For this project, the deliverables will include creating a weekly newsletter for advertising products of the business, posting of various articles in the advertising site and introduction of a chain of podcasts enclosing interviews with various specialists. Another deliverable will be the creation of a teen’s site that will specifically address youths and teenagers. These will be the tangible products that the project will offer. Milestones of the project According to Wang (2011), Milestones refers to important occasions or attainments, which engross the deliverables presented. Acknowledgment of deliverables can symbolize a certain milestone. Milestones ensure that the project team hub on the current phase or work while the deliverables are the outcomes of the work done during the phase. Burley (2011) adds that a milestone is a firm and quick due date that signifies a key achievement during the course of the project being controlled. For the completion of this project, the milestones will include the completion of the design phase within one and a half month, completion domain and web hosting for approximately two weeks and the design of the weekly newsletter and the articles, which will take approximately one month. Other milestones will include conducting interviews for approximately one week as well as the formal launch of the advertising site, which will take two days. Technical requirements of the project Project management technical requirements include the components of the project plans, implementation, initiation and documentation. Technical requirements draw round the order in which the project team scrutinizes the project from start to end. They also offer procedural guidance for changes related to cost or other unseen factors. The following are the technical requirements for this project.   * The newsletter should be in a position to attract more than 100,000 readers weekly.
In a geriatric population, some of the common diseases and conditions may appear in an atypical manner. Therefore, this population of patients requires more attention in the diagnosis and care of common conditions (Auerhahn, 2007). An example of an atypical presentation of a condition in the geriatric population is the personal experience with a patient who was later diagnosed to have End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). The common presentation of this condition includes generalized abdominal edema with marked ascites (Flaherty, & Resnick, 2011). The patient may present with a number of typical presentations such as anemia and decreased urine output. However, this particular patient had signs of dizziness and easy fatigability. Traces of blood were present in his stool in the form of melena. Initially, doctors thought of a malignancy, with the indication of the patient most likely having colorectal carcinoma, which may strike in the same way (Wold, 2008). Relevant investigations were done, with results showing no signs of any malignancy. An analysis of the electrolytes in blood and a urine analysis provided the answer, thus showing that the patient had
Introduction Marketing is a complex process that involves more than just promotional activities. Marketing can be defined as a process of facilitating an exchange of something of value for something needed. This implies that the marketing process is likely to come along with some costs. Marketing is a very important element in any organization. It is therefore necessary to have a clearly designed marketing plan or strategy in order to have a successful organization. This is achieved through marketing research, which is a systematic process of gathering data that is associated with issues concerning marketing products and services, recording it and finally analyzing it for effective decision making. Marketing research entails a process or function that brings together various components of a market for instance the consumers, the public as well as the customers to the marketer. This is made possible through appropriate information. In marketing of existing products, it is necessary to understand the customer’s needs. This understanding will act as guideline in moulding the product and service to maximize customer satisfaction (Lamb, 2009). This piece of work will look at Beeline Vietnam Company and aspects related to research marketing strategy. Marketing Mix Critique – Section 1 Telecom industry in Vietnam is highly competitive. For this reason, it requires application of appropriate marketing strategies by various business organizations in an effort to secure a good market share in the competitive world or rather attain and maintain a competitive advantage. Beeline Vietnam Company is however confident enough to succeed in its operations based on the fact that it has succeeded in other countries. All in all, strategic marketing strategies ought to be adopted. “In spite of being a newcomer in the Vietnamese telecom market, Beeline VN inherits the experience of building telecom networks in many countries in the world and has international and Vietnamese professional, experienced, enthusiastic and passionate human resources. Beeline VN is completely confident to succeed.” (Vietnam Business News 2010, par 2). Marketing mix is a crucial tool in a business organization. Organizations are usually defined by the products and services they offer. Marketing mix is a combination of various aspects of marketing that are geared to drive a company into achieving its goals and objectives. Marketing mix, therefore lays a benchmark for the implementation of the company’s marketing strategies. The mai
