Schools bring together students and pupils from different cultural backgrounds. Culture is a demographic characteristic distributed across a population based on tribes. Upon considering Navarre Primary School (a hypothetical school) as an institution that brings together children from different tribes, the existence of cultural diversities in the school is evident. Culture is the fundamental building block for any environment such as a school that harbors different people with common aims, objectives, and goals. For the achievement of common goals and objectives in an institution that has different demographically distinct people, organization theory proposes the creation of a common organizational culture that is driven by the desired vision and mission (Kouzes & Posner, 2007, p.37). Navarre Primary School has made strategic initiatives of transcending from an organization that educates people from different traditional backgrounds to an institution with a unique tradition guided by the vision of productive leadership. This leadership is defined by common ritual, commitment to the institution’s objectives, common purpose, and collective motivation of all people irrespective of their cultural differences (Deal & Peterson, 2009, p.13). This strategy is an effort to reduce multiple cultures into one culture. The core aim of Navarre Primary School is to deploy all synergies available to yield success for its students. Achievement of this noble aim with perfection requires the school to operate as a cohesive unit where everyone’s energy is directed towards students’ success. Parties constituting both internal and external school environment such as teachers, parents, non-teaching staff, students, and the school’s administration including the PTA must keep aside individual interests and affiliations to build a coherent unit. Unfortunately, the motivation of different people has individual and diversity differences and affiliations as its essential components (Kouzes & Posner, 2007). Deal and Peterson (2009) reveal that schools need to have stories describing their existence. If there is failure to have this plan in place, the authors suggest, “People become fragmented and find refuge in subgroups, bureaucratic routines and minutiae, or toxicity” (Deal & Peterson, 2009, p.60). Hence, schools such as Navarre Primary School are not cohesive units where everyone’s energy is directed towards students’ success. Organizations’ visions and missions are driven by norms, beliefs, and assumptions (Deal & Peterson, 2009, p.58). The school under scrutiny assumes and believes that learning from the past failure stories can establish a strong foundation of continuous success. It has normalized this approach to future success to the extent that all performance standards are based on the ability to surpass past performances. Deal and Peterson (2009) support this app
Abstract Sleep is the state of the mind involving temporary loss of consciousness leading to the resting of the mind. Sleep is very important in the sense that, the mind is made to rest enhancing less utilization of the body’s calories. In this respect, therefore sleep is very much related to the well-being of an individual, it must be well determined by the number of hours an individual sleeps in a day. Sleep being very crucial for health to prevail in an individual; it must be well managed so as to maintain healthy conditions in the body. Based on the above statement, sleep must be well managed in students so as not to affect their academic performance, as well as their other co-curricular activities. The effective management of sleep means that one should not sleep too much or too little so as to attain maximum satisfaction from sleep. In this case, therefore, those individuals who get the right amount of sleep find themselves to have better health conditions, than those who usually have inappropriate amounts of sleep constantly. As the study has shown, sleep among individuals is of great importance as it determines the level of cognitive development. Introduction Sleep is one of the most important requirements in individuals so as to ensure the well-being of the body is maintained. A study among university students has revealed that the amount of sleep that individuals have daily usually affects their academic performance, as well as the other co-curricula activities. It has been revealed that either too much or too little sleep leads to loss of concentration capacity as an individual’s mind gets too exhausted to focus on activities attentively. The right amount of sleep gives individuals enough energy which will thereafter enable them to engage in various productive activities. More so it has been revealed that the a
Justification Over the past decade, social media has become a powerful instrument to estimate the personalities of potential candidates, post job ads, and recruit talented specialists. However, the application of social media in the hiring process is a relatively new phenomenon that requires further investigation. More precisely, it remains unclear how to estimate the quality of data retrieved from the potential employees social media. The current research paper addresses this issue and tries to close the research gap using analysis of large datasets in an open-source. Research question, aims & objectives The research project aims to develop a method to effectively estimate the quality of social media data. Research question How to evaluate social media data quality for employee hiring process? Objectives This research aims to analyse large datasets in an open-source and develop practices that would help to escape errors in evaluating the quality of data. Deliverable The deliverable of the research project is the set of recommendation on how to avoid errors while estimating social media for the hiring process. The key beneficiaries of the research are human resource managers who use social media to evaluate