand for golf and golf equipments including gloves, shoes, balls, bags, and other items has therefore become high in the west and south. Investors in golf and golf equipments should therefore shift their attention to these places. The other characteristic of the golf market in the United States is that it has been on the decline. The declining trend in golf courses has been attributed to the economic recession that hit the United States and other nations since 2007. The recession has significantly reduced the spendable income on the side of the government and the citizenry. Prices of items have also shifted and the interest rate in banks has hiked. This makes it difficult for citizens to borrow money some of which is spent in golf as leisure. This situation has affected the golf market. For instance Won, Sunhwan, and Kleiber (2009, p. 5) argue that, by 2008, the number of golf courses reduced to 16,000. It is therefore worth noting that the purchasing power for golf equipment has reduced with the increase in the number of golf courses because of the economic recession. Reduction in purchasing power will translate to low demand for golf equipments. However, golf has become a popular source of leisure for all. Unlike in t
Introduction The trivialization of school in the present educational organization for teens has been posited in the public; however, it is one vital issue that is being debated on lately. Is it really right for schools to be abolished from the teen’s system of education? This question has been a vital issue in the present age educational structure. According to research carried out by many educational researchers lately, it was discovered that the two-year schooling scheme is irrelevant and obsolete in the educational structure for teen’s, and should be abolished from their system of education or scheme of learning. Under contemporary rules of the management of public affairs and human capital formation, limitless faith in mass schooling has swept across the earth. But at times families do not share this religious feeling of great warmth and intensity for education, or other demands, such as for the labour power of their children, impinge on demand for schooling. This, consecutively, results in difference in educational success, reinforcing inequalities across ethnic groups and social classes (Fuller, 2006). Botstein once argued in his book Jefferson’s Children that “the American schools are obsolete”. In detail, the dissemination that the current method of education has entirely strangled the scheme is an important issue which has to be scrutinized critically. The public analysis on this matter is far-off from the mainstream. Besides this, the suggestion of eradicating this scheme in education has emancipated teacher’s recession, thereby, rises of unemployment in the teaching industry. Nevertheless, the recent innovation is due to the archaic system being practiced in the dissemination of knowledge into the teens. In addition to these points, the public has to understand that teacher cannot be everything to all simultaneously. Additionally, anyone who decides to take teaching as a profession should understand that they have embarked on a psychologically treacherous profession. Nonetheless, the public should comprehend that personal success depends on whatever is disseminated by the teachers into the young minds, because teens absorb whatever is being propagated into their minds, hence reverberating these metaphors across the ages. The teachers conversely are the models of creativity in the flexible minds of future leaders. Responsibilities of a teacher In the first chapter of the book “on being a teacher” titled “why are we here? What is the job that we are being asked to do? By Jonathan Kozol, he expatiated that painstaking teachers who have researched the foundation of open education is confronted with choice making (Kozol, 2009, p.3). He further stated that with all sincerity in themselves and colleagues, public school is now regarded as outmoded and barbarous. This thought, according to him is both observable to students and the teachers alike, bu
