This paper aims at describing how Information Technology is helping or can help improve processes in Abu Dhabi Airport. This paper will begin by identifying key functional departments at the airport. After that, it will discuss the information technology employed in each department, and what needs to be done to enhance the current information communication technologies. Abu Dhabi is an international airport located in the heart of Abu Dhabi city, and it is amongst the fastest growing airports in the world. (Qatar News, 2011). Statistics have indicated that Abu Dhabi International Airport has a growing passenger turnout, and new airline operators (Abu Dhabi News, 2012). In addition, the airport has realized a tremendous development in its infrastructure, and at the moment, the airport has embarked on an expansion program that will cost close to $6.8 billion (AIC, 2011). This growth is attributed to the organization’s well structured functional departments. The Airport has a well established supportive services department. This department controls all the supportive services at the airport. Such supportive services include business services, where by passengers are given the opportunity to access internet services, fax and copying machines, and computers. Thus, business travelers can communicate with their business associates while at the airport. Other support services provided include banking, taxi services, medical services, baggage wrapping, catering, parking, and meet and assist services (Abu Dhabi News, 2012). This department relies heavily on the information and communication technologies present at the airport. The airport provides affordable phone services so that passengers can get in touch with members of the supportive team. Abu Dhabi airport also has Air Navigation services
Economics has proven over the years to implement a variety of techniques that assess the value of non-market and the size of potential customers targeted as a market for goods and services. These goods and services are not traded nor priced in the market for they are only in the development or discovery stages. This concept helps the economist to assess the nature and how the perception of the people the products are being targeted at would react and know the potential market size. There are many methods and concepts of implementing these ideologies of marketing and non-market evaluation of goods and services. This economics paper is based on the discovery made by one of the scientists whom I have been working with, so as to ascertain that the drug which they have discovered will penetrate in the market and how it will be priced depending on the size of the potential market. For the people who are obese for it’s an obese drug product developed at the department of Megapharma, Inc. This paper main thesis is how the size of potential market of obese people as the target will be estimated and how the manufacturers will be able to determine the marketing price for the drugs? Size of potential market and target estimation Because economics offers many different concepts and methods of deployment or market evaluation for new developments it is therefore important to evaluate different concepts which control it. First concept we are going to address is scarcity; the scarcity of implementation of a drug that will fully combat the epidemic of obesity. In United State and Canada this has be
Carbon tax hit list: Naming Australia’s biggest polluters The top 500 polluting companies are classified according to their annual CO2 emissions. The emission could occur at the company’s site or through secondary power and energy use. The companies included, in the list all produce over 25,000 tonnes of emissions in a year from a single site. There is also a different in the kind of emissions given by the companies. House emissions that result from the industrial processes within the site are known as scope 1. Scope 2 emissions originate from the site but come from the energy sources outside the site. The largest pollutants are energy generation companies. Seven companies within the energy industry fill the top ten positions. Collectively, they emit about 125,400,000 tonnes of scope one emission compared to the 342,841,000 tonnes from 299 companies. Since the emission tax, only covers the exceeding limit for a single site, not all companies joining the top 500 list of polluters will pay carbon tax. Fifty-eight companies out of the 299 have scope one emissions of less than 25,000 tonnes a year. Furthermore, the list conclusive list has 500 companies that emit the highest amount of CO2 to the atmosphere; however, carbon tax payment would only affect those that exceed the required threshold. Currently, companies in landfill and waste disposal industries escape the tax payment because they do not their scope one emissions in a single site. Companies affected by the carbon tax, whose market is domestic, like in the energy sector, will increase their fees and prices to alleviate the tax effects. Mining Sector Miners say carbon tax undermines Australia’s competitiveness Stakeholders and companies in the mining industry of Australia are not happy with the government’s decision to impose a 23-dollar tax on the country’s 500 largest polluters. The government proposed to raise the tax by 2.5 per cent a year, for three years. Miners say that the taxation costs would put them at an international disadvantage. They cite the fact that their trading competitors in other countries do not face the same taxes. The country needs to keep its resource sector strong. According to the mining industry, if the federal government keeps its word on the tax proposals, it would be demonstrating its inability to understand what drives the Australian economy. They cite the global financial crisis as an example of how the mining and resource industry helped the country avoid the serious economic downturn. The carbon tax would weaken the industry and ultimately put the competitiveness of the economy in jeopardy. The mining industry would respond to the tax measures by cutting production. This would be a cost-saving measure, as well as a compliance measure. The effect of a diminishing production would be the loss of jobs and economies of scale benefits for the miners. Early closure of mines wil
According to the article by Gallagher and Underhill (2012), there is an increased amount of evidence, which suggested that certain work and company characteristics have a direct impact on bad well-being, increased stress, as well as the tension in the work relationships. Therefore, occupational safety should not only account for the physical hazards at work but also psychological hazards. As evident from the presented scenario about a construction company, any employee can have mental issues associated with his or her occupation, regardless of gender. However, gender does play a role in the way employees treat their psychological problems, for example, male construction workers preferred self-medicating through alcohol and drugs. Industry, occupational, and gender characteristics play a crucial part in the way mental health is addressed at work. Nowadays there is a growing need for addressing psychological issues in the workplace since employees are often stressed due to downsizing or immense workload and are expected to perform at the highest level to withstand competition (American Psychological Association, 2016). Because the majority of senior managers see no connection between mental health problems and the workplace environment, employees are currently juggling between excellent performance and the maintenance of a balanced and healthy mental state. Furthermore, male employees can often disregard mental issues they have as well as make fun of female employees that cannot withstand the stress as easily, as seen from the case study. There is a variety of reasons why senior managers should develop effective mental health strategies in the workplace. The development of a safe workplace is important because it will increase productivity, account for the challenges some employees face in the workplace, minimise stress and boost morale, as well as achieve a higher level of loyalty and respect on the part of workers (Australian Human Rights Commission, 2010).
Introduction This essay will discuss what Corporate Social Responsibility is and three ways in which a corporation may practice the aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility. Definition of Corporate Social Responsibility Corporate Social Responsibility refers to the involvement of corporate bodies in social aspects of the consumers in order to attract and retain them. According to this practice, the corporations are like public citizens and they are responsible for the environment. The environment in this case is the people and the general topography surrounding the business. This responsibility may not be of economic benefit to the company but enhances the image and perception, which the public have about the company. This social responsibility has increasingly become popular in the twenty first century and many organizations are looking for ways in which they may affect their practice in the society (Habisch, 2005). Aspects of CSR in Tesco The company of choice in this case is Tesco Group of companies with one of the largest chain stores as well as grocery in the United Kingdom. This is a multinational company with branches in many countries in order to ensure that there is ready market for the products required by the customers. This company can practice the concepts of Corporate Social Responsibility in several aspects such as philanthropy. Philanthropy is an act of charity where the company assists the needy members of the society through donations. Donations may be in form of food, clothing’s, or money. As a company that serves large number of poor people this may be one of the best ways of ensuring there is progress in the society (Habisch, 2005). The other aspect in which the company is involved in Corporate Social Responsibility is the environmental aspect. With the current degradation of environment all over the world, the responsibility of conserving resources and reducing waste is one of the best ways of practicing Corporate Social Responsibility. This involves donating funds to organizations that work towards conservation of environment. The company will also look for ways to get rid of waste to have a clean environment. The store like most of the chain stores packs the products in plastic materials for the consumers. The company will adopt policies of biodegradable materials in packaging to reduce plastic waste that may be hazardous. The company will also set up a recycling machine for waste plastic materials into new ones rather than making new plastic materials (Fomburun, 2000). The company in acknowledgement of the need to ensure that there is an equitabl
President Teddy Roosevelt’s impact on the American view of national security Theodore Roosevelt believed in using to the utmost the constitutional power of the president. He promoted a program that promoted national planning that made the government put restrictions on incomes by initiating very high taxes. Teddy was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize because he promoted peace even when there was no peace and he warned against the danger of peace (Freeman, 1997). President Teddy reversed the traditional U.S foreign policy of refraining from intervention in the affairs of other nations. Intervention had been the exception but he made it the rule. TR promoted a big navy that acted as a toll for an expansion of foreign policies. The navy was to defend the foreign policies that would bring power and prestige in the country (Powel, 2010). According to Freeman (1997), Teddy Roosevelt’s most conflicting intervention was the attack of the Isthmus of Panama, which belonged to Colombia. He resulted to make a canal that connected the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to the US. Therefore, that navy could be easily moved in the oceans. The other intervention that was made was in Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua. This aimed to assist European investors to collect debts from deadbeat Latin American dictators so that European governments would not come up with a military structure in the Western Hemisphere. This aggressive advocacy of intervention made his successors feel more comfortable to start foreign wars that killed Americans at the time when US was not under attacked. It motivated reactions from nationalist s that supported dictators and increased the number of foreign enemies hence it complicated efforts to hav
Executive summary Websites are becoming very important tools that are essential for business operations. The design of any website will require that certain procedures are followed. There are design principles that should be there. This paper will look at the features of the Roaming Technologies company, located in Australia. It will look at the improvements that are required to attract more traffic. Several issues should be considered when designing the website. The design takes many issues that should be considered in advance. The website for Roaming Technologies has many features that should be added to it to attract more traffic. Most of the sales that are made by the company are from offline advertising. They have not seen any significant changes from the Internet through the use of the website to advertise. Introduction It is good when the website chosen is linked and connected to search engines, scientist have shown that approximately 95% of Internet users use search engines. The site should appear always on the first page of the search engine. The search engine is in a position to navigate most of the content from the website (Baltes 2004, 453). The process of designing a website will normally depend on the many things that are being designed. Also it is a process of giving form to an idea which could be a plan or description of a thing. A good design should include the use of good colors, images and flash browsers that are consistent to navigate and the external links are available and in a position to load. During the past years the level of e-tourism development has varied between regions and continents. There are no websites that display faster search engines on the page to make selections without returning to the
Introduction AT&T is a Fortune 500 enterprise specialized in mobile, television, and internet technologies. Its history dates back to the very year when the telephone was invented. Throughout the years, the company has expanded by acquiring such firms as Pacific Telesis Group, etc., and has successfully entered the international market. Nowadays, it is one of the global leaders in the media and telecommunications industry, and its annual profit equals $163.8 billion. Overall, AT&T’s focus on innovation, stakeholder interests, current trends, and the constant widening of its high-quality product line is that what increases its competitiveness in the market and attractiveness to millions of people worldwide (“Company overview,” 2017). Company Analysis Product Description and Usage AT&T’s current product line is highly diverse. It sells a variety of IT devices including smartphones, tablets, and related accessories. However, the accent is made on mobile, TV, and internet packages for individual customers and businesses. For instance, internet products include a wide range of tariffs with different speeds and complimentary services able to meet the needs of people with varying capabilities of purchasing. AT&T also provides phone equipment and connection services including landline, digital, long-distance, and wireless telephony. Additionally, it offers many TV packages that can comprise premium, sports, and international channels. The distinctive feature of AT&T’s internet and television services is that they may be streamed on many devices at once and can be utilized by multiple users. Moreover, all these services can be purchased in bundles with prices varying from $40 to $99.9 (“Shop & support,” 2017). Demand and Supply Product demand largely depends on the purchasing capability of buyers, as well as their willingness to pay (Hirschey & Bentzen, 2016). Therefore, the demand in the telecommunications industry will be determined by-products’ utility, quality, value, and price. In this way, the volumes of AT&T’s outputs, i.e., TV and internet streaming, number of offered channels, etc., will primarily vary depending on the price for each package and device. Overall, the demand curve shows that customers will buy the content more frequently if its price remains reasonably low. By having the moderate-price options in its product line, AT&T will maintain the current quantity of the overall purchased products. According to Veith (n.d.), service competition in the market has a direct effect on the product supply, i.e., the higher competition will increase the product and infrastructure supply. Moreover, t
John Rawls has outlined two principles through which he has based his views concerning justice, in the first one; a person who is involved or affected by practice has the right to be liberated from it. In this principle, there is always a justification if one proves that they had all the reasons not to behave as required. The second one states that; inequalities are subjective and they cannot always work to one’s advantage. (Rawls, 2001) This principle describes a set of different societies that have to follow certain practices which make them be judged according to what is required of them at their respective positions. It is to be noted that although there is a difference in how resources are distributed in this principle, the results will always work out for the good of everyone concerned. The two principles present justice as freedom, equality, and the compensation of the good done. When for instance a society has set guidelines, the responsibility depends on a person’s capability and social status. In such a setting, therefore there is no feeling of discrimination. In situations where the society comprises of people of the same ability and status, they will come together and define principles that will be comfortable to them. These guidelines will always be referred to in case of a problem. Conflicts come about when the set rules cannot work and a certain party feels undermined. In that case, when found appropriate, they are revised and a fair line is drawn to suit all. (Rawls, 2001) When it comes to moral principles, it is expected that one has to act accordingly, whether it will be of benefit to him or not. The question of justice will mostly arise when the interests of individuals are self-centered and none of them is willing to give it up for the benefit of the other. Each one of them expects judgment to come in their favor. When it comes to a group of people with similar practices, they will follow a particular routine that has been generally agreed on. All their actions are aimed at fulfilling a particular goal. Failure to accomplish this by any of the members will be looked at as a letdown to the group and in such cases, the member may decide to detach himself from the group if he finds the conditions unbearable. Fairness and justice are connected in a way that people will feel being treated fairly when the circumstances and situations around them are satisfied and none of them feels burdened by the other. A point of justice and fairness is reached when both parties mutually acknowledge their responsibilities and are ready to work hard to achieve their goals. When it comes to justice, it is all about an individual benefiting from certain procedures. (Rawls, 2001) Fairness involves merging the interests of individuals and drawing procedures that will equally benefit al
Introduction A personnel assessment is a process of determining the effectiveness of the employees’ performance of their duties and the implementation of organizational goals. The main condition for the effective work of the personnel assessment system is its integrated nature. Evaluation of the work of staff helps to solve tasks related to other areas of work with staff. Encouragement is a motivation method based on moral and psychological influence. The method presupposes rewarding a person for conscientiously performed work. Taylor differential piece-rate method will be the best choice for human resources professionals. The stimulation of the work of employees is carried out on two levels. The first level is the stimulation of every employee, and the second is the stimulation of the entire collective of workers. At both levels, the manager must determine the amount of incentive for the staff for the successful carrying out of tasks assigned. The incentive methods should be chosen for every specific situation. At the same time, it is necessary to think through the incentive program and link it with other activities within the framework of the leadership. None of the events affect the desire of sales personnel to succeed as a fact of encouraging individual actions. The structure and application of an effective system of encouraging success in trading activities are directly related to the system. Incentive Pay Determination Basic Methods The primary labor remuneration methods are based on the time rate system and piece rate system. According to the time rate system, workers receive payment for the exact working time. It can be hourly, daily or monthly payment. The quality and quantity of the work are not taken into consideration. The piece rate system presupposes a payment system based on the quantity of the work performed. The incentive plans are oriented on both rate systems the time and piece. These systems have and positive and negative aspects, that is why it is necessary to combine only good aspects of the systems in the incentive plan. The main goal of the plan is to stimulate employees to perform better for earning a higher wage. It is natural that fulfilling a larger amount of work results in employee’s extra payment as it causes lower labor costs (Kato, Kauhanen, & Salmi, 2013). At present companies follow a number of different incentive plans as:
