Standard description of the organization The Carl Zeiss Group is engaged in optical and optoelectronics. The organization has interests in various product areas such as eyeglasses/sports optics, industrial metrology, medical technology, microscopes, optical systems/spectrometer, photography/cinematography, semiconductor technology, and planetariums. The organization has its head office at Oberkochen, Germany and has 40 other offices at various global locations. The Indian wing of the organization is considered to have a competitive edge over its main competitors (in India) such as Essilor and VisionSpring. Essilor has a low reach and is dependent on the donors’ ability to spend. On the other hand, VisionSpring doesn’t have much finance (is dependent on third party financing), has low reach, and has low man power. Zeiss is an organization that cares for the society and follows the corporate social responsibility guidelines. Carl Zeiss is the only company whose Coordinate Measuring Technology is used by Porsche. Two-third cataract surgeries (throughout the world) are carried out using Zeiss microscopes. Logos and trademark The following graphics depict the transformation of the logo of the Carl Zeiss Group: The last one has been the group’s logo since 1997. ‘Zeiss’ is the trademark of the company. Mission statement, history, charter, bylaws, and structure The mission statement of the Carl Zeiss Group is, “As the pioneer of science in optics, we continue to challenge the limits of our imagination. With our passion for excellence, we create value for our customers and inspire the world in new ways” (Zeiss, 2012, p. 1). There are five business groups within the organization. Thirteen ‘strategic business units’ assist in making the functions more organized and systematic. Biographies and photos of key officers, board members, managers Dr. Michael Kaschke Born in 1957 in Greiz, Germany, he completed his degree in Physics from the Friedrich Schiller University in 1983 and a Doctorate degree (Dr. rer. nat.) in 1986. He got associated with Carl Zeiss in the year 1992, when he was appointed as a research scientist in the company. The big leap came when he was included in the Executive Board of Carl Zeiss AG. Finally, in 2011, he became the President and CEO of the Executive Board (Zeiss, 2014b). Dr. Hermann Gerlinger Born in 1953 in Mergentheim, Germany, he acquired his degree in Physics from the University of Würzburg. In 1984, he joined Carl Zeiss as a Project Manager and subsequ
The quote “discipline and student engagement” initiates an image of autocratic approaches to teaching. However, upon examination, one sees that it primarily refers to the facilitation of student education by teachers in active and meaningful. Every individual in class engaged in the practice of education, teacher or student, brings a particular cultural perspective and unique personal history of experiences in the classroom, an understanding which I have developed through years of experience in the in the classroom, first as an educator, teacher professional developer/consultant and now finally as a policy developer. Viewing education through this lens of personal experiences of teachers and students, one finds the relation between necessity of “proper order and discipline” and “original thinking, inquiry and freedom of speech” in the classroom. I firmly believe that by actively engaging students in learning through arts, they be motivated to develop the crucial ability to be persistent in tasks; through their successes, they develop self-confidence which has a vital impact on their capacity to focus and desire to learn in class. In addition, participation in arts provides students with opportunities to develop social skills including conflict resolution, self-control, and collaboration, as well as social tolerance and empathy which are strong components of the policy development of the arts curriculum. As a leader of the curriculum development project, I am aware of the importance of student awareness and also need to consider diverse perspectives on issues related to “character development” and “safe schools” initiatives. As such, using arts experiences that are focused, strategies and conventions can be devised to develop understanding for art forms including, dance, drama, music, or visual art works. Identification of common values in various works of arts, both aesthetic and human, can be used to encourage students to be responsible and critically literate members of society. Through arts, students can learn to approach issues and present ideas and viewpoints in new ways and to challenge perceptions, understand the perspectives of others while engaging their audience. Teachers have the responsibility to set the stage for a structured but reassuring learning environment in which students feel free to explore open-ended problems and experiment with new or alternative approaches and ideas. Arts education provides teachers with opportunities to differentiate between instructional learning environments through carefully planned activities which involve exploration of personally relevant ideas. This approach results in classrooms that encourage students deliver optimal quality work which affirms the worth of all students, and helps them strengthen their sense of identity resulting in the development of a positive self-image. Additionally, staff and students are encouraged to value and respect diversity in school and the wider society within which they function. Arts can be therefore become an integral part of school strategy to support enhanced student attendance, stu
