Introduction Background Studies have attempted to identify factors that impact the attitudes of youths towards entrepreneurship in the UAE. Entrepreneurship is the best remedy to the unemployment issue and economic development since many youths venture into Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) (Mohammed, 2019). According to Al-Sartawi et al. (2019), entrepreneurship is one of the most significant economic forces in recent years. However, it is necessary to draw up a specific program, addressing such important factors as the current generation’s thought process and their expectations. (Pathak, 2019). The UAE has been seen to possess a large population of youths over recent years. The growing youth population prefers to work in the public sector, also because private companies often hire foreigners for less pay (Al Saiqal, 2015). Nevertheless, youths are the future decision-makers, adults, leaders, and business operators. Therefore, their contribution towards entrepreneurship through investments poses a right bearing on the future of the UAE’s business relation. Studies have shown that the presence of existing business organizations may set the trend for similar entrepreneurial startups in the future. (Pathak, 2019). Investigating the attitude of youths towards entrepreneurship in UAE is significant in studies related to it. Entrepreneurship offers a transformational passage that aims to achieve and attain the sustainable and diversifiable goals that are deemed to yield development. Attitude can be seen as a psychological set of beliefs, emotions, and behaviors related to entrepreneurial activities. Youth refers to an individual who is in the transition period from childhood dependence and independent adulthood. The attitude can be resulting from either upbringing or experience and bears a stronger influence on a youth’s behavior (Ashour & Hui, 2016). Thus, it is important to give young people a proper upbringing to shape their lives. An entrepreneur refers to an individual who can use the potentially available resources in a suitable form possible to have exceptionally perfect performance. An entrepreneur should, therefore, be knowledgeable, possess financial aid, and have proper relating skills. Entrepreneurship is the ability to take advantage of the resources at your disposal by combining them with smart strategies to avoid failure (Gilliard, 2018). Alternatively, it can be an attempt by an individual or a group of persons to formulate new ideas for a business or create an avenue for the expansion of a business that already exists (Mohammed, 2019). The entrepreneurial network and competition are powerful tools and drivers of the state’s economic growth (Prasetyo, 2019). Therefore, entrepreneurship is an avenue for introducing a new competitive strategy that will contribute to productivity. Objectives The objectives of this study are:   * To study the attitude of yo
Introduction The food industry has undergone massive changes over the past several decades, yet most of the organizations that constituted the foundation thereof have retained their presence in the original markets due to the success of these companies. Nestlé is one of those companies, with the brand has become a household name and cemented its presence in the American market, as well as a range of others on all continents (Appiah-Adu & Amoako 2016). However, to remain relevant in the global market and attract new audiences, the company needs to expand and embrace other markets that have high potential as the platform for Nestlé’s further growth. China is one of the economic areas that contain a wide variety of opportunities for organizations that operate in the food industry. Moreover, recent alterations in the demand for domestic food have created even greater chances for foreign companies to succeed in the Chinese food market (United States Department of Agriculture 2019). The goal of the report is to evaluate Nestlé’s chances for succeeding in the selected area and define the strategy that will help the firm to gain an immediate following among the new audiences. Entering into the Chinese market for Nestlé is necessitated by the alterations in the market trends and the overall focus of the food industry. Similar to other areas of trade, the designated industry has been experiencing a strong influence of globalization as a driving force behind the changes in its focus and goals. Globalization has had a tremendous effect on companies’ approach toward marketing creating the need for expansion, Nestlé not being an exception (Romaniuk, Dawes & Nenycz-Thiel 2018). The described changes have entailed the reconsideration of the process of corporate governance within large companies, causing the phenomenon of foreign direct investment (FDI) to emerge (Ng’ambi 2015). FDI is traditionally defined as the “investment involving a long-term relationship and reflecting a lasting interest and control by a resident entity in pone economy” (Ng’ambi 2015, p. 14). FDI can be seen as a method of keeping a corporate brand easily recognizable, at the same time shaping it to meet the expectations and needs of the global market (Romaniuk, Dawes & Nenycz-Thiel 2018). For Nestlé, it will be critical to focus on the promotion of FDI as a tool for keeping its brand image consistent. This paper follows a rigid structure that allows navigating its content effectively. After the introduction, in which general facts about the topic are established, a more detailed description of Nestlé, its brand, and “Butterfingers” as the key product that will be introduced into the Chinese market will be provided. Afterward, the Chinese food market will be described and evaluated in terms of its friendliness for Nestlé an
