The Firm and its Products Nokia is a global firm within the communications and information industry. The firm is headquartered in Espoo, Finland (Grünewälder, 2008). Also, the firm deals with mobile phones, mobile computers as well as networks. Also, the corporation offers internet services comprising music applications, games, and media as well as messaging services. Core to the operations of Nokia is the client-driven marketing tactic. Essentially, the model of marketing enables the firm to fragment its world market in terms of economic situations. Besides, the firm utilizes product and service differentiation as well as the provision of innovative and standard products with unique attributes. In reality, the firm’s major undertakings continue to utilize innovations in the production of products to augment the client base. In other words, Nokia remains to update its products with speed, efficiency, and quality, thereby attracting numerous clients across the globe. The SWOT Analysis Strengths The firm’s trademark forms its major strength. Being among the world’s largest producers and manufacturers of mobile phones, the firm has branched out its operations in different nations around the globe causing an increase in its distribution network. Additionally, the corporation’s originality, innovativeness, and resilience along with reliability are major strengths. Besides, the firm enjoys greater yields on equity, proceeds on assets along with higher net profit margins and a strong financial position, thereby making it a leader in the international mobile phone industry. Further, the enterprise has strong research and development facilities leading to its dominance in the mobile phone market. The increased expansion of the firm’s stores in several nations is also added strength. Nokia’s own-branded products ranging from the high-end finest to low-price value have proven useful in covering diverse classes of products including mobile phones, internet services comprising music, applications, games, and media. For instance, Nokia’s high-end Lumia line is designed for individuals with higher incomes, whereas low-end Asha phones are for clients with lower budgets (Grünewälder, 2008). Weaknesses The economic depression currently experienced affects the soaring expenses associated with livelihood and diminishing earnings in the hands of the public. Nokia is likely to experience a reduction in the demand for its products due to reduced earnings. Further, in maintaining its status as a global leader in the mobile phone industry, the firm has to charge lower prices, which in effect squeezes its margins. The other weakness that Nokia encounters arise from the fact that numerous retailers are merging and offer stiff competition. Another weakness of the firm is illust
History Through observation some of things that can be gleaned about the history of Kew Gardens are the old neighborhoods characterized by old buildings. The first apartment that was built in the Kew Gardens was in Kew Bolmer followed by clubhouse and private schools. Later on larger apartments were built in Kew Gardens between 1915 and 1918 and they include: high-rise and Kent Manor buildings which are allocated along Queens Boulevard. Some old Roads and railroads were built in neo-Tudor and English styles which are still in use till today in the southern parts of Kew Gardens. In 1910, Kew Gardens went through major development which included extension of streets, installation of sewer and water pipes. Later on, multi-family homes and complex apartments were built in Kew Gardens which brought demographic change in the city. I have lived in Kew Gardens for 8 years now and the area has indeed changed. There are finer buildings, the roads have become better and the environment is cool with green environment. Demographics Kew Gardens is a densely populated community with Lefferts Boulevard as its commercial center. There are different ethnic groups living in Kew Gardens with the majority being the whites (66.2%) followed by Latino (20%), Asians (13.0%), there are also Black Americans (7.0%) and lastly Alaska Native and American Indian make 0.3% of the population (Hart 2009). Kew Gardens have experienced a change in demographics of its neighborhoods over the past years; the Asian and Hispanic population have tremendously grown. The total population size of Kew Gardens is estimated to be more than 25,769. The population consists of both aged and young female and male people. Most people living in Kew Gardens have family and this is evident by the large number of schools available in the area. Despite the fact that the residents enjoy diversity, most people do not own homes in Kew Gardens which have led to division of the people creating disharmony. There are homeless people in the area. The whites are more apparent in the area since they occupy fine apartments and multi-family homes in the region. Ethnicity There are many indicators of diverse ethnic groups in Kew Gardens. There are synagogues which show that there are Jewish people in Kew Gardens. Korean population increased in Kew Gardens which led to rededication and renovation of First Church in Kew Gardens. The church mainly offers their services in Korean language. The local cuisine prepared in Kew Garden restaurants reflects diversity in ethnic groups. Many religious groups like the Hindus, Jews and the Muslims usually shop at the bazaars and local markets in Kew Gardens and they also get to buy religious foods sold in these areas. The predominant language spoken in Kew Gardens is English since the white people form the majority of the population (Krawitz 2008). However due to ethnic diversity, other languages such as Chinese are also heard in Kew Gardens. Religion, Values and Beliefs There are many religious groups in Kew Gardens. There are Muslims who worship in the mosques, Jews have built synago
