Introduction In analyzing the internal and external environment of the two companies, Walmart and Coca Cola, we shall need to use an environmental scan. Environmental Scanning: This involves “careful monitoring of an organization’s internal and external environments for detecting early signs of opportunities and threats that may influence its current and future plans. In comparison, surveillance is confined to a specific objective or a narrow sector” (Carpenter & Sanders, 2009). Internal Environmental and External Environment Coca Cola’s internal environment is basically comprised of its business controls which comprise of fundamental attributes including: proficiency in production technique, by utilization of its workforce’s management expertise and suitable communication networks. Continuous monitoring of the internal environment has gone a long way in avoiding ineffectiveness in any stage of the production line. Concerning the external environment of Coke, it has been observed that it consists of dominant forces which can bring transformations that produce opportunities and threats in the beverage market. The PEST analysis is an instrumental tool for evaluating the marketing environment as it looks into Political, economic, social and technological aspects of the prevailing environment. Coca Cola PEST analysis Political: Negative political circumstances in international markets can upset Coke’s businesses given that 71% of its net operating revenues come from sales in worldwide markets. Economic: Alterations in foreign currencies and instability in interest rates distress financial results due to the fact that majority of Coke’s revenues and expenses are in foreign currencies. Social: As people pursue healthier lifestyle trends, the non-alcoholic beverage industry is affected because of the aspect of diet sodas and bottled water and the demand connected to them. Technological change: Technological advancements like internet can be used for efficient advertising. Cans and plastic bottles (borne of new technology) that come to substitute the previous glass bottles make the product more appealing. All in all, new technology amplifies the quality of the product (Cheesman, 2004). Walmart PEST analysis Political: Walmart ascertained that they were vigilant of the political situation of all countries they have conducted their business in and have also made sure that they have a rational stand regarding political issues. Wal-Mart is constantly prepared for any difficulties pertaining to the political sector. E
The concept of utility, as a model utilized in the distribution of healthcare resources, contends that clients or patients have the right to access satisfactory healthcare services. Owing to the scarcity of resources within the healthcare sector, it is not the best model since not all citizens would have the privilege of accessing healthcare services equitably. Therefore, the biggest problem with using utility as a method of distributing healthcare resources is the perception of healthcare services being a product whereby contractual terms would dictate those capable of having its access. The challenge would then be in the complexity of distinguishing those to prioritize in the medical schemes because some can afford the services while some cannot. Healthcare is a fundamental right with the distribution of health resources needed to be done equitably despite the ability to afford it. Allocation of healthcare resources based on the utility approach would tend to privatize healthcare access, with the downtrodden in the society being the least in the cadre of entry, which would then contradict the access to healthcare services (Aguilera, 2020). An essential healthcare resource is medical personnel who utilize their expertise in providing curative care to patients. The utility approach would then contend that physicians and nurses use their expertise and experience as an economic asset that they would charge and offer to those capable of affording them. Therefore, the fiduciary principle that it would advance would lead to segregation in access to healthcare and further entrench bias within the health sector (Puaschunder, 2021). Application of the fiduciary principle would contend that competing rights have to be analyzed to determine the client with the utmost freedom to the given healthcare service. Concurrently, healthcare resources would be prioritized within the regions and patient groups that would be deemed to have legitimate rights. Legitimate rights tend to be drawn from a positive outcome that would be considered necessary by society. The cost-benefit analysis in the utility model would also be difficult to comprehend, since some clinical conditions tend to have higher incidences than others do. The utility can be used constructively within the healthcare sector despite the problem identified in the paragraph above. Its constructive use would be applicable where it is merged with the social service model that provides that the quality or nature of service provision needs to be advanced equally to all the country’s citizens (Cicellin et al., 2019). In such a case, irrespective of an individual’s socioeconomic status, one would have the right to access quality healthcare. Therefore, the constructive use of utility in healthcare would ensure that the government is the primary provider of healthcare services, and taxes are utilized to distribute healthcare services based on geographical factors and the prioritization
Introduction Immigration in America originally began after the U.S. proclaimed independence; however, a few laws were imposed to reduce the number of potential new settlers. In addition, Americans blamed Chinese immigrants for low wages and the unemployment rate, which further influenced the ban on Asians to move to the U.S. The new laws granted black people their freedom from slavery and were mainly related to Chinese individuals. Still, most immigrants came from Europe, and restrictions for Asians did not reduce the numbers considerably, which severely affected the American system. However, in 1965, the Hart-Celler Immigration Act made the immigration of numerous races illegal, forcing them to hide from the police and live in the U.S. under constant pressure. When German Immigrants Were America’s Undesirables America’s attitude to German immigrants used to be highly damaging since they were recognized as rural people with insufficient knowledge of English and a lack of skills. The German diaspora influenced the U.S. significantly; people ran their beer breweries, newspapers, and German-speaking schools. Furthermore, Americans started to fear immigrants since they could have been still loyal to Kaiser and were not attempting to integrate into American culture. On and whole, the war only increased suspicions of Americans toward Germans, and they were recognized as a threat to the residents’ safety. The Trump Family’s Immigrant Story In 1885, Friedrich Trump illegally sought peace in the U.S. from the military service in his motherland, Germany. He hid his heritage and pretended to be Scandinavian to avert possible repercussions of his immigration. Friedrich’s family was full of immigrants, and only his one relative was indeed born in America and spoke English as his first language. Friedrich and his wife settled in New York City and had three children. Fred, Donald Trump’s father, was the middle child and soon became a successful businessman in his city. Fred married Mary MacLeod, who was Scottish and frequently returned to her hometown. Overall, Donald Trump’s international origins distinguished him from the U.S. presidents considerably, and the fact that two of his wives were immigrants granted him an exceptional reputation among politicians. Born in the USA: The Immigrant Son Who Fought for Birthright Citizenship Wong Kim Ark was born in San Francisco to his Chinese immigrant parents, who came to the U.S. to work on railroads. However, a soon signed Chinese Exclusion Act restricted Chinese from entering the country and becoming naturalized citizens. This law provoked numerous protests and disapproval from the Asian immigrants, including Wong’s parents. Even though Wong was born in America, he was denied his return to the country despite the paper proving he was born in the USA. Consequently, he was trying to argue this decision with a U.S. attorney, who further proclaimed that he remained a Chinese person despite his birthplace. The case was then brought to Supreme Court, which eventually announced Wo
Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is an organization that is situated in Kentucky in the United States of America. The organization begun from a humble setting but with time it has managed to establish many branches in the US and beyond boarders. The success of this organization is owed to the effective leadership manifested in its leaders. This paper will focus on the concepts of leadership that have contributed to the prowess of this organization. KFC is one of the most outstanding chains of fast food joints. It deals with foods that are made from chicken and other table birds. The organization has many branches that are under the leadership of specific people. The headquarters of this organization are very keen when it comes to selecting branch managers because it is not any one that can be a leader. Besides, KFC has been able to embrace gender equality in its levels of management. This has enabled the firm to be more diverse in its employee selection. Foti and Hauenstein (2007) explain that most people feel that leadership cannot be acquired through learning because they think that leadership is an inborn quality for some people or gender. To some extent this is true but then it does not mean that those who were not born to be leaders cannot make good leaders. All that matters while selecting leaders are their qualities because everyone would want to become a leader but then if they do not have the qualities that are required they cannot guide others. According to Tihemore (2003), some people are only interested in leadership because of the material gain that is associated with it, such as good pay and other incentives. What they forget is that when one becomes a leader it is not enjoyable as people make it sound because a leader bears most responsibilities and in case things go wrong the leader continues to be blamed even after he or she has quit from that position. For instance, President George Bush will continue to be blamed for the recession that took place during his regime and there is nothing he can do to justify himself. The behavior of a leader is very important because it can influence his/her performance and that of his/her juniors. In the case of KFC the leaders who head the branches and departments are people who exhibit high degree of honesty and loyalty. This is a crucial element to KFC, considering that this organization has a secret recipe that should never be revealed to anyone. This means that if the recipe was revealed to a leader who is not loyal to this organization, he/she would share it with the competitors which could cause the organization to loose many of its customers. Furthermore, the behavior of a leader should be reflected in his/her juniors because one can never preach water and drink wine. A leader should be the role model of his/her subjects because that is what commands respect towards him/her. Yukl (2006) argues that a good leader should be brave and stand strong even when things are not working as expected. This implies that when tough decisions have to be made the leader has to stand on his ground even whe
The process of forming states is not characterized by ease. It involves many different processes, including cultural strategies of strength. It is believed that this aspect in the form of actions of social agents is of particular importance. This is because they occupy a central place in such processes as the formation of alliances and the establishment of dominance relations. Understanding this concept can give a better understanding of the creation of Western Europe, China, the Islamic World, and India. First, it is necessary to understand what a social strategy of power is and what significance it has. Thus, it is defined as a particular area of practice where the creators of mass media have cultural influences and act as agents of social change. Thus, these sources form and influence public opinion, which may affect the formation of states. Gledhill emphasizes that the main reason for the difference between state and stateless societies is the centralization and non-centralization of power. Thus, the absence of the second aspect is expressed in inequality, and the absence of citizenship is associated with decentralization and vice versa with equality. Therefore, in conclusion, to understand the emergence of the state in the case of Western Europe, China, the Islamic World, and India, it is necessary to consider the culture strategy of power. Therefore, the author makes an attempt to distance from the generally accepted European principles and views on the role of social anthropology and factors in Chapter 3. In addition to many other political and economic factors, social influence is of significant importance. Social agents form public opinion and contribute to the formation of opinions. In this way, there is a relationship in the creation of the states of Europe, China, the Islamic World, and India and the social strategies of the authorities.
