Strong and high-performing skill areas Among the suggested list of skills, some can be considered my strengths. The first one is patient-, family-, and community- centeredness which is an important domain for an effective leader. First of all, I correctly realize the importance of the environment in which individuals live and the role close people play in it. For this reason, it is critical to creating the appropriate approach that has to consider all characteristics of persons who belong to a particular collective. I am sure that by adhering to the patient-centered approach, a specialist can achieve better results because of the customized care and the ability to consider all existing requirements. For this reason, I devote much attention to the details related to this very aspect as they help to find a common language with various individuals, understand their current states, and form a comfortable environment. The positive climate is key to the improved functioning of the collective and patient-, family-, and community centeredness play a critical role in the cultivation of the needed atmosphere. Relationship management and teamwork is a second area in which I am strong. Any organization consists of individuals who form teams and cooperate to achieve a particular goal and contribute to the development of a company. However, in the course of cooperation people might experience difficulties because of the differences in their perspectives on certain issues (Gordon 2017). These divergences create the basis for conflicts which means that relationship management and teamwork acquire the top priority as the potent tools to solve problems and contribute to the improved work of the organization. My ability to work with people comes from the understanding of their demands, motifs for particular actions, and features of character that precondition various behaviors and responses to certain factors. Effective teamwork skills also rest on my ability to engage in meaningful communication with diverse individuals and establish working relations with them. In such a way, these skills can be useful while organizing the work of the collective. Finally, I can consider the area of communication and trust-building as my other strengths. As it has already been stated, these domains are connected to the previous skills as teamwork and relationship management are impossible without improved communication and trust-building. The better cooperation between the members of the collective can be achieved
Identify and analyze the relevant facts in chronological order of this antitrust case The defendant and the plaintiffs in the case entered into an agreement. The best-laid plan by the government was to regulate the agreements of the companies to enter into a merger. The conditions for the merger asset in the Justice Department were put across to limit the operation of the companies and to make sure that they were allowed to operate. The fares of the airlines had drastically been increased, and several companies wanted to take advantage of the fares. Seeking to form a merger was one of the key moves to facilitate the true earning of the profits. The connection to the United States markets was geared towards providing nonstop services to the customers. The United States Airlines undercut US Airlines’ targeted its nonstop fares. The conflict between the two companies acted to the benefit of consumers. The airlines were offering a high rate of fares that did not match the services. It occurred that consumers were not offered an option of a low-cost alternative. It, therefore, meant that consumers were forced to pay a significantly higher amount for the services. The option of low connecting fare was made unavailable to the consumers. Thus the prices kept rising. The most noticeable effect of the high fare prices was the disruption that the fare occasioned to the entire industry. Major frustrations were expressed by the executives of the airlines. The undercutting by other companies was of significant importance in balancing the market dynamics. The US Airlines responded by lowering the fare for their flights in some of the routes. The other viable option was to take up the fight and compete with the competitors in a bid to force them to abandon their strategy. The President of the US Airlines acknowledged that using a different route network was of significant help to the company. The network structure was a key strategy that required proper planning. US Airlines would adopt less nonstop traffic. The profitability of the route was not the main concern of the company, but the essence of reducing the competition within the industry. The plaintiffs had devised a way of dealing with the problem of low costs in some of the routes. The American executives had allowed and agreed to the advantage fares that were to be eliminated. Coming up with a merger was one of the alternatives the plaintiffs came up with. The large nonstop market was susceptible to the reactionary pricing of other companies that we’re competing with the plaintiff. The American executives were watching the forcing of the prices during a period when the prices were being used to dete
