The article under analysis called Leadership in a Multicultural Arab Organisation considers the role of leadership styles, as well as supervisor-subordinate relationships, in increasing organizational performance and culture (Butler 139). The author provides an overview of connections between efficient decision-making and its influence on productivity levels in a company. The article starts with identifying leadership in terms of its relation to business performance. The researcher also provides a distinct analysis of leadership, particularly how it differs from managers. Further, the author proceeds with the assessing communication that is crucial in promoting leadership skills. Therefore, leaders should be able to generate favorable behavioral patterns and shape an effective organizational environment. With an emphasis on organizational culture, leaders should be able to use power effectively to influence other people. As a result of such relations, leaders evoke certain moods, expectations, and images which later allow managers to carry specific roles. To emphasize importance of leadership for organizational performance, the author also touches on the problem of cultural diversity in Arab multicultural organizations. Implementing specific leadership styles can both encourage and motivate employees to work more enthusiastically. Therefore, concept of cultural diversity comes to the forth. At the end of the studies, the scholar concludes that leadership should underline charisma to attract employees’ attention and increase their satisfaction. It has also been found that commitment to organizational goals is strongly associated with quality of relations between supervisors and their subordinates. Clarity and Usefulness The article has well organized and transparent structure. The author’s ideas closely relate to the structure and organization and provide the readers with the overall concepts and connections. Therefore, the article is consistent and logical. In addition, the article is useful because it highlights aspects and challenges of managing cultural diversity in UAE. The author has managed to shed light on leadership in a narrow cultural concept. The author also presents information about features and conditions under which multicultural organization can improve its performance. In addition to the consistent structure, the article provides a number of reliable evidence stipulating the usefulness of the research under consideration. In particular, the authors provides similar research studies related to cross-cultural issues. Research Methodology The study is based on a qualitative methodology which allows to analyze 137 employees working in a multicultural Arab company. By means of Likert scale, the participants had to choose seven variants of answers, which ensure greater objectivity of the text
Introduction Modern biology is characterized by the development of instrumental methods of scientific analysis, which allow us to obtain qualitative answers to the questions posed by the discipline. Thus, a significant area of interest in the biological sciences is phylogeny, which aims at a profound study of the relationship between taxa in the light of the evolutionary transformations of life on Earth. For these studies, there is a set of developed instrumental methods of analysis, among which DNA barcoding deserves special attention. In general, such a procedure should be understood as a method of molecular biology that allows one to make accurate judgments about the membership of a species in a taxon, using short fragments of a DNA sample as evidence (DeSalle and Goldstein, 2019). To put it another way, DNA barcoding should be seen as a method that greatly accelerates species identification processes using a minimal sequence of genetic material. The efficiency of this instrumental method is built on the idea of close similarity in the structure of DNA molecules — to be more precise, the arrangement of nucleotides in it — between closely related species: the closer the classification relatedness, the higher the percentage of similarity in alignment. As a consequence, if one has the DNA sequence of some suspected species as a reference point, it becomes possible to determine, using DNA barcoding, how closely the sample under study is evolutionarily related to them. The use of benchmarks of the genetic material of already studied species is a necessary measure for the present study. More specifically, to determine the classification position of an unknown specimen in a taxon sequenced DNA sequences for Co rn poaceae, Pine pinaceae, Magnolia magnoliaceae, and Grape vitaceae were used. The gene of the Unknown specimen was selected for use in the present work, which turned out to be Hibiscus punaluuensis at the end of the study. The high confidence in the correspondence between the given unknown specimen and Hibiscus punaluuensis is justified by the use of digital phylogeny tools and the study of the Hibiscus punaluuensis genome separately. The working hypothesis of the experiment was that it was expected that plants with closer relatedness should be more strongly related to each other. In practice, this is expressed by the proximity of species on the phylogenetic tree, which means a higher percentage of DNA overlap in their alignment. The present study aims to qualitatively summarize the results obtained in order to establish the Unknown specimen. Procedure Carolina Biological Supply Company: Using DNA Barcodes to Identify and Classify Living Things (211385P) was used as the methodological guide for this report, so the test steps became largely a repeat of the laboratory measures
South Africa is ranked by the world Health Organization among the top countries with a high tuberculosis strain. Studies have shown that the highest prevalence of TB is at the Western Cape Province. A significant risk has been noted in healthcare facilities at Tygerberg hospital in Kwa Zulu natal province where a considerable risk in nosocomial transmission of tuberculosis has been noted. An infection prevention and controls programme in the country has established that although there is an adequate supply of protective training, great emphasis needs to be directed on training and understanding of the infection and controls programs. Studies have continued to indicate that concurrent human immunodeficiency virus, poverty, ignorance, overcrowding and other related factors have continued to hamper the control efforts from those tasked with the responsibility of controlling the disease. Consequently, high treatment interruption rates, the HIV epidemic, low cure rates have contributed to the emergence of multi drug resistance tuberculosis in South Africa; this has been blamed on the adoption of inappropriate treatment programmes as well as patient factors that include a lack of adherence to the treatment regimen. The emergence of the multi drug resistance strain of TB can be adduced to a systematic failure in the global community to contain the disease which is curable (Gandhi, et al, 2006). Efforts have been directed in the prevention and containment of TB in South Africa. Primary prevention aims to stop communicable diseases from spreading. This effort is therefore directed at people in the community who have not yet been infected. The most notable aspect of primary prevention is through vaccination this helps in the abolition of the routes of disease transmission. Other measures such as behavioral counseling have been high in a bid to contain transmission. That coupled with early diagnoses, risk counseling, training of prevention services are primary strategies that have been adopted to contain new infections in the highl
Introduction Funding a start-up is a crucial step to success; only having the right investor can the start-up reach its goals and raise income. There is a knowledge gap based on the lack of understanding of fundraising ways. What is the best choice for acquiring funding, venture capital, or private equity? To answer this question, the following objectives were set:   * To understand the difference between venture capitals and private equities   * To describe the main benefits and drawbacks of each   * To decide which one is preferable for a start-up. Literature Review Cremades (2016) claims that “By building the product first, entrepreneurs establish ownership, control and lead” (p. 5). This means looking for funding after having established the business plan would be much more beneficial. As a start-up founder, one can approach a venture capital or a private equity firm. The literature on the topic included materials on ways of fundraising (Busulwa, 2020; Cremades, 2016), literature describing venture capitals and private equities (Lahr, 2018; Manigart, 2017; Crane, 2018; Islam, 2018). Also, some articles on cases of successful and unsuccessful cases fundraising (Harris, 2016; Brown, 2019) were examined. All these components help to answer the research questions:   * What are the main ways of investing for an entrepreneur?   * What are venture capitals and private equities?   * How venture capitals and private equities are beneficial? Research variables included the amounts granted by both venture capitals and private equities, how much of a start-up they will control, and what is the success rate of using each method. The research framework for understanding what the best way to fund a start-up is can be described using this scheme: Research Design The research was based on a quantitative design, including reviewing the cases of using venture capitals and private equities to determine the success rate. The strategy of the research was a survey, which allowed both to develop theoretical knowledge on the topic and discover the ways of practical application. The primary data involved the main features of a start-up and requirements for fundraising, as well as characteristics of venture capitals and private equities. The secondary data included statistics on cases of application of these fundraising methods. The samples were taken based on the specification and the size of start-ups. The research data was collected by way of measuring the amounts given by venture capitals and private equities and the income that followed.
The Promotional Portfolio: Developing New Efficient Tools When it comes to establishing a new business, running a restaurant presupposes quite the same complexities and opportunities as any other kind of entrepreneurship (Garvey, Dismore & Dismore, 2011). In the case study in question, the restaurant entitled William Blue Dining is being depicted and the various ways of improving its state of affairs are being considered. With the help of a range of adequate ideas, the company can actually become a great success. Promotional offer: choosing the right words To start with, the promotional offer has to be introduced. According to Smith & Schulz, promotional offer is a range of services and/or goods that are going to be introduced into the target market and promoted to the public (Smith & Schulz, 2004). Hence, in the context of the restaurant services, the specific cuisine has to be promoted efficiently. According to the report in question, the major asset of the William Blue Dining is the fact that every single bit of food there is “live”, i.e., is cooked immediately after the client orders a dish. Hence, the promotion must be focused on offering “live” cuisine. As a matter of fact, the phrase “live cuisine from all over the world” can actually serve as a motto for the restaurant. Advertisement: let the world know about the restaurant As for the press release, it will be aimed at making the restaurant known even better by the people from all the continents where the William Blue Dining affiliates are located. With the help of an elaborate advertisement strategy, one can possibly attract even more clients to the restaurant. Hence, the objective of the advertising campaign is to make the world talk about William Blue Dining. As for the advertising strategy, it will be quite suitable to create a memorable TV and online commercial that will not be annoying, but make people pay attention to what William Blue Dining has to offer. Press release: concerning the technical issues The suppose press release will be aimed at making the restaurant popularity even bigger. In addition, with the help of a press release, William Blue Dining will cement its position not only among the
For a school principal, it is paramount to make correct decisions that will allow for improving the effectiveness of the school and enhancing the quality of the education provided for its students. However, one person can’t be able to take into account all the nuances of every situation that occurs in such a large organization as a school. Therefore, it is pivotal that the principal consults with the school’s educational staff; in particular, it is stated that primarily, the best teachers in the school should be asked for such advice. When considering a change in the school, creating new rules, routines, etc., an efficacious principal should consider what the best teachers will think of this innovation. It is stated that there exist several reasons for this. For instance, in the situation when the best teachers in the school do not think that something is a good idea, it might be unlikely that the rest of the educational staff will agree with this idea. Also, when the best educators are convinced that an idea is bad, it may be highly probable that the idea is, indeed, bad. Therefore, the best teachers should be consulted because they will very often offer a sober assessment and constructive criticism of the idea in question. Because they are the best teachers in the school, it is highly probable that their advice will be most useful. (However, it is noted that the principal should take care to avoid the situation when the best teachers would be considered their “pets.”) On the other hand, mediocre teachers (or even the “backbone” educators) may not give such a constructive assessment of the new idea or might react badly to it merely because of being reluctant to implement it. It is also emphasized that the implementation of change should also start with the best teachers in the school, not the mediocre ones. This is because the best educators are most likely to start implementing a new idea most productively if they are indeed the high performers. First, suppose the principal has already asked for their approval and recommendations. He has taken both into account, which is reflected in the idea that is accepted for implementation. Then, these teachers will most clearly see the benefits of this change – because they approved it and assisted in shaping it. Therefore, it is very likely that they will introduce it with the most extraordinary enthusiasm. Also, they will be most likely to know how to better realize it in practice because they helped formulate it. Also, due to the best teachers’ enthusiasm, introducing the change with these educators will be much easier than with other teachers, who may feel worried that it will not work or that they will not be able to implement it properly. On the other hand, when the “backbone” and “mediocre” educators will see that their colleagues have successfully utilized the new methods, they often will be more willing t
Introduction The application of information technology is an integral part of contemporary life. Various technologies are successfully implemented in the spheres of healthcare, education, business, economics, etc. A properly selected technology increases efficiency and helps to save time in many projects. One of the fields that cannot function without information technology is business. In the Information Age, technology influences almost every business area. Human resources is not an exception. The cooperation of IT and HR executives contribute to companies’ efficiency and success in the market. However, this cooperation will be not possible without proper guidance. Thus, there is a need for common efforts of HR and IT executives to develop strategies for a fruitful collaboration of their teams. A Strategy for HR and IT Professionals’ Cooperation The positive influence of IT on HR performance is supported by research (Saberi & Khademi, 2015). In fact, IT is a moving power in the progress of HR development. It is a part of globalization processes and contributes to the efficiency of HR management. Thus, the productive cooperation of HR and IT professionals is crucial for every company. Since HR is a multifunctional sphere, the implementation of IT can touch its various aspects. For example, IT can be useful in keeping HR records, processes of recruitment, and selection as well as training and development, HR planning and performance management, etc. (Bramhaver, 2016). Moreover, it can be a tool for work-time control, administrative work, employee self-service, and payment procedures. A strategy for cooperation between HR and IT services should be based on certain principles, have clear common goals, and follow a plan of action. The principles for this cooperation can include the following: principle of equal responsibility, involvement, consolidation, and shared benefits. Common strategic goals of HR and IT services should follow the primary goals of the company. They include goals such as the provision of data security, following the interests of employees, bringing together interests of the company with those of workers, promoting resource and cost-saving technologies, and building long-term efficient cooperation. The goals can be changed depending on the demands of the company’s strategy. A plan of action should be developed in a way to empower the strategic goals. First of all, the activity of both executives should be concentrated on business. Since they both work for the same company, they should unite and focus on general business goals and procedures (Robb, 2014). Moreover, their task is to interpret the information for their teams. The second step of a plan includes the involvement of IT into some HR decisions. For example, it is advisable to attract IT service in case any HR software is required because it may be not compatible with the existing programs (Robb, 2014). The third step of the strategy is the development of the integrated recording system which will include the necessary information and be safe to provide the need
Definition of Critical Realism Critical realism came into existence as German philosophers attempted to deal with idealist philosophy that was common towards the end of the 18 th century. It became popular among proponents of the American philosophy movement in 1916. The intention of introducing critical realism was to combine idealism with the perception that human beings could know the true nature of their world through new realism, which argued that the external world was not different from the way it appeared. Critical realism emerged in 1966, after Ian Barbour, a philosopher discussed theological and scientific realism (Clark, 2013). Critical realism has several major themes. The first one is that it acknowledges the presence of a reality that is not influenced by human perception and conception. The mechanisms that explain the reality affect what human beings observe. Naturally, the underlying mechanism is the natural laws whose effects are visible. Critical realism is also applicable in social contexts although it is difficult to make predictions. The involvement of human beings in the creation of social rules leads to constant changes. Critical realism provides a description of past or current events but does not create certainty about the future (Critical Realism, 2013). Critical realism is criticized since it is not clear whether experimental results can provide theories in a natural setting. Mere observation of particular results does not confirm that theories advanced in an attempt to explain what leads to the results are empirically accurate (Response to Critical Realism in Defense of Integral Theory, 2012). How to Measure Creativity There are different indicators that can be used to measure the creativity of an individual. The first indicator is inquisitiveness. An inquisitive person is a person who questions, investigates, explores, and challenges assumptions. Such a person does not accept things as they are told to him/her but goes ahead to look for the truth. The second indicator of a creative person is persistence (Mary, 2012). This refers to the ability to withstand difficult situations, tolerate uncertainty, and dare to do things
To address the financial issues faced by Bright Road, a complete overhaul of the system is required. In regard to late payments from insurers, billings are made on a fee-based schedule. The insurers do not pay on time and refuse to pay penalties because of the common coding and billing errors by Bright Road. According to Dr. Halpert, this could be improved in two ways, a better billing software system which is supported by electronic health records, as well as improved discharge procedures to make sure physicians and administrative staff correctly input data (Campbell & Rankin, 2016). Readmission rates can be reduced by improving patient care and education. This can be done through both physician and patient training. Dr. Fairbanks suggests that enhanced education at discharge, as well as an available hotline to the hospital, will allow patients to better take care of themselves at home and avoid any post-release complications that will lead to readmissions. Staff turnover can be reduced via a multifaceted approach which also addresses other issues facing the hospital. Improved EHR and technology to help with information input for nurses and prescriptions can free up time spent on patients as well as help with reimbursements. That will improve both the quality and quantity of care, leading to fewer readmissions, less stress, and better morale (Dickerson & Latina, 2017). The CNO also mentioned improving the work environment by offering nurses support and a reward system, potentially also offering raises. Meanwhile, low admission to obstetrics can also be improved through technology, both recordkeeping and childbirth-related. This will improve nursing care, and the intimate setting with patients, which Bright Road maintains is a strong suit. A targeted marketing campaign can be costly but produce higher admissions with appropriate changes in places at the facility.