The participants that are observed are a group of young people, most possibly students. There are four males and three females in the group. Each of them varies in appearance. There are two African Americans, four whites, and one female apparently of Asian descent. All of the group members appear to belong to the middle to upper middle class. They also seem healthy, energetic, and eager to participate in the conversation. They have most likely been friends for a long time and have not seen each other recently. The nonverbal communication behavior evaluated in this observation is the usage of contact codes described by Hecht et al. (8). The accentuated points are tactile communication behaviors such as touches. Additionally, there is an effort to analyze the group members’ understanding of their personal space. In other words, how close they are willing to let their friends go within the personal space, and if there will be any attempts to prevent them from going further. Therefore, the attention is on “tactile communication, or haptics” (Hecht et 8). The place that the observation is taking place in is a café downtown. It is a small but comfortable place with dim lighting and a lot of attention towards design and interior in general. The place is shaped to create the feel

Despite having been written in the 19 th century, Harriet Jacob’s “ Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl” has attracted both positive and negative criticism due to its relevance in contemporary studies. In this novel published in the early 1800s, Jacobs recorded her experiences on the horrors of being a female slave in America. While Jacob assumes an apologetic stance about the behavior of slaves, she still manages to highlight the plight and the perils of the persecuted race. In this novel, Jacob largely dwells on the issue of slavery, specifically the perspective of the female slave. While Jacobs’ intentions were to tell the world what t is to be a female slave, she manages, to highlight other prevalent social ills that have bedeviled the human race through out history. Suffice to state that the perception of some of the issues highlighted through the novel has been affected by the passing of time. However, analyzing the novel in light of contemporary thinking shows the timelessness of the novel. Regardless of the varied perceptions there are a number of social ills that are intertwined with the theme of slavery. It is impossible to refer to slavery without mentioning race relations. Slavery is perceived in relation to the master servant relations between the whites and the blacks. Furthermore, sexual perversion, parental negligence as well as general moral decadence cannot be discussed without considering the influence of slavery. Therefore, Jacobs uses slavery to illuminate the existence of societal ills such as moral decadence, racism, sexual harassment and parental negligence, Harriet’s main intention of writing this book was to highlight the perils of slavery especially to women, yet through slavery, the negative effects parental irresponsibility are observed. Suffice to say that the term parental responsibility was conceived differently in the 19 th century America than it is today. In the 19 th century America, the perception of the term was heavily influenced by social relations, rather than paternity. While the definition of parental negligence is taken in the 21 st century perception, the evidence is taken from Jacobs’ 19 th century occurrences. It is imperative to state that both the black slaves and the white masters, in today’s’ perception of the meaning of the phrase, would be equally accused of negligence of parental duties. Jacobs’ appeals to the reader to understand the peculiar pains the black parents go through implying that the blacks are as powerless (Mian 10). Yet despite Jacobs appeal such powerlessness would still not excuse them from being accused of parental negligence in the 21 st century. As symbolized through Aunt Martha the fact that slave mothers allowed their children to be sold as slaves without much will to resist would be taken as gross violation of parental responsibilities in today’s democratic world. Yet the whites too are not innocent of parental negligence. In “ Incidents in the Life of a
Introduction The United States of America has undertaken a prohibition campaign, which has been referred to as the War on Drugs and has been assisted and supported by a number of countries. In this regard, the illegal trade of drugs is being combated by the abovementioned participating countries of the campaign. In addition, the government deems a few psychoactive substances as harmful for them, and therefore, the supply of these substances is being curbed, and their demand is being diminished by the participants of the campaign. Moreover, a set of laws, as well as policies, have been included in this initiative, and these policies are trying their best that production, as well as consumption of these substances, must be discouraged around the world. In this regard, we will try to understand the thought and ideas that are behind the war on drugs and will analyze the reliability of the need for this war on drugs in the world. In order to understand any subject, it is very important to understand the basis of the matter, and therefore, it is very imperative to know the history and background of the war on drugs, which can help in better understanding the necessity of the war on drugs. History In its broadest sense, the shipment of opium was prohibited by China and the United States in the year 1880, which can be considered as the beginning of the War on Drugs. In this regard, drug prohibition was practiced during the