The company under consideration, StuffUNeed, is one of the businesses, which managed to survive during the COVID-19 crisis. They successfully reorganized their principal operations by starting to provide online shop and delivery services, while their current efficiency remains dubious. Therefore, it is vital to analyze its internal situation alongside the position on the market and its conditions to demonstrate the outcomes of the performed change. Strengths The strengths of StuffUNeed are primarily related to their impact on partners and their offers. They provide a wide range of products as per the demand during the pandemic delivered within two days and supports restaurant owners while offering employment to event drivers and hospitality staff (“About us, “n.d.). In other words, they successfully address the same needs as the big companies in the sector of food and drinks and thereby improve their reputation among entrepreneurs. Weaknesses Meanwhile, there are particular weaknesses hindering the development of the business. They are mostly connected to the lack of mobile apps and the limited delivery zone defined by the small scope of operations at the current stage (“About us,” n.d.). Hence, they cannot compare with technologically advanced companies as Flipdish delivery (Cleary, 2020; see Appendix A). As a result, further promotion of the services is complicated by the impossibility of competing with more convenient options. Opportunities The opportunities for the business are presented by the possibility to ensure gradual expansion in the future. Thus, the ongoing process of finding new partners, diversifying their offers, and covering more delivery zones alongside continuously hiring new personnel can boost profitability (“About us,” n.d.; McGowran, 2020). The successful outcomes of these processes allow assuming the future growth of the company regarding the delivery of products from local manufacturers. Threats At last, the threats for StuffUNeed are related to the market conditions implying severe competition. At present, the website’s offers are not more attractive than the ones of FoodCloud or Deliveroo, and these enterprises’ image among restaurants is better (Finn, 2020; Cleary, 2020). In addition, the changing market conditions might lead to the lack of demand for their services after the pandemic, and it is unclear if the company is capable of timely readjusting operations. Inbound Logistics The inbound logistics of StuffUNeed are connec
A Visit to Newgate is a short story, a part of the Sketches by Boz collection. In this short story, Dickens portrays his life and his time, values of the society and its traditions. A Visit to Newgate suggests that where Dickens rejected earlier sketches it was not merely for lack of space; though it may of course have been thought advisable to attract readers by the inclusion of some unpublished material. On the whole, it seems fair to regard work published by the beginning of November and omitted from the First Series of Sketches by Boz as deliberately rejected; though sketches published later might be left out simply for lack of space, since the new ones were by then already written. One published as late as 27 December 1835 was in fact included, but probably as an afterthought–‘Christmas Festivities’ (Fielding 44). There is no juxtaposition of sketches alike in subject matter; if there is any principle at work it is rather the emphasizing of variety. The second volume is slightly less miscellaneous in character, since ‘tales’ predominate (five old and two new), the other contents being two ‘Street Sketches’, four ‘Sketches of London’, and one ‘Scenes and Characters’. A Visit to Newgate vividly portrays the social life and mores of people. A democratic tendency in education, politics, and economics resulted in a growing range of readers in the Victorian period. This growth, both in a number of readers and in a range of social, educational, and economic backgrounds they represented, propelled the variety of forms and prices for fiction as much as did develop technology and reforms in taxation on paper and print. The chapter begins as ‘THE force of habit’ is a trite phrase in everybody’s mouth” (Dickens 191). Dickens portrays that with education reforms, increases in population, better and cheaper forms of printing, and economies of scale came to an increase in the amount of printed fiction that became available (the number of titles, the number of copies, and the range of literary quality) and in the variety of forms and prices that fiction took. Given the fraught condition of definition with which one is faced, it may equally be tempting to suggest that all novels are political, though all are not equally so. It might be said that some novels are born political, some become political, others have the political thrust upon them (Fielding 49). An added footnote in ‘A Visit to Newgate’ explains that conditions have changed since the sketch was first published; on the other hand, another footnote complimenting Ainsworth on his portrayal of Dick Turpin in Rookwood , introduced since the first edition, is removed. The hinted prospect of further stories about Newgate’s goes out since the tally of Dickens’s early stories was now complete, and the collection would not be further enlarged.
