Abstract Property ownership is something that has been described by many analysts, philosophers, and scholars for very many centuries. According to the law, the property title is used as the legal evidence showing that a given individual has the right to own a specific asset or estate. This discussion begins by giving a detailed description of different forms of property within non Saudi societies. The paper will also analyze the major forms of property in different societies across the world. The discussion offers meaningful ideas that can guide individuals who want to make desirable investment decisions. Introduction The term “property” is widely used to denote anything that is owned by an individual (Hower, Walter, & Wright, 2017). The property can be in the form of an estate and might be owned by an individual, a community, or a group. This is the reason why the definition of property is unaccountable. Depending on the attributes or nature of the targeted property, the owner is entitled to share, rent, alter, destroy, and consume it (Hinkel, 2016). Although some people might think that the property owned by an individual is nothing but a will, the agreeable fact is that the owner should be supported by proper documentation. People can purchase, inherit, or be rewarded with a given property. Every society has its own unique forms or types of societies. The purpose of the discussion presented below is to illustrate the forms of property within non Saudi Societies. Description of the Topic The law asserts that people can have two forms of estates or property. The first category is known as real property. Hower et al. (2017) indicate that real property is a piece of land and the assets erected or attached to it. For instance, the crops growing a specific piece of land would definitely be referred to as real property. The second category is that of personal property. This bracket includes all intangible or movable assets that cannot be described as real property. The targeted topic focuses on the major forms of property within non Saudi societies. For instance, the global community is characterized by a number of property types that might be embraced in a given community and not another. The concept of real property has emerged in the recent past in different parts of the world. This kind of property includes land and the developments or improvements on it. Personal property refers to the physical assets or possessions owned by a specific person. The private property focuses on business entities or assets owned by individuals or business entities (Hinkel, 2016). A right of ownership (also known as a title) is an indication that an individual can use his or her property in the manner he or she deems right. The topic will focus on the major forms of property embraced or held by people and corporations in different regions other than Saudi Arabia. Some of the major forms of the property include sole ownership, tenant
There is an urgent need for adding value to services because of the high competitiveness in the market. The chain of adding value includes two major components: delivery strategies, which are mainly clinical operations, and support strategies that incorporate organizational structure and culture as well as strategic resources (Healey & Marchese, 2013). The development of value-adding strategies starts with singling out the requirements and the analysis of the quality of services. Next, these requirements and analysis are compared with the aim of identifying which of the strategies should be kept and which ones should be altered (Ginter, Duncan, & Swayne, 2013). Adding value can be implemented at all stages of service delivery: pre-, point-of-, and post-service (Ginter et al., 2013). Pre-Service Value-Adding Strategies Activities performed before the actual service delivery give healthcare companies an opportunity to verify their clients and the services which will be suggested to them. These strategies include performing marketing research, determining the target market, choosing the services to be offered, deciding the prices, planning the logistics, and designing the promotional activities (Ginter et al., 2013). Market research and target marketing are essential elements of pre-service value-adding as they help to plan the organization’s services and customers (Lambin & Schuiling, 2012). Verifying customers allows the healthcare company to select the groups on which it should concentrate. The most common groups pertaining to the healthcare market are patients, doctors, and third-party payers (Ginter et al., 2013). Promotion strategies include advertising and public relations technologies (Ginter et al., 2013). With the help of these methods, healthcare companies can make their potential customers aware of their services and benefits over other organizations. Point-of-Service Value Adding Techniques These are the activities that create value the direct time of service delivery. They include clinical operations and marketing (Ginter et al., 2013). Marketing technology is applied to obtain a better notion of the current market situation. With the help of this strategy, healthcare organizations are able to perceive the staff’s and patients’ satisfaction and predict further steps (Ginter et al., 2013). Clinical operations are the endeavors that transform the human and nonhuman reserves into healthcare services. They presuppose the actual supply of health services to specific patients. Clinical operations comprise two significant elements: quality and clinical process innovation (CPI). Quality is concerned with the endeavors arranged to enhance the quantity and quality of health services such as patient-focused and family-concentrated care (Ginter et al., 2013). CPI includes the activities aimed at suggesting new products, looking for new clients, and providing a higher quality of s