most widely known period in American history during the years from 1920 to the year 1933 by the United States alcohol prohibition. (Wisotsky, 1986) However, drug prohibition was formally enhanced by the designing of a new set of initiatives and policies by President Richard Nixon in the year 1971. In the year 1988, centralization of the coordination for the drug-related legislative was done by the creation of the Office of National Drug Control Policy. (Fisher, 2006) Cost In order to understand the effectiveness of any project, the cost is considered as one of the important factors to measure efficiency and reliability. Thus, the analysis of the cost of the Drugs on War is very imperative. Satisfaction of rehabilitation costs, salaries, and payment of the government officials and employees involved in the operations and activities related to the war on drugs have been included in the estimation of the cost of the war. (Wisotsky, 1986) In addition, the supply of drugs is being controlled by a number of resources that require funds, which have also been included in the cost of the war. In the year 2005, approximately twelve billion dollars was the estimated cost of the funds that were being used for drug control during the War on Drugs. This estimated cost is indicated by the report of the United States government. In addition, around thirty billion dollars were indicated as being used for the incarceration of drug law offenders in the prisons and centers, according to another report by the United States government. Particularly, expenses related to the police protection were $9.1 billion, which were followed by legal adjudication and negotiation with $4.5 billion. Furthermore, state and federal corrections expens

Having identified key areas, it underlines the involvement of information systems in the business process as well as the improvements they bring. The essay also identifies an issue Best Buy is currently facing, and describes the role that information systems can play in improving the situation. Best Buy in brief Best Buy is an American retailing company, operating in the North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Richard M. Schulze and Gary Smoliak founded it in 1966. The company specializes in consumer electronic products and services. It is now “the world’s largest multi-channel consumer electronics retailer with stores in the United States, Canada, China, Europe, and Mexico” (Best Buy, par. 1). With 1 billion visits to its websites annually, Best Buy is ranked the 11 th biggest online retailer in the North America (Best Buy, par. 1).

Introduction In the modern world, organizations are increasingly becoming active and uneven (Barthe 2010, p. 94). Instabilities force organizations to form groups and teams that are expected to work together in order to achieve organizational goals and objectives. An organization relies on teams and groups in delivering services to clients. There is increased complexity regarding the composition of teams, skill requirement, and risk management. In high reliability organizations such as the telecommunication company, teamwork plays a critical role in enhancing service delivery. A small mistake would result in serious losses, as well as complaints from customers. Working in a team enabled me to learn various coping skills (Horlick-Jones 1995, p. 310). I realized that teamwork is a tool that can be utilized to achieve high results. In the Nigerian network industry, competition is stiff implying that organizations must develop some strategies in order to outsmart their competitors. MRN employs teamwork in order to conquer its rivals. Working with other experts in the organization assisted me in understanding that teamwork entails three strategies. One of the strategies employed in enhancing teamwork is grouping individuals according to capabilities. This is upon realization that people differ in terms of talent. For instance, I was placed under the supervision of a network professional, with adequate skills on matters related to networking. This was to ensure that I learn the basics of networking in detail. In the team, there were individuals with task-oriented skills while others were team-oriented. It was the role of the manager to balance the two groups (Geschwind 2001, p. 69). In the team, the management ensured that organizational goals are achieved by modifying the tasks of individuals and the organization structure. This was to ensure workflow in the organization. Team competency was guaranteed in the organization through continuous training. The management at MRN capitalized on team training in enhancing team performance. Scholars define team training as the application of set of instructions that depend on well-tested apparatus. This apparatus includes simulator, lectures, and videos. In the organization, the management ensured that employees are provided with relevant training lessons each week. The main aim of management was to ensure that team training replicates the general values of learning theory. In this regard, training was meant to present information regarding basic group behaviors. Training provided team members with a chance to practice the skills they learned on a weekly basis. Working under the supervision of an expert was vital to my career because I could get feedback as regards to my performance (Dressel 2001, p. 39). Drawing on relevant theory and concepts, would this be described as a group or a team? Usually, there is a difference between a group and a team. However, many people fail to note the difference. A team is internally structured while the group is externally structured. A team has objectives, with tasks for each team member. On the other hand, a gro