Introduction In physics, the term terminal velocity is that kind of velocity in which the force of drag of an object which is falling is equal to the weight of that object less the acting force due to air, which usually stops acceleration and causes the speed to remain constant. When an object falls due to gravity and accelerates the drag which is produced by passing through a fluid medium and air increases. This reaches a particular speed when the drag force which is produced will equal to the gravity (downward) force and mostly the weight of the object. At this time this speed is called the terminal velocity. This terminal velocity varies directly with the ratio of drag to mass. This then means when the mass of the object is small the terminal velocity is lower, whereas increase in mass also means the higher terminal velocity. When an object falls at a speed which is greater than the terminal velocity, then it will have to slow down until it reaches the terminal velocity. This usually occurs when there are external effects that are associated with the body. Some of this effects are the downward force, when the shape changes or if it falls from a thinner part of the atmosphere. Formula to find Terminal Velocity This formula is usually used to calculate the terminal velocity without consideration of buoyancy. The terminal velocity of an object usually changes due to the properties of mass, fluid and the projected area of the associated object. Ways to measure terminal velocity in presence of buoyancy To determine the terminal velocity, the drag force will be considered. This means that any calculation that is associated with terminal velocity will depend on the drag force. The terminal velocity in the presence of buoyancy force when buoyancy effects are brought into this issue and a body which is falling through a fluid under its weight reaches the terminal velocity when the velocity is settling (terminal velocity), this is where the net force which acts on the object becomes zero. When this period is reached the weight of the object is exactly balanced by the upward force of both buoyancy and drag. W = F + D where w = weight of the object, F = buoyancy force acting on the object and D = the drag force that acts on the object. The above formula becomes; V = sqrt (4gd/3c ) Where d = diameter of the spheric
Introduction The economic health of a nation or a community can be gauged by various indicators, and some of them are GDP, inflation, turnover, and the performance of the capital markets. This paper discusses the research question that is made of two parts. The first is ‘Do capital markets foster economic development. The other question is a ‘comparison of the Latin American economies with East Asian again with reference to the capital markets. The paper would first establish a link between capital market and economic development and then attempt to analyze statistics between these two regions. The link between capital market and economic development Chinn (2005) has examined in detail the links between the financial liberalization of a region and its economic and financial development. The author asserts that to a great extent when capital account and markets are liberalized, the process can help to boost the economy of a region (p. 2). The argument used by the authors is that when an economy is liberalized, it provides finance and funds that borrowers can utilize to set up ventures and make their businesses grow, thus leading to the growth of financial markets. The authors point out that when the capital account is liberalized, it can lead to the development of financial systems through several channels. Some of the channels used are financial liberalization may mitigate financial repression in protected financial markets, allowing the real interest rate to rise to its competitive market equilibrium. When capital controls are removed, this provides local as well as foreign investors to enter the market and diversify their portfolios. These two, in turn, can result in a financial liberalization that can reduce the cost of capital and increasing its availability for the borrowers. Financial globalization reduces the cost of equity capital because of the reduction in the expected returns to compensate for risk as well as in agency costs. The liberalization process usually increases the efficiency level of the financial system by weeding out inefficient financial institutions and creating greater pressure for a reform of th
The judicial system in the Republic of China is part of the three-pronged government of the country, besides the executive and legislative arms. The system has its foundation on the civil law models of Germany and France, though with further integration of the local characteristics (Clarke, 2007). The system has undergone constant reforms and the development of adjudication in the past four decades. This essay analyzes these developments. Deng Xiaoping was an economic reformer. He was also a commercial crusader rooted for judicial reform in the Chinese Republic as a propeller for commercial growth. Despite never having held any political office in the nation, the leader had a strong leadership voice in the country. Many referred to him as the “paramount leader”. He was also credited with propounding the theory of the soviet style of law, which was the socialist model. He advocated for a separation of the capitalist divisions of th
Consistent with his reputation as the pioneer of “Romantic” writing, Scottish Bard Robert Burns wrote this piece from a woman’s point of view, to show affection as the wife or lover of John Anderson. This is a romantic love that compares his aging, deteriorating looks with that of his younger self. She remembers with gladness the comely lad he was then and proceeds to reminisce of the times and struggles they had gone through together. Burns ends the poem with the promise of the wife that, come what may, they will be together forever. This poem is an example of “restricted poetry” because Burns only talks of one experience. The theme is purely and simply the love and intimacy between John Anderson and his spouse. The persona of the poem is the wife or the lover of John Anderson. This is evident not only in the title – “jo” is Scottish and Burns often wrote in a mixture that others around Britain could understand – but also in the words used that bore a hint