whether a candidate is suitable for the position. Literature review The scholars argue that social media are not always a reliable source of information (Landers & Schmidt, 2016). Sharaburyak et al. (2020) note that the evaluation of candidates via social media could be regarded as an invasion of privacy. From the point of view of Salvatore, Biffignandi, and Bianchi (2020), the problem of examining large datasets is that the retrieved data is not representative. Still, Bohmova and Chudan (2018) claim that social media evaluation helps to perform the MBTI personality test. Another advantage of social media in the requirement process is discussed by Sameen and Cornelius (2015). The literature review outlines the framework for the present research paper. Research design The project is based upon mixed research methods, i.e. quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. This research method was chosen because it enables the author to conduct a more complex and multidimensional analysis of the retrieved data. Besides, the qualitative and quantitative parts of the investigation target different aspects of the research questions. Qualitative and quantitative findings complement one and represent a stronger evidentiary basis. The author decides to employ interview with HR managers as a qualitative research method because it could help to better understand finding based on the quantitative analysis of large datasets. As a primary quantitative research method, the author will analyse large datasets with mathematical approaches to reveal patterns in the correlation between the content of accounts in social media and outcomes of the recruitment proc
Customer experience is a business term that refers to the way companies, organizations or any business entity offers their services to their clients aiming at maintaining customer loyalty to their brands. Businesses go an extra mile beyond their sale of services to make sure that the customers feel cared for, appreciated and important. They give the customer a reason to believe in the product and most importantly want to be associated with the product depending on how the service delivery makes them feel, even though their competitors offer the same services. Some businesses especially in the hospitability industry have a unique way of creating customer experience. Creativity is an important aspect in making a customer experience memorable, entertaining, worthwhile, encompassing and even emotional especially during festivities like the current valentines season. This is what we call customer experience. Virgin brand belonging to the famous entrepreneur sir Richard Branson is an excellent example of total customer experience. Virgin has approximately three hundred brands all over the world however virgin airlines come out as one of the best in customer experience. Virgin airlines one of the top virgin brands was established in the early eighties and has continually emerged as one of the best air carriers in the transport industry offering its services mostly in major cities of the world. The success of virgin airlines in the industry is attributed to their ability to offer excellent customer experience. The service delivery offered by virgin airlines is arguably one of a kind and one that leaves a customer with such an experience that they always want to stick with the virgin brands for life. Brand integrity Virgin brand encompasses approximately three hundred business brands most of which are closely related for example, virgin airlines goes hand in hand with virgin hotels, virgin cab services, virgin tourist resorts, virgin balloon flights, virgin cola, virgin charter, virgin health care and others. Virgin brands are also associated with wealth and class giving the customer an experience of a kind when wholesome package of different executive services from the same company are used. Virgin brand services leave customers especially low income earners who use virgin services with a feel of elegance. Customer Care Virgin airlines offer an exclusive customer care services both on and off board that leave the customers feeling important and appreciated. The airline’s cabin crew and the hostesses are always friendly, accommodative and have a unique way of giving special attention not only to first class customers but to all. The recent gesture where the owner Richard Branson personally did air hostess on one of the flights was a customer experience of a life time. Personally I would have felt so respected when being served and attended by one of the richest man in the world. It was such an invaluable gesture of customer appreciation which left customers with a lifetime experience. Consideration Virgin charter airline offers exclusive services to the elite of the universe. In this
Introduction Supply chain management is an essential part of running a business. An efficient supply chain should be optimized for every link in the chain, meaning that the needs of every company involved in the supply chain should be met. The original supply chain of the MasterTag seed labeling business has proved to be inefficient with various issues leaving their customers unhappy. This paper will cover the problems that the company encountered, their plan for a new supply chain, and its benefits. Discussion MasterTag began manufacturing plastic labels for plants in 1950. Soon the firm became popular among the seed companies that sold seeds to commercial growers. Those companies would order one or two batches of labels at the beginning of the growing season and then sell both the seeds and labels to the growers (Getter and Behe 878). The seed companies did not enjoy ordering the labels, but their customers saw great benefit in them and so labels had to be ordered. The issue was with the fact that seed companies could not predict how many labels they would need to order for the season because of the crop failures and change in the available items. This fact would lead to large numbers of labels being left unused, making the seed companies unhappy. This issue pushed MasterTag toward creating a new plan for the supply chain. Instead of providing the seed companies with labels, the company decided to provide the growers with them instead. The growers would order seeds from the seed companies, and labels from MasterTag. When clients require more labels, they can order them again, without involving the seed companies. The key benefit of this approach is the lack of overproduction of labels. Although the company could sell more tags to the seed companies, this would eventually result in a possible decline in relationships between MasterTag and their clients. With the new plan, they can manufacture and sell exactly the required amount of labels according to the demand of the growers. This action should cut the costs of manufacturing because fewer labels would go unused (Pereira and Gonzaga 87). Subsequently, the growers should be satisfied with this system because it would provide them with the same service at a possibly lower price (Rubera and Kirca 19). The study does not cover whether the prices would change for the growers, but it is possible that the seed companies sold the labels at a higher price than MasterTag. The pros of the new plan are the lack of overproduction, better relationships with the customers, and the streamlining of the supply chain (Khodakarami and Chan 39). The possible cons are slightly more complicated. With the switch to growers as the primary customers, it would create the need for a larger customer relations division. There are two reasons for this. The first is that the growers represent a larger group of customers than the comp
Introduction Hospitality is a multi-faceted concept embracing constantly changing contexts with regard to social and economical development of a host country. On the one hand, the term refers to the already established norms of private and domestic fields of daily life. It conveys the extent to which homes are opened to guests and strangers and, at this point, hospitality is a practice associated with feelings of friendliness, warmth, and openness. On the other hand, hospitality is a concept that is closely tied to commercial domains representing the phenomenon in terms of services, management, human resources, and marketing (O’Dell, 2010). These two dimensions of hospitality now co-exist together for generating new market-bound kinds of hospitality (Hay, 2006; Hemmington, 2007). Apparent relation of hospitality to the marketing sphere still allows to track the hospitality transition from private to commercial forms to discover how the emotional experience was transformed into the hospitality industry. In this paper, I will discuss the stage of hospitality development, as well as its delineation through the introduction of university-bound institutions. Reinterpreting the Principles of Hospitality While Transitioning From Private to Commercial Domains Currently, the commercial dimension of hospitality is aimed at achieving political and social goals of a host country. Therefore, such dimensions of hospitality as food, accommodation, and entertainment are taken into consideration as a powerful tool for influencing consumer experience about the country (Lugosi, 2008; Leung & Law, 2010). Similar implications were present when hospitality was the prerogative of the private sphere (Chen, 2009). To enlarge on this point, hospitality was not considered as a service, or obligation, but as a part of national identity and culture. Barnett’s Perspective on Commercializing Maori Hospitality Recent advances in the study of hospitality prove that the current definition of the term is closely connected with the commercial services and provision of accommodations, food, and drinks.

The debate on the US imperialism is quite lasting. Many Americans see this word as the embodiment of the evil even though this is only a term for certain kind of foreign policy. The debate is still taking place as some Americans exaggerate negative sides of this approach. When talking about imperialism, some people talk about “water tortures”, horrors of war, casualties and violating principles of democracy (Hoar 1). However, even if sometimes such facts take place, and I believe those I very rare cases, they are an insignificant cost compared to the benefits of the spread of democracy in the western hemisphere. More so, these negative effects can be easily diminished and they will be eliminated with the US efficient governance and foreign policy. At the same time, the benefits of the US imperialism cannot be overestimated. First, the US imperialism can enable the western hemisphere develop in peace. Roosevelt stressed that “all the civilized and orderly powers” should “insist on the proper policing of the world” (qtd. in Henretta, Edwards and Self 638). The USA is the country that has the necessary experience and enough resources to help new democracies flourish. We have built our democratic society that has become exemplary for the rest of the world. We have helped many nations obtain their independence and we can help them build truly democratic societies. Of course, some people may be unprepared and, hence, unwilling to live in a new world as they are accustomed to corrupted systems of the old order. This is where the US force is needed to help the majority of people living in those countries develop new societies where corrupted leaders will not exploit the entire nation. No one can say that the desire to contribute to the peace in the region is an evil practice. Secondly, this approach to the foreign policy is beneficial for the US economy. Developing proper relations with emerging democracies will enable our society to develop new financial ties. American entrepreneurs and companies will produce goods that will enter the international market. They will also get an access to various resources available in the countries of the Americas. This will be a beginning of the unlimited trade among nations of the western hemisphere. This can be a start of the new economic revolution in the history of the United States as availability of affordable resources will be beneficial for the US economy as well as each American in particular. Besides, the US imperialism will make the USA an influential state in the world arena. As has been mentioned above, this will be an important stride to a prosperous Americ