Introduction Leadership is essential to the success of any organisation. This has led to many researchers and academicians focusing on the various ways leadership can be improved to increase the chances of organisational success. It is for this reason that there have emerged several leadership models and leadership theories that can be applied in organisations (Northouse 2013). The current models and theories are built around the modernist assumption regarding losers and winners, control and power, as well as local interactions as opposed to international interactions. These theories are intended to lead post-industrial, as well as post-modern enterprises. In the 21 st century, there has been an increased application of integral leadership, among other models and theories of leadership. By definition, integral leadership is the kind of leadership that seeks to integrate the various leadership styles into one style that is more effective and efficient. This article will focus on integral leadership in the 21 st century. Integral leadership The world today has become highly dynamic, thus the needs of people are also changing rapidly. In addition, the increased globalisation has led to people from different cultures interacting in the workplaces. People from different cultures have varying needs and different leadership styles. The major objective of leadership is to influence people so that they can work together towards the achievement of a common goal (Prewitt 2004). It is, therefore, important for the leaders to try to understand the various mindsets of the people they are leading, their varied values, capabilities, situational dynamics, as well as their goals. Leaders also need to interact with the employees in all useful ways to ensure that employees are fully motivated to work towards a common goal. For a leader to be able to understand all the values of the various employees, there is a need to apply a leadership style that integrates the various styles (Dervitsiotis 2007). Integral leadership is a style that is able to include different relevant variables. It is a kind of leadership that includes theory at an applied research level and at a meta-level. The style was coined for the first time in the 1980s by a man known as Ken Wilber. In recent years, American businesses are said to be headed to self-destruction as the producers are currently making more goods with few resources. As a result, supply has exceeded demand. Nevertheless, the knowledge base of the people is likely to sustain the production for a relatively long period of time. Leaders have now focused on innovations and application of technologies. Employees feel demoralized, and organisations have fallen prey of moral deficiencies of leaders as a result of the increased technology applications (Vugt, Hogan & Kaiser 2008). It is a system that is likely to become th
The focus on ethical practices and principles is essential to using technologies during the teaching-learning process because it is essential to avoid any violation of ethical principles associated not only with the traditional classroom environment but also with the online classes. According to Lin, the typical ethical concerns associated with the technology use in relation to the learning process are “copyright, learner privacy, and accessibility” (Lin, 2007, p. 411). The instructor’s task is to create the conditions to avoid the copyright infringement, privacy violation, and the rules for accessing the necessary materials in order to protect the rights and interests of both students and educators. Thus, such course activities as the development of the e-learning class activities and the associated PowerPoint Presentation for EDU 655 can be discussed as demonstrative to the Program Learning Outcome 5 which is to “exemplify ethical practices of technology usage”. To respond to the discussed outcome completely, it is necessary to redesign the activities in order to state the importance of ethical principles and practices regarding the technology use in the teaching-learning process.

Introduction Curriculum and teaching in physical education is an issue that requires attention. This is because many schools do not integrate physical education into the curriculum. According to a recent research, physical education activities are important because they help in the holistic development of the students and the teachers. This is because they facilitate the physical, social, psychological and emotional well-being. As a result, this paper will discuss the concepts of teaching physical education, its role and the effects on the realities of teaching as well as the teachers’ performance. Thereafter, an evaluation of internal consistency will take place. Finally, the paper will end by the changes in the teaching curriculum and the way forward. Concept of teaching physical education The concept of teaching is to equip the student with knowledge that will help in personal and societal transformation. The teacher achieves this by student centered learning which entail a shift from the known to unknown (Jewett & Bain, 2010). The students are given a task which they research and then discuss the findings with the teacher. Finally, the students will be empowered with knowledge that helps in changing the society. The concept of teaching physical education is diverse because of the elusive definition of the subject. According to Bain (2010), the concept is not limited to the curriculum of teaching physical education but it amalgamates the view of the people and the culture in the society. There are five foremost concepts of teaching physical education curriculum. They include biological oriented, pedagologistic education, personalist movement, conformist sport socialization and critical constructive movement. Naul (2008) states that biological oriented concept concentrate on the training of anatomical as well as physiological variables. On the other hand, pedagologistic education focuses on the overall personal development. Additionally, personalist movement helps the students to realize their competencies and identities. Furthermore, conformist sport focuses on physical fitness and assisting the students to establish their talents in sports. Lastly, critical constructive movement helps a person to grow socially. In general, the aim of physical education curriculum is to empower an individual with knowledge that will help him or her transform the society. The futures of the concept of teaching and the concept of teaching physical education curriculum relate to each other in a variety of ways. To begin with, they are all justified and legitimized as in the school subjects. Secondly, Renson (2008) states that they share a common objective of transforming an individual into a mature person and the society into a better place. Thirdly, both concepts have ways of achieving the goals and objectives. Finally, assessment and evaluation take place to determine if the students have gained the required concepts. The role of athletics, adapted physica
Root Problems and Their Symptoms The Texaco Company faced a number of problems at the end of the 1990s. The most important and influential challenge was the opportunity to solve the questions of exclusion and discrimination of the minorities and women from the company’s workforce in such high status posts like management. Still, it was not the root problem. Such problems like racism, unfair payment, and lack of ethics may be regarded as the negative outcomes of the root problem that was the financial crisis as a result of which the decrease in crude oil and natural gas prices reduced the revenue earned and had to do some changes like reduction of its employees (Trevino & Nelson, 2010). To solve the problems and increase some workers’ chances to earn good more many unfair activities were taken: black employees were humiliated in oral forms and deprived of the same conditions which were available to their white colleagues; women could not get an access to high positions and did not have a chance to demonstrate their true potential; the minorities received very low salaries compared to their white counterparts. Unresolved Issues Although most of the problems got solved through the cultural change in the company, there are still some issues which remain to be unresolved. For example, the rate of employment and promotion of the minority employees are still very low despite of the slight improvement in their consideration for employment. The minorities and women cannot get the desirable access to high positions and work under the conditions which allow them influence company’s decisions. The discrimination lawsuit that was well supported by the tapes was not discussed till the end; this is why it is considered as the most important public unresolved issue. Roles of Key Players Such As Stakeholders, Consumers, Employees, Management, Shareholders, and the Community The role of each participant is integral for the successful development of the whole company. For example, stakeholders usually give a kind of positive nod to all types of company’s improvement and development. Stakeholders are those people who encourage different industries be more confident in the chosen activities even if some uncertainties take place around. A former top Texaco official was involved in disclosing the discrimination practices of the company through the talks which were recorded in the tapes disclosed to the media which made the problems known to the public. Bari- Ellen Roberts was an African-American former senior financial analyst in the company who played the role of exposing the dirty deals of Texaco and then became an ordinary consumer. She published the book about the bad treatment to many black employees and about the way they suffered being the members of such cruel team. Most shareholders were also affected by the development of the events in the company. Such people like Carl Icahn who perform the function of a shareholder took care about their investments in the company due to the scandals. It was a dilemma on whether to continue being part of the company or to quit. All shareholders w
The SAP vendor provider was the ERP provider of Keda Company as will be seen in the case study. ERP projects are proofed to be expensive and risky considering that they need a lot of money to purchase and to maintain. Keda embarked on an ERP implementation project to solve the short – term and the long – term problems that were likely to occur when expanding to the foreign market. The major processes of implementing an off-the-shelf ERP system were calling out for the potential vendors, interviewing, short listing and then selecting the highest rated presentation. SAP emerged the winner of implementing the Keda ERP system. Leadership plays a pivotal role in the success of ERP projects.

The concept of a family routine encompasses a wide range of daily activities such as regular gatherings, common meals, celebrations, and so on. According to the nursing experts, the repeatable traditions and collective behaviors in families stipulate the establishment of strong bonds between related people (Kaakinen, Coehlo, Steele, Tabacco, & Hanson, 2015). Thus, it is beneficial to teach children to celebrate birthdays in the company of close people, so that to raise them loved and supported. It is acknowledged that having meals together makes people closer to each other since during such gatherings some routine problems and doubtful decisions are typically discussed, which identifies a spirit of family understanding. According to the findings of the quality of life research study, which targeted 149 young people, 60 % of participants pointed out that their family traditions are highly significant for them. Children, who are raised in favorable environment experience less emotional stresses (Santos, Crespo, Silva, & Canavarro, 2012). Family routines are the fundamental generators of values and living standards. For instance, many families have a tradition of visiting theaters every weekend. The custom may bear a witness to the high cultural and spiritual development of the related members. Moreover, it was approved that establishing strong family routines promotes positive integration into new environments. Thus, due to Mayberry, Shinn, Benton, and Wise (2014), homeless children, who are adopted by a new family, do not face pressures and misunderstandings if they are taught to the clear standards of family relations. The practical implementation characteristics of family traditions and routines are the tools of health promotion. The parameters of this nursing technique can be evaluated through the study of a real-life case. Mr. and Mrs. Johnes have recently lost their best friend, Mrs. Austin, who died in an automobile crash. Mrs. Austin was raising her child alone. Therefore, after the catastrophe her friends decided to take care of Mrs. Austin’s 12-year old daughter. After the official adoption, the girl felt extremely uncomfortable in a new family and evinced her extreme annoyance in all daily activities. Mr. and Mrs. Johnes made an initial decision of giving their new daughter much freedom of behavior since they considered that their mentoring could interfere wi