Introduction European countries recorded the 17th century as undoubtedly dangerous due to pestilential epidemics occurrence at the time. The Great Plague of London is one of the notable pandemics, which occurred from 1665 to 1666 (“John Graunt,” 2020). The plague affected many people as it happened in the spring and summer of 1665. It led to the deaths of about 100,000 people, most of who were London residents. At the time, London was anticipated to be about 448 acres of land surrounded by a city wall. Maintaining proper hygiene was difficult due to congestion, as well as open sewage. The residents were also subject to poor sanitation and reckless disposal of rubbish (“John Graunt,” 2020). The below-average living conditions instigated shanties’ formation while rats started inhabiting the structures. In 1894, Alexandre Yersin identified the pandemic’s cause to be a bacterial agent Yersinia pestis , from the rat fleas (“John Graunt,” 2020). The continued exploration of the factors, as well as agents, leading to the spread of pandemics led to a quantitative and qualitative examination and the development of immunization to reduce infections. John Graunt composed a book, namely Natural and Political Observations Made upon the Bills of Mortality , combining the Bills of Mortality data. His quantitative publication demonstrated birth and disease incident patterns, differences between males and females, and newborn death rates (“John Graunt,” 2020). He also reviewed the insufficiencies of the data, including geographical inconsistencies, from which the calc
Humans have always strived for a long, healthy life, so they continuously try to understand what are the factors that make them fit. Healthy People 2020 addressed this issue by analyzing the relationship between the health condition and factors that may affect it. They developed several categories of health determinants to systematize the research and present the data to the general public. Categories of Health Determinants Determinants of health are “the range of personal, social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health status” (Determinants of Health, para. 1). Their categories are social factors, biology and genetics, health services, policymaking, and individual behavior, which, however, should not be analyzed separately. Health is determined by their interrelationships, so effective researches usually analyze a few or all of these categories to present a global picture of what affects human health. Health Services Many people believe that “health care access and financing contribute to overall health” of people of all ages (Adler, Glymour, & Fielding., 2016, p. 1642). Chances are that a baby in a family with access to high-end health services will have a healthy childhood, while a poor child will probably be at risk of inability to get preventive services and vaccination. If an adolescent can afford proper health maintenance, he/she is prone to be healthier than his/her peer lacking its availability. An adult with disabilities will have a much more complicated life if he/she cannot provide himself/herself with appropriate health maintenance since disability requires additional care. Similarly, if a frail elderly person’s health needs are not met, the chances are that his/her life expectancy will be lower than that of a person with access to high-end health maintenance. Summing up, determinants of health help people understand what aspects of their life to improve to be healthy. All the categories should be addressed together since they reinforce each other and affect the health condition of a person from different perspectives. One of the most crucial determinants, however, is health services, since they directly affect human health from very childhood to old age.
Political/Regulatory Environment The Canadian government is committed at ensuring that the country attains a high rate of economic development. Consequently, it promotes the establishment of businesses in different economic sectors 1 . One of the ways through which the government attains this goal is by ensuring that entrepreneurs access permits and licenses easily to run businesses. Additionally, the government has instituted strong regulations aimed at fostering effective business operations by incorporating regulations aimed at protecting customers, for example by ensuring that customers are offered healthy food, safe equipment, and facilities. Ontario Camping Association is also committed at ensuring that competitors do not engage in unhealthy competitive practices, and this aspect has played an important role in ensuring that Camp Wahanowin operates in an effective business environment. Demographic Environment Businesses have to ensure that they are effective in targeting their customers 2 . One of the factors taken into consideration relates to the society’s demographic characteristics. In the course of its operation, the camp has mainly targeted children both in the domestic and international market. Social-Cultural Environment In their decision making process, consumers are influenced by friends and relatives to purchase a particular product or service 3 . In the course of its operation, Camp Wahanowin has managed to offer high quality camping services. The firm’s management has effectively developed a strong market reputation. The management team is also cognizant of the prevailing cultural diversity 4 . Consequently, it has designed the camp in such a way that individuals of diverse cultural background can patronize the facility. The facility has also managed to nurture a positive perception amongst customers. By ensuring that customers attain a high level of satisfaction, the facility can enhance market awareness 5 . This assertion emanates from the fact that customers spread