List and describe components of the promotional mix. Give example for each. The promotional mix is part of 4Ps’ marketing mix, and it can be divided into personal and non-personal communication with the customer (Kurtz and Boone 445). In this case, personal selling implies having direct contact with the consumer, and it is often used by real-estate agents and insurance providers (Kurtz and Boone 445). As for non-personal communication, it includes sales promotion, advertising, and PR (Kurtz and Boone 445). Advertising is utilized by well-known brands, and one of the examples is the advertising of shampoo on TV. In turn, sales promotion is often used by restaurants and retailers, and it implies ‘buy one get one free.’ Lastly, PR is presented by the company’s press releases about particular situations and recognition in social media. What factors affect the choice of promotion mix elements? A variety of factors tends to affect the promotion mix’s elements, including the available budget, organizational policies, type of the product and target market, and the actions of the competitors (Pride and Ferrell 375; Foxall 30). Some of the companies have a tendency to use all the promotional tools at the same time, but sometimes the factors mentioned above tend to limit their actions and choices. Firstly, the budget defines the available resources for the promotion activity, as different advertising instruments have various costs of the application. Furthermore, all other aspects mentioned above determine the company’s competitiveness and success by reviewing the strategies of the competitors and evaluating the main features of the target market. Cite some advertising appeals that promoters consider. What must marketers consider when choosing these? Advertising appeals are critical for the attraction of the customers to the brand, and, in this case, “humorous advertising appeals” change the reaction and encourage liking of the p
After the first publication, the audience had perceived “The Lottery” negatively, but later, this art piece obtained an appreciation. Tessie Hutchinson, the protagonist of the story, is a contradictory character who tries to find justice and save herself. The analysis of Tessie Hutchinson’s physical attributes and conflicts this character arises will show human weaknesses in her nature and reveal essential lessons readers can learn from her actions. Tessie Hutchinson shows a variety of behavior patterns throughout the story, which characterize her from various sides. She is a woman with a family, as she has a husband and three children. The author emphasizes the lack of commitment in her character by describing her late arrival at the lottery. The mentioned fact also reveals Tessie’s careless attitude and positive thinking, indicating good fortune in her background (Jackson, n.d./1948). However, it is possible to state that Tessie is morally strong and takes care of her family members in complicated and dangerous situations. It is proved by her trying to avert the ritual of stoning to death by arguing against the event’s fairness (Jackson, n.d./1948). Tessie may be considered a hypocrite since her attitude changes toward the conditions of the situation. This character shows weaknesses and typical human traits, which arise from the desire to live and protect one’s family. Tessie Hutchinson and her family are the event’s victims, which is the primary conflict she experiences. Tessie does not show the fear of being chosen and, according to the ritual’s provisions, sacrificed, and even jokes about it, saying, “wouldn’t have me leave m’dishes in the sink?” (Jackson, n.d./1948, p. 26). This pleasantry clearly indicates that the lottery for her is a game with little chance of affecting her. On the other hand, Tessie changes her behavior once it reveals that her family is chosen to be victims. She immediately tries to prevent the ritual of stoning to death by attempting to convince others that “it wasn’t fair” and does not succeed (Jackson, n.d./1948, p. 29). Tessie did not overcome that conflict because this character is intended to show human traits of nature, such as hypocrisy, but not unexpected salvation. Tessie Hutchinson may be considered as an image of a regular, careless human being, a loving mother, and a hypocrite. She did not show her intentions to prevent the lottery’s conduction but tried to avoid the ritual of stoning to death (Jackson, n.d./1948). The main outcome of her behavior is the advice not to perceive potentially dangerous events thoughtlessly. It is possible that Jackson attempted to show that fate chose Tessie’s family to be victims because of her initially careless attitude toward the deadly ritual. The Lottery is Shirley Jackson’s literary work that shows the conduction of an annual ritual of stoning to death the family chosen through casting lots. The protagonist of the story, Tessie Hutchinson, does not believe that she
