Introduction Employee motivation is by far the hardest task. The realization of this fact compels every manager to look for ways and means of motivating the workforce. This is because efforts and individual motivations play an important role in the success of an organization (Adeniyi 201). At grapevine, each level has key personnel in it. These include, the General manager in the top management level, Chef who is the supervisor in the kitchen department, and a supervisor who oversees the frontline affairs and is in charge of the waiters, hostess, and the table cleaners. Characteristics for each position – Figure A. : The Organizational structure For the top management, a person willing to fill the position of the General manager must have a college degree preferable in the field of food processing. He/she must also possess a managerial course certification. He must also be intrinsically motivated since he will be required to be the vision bearer of the organization. The general manager must also possess personal skills such as conflict resolution ability and optimistic attitude. The Chef must have strong leadership skills, open to criticism, and have attention to detail. The chef is expected to be the leader in the backline operations and also act as an advisor to the manager and so he also needs to have prior experience as a chef. The waiter, and the hostess must be friendly, fast and accurate, responsible have knowledge of the restaurants products, and be able to work under pressure. Recruitment – Figure B. : Recruitment sources While looking to recruit for positions, there are several places where advertisement will be posted. These include the newspaper, in the internet specifically at Craig-list and career builder, and campus flyers where noticed will be posted. Motivation of the recruited staff Motivation has been a major challenge in any organization. There are several attestations from the different school of thoughts that indicate the reasons as to why people behave the way they do. They therefore, provide an insight on what ought to be done in order to influence the behavior of the employees and thus, have an effect on their motivation. One best way of motivating the employees is through financial rewards (Lusser 78). As such, the compensation scheme of the restaurant will be equitable. There will also be monetary rewards on bonus schemes for the periods where the restaurant’s sales exceed the targets. In so doing the employees will be compelled to give out the best in their productivity so that in the end, higher profits will be realized. The general manager will be required to have a personal stake in the business. This will bridge the agency-principal conflict that arises between the shareholders and the management. It will also help the general manager to carry out his duties and run the restaurant as if it were his. This is a strong motivational point to the top management since it will inspire the general manager to work extra hard. T
Introduction This treatise offers a comprehensive critique of the lesson taught by Bill, the teacher, in an elementary classroom. The lesson is about speaking and pronunciation of English words by learners who are learning to speak in English. Bill makes good use of the dialogue frame as the primary tool for practising speaking and pronunciation in the multicultural class environment. Bill also uses the white board in an interactive lesson delivery approach to the young adult learners. The lesson in taught in English language through the use of productive and receptive skills via the ESA model of lesson delivery. Bill’s lesson was perfect since it was angled on complete learner engagement in an interactive process that accommodates the learning needs of each student. At the end of the lesson, the learners showed competency in speaking and pronouncing the English words taught in the most appropriate manner. Theory The entire framework of Bill’s lesson in based on the inductive approach. Bill begins the interesting lesson through displaying series of facial expressions that depicts different moods after which the learners are expected to speak before he offers the correct pronunciation and explanation. This approach works perfectly in the elementary class as all the learners are engaged and seems very interested in what Bill has to say next. This approach may also be referred to as the Practice, Production, and Presentation Model as the focus of the lesson is on the ability to properly pronounce and speak some English words with the right tone (Harmer, 2007). Explicit Talk about Language The lesson delivered by Bill was created to test pronunciation and reading skills among the learners of English as a secondary language. The lesson was delivered in a progressive manner within the Practice, Production, and Presentation model. The learners seemed to enjoy the topic and were fully engaged from the beginning to the end since Bill’s style of lesson delivery was characterised by humour and use of very practical examples. The pronunciation was made very simple through application of tonal variation to create different meaning for words in a sentence. Bill used the example of describing an experience in the cinema hall thr
