Introduction The performance objectives defined by Slack (1995) may be regarded as the key importance factors for the successful business performance. The aim of the paper is to analyze these objectives for a company, which is engaged in a hospitality industry. The actual importance of this analysis is explained by the fact that the performance objectives are closely associated with the effectiveness of performing the stated business assignments; hence, these objectives should be assessed deeply. Analysis The key objectives defined by Slack (1995) are as follows: quality, speed, dependability, flexibility and cost. The analyzed company is engaged in the sphere of hospitality and bases its performance on observing the key principles of hospitality from the perspective of Slacks analyses. Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas is engaged in the sphere of hotel business for tourists who came to search some luck in casinos of Las Vegas, and who appreciate the atmosphere of classic rock and hard rock. In general, the stated objectives are quite important for the successful performance, as the company needs to attract as much target audience as possible, for rock admirers stopped their choice on this hotel. The analysis of the aspects is based on the key principles which are pursued by the hotel management for providing the high quality services that are positioned as the hook of the industry.   * Quality. High quality services is the key importance factor for the successful performance. In general, it involves the comfort of the rooms and services, increased comfort of registering and paying for the services provided. Thus, the policy of simplified registration has been provided.   * Speed. Speed of the services is required for saving customers’ time which is rather precious for them. Hence, high quality and high speed services will be highly appreciated by those customers that appreciate their own time.   * Dependability. The consumers should depend on the organization. In fact, the actual importance of this factor is explained by the fact that consumers should not even let an assumption that other companies exist. Hence, all the requirements and preferences of a consumer should be performed quickly and in default regime. Hence, the visitors of Hard Rock Hotel should be provided with high quality music, meals in the genre of hard rock, and then taxi to airport or casino.   * Flexibility. This presupposes the changes in prices or orders of providing services depending on seasonal changes, personal attitude towards visitors or just favor for those who needs it. Hence, some instances of such flexibility involve free taxi to airport for those who are “at ground level” after a failure to catch the luck in casino.   * Cost. This factor is regarded as one of the defining, as people will not wish to pay an unreasonably increased price even for high quality services, high speed of services, flexibility t
Introduction The story “Rapunzel” by Grimm Brothers discusses a man and wife who are married. They long for a child and wait unsuccessfully for so long. The man loves the wife so much that when she feels she would die for not being in a position to reach the rampion planted in the neighborhood, he is ready to fetch it for her by climbing through the tall wall surrounding the field rather than seeing her wife died. The owner, the enchantress, demands that she will take a child from them for exchange with rampion. The child (Rapunzel) is taken and hidden far away. A son of a king finds her, falls in love with her, and finally marries her. The story is rich with incidences of love and hatred, peace and conflict, feelings of hope and despair, as well as incidences where the people show determination and experience feelings of worth and well-being. It can therefore benefit in the interpretation of psychological eros versus Thanatos and oedipal conflict as shall be seen in this paper. Thanatos and Eros in the Story “Rapunzel” At the beginning of the story “Rapunzel”, we see a situation where a man loves his wife and both are hopeful that God would grant them a child, even after waiting for a long time. Such feelings of hope and desire are connected with the eros instinct. Nevertheless, almost immediately, we see the woman falling into a state of despair and hopelessness for lack of rampion. This indicates that the life of the two is a mixture of both the feelings of eros and Thanatos at the same time. Thanatos is regarded as the “stimulus” of removing “disruptive stimuli” in organisms by having them turn into an “inorganic” status or death. In
In any given setup, an acceptable code of conduct is always emphasized. Many people and entities have become victims of unethical computer use; this thread comes fro people with ill motives. This vice has lately exposed the internet users to unprecedented mischievous tricks of cyber criminals. The act has created various problems, controversies and is now being viewed by many as unethical. This essay will endeavor to scrutinize recent issues in the media such as newspapers and magazines about cases related to the internet fraud, spam, identity theft, and hacking, among others. Four Indicted in Giant College Spam Operation The first case under consideration involved two brothers from Giant College who were charged with crimes related to generating e-mail spams intended for college students. The accused allegedly sold products worth millions of shillings to