Introduction After completion of high school education students who perform well join colleges and universities. Therefore students enroll in faculties of their own choice depending on their abilities. Moreover, specialized training that prepares the student for a successful career begins and normally takes between three to four years (Stephens, et al 333). Over time there has been major changes where institutions of higher education has been privatized, challenged by the increasing growth of technology and has had to expand due to changes in demography. The essay describes how colleges and university have changed over the last twenty years. It also explains why they have changed while giving examples. How colleges and university changed over the last twenty years Changes that have occurred in the higher education industry include privatization of the industry. The demand for higher education has led to privatization of higher education. The markets today employ people with education and training. As a result the industry must expand to accommodate the growing demand to train. The demography of students joining colleges and universities has increased. In 1990s there was a large population of student in their mid twenties who enrolled in colleges. Today young adults in their late teens and early twenties form a large proportion in colleges. However the focus on getting college education has changed where access and quality education with the minimum
The term ”social entrepreneurship” is relatively young. Paul Light (2008) admits that the term was coined by Bill Drayton in the 1980s (p. 4). And this fact presupposes the wide range of meanings which this notion implicates and some misconceptions in its definitions. Bornstein and Davis (2010) considered entrepreneurship to be contagious (p. 6) and stated that “social entrepreneurship is concerned with building platforms that enable more people at every age to think and behave like changemakers and to help them work together powerfully in teams and in teams of teams” (p. 8) Baron and Shane (2007) concluded that “entrepreneurship emerges out of the intersection of what might be termed inspiration and activation – recognizing opportunities for something new…” (p. 7). At the same time, there are indications that one should go beyond the innovational meaning of the notion and add the shade of leadership to it (Carsrud, 2007; Frederick, 2010). Light (2008) stated that “social entrepreneurs are not content just to give a fish or to teach how to fish. They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry” (p. 4). This jesting remark reflects the constant entrepreneurs’ work at improving this world and the inability to stop before the result is achieved even if nobody believes in the success of the initiation. Longenecker (2008) stated that “entrepreneurs need to dream BIG dreams – to see opportunities where others see only failures” (p. 3). It explains the requirements for positive thinking for becoming an entrepreneur and the ability to be in opposition to the public opinion shared by the majority. Besides possessing the right way of thinking the entrepreneurs are sure to be active and busy. Stoke (2010) stated that “the true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer” (16). Whatever difficult it may seem, a person has to put the dreams into reality, though the first step in taking action is not easy as a rule. Summarizing all the sides and shades of the notion, it should be mentioned that the traits of a social entrepreneur would be useful in any kind of initiative. I am going to make a career in tourism and I must admit that all the main points of the theories of social entrepreneurship will help me in realizing my dream of becoming a successful manager. The theoretical material made me believe that a person is able to make progress in almost any sphere by working hard, being active and looking at the situation from different perspectives, and trying to find the solutions instead of thinking of the problem itself. Thinking over my personal strong and weak points for becoming a good tourism manager and reading interviews of the famo
Introduction The case study provided shows that the media company has a number of infrastructural issues that should be addressed in order to improve its efficiency. The analysis shows that the entire infrastructure at the firm is redundant, which makes it necessary to have a new system that will improve the operations’ efficiency. The system must also be capable of protecting important data. According Marshall and Lowe (45), for a large firm that consumes massive data, it is common to have problems with the servers. In some cases, the users may put up servers that they do not necessarily need. This is one of the issues that have been identified in this case. Broadcasting 8 TV channels globally means that this firm needs a large and very efficient data management system that will ensure that there is seamless information sharing among the relevant authorities. The following are the objectives of this research.   * To address the problem of large number of servers and storage arrays   * To make cabling less complex and easy to manage by solving the problem posed by separate FC and IP networks   * To find a solution to the issue of limited space in data center for servers   * To improve the current data migration tools which are inefficient and cause downtime   * To determine how to make infrastructure management less complex and inexpensive Proposed Solution: Introducing VMware vSphere 6 The researcher conducted a detailed analysis of each of the issues raised, and determined that upgrading to VMware vSphere 6 will be the best solution that can be used to address the problems of this firm and improve its operational s
