The motor vehicle industry in the US has experienced several challenges in the last decade. Several car manufactures in the US have experienced a reduction in revenues due to increased competition in the market. One of the most remarkable leaders in the industry has been Allan Mulally, the President and CEO of Ford Motor Company. He became the President of the company in 2006 after serving as President of Boeing for several years. He is a qualified aero-nautical engineer and a trained manager. Mulally is a member of several aero- nautical professional associations because of his involvement in the aviation industry. He spent more than 30 years at Boeing, where he served as the firm’s President. He has sat on several boards of aviation associations which made him ideal for the leadership role at Ford Motor Company. The media industry has experienced a lot of changes in the past three decades. Television broadcasting and advertising have had a remarkable influence on many commercial trends across the world. In the US, cable television broadcasting has grown to become a a large industry with various competing firms. These broadcasting firms have their own specialty content which they provide to subscribing viewers. The advertising industry has also developed to become a large industry because of the effect of billboards and other forms of outdoor advertising. One person who is recognized for his role in developing broadcast media in the US, is Ted Turner. Turner is credited with contributing positively to the growth of cable television and outdoor advertising in the country. As a leader, he is keen on trends that change the industry and this can be seen in the way he transformed CNN, TCM, TNT and Cartoon Network. Alan Mulally has initiated several changes in the organizational culture of Ford, after becoming CEO in 2006. When he became CEO, the firm was on the verge of being declared bankrupt and had recorded a loss of more than 12 billion dollars, which it had never experienced before. The firm was not able to compete against European and Japanese car manufacturers, which were producing better car models at a lower cost. This problem was also faced by other US car makers because they lacked a competitive advantage in the car market. His background in management helped him to change the way the firm conducted its processes and this improved its
The introduction of the bus system has forced many parents to give an extra dollar to the fees they have been paying for their children. Children have been enjoying free ride to and from their respective schools but due to the economic constrains, the Fontana Unified School Districted has decided that every child must pay $120 as bus fees. From the economic perspective of the school, this increase is in tandem with economic status of the country, but from the parents’ perspective, it is quite unfair. The increase of bus fee from $0 to $120 is not rational because parents are also experiencing the economic constrains that the schools are experiencing. What the schools are doing is to cushion themselves against economic constrains at the expense of the parents who are already overstretched by paying the school fees. The drastic introduction of the bus system to the schools is a novel idea but the exorbitant bus fees do not fit well in the economic status of the parents, since a parent who has two or more children will experience the brunt of this new bus system. Parents have been working very hard to pay school fees for their children and the free transport has been a great incentive not only to the parents, but also to the students. Given that a child’s education is paramount both to the school and to the parent, how can the school be very insensitive to the need of improving quality education of the students? It is true that there are expenses occurred in running free transport for the students but drastic change of policies does not justify the need to for the bus fees. The consequences of introducing bus fees will reverse the objective of education since many students will not afford and can decide to walk to school, others will use private means, while others will resort to truancy. In addition, students who walk long distances to their respective schools through dangerous parts of the district will risk their lives. All these factors have cumulative effects of lowering school attendance and quality of education. Due to these dire consequences, the schools should reconsider their policies whether the priority of the education lies in the bus system fees or the quality of the education they offer. The educational fees should be in a package tailored to the students’ needs and thus the schools must own up the responsibility of providing all educational needs of the students including the bus fees. The schools’ claims of offering two programs of transport, the bus syste
Gender The TV show that was chosen to analyze is “Tele-Tubbies”. There are no gender distinctions at all in this show and the only way to differ the male and the female is through the voice of the actors. Although there are different antennas and colors for each character, these marks possibly were made only to visually separate the character’s personalities, not their gender. The parents and siblings are absent in the show, limiting the occurrence only to the main characters. The play the character engage in often shown is dancing and singing, and as the auditory of this show mostly is pre-school viewers this serves as games for all genders without separating the games. Language The language used in the show is mostly a fictional language used as mumbling sounds supposedly present the stage of the language development of the target audience, using in general distinctive words such as Bye-bye and hello. There is no parent influence in the show due to the absence of any family elements. Socio-cultural The socio-cultural environment plays a major role in developing the gender and the language. The children’s ability to absorb and replicate the adults and their social relationships can affect the representation of the child, for example the position and the relation of boys and girls in Arab world are affected by the socio-cultural environment which defines the pattern of the social position from early childhood. Moral Development The