Abstract This paper will focus on the development of a growth plan for a restaurant that currently faces some issues, but has the potential to develop and expand that is not entirely realized. The strategy will be focused on the improvement of existing product and service. Such methods as surveys, interviews, and observation will be used during the research process. Executive Summary Mirch Masala Inc. is a Dubai-based restaurant that provides its customers with a broad range of Pakistani dishes, and the Halal law is taken into account. The primary purpose of this paper is to develop a strategy that would make Mirch Masala a high growth firm. One of the core aspects that need to be considered is that it currently has an enormous potential to become one of the leading companies in this market, and it is going to be discussed in great detail. It needs to be said that this is a high-risk industry, and it is hard to justify dramatic changes. The methodology for the research will consist of questionnaires, interviews, and observations. Improving an existing product and service is the strategy that is going to be chosen in this particular case, and it will focus on internal aspects of the business (Barringer & Ireland, 2010). The biggest problem that is currently present and needs to be addressed is that it is viewed as non-prestigious according to survey results. Reviews on the Internet were also considered, and the results are not positive because some customers are not satisfied with dishes that are offered, and this issue needs to be addressed. One of the most significant aspects that need to be considered is that there was a controversy surrounding one of the restaurants that operate under this brand name, and it has severely damaged the image of the company. A growth plan is necessary in this case because the enterprise needs to regain the trust of customers and has to deal with other minor issues. It is imperative to diversify the business because it is hard to deal with numerous competitors that appear (Berry, 2015). Some barriers that prevent future development of the company are also present. Employees are also in need of training because some customers are not satisfied with the service, and this fact should be considered during the development of growth strategy. SWOT Analysis Strengths It needs to be said that the restaurant has numerous advantages. A unique technology that is used during cooking is a significant strong point that should not be disregarded. Professional equipment and tools are also used during the process. Some dishes that are offered are unique and have great taste that is praised by customers. The design of the restaurant is also a strong point and has a significant influence on the experience of the customers. The fact that it offers ethnic food is also a major strength. Weaknesses On the other hand, some tremendous weaknesses are also present. Marketing strategy is not well developed, and the potential t
Introduction and Research Purpose The article to be summarised in this paper is “Using Digital Storytelling to Build a Sense of National Identity Amongst Emirati Students” by John Raven and Karen O’Donnell. The topic of the research as indicated by the title of the journal article is about the application of digital, storytelling in enhancing a sense of national identity among Emirati students. The topic of the research is relevant and important as it leads to a study, which provides insight into the benefits of using digital storytelling to boost unity within the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The purpose of the research is to investigate the concern that the UAE national identity is under threat of being undermined and it suffers the risk of eventual; it also establishes how digital storytelling competition can be used to address this concern, especially among Emirati students. Although not openly stated, the research questions for this study were: 1) Is creating digital stories interesting and enjoyable? II) Does creating digital stories help Emirati students learn and understand their country better? and, III) Does create digital stories increase the students’ pride and interests in their country? The study used a total sample of 150 Emirati students, who were asked to develop digital stories on the topic ‘Proudl
Study topic and purpose This paper aims at investigating the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in China. The factors that attract FDI in China will be explored. The paper seeks to find out the impacts of Gross Domestic Product, Wages, Imports, and Exports on the Foreign Direct Investment in China. The investigation will be done quantitatively using secondary data. Dependent and independent variables Dependent variable The dependent variable is Foreign Direct Investment that will be denoted by Y for purposes of analysis. This is the variable that is being determined using other variables. The effect that other factors have on this variable is what the study aims to find out. The independent variable These are the variables whose effects on the dependent variable are being investigated. Their values are exogenously determined. For this research, the following dependent variables are believed to have some impact on Foreign Direct Investment.  1. GDP growth which will be denoted by X 1  2. Export in China denoted by X 2  3. Import in China denoted by X 3  4. Wage IN China which will be denoted by x 4 for purpose of this analysis Regression Equation The variables named above will be related in the following regression model: FDI= β 0 + β 1 GDP growth + β 2 export + β 3 import + β 4 Wage+ u. However, for purposes of simplicity and ease of analysis, the variables will be denoted by X i as indicated above. Where i = 1, 2, 3, 4. The model, therefore, is presented as follows: Y = β 0 + β 1 X 1 + β 2 X 2 + β 3 X 3 + β 4 X 4 + µ. The motivation for selecting the topic This topic was selected for this empirical paper because China is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. The rate of growth has been of interest by all countries in the world including the developed economies like the US and UK. According to Graham and Wada, “by almost all accounts, foreign direct investment (FDI) in China has been one of the major success stories of the past 10 years” (1). The trend of the growth of FDI in China has been very high, having a base of less than $19 billion in 1990 to over $300 billion by the end of 1999 and more than that in recent years. Such growth in FDI, with the prevailing level of competition in the world by economies to raise their FDI, is worth investigating. The factor which causes a high level of FDI is an area that is not fully investigated. It is important to investigate the reason for the high level of FDI in China. This is one of the factors that are contributing to the high growth of the country’s economy. Regression model and the hypotheses to be tested The regression model that will be investigated is as stated below: Y = β 0 + β 1 X 1 + β 2 X 2 + β 3 X 3 + β 4 X 4 + µ. The variables stand as defined earlier with µ denoting the stochastic term or the error term (Rubin 34). The study seeks to test the following hypotheses: H0 denotes the null hypothesis while H1 denotes the alternative hypothesis. H0: β 1 = 0, GDP growth (X 1 ) is a significant determinant of FDI (Y) in China H1 : β 1 ≠ 0, GDP growth (X 1 ) is not a significant determinant of FDI
The introduction of new levels of nursing education is a major reform that has contributed to the complexity of the field. Traditionally, nursing schools provided degrees of a Bachelor’s level associated with the basic skills required by this profession. However, today, aspiring nurses have access to high-quality Master’s programs that further develop their competencies. In this regard, a question may reasonably arise regarding the actual value of such degrees. In fact, Master’s programs in nursing are essential for healthcare, as they align with the growing importance of nurses and the contemporary view of the system. Bachelor’s degrees provide students with the basics of the profession, its fundamental concepts and practical skills. These aspects alone form a full-fledged, competent nurse who is capable of doing their job. In other words, a Bachelor’s degree cannot be considered an “incomplete” education in nursing. At the same time, Master’s programs serve as the development impetus for those who want to engage with more sophisticated principles of 21 st -century nursing. First of all, Master’s degrees are aimed at the manner in which nurses think. More specifically, such programs promote critical thinking and cognitive agility that is required to make precise decisions in difficult situations. Thus, a certain leadership dimension is introduced, allowing nurses to enter the healthcare decision-making framework while understanding the social dimension of the issues to address (Bryant-Moore et al., 2018). Second, a Master’s in nursing supports the development of emotional intelligence, which is integral to patient-centered care. By employing critical thinking, nurses learn to analyze each case objectively and master the emotional aspect that enables strong patient connection (Cassano et al., 2020). Third, a Master’s in nursing is a major step toward proficiency in scientific research, through which nurses help to build a better system for tomorrow. Overall, Master’s programs complement the fundamental skills of each professional by a stronger presence of cognitive, emotional, and research competencies that support the emergence of nursing leaders within the professional community.
Human genetic engineering is a scientific alteration of human genotype or changing the existing phenotype of a human being (Arnold 3). Such scientific alterations are mainly done to cure genetic diseases or for increasing immunity to viruses. Women who cannot conceive can now turn to human genetic engineering which enables them to have children (Arnold 3). This has come as a relief to many women whose dreams of ever having a child of their own were shuttered. This paper seeks to discuss the bioethical issues surrounding the genetic manipulation of human embryos in relation to patient care. Genetic manipulation of embryonic cells has helped scientists in understanding human biology. Through this procedure, cellular replacement therapies have been developed a factor that has seen it attract enormous attention from the general public. The genetic manipulation of embryo cells makes it possible for parents to choose the character traits they would want in their unborn child. Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, PGD is the medical procedure used to prevent parents who have a genetic disease from transmitting it to their progeny (Pray 1). PGD is an embryo screening procedure that has been received by couples who wish to protect their children from genetic diseases. Before the invention of this medical procedure, the only option that was practicable in such cases was the termination of the pregnancy which was so unfortunate for both the parent and the unborn child as well. PGD is used in the screening of chromosomally abnormal embryos to enhance low pregnancy rates and reduce the rate of miscarriages (Pray 1). Miscarriages are influenced by Vitro fertilization procedures caused by a chromosomal abnormality (Pray 3). The recent development of biotechnology however has reached its peak and it is already raising ethical issues. Nonetheless, although the modification of human genotype may help in achieving a perfect genetic composition and eliminate a number of genetically transmitted diseases, there is a looming risk. Looking at the few gene therapy trials that have resulted in deaths, the practice is raising a lot of skepticism (Pray 4). The consequences of this biological technology cannot be accurately predicated hence the hesitation to accept it. It has emerged that by eliminating one genetic disease, there is a risk of enhancing the risk of other complications. Genetic modification greatly reduces the entire human genetic diversity. Changing the human genotype to a perfect desired characteristic will reduce the possibility of having divergent genetic makeup. There will be enormous similarities among humans which translates to limited genetic diversity. This is a risk because diversity is what makes humanity what it is today. Nonetheless, we can never know what the ramifications of having a generation w
Introduction Leadership is the ability to steer people toward achieving goals. Leadership is a strategic position, and according to advanced leadership models, leaders can perform different roles. Leaders can perform the functions of management, mediation and even mentorship roles. These roles are clearly visible when leaders are managing programs or projects in the organization. Supervisory and leadership are critical in building healthy working relationships (Lewis, Packard & Lewis, 2007). Roles of Leadership Model The manager quality in leadership is particularly valuable. A leader is required posses administrative skills. Implementation of programs, like human service programs involve the allocation of resources. These resources have to be well employed and utilized in meeting the goals or objectives of programs. Therefore, as a manager, a leader must know how to deploy resources and organize work so that the goals are attained at the end of the program. As a mediator, a leader should have the ability to moderate work by listening to differing proposals and opinions, and crafting a lee way of working. Leaders should know how to broker mutual agreements between opposing forces in the team. As a mentor, the leader has to be exemplary to the team. He has to show that he or she is committed to the course or program. He must encourage the team and ensure that they remain focused (Lewis, Packard & Lewis, 2007). Elements of the supervisory process Supervision is a process, and its elements are brought out in the model which was developed by Schulman. These elements are in phases. The first phase, which is the preliminary phase, comes before the supervisor is assigned to a specific. In this phase, the feelings, personal fears and emotions of employees are assessed. It is followed by the beginning phase. The role of the supervisor is clarified. The supervisor is given direction and approach of facilitation. The ideas of the team are listened to by the supervisor so as to come up with a proper framework on which to work with the team in accomplishing the set goals. There is also the middle phase, where facilitation takes place. A number of skills are employed here; for instance, skills of problem solving so that common grounds can be reached with the entire team. Lastly, is the transition phase. This may entail the assignment of a new task, promotion or even resignation of the supervisor (Lewis, Packard & Lewis, 2007). Supervisory Challenges An employee may be promoted from his position to a supervisor. This takes time, and it is transitional. This requires highly developed skills as well as knowledge. Also, this calls for greater exercise of authority and responsibility. As
Community corrections are used to help offenders correct their behaviors before they re-enter the communities. The centers are pivotal to the successful reintegration of the offenders in the community. Community corrections also help in reducing crimes in the future by rehabilitating the offenders. The correctional centers act as an alternative to prison. A correctional center that reduces recidivism rates can be considered as a successful facility (Wetzel, Smeal, Bucklen, & McNaughton, 2012). Traditionally, community corrections were meant for persons who committed nonviolent crimes, such as crimes involving the use of substances, or theft crimes. However, the centers are now admitting persons who are sentenced for violent crimes, as well as those who have a history of crimes. However, these violent criminals have to first be screened by boards. Community corrections began to gain popularity in the 1970s, where offenders who were released from prison would be given residence in what used to be called half houses (Nieto, 1996). The pilot projects for the community correction programs were established in Colorado, Oregon, and the state of Minnesota. The establishment of correctional centers across the US became more popular in the late 1980s as a way of reducing overcrowding in prisons. Today, community correction centers offer local punishment alternatives. The punishment is meant to match the crime committed (Nieto, 1996). Historically, offenders would be taken to any correctional center, without considering the home community of the offender. However, research has shown that community correctional centers are more effective if they are located in the communities where the offenders return because the concept of “community” makes more sense. Currently, there is the use of reentry mapping, whereby returning offenders are attended to depending on the resources that are available in their local communities. Reentry maps are effective in showing where the offenders are returning and where additional correctional centers are needed. Reentry mapping holds the future to effective correctional centers (Wetzel et al., 2012). Given that the resources needed in correctional systems are finite, there is an increasing need to prioritize the highest risk offenders so that their likelihood of reoffending is reduced. Moreover, there is a need to focus on the individual needs of the offenders. Correctional centers have the tendency of placing various c