Britain’s exit from the European Union has become one of the most influential events in modern history. It causes various reactions and announces significant changes in international politics. Judging by external signs, the government planned a referendum on Britain’s exit from the EU for a long time, and it focused on a specific result – on the withdrawal from the European Union. The abandonment of one of the parties from the EU may affect political movements at the global level. Constructivism, Realism, and Neoliberalism To understand the phenomenon of Brexit and its impact on worldwide politics, researchers consider Britain’s exit from the European Union by implementing the use of several theories of international relations. However, methods of international relations may be applicable in various aspects. For example, different approaches may determine the impact of a phenomenon on global politics, or assess the influence of Brexit in the long run. Brexit in Terms of Constructivism The theory of constructivism usually criticizes realism and liberalism, since it believes that the most valuable thing for the country is not the market or national security, but the correct definition of the role in the political arena. Firstly, constructivists claim that the meaning that they attribute to the objects of interest determines the performance of states. These objects can be rated by the state as friendly, hostile, or neutral. Secondly, these politicians are sure that the international system operates based on rules and institutions that were jointly designed by the actors themselves. From constructivism, it is essential to determine the identity of the state. Oliver (2017) claims that “for constructivists, any understanding of Brexit will require an explanation of how the UK and the remaining EU’s construct their identities and how these play out vis-à-vis each other” (para. 7). According to the constructivists, Britain, after leaving the European Union, will have to determine its new political role. The country can base its new policy on the phenomenon of parliamentary sovereignty, which exists in the UK historically. Moreover, the European Union will also have to self-identify its political role in the global arena; for example, the union can continue to encourage the establishment of open borders and mutual assistance of states. Brexit in Terms of Realism Realists believe that the significance and influence of the state are determined by the availability of the necessary financial or material resources, and the central participants in international relations are sovereign states with the amount of power required. At the same time, states are rationally acting entities representing a local union of citizens and adhering to the only official international course. In political realism, state rationality is higher than ethics, and political realists are not confused by the inconsistency of
According to Bolter and Grison, the major concern involved in remediation is that of immediacy. This is the requirement of removal for the means of the seeing experience. This means should go away and leave people in midst of the object represented. That is sitting in the race vehicle or stand on the highest part of the mountain. The propinquity relies on hypermediacy. Hypermediacy is the image mode that privileges breakup, heterogeneity and asserts the procedure rather than the completed art object. Initially, visual artworks employed linear context and naturalistic lighting impacts to establish the logic of propinquity. This is what the multimedia artists in the twenty-first century have worked for. The sense of hypermediacy is now clear in the websites and the desktop interface. These are also viewed in light-up documents, medieval cathedrals and in the works of the Dutch painters. Modern multimedia text
Introduction Organizational management requires rational decision-making processes. Particularly, this is more evident within the present competitive business environment. There are several methodologies applicable in the analysis of business decisions. Indicatively, the decisions play significant roles in the development of an organization (Hodgkinson & Starbuck 2008, p. 56). They also influence the welfare of all stakeholders. The stakeholders might include the customers and internal employees. The management has the responsibility of making rational decisions. Presently, there is an increase in the participatory models. The highly liberalized society contributes to these notable transformations. There are organizational decisions that may relate to customers and employees. Alternatively, these decisions might appertain to the processes of organizational resource management. These decisions form critical domains in strategic management processes (Shapira 2002, p. 23). This report focuses on the analysis of the consequences of key organizational decisions. In achieving this objective, the report examines three important perspectives. These are applicable in decision-making processes. These include the modern, symbolic-interpretive and the postmodern perspectives. There is an eminent organizational decision relating to the expansion of major business operations. Modernist Analysis There are critical decisions involved in the expansion of organizational processes. An application of modernist principle in the analysis of these decisions is appropriate. Foremost, it is vital to examine the meaning of the modernist principle for decision-making. Notably, the modernist principle embeds in the concept of enlightenment. According to this theoretical argument, progress roots from principle empirical knowledge (Monahan 2000, p. 23). Apart from this, an approach of rationality