The case puts forward a dilemma of whether the human service practitioner should conceal that Tanya had brief contact with the father of her children even though he had legal problems. On the one hand, the practitioner needs to act to the best benefit of the client, while, on the other hand, she needs to comply with the ethical standards and policies of the organization she works for. In Tanya’s case, the advanced human service practitioner acted unethical, as she failed to acknowledge the limits of confidentiality to the client. According to Standard 3 of the ethical standards provided by the National Organization of Human Services (NOHS, 2015), “human service professionals inform clients of the limits of confidentiality prior to the onset of the helping relationship” (para. 7). Thus, the practitioner needed to have informed the client that she would be forced to tell the commission about the client’s contact with the father of her children, and such dialogue with vague phrases would not be needed. When working with the service user, it is crucial to consider several aspects of culture. In particular, according to Shepherd et al. (2019), the service provider should be aware of the possible biases associated with the client’s view of the family and individuals, success and growth, happiness and adaptability, spirituality, and social class. I believe that the practitioner was not acting in accordance with cultural humility, as she did try to learn how important it was for the service user to communicate with the father of her children. Advanced human service practitioners should have acknowledged that the client’s communication with the father of her children may negatively affect the chances of getting into the transitional housing program. Thus, as the employee’s supervisor, I would recommend assessing the culture of the client and engage in co-learning with the clients about their culture.
Dante Alighieri wrote “The Inferno” as a warning to his peers to turn from their sinful ways; anguish is all that is in store for those who are corrupt. This ground-breaking work painted a vivid picture of hell as an evil, inexplicably torturous place. Dante travels through the nine circles of the underworld with Virgil, a fellow poet, as his guide. “Therefore, for your own good, I think it well you follow me and I will be your guide and lead you forth through an eternal place. There you shall see the ancient spirits tried in endless pain and hear their lamentation…” (Alighieri, 31). Through their journey, Dante notices that as they travel deeper, the torment increases proportionally to the sins. Finally, as Dante and Virgil reach the most bitter, tormented place in the universe, the ninth circle of hell, they immediately depart after seeing Satan and the final circle of the underworld. ( Singleton, 134-40). The literature that Dante wrote was quite dark and unforgiving through nine layers of pain and suffering. The torture starts at the first layer with those who were neither for nor against God. They are damned to spend eternity in a whirlwind being stung by hornets. As Dante passes through this layer, he faints because of the agony of their plight. Continuing downward, the second layer contains those who are guilty of lust. Each couple is to spend eternity to be in a whirlwind, but can never touch. “And this I learned was a never-ending flight of those who sinned in the flesh, the carnal and lusty who betrayed reason to their appetite.” (Alighieri, 59) As Dante continues to the depths of hell, his spirit turns from compassionate to merciless. Through the next layers of torment, the punishment continually worsens, as do the sins of those who are tortured. Finally, after seeing many people that have wronged Alighieri, including the Pope that had a hand in exiling him, Virgil takes him to the ninth and final circle of hell where the most evil sinners in history inhabit. Finally, Virgil leads Dante to Satan, who is portrayed as a three-headed monster, immersed in a lake of ice whose flapping wings keep the temperature freezing. Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of Jesus Christ, is in the center mouth while Brutus and Cassius, betrayers of Caesar Augustus are in the other two mouths being torn to pieces, but never dying. “I had drawn close enough to one [head] already to make out the great arms along his sides, the face, the shoulders, the breast, and most of the belly.” (Alighieri, 259). This shows the true evil of the Prince of Darkness. Satan is shown as a monster instead of a demonic figure; this is only the start of the symbolism of Dante’s inferno. (Anderson, 89-91). While hell is usually portrayed as a fiery pit, Dante illustrates the worst part of hell as a lake of ice. This conceptually shows that a fate worse than fire and brimstone is necessary for those who commit the ultimate sin: the betrayal of a
Learning mathematics has been made easier by the introduction of practical learning activities. In essence, there are three stages of working mathematically. First, students engage in the description of mathematical situations by the use of everyday language, learning materials, and informal presentation. Secondly, the students attain a better approach to depicting mathematical methods using everyday language. In addition, the stage involves the use of diagrams, materials, and symbols. Thirdly, students use symbols to depict mathematical ideas by applying suitable terminologies. This approach of teaching mathematics is quite effective since mathematic lessons are accompanied by games formulated by teachers to assist the students. Over the years, teachers have been concerned with a packed curriculum, which lacks concise coverage of issues. Consequently, the teaching and learning of mathematics during early and middle school years need relevant strategies to impact positively on the progress of students in mathematics. In fact, without strategies and ideas to address students’ learning