The topic that I have selected for the educational program is ‘Domestic Violence against Women’. Domestic violence is one of the most major menaces in society these days. It keeps on increasing as the tension, stress, and other causes of this problem increase. There is a need to do something about this issue because otherwise, the women of our society may remain oppressed forever. The target audience for my educational program would be women from middle and lower-income groups because this is where domestic violence is most prevalent. These women are most likely to become victims of domestic violence and these women are most likely to feel oppressed. This educational program will make them realize that they are not alone and this will also make them aware of the choices they have. The reason why I have chosen this as the topic for my educational program is that victims of domestic violence often feel that they do not have any rights and hence are compelled to live such a life. They give up hope and feel that there is nothing that can be done. These women need a reason to stand up for themselves. This might include anything from getting their spouses or any other family member therapy that might improve the situation or it may also include taking legal action against the person responsible for domestic violence. The following references and resource material will be used for my program. Annotated bibliography The American College of Obstetricians and Gy
Introduction Advancements in technology hinder numerous aspects in their essence, possessing both positive and negative influence on the sphere of cyberspace. Various modern developments offer substantial advantages to the authorities and specialised agencies in designing robust strategies and tools directed at combating the issue of cybercrime. However, high computer misuse and fraud rates can be connected to the information technology improvements that serve as a ‘fertile ground’ for the crimes (Chawki, Darwish, Khan, & Tyagi, 2015, p. 4). Consequently, it is critical to investigate the issue of the ongoing expansion of digital platforms and tools and its relation to the emergence of electronic crimes in the UK. Statistical analysis of the data provided by the Office for National Statistics, the assessment of existing literature and designing of surveys with the authorities’ members can provide the foundation for the research. Aims   * To investigate the connection between rapid technological development and high rates of cybercrime and fraud in the UK.   * To investigate the potential influence of technology advancements on the possibility to implement additional and more sophisticated security measures to decrease the level of cybercrime and fraud. Objectives   * To conduct a substantial literature review on the topic of cybercrime and fraud rates in the UK.   * To analyse statistical data provided by the Office for National Statistics and set aside the trends in cybercrime and fraud within the last year.   * To assess current protection, safety, and security measures undertaken by the authorities in the attempts to combat cybercrime and fraud.   * To address the reasons behind high rates of cybercrime and fraudulent activities. Why is This Research Worth Doing? Technological developments rapidly enter numerous aspects of individuals’ lives and business operations, which creates a substantial ground for the emergence of related crimes. The active integration of information technology offers multiple advantages but, at the same time, hinders potential threats for the safety and trustworthiness of information and individuals. Technological proliferation has shaped the way individuals live and, as of 2013, there were more than 35 million Internet users in the UK (Holt, Bossler, & Seigried-Spellar, 2015). This number implicates the potential target audience for computer abuse. The global expansion of technological integration led “to the digitalisation of sensitive financial and government information,” as well as private data and the creation of massive databases (Holt & Bossler, 2015). In such a way, a foundation with numerous opportunities for both digital misuse growth and the implementation of new security measures exists in the field. Another significant factor that points out the necessity of this research is the seriousness of potential cybercrime dangers. Digital space offers various possibilities for the commitment of electronic abuses, which highlights the need for “regulatory measures and policing in national strategies” (Lavorgna & Sergi, 2016, p. 171). It implies how severe the incidents can be and how much harm