of intimacy. The poem structure is balanced by having both stanzas divide into two parts. The first stanza alternates remembrances of their youth with appearance and action in old age. In the second stanza, Burns transitions from the glory of youth to eventual death. The progress of the poem is slow and produces a sense of melancholy grace towards the end. On the surface, the poem expresses the thoughts of a wife as she and her spouse near the end of their lives together. She remembers the times, good or bad, that they spent together. Burns shows through this poem how people change through the trials of time by juxtaposing the contrast between dark good looks fading to grayness and thick heads of hair becoming receding hairlines to mark the inevitable march of time. In a deeper sense, Burns demonstrates the loyalty of the wife to her husband. Even in old age, love is still there though they have gone through a lot. The hill in the poem represents many things: the obstacles they hurdled as a couple and transitions in life. The climb to the top of the hill symbolizes vigorous youth while the descent depicts degeneration into old age and eventual death. Burns uses a line that showed the utmost loyalty of the wife to her spouse. “And sleep thegither at the foot” insinuates the idea that even in death, the couple will still be together. Burns crafted a great poem by contrasting light and darkness, life and death, vibrant youth and old age, beauty and its corruption. All these elements were interconnected in the life of John Anderson and the thoughts of his spouse. Burns created striking poetry from a simple reminiscence of a wife of her husband. The poem is stark in its simplicity but manages to convey the depth of feeling others convey in a sort of story or full-length novel. The light and darkness in constant conflict in the poem were “hidden in plain sight”, needing only the eye of insight to find it. To the casual eye, the poem is just about a reminiscing old woman, but to those who care to understand, it shows the love that binds through the changes human beings endure as they age. All in all “John Anderson, my Jo” is a poem that impresses as a melancho
Our whole life revolves on decisions we make and decisions we take. From the day a child is born, there begins a process of decision-making. Sometimes we are carried by our emotions while making decisions while on the other hand we are carried by the uncertainties’. Then we make what would come out to be the best decision of our life. Decisions take place consciously or subconsciously. Conscious decision-making implies when we are conscious about our thoughts, our plans and our desires, analyze its implications and its benefits, we make decisions and feel self motivated. we make decision we feel self-motivated. Persons, who are conscious controlled about their decision- makingers make the human beings to dominate their routines, exercise control over the willpower, find innovative solutions, make collective decisions and justify their choices. (this sentence is correct) We can define consciousness as, “It is the very substance of mental life that not only makes life personally manageable but also worth living. A functional consciousness involves purposive accessing and deliberative processing of information for selecting, constructing, regulating and evaluating courses of action.” (Bandura, 3) This is achieved through intentional mobilization and productive use of semantic and pragmatic representations of activities, goals and future events and comes at a cost of price; consciously made decisions are likely to come up with the number of biases. But,, if we go by the rational choice theory and several other perceptions,, the performance of the conscious decision makers rates poorly. But if people
Religion has always played an important role in people’s lives, but it has been acknowledged that organized religions are in decline now, which is specifically apparent in developed countries. Kotkin (2019) finds the major reason behind this shift towards more secular ways of life in people’s focus on their actions and behaviors with less trust in an almighty supernatural force. People tend to embrace ideology as their faith rather than religious teaching, so they have some guidance but have no trust in a god, focusing on their behaviors and outcomes. Organized religions want to change and implement rebranding to fit the new trend, concentrating on social justice in general rather than the individual spiritual aspirations of a person or a family. However, this attitude can become a certain obstacle to the struggle for social justice in general. The clash between politics and religion can make people’s attempts less effective. Notably, the three major religions are based on the principles of social justice. However, this concept is hardly properly defined in any of the teachings (Accomazzo et al., 2014). On the contrary, the basic ideals cherished by worshipers are associated with quite well-understood individuals’ spiritual needs and family values. At that, organized religions pay less attention to this aspect in their attempts to become more environmentally conscious or in their struggle for equality. For instance, in Judaism, people are taught to be respectful and helpful, trying to ensure that the vulnerable (oppressed, ill, poor, and so on) can receive support (BibleProject, 2017). However, the more emphasis Orthodox Jews place on social justice, the more they rely on the groups that are hostile to Judaism or any other religion. In the modern world, people are becoming more secular, looking for spiritual landmarks in political ideologies, which are supported by the media. Political ideologies are also characterized by the focus on social justice, but they are not as universal as major teachings, which makes them more understood. At the same time, political ideologies often segregate populations, making social justice an in-group commodity. Hence, the increasing influence of politics rather than religion can make people concentrate on some groups’ rights that can be secured at the expense of other groups.
