Introduction The significance of tourism and hospitality jobs in both developed and developing nations is demonstrated by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), which recommends that tourism and hospitality-linked operations account for more than 250 million jobs or 8.8% of jobs worldwide. 1 However, while the number of jobs is not questionable, the quality of majority of such positions is of enormous concern to professionals and decision-makers alike. In spite of the rhetoric of decision-makers and corporate managers that people are the sector’s most critical asset, several remain doubtful that this perception is developed through pragmatic research. 2 McGunnigle and Jameson identify the problems to live and work in a service sector which, according to them, is categorised by two types of hospitality careers: large group of low-talent, low-income careers and a lesser group of high-talent, high-pay careers, with a small number of careers being in the middle of such two extremes. 3 This paper focuses on tackling a number of the critical human resource (HR) concerns that must be addressed so that companies can retain this environment. To do so the paper will critically review a number of the issues which make people to portray tourism and hospitality job as generally dissatisfying and unpleasing, while as well taking into account examples of best practise, significant strategy reactions and theories of human resource management which may provide evidence for higher optimism in the manner individuals are organised within the tourism and hospitality sector in Australia. Tourism and Hospitality Industry To recognise the variety both of the diversity of sub-industries and kinds of careers the tourism and hospitality sector in Australia is likely to create, this paper cannot take into account all of these elements in detail. In fact, more is known regarding jobs in a number of sub-industries than others. For instance, the business-related hospitality sector including restaurants and bars, hotels, nightclubs and pubs is the biggest sub-industry with roughly 73% of workers in Australia. 4 Predictably, then, the business-related hospitality sector is well served with widespread studies about the type of jobs and human resource management approaches. In contrast, little has been studied about
Edgar Poe is one of the poets whose work is widely read across the world. He is one of the first American writers who managed to rely completely on writing as a source of livelihood. Edgar Poe was born in Boston in 1809. His father left the family while Edgar was still very young. His mother died of tuberculosis in late 1811. After the death of his mother, Edgar Poe was taken by a rich merchant family. It is from this family that the boy was brought up. The main themes that are evident in his work are the themes of death and love. Thesis Statement In his work, Edgar has concentrated in various issues that face people in the society. Some of the main themes that are common in most of his work are love, death and women. This study seeks to analyze these themes based on his different works. A significant portion of Edgar Poe’s work emphasizes the reflections of death and the questions about life after death. For instance, the theme of death is clearly demonstrated in the poem Eldorado. In this poem, the protagonist is determined to achieve his life goals (Sova 27). However, he is only able to reach these goals in death. Edgar Poe had spent a significant portion of his work on these two themes. His work was to a great extent influenced by his life experiences. Another work done by Poe that emphasizes on the theme of death is Annabel Lee. In this poem, Edgar Poe depicts the death of a beautiful woman. This poem relates to the narrator, Poe, who fell in love with Annabel Lee when he was a teenager. He says that his love for her made the angels become jealous (Jackson 253). Although she was loved, death did not hesitate to take Annabel Lee. She died before she could fulfill her goals. In this case, the author talks about the kingdom of the sea. The kingdom of the sea implies the memory of the speaker. It is revealed that though many years passed after Annabel Lee had left, nonetheless, the recollection about her could not fade from the narrator’s memory. This shows how death obstructs people from realizing their goals. In his poem, Annabel Lee, the narrator describes how death took this young girl, Annabel. He speaks of a chilling wind from the sky that emerged resulting in the death of her wife. The author is very convinced that it is the angels who blew the cloudy sky that caused the death of a loving wife. In line 26, the narrator further emphasizes the strength of the love between him and his departed wife. In his statement, he says that they experienced the love that had never been experienced by older and wiser people (BookRags par 5). This further reveals the love that existed between the narrator and his wife. Even after the death of his wife (Annabel), the narrator continues adoring and being attached to his wife. He insists that nothing would stop him from loving her. He says that his love for her was beyond death, so it grew even stronger after her death. The narrator talks about the moon and the stars that acted as the messengers who continued to bring her love for him i

