Virgin Atlantics celebrated its 10 th year during June 1994 in the remarkable history and a glorious disposition of an airline company that became Britain’s second largest haul airline in just ten years boasting of highest quality, innovative ideas and all at affordable prices. Richard Branson had always been the witty sort and his sensibility proved with the success of Virgin Airlines. Branson had always been fond of celebrities and the first company Branson worked for had excessive sales that year and soon after that he started with his own entrepreneurial venture of a magazine. During 1970, Branson founded the mail order record business called Virgin and soon after that he had his own recording studio, label, night club and also stakes in the London stock exchange. The company went public but that did not suit the sensibilities of Branson so he shed the burden off in order to continue with his entrepreneurial ventures. In 1994, Virgin Group had Virgin retail group, Virgin Communication and Virgin Investments which controlled over 100 entities in 12 countries. When Richard Branson noticed the downfall Laker Air that is when Branson got the idea of hiring executives from Laker namely, Roy Gardner, David Tait and Virgin Atlantic was created. Branson did not want a simple upper class airline since he wanted unique service offerings but at affordable prices. Virgin was quick in response to customer complaints and also to make use of opportunities. The marketing strategies used by the company have always been straight forward, witty and unique enough to attract all customers from competitors especially British Airways. The Early Years of Virgin (1984-89) were challenging but chaotic yet having a disposition of Richard Branson the time was challenging and fun in its own way. During 1989 the airline celebrated its “one millionth customer” and the customers on board were surprised with special offerings like a beautician or tailor on board. Branson befriended all rock stars and the company got into setting unique records such as the speedboat set the fastest time to have ever crosses the Atlantic with Branson on board. Virgin Atlantic also had a hot air balloon that flew across Atlantic and soon one of the balloons broke all records. During 1989-94 Richard Branson realized that the management of the company needed to be professionalized. The company was formerly a flat structure with 27 people reporting directly to Branson since now it was important to convert the company into a more customer driven organization. Branson met with a Marks and Spencer retailer Syd Pennington soon after that Pennington was made joint managing director of the company. Roy Gardner enjoyed the same position as well and Nigel Primrose was Finance Director so now only three people were reporting directly to Branson. Richard then focused on expanding the fleet to 18 planes with Boeings (747’s) and ai
Political discourses entail following cultural and unwritten behaviors, which in most cases are driven by organizational and personal agendas, aimed at attaining particular objectives. The need to practice politics effectively has led to the emergence of political science, which covers the study of governments, political systems and process, and political policies. On the other hand, science refers to a methodical approach that is used in understanding the natural world (McLelland 1). Science is one of the most fundamental disciplines that can be relied upon in an effort to transform the society through effective decision-making. This observation arises from the fact that, science leads to the formulation of scientific theories, which are comprehensive and well-integrated set of facts. The objective of this paper is to analyze if there are any dangers to this effect. The credibility of scientific ‘facts’ arises from the construct that, the facts are repeatedly tested and accepted, thus increasing their effectiveness in making predictions on certain natural phenomena. McLelland posits, “Science is a human endeavor, which subjects it to bias, misapprehensions, and personal prejudices” (4). This argument is in line with the assumption that humans can accurately observe and measure a given phenomenon in an effort to understand the universe. However, the conclusions arrived at by humans is limited by how effective they can make sense out of the observations made. Through science, individuals can verify and reproduce the observations made. Additionally, science provides an opportunity to overcome possible weakness that might arise through experimental results (McLelland 1). Over the recent past, there has been growing attempts by politicians in the U.S. to define science. This attempt is well illustrated by the recent legislation that was passed in Tennessee by the House and Senate. The legislation gives teachers an opportunity to present weaknesses and strengths associated with existing scientific theories such as climate change and evolution (Strauss Para. 1). Critical thinking is one of the ways through which new knowledge can be derived. In an effort to explain the natural phenomenon, science should provide room for positive criticism. This aspect is well illustrated by the assumptions that scientific explanations tend to be limited and hence are subject to modification. Political discourses provide individuals with an opportunity to make their opinions regarding certain known issues. Through p