In several felony trial courts, the clerk of the court is chosen through an election process (Hogan, 2006). Similarly, most of the jurisdictions fill their court administrators through the appointment. In several states, judges are either appointed or chosen through an election process. Notably, every court is presided over by a chief judge. In this article, the administration of the state of Florida’s felony court system is analyzed. Through this, an analysis of the responsibilities of the positions identified will be highlighted. Similarly, the article will provide more information about how the job performance of each position is evaluated. Additional information about the sources of disagreement between the chief administrators will also be identified. Chief Judge In Florida, the court system comprises the Supreme Court, District Courts of Appeal, And the Trial Courts (Das, 2014). A chief judge heads the trial courts in Florida. To be qualified as a judge, an individual ought to be a listed voter and reside in the region. Similarly, the judges ought to have been practicing law in Florida for not less than five years. The judges are chosen through an election process. As such, voters within their jurisdictions elect them into offices. The elections are free and fair (Hogan, 2006). Nevertheless, whenever a vacancy presents itself before the end of a chosen adjudicator’s term, the position is filled with the help of the judiciary committee. The elected judges preside over their courts for six years. Thereafter, they are required to be vetted by the public through an election. On the election, the public members will decide if the judge fits to be retained in office. Whenever, the members of the public vote against the retention of the judge, the governor is required to appoint another judge to fill the position. The appointed judge is picked from a list prepared by the judicial commission (Hogan, 2006). The method used by Florida in choosing trial judges is appropriate. Elected judges work without impartiality, unlike the appointed judges. When judges are appointed, they work to fulfill the interest of those who appointed them. However, when the members of the public elect them, they work to meet the public interest. As the chief administrator of the trial courts, the chief judges play many functions. They interpret the decrees, review the verification presented, and are in charge of how investigations and assessments unfold in their courtrooms. Notably, these judges are independent decision-makers in their courtrooms (Hogan, 2006). The Judicial Qualifications Commission evaluates t
Introduction Various countries differ greatly in terms of their overall competitiveness in the global market. This is the result of different factors which are at work in this country. These factors range from social, economical, political, and cultural, and often have a defining effect on the way business is conducted within these countries. As a result, when different countries begin engaging in the global market, cultural differences can create conflict, misunderstanding, and variable levels of competition (Tahir 2014). For example, the article “An institution-based view of international business strategy: a focus on emerging economies” gives us an example of the Chinese industry. In China, it is legal for the management of competing firms to meet and discuss prices, and divide the markets between each other, despite the fact that the same action would be illegal in the US and most parts of the world (Peng, Wang & Jiang 2008). The difference can also be seen in the approach to intellectual property, as different cultures attribute different value to IP. Again, China is a good example, as it does not have the same concept of IP as the western countries (Budde-Sung 2013) Analysis The competitiveness of a country in an industry is in many ways determined by the political-institutional environment it cultivates, and if this environment, along with social, economic, and cultural circumstances, can help the country to develop an effective competitive advantage, which will allow it to find its niche in the global market. The government has a powerful regulatory ability over the market and cost structure, the ability to limit the company’s growth and activities, as well as impact production and service provision. The judicial system, in particular, is a powerful tool for regulation of corporation’s practices, and, in turn, can be the basis of competitive advantage (Evans & Gabel, 2014). For example, in Brazil, there are several policies directed at aiding the international expansion of its companies, supporting and endorsing strategically valuable industries, and increasing the countries’ competitive advantage overall (Bazuchi et al 2013). The geographical and economic attributes of a country can severely limit or augment the countries competitiveness in the industry. As mentioned before, culture also plays a significant role in determining the company’s competitive advantage. A Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede defined four attributes of culture, which affect business. These are power distance, which defines the attitudes toward unequal power distribution along the hierarchy, uncertainty avoidance and distaste for risk, capacity for individualism and masculinity, which defines which values are more appreciated in the society (Rugman & Collinson 2012). Concl