person that was asked is a 29-year-old female. Her response was that Heinz should steal the drugs for his wife because he loves her and wants to save her life, so any possible outcome is justified. Possibly this person falls under “the universal ethical principles”, which makes her think that laws based on basic instincts, and in this case general ethics and the value of life are appreciated in the first place. Intelligence and Information Processing Projecting the success in person’s mind can lead to achieving the success, so the intelligence is a key factor in that matter. However, such terms as IQ and any other standards for measuring the intelligence give basic ideas and in that case, indeed the self-view is the measure that helps to achieve the success or failure in the future.The best strategy to achieve success is to forget the bad things and keep the good memories and information available, which corresponds to the concepts of short-term and long-term memory. The question is: Could a person with an IQ level below 100 achieve a success and wealth in life? Legree Shatema- Language and gender: The female character having male emotions phrase does not look distinctive on what can be identified as male emotions. How can a society lack a language?   * Moral development: I think in an abstract evaluation of the case, saying that Heinz should not have stolen the drug, and justifying the stealing at the same time is contradictory. In addition if her decision wa
There are several theories that have been put forward to explain the origin of the universe, and galaxies in particular. New theories are emerging due to the advances in astronomical observations based on the state-of-the-art computerized simulations as well as high-tech telescopes such as the Hubble. Galaxies are like the building units of the ever expanding universe. In accordance with the Science Daily, each of the galaxies is held by a spherical halo which is made of dark matter that can only be detected through its massive gravitational pull. The exact nature of the dark matter still remains a mystery to cosmologists and astronomers. The galaxy formation and its evolution subject have advance in the last decade with new discoveries and innovations in the computerized hardware and simulations. There exists two breeds of galaxies namely the spiral galaxy and the elliptical galaxy. The Milky Ways which is a form of the spiral galaxies are the gyrating disks commonly loaded with hydrogen gas. Thus, they constantly form novel stars that (Science Daily 1). The lately formed stars tend to bestow blue streaks to spiral galaxies. Conversely, the elliptical galaxies are composed of aged red stars which appear to lack the vital hydrogen gas. In fact, such stars contain huge and extra curved fashioned cadaver of the previous aged stars. Nevertheless, numerous efforts geared towards comprehending how such sorts of galaxies became into being seemed to pose challenges to the fresh cosmological investigators. The formation of all galaxies was almost at the same time that is a bout thirteen billion years ago. The basis as well as development of the current galaxies over quite a period of time (billions of years) still persists to be dynamic study field both in astronomical and cosmological science. Various theoretical models have been proposed while advances in technology have lead to the discoveries that has led to the development of new theories. The most acceptable models for the formation of galaxies have been two types, the gravitational instability picture and the cosmic turbulence theory (Jones 1). From the gravitational instability picture, galaxies are formed from huge clouds of gases often larger than the galaxy that is to be formed. The gas clouds coalesce due to the stronger gravitational pull that built within. (St
Introduction Today, students get access to several forms of education, and they are free to demonstrate different attitudes toward their practice. Constantly changing organizational environments promote the examination of current academic needs and resources. Some attempts are successfully made and accepted, and some steps require additional elaboration. In this paper, attention will be paid to the problem of a lack of engagement with online learning and a reflection on design thinking as its solution. Problem The design thinking project is a common analytical method to endorse innovation in solving various business and organizational problems. Tutors should create effective working environments for their students and make sure goals are clearly defined, tasks are complete, and achievements are evaluated. Online learning is a trend that many facilities implement, and Western Sydney University also prefers this method of education. At this moment, the problem definition phase is that not many students are properly engaged with online learning. According to Peng (2017) and Pujiani (2020), student engagement is a necessary component of a learning process that includes behavioral, emotional, and cognitive factors. If young people cannot deal with their emotions, choose behaviors, and stay motivated, they fail some tasks. My view of the problem lies in poor engagement with online learning, which results in a lack of explanation, support, and cooperation between students and educators. Solution Design thinking is an approach to offering an innovative solution to a lack of engagement among students with online learning. Henriksen, Richardson and Mehta (2017) recommend using this process to solve educational problems of practice and taking all five stages from empathy to testing consistently. During the design thinking project development, it was possible to understand all its elements and how they should be applied to a particular situation. The possibility to identify tasks is the main benefit of the chosen method. For example, the empathy stage was necessary to clarify and describe the problem of student engagement with online learning. Students demonstrated dissatisfaction with their experiences because they could not participate in a discussion equally. They felt that a teacher did not find it obligatory to motivate but present the material. In other words, design thinking was effective in comprehending the intentions and expectations of students. Another positive aspect of this project was solid work with sources. It was not enough to gather the opinions of students only but find academic approval of the method and its discussion incredible articles. Teachers and decision-mak

