Introduction An entrepreneur must understand the market’s requirements and then reintroduce the same notion uniquely and creatively to attract consumers’ attention in an established market. Conversely, if a crowded market with prominent established firms battling global and local market share, obtaining shares in a neglected or otherwise untapped sector demands a wholly fresh, unique, and inventive concept. An idea is a fundamental notion explored but not executed, while ideation concretizes such abstract ideas into concepts (Laverty & Littel, 2020). Thus, to be successful as an entrepreneur involves developing visionary ideas artistically by adding aesthetic appeal and sufficiently inventing them into a product. Inventing and creating new products involves researching upcoming news and ideas that can be used to develop an innovative product to grasp customers’ attention. An entrepreneur can utilize surveys, interviews, observation, and market research, as an innovative systematic methodology to ascertain the newest trends and patterns within a market (Pittaway, 2021). Additionally, the entrepreneur can creatively use “passion” and “bug-me-list” ideation processes to produce ideas based on personal expertise and experience to land a lucrative business opportunity (Pittaway, 2021). For instance, “passion” and “bug-me-list” ideations represent an individual’s interest and excitement for specific themes or hobbies linked to current initiatives or market gaps via repeated brainstorming. Creative, Innovation, and Ideation Tools The cognitive capabilities of humans have well-recognized limits. These well-recognized limits might result in market instability owing to the uneven distribution of the same information across the population (Alvarez et al., 2020). This disequilibrium creates a market gap that an entrepreneur might benefit from due to a rapid shift in the supply and demand of various items. However, since it is dangerous to take such a risk without proper expertise, ideation strategies increase vigilance when identifying the patterns and gaps caused by the disequilibrium within the market on what innovative products to use to fill such gaps (da Silva Lopes et al., 2019). For example, pattern identification, brainstorming, and word association increase awareness of potential possibilities by spotting market gaps or disequilibrium. An entrepreneur must innovatively use these tools; pattern identification, brainstorming, and word association to gain a competitive advantage in a competitive market. For instance, by asking straightforward questions, brainstorming approaches such as SCAMPER may help solve issues or uncover possibilities that the entrepreneur can employ to gain a competitive advantage (Serra
The education system of Qatar is somewhat different from that of the United Kingdom. As you are aware, Qatar’s education is focused more on the quality of education, while preserving the traditional Islamic culture; most subjects are taught in Arabic (Statistics Authority 2009). Therefore, take note that the UK’s system of education uses English as the language of instruction (HMC 2015). You should know that the UK’s system of education has five main stages, starting with the early years of schooling, through primary school, secondary education, further education, and finally higher education. If you are travelling with any child, then be advised that education in the UK is mandatory for all children aged between 5 and 16 years (Government of UK 2014). It is a different system from your home country, where the system of education is categorized into pre-school education, primary education, preparatory education, secondary education, and higher education, with primary education being mandatory for all children (UNESCO 2011). Remember that education in Qatar has been modified to suit different needs; therefore, there is specialized education, secondary school of commerce, scientific secondary schools, special education, literacy and adult education, the Languages Institute, Department of Training and Vocational Development, and the Qatari Center for the Gifted and Creative (Statistics Authority 2009). Like Qatar, the UK also has a provision for private education. Schooling in the UK during the early years is offered mostly by private kindergartens (HMC 2015). You can obtain more information regarding education from the Department for Education, which is located in Manchester. The type of currency used in Qatar is different from the one used in the United Kingdom. Unlike Qatar Riyal, the UK uses the Sterling Pound as its currency (Cuhaj 2012). You should note that one-hundred pence are equivalent to one Sterling Pound. Coins in the UK are normally in the denomi
Human Resource Management (HRM) is defined as an approach that stresses the connections between an organization and its employees, and outlooks labour management as a considered variable that has a significant influence on the performance of the organization (Balnave, Brown, Maconachie, and Stone 22). In simple terms, HR is also referred to people management because in practice it handles various issues influencing individual employees. HR is very significant and influential in achieving the best performance. Although, HRM transpires in the organization, external factors and forces also play a significant role in understanding internal decision-making. HRM has developed over the past few decades. Policies and specialists in the field have emerged with common objectives of integrating cost effectiveness with business strategy, promoting quality of goods and services, promoting flexibility; adapting to changing environments and circumstances and promoting commitment by lowering absenteeism and increasing turnover. To achieve these objectives, HR managers have to formulate a framework of systems, practices, and policies that influence employees’ attitudes, performance, and behavior (Balnave, Brown, Maconachie, and Stone 25). HRM deals with employee management in numerous issues that include rewards and payments; HRM rewards employees for good performance and pays them even for overtime or gives them bonus based on the organization’s policies or guidelines. In