It is said that making errors is not wrong but repeating errors should be avoided. In our daily activities, we make errors in our homes and workplaces. Some errors made in workplaces may result in confusion or even serious problems (FDA, 2011). However, the most important thing is the management of the errors made. The pharmacy student was supposed to confirm that the name on the prescription was the right one before handing it over to the professor. If I were the pharmacy student who made the error, the first thing I would have done was to acknowledge that an error was made. It is important to acknowledge that errors have occurred instead of denying them. After admitting that an error was committed, I would have remained composed instead of feeling embarrassed because such cases happen (Jenkins, 2007). The next important thing I would have done was to explain to the professor that in the pharmacy, we usually served a large number of people. As a result, sometimes it was difficult to recognize all the people that we served. I would also have explained to the professor that the error made was not in any way intentional and that it would not be repeated in the future. In addition, I would have informed the professor that dealing with several members of the university might have caused the error. Finally, I would have apologized to the professor for any inconvenience caused. It is very important to prevent the error made from being repeated in the future. Most customers are satisfied when they are given good explanations for errors made. However, if the errors occur repeatedly, they may cause disappointment to the customers. The first way of preventing future occurrence of the error is to avoid calling customers names if the attendant is not sure of their names. This will ensure that the attendants do not give customers the wrong prescriptions. The second way of preventing the error from occurring in the future is by asking cu
The selected sub-system is the laser accelerometer for defining a lathe cutter position. This is required for the automated guidance of a lathe, and better calibration and precision of the cutter and chuck positions. (Penrose, 2005) The mentioned accelerometer will be intended for the following actions:   * Defining the position of the cutter and chuck, and further adjustment of their positions in accordance with the given parameters   * Simplify the process of calibrating the lathe regulators   * Improved turner’s safety. If the position of the cutter changes, and that is not stated in the program, the signal from the accelerometer will be interpreted as the signal for urgent lathe stop.   * Decrease the percentage of spoilage General The key purpose of the accelerator is to control the position of the lathe cutter and chuck and define the proper cutting angle, considering the optical tilt angle. Assembly The general algorithm of the assembly is as follows: The optical part is mounted on the cutter, and chuck is set to the initial position. This is needed for more accurate and precise calibration. The following step is an assembly of the wired connections and assembly of the fixative bails. The control wires are joint to the position control scheme, and power wires are connected to the electric scheme of the lathe. The location of the wires and fixative bails should not prevent the free movement of the cutters, and should be considered by qualified engineering personnel. Function and Performance The accelerometers were installed to define the initial position of the chuck and cutter, and then perform the calibration. This may be performed in manual or automatic regimes. The test program will define the accuracy of the calibration and will be able to perform the necessary tests for defining the motion smoothness of the cutter, as well as the positioning accuracy. If some errors are logged, the program will test the calibration process and may ask to repeat the calibration. Parameters Adjustment There are four key parameters that are regulated:   * Sensitivity. This is regulated in accordance with the necessary precision level. Higher sensitivity decreased the speed of a cutter, as the program will have to perform more tests.   * Zero shift. This parameter is used for calibration, and calibration check.   * Random walk. Deflection of the indicator from the zero shift. This is regulated automatically   * Nonlinearity. Depending on the cutting requirements, this parameter defines the position of the cutter and chuck depending on the initial position of the detail or a perform. Interface The interface of the regulating software is offered for several platforms, and includes all the necessary parameters for installation, calibration, and work. Parameters may be adjusted in metrical and US system
Doctoral education and research studies are purposely intended to add some value to the amassed body of knowledge. Despite the various definitions of a theory, developing a particular theory starts from having speculations and ends up with grounded models and explanations. Thus, to develop a theory in doctoral research an individual must focus on advancing an existing theory and not just starting from scratch (Wright, 2008). Since doctoral students have applied researchers they must focus on using and applying theories that identify correlations, concepts, constructs, and variables that will probably generate practically important results. Therefore, when making final analysis in doctoral education and research the roles of the chosen theory will include:   * Acting as a medium used to incorporate prior knowledge and research studies   * Offering conceptual frameworks for doctoral research studies   * Linking doctoral education and researches to the existing body of literature specifically in the selected area that the researcher intends to conduct the research Using theory to make informed research decisions and thoughts While conducting educational research studies the decisions made and how the researcher thinks must be informed by theory. The quality of a research study is perceived to ensue from the type of theories that the researcher used to draw their findings from. For instance, in any educational research study the researcher is expected to properly frame the research questions, make informed analysis and promote reflexivity on the relevance and significance of the research study. However, all these cannot be done without drawing on a particular theory to make informed decisions and what the researcher thinks. This implies that the selected theory can help the researcher to generate research questions and agendas (Wright, 2008). Asking the political, communicative, experiential and epistemological research questions is only possible when a researcher makes informed decisions and thoughts based on theory (Brookfield, 1995). The appraisals of various research studies revolve around the purpose and quality of the conducted research. The motivating factor surrounding education research assessment discussion is the theory used by the researcher to make informed opinions. The usefulness of any given research is founded on the value and robustness of the theoretical framework used by the researcher to make final research judgments, conclusions and recommendations. Further, educational research discussions are usually deliberations on theories where ontological and epistemological positions are occasionally not made and sometimes made explicit (Brookfield, 1995). Thus, to address the four questions concerning the materials being read by the researcher before embarking on the actual research process it is important for the researcher to use theory to make informed research decisions and thoughts. This is because research st
In this case Grace contracted Jane an accomplished piano tutor to take her through ten piano lessons for which she was to pay $500 for each. The exams to be taken after the lessons; were scheduled for the last week of the month of October. After taking five lessons, Grace informed Jane the Piano tutor that she was not able to continue with the remaining five lessons; as she would not be able to pay for them due to the costs she had to cover towards her mother’s cancer illness that had significantly increased (McDonald & Street, 2009). Jane on considering that Grace was one of her promising students; felt sorry for her and offered an agreement to collect a nominal sum of $150 per lesson for the remaining five. Grace was grateful for the offer and accepted it continuing the piano lessons. After the completion of the lessons and sitting the exam; Jane demanded that Grace should pay the $1750 balance for the last five lessons (Poole, 2006). To start with the validity of the contract should be analyzed; and in this case, the two contracting parties had agreed mutually to reduce the amount to a nominal amount of $150. This is because Grace agreed to continue the classes based on the offer and agreement with Jane that she would receive the lessons at $150 for each (Poole, 2010). The contract involves the principle of an enforceable contract; where one of the contracting parties advances an offer and the second accepts it. In this case, Jane offers to administer the lessons at $150 and Grace accepts to receive the same amount offered. This means that the contract is enforceable in favor of Grace but not Jane (Fafinski & Finch, 2009). The mutual consideration of exchanging something of value is met in this contract; as Grace receives the lessons that are of value as Jane is paid money which is also of exchangeable value. According to the principles of contracting; despite the fact that the lessons are worth $500 Jane cannot claim this value as she offered them for the agreed price of $150; by doing so she would be revoking the contract (McDonald & Street, 2009). In this case the consideration of performance and deliv
What is the Real Madrid business model? Is it unique? The football club of Real Madrid is an organization that utilizes the business model according to which it is possible to use its name as a brand and to employ the plans for sponsorship and product sales to attain additional financial resourced during football events (Callejo & Forcadell, 2006). It should also be pointed out that the club commercialized and sold the tights for TV and audio-visual broadcasting rights to various organizations, which also permitted for achieving additional income (Callejo & Forcadell, 2006). This strategy has been successfully utilized by the Real Madrid Club on an international level. It is stated that the business model which Real Madrid used was not unique, but instead had been previously employed by some other sports clubs, for instance, by Manchester United in the United Kingdom, which had pioneered the process of commercialization of sports brands, and that the utilization of this strategy had proven highly successful for that club in the 1990s, allowing for obtaining additional income for the matches in which the sports team of the club participated (Callejo & Forcadell, 2006). In the 21 st century, however, Real Madrid gained increased fame and popularity, at the same time becoming the leading world of the commercial use of its name as a brand. It has been noted that their commercial success in using its brand led to several critical remarks, according to which the name of the club had been used as a brand too much; the club’s director of communications, as noted in the case study, even observed that the brand of the club had been stretched too far. Nevertheless, the commercialization of the club’s brand permitted for attaining substantial additional income, which was instrumental in assisting the club to develop further. Who are Real Madrid’s customers? How is the market segmented? When considering the question about which groups played the role of clients of the Real Madrid Football Club, it is important to observe that there existed multiple groups the representatives of which purchased something from the club. First and foremost, th
The term beauty has diverse definitions depending on an individual’s viewpoint. Female members of society find the art of social beauty useful in establishing a family. The film Dying to be Thin presents a relevant scenario in which female ballerinas take extreme health precautions to maintain a fit body shape (McPhee, 2004). Professional healthcare experts, however, reveal underlying medical conditions the athletes face. The medical team was working alongside the ballerinas to maintain fitness, then identified anorexia and bulimia nervosa as common eating disorders affecting the athletes. Anorexia nervosa is a health condition associated with eating patterns to assure a certain body weight. This film is objective in highlighting both mental and physical efforts for maintaining the fitness of the body. Bulimia nervosa is also highlighted in the film as a common disorder among the majority of people (McPhee, 2004). This condition is attributed to unregulated eating patterns among individuals with normal body weight according to medical standards. Most importantly, normal health is enhanced by eating practices which value nutrition in food diets instead of quantity. I find the documentary informative in explaining the extreme conditions associated with eating disorders. Many people in modern societies have adopted an interesting pattern of eating aimed at maintaining a certain body weight. However, these individuals expose their health to serious medical conditions, as identified in the film. It is important to note starvation is a common social practice attributed to poor eating behaviors. Depriving oneself of a healthy diet can result in both short and long-term illnesses (McPhee, 2004). As a result, maintaining a given body weight should be guided by nutritional experts for accurate positive outcomes. Moreover, the film has been objective in highlighting the influence of popular personalities in determining social behavior (McPhee, 2004). Social media, for instance, celebrities influence their followers to improve sales using strategic communication practices aimed at determining consumer preferences. The documentary notes that positive social impact is critical in enhancing awareness of eating disorders (McPhee, 2004). Vital medical concepts can be relayed to promote healthy eating patterns, through social media pla
Introduction Criminal justice ethics involves all the codes as well as standards that apply to all the concerned parties in the criminal justice system for example attorneys, prosecutors, and the other entire professionals in the criminal system. Ethics concerns the moral judgment of what is right or what is wrong. The rightness or wrongness of an action depends on the qualities that are attached to the actions. This paper shall look at the ethical issues in the criminal justice system. Ethics helps us to make choices when we are in a dilemma. The moral rules guide us in everyday life (Singer, 1995:175). In the criminal justice system ethics is relevant in management as well as policy decisions that are relevant in making decisions about what type of punishment to give, rehabilitate or even acquit a suspect. In the criminal justice system, there are ethical issues for instance is it right to deny treatment to an offender who is serving a sentence. The professionals in the criminal justice system must know the ethical issues to carry out their duties well. Ethics helps the professionals not to abuse the power which they exercise over others. Normative ethics issues Normative ethics is very important in making decisions in the justice system. These ethical issues state that a person’s conduct must consider the moral issues; this means that a person should conduct him or herself morally by using their reasoning to decide the improper way to conduct themselves. Nevertheless, the moral standards vary from one society to another. Therefore making moral decisions depends on a particular situation because the standards cannot be applied across the different societies. Therefore professionals in the criminal justice system need to make decisions by considering the culture from which a person on trial comes because what is wrong in one society may be right in another (Banks, 2004:7). There are ethical issues in criminal justice that are concerned with how power should be exercised, dealing with conflicts that arise in the profession as well as the ethical issues in a particular part of the justice system. There is the ethical issue of the problem in exercising authority. Authority should be used to advance personal values. Authority should not be used for wrongdoing. The other ethical issue is the conflict between professional and personal issues. For example, when a police officer finds one of their friends on the wrong should they do the right thing and take them to a court or should they be loyal to them. The professionals should not use their titles to promote personal interests for example gain financial favors. Some of the professionals in the justice system may be tempted to use their work time or even materials to enrich themselves (Siegel, 2009). On the other hand, the professional may use thei