Title and Abstract The title used partially gives the reader a clue on what is to be discussed but does not elaborately and vividly bring out a picture of what the article entails. It has not been clearly stated that the problem solving and decision marking is based on the determination of the individual differences among various people. The abstract on the other hand has been too general hence the exact details contained in the article have not been well brought out. Introduction The introduction is well connected with brief but well researched and cited background information. The statement of the hypothesis is acceptable and well brought out. However, the objectives are not clear in the sense that it has not been stated how the use of this research benefit an organization in decision making. The advantages derived from using this model as compared to the other model have also not been mentioned. It is only mentioned that this model is the most preferred but with no reason to support it. Participant selection (sampling procedures) Generally, this article gives information in a reported manner, that is, the information contained in this article is based on the already tried researched methods and therefore only tries to give an explanation to the research and its findings. Despite all these, there is nowhere mentioned in the article where this model
Introduction Articles of Confederation and the US constitution have much in common though they also have some differences. To begin with, these two were made by the same people who had different views. They have been considered to be the official government of the United States for an extended period, as they served as the laws to be followed. Similarities between Articles of Confederation and Constitution In both articles, the nation has been recognized as the United States of America. In both, the laws are made by the legislature, whereby the articles of confederation have only one house which is referred to as Congress, and the constitution has got two houses. These two houses combined are referred to as Congress, but it’s subdivided into the Senate and the House of Representatives. Articles of confederation congress are made up by members who range between two and seven per each state, while two senators per every state represent the constitution, but it depends on the population of each state. Voting in Congress is stated as one vote per state in the articles of confederation, while in the constitution is one vote per one representative. The system of appointing members is in the manner that representatives are to be elected by the popular vote in the constitution. In the articles of confederation, members are appointed by state legislatures. In the constitution, the legislative office is designed for representatives to serve for two years and six years for senators. In articles of confederation, the term is one year. The legislative office has got a term limit of not exceeding three years, out of six in the articles of confederation but there is no limit in the constitution. Differences between Articles of Confederation and Constitution The articles of confederation do not recognize any executive, but the constitution acknowledges the president as the executive. The amendments of laws will be changed through the agreement of all the states by the articles of confederation but by three-quarter of all states in the constitution. An article of confederation was a starting point towards giving the nation a new constitution as it contained more weaknesses than strengths. One of its strengths was that it made extra efforts to unite the states and come up with a strong legislature. Most people appreciated this as they had a chance to contribute to government actions. In the article, the colonists had also come up with an idea of the land ordinance to create new states and cover the national debt. Its main weakness was its failure to allocate powers to the federal government; hence it was considered to be insufficient. The federal government in the articles of confederation had no ability to regulate commerce and taxe
The future of the whole country depends upon the education level of today’s youth. The level of present-day education leaves much to be desired; it makes the government and conscientious citizens anxious and induces them to look for the people responsible for this state of affairs and possible ways out. Though the question of whether the poor students’ results are exclusively their teachers’ fault, is disputable, cardinal measures are to be taken. Firing underperforming teachers means holding educators accountable and decreases student dropout rates. Recent researches demonstrate that the situation in the sphere of education is critical: “only 7 percent of 11th-graders passed the state math tests, and 50 percent of the students at Central Falls failed to graduate in four years” (Woycicki). The results are unthinkable and striking, the question of where the allocated funds could go arises. It is impossible for the whole nation grows stupid, it is the educational system that needs to be carefully investigated and reformed. Firing teachers may seem to be cruel and unjust, but revolutionary changes are to be made. The teachers are to stop finding excuses and to feel responsible for their work; the educators must realize the importance of their role in society. Recruiting employees suitable for teaching is one of the most important steps of the reforms in the sphere of education. As the most significant and costly resource in schools, teachers are central to school improvement efforts. Improving