addition, employees get performance appraisals and development to promote commitment and dedication thus boosting overall performance of the organization. Moreover, HRM offers recruitment, selection, and training in order to boost employee competence in their fields of work (Balnave, Brown, Maconachie, and Stone 26). Furthermore, HRM undertakes the legal obligations of employees, resolves conflicts among them and handles stakeholders. Internally, HRM may work hand in hand with other departments within the organization and may be externally involved in trade unions. In HRM, the work involved is categorized into various levels including operational, managerial, and strategic ones. In the operational level, work involved includes administration, payroll, leave, and superannuation. The second one, the managerial level, involves promotion, recruitment and selection, performance administration systems, development and training programs (Balnave, Brown, Maconachie, and Stone 29). On the other hand, the strategic level handles workforce planning, corporate culture, corporate strategy, and organizational advancement. With HRM, organizations seek to gain their strategic goals and planning, with the main aspect being to gain competitive advantage. This is achieved by improving and supporting s
Abstract Only through good and constant communication between the customers and suppliers can 3PLs turn away doubts that customers may have of the logistics providers. 3PLs is a trend that has evolved over time, and will continue to have major impacts on the supply chain as discussed in this paper. Introduction Third Party Logistics are companies that engage in linking shippers with appropriate transportation services (Barratt 2004, p 30; Fulconis, Saglietto and Pache 2006, p. 69). Most 3PLs are in transportation and warehousing as others expand their service offerings to full-service supply chain management. Evolution of the concept, historical background, current trends and context Earlier on, third party logistics mediated shippers and asset providers in the supply chain (Palaneeswarann & Humphrey 2000, p. 661). However, the 3PLs concept has evolved from their focus on pure intermediaries on the supply chain, to brokers and value-added providers (Hertz & Alfredsson 2003, p. 141). Description of the supply chain practice including its key elements Brewer and Speh (2000, p. 78) affirm that third part logistics combines transportation, distribution, and optimized inventory to create a smooth supply chain. Christopher (2005, p. 23) adds that third party logistics mixes the elements of expertise, process efficiency, and technology to create a strong logistics operation Supply Chain process map Figure 1: shows the process map of 3PLs detailing operations from third parties to real results. Supply Chain analysis 3PL providers are able to support supply chain requirements across the product lifecycle of a company to the real results (Bolumole 2003, p. 94; Bermudez 2002, p. 16). The supply chain begins from outsourcing partners at a facility, and passes through the human and logistics level to give real results. Key issues in designing and implementing the practice Major issues in designing and implementing third party logistics include regulations, enterprise extensions, knowledge of logistics markets, and multimodal rates (Murphy & Poist 2000, p. 122; Bernon & Cullen 2007, p. 41). It is important to compile trade terms, international customs documentations before establishing operations. Major benefits, risks/cost of the practice A major risk of the 3PLs is that as the companies become more successful, foreign-based transportation conglomerates make them acquisition targets. A key benefit of 3PLs is that they consider logistics their core competence, a fact that explains their great expertise in producing or selling products (Nemoto 2001, p. 13). Trends in UAE/GCC that are successfully using the practice including best practices The few players who have great power in the logist
The article by Colin-Thome (2013) addresses the UK’s clinical governance through the perspective of the newly reformed National Health Service (NHS) commissioning. The author provides a detailed description of the history of clinical governance that prioritized different aspects of healthcare at different times. As the researcher proceeds to discuss the contemporary issues related to commissioning and clinical governance in the context of the NHS reforming, he identifies inaccuracies, obstructing factors, and other problematic issues. The author of the article sets a well-articulated context for the problem discussed in the publication. Indeed, the understanding of the developmental path of the UK’s NHS allows for a more informed analysis of the currently applied improvements. Overall, clinical governance as a concept is aimed at the improvement of the overall healthcare system by providing the conditions for high-quality patient care through physicians’ professional advancement (Colin-Thome, 2013). While commissioning plays a significant role in the implementation of the core principles of clinical governance, the author reports on multiple drawbacks in the practical side of the process. However, although the article presents multiple accusations of ineffective implementation of clinical governance, it fails to provide recommendations for improvement or any guidance on drawbacks elimination. The researcher mentions more successful European and American systems that function more efficiently, but he does not explicitly explain how that experience might be introduced to the UK context. Overall, the article is an analysis-based review of the observed process of the implementation of clinical governance practices in the UK. It accumulates critically important information on the importance of aligning commissioning practices with the ideas of clinical governance aimed at improved patient care, as outlined in the reform. Most importantly, the author concludes that a self-monitoring culture within the healthcare system should remerge in order to ensure the functionality of commissioning and proper clinical governance. However, the author is very implicit concerning the