When discussing Parkinson’s Disease (PD), the patient’s care, both from the community and healthcare professionals, is a concern. Therefore, my topic of interest is the care and treatment of people suffering from PD and how their lives could be improved. I chose this topic because it is empathetic seeing patients struggling independently without proper care from the community and the healthcare. The topic is a matter of concern because helping the vulnerable in the community creates an inclusive environment for all. Moreover, caring for PD patients is a health concern issue because, without proper intervention, patients suffering from this condition could develop worse conditions and adversely affect their lives. I believe that PD is treatable, and patients put under proper medication show minimal difficulties coping with their lives. In researching the topic, the keywords to use are ‘appropriate caring for patients with Parkinson’s Disease, which yields a variety of nursing journals to choose from.   * P – Patients and people affected by Parkinson’s Disease (PD).   * I – How does collaborative care and disease education helps to improve care management among patients who have Parkinson’s Disease? Is it worth educating members of society about PD? And what effects could it bring to patients suffering from this condition?   * C – Compares to patients’ data with no collaborative care and victims surrounded by uninformed people about the disease.   * O – Improves PD patients’ care management and care in general.   * T – Over a 24-week time frame. For the sustainability of this project, it is important to provide supporting evidence on the importance of collaborative and disease education among the community members. Therefore, I intend to exhaust several nursing journals concerning caring for people and patients with Parkinson’s Disease. The targeted nursing journals whose content presents the importance of PD education and studies promoting collaborative care for these victims. This project aims primarily to prove the importance of PD education and the need for awareness of this condition in the community. Finally, at the end of the specified period, the behaviors and the ease of coping with the condition among PD patients will be compared with stored data when the community was not informed of the PD. Therefore, there is a high expectation of a positive result regarding efficient care and ease in managing PD patients. My research concerning PD patients’ care continues as I found this article as important as the two discussed articles. This article’s main point is shifting care of the PD patients from hospitals to community care. According to Aye et al. (2020), integrated multidisciplinary care in collaboration with other healthcare professionals is the key to managing PD patients and their conditions. Moreover, the article presents insufficient expertise, poor interdisciplinary collaboration, and communication to deliver care to PD patients as the core challenges facing the shifting process. Since full shifting to community patient-centric care would be difficult, the research proposes programs such as PD traini
Health is a concept that carries a relative character and depends on several determinants, one of which is age. Even though a common saying states that money cannot buy good health, the reality proves the opposite. The process of acquisition and maintenance of a desired level of health depends on the financial investment one is ready or able to make for their health once such need arises. Two main factors contribute to the accessibility of good healthcare for the population – adequate income and the affordability of health care services. The latter determinant is dictated by the resource allocation in society. In contemporary healthcare “the allocation of health care resources involves a societal determination of what resources should be devoted to a particular program” (Smith, 2002). In other words, the resources are allocated and assigned based on the relative scale and the estimated needs of the population. Ethically, the main criteria for resource allocation are equitability and cost-effectiveness (Brock & Wikler, 2006). Cost-effectiveness deals with the costs and benefits of services that are evaluated based on the financial expenditures and health improvements they provide; whereas equitability stands for the way the costs and benefits are distributed across the society (Brock & Wikler, 2006). Discussing how the health benefits and resources are allocated between different generations, it is important to mention that, in this case, the patients and their needs are not viewed individually but are generalized based on the statistical variables for each generation (UKCEN, 2011). The fact that the returns for prenatal health care are high, whereas it may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep an acutely ill, elderly person alive means that health care practices targeting younger populations are much more cost-effective, whereas those for the older people require a lot of spending and have unstable and insignificant benefits. American health care has been experiencing a financial crisis for a long while. The monetary issues can be addressed with the help of a more cost-effective orientation in service delivery. However, such an approach assumes that the older generation will be denied some health care services after it reaches a certain age. For example, this rationing maintains that the natural lifespan of humans lasts approximately 80 years; that way, providing healthcare services to people older than that is extremely ineffective. It goes without saying that such rationing is widely criticized and referred to as discriminative against the older generation. However, the practical attitude shows that over the last several decades the elderly population has been growing rapidly, and so have its needs for health care resources, and this resulted in very ineffective spending. The government should apply