Article’s summary The term discourse makers and pragmatic makers are used interchangeably to portray coherence and interaction in speech. Common elements like “you know”, “well, I mean” and in fact yes are some of these elements. Pragmatic makers are common in most conversations but it is noted that the extent of their application cannot be evaluated. In the article “Utterances production and interpretation: A discourse-pragmatic study on pragmatic makers in English speeches”, Donhong attempts to find out or to evaluate the popularity of pragmatic makers in speeches and monologues. Donhong also analyzes different types of pragmatic markers such as elaborative makers, controversial markers and management markers. In his analysis Donghong compare the use of the three different marker by looking at the makers that are commonly used in speech and the ones that are least used. Donhong also attempts to give the reasons for these differences basing on the research study. Method In the study to analyze the use of pragmatic markers, the necessary data is obtained from an analysis of several speeches. In the analysis different types of speeches are used, the variation in these speeches is brought about by the differences in audience, time, the writer background and the intended purpose. The method evaluates the intensiveness and the extensiveness of use of pragmatic markers and therefore it is both quantitative and qualitative. In the study, the analysis is done on both written and oral speech from one sentence to another. In the analysis, PDF and Wordsmith 3.0 are employed to analyze the data and put it into nine categories. Analysis From the analysis, different frequencies on the use of pragmatic makers are obtained and therefore in order to analyze the obtained data effectively the data is converted into standardized frequencies. The standardized frequencies are obtained from the PDF and Wordsmith data. The data is then presented on a table and a frequency distribution graph. Findings and conclusions In the modern study of linguistics, the availability of the adaptation theory of linguistics and the relevance theory makes the analysis of pragmatic markers application possible. Using these two theories Donghong investigates the frequency in the use of pragmatic makers to determine their popularity and relevance in speech. From his analysis, Donghong concludes that pragmatic makers are commonly applied in public speech and goes on to claim that in most public speeches three pragmatic makers are used in every one hundred words. There are different types or categories of pragmatic markers and the choice of the markers depends on their suitability in speech. The intended message and the audience also play an important role in the det
Executive Summary There can be a risk to the application of loyalty programs. Firms continually compete on being the ones with the most comprehensive packages to meet the desires of their customers. The Purpose of this study is to understand that how the Emirates Airline can increase the number of their loyal customer with the help of the Skyward program. Literature review explores role of frequent flier programs, hub premium advantages, global airline partnerships and opportunities for growth. It reveals insights about consumer behavior, earned miles as a currency, peculiarities of business travelers and the overall nature of the frequent flier programs such as Skyward Program. The research gathers both qualitative and quantitative data from interviews, with five management staff members at Emirates Airlines and from secondary data retrieved from peer reviewed articles and publications. The data shows a significant increase in membership and route coverage for the Skyward Program arising from increased partnerships in Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa, and America. Last year, the Emirates increased its code sharing service to reach 14 airlines. This allowed the Emirates to enjoy hub advantages in several airports, in addition to its Dubai hub. The partnership network has increased to 12 airlines, 1 bank, 6 car rental companies, 23 hotels, and 12 retail and lifestyle businesses. Customer numbers increased from 27.5 million in 2009/10 to 49.3 million in 2014/15. The paper recommends that the Emirates should add more routes to codeshare partnerships; it should expand partners under codeshare. It should increase options for transferability of miles beyond codeshare and current partnerships. It should also limit avenues for spending miles and influence customer behavior towards taking more flights. Lastly, the Emirates should increase marketing efforts that target existing Skyward program members. Introduction Company loyalty programs continue to boom in mature markets and emerging markets alike. Their growth has also attracted research, with the primary aim being to evaluate the appeal and efficiency of the programs as business development tools for various organizations that use them (Brierley, 2012). Loyalty programs are supposed to create customer loyalty, and this can be measured in the number of times customers prefer to use the same service or buy the same products. Nevertheless, there are additional variables that affect stability and sustainability of firm-customer relationship that exists within the framework of loyalty programs such as frequent flier programs (Mitch-Stuart, Inc., 2013). Purpose of Study The purpose of this study is to understand that how the Emirates Airline can increase the number of their loyal customer with the help of the Skyward program. Skyward program is an award-winning initiative by Emirates Airline meant to enhance the value of its services to its most loyal customers. The company has consistently worked on making the service simple, and it has ensured th