students using the trick. According to the acting U.S. attorney for the Western District of Missouri, the plot affected almost all the colleges and Universities in the United States. These brothers are said to have designed a program that obtained e-mail addresses and used them to unlawfully access the affected students’ accounts. They then sent them spam e-mails about the sale of their products such as digital cameras and pepper sprays (Gross, para. 1). They lied to their targets about their products and ownership of their company and made a lot of profit through this scheme by buying goods in large quantities and reselling them. The practice cost the affected colleges a fortune. The administration also had to use large sums of money to restore their computer networks that were affected as a result of the hacking. They also had to install expensive defensive measures to protect them from any future attacks. In my opinion, this action acted as a wake-up call for administrators of colleges and companies that they ought to ensure that their networks were safe from such intrusions. Sky News admits two counts of computer hacking In April 2012, it was reported that Sky News had acknowledged that it had approved several hacking incidences of e-mail accounts belonging to persons. It started in 2008 with a case involving a man known as John Darwin who dominated the British media headlines at that time. He disappeared during a trip and had faked his death to enable his wife Anne to obtain life insurance money. He later presented himself to the police after five years with an allegation that he had lost his memory (Thomson, para. 4). A Sky News reporter was permitted to hack an e-mail account that Darwin was suspected to had been using. The hackers revealed his photo together with the wife a
“White Teeth” by Zadie Smith is a novel about two special families united by destiny. Is seems that fate has played a hand in the whole matter and condemned the two families together for life. However, the story also satirizes multiculturalism and upholds fundamentalism. Smith presents multiculturalism as a dilemma that is inevitable but almost impossible to perfect. No more has the author of the novel successfully satirizes multiculturalism than in the two twin brothers Millat and Magid Iqbal. The two men are a representation not only of the perils of multicultural communities but also mirror individuals fighting identity crises. Despite the fact that the two are twins Millat and Magid are not the friendliest of brothers and do not shy away from fighting out their differences in public. The irony of it is that despite the fact that the twins are so different it can also be said that they are mirror images of each others. Magid and Millat are polar opposites. Despite the t the two being twins, the differences play out in public from the onset of their birth. Magid is the elder of the twin by the virtue of him being the born first. This causes Millat to develop deep seated feeling of personal inadequacy and feels less of an Iqbal than his first born twin brother Magid. Millat feels that this is the reason why his father develops a special liking for Magid and as such feels like he is the lesser of the Iqbal thus: “What is the root cause” Millat’s feelings of inadequacy? Magid. He has been born second because of Magid. He was the lesser son because of Maqid” (Smith 462). It is through this sense of inadequacy that Smith brings out the issue of identify crisis. Millat feels the lesser iqbad, and as such seeks attention of his father in negative behaviors. His father doesn’t help thing and shows Magid more favoritism driving Millat further into rebellion. Smith’s satirization of multiculturalism is seen in the cultural identity crises in the two brothers. Samad, the twins’ father, wants his sons not to lose their cultural heritage and as such pushes them to learn his traditional Mangal Pande Islamic faith just as he had done. As such he sends Magid back to Bangladesh so as he can be taught while Millat remains in England. The irony of this is that the two rebel against their fathers wishes. Magid, intend becomes more English and a largely philosophical atheist and is only interested in pursuing law in England. Millat who grows up in England rebels against the English culture and joins a rebel Muslim group, Kevin. In this way the Magid and Millat can be seen as identical: identical in that they are both rebels. Samat blames the western culture for corrupting his sons and thus laments: I should never have brought my children here so far from God” (Smith 145). Magid and Millat are thus emblematic of the perils of multiculturalism through their identity crises, as well as fundamentalism. They both rebel against the wishes of their father to join radical groups. Magid becomes an atheist while Millat becomes a