Over the past few decades, America has become a gateway to immigrants belonging to different neighboring countries. As one walks down the street one can easily observe the multi-cultural environment that has arisen due to immigration. Where most of the people have immigrated to America in pursuit of the “American Dream” of success, others have been forced into this country as slaves of the natives. In such a multi-cultural environment it becomes pertinent to understand and respect the culture, tradition, lifestyle, rites, and norms of different communities. In this paper, I aim to discuss some of the major characteristics of African American and Mexican American communities. I would also like to shed some light on some of the similarities and differences that may exist between the two cultures. The reason for my selecting the above-mentioned communities is the fact that people belonging to both communities are found in great abundance in almost all the states of America. At the same time, it is important to mention the fact that many of them have made themselves an important part of American life. Among the prominent ones include Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Eddy Murphy, Halle Barry, Vanessa Williams, Obama, and many more. It, therefore, becomes not only interesting but also important to understand the cultures that such celebrities and the people around us represent. African Americans or “Afro Americans” or “Blacks” or “Colored People” are the terms used for those Americans whose ancestors have been brought into this land from Africa as slaves. Now after centuries of slavery, these people live as free citizens of America having their share in all walks of life ( U.S. Dept. of Commerce, 2004) . African Americans have their own traditions and foods. Most of their festivals revolve around food items. It is for this reason African American cooking is most popularly known as “soul food”. Their foods are rich in fat and other nutrients. However, this lifestyle has made them quite vulnerable to various diseases such as cardiovascular, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. The majority of the African Americans are Protestants and as such, they have no dietary restrictions. However, some religious groups may have some dietary restrictions such as the Muslims, Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah’s witnesses, and others. African Americans give a lot of attention to individual’s favorite dishes. They have their own festival called “Kwanza” which is being celebrated since 1965 and was created by Dr. Maulana Karenga. The festival is celebrated from December 26 th till January 1 st . Karamu is another holiday that is celebrated on January 31 st . The day is celebrated with a special buffet, dresses, and ceremonies (Ewing, n.d.). Quilt-making tradition is also a unique feature
In the introduction, Emerson talks about the discoveries and amazing ideas and thoughts that our forefathers had. In my opinion, I think Emerson is trying to encourage us to view things or ideas on our own instead of taking them from our forefathers. He feels that one should look at things from a fresh perspective as different people have different thoughts, perceptions, and viewpoints of life, thus by looking at things differently, we will be able to come up with much newer ideas; as quoted from the text, “Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe”?. This clearly depicts the idea of romanticism whereby it stresses on emotions and aesthetic experiences of an individual. This is best described in his quote, “We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy”. I think this statement is very applicable in today’s world where people tend to trust what is told to them rather than their own instincts. Apart from that, the above quote also encourages people to be curious as curiosity brings answers, and develops a better idea of something rather than just assuming, which again relates to romanticism. In his first chapter, he talks about writing without referring to anyone before him or referencing, in other words writing an original piece of work. He also says that he believes in his work, and does not depend on anyone else to support him, except himself. This is quoted from the text, “I am not solitary whilst I read and write, though nobody is with me.” The above clearly highlights that original new ideas are valued during the transcendentalism period. Apart from that, Emerson also discusses “stars” in his 1 st chapter. I think he is trying to tell us that a universe is a beautiful place and we are somehow connected to it spiritually. Besides that, Emerson tells us as quoted, “If the stars should appear in one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore, etc”. We tend to not appreciate what we have until we lose it. One doesn’t stop and admire the beauty of the life they have, they only realize it when they have lost it, and then regret it; which is a bit too late. Emerson also describes a bond which he calls as “correspondences” whereby he describes that people and nature have an intuitive relationship. This is described by the text, “an occult relation between man and the
Most people perceive the aspect of anthropology in terms of the past. Archeology refers to the study of past remains with the objective of revealing the past. This could include fossils, landmarks as well as the culture of the ancient societies. Nevertheless, the conceptualization of archaeology is applicable to a diverse nature of studies with the view of learning about the present. In a similar manner that the archaeologists can come up with a hypothesis of civilization that was in existence millenniums ago, one can come up with inferences about self through a scrutiny of both the “preservable” and tangible objects that one uses. I embarked on a three-day mission with an objective of studying the waste product that comes out of me. Between the fourth and sixth of February, I carried a personal study of Garbology, scrutinizing my eating habits with the view of comparing two aspects of my behaviour—real and ideal. Ideally, my real behaviour is what I do in actual sense. My ideal behavior, conversely, is what I clai