Introduction The proponent of the study examined the association between the believability of the financial reporting system within corporate America and the effectiveness of the government systems that were in place to prevent fraud. In order to accomplish this goal, the proponent of the study utilized a sample comprised of 87 firms that were identified by the SEC as fraudulent. At the early stage of the research process, a confirmation was made that the behavior of the said fraudulent firms were consistent with the results of previous research. For example, it was confirmed that these problematic companies were guilty of poor governance. In addition, the said firms were characterized by the least number of outside board members, fewer numbers of audit meetings, fewer number of financial experts on the audit team, and a higher number of CEOs found to have dual roles as chief executive officer of the company and chairman of the board of the same company. Nevertheless, it was also found out that firms with fraud issues have the capability to make changes and improvements to the company’s financial reporting protocols. However, fraudulent firms suffer due to trust issues. Nevertheless, the companies that labored diligently to improve financial auditing procedures were rewarded by superior stock performance. According to the author, the improved performance was a clear indicator that investors value effective and appropriate governance improvements. Main Research Question According to research findings, financial reporting fraud is the inevitable outcome of poor corporate governance. However, little is known about the changes that firms made after fraud detection. In addition, little is known about the effectiveness and impact of fraud detection and improvements made to the system for the purpose of restoring the trust that was once enjoyed by investors. Due to the absence of meaningful research and crucial data, the proponent of the study sought to find out if
Role of Organizational Culture in Change management The role of organizational culture as a factor influencing successful change in organization becomes apparent when two organizations with different culture or organizations from two different national cultures are merged together. Organizational culture influences various phases of change and most importantly the implementation process of change. Culture becomes an important factor that influences change when organizational, rather than individual, change is brought into effect. However, in the 1980s emphasis was laid on the importance of culture as a change management agent, but recently researchers have branded culture as an obsolete tool for change management. This paper will discuss literature that demonstrates the role of organizational or corporate culture on the change management. The literature review is divided into sections dealing with theories of organizational culture, the impact of culture on change management, how culture can be an impediment to change, and the recent literatures that shows the effect culture has on change management. Organizational culture and Adaptability Culture has been a strong influence in the functioning of the social organization. Social scientists have often produced annals of work relating the relative effectiveness of culture on the functioning of organization. Denison and Mishra (1995) studied organizational culture and demonstrated the organizational effectiveness of culture. Organizational culture is defined as a “clan” that can effectively motivate the functioning of the organization (Denison & Mishra 1995). The research paper demonstrates that organizational culture has a strong influence on better performan
Introduction The 20 th and 21 st centuries have produced various influential business leaders who range from corporate giants to music industry moguls. Their business headship is anticipated to establish pragmatic ideas for their corporations and/or individuals who they guide. Some of the renowned bosses include Jack Welch who was the CEO of General Electric and Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airlines among others. Such leaders have adopted unique headship styles that fit their businesses. However, this discussion is based on Anne Mulcahy, the Chief Executive Officer of Xerox who headed the company from 2000 to 2009 (Xerox Corporation, 2015). Her overall leadership style, company’s organizational structure, and culture will be discussed about the business approach to human capital management and employee development. The paper will also present the effectiveness of her leadership qualities in enhancing workplace productivity and the shared vision of the organization. Besides, her chosen leadership qualities, success in motivating and empowering her employees, and custome
Introduction The culture is always an interesting topic for discussion. It is a set of rules and traditions that have formed over the years under the influence of different factors. The culture of my country, Saudi Arabia is truly fascinating, and it has been changing over the years. Culture of Saudi Arabia Islam plays the most important role in the culture of this country. The clothing is a necessary part of the tradition, and it reflects the values of the people. Etheredge states that “to preserve the country’s purist religious position, many proscriptions of behavior and dress are enforced” (36). This means that the culture and beliefs are imperative for the country. Saudi Arabia is known for its unique climate that has had a tremendous impact on the culture (Ham, Shams, and Madden 165). Privacy is crucial for Saudi people, and sometimes it may be hard to get any information from them. However, they are extremely generous and offer help to everyone who is in need. Zuhur states that “social and linguistic expressions in Arabic are defined by the values of generosity, courage, and honor” (256). In other words, etiquette is a necessary part of the culture. The honor of a family is the most important part of the life of everyone who was born in the country. Oil is a crucial part of the culture, and it is often described in poetry and literature since it was discovered (Haykel, Hegghammer, and Lacroix 126). The topic of thirst is also often discussed because there are problems with the supply of water in some regions (Wynbrandt 323).