High-level Plan In order to implement the project, the Ministry of Labor (MOL) should first identify the main goals that should be achieved. Furthermore, one should be aware of possible challenges that can emerge in the future. In this case, it is critical to control the inspections processes and measure the degree to which employers and inspectors comply with the regulations introduced by MOL. Overall, it is possible to work out a high-level plan that includes the following tasks:  1. First of all, it is necessary to make sure that inspectors provide accurate assessment of the practices adopted by employers working in Saudi Arabia. Thus, people, who will evaluate employers’ compliance with new regulations, should keep in mind that the results of their reports can be verified. This is one of the strategies that can be adopted.  2. Secondly, MOL should minimize the impact of subjective opinion on the evaluation process. In other words, the evaluation procedures should be designed in such a way that inspectors can rely on clear criteria while assessing the work of different organizations. This is one of the main issues that should be taken into account because inspectors should remain impartial when interacting with employers. This task can be viewed as the cornerstone of this project.  3. Furthermore, policy-makers should reduce the impact of inspection processes on the performance of businesses. Therefore, it is vital to identify the authority of inspectors who should not create significant inconveniences for Saudi companies. This is one of the main risks that should be minimized.  4. Apart from that, MOL should identify criteria according to which the work of inspectors should be evaluated. These professionals should have a clear idea about the performance standards that should be met. Their expertise and integrity are essential for the implementation of this project.  5. Finally, public administrators should develop a schedule for inspection processes and analysis of collected data. One should bear in mind that there will be 7.000 inspectors, and it may take a considerable amount of time to examine their reports. These are the main elements of this plan. On its basis, one can single out specific steps that should be taken in the future. This approach to this project will be more productive because it will enable MOL to avoid delays or false conclusions about the practices of Saudi employers who must follow new labor policies adopted by MOL. List of Deliverables Additionally, one can distinguish the most important deliverables that this project should produce. It is important to focus on the following aspects:  1. Increased accountability of inspectors;  2. Objective evaluation of employers’ business practices and their compliance with new labor laws;  3. Impartial evaluation of inspector’s performance;  4. Accurate reports about the impact of new laws and regulations on employers and their business practices. These are the main aspects of this project. MOL should determine whether employers are willing and able to comply with the regulations that were introduced. Under such circumstance, inspectors will pla
Introduction There are a number of programs on smoking cessation design for employees that are premised on various data analysis techniques. Despite the diversity of data collection methods, all the programs are aimed at improving employees’ lifestyles and creating new incentives for increasing employees’ productivity and performance. Moreover, there is a growing trend in evaluating the practices and improving the strategies on creating a program. The systematic evaluation can allow managers to solve problems and help community-based organizations to improve the quality of services and working conditions. Despite the veritable understanding of evaluation of program evaluation, there is a need for creating a comprehensive framework. Therefore, analysis of other frameworks for programs on smoking cessation will help to integrate successful data collection and analysis methods that can contribute to the quality of program outcomes. The evaluation process implies investigating worth, significance, and merits of efforts made during the program implementation. Invention of new methods and approaches has been developed to embrace the multiple aspects of the program, define its strengths and weaknesses, and outline significance and main elements of the data collection process. All these procedures will provide a better understanding of how the program can be improved and modified to reach greater objectives and goals. Finally, the evaluation process has great importance for governmental organizations that assess the usefulness and validity of the programs for future implementation in other settings. The program under analysis focuses on a smoking cessation opportunity for employees. It involved 70 participants who plan to quit smoking; 11 participants managed to quit smoking, which pointed to the success of the program and its future potential. Certainly, though the ratio of the participants who had quit smoking was not significant, there were still methods and alternative researches that could help understand how to improve this program and increase the number of employees who were ready to give up smoking. Main Discussion Integrating Data Collection Methods into the Program Evaluation Plan With regard to the above-presented background, the program involved only 70 participants and it was based on a local hospital in Ohio. The success of the program is evident because it was primarily based on observation process, as well as on the results of employees’ interviewing in a natural setting. Nevertheless, the framework within which the program was implemented did not allow the researchers to create great effect on the participants. In this respect, it is purposeful to assess related programs on smoking cessation to define which methods could be integrated into data collection methods. The studies by Shershneva et al. (2011) have introduced a spectrum of approaches and methods that allowed the researchers to reach over 43,000 clini