Summary In the early 1990’s, America crime rate was extremely high and most criminologists predicted that this trend would continue in the coming years. However, there was a sharp drop in all categories of crime and this turnaround astounded most experts (Levitt and Dubner 4). These experts formulated some rational theories that justified the drop in the rate of crime. Some factors such as the soaring 1990 economy, an increase in gun control laws and superior police strategies were attributed to the sharp drop in crime. This article focuses on these reasons that were thought to have led to reduction of the rising crime rates experienced in United States in the 1990s and refutes the claims flaunted by the theorists (Levitt and Dubner 2). However, the article brings out another aspect on how legalizing abortion in most states within United States might have contributed to the reduction of crime in the 1990s. Problem Definition The problem identified by the author is why the crime rate dropped drastically in 1990 yet all the experts predicted it would continue rising. The author looks into the theoretical explanations given by experts on what would have caused this sharp reduction in crime in the United States and brings out the weaknesses in these theories. The chapter is named, “Where have all criminals gone”, leaving it open for discussion on all explanations to where criminals disappeared to in 1990 (Levitt and Dubner 118). The author introduces the chapter by narrating how Nicolae Ceausescu banned abortion in Romania after taking over power in 1966 since he aimed at strengthening the country by boosting its population. His dreams were realized since the birthrate doubled one year after banning abortion in Romania. However, many of the children born did not get all the basic needs since such privileges were only reserved for the communist elite or Ceausescu family. These children led a miserable life and formed the large block of students and teenagers who demonstrated against Ceausescu oppressive rule in 1989. The dictator was eventually ousted in 1989 and executed by a firing squad (Levitt and Dubner 118). By narrating this story, the author brings out the argument how banning abortion in most American states just like Romania, contributed to the birth of unwanted children, who most of the times ended up committing crimes. Relevant Information In trying to explain the sudden drop of crime rate in the early 1990, the author looks at the eight explanations given by citations from published articles in ten leading circulation papers found in the LexisNexis database from 1991 to 2001. From the data base, innovative policing strategies were associated to have contributed greatly to crime reduction with 52 citations. It was followed by increased dependence on prisons with 47 citations, while a change in the crack as well as other drug markets was cited by 33 articles. The fourth explanation that is deemed to have contributed to the reduction in crime rate is the aging population as cited by 32 articles. Tougher gun laws cited by 32 articles came in 5 th , while a strong economy leading to a reduction in un
Introduction Amazon is among the largest Internet-based companies in the world, retailing an enormous variety of products all over the planet. One of its primary attractions lies in the customer service provided by the website, which includes a range of favorable policies, personalized suggestions, a comfortable user interface, and other measures. The success of the company, particularly the positive experience associated with its use, comes from the vast amounts of data on its customers, which it collects and analyzes. This essay investigates the primary data gathering measures employed by Amazon and their influence on the company’s marketing strategies. Customer Data Collection A significant amount of information is collected when a person utilizes Amazon’s website, especially when he or she makes a purchase. According to Bhat, Bose, and N (2018), the company collects data such as the shipping address for orders, tracking data, and personal information used in the payment process while also requesting that the user answers some questions. It also frequently introduces innovative approaches, such as the recently opened automated stores, which track customers and can add or remove listings from their electronic checklist as the visitor puts an item into the shopping cart or back on the shelf. Due to the company’s massive user base, it can obtain significant amounts of knowledge in this manner. Experimentation and Random Trials In addition to collecting information about every customer, Amazon attempts to learn about the general patterns of various categories of people. Chaffey (2018) describes the company’s use of experiments to gather detailed information and test innovations. Amazon sometimes shows different variants of an innovative measure to random users and evaluates their response when deciding which of the competing solutions to implement. This approach allows the company to avoid the inaccuracy that can be introduced by the use of focus groups and other traditional marketing tools. Furthermore, Amazon is aware that its target audience is evolving and changing. Therefore, it continuously gathers up-to-date data and simultaneously tests a variety of innovations to stay ahead of its customers and retain the ability to satisfy them. Big Data Analysis However, Amazon is not content with basic data analysis, as the amount of data on the Internet can provide highly detailed and accurate guesses on most customers through the use of specialized analysis tools. Amazon uses big data in a variety of services, achieving a variety of goals. According to Wills (2018), those include predicting whether a customer will buy a product and stocking that variety of items in a nearby warehouse, and allowing other retailers to use the toolset and gather more data. It is also possible that the company purchases information from other data aggregation services, although the proposition is difficult to confirm, as Amazon does not describe its marketing approaches insignificant detail. Conclusion Amazon is the world’s most successful on