Introduction There have been developments and advanced research for the next-generation plasma nano processes through analysis of combinatorial plasma processes. The examinations carried out are aimed at determining the effectiveness and feasibility of the methodology based on surface morphologies and etching characteristics of plasma-polymer interactions (Setsuhara, Cho and Takenaka 6320). These two properties have been studied for PET films that have been exposed to mixture plasmas of argon and oxygen. The ion dose refers to the product of the exposure time and ion saturation current. It was observed that an increase in the ion dose led to a slight increase in surface roughness of the polymer and a monotonic decrease of the mean spacing after plasma exposure (Setsuhara, Cho and Takenaka 6320). Photovoltaic cells and flat panel displays, among other applications require next-generation devices, which has led to the development of organic-inorganic hybrid systems. The success of these systems requires scientific understanding of plasma-polymer interactions and optimization of plasma processing of polymers in terms of physical and chemical properties (Setsuhara, Cho and Takenaka 6320). Methodology Combinatorial methods were used to develop a plasma process analyzer, in order to establish scientific basis of plasma nano processes. During the study, the combinatorial plasma-process analyzer used the density-inclination plasmas (Setsuhara, Cho and Takenaka 6321). The principle used to determine the feasibility of the density inclination plasmas was the sustenance of discharge by localized profile of discharge-power deposition through inductive coupling of RF power with low-inductance antenna (LIA) modules. Localized deposition of discharge power was used to generate the density inclination plasmas (Setsuhara, Cho and Takenaka 6321). A cylindrical Langmuir with a platinum tip was used to measure ion saturation of current profiles along the substrate. The polyethylene terephthalate film used had a thickness of 100 μm. Attention was given to the plasma exposure time since the undesired heating of samples could increase the etching rate. A stylus surface profiler was used to measure the etching depth of the PET films through exposure to plasma, in the five samples located at various positions. An atomic force microscope was used to observe the surface roughness f the PET films (Setsuhara, Cho and Takenaka 6321). Various surface texture parameters were evaluated in the analysis of changes in surface morphologies before and after exposure to the argon-oxygen plasmas. These parameters were the average roughness and average spacing between profile irregularities (Setsuhara, Cho and Takenaka 6321). Results Figures were used to illustrate the distribution of ion saturation current as a function of the substrate position, where one of the parameters wa
Introduction When managers or commerce contract with the agreement as denotes of Procurement for their corporation, some issues viewing who the corporation will have the cooperation with exists in everyday practice. Procurement Management which is performed properly can be a precious instrument when battling this matter. The American Government is a superior organization that relies on suppliers to pay attention to lots of the logistics essential to keep the US government functioning effortlessly. US government does not possess the general staff or apparatus and supplies to construct its constructions or streets, so it has autonomous corporations submitted on agreements for this function. This technique of commerce has been so winning that it has moved most of its merchandise procurement. The nature of the industry The paper taken for the analysis describes the activity by the Swiss Association for Materials Management and Purchasing (SVME). It is necessary to mention, that the key benefit of the SVME, contrasted with other executive statistical data, is its quick accessibility. This joint Credit Suisse/SVME indicator offers an early impending into the present financial tendency in Switzerland. The SVME has proven particularly important in classifying immediate financial tendencies in the financial system as an entire one. Due to its close link with real Gross Domestic Product enlargement, recurring rotating tips have revealed a standard of three to six months period beforehand. Although the SVME “only” reproduces the developed area, there is a close affiliation with Gross Domestic Product: While the Swiss engineering sector now only reports for a bit more than a quarter of the whole production, it is still mainly accountable – due to its high command for examines – for the variations apparent within a commerce round. The Purchasing Managers’ Index is grounded on a monthly investigation of associates of the Swiss Association for Materials Management and Purchasing. This comprises a questionnaire for some 200 purchasing administrators at Swiss industrialized corporations about the commerce presentation in the current month contrasted to the preceding month. The matters are of a qualitative origin and submit to the entirety of eight spheres: productivity, excess of orders, amounts of acquires, acquiring prices (value index), dealers’ deliverance timetable, stores of acquisitions, stores of produced goods, and staff. After a simple computation, the consequent responses are included into eponymous sub-indexes, five of which then compose the prejudiced compound Purchasing Managers’ Index. Ethical issues Viewing the matters of ethics, it is necessary to mention, that the notion of ethics rega