solution to the problem. Also, the article lacks factual, evidence-based support emphasizing the problems to which the author refers. The article by Spigelman and Rendalls (2015) presents the results of a non-systematic literature review of the publications related to clinical governance in Australia. The authors integrate the findings from various literature sources to enlist all the issues and characteristic features related to the current state of clinical governance in the country. Thus, the article is aimed at generalizing the scope of issues characterizing Australian clinical governance to ensure informed decisions for further development by means of eliminating the difficulties. The authors present a broad overview of the manifestations of clinical governance across different territories and types of care. A particular strength of the conducted research is the inclusion of the interviews with key stakeholders who provide accurate first-hand information on the real problems. G
Introduction This paper delves into the peculiarities of the so-called population problem. The author is convinced that today, it is impossible to ignore this issue as it is becoming relevant to all people, no matter where they live. However, even if individuals accept the necessity of an intervention to alter the situation, they will try to use technological approaches to improve the situation. Thus, the author is sure that it is impossible to solve this problem technologically. Instead, the author maintains that some alternative methods should be found. Population control thus becomes an incredibly complex goal because of the numerous ethical issues that are raised. In this way, the modern world faces a tragedy of the commons. Everyone wants to acquire particular consumer products and wealth; however, this becomes impossible because of the interests of other people and society. The idea discussed in this paper could be applied to modern business practices concerning increased rivalry and more numerous competitors. The Struggle to Govern the Commons, Thomas Dietz, Elinor Ostrum & Paul Stern In this reading, the authors touch upon the problem of resources and the way people’s activities impact them. They are sure that human factors cause significant environmental change and alter the way the world evolves. For this reason, the creation of efficient governance structures is crucial for society’s further development. At the same time, the authors also emphasize the idea that any attempt to govern human activity will face resistance because of the nature of the modern world. Under these conditions, tough decisions and approaches like selective pressure, or voluntary ones could be used to assure the preservation of existing levels of diversity and a reasonable quality of life for individuals. These ideas could be used in the modern business world to organize the operations of a particular company in such a way that it can preserve the existing balance between its various elements and cultivate diversity so that people can enjoy a high quality of life. Kashi Case Study, Tensie Whelan This case study revolves around the Kashi company, which offers consumers a healthy alternative to conventional breakfast goods. The business provides people with high-protein, ready-to-eat cereals that consist only of natural ingredients. Therefore another essential fact related to the company’s operations is its focus on organic products. This means that Kashi cultivates organic farming across the state. This fact is crucial in terms of a significant GMO problem when consumers become dissatisfied with the quality of the products offered. In this context, Kashi has to reorganize its supply chain to ensure that all products are organic and meet cust
The advent of technology in healthcare provided medical workers with numerous benefits that quickly reshaped the process of care provision while bringing several disadvantages to the care environment as well. As one of the elements of telehealth, telepsychiatry represents a complex set of services that are provided to patients with no direct face-to-face contact. It may be suggested that the ability to evade any frontal interactions provides patients with more care options and facilitates medication management and patient education (Shore et al., 2020; Spivak et al., 2020). The purpose of the current project is to validate the benefits of telepsychiatry and pave the way for further updates through the interface of Kotter’s change model and quality improvement initiatives supported by Six Sigma methods. The author of the paper expects to establish a positive experience across the local facility and appeal to a larger number of potential patients who could benefit from telepsychiatry from the comfort of their homes. Background of the Practice Issue The core local practice concern that has to be addressed is an increasingly high level of reluctance among workers that has to be addressed if the team is looking forward to reaping most of the benefits of telehealth. Accordingly, the problem that the author offers to resolve is a larger-scale implementation of telepsychiatry in an attempt to appeal to both local care providers and patients, especially with the (a) increased costs of healthcare services forced by the pandemic and (b) an exceptionally quick spread of technology across most spheres of human lives. The aim of the project is to implement Kotter’s Change Model and Six Sigma to validate the need for transformation and lay the foundation for further quality improvements. According to Reinhardt et al. (2019) and Freeman et al. (2020), some of the workers and patients could remain reluctant to telepsychiatry, so the idea should be to make the experience much more relaxed and focused on comfort and high-quality services. The increasing popularity of various technologies makes it safe to say that no contemporary initiative can become a reality without a digitalized intervention. Despite the lack of interpersonal contact, the author considers telepsychiatry a reasonable means of addressing current issues in mental health care because remote psychiatric sessions give a feeling of privacy and safety to every patient.

Introduction Ethnocentrism exists as a part of each and every group in the society. Only by recognizing ethnocentrism’s constant presence can we maintain our groups and yet hope to offset this bias. Bringing in a society’s worldview means that ethical judgments using information from science are open to the same ethnocentric biases that plague all judgments by human groups. Such biases are independent of the quality of the science, but can lead some to think that science itself has made a spiritual point. The biases can only be examined and debated when it is realized that the ethical judgments using the science are judged by spirituality standards, not scientific standards. A corollary is that scientists debating the ethical use of their discoveries are not necessarily the best people to judge the use of that science; the best people to do so are those who understand the possible spiritual implications of that science. This paper intends to discuss various aspects of ethnocentric bias and its implication in development of social policy. Correcting for ethnocentric bias is a difficult task. Some try to do so by objecting to the group or subculture in which they were raised. If their subculture was for a strong military, then these people are for pacifism. Positive and Negative aspects of Ethnocentric Bias In addition to the personality characteristic of misanthropy, stereotypic judgments and negative attitudes arise from ethnocentrism found in group membership. As noted previously, each group values itself and its members more highly then other groups even if there is no basis for doing so. Other groups are derogated. This ethnocentric bias is found in every group. The only time it is not found is when there are no identifiable groups. The more group membership is salient or easily observed, the more likely it is that the ethnocentric bias will occur. Hence, we theoretically expect everyone who has a strong group identification to show ethnocentric bias. That would result in higher prejudice scores when rating others not identified with their group. Those who are least prejudiced would be those who are unconnected to any group. Prejudice as Negative Attitude Some authors include more than just stereotyping in definitions of prejudice. They define prejudice as any “intolerant, unfair, unfavourable attitude” toward a group and its members. Prejudice is a term that everyone spontaneously knows the meaning of, but the more it is investigated, the more this definition of prejudice becomes problematic. Further elaboration of the definition of prejudice with other terms requires integration with spirituality. A phrase such as “unjustified negative attitudes” raises the question of why it is felt to be unjustified and by whom. Of course, given ou
Introduction Management is the process of operating with individuals and resources to achieve organizational aims with efficiency and competence. The business world is dynamic and is characterized by a number of organizational changes, which calls for managers to be conversant in their work to maintain focus through embracing new approaches regarding planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Planning is identifying the goals to be accomplished while taking prior evaluation of the crucial steps that requires to be handled to accomplish these goals. They entail examining current circumstances, foreseeing the future, shaping objectives, deciding on corporate policies, shaping the resources required to surface the company’s goals, and making the right decisions in what actions the firm needs to undertake. Planning awards strategic value which is described as the financial status attributed to the nature of the workforce in accomplishing the user’s desires. The value becomes strategic when geared at achieving the set goals in an organization (Walker et al, 2009). My organization requires that evaluations be made on the ways of adding value, which not only develops personal potential but also augments performance, hence supplementing career skills. For that reason, planning is required by chief executives to create and implement business policies. It is a continuous process where intelligence is employed through including all stakeholders’ views in cultivating and retaining competitive advantage in the dynamic business world as influenced by politics, globalization, and technological advancements. Organizing is bringing together and coordinating the resources required accomplishing organization goals. This involves ways of drawing stakeholders in the organization, stating job accountability and categorizing it into work units, shepherding and allotting resources and creating a favorable environment for the workforce to attain maximum productivity. Organizing is applied in my organization and aims at attaining a dynamic organization through recognition of business functions, initiating report dealings and forming a personnel department meant to handle the strategies, programs and other formalities. Organizing leads to flexibility and adaptability in the competitive business world through evolving human resource performance. Leading is motivating individuals to become elevated performers through proper communications though personal interactions or as a group. It entails close interactions and teamwork while steering and stimulating people to attain organization goals. Teamwork is a vital component of leadership, which managers cultiv