needs, it is obvious that learning mathematics would remain a challenge. Students need to learn mathematics in a manner, which they can relate to real-life situations. This implies that students should take mathematics as a problem-solving subject, and interpret the knowledge in solving real-life problems. The knowledge should be applied perfectly in contexts where mathematics is required in the problem-solving process (Siemon, Beswick, Brady, Clark, Faragher & Warren, 2011). The challenge at hand in teaching mathematics is the lack of precision in the curriculum hence teachers are burdened with the problem-solving strategies to cover the syllabus fully. In fact, an in-depth engagement in problem-solving is threatened by the level of content teachers have to cover. Therefore, embracing the manner in which they teach, and offer the curriculum content is vital. In essence, this is traced to the volume and organization of mathematics scholarly books. Indeed, there is an overlap in topics with a tendency of presenting the activities of low-level activities most of which are recurrent and quite unsuitable for students Therefore, the adoption new approach by incorporating mathematics learning activities is among the ways of creating a transformation, which is necessary in order to replace existing approaches in teaching mathematics. This is the way out in enhancing mathematics curriculum coverage, and effective outcomes for both teachers and students. The link between working
Market Product focus The introduced product seeks to transform Nike’s business model and profitability. This goal will be achieved by presenting a superior product that tackles the problem of rivalry in the industry. The production of a shoe with a changeable sole is an approach that seeks to meet the diverse needs of many customers (Rivoli, 2015). The strategy is also aimed at increasing the company’s revenues within a period of two years. Consequently, the corporation’s market share will increase significantly. Objectives Several goals will be considered to ensure that the targeted NikeMPx is produced and marketed successfully. To begin with, Nike Incorporation plans to increase its revenues by over 10 percent in two years. This goal is possible since the corporation’s established model supports the needs of different customers (Shen, Li, Dong, & Perry, 2017). Secondly, the organization is expecting to increase the number of its loyal customers. The aim is supported by the fact that many individuals who purchase the company’s products tend to become repeat customers. The third objective is to redefine the corporation’s business model and deliver positive results. Segmentation The wider market will be segmented using several approaches to ensure that more customers are informed about the intended product. The first one is that of demographics. Throughout the marketing process, attributes such as income, occupation, age, and gender will be taken into consideration. The aspect of income will also be identified to ensure that families and individuals who have average salaries purchase the shoe. Professional athletes, trainers, and coaches will also be identified in an attempt to support the marketing process (“Nike mission statement,” n.d.). Females and males aged between 14 and 45 will form the backbone of the segmentation process. Geographic segmentation will be used to divide markets into various regions. This will include North America, Europe, Asia, Middle East, South America, Africa, and Australia (Lechner & Boli, 2015). The final approach will be behavioral in nature. Individuals who engage in various sporting activities will be identified and targeted throughout the marketing process. Targeting People in different geographic regions exhibit diverse behaviors and cultural practices. Similarly, their actions and goals differ significantly. This information explains why a differentiated targeting strategy is appropriate for NikeMPx. This means that diverse promotional approaches will be implemented to meet the needs of different segments (Rivoli, 2015). The main aspect to change in each region is the formulated promotional message. The message will resonate with the needs of different customers. Positioning In terms of positioning, the identified product will be marketed as a superior shoe that delivers numerous benefits to the user. The shoe will be appropriate for people who engage in various sporting activities. It will also be useful for those who want to achieve their p
Introduction to career and goals With the increasingly high numbers of graduates in different fields of study and levels of competition for salaried employment, post-graduate studies and experience are gaining popularity as sure ways for individuals to secure themselves a future (Dwivedi, 2009). This is precisely the reason I have devotedly committed myself to the pursuit of higher education. Most academic ventures have a career goal attached to them, and so is mine. The goal I purpose to achieve at the end of my course is to become an administrator of a social service agency that deals with drug and alcohol abuse, child welfare, or working with children and families. To be able to achieve these goals, I decided that this course would place me at a competitive advantage over most of my fellow graduates. The sole reason I enrolled in the Health and Human Services Administration Master’s program was to gain extensive knowledge to prepare me for a position as a social service administrator. The recent trends in the hiring of managers are that companies are looking for highly qualified post-graduates since it is imperatively advantageous to have an administrator who is more learned and experienced than the other employees. Strengths and weaknesses This course has had a long-lasting influence on the pursuit of my career goal. Through this course, I have continually gained and sharpened my skills in readiness for the job market. This Health and Human Services