Chesapeake Energy Company is a natural gas producer (CSRHUB 1). The corporation incorporates its actions and possesses immense compression, midstream, oilfield and drilling properties. Oklahoma City is where the head office of the company is located. Chesapeake holds principal places in Marcellus, Fayetteville, Barnett, Haynesville, Eagle Ford, Granite Wash and Bossier natural gas shale plays among other oil plays (CSRHUB 2). In April 2011, the corporation experienced an explosion, which caused deaths of three personnel and made poisonous fracking liquids flow into Pennsylvania farmland, Bradford County, and a close by the stream. The corporation was condemned for its fracking actions, which violated the Clean Water Act, the Recovery Act and the Federal Resource Conservation (Chesapeake Energy 5). Since then, the company has had to incorporate the issue of hydraulic fracturing into its overall corporate strategy so as to address the needs of its stakeholders, such as the national Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Regulatory Response Mechanism; Structures and Issues Following this happening, Chesapeake willingly suspended conclusion actions in the Eastern Division to carry out an assessment of the reliability of similar wellheads. Each wellhead in the assessment was disintegrated so that the apparatus could be studied and pressure examined. Currently, Chesapeake has dedicated itself to assessing water sources and the soil, in addition to presenting regular information, to DEP. The corporation has decided to make use of local well-control experts, for future reasons. Chesapeake has planned to work intimately with DEP to devise a plan for re-establishment of the site. For upcoming processes, Chesapeake has employed transformations in its omission of the service providers, who gather and assess wellheads. Qualifications of contract workers will be assessed carefully, and broad citations for all stages of pressure assessment and tools calibration will be needed. International Lobbying Chesapeake Energy has lobbied the legislature on hydraulic fracturing (Business week 1). It also used $720,000 in the last quarter to hall the national regime on weather transformation and natural gas concerns (Business week 1). This was a 19% increase from the amount that was used in the third quarter. Hydraulic fracturing entails instilling enormous quantities of sand, water and other compounds in the ground so as to release enormous natural gas stores. By use of this technique, Chesapeake has emerged to be a leading gas producer. It asserts that the practice is secure. In addition, Chesapeake has pressed for larger utilization of natural gas since it emits less hazardous substances than coal and other fuels. The multi Stakeholder Environment of Business Chesapeake makes use of social media and magazines to develop trust in societies opposed to hydraulic fracturing actions, and converting masses support into broad community approval. The corporation also employs social media in guaranteeing sustainability of eccentric gas and oil making, in order to design an efficient society, st
The brand chosen for the marketing creative strategy is Sony PlayStation. The new product from the brand is a new model of Sony PlayStation home video game console that is going to be advertised among teenagers and young adults. The Purpose of the Project The purpose of the project is to advertise the new PlayStation console among the target market with the help of the Internet, i.e. social media, and draw the consumers’ attention to the product by means of creative advertising and viral videos/promo-campaigns. Such an approach will allow the team to address the target market correctly and through such means that are used by the target market on a daily basis. The main tool of the promo-campaign is the social media as they allow reaching out to creative consumers and target market and improve the presence and recognition of the brand in the Web 2.0. The target markets of the project are the teenagers (approx. 10-19 y.o.) and young adults (approx. 20-28) who are active users of social media and the Web. As it was stated in one of the studies devoted to blogs as marketing tools, the social media, and its users can be a perfect tool for a successful campaign of a product (Maurya 76). Nevertheless, any promo campaigns online need to be implemented with caution as inefficient planning will most likely result in a catastrophe. Thus, to advertise the new PlayStation console creatively and successfully, it is necessary to understand our target market and its wishes. The target market of the product belongs to the millennial generation whose social interaction heavily relies on social media and other online resources. What Are We Going to Tell Our Target? The target market of Sony PlayStation can vary; although it does target younger generations, PlayStation users that are older than 30, 40, 50, etc. also exist and their number is not small. Thus, it is important to understand what the representatives of the target market want to hear. Hard-core gamers, predominantly male and between 18-25 years, are interested in innovations and the gaming process itself, while mainstream players do not seek the truth “gaming process” but rather entertainment. Thus, the brand needs to address both types of consumers but with different messages. As it was done with PS 4, to address the hardcore gamers and their wishes, the campaign must be launched at websites and in magazines that this target market uses, i.e. games.com. As hardcore gamers are already familiar with the brand, it is not necessary to provide an advertisement that will explain what Sony PlayStation is and how it can be used. As proficient gamers stay focused on gamers’ news, it seems reasonable to provide an intriguing message, possibly in the form of a trailer, about the new console. Thus, rebuilding and refreshing of the gaming experience is what these customers want (Hou
Introduction The field of public administration has been developed throughout decades. Various thinkers tried to identify the best structure and the role of public administration. Some of the most influential theorists are William F. Willoughby, Max Weber, Leonard D. White and Mary Parker Follett. Major Contributors to the Field William F. Willoughby is one of the most prominent theorists who contributed greatly to the development of public administration. He thought that public administration could address all issues related to the government (Shafritz & Hyde, 2012). One of the most important contributions of the researcher is his work on budgetary reform. Willoughby believed that budgeting is crucial for proper development and functioning of the system. He focused on three aspects: the role of budgets in controlling, the role of budgets in enhancing executive and legislative branches and the role budgets played in development of administrative efficiency (Shafritz & Hyde, 2012). He also contributed greatly to the development of the Budget Office. It is needless to say that the contemporary budgeting system is based on the works of this thinker. Another influential thinker who had a profound impact on the development of public administration is the German sociologist Max Weber. Weber focused on a variety of aspects of the human society and considered the structure of public administration. The sociologist believed that bureaucracy was an indispensible part of effective government (Cox et al., 2010). Importantly, the thinker considered different states (from the ancient world along with European countries) and revealed major features of bureaucