Corporate entrepreneurship is the process by which groups inside an existing corporation build, foster, promote, and administer a new business distinct from the parent organization. However, these new entities emphasize the parent’s holdings, competitive positioning, knowledge, or other capabilities. The new groups may also be an oxymoron while again utilizing the unconventional approach to further economic growth alongside the meticulous planning, framework, and organization that several large firms have developed over time (Demirkan et al., 2019). Instead of reclining on their glories, the world’s wealthiest organizations, such as Amazon as well as Samsung, are progressively undertaking proactive innovation projects to prevent disruption. Amazon Custom is an excellent extension of an existing innovative initiative that has reaped the benefits of both evolutionary and radical tactics. As the name indicates, this ambitious new approach allows suppliers to provide customized items on Amazon for the first time (for example, custom text, customization, and so on) (Demirkan et al., 2019). Samsung’s innovative business strategy entails delegating new projects to an expert ‘creative elite,’ guaranteeing that they are prepared to include best practices and produce maximum KPIs (Demirkan et al., 2019). To achieve these objectives, the industry’s inventive elite use open innovation as well as corporate technical reconnaissance strategies. New product advocates explore ideas for new merchandise by independent strategic orientation, a bottom-up method. The iPod is an excellent example. It was built with the help of the company’s workers’ staffing and engineering knowledge. This approach adheres to the company’s existing strategies. Inspired strategic behavior is a top-down procedure in which policy is processed via the company’s pre-existing hierarchical structure (Demirkan et al., 2019). This process is consistent with the firm’s existing approaches, with the iPhone serving as an example. As a result, the most lik
Preview of Sports Tourism Industry People engage in sports for different reasons, some for the health benefits and some for the recreational benefits associated with sports activities. Whatever the reasons people give, it is clear that sports have a way of bringing people together to celebrate their shared interests in different games and as such the connection between sports and tourism is formed. The concept of sports tourism has been in place for a long time but in the past few years, the attention it receives from the media and scholars has led to an increased growth and development of the concept into a major industry with both monetary and non-monetary benefits. Different sectors have in effect taken advantage of these developments in order to accrue the associated benefits. For example, travel companies have taken to offering sports and related adventure holidays and hotel resorts have added sporting activities and facilities to their accommodation packages, among other things (Standeven & Knop, 1999, p. 4). Sports tourism refers to peoples’ participation in sports activities, whether actively or passively organised for commercial or social reasons in such a way that they require people to travel away from their homes or localities to participate (Weed, 2008, p. 15). Some of the main sporting events associated with sports tourism include the Football World Cup, Olympic Games, motor racing Grand Prix, world cycling events, athletics events such as the world marathon, swimming and surfing events among others. These events usually attract people from different parts of the world and generate huge revenues for hosts nations through different groups involved in planning the events. With the growing interest and investment in the sector, sports tourism is set to take on new heights (Buhalis & Costa, 2006, p. 118). Introduction There are different types of sports tourism depending on their purpose, the number and kinds of sporting activities that will be involved, but the focus of this paper is a swimming event around the Roosevelt Island in New York City in concurrence with the New York Marathon later on in the year. The event will last for a day just like the marathon and potential participants will choose whether to participate in both events or participate in one. The participation include the players and spectators as well as instructors who asses the progress according to their interests. Statement of the Problem In order to carry out a successful swimming event in the area, additional infrastructure will be necessary, more so in the accommodation and transport sectors for the sports tourists and this may pose a great problem to the event organisers. There is also a disconnect between the policy governing sports and tourism because of their consideration as different entities by policy making institutions and this may bring challenges especially as far as funding the event is concerned. The involvement of corporate sponsors such as companies may also prove difficult consid
Introduction Socialism with Chinese features differs from the socialism that emerged on the basis of developed Capitalism that was assumed by Marx and Engels. The two focused on socialism that evolved from the Soviet Model and from the ‘triumphal stage” socialism in past China. The habit of socialism with Chinese Characteristic is focused in its habit in historical beginning, peculiar development system, and peculiar dual relationship. Features or the characteristic of socialism was an aspect that was embraced by Deng Xiaoping. It is under the umbrella of setting up socialism with Chinese Characteristic that socialism enhances incredible dynamism and vitality in China. In this respect, this paper shall therefore succinctly discuss the economic system of socialist market economy in China, its features, and the extent of its capitalism. Socialism with Chinese Characteristic According to the past history, socialism with Chinese Characteristic was an aspect that developed in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Maxist Classical authors assert that, the beginning of development of socialist society is the development of Capitalism. Having known this, China is still in progress on the socialist road on the platform of a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. In this respect, the perspective that China undertakes is predominantly different from what Maxism believes in. It is the tremendous difference between Maxism and China as a country that results to Socialism acquiring typical features of the underdeveloped countries (Dillon 63). At the outset, the basis on which Chinese Socialism was sprout is distinct from the matrix which gestates socialism as passed on by its founders. The forerunner of Chinese Socialism is a diffident semi-colonial and semi-feudal society as a substitute of developed capitalistic society (Beck and Levine 428). Secondly, socialism formulated on the basis of a backward economy culture in the Chinese Society has to essentially go through a transition period from the incompetent to the competent. A competent socialism in this case may be thought to uphold a better and superior position than capitalism itself; in essence, it is a socialism that is assumed by Marx. In the development stage of the society, and in realizing a complete transition, it has to undergo a process from the incompetent to competent transition. This is an experience that takes a fairly long transition period, or in other words this is the primary stage (Chen 466). The third feature is that Socialism that emerges from a backward economy and culture will encounter a lot of di
The most common task given to a student at college is to write essays. Essay writing is not that easy or that tough a task. But, it does require a certain amount of understanding as to what all has to be included in the essay. The student has to work within restricted boundaries and follow some guidelines. Michael Harvey’s The Nuts & Bolts of College Writing provides some very much-needed advice regarding writing essays. According to the author, an essay reflects the personal qualities of the one who writes it. I very much agree with him. The writer should be original in his ideas and honest in his opinions. He has to write in such a way that he is able to share his ideas with every audience. The word ‘essay’ comes from the French word ‘essayer, which means ‘to try. Sometimes, when in college, one gets the urge to write in pompous English. But, at the same time, this urge takes away the originality from a student’s essay. A college student must write in simple, plain, and comprehendible English. Plain and simple English is easy to understand and also helps the writer in explaining his opinions and thoughts with full confidence and force. Jotting down in flashy language may not do full justice to the essay. A very simple example for this is: using “commence” in place of a simple word like “begin”. Such small but easy examples given in the book are very much helpful for the students in their essay writing. The next best thing about writing an essay is that there should be concision and clarity in them. The concision of an essay doesn’t always mean to disturb the clarity. Where there is concision, there can be clarity too. One must make it a point to use the right amount of words in an essay. It is almost similar to removing the extra fat from a body. Using only the required amount of words would surely reduce the redundancy. Also, the author can eliminate the unwanted words or phrases from an essay without losing the meaning of it. Ex. Original Revision This secrecy becomes very damning This secrecy cripples Hamlet to Hamlet So, according to the author, “Concision is a sign of perspiration than inspiration” (Michael Harvey, 9). Besides, a writer must also follow all the formats of writing styles, for example, APA, MLA, etc. These ideas will help every student to write a good quality essay, which expresses the thoughts of the writer, and at the same time, keeps it short and sweet. In his second chapter, Harvey discusses the concept of “Clarity” in an essay. I find it necessary to first know one’s readers and then write accordingly. He also introduces the concept of “Nominalization”. These kinds of verbs often end in –tion or –ion. For example, instead of using ‘analyze’ or ‘assess’, one uses ‘analysis’ and ‘assessment’. Nominalization is actually an action that is written as a noun and not as a verb. Action in the verb: We are carefully analyzing the data. Action in Nominalization: A systematic analysis of the data is underway (Michael Harvey, 14). Again, in a nominalized data, a revision may be done to
Introduction This report presents complexity associated with producing and transmitting renewable energy. In the recent past, the demand for clean energy to replace fossil fuels has increased steadily. Consequently, overwhelming demands for clean energy have become an escalating source of concern for renewable energy producing companies and policymakers. As energy consumption increases globally, many stakeholders, policymakers and energy producing firms have focused on enhancing the production of clean energy to reduce adverse effects of fossil fuels. This report investigates the primary causes of complexity in producing and transmitting renewable energy, consequences and provides action-oriented recommendations to combat the problem. Complexity in producing and transmitting renewable energy is multifaceted and may be related to many factors, which hinder production and transmission of renewable energy to users. Specifically, timing and scalability, substitutability, resource input requirement, lack of consistency in output, and land and water issues have been identified as the major factors that contribute to complexity in generating and transmitting renewable energy. Renewable sources of energy have many advantages to the environment. Most sources of renewable energy do not generate many pollutants. In addition, renewable sources of energy can be used for a long duration (Andrews & Jelley, 2007, pp.167-168). Since ancient periods, renewable energy has acted as a fundamental energy source. However, in the past few decades, there has been a dramatic increase in demands for energy. The following factors have led to complexity in producing and transmitting renewable energy. Contributing factors Timing and Scalability Production of alternative sources of energy requires considerable time for feasibility studies. For instance, it takes an average of twenty years to establish a production facility for a renewable source of energy. Furthermore, research activities may take long time, but may fail to produce desired results. Moreover, research findings cannot indicate clearly the future economic potential of a renewable source of energy (Andrews & Jelley 2007, pp. 167-168). Substitutability It is not easy to integrate alternative sources of energy with the existing energy systems (Johansson & Burnham, 2008, pp. 4-5). Therefore, additional infrastructure must be developed to facilitate transmission
Every organization is responsible for addressing notices of alleged copyright, among other intellectual property rights infringements. In Bright Tunes v. Harrisongs Music , the issue was whether the defendant, Gorge Harrison, plagiarized the song ‘My Sweet Lord’ (“George Harrison v. Bright Tunes”, n. d.). Harrison was listed to have copied his song from a previously successful one, “He’s So Fine,” by the complaining author, Ronald Mack, contrary to copyright policy (Bosher, 2019). “He’s So Fine” was recorded by Chiffons, and the plaintiff, Bright Tunes Music Corp., owned their copyright. Even though the defendant’s witnesses noted the significant differences in the two songs stemming from words and syllables, modest modifications in the beginning phrases and repetitions were required. Moreover, the court’s conclusion noted that the defendant had multiple possibilities of seeking musical materials. In such a process, Harrison possibly developed combinations that could please his potential listener through ‘My Sweet Lord.’ Additionally, Harrison’s subconscious mind knew the musical blend would be a success since it previously succeeded in another song that he could not retrieve consciously. For such reasons, the court was not convinced Harrison plagiarized the song intentionally but discovered that ‘My Sweet Lord’ was similar to ‘He’s So Fine’ worded differently. Therefore, it was a copyright infringement despite being achieved subconsciously. Overall, the court found the defendant, George Harrison, liable for copyright infringement in Bright Tunes v. Harrisongs Music, becoming a commonly referred to as the dispute of music plagiarism. Apologetically, the court determined that Harrison unconsciously misappropriated identical harmonies of ‘He’s So Fine.’ Though facts established by the defendant’s witnesses could depict the notes’ differences, both songs had the same melodic motive. The ultimate determination of Harrison’s misappropriation and unconscious copying was guided by his decision to hire an educated musician to develop his banal musical ideas.
Introduction The proportion of older people continues to grow worldwide, especially in developing countries. This, along with an increase in the prevalence of oral diseases and non-communicable diseases, will significantly challenge health and social policy planners (Petersen and Yamamoto, 2005). Oral diseases and impairments are most commonly experienced among older people with special needs, that requires long term care at home or in institutions. Studies in many countries have demonstrated that institutionalised elderly people have significant dental needs experience and greater barriers to receiving dental care compared with older people who live independently (Drake, 1991). Elderly people who live in nursing homes in Sydling are considered as a vulnerable section of society that faces greater risks and worse oral health than average. Treatment alone will never successfully alleviate the causes of dental diseases. Health promotion offers the potential to tackle the underlining determinants of oral health thereby improve the oral health of this section in society (Daly et al, 2003). Therefore, there is a need for effective and affordable intervention for better oral health and quality of life, which are integrated into general health programmes. WHO had provided guidance on interventions design in 1998 which emphasised the following elements: they should be empowering, holistic, equitable, and sustainable and multi-strategy (Watt, 2005). Stages in Planning an Oral Health Promotion Strategy: Planning Cycle To promote oral health and reduce dental caries requires coordinated and planned approach. Planning involves several stages, which enable the health promoter to achieve a desired result as well as it direct the resources to where they will have the most impact (figure 1). Assessing Needs Assessing the oral health needs is an essential step in developing effective and sustainable interventions to promote oral health. A recent assessment of oral health needs of older people living in nine nursing homes in Sydling has highlighted a number of oral health problems:   * Untreated dental diseases such as dental caries, missing teeth, colossal wear of denture, loose dentures.   * Inadequate oral hygiene practices.   * Negative impact of poor oral condition on the quality of life by affecting their ability to communicate effectively, to eat, speak and carry out their daily activities.   * Limited knowledge of staff on oral care assessment or how to look after their resident’s mouth.   * Difficulty in accessing dental services when needed. Goals and Action Plans The overall aim of the programme is to promote oral health and improve quality of life among elderly people in nursing homes in Sydling over the two year plan. The Ottawa Charter was developed by the WHO as a framework for constructing a health promotion programme that addresses the underlying determinants of health. It suggests
Introduction Volcanic eruptions occur when lava and gas are emitted from the volcanic vent. The most common effects of this explosion are population displacement when masses of people are sometimes forced to escape the flood of flowing lava. Volcanic explosions also lead to temporary food scarcity and frequent volcanic ash landslides known as Lahar. The most hazardous form of volcanic eruption is referred to as ‘glowing avalanche.’ This occurs because the exploded mixture of volcanic hot liquefied rock and gas contents which has temperatures ranging from one thousand two hundred degrees is formed (Contributor, 2929). The overflowing fusion is formed mainly from pieces of rocks that melt as a result of high temperatures. The discharge flows down the perimeter of the volcano at a high speed of about 100 kilometers per hour and they can cover an area of about 10 km or even to 40 km from where they originated from (Contributor, 2929). This paper will concentrate on the eruption of the Mount St. Helens volcano, looking at its history, the explosion, the immediate consequences of the eruption, and the historic impact on the climate and human life. Background Mount St. Helens before the 1980 eruptions (Pre-1980 Mount St. Helens with view of Mt. Hood to the left., 2020) Mount St. Helens is a volcanic mountain situated in the state of Southwest Washington. It is the Cascade Range’s most active volcano, a mountainous region that ranges from British Columbia to northern California, across Washington and Oregon. Mount St. Helens has alternated between intervals of volcanic explosions and prolonged periods of relative calm for many years. It is an active stratovolcano and is 2,539 m (8,330 ft.) above sea level in height, and it is a dacite volcano (Contributor, 2020). Dacite is a type of igneous rock with a middle to high silica concentration of the source lava/magma, which is flammable and explosive when it explodes on the surface. As a part of the Cascade Mountains, St. Helens and its corresponding volcano are the culmination of the volcanic activity of the Juan de Fuca Plate u
To gain knowledge about nursing informatics (NI) and day-to-date realities associated with it, the interview with Jincy Chacko, a clinical informatics specialist at the Northwell Health system, was conducted by telephone. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the key aspects concerning NI practitioners’ activity. In this respect, formal and informal preparation issues are considered through the example of the interviewee’s qualifications and expertise. Further, NI functional areas and primary responsibilities are discussed. Finally, the differences between theory and practice are analyzed: academic knowledge and its actual implementation by the professional are compared. Ms. Chacko has been working in the current position since November 2014. She stated that a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree was the required minimum for those who wanted to become NI practitioners. However, many specialists hold master’s degrees in nursing informatics nowadays, and the interviewee is also a Master’s prepared professional with a background in Information Systems. According to Ms. Chacko’s advice, if an individual plans to become an NI specialist, they should earn the degree and become a clinical informatics intern. As for the informal preparation, she expressed the opinion that a person had to be a good communicator interested in two spheres: informatics and technologies and liaison among consumers, nurses, health care specialists, and patients in terms of technology. She admitted that the twofold contents of NI work drew her attention because she needed to stay in touch with people and at the same time apply her IT knowledge to practice. The main part of the interview addressed NI functional areas. As a rule, the following areas are usually listed:   * Administration, Leadership, and Management;   * Analysis;   * Compliance and Integrity Management;   * Consultation;   * Coordination, Facilitation, and Integration;   * Development;   * Education and Professional Development;   * Policy Development and Advocacy;   * Research and Evaluation (Healthcare Information, 2012). The interviewee confirmed that these functional areas referred to NI practice and explained that she concentrated on Administration, Leadership, Management, Analysis, Development, and Education, and her responsibilities were intertwined with them. Ms. Chacko described several duties: for example, she helped introduce and improve the agile development process within the hospital setting and analyzed clinical workflow; I assume these duties pertain to Administration, Management, and Analysis. She also reported that she sometimes carried out business analysis and suggested solutions to enhance the services of the Northwell hospital and population health in general. In this regard, she saw IT project management as the most effective tool and frequently used it to solve problems concerning Administration functional area. Moreover, Education was called on