Computer games have firmly entered the life of modern man, taking the place of honorary leader among the many ways to organize recreation for people of all ages. Virtual reality attracts by its limitless possibilities, and every year the computer entertainment industry brings gamers more and more new games that cannot be abandoned. This increasing popularity of the multigenre computer world is reflected in the concerns of the world community about the potential harm to gamers. This research paper focuses on the contrasting analysis of the social benefits that video games can bring to a person’s life. The focus of the research is on a multiplayer online game in the genre of royal battle called Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG). Despite the scenes of bloodshed and the original idea of murder and survival at all costs, PUBG has a positive social meaning. It would be a mistake to think that PUBG has created a revolution in the world of computer games. The game mechanics do not differ in originality: the multiplayer game starts with the fact that all players are thrown out from the plane to an island. Immediately after landing the first phase of the game, which could be described as a collection strategy, begins. The gamer has to have time to find enough right resources, which allows the character to survive as long as possible. With time the playing field narrows, and the stage of survival begins. Players have to kill others to ensure their victory: the winner is the one who will stay alive last. Naturally, PUBG cannot be called a peaceful and quiet game. Here, in front of hundreds of gamers, are murders. A classic and rather superficial argument, which is often operated by the negative publicity, is the perception of murders. Undoubtedly, adult gamers are well aware that this is just a game, but a child’s mind perceives the world differently. Since childhood, the child learns to play: first, rattles and then takes a virtual gun and shoots their first victim. The child understands that such actions remain unpunished, resulting in a virtual picture of the world in reality. However, it is worth noting that such a view is far from the present. Studies conducted by Pan et al. demonstrate a minimal correlation between video games and the manifestation of rigidity (1). When a gamer picks up a virtual weapon, it does not equal the real act of violence. The game designer Jane McGonigal spoke out beautifully in her public speech about the benefits of video games for the future. She is convinced that the computer world of video games allows gamers to experience emotions and impressions that are difficult to get from the real world (“Gaming Can Make a Better World”). This position can be supported by an argument about the fantastic world players in space travel, the M
Introduction Mention the word bourgeois and thousands of heads will turn with scorn and disdain as if this is an evil name. People have developed a misconstrued perception of wealth to warrant discriminating against rich people. There have been continued efforts to unify the world by developing strategies aimed at promoting social and economic equality. However, these efforts bear no fruits since divisions are created as hatred between the rich and poor intensifies (McCloskey 23). There is no doubt that people must appreciate the advantages of capitalism in advancing the society. This essay is a response to Rodrigo Mantica’s paper ‘Reviewing the Bourgeois Virtues’. There is no doubt that wealth is one of the coveted aspects of human life. People will use all means possible to acquire and keep wealth. However, before discussing wealth it is necessary to mention that all human activities are motivated by the desire to seek happiness. He presents the path to happiness as filled with various social and economic factors. These factors may be moral or immoral depending on an individual’s perceptions of their appropriateness since wealth in itself is not an end but a means to happiness (Smith 11). Richness is not a crime as depicted by many people provided the path followed is right. According to Mantica, business activities offer individuals equal opportunities to explore their talents and skills; therefore, people with extra ordinary skills stand high chances of ruling markets (McCloskey 32). Monopoly is one of the ways of demonstrating individuals’ use of their skills. When people work hard to acquire wealth they seek to make themselves happy by having everything at their disposal. In addition, Mantica proposes that reason should be a moral driving force in acquiring wealth. According to him, McCloskey is right in advocating for solidarity in advancing people’s collective desires. Therefore, reason becomes an inevitable aspect in acquiring wealth. People should strive to acquire wealth and justify their means using moral aspects like prudence and trust. Even though, prudence in itself has weak moral connotations it is vital to consider weighty sides of prudence that guide human activities (McCloskey 56). People interpret self interest as an evil way of acquiring wealth. However, Mantica confirms that self interest brings people of similar interest together and thus becomes an effective tool of advancing their dreams. When people with similar self interests come together, they form formidable forces that will promote their interests. Solidarity enables them identify strategies that will promote these interests. Within these groups, there must be competitions to ensure the best person outruns others. The article identifies the significance of economic and social differences in society. The differences in knowledge, interests, skills and efforts determine how effective individuals use their resources (Smith 21). This explains the differences in wealth of people earning equal salaries and living in same societies. Some people will remain poor due to their experiences, efforts and interests in wealth. Therefore, the bourgeois have
Introduction The main or major purpose of this research is to help students determine various concepts relating to organizational behavior in the leadership field. In addition, it will help them develop and extend their ability to critically apply the concepts gained so far in real-life situations, especially when they work in different work places. It is equally necessary for students and various scholars to learn such skills of leadership because commonly, they are faced with new challenges, especially in work places. Having learned these skills, they can professionally tackle different situations which leaders face each and every day. Such situations include meeting customers and clients, workmates and most importantly, their seniors in an organization at personal levels. In the end, this will result in improved performance in the organization. In my adventure from college, I happened to visit Brookside Dairy Limited Company in Nairobi city in Kenya. The company’s main goal is to raise the living standards of the population sector and also improve the lives of most of the small scale farmers in the region. The history of dairy industry in Kenya began in the year 1992. It was then when the first dairy cows were brought by European settlers. The first creamery had been founded in Naivasha which later opened several other branches in different parts of the country. The Brookside firm in Nairobi happens to be one of the branches that were founded at that time. I managed to meet Elisha Chumo, one of the managers in the industry together with the Daily Field Extension team.