Introduction Sherri (2012) points out that the T-test is a statistical test where the statistic that is being tested follows a t distribution when the null hypothesis is supported. The test was first used way back in 1908 by a chemist who was working in a brewery in Ireland. This paper aims at assessing how the t-test was applied in the study entitled Characteristics of Nurse Practitioners Interested in Participating in a Practice- Based Research Network (PBRN) by Sharon M. Meyer and James J. Werner. The findings of the study were published in the 22 nd volume of Journal of American Academy of Nurse Practitioners . The above research article incorporates non- parametric tests (or what Sherri, 2012, refers to as t-tests). In this paper, the author will provide a brief summary and report of the statistics, with the aim of finding out whether the assumptions of the test were met. The author will also analyze whether the data used was appropriate for the test. In the paper, the research will describe the statistics they intend to analyze in the article, provide a brief description of the study by the two authors, describe how the statistics were used in the study as well as explain how this usage was appropriate or inappropriate for the particular study. The author will also analyze how the two authors met (or failed to meet) the assumptions made and address the appropriateness of the level of measurement. This is in addition to a discussion of the how the data was displayed and an examination of the appropriateness (or lack of it thereof) of the data displays or presentation. Study Description Practice- based research networks (herein referred to as PBRNs) are ambulatory practices which are mainly devoted to providing primary care to patients. PBRNs also provide information on how community- based programs are being implemented. This is especially important when it comes to monitoring and evaluation of the programs. In this regard, they have become essential laboratories that make it possible for researchers to conduct primary care studies. However, there is lack of enough information on the number of nurse practitioners (herein referred to as NPs) who are interested in participating in PBRN. The study in focus outlined the characteristics of those NPs who expressed interest in participating in PBRN in the northeast (NE) Ohio region and how they compared to the characteristics of state and national NPs. The researchers contacted 1016 NPs in NE Ohio through the internet and mail. They collected information on the characteristics of their practice and demographics. The study was to find out whether there was a significant difference between the characteristics of the NE Ohio NPs and state and national NPs. It was also meant to determine whether the characteristics of NE Ohio NPs were significantly different from those of the control group depending on whether or not the informants would participate in future PBRN studies. The study concluded that the characteristics of the NPs in NE Ohio were comparable to those o
Ethical concerns In most child and adolescent cases, a combination of various methods is necessary to deliver a multidimensional treatment plan. The three primary broad modes of treatment in child and adolescent psychiatry are physical, psychological, and social treatments. Within these modes are medication treatments that spark controversy due to the limited, controlled research on adolescents and children. Therefore, the use of medication is largely based on clinical experience rather than controlled experimentation (Ebert, Loosen, Nurcombe, & Leckman, 2008). It is of upmost importance that the treating prescriber exhaust all other methods of treatment prior to recommending and seeking parental consent for the use of psychotropic medication. Principles prior to medication treatment Prior to prescribing medication to children and adolescents, the clinician should first obtain a detailed medical and medication history that includes illicit drug use. Second, the medication and treatment should be linked to a larger treatment modality that is consistent with the diagnostic formulation. Third, the family should be involved in the treatment plan with full parental consent prior to beginning a medication treatment. Fourth, the decision to prescribe medication should be directed at treating symptoms rather than disorders. Fifth, the clinician should communicate with school representatives to ascertain a thorough perspective of symptoms and behavior while at school. Sixth, a detailed physical exam, including laboratory tests, should be obtained prior to starting prescribed medication to rule out organic causes and contraindicated conditions. And seventh, the prescriber should document a risk to benefit analysis that is peer-reviewed (Ebert, Loosen, Nurcombe, & Leckman, 2008). Medication guidelines If medication is started, the drug with the least threat of danger, as well as, the best evidence of effectiveness should be utilized. Combination therapy should only be utilized when a suitable trial is unsuccessful. When medication begins, the dosage should be low, and increased gradually. When discontinuing medication, the process should include a steady taper unless no risk is noted with abrupt discontinuation. It is imperative that the clinician quantify goals and monitor progress, including checking for side effects while on medication, regularly. In addition, the medication should be prescr