process remains appropriate. There are notable subdivisions of the general modernist principle. There is a general systems model. This model postulates that the explanations on empirical or social occurrence may base on systems. Particularly, this relates to the systems governed through regulations and frameworks. Apart from this, there is a socio-technical systems model. Principally, this model applies to the human behavior. Contingency theory is the last explanative model in the modernist concept. Evidently, many managers apply this concept during crisis management situations. The concept stipulates that there is no any best methodology to organize (Bubnicki 2003, p. 34). However, according to this concept, the most applicable methodology depends on the particular circumstance. The decisions made within organizations are critical. This is because these decisions might affect the cultural, political and technological elements. There might be other significant implications within different fields. An application of the modernist principle in the analysis of these implications is vital. A firm’s dec
This paper is aimed at examining the main elements involved in the artistic process. In particular, it is necessary to focus on the work of fashion designers. The main difficulty is that there is no universal pattern that can accurately describe their activities. This is one of the main peculiarities that can be identified. On the whole, one can examine the artistic process by looking at the work of Coco Chanel. This fashion artist made a very revealing statement about her work. In particular, she said, “I set fashions precisely because I went out, because I was the first woman to live fully the life of her times” (Chanel as cited in Crane 65). This quote is relevant to this essay because it indicates that the experience of clients and their needs guide the work of a fashion artists. Overall, it is possible to distinguish several stages of the artistic process: 1) introduction of a new concept or modification of previous ones; 2) evaluation of various alternatives that help a designer to implement his/her ideas; 3) experimentation, and 4) the selection of particular products that can be offered to the public. In the course of his/her work, a fashion designer relies on the method of trial and error or repeated attempts through which a person identifies possible limitations and improves the final product. These are the main issues can be singled out. At first, one should focus on the creation of a new concept. At this stage, a fashion designer can adopt several strategies. In particular, he/she can introduce a modification of already-existing articles of clothing. In some case, this modification can be very successful because a fashion artist can make these products more attractive or comfortable. For instance, it is possible to change existing cardinal suits, sweaters, and so forth. In contrast, a fashion artist may put forward a dramatically new model. Coco Chanel preferred to create new styles that could better correspond to the lives of women (Crane 65). In some cases, fashion artists prefer to study the previous works of other designers. In this way, they derive inspirations for their work. This is another approach that should not be overlooked. Furthermore, while looking at the creation of new ar
Introduction Cleopatra is certainly one of the successful and respected queens in the history of ancient Egypt since she brought huge influence on the society, governance, politics, and even on women. Her romantic stories and death are always celebrated throughout Egypt and she governed Egypt and created it relatively influential during her regime. Cleopatra was a third born daughter, born in Alexandria in 69 B.C and her father was Ptolemy XII. Ptolemy XIII, her younger brother, got engaged in the kingdom governance with Cleopatra. Her life history is among the greatest stories in history, not only due to her exceptional romance, but since she was greatly in love of Egypt (Grochowski, 2005). While in power, Cleopatra influenced most women through her education, love, governance, and invasions. Her role in the society is felt in the modern society of Egypt and her encouragements and achievements serve as an inspiration to all women. Biography Cleopatra is recognized by most historians as the last Pharaoh of Egypt and started her journey to the throne after her elder sisters and father died. Her father was much hated all over Egypt and he went to Rome for exile many years before his death. Throughout the two centuries after the death of Cleopatra’s father, Ptolemy XII, the Ptolemies were in cooperation with Romans, but the powers of Ptolemies were declining and the Roman Empire was growing since they were attempting to overpower Ptolemies. There was a need to regain their strength and Cleopatra took power in 51 B.C when she was only 17 years old. She understood the religion which existed in Egypt and she was very bright. She was an insightful politician with an exceptional charisma, but was not good-looking and possessed mannish qualities (Bianchi, 2011). Ptolemy XII, the father of Cleopatra, died in 51 B.C and he left the will that he allowed Cleopatra and Ptolemy XIII, her younger brother, to rule the kingdom and Cleopatra was directed to wed her brother and deputy ruler because of the Egyptians’ traditions and customs. These customs directed that all female leaders should have a partner who may be either son or