Administration Master’s program has provided me with the tools necessary to be an effective leader. Through this program, I have undertaken the following courses: Management Principles, Health Informatics, Labor Relations, Human Services Administration, Human Resource Management, Lifespan Development, Common Diseases and Treatment, Ethics and Public Policy in Human Services, Fundamentals of Project Management, Healthcare Financial Management, Academic Research, and Writing, and Long-Term/Human Services System. The underlying goal of these courses is to impact human resource management skills, enable me to know how to treat those I administer, become up to speed with technology and its importance in healthcare and administration, and develop relationships that are more professional in nature. Personal experiences In this section, I will discuss some of the reasons why I think I am best-placed in my career and the areas I need to sharpen my metrics. First, as a master’s program level student, I have gained a lot, if not all, of skills and academic exposure necessary for me to execute my career professionally and successfully. During the course, I have learned the value of commitment and expertise whenever I am relating to my clients and fellow staff. Moreover, some of the personal attributes that I possess have helped me a great deal. I feel that I have what it takes to become a successful administra
The Big One is a documentary film by Michael Moore that was released to the public in 1998 as a follow-up to his 1989 film called Roger and Me . The film was produced during Moore’s tour around the U.S. in forty-seven towns to promote his book called Downsize This! His visits made him to discover the unprofessional conducts of several American big businesses that they use as a means of cutting costs. The riveting and humorous movie also exposes the wrongs of some callous politicians in the United States. The main theme of the film centers on the economic conditions of our times. The movie exposes a familiar pattern as appertains to the global assembly line. Company after company, in spite of recording high proceeds, has resolved to go south near Mexico, or to other places around the world so as to pay minimal wages, provide minimum employee benefits, and prohibit the employees from joining trade unions. Moore and his crew discovered that because several smaller towns are actually dependant on a small number of huge companies, the loss of any one of them brings overwhelming consequences on both the economic and social infrastructure of the town; consequently, the remaining companies use this situation to oppress the employees. Following a series of successful and unsuccessful interviews in various companies across the U.S., the film brings it home once more by ending at Nike headquarters with an interview with the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Phil Knight. This is interesting because Knight was the only corporate executive who agreed to meet Moore face-to-face. Moore gets the CEO to confess casually that he has never gone to the company’s plants in Indonesia in which its corporate image has been ruined by employing under-age workers. In Indonesia, workers, as young as fourteen yeas of age, are making the company’s most fashionable athletic shoes. Perhaps, Moore reveals that the unfavourable business practices of Nike make it to be the “biggest one.” Even though the meetings were tense, Moore conversations with Knight were good-natured, and they were one of the most riveting, successful feats Moore has ever pulled off. The theory of development that best describes Michael Moore’s viewpoint in the movie is the Marxist theory. The Marxist theory tends to give a materialistic interpretation of the society by criticizing the notion of capitalism. The social theory, proposed by Karl Marx, posits that in a capitalist society, like the one in the United States, an economic minority tend to take over and oppress an economic minority. Therefore, the system of capitalism is exploitative since the arrangement in which there are two opposing classes, the employers and the employees, the former tends to make huge profits by paying the latter meager wages. As pointed out in the earlier sections of the paper, Moore portrays various unfair practices by America’s b
The article Nontraditional Undergraduates is a great resource to those interested in learning about the classification of students in our education system. Its definition of nontraditionals is wider than most readers would expect. Were readers asked to define the term before reading this peace, most would define it as part time students. It, however, turns out that a traditional student possesses one of the following characteristics: delays enrollment, attends part time, works full time, financially independent, has dependants, is a single parent, or doesn’t have a high school diploma. Though it has a scope 30 years (between 1970 and 1999), the article further expounds on the future of on nontraditionals in American universities. According to the report, this group has grown by 72 percent in three decades, whereas the growth of student population grew by mare 28 percent. Nontraditionals are expected to expand further. This growth is slowly influencing academic institutions’ education procedures so they can meet the rising special demand. Some institutions have developed evening and weekend classes and distance learning programs that are more flexible to nontraditional students. Such flexibility is likely to influence the transfer of many students form traditional to nontraditional class, which will force institutions to keep innovating. The research question as to students comprising of nontraditional undergraduates are was well connected to the problem, purpose statement, and contents of the article. Different aspects such as age group, definition, interconnection between several characterizes how they enroll, how they cope with school work
