The Business Needs Having considered the requirements offered by the owner, it has been concluded that the ABC Video needs to create software that is going to meet the business needs. First of all, the system is going to account for the available products and differentiate between prices, thus, different products are going to cost differently. Second, the system is going to unite all the stores with the system allowing access from any spot to any store by means of authorized access. Additionally, the customers will be given an opportunity to see the products available online, to rent the items they need and to make sure that it will be available when they come. It will increase the number of purchases. Finally, the system is going to have the statistics devoted to the sellers and the number of sold items. The professionalism and effectiveness of the employees are going to be measured. The Project Purpose The overall goal of the ABC Video Store Project is to make sure that the business needs are met. Therefore, the new rental project is going to be directed at the business to consumer electronic commerce, as we plan to increase the number of customers by means of online renting (Rainer, & Cegielski, 2010). Moreover, the price is going to be different as the system will have an opportunity to differentiate between mediums and to offer the customers the products they need by the price they deserve. The opportunity to check the products in all shops by means of this new software will allow regulating the delivery in the shops and controlling the selling. It will help improve the company’s performance (Turban, & Volonino, 2009). Moreover, this project will allow the owner to control the sellers of all shops no matter where he is at the moment.

Introduction Like all other major contributors in the American economy, the corporate American enterprise has a long and winding history that dates back up to the 18 th century. The race for prominence and a competitive edge that has characterized the remarkable and memorable series of events within the business industry has seen it grow into a modern capitalist system that continues to adjust and re adjust to modern day trends and demands. This paper seeks to illustrate how people, places and/or events have been interrelated and impacted on the various responses that have been projected buy the business enterprise. The approach used will employ historical concepts and issues as they are interrelated and bridged through time. This approach will form the basis of a tentative and detailed understanding of the historical miles in business as well as the role that they have played in modifying and demystifying the business environment in America. Background The commercial jurisprudence in America has suffered numerous scholarly business history drivers that reflect the aggressiveness of the environment of the early-twentieth century. One such stimulus emerged with the rise of an American historical profession that was motivated by the ideology of the time and was based on a rigorous document-based scholarship system as opposed to skill recognition. The trend indicated by most professional historians was one that invested solely on public policy issues alongside a variety of strongly identified criticisms of big business (Scranton, 1991). It was this era of commerce that saw the birth of the term progressive history Unknown to many this would form one of the most politically influential concept and idea in the history of business and academic writing. Aside from the rather obvious political or ideological inclinations, it was common ground among historians rejected the notion critics developed to the effect that the generalization of history was mere propaganda. The stage was set for the implementation of the scholarship approach that emphasized on a comprehensive and objective document-based system. This period saw the development of methodologies by thinkers who attempted to create a comparison between the various players in the industrial sector through comparison of specifically identified industries and firms displayed a comparability element. This however would not last long since there was a need to provide a contemporary solution to the ever increasing concerns of the business world. The early and mid 19 th century was heavily characterized by the reliance on specific institutions of higher learning in as far as ideology policy and research. Such an institutional initiative was made in 1927 when the Harvard Business School developed a specific branch that was mandated with the creation of a body that would evaluate the concerns of historical scholarship. This department developed a report that focused specifically on the basic factors affecting the operation and survival of business in the competi
Introduction The ultimate message, conveyed by Euripides’s tragedy “Medea” has been discussed from a variety of different perspectives; with most critics preferring to view Medea’s revenge on Jason as such that signified the strength of her resolution to address gender-based oppression. There is a certain rationale in this kind of suggestions – after all, Medea had gone about expressing her contempt with women’s lot on numerous occasions: “The man who was everything to me, my own husband, has turned out to be the worst of men. This I know is true. Of all things with life and understanding, we women are the most unfortunate” (Euripides, 260). Closer analysis However, the closer analysis of motives, contained in Euripides’ tragedy, reveals the fact that, while proceeding with her plans to address Jason’s treachery, Medea was the least concerned with trying to appease her ego. After having dealt with the experience of utter emotional distress, Medea became transfigured – the petty aspects of her ruined relationship with Jason had simply ceased to affect Media’s existential mode, with tragedy’s main character gradually assuming the posture of an unemotional enforcer of justice: “Oh Zeus, and Justice, child of Zeus, and flaming Helios—now, my friends, we’ll triumph over all my enemies. The plans I’ve made have been set in motion. I’m confident my enemies will pay (Euripides, 910). And, by doing it, Medea had proven herself to be more of a man than Jason, in the psychological context of this word, despite Jason’s pathetic attempts to rationalize his behavior logically. As it appears from tragedy’s context, Jason continued to remain a firm believer in his manliness, which is exactly why he thought that his seemingly logical argumentation would cause Medea to get back to her senses. Yet, unlike Medea, Jason had failed to realize that the notion of abstract justice serves as the metaphysical foundation for the concept of rationale – therefore, Jason’s logical appeals to Medea could not possibly have any effect, whatsoever. Being a woman, Medea was able to intuitively perceive Jason’s reasoning as utterly fallacious, even before he would open his mouth. Yet, it was not Medea’s emotional contempt with her former husband, which prompted her to consider subjecting him to the worst possible vengeance, but the fact that Jason had broken marital wows with her: “The honour in an oath has gone. And throughout wide Hellas there’s no shame any more” (Euripides, 440). The reason why people take oaths is to declare their willingness to address life’s challenges within a framework of law and order. Most human laws are exactly the laws because they correspond to the laws of nature. And, there is only one price for transgressing the laws of nature – death. For example, when a person tries to defy the physical law of gravity by jumping off the cliff without a parachute – he will inevitably fall and die. Therefore, the fact that Jason had broken up his oaths with such apparent ease can only have one possible explanation – Jason’s psyche has nev
Qualitative article The qualitative research methodology underlines the issue of the lack of relevant findings in the field of nicotine replacement therapy in people and the necessity of treatment, especially in the early stages of implementation. Such an approach falls under the contiguity of the philosophical perspective of recognizing vulnerable populations with psychotic disorders and the applied methodology (Page 6, paragraph 3, sentence 1). The objective of the following analysis aims to refine an existing smoking cessation intervention for the populations with mental disorders. The qualitative methodology, which implies open discussions and conversational communication with the research subjects, supports the objective (Wilson et al., 2019). It helps identify the best promising treatment based on theoretical treatment models, developing the procedures, and collecting data while providing intervention (Wilson et al., 2019). Thus, the research question opens fully with the support of relevant methodology (P3; p1; s1). The data collection methods enhance the qualitative research methodology as it is based on an inductive, data-focused approach that preludes hypothesis testing (Wilson et al., 2019). A cohort design is specifically applied to ensure proper data collection in sustaining qualitative intervention (P7; p2; s2). The interpretation of results is performed at the end of each cohort to analyze the data from participant interviews and app utilization. The weekly staff meetings, combined with qualitative methodology, allowed for careful interpretation of the outcomes and tailoring of the treatment (P14; p4; s6). Moreover, the research was purely scientific and was based on numerical data, so there was no evidence of researchers’ cult
Introduction This paper investigates the economic feasibility of two business plans developed by three friends: Alex, Felix, and Sarah. The first one is a burger and hot dog business, which targets students in a small town. In contrast, the second plan involves establishing a Middle Eastern-style confectionery that will sell sweet bakery items to students from local universities. This report will explain the merits and demerits of the two plans with the goal of finding out areas to tweak for improved performance. Part of the analysis involves an examination of the business proposals for market fit. Overall, there will be a discussion of four key issues: the main types of target markets for both establishments, the economic profit business owners should expect to earn, the opportunity cost of choosing each proposal, and when the businesses should acquire new employees. The section below explains the types of markets for both businesses. Types of Markets for the Businesses According to Castilhos, Dolbec, and Veresiu (2017), there are four main typologies of markets in business: consumer, business, government, and institutional. A business market is characterized by an environment where the main clients are “other businesses.” In other words, the common type of relationship that exists in this space is business-to-business (B2B) (Castilhos, Dolbec & Veresiu 2017). Comparatively, a government market exists when public sector agencies buy goods and services (Castilhos, Dolbec & Veresiu 2017). Therefore, products are often sold to government departments and agencies, such as its ministries, hospitals, and similar entities. In an institutional market, organizations that are founded on religious, social, or professional grounds are the main clients. They may include foundations, non-profit organizations, religious centers, and the likes (Castilhos, Dolbec & Veresiu 2017). The confectionary and hot dog business plans are ideal for the consumer market segment because their products appeal to household consumers. Furthermore, clients usually buy goods for their personal or family consumption and do not share a close relationship with one another (Kjellberg & Olson 2017; Papaoikonomou & Alarcón 2017). There are many types of consumers in this market segment because the quantities of goods sold are relatively small and spread over a wide variety of product categories (Kjellberg & Olson 2017; Papaoikonomou & Alarcón 2017). According to Kjeldgaard et al. (2017), Giesler and Fischer (2017), small-scale consumption and the lack of close relationships among buyers are common features of consumer markets. The two business plans highlighted in this document fit this type of market framework because the sale of hot dogs, burgers, and Middle Eastern-styled bakery items, appeal to unrelated consumers who buy goods frequently (Kjellberg & Olson 2017; Papaoikonomou & Alarcón 2017). It is important for business ow
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is a type of computer-controlled production that creates three-dimensional objects by connecting layers of material together, using a digital file as a blueprint. This innovative method of manufacturing can be used in the creation of various tools, components, and objects that were normally created using human labor or assembling. Recently, 3D-printing technology has been used to manufacture food and food-related supplies, such as cups, mugs, containers, and other utensils. 3D printing is different from robotics-based food manufacturing in both the use of initial components and the technology required to do so. The process has the potential to revolutionize food manufacturing by allowing endless possibilities for shape, color, flavor, texture, and nutrition customization (Lipton 198). 3D printing typically revolves around the use of three types of materials, which include natively printable materials, non-printable traditional food materials, and alternative ingredients. Sun et al. report two types of recipes used in 3D-food printing, which include element-based recipes and traditional recipes (“An Overview of 3D Printing Technologies for Food Fabrication” 1606). The former is typically implemented in the production of simple foods and components, whereas the latter is used in combined culinary, with the implementation of both natural and printed ingredients. The creation of 3D-printed food carries massive implications for food activism and solving world hunger. The production of nutritious foods in large quantities, as well as meat-like substances, is capable of reducing humanity’s reliance on animal farms and transferring to an ethically wholesome diet (Liu 87). In addition, it would enable impoverished nations susceptible to drought, climatic catastrophes, and wars to facilitate domestic food production. Lastly, there is the potential to significantly streamline and cheapen foods for the majority of people worldwide, freeing up goods and materials for other pursuits (Liu 89). Nevertheless, the creation of foods and food-related products also comes with significant administrative and health risks. Due to the relative novelty of the technology, the long-term effects of 3D-printed foods on humans are not studied enough. Primary concerns include the use of dangerous substances and materials in the machine and its components, which may contaminate food (Sun et al., “3D Foo
Abstract In the developing, overpopulated countries, child labor is often institutionalized for economic reasons, further perpetuating multi-generational poverty. Indian law is not concerned with abolishing child labor and fails in regulating it while the children are exploited and harmed. Until eighteen years of age, the child cannot own their labor; therefore, parents may sell these labor rights or even their child. Moreover, fourteen is the minimum age for working in dangerous conditions, while in Nigeria and the Philippines the age is eighteen. The Nigerian legal instruments as to the worst forms of child labor, especially child trafficking, are in concert with international law; however, the problem of poverty needs to be further addressed. In the Philippines, though child labor laws are based on internationally accepted approaches, the penalization of victims occurs, as punishment for violations is imposed upon parents, further perpetuating the problem. In conclusion, child labor is a systemic issue, and the laws on child employment need to be reflective of it. Introduction Child labor is one of the crucial issues the world still faces today. International laws provide regulation of child employment; however, this paper argues that in developing countries the local legislature often is more permissible. Thus, the problem becomes institutionalized, and the cycle of poverty perpetuated. This paper will examine the legislature on the problem in developing countries such as India, the Philippines, and Nigeria by critically analyzing specific academic articles. Child Labor Law in India: Ramanathan’s perspective Usha Ramanathan in his 2016 article “On Engaging with the Law: Revisiting Child Labour” on the Indian child labor laws examines the inefficiency of the existing corpus juris in regulating the matter. Children in India work in shops, houses, and fields. They are employed in multiple workspaces and industries not regulated by law, as, for example, the begging on the street in India is commonly realized by children. An Overview of Legislature Ramanathan states that “the Children (Pledging of Labour) Act (CLPRA) of 1933 presumes the capacity of a parent to pledge the labor of a child: a statement in law acknowledging that till majority (i.e., 18 years) a child cannot own even her own labor” (2016, pp. 264-265). As a result, not only is the child unable to enter into a legal contract of employment, but the parents have the right to sell rights to the child’s labor, or even to the child as a whole. The implications of the country’s economic need for the employment of children are thoroughly discussed, as are other factors, such as the public perception of the issue, and
China Reunified The Sui dynasty was a powerful Chinese dynasty that existed between 589 and 618 (Duiker and Spielvogel, 2006). After the end of The Sui dynasty, the Tang dynasty emerged and it existed between 618 and 917 (Duiker and Spielvogel, 2006). On the other hand, the Song dynasty existed between 960 and 1279 and during this era, many positive changes occurred (Duiker and Spielvogel, 2006). This paper will discuss social, economical, and political changes that occurred in these three dynasties. Sui dynasty Social structure: After the death of emperor Wen, his song Yang took over the government; he made many social structural changes to the dynasty (Hansen, 2000). Yang extended Sui dynasty and emphasized on Confucianism culture. Furthermore, he restored the Confucianism education system (Hansen, 2000). Political structure: During the reign of Sui dynasty, both emperor Wen and Yang established strong militaries, which were very successful (Ebrey, Walthall and Palais, 2009). Emporor Yang sent soldiers to Vietnam where they became victorious. In fact, the strong Sui’s army was victories against the Champa Kingdom. Economical structure: Emperor Wen improved the state of economy by building better infrastructures (Hansen, 2000). In addition to this, he established
Strengths and Problems at the Company J.P. Hunt is a large retailing company in Boston. The Company sells different products such as furniture, appliances, and apparels. The retailing industry has been recording an increasing rate of employee turnover. The rate of employee turnover is capable of affecting the performance of every business organization. The above company enjoys a set of strengths. The company is a leading retailer in the United States. The supervisory behavior in the corporation is also acceptable. Most of the employees are aware of such behaviors. Every company in the industry records similar results. The workflow planning is efficient for managers. The managers also experience the highest level of cooperation. This retailing company provides positive rewards to its managers. These practices explain why most of the employees support the company’s strategy (Legge, 2005). Every employee also experiences a level of autonomy. This practice has encouraged the employees to continue working for the company (Ivancevich, Konopaske, & Matteson, 2013). The company also maintains the best gender balance. The company pays uncompetitive remunerations and salaries to its supervisors and non-supervisors. The practice increases the level of employee turnover. The company lags behind when it comes to rewarding its employees. The other possible challenge affecting the company is the ambiguity associated with every organizational practice (Wiley, 2007). The managers do not cooperate with the non-supervisors. Most of the supervisors and non-supervisors are unhappy with their working conditions. The managers experience the best workflow planning. The American retailing industry should undertake some of the best measures in order to deal with the challenge. Suggestions to Resolve the Above Problems This case study explains why this retailing industry continues to record an increasing level of employee turnover. The presented data explains why the company should address its problems by fosters employee development. This practice should support the needs of both the non-supervisors and the supervisors. The managers should always mentor every non-supervisor in the business. According to Ton & Huckman (2008), the company should also communicate its objectives to every new employee. The approach will ensure every employee understands his or her duties in the company. The company should use the approach to employ and retain its employees. The “nature of communication between a manager and his or her employees is critical in every sector” (Vries, Bakker-Pieper, & Oostenveld, 2010, p. 74). This company should foster open communication. The plan will support the needs of every stakeholder. The issue of satisfaction is necessary towards dealing with the above problems. The level of supervision for these employees is also