Introduction Super Group Plc is a UK based retailing firm constituting of three brands; Superdry, 77 Breed and Surf Co California. The Super Group apparel takes its inspiration from the Japanese culture of designs and vintage American for its styling and thus provides a very unique manufacture that is targeted to wide demographics. The company further provides shoes, accessories and bags. The brand was formed in 1985 in London by Julian Dunkerton and started operations as a cult store in Cheltenham (The Telegraph 2011). It gained popularity with the celebrity endorsement by David Beckham and since then has expanded its operations in terms of standalone stores, cult and concessions, UK wholesale and e-commerce. It has expanded internationally through franchising and license in 40 countries including Japan, Belgium, France, USA and Australia and in 85 stores through its online operations. It has a total of 39 outlets in the UK and Ireland and has 60 concessions and standalone stores in the House of Fraser throughout the country. It is also listed in the London Stock Exchange (Superdry Group Plc 2011). Evaluation of Country Information The two countries chosen for an evaluation based on further expansion of Super Dry are India and China as both of these countries are emerging in terms of economics and the textile industry is significant contributor to the GDP in both the countries (Emme 2006). In case of India, the textile industry is the major sector of the economy; it accounts for 14% of the total industrial production and contributes 20% to the total exports and 5% to the GDP. It is also one of the largest employers of the economy, employing 38 million people in the country hence there is great potential in the Indian industry for further growth and development as it is one of the emerging economies (Balasubramanyam 2005). Although the Indian industry is plagued with bureaucracy and obsolete infrastructure in many cases and the investment is still limited to meet a global retail demand. However, the textile industry has evolved over time to become one of the most efficient industries in the world today, offering shorter production cycles, greater flexibility, greater value addition and a greater customization (Balasubramanyam 2005). The sourcing agents and the retailers have a greater propensity and willingness to invest. The country is inclined towards more efficient use of information technology and business proc

Introduction Petroleum products provide for the vast majority of man’s energy needs. These products are used to power industries, transportation, and to provide heat. Petroleum products are obtained from fossil fuels which have to be refined to be converted into products that can be put into various uses. One of the processes carried out during refining is hydrotreating. Speight and Ozum assert that the use of hydrogen in thermal processes is the single most significant advance in petroleum refining technology during the 20th century (472). This paper will provide a brief but informative description of the hydrotreatment process. The paper will begin by defining this process and highlighting the objectives of the hydrotreatment process. Definition of Hydrotreatment Hydrotreatment refers to a series of hydrogenation reactions subjected to crude petroleum and other refinery streams to remove impurities or saturate a variety of unsaturated hydrocarbons contained in the crude petroleum. Maples asserts that the hydrotreatment process is essential for all refining plants that convert various fossil fuels into transportation fuels (472). Hydrotreating is becoming more necessary as the supply of light crude oils becomes scarce. Heavy sour crudes are becoming more prevalent and these products contain many undesirable components including nitrogen, iron, and iron compounds. Through hydrotreating, the petroleum residents, which are the residual portion of the initial atmospheric crude oil distillation, can be converted into viable diesel and other lighter fuels (Speight and Ozum 470). Objectives of the process Hydrotreating is carried out to achieve several important objectives. The first major objective of hydrotreatment is to remove impurities from petroleum products. These impurities, which include sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen, reduce the efficiency of the final products from the refining process. Lawrie states that hydrotreatment results in the conversion of organic sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen compounds to hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, or water (223). Through hydrotreatment, the impurities are removed for the control of a final product specification. The process also aims to change the composition of some renewab