Introduction Several factors have been identified to affect the business environment and subsequently influence whether a firm would succeed in its new venture or not. Such factors are like the available resources, laws and legislation of the country and that of the regional trading blocks like European Union, infrastructure, demography, government policy, climatic conditions, the current economic condition, and many more. To properly understand the implication of these factors on the entry of Pinkberry in Ireland, we would apply the PEST framework to identify the market environment of this country. This would be critical in identifying how these factors are likely to affect the success of Pinkberry with its product range. Business and market drivers Frozen yogurt business is flourishing with the market environment promising a good future investment in the next decade. Pinkberry has diversified the products it offers to the market so as to cut itself a competitive edge in the American market. However, its plan to enter the Irish market will be determined by some market environment. Before these factors are known, the factors that drive or propel this industry should be known. According to Kotler & Lee (2009), environmental sustainability and technological advancements are some of the most important factors that drive the industry to its heights. It is predicted that internet marketing will continue making an integral aspect of the retail business as many people are now going online around the globe. It therefore follows the continuous and expanding buyer power of the people is what has kept the business on the upward trend (Kotler & Lee, 2009). Trends Affecting the Target Irish Market Political Factors Pinkberry is currently operating in the American market, and planning to venture into Irish market as earlier stated. The two countries have different political environmental settings; hence there would be a need to a different approach in the new business venture. The retailer’s performance in each of these countries faces different political challenges, some of which emerge from the legislations set by the European Union. It is noted that US companies are the largest source of inward investment in Ireland, following the continuous marketing of the country as attractive region for investment. This is because there has been a stable government in the country that encourages investment. In fact, according to US Department of Commerce, the estimated return on Irish investments is the largest in Europe. Ireland’s political environment is described as pro-business due to the stability of the government. This has seen American firms prosper in several sectors of their economy. The development of Euro is considered an important aspect for any business enterprise that has interest in investing in Ireland and other European countries. It is critically important as Pinkberry will be able to able to handle one currency in its regional trade, hence easy access to other European markets (Hill, 2002). Current Economic Factors The economic
Attracting tourists to one of the fastest growing centers of the UAE is an essential aspect of foreign policy since a significant part of financial resources comes in the budget through recreational resources. The city has many attractions and picturesque places that are interesting for residents of different countries. However, in connection with the need to strengthen the economy and establish cultural communication links, it is important to find alternative sources of attracting tourists. One of the most real and effective methods to make people pay attention to Dubai is tourism shopping that has recently gained increasing popularity among people of different ages. 1 In this case, it is required to identify the most active categories of the population in order to assess the degree of people’s interest in tourism of this type and to arrange appropriate tours. For these purposes, Sangeeta and Anandkumar 2 offer to attract tourists by organizing special festivals where guests can profitably buy branded things and at the same time substantially replenish the treasury of the city. Another issue that deserves attention is the possibility of non-standard shopping since many sophisticated buyers may not be ready to go to the UAE for the sake of ordinary purchases. Thus, Upadhya and Kumar 3 offer such an entertainment trend as night shopping to develop for tourists because many clients prefer to avoid large crowds of people. For these purposes, it is essential to organize appropriate tours where customers will be able to easily enter major retail chains even at night. Additional alternative shopping methods based on a non-standard approach to attracting people can also be considered for the sake of increasing tourists’ interest. The Significance of the Study The importance of studying the described issue is that the number of tourists coming to Dubai directly impacts on the economy of the city. Constant innovations and new proposals are being made to attract guests, and the authorities need the invested funds to pay off as soon as possible. According to Marathe 4 , innovative marketing is an area that allows focusing on the needs of customers and developing those spheres that are in demand. If insufficiently effective measures are taken to analyze this market and to find alternative ways to attract tourists, expenses may exceed profits, which is unacceptable in the face of high costs. The possibility of searching for new ways of developing tourism is relevant not only because of the need to replenish the budget but also to establish trade relations of the region with other countries. The essentiality of a marketing campaign aimed at promoting the entertainment sphere is the opportunity to successfully cooperate with large investors. Despite the fact that, as Avraham 5 notes, the events of the Arab Spring have increased the interest of tourists in relation to Dubai, there is no guarantee that this interest will not be lost over time. Therefore, the popularization of the city as a recreational region is an important strateg