Introduction This paper involves producing a report to demonstrate how the current and past technology develops day by day to influence future developments. This report explains the relationship between technology on one hand and social and political factors on the other. Technology and marketing are inseparable in that marketing have to keep pace with the developing technology to ensure they use the most modern technology of the time. All aspects of marketing require technology; therefore, it is essential for the stake holders in marketing to understand technology as it develops. Technology is the use of modern tools and structures to improve on the already existing ones. This is to make them profitable and efficient at the same time. Many firms and companies should invest on technology so as to continue benefitting from their marketing structures. The challenges and opportunities that are brought about by technology will be presented in the report. Analysis of past and current technology In marketing, there are different types of technologies, which include; sustaining technologies these are most technologies that improve the existing product to the liking of the customers. 1 According to Christensen well led companies always provide in relation to customers demand. The disruptive technologies create a new proposition and advance the performance of a commodity or product in relation to the new arrangement. Disruptive technologies are mainly used in goods which are cheaper, smaller and easier to use. 2 However, disruptive technologies do not have an immediate impact on traditional products and, therefore, with their introduction they do not guarantee a large share of the market. 3 Opportunities Development of technology increases a company’s opportunities of doing business. 4 The modern technology enhances marketing which widens the scope of the company and increases its sales. 5 This facilitates further growth of a company. This has improved in the recent years because companies could use rudimental methods of marketing since there was minimum technology. 6 The methods, which were used in the past were limited and could, not create any impact to the existing customers or the potential ones. 7 Technology is also essential in development of new products because it shortens the time of production which is vital in the line of marketing. 8 Challenges Many existing companies use traditional technology and methods of marketing because their customers are not interested about companies’ new products. 9 These companies investment is minimal when it comes to new technology. 10 This is because the new technology does not contribute to the increase of the sales. This reduces the chances of the company to expand and; therefore, new technology is hard for the existing companies to invest in and embrace. The disruptive technologies create a threat to the exist companies the reason behind this is that they can run them into losses. The greatest challenge of technology is that businesses, which do not exist, can not be analyzed when coming up with a marketing plan. 11 This means that the impact of new technology can not be ident
Introduction The Mongol empire was the second-largest historical empire after the British Empire. It served from 1206 to 1405. Its territories expanded from East Asia to central Europe with its founder, Genghis Khan. The Mongol military was very strong and managed to fight across most of its neighborhoods such as china, the Middle East, and some parts of Europe to expand its boundaries. The impact of Pax Mongolica on Eurasia during the 13 th Century Pax Mongolica played a major role in facilitating the exchange of cultures as well as trade between the East, The West, and the Middle East. The Mongol empire is believed to have brought the plague, famous for the black deaths that swept through almost half the population in Eurasia. The black deaths that also affected the Middle East and Europe changed the political and social-economic history of Asia and Europe. The Mongol impact on Eurasia can be attributed in three forms, the effect on Eurasia integration which they succeeded by introducing the plague, the Political imbalance that came as a result of overpowering of the European administration by Mongol’s strong army, the Mongol Empire took control of Eurasia and influenced their culture as well as the economy, they brought along their merchants to Europe and Asia under very tight security hence was able to trade with Eurasia. Finally, the Pax Mongolica was responsible for the integration of Eurasia. During the Mongol empire trade routes were opened between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East together with Eurasia as well as mailing services intensified within the regions. Conclusion The Mongol empire was faced with problems after its founder, Genghis Khan died although he had divided his great empire into four to his sons, the Khans.
WHS Management System for VTI Group Mining and Minerals before acquiring coal fields in Western Australia and Queensland VTI Group Mining and Minerals (VTIGMM) has implemented the Work Health and Safety Management System (WHSMS) to guarantee safety of workers and prevent health risks. This system is suitable in terms of the WHSMS’s inclusion of all required elements, such as WHSMS policy, responsible actors, WHSMS procedures, an emergency response plan, communication principles, training, contingency plans, and record management among others (Safe Work Australia 4). However, the system can be discussed as appropriate only if such aspects as improved safety standards and workplace conditions, improved recordkeeping, guaranteed legal compliance with reference to all VTIGMM locations, integration with the company’s management systems, and demonstrated commitment to WHS are observed. WHS Legislation Relevant legislation to WHS includes acts, such as Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS Act), which was enacted by the Commonwealth, and adapted state and territory acts ( Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 for Victoria ), regulations (Work Health and Safety Regulations 2017 for the Commonwealth and Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 for Victoria ), Australian Standards, codes of practice and guidelines. Acts are law statements that provide an overview of how to maintain health and safety in the workplace. Regulations are laws that provide detailed standards to meet in order to comply with acts. Australian Standards represent specific national requirements regarding work health and safety management (Australian Government 12). Codes of practice and guidelines provide practical advice on how to meet laws, standards, and requirements, and they are specific depending on industry. Changes in WHS Policy and Procedures After analyzing VTIGMM’s WHS policy and procedures, it is possible to suggest four improvements to the system. Firstly, it is necessary to guarantee that WHS policy complies with WHS legislation across jurisdictions and locations where VTIGMM operates. Secondly, WHS procedures should reflect improving working conditions for workers to make the workplace safe in terms of addressing manual lifting of coal blocks and handling hazardous materials. Thirdly, systematic WHS recordkeeping should be implemented to guarantee integration of VTIGMM’s management systems. Lastly, WHS policy should be improved to demonstrate the company’s commitment through changing action plan records. Individuals Responsible for WHS At VTIGMM, individuals responsible for implementing the WHSMS are supervisors and managers, including a WHS officer, who are mem