brother and her younger brother was just 12 years of age during that transition. Cleopatra excluded the name of her brother from all managerial records and created her personal name and portrait included in all legal tender, discarding Ptolemy XIII’s existing powers. Cleopatra governed alone for almost three years, but the guiders of Ptolemy XIII cheered by Pothinus started working against Cleopatra. In 48 B.C, they overpowered Cleopatra and took over power and she ran for refuge in Syria together with her other sister, Arsinone IV (Bianchi, 2011). However, she did not surrender her throne effortlessly and she started building an army on the border of Egypt to be equipped to attack and overrule her brother. Cleopatra formulated a strategy to meet Julius Caesar on her personal conditions looking for a political coalition and a way of going back to the throne. She planned to b
Introduction Turkey or Türkiye is a sovereign parliamentary republic that is located in Eurasia. Its largest portion is in the Western Asia while the smaller segment is in Southeast Europe. Iran, Greece, Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, Syria, Iraq, and Azerbaijani Exclave border the nation. Hence, Turkey must establish strong multilateral relations with these nations and other proximate states to guarantee sustainable economic prosperity that is established on multilateral cooperation. One of such nations is the UAE. Indeed, Turkey has had strong history of cooperation with the UAE, dating back to 1980s when the UAE opened its embassy in Ankara. The two nations share strong political, economic, cultural, and military ties. Turkey constitutes one of the leading partners of the UAE with an approximate of $9 billion trade volume per year (“Turkey Financial News” par.2). Turkey and the UAE cannot afford to abandon their historic good diplomatic relationships due to their tensions because of Turkey’s undisputed support for the Muslim Brotherhood, the organization that seeks dogmatically to establish its caliphate state, ignoring the security priority of the region, which the UAE is unwilling to bargain. This paper claims that Turkey’s rapprochement with GCC countries, including the UAE, may lead to the abandonment of Turkey to Muslim Brotherhood. This claim is backed up by the recent visit of Turkey’s FM Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu to Abu Dhabi on 25th of April, including how the UAE returned its ambassador to Turkey on 7th of May following three years of cold relations. Accordingly, it is in Turkey’s interest to reconsider its position concerning the issue of Musli
Introduction to BNP Paribas group The BNP Paribas had been established in 1999. This was after the merging of Paribas and BNP in which later on, became the longest-serving in Europe’s stock market with a market capitalization of about 80,000 employees. In the year 2000, the company was essentially operating in France despite having various operational sites in more than 80 countries. BNP Paribus has tremendously evolved in the last ten years due to the technological advancements in the market, highly competitive market environment and also the invention and innovation in the industry. The modification has been done with success as they have been able to seize the various opportunities they come across with the full focus of their strategic goals. The company, in order to realize its strategic goals, has been in dire focus on mitigating the balancing of the business mix, cost-cutting on the various projects undertaken and also the management of various risks involved by the risk management personnel. In the current years, BNP Paribus has emerged as the largest bank in the eurozone with the largest employee turnover of approximately 200,000, maintaining the top-tier status and also setting the global footprints for other companies and banks to emulate. Currently, BNP Paribas has four domestic markets including Italy, France, Luxembourg and Belgium and this has been inherent in turning the bank into more solid with a magnificent human touch. In the year 2007, various financial institutions globally had been affected by the economic recession and many of the institutions collapsed. This mitigated the public trust in the various banking institutions and, therefore, the customer turnover declined. Central Banks in various countries had to intercede in order to restore public confidence in the banking institutions. France was among the countries that intervened, and its main intention was to provide the banks with the amount of currency needed in order to prevent credit evaporation. After the crisis had been solved the unemployment and economic deterioration followed in many parts of the continent. BNP Paribas, during this economic crisis period, focused on its development model which will be aimed at customer satisfaction. The model also focused on risk management techniques, genuine flexibility, and the business portfolio balance. Within these three years BNP Paribas, using the development model, was able to survive the dire economic eventualities and were able to make profits. This enhanced the Group in increasing its market shares in different parts of the world in relevant to cementing its ambitions in Europe in accordance with its strategic goals. Recently the Group has been able to complete the various cross-border dealings by the acquisition of the Fortis Banque and BGL. This acquisition has marked a tremendous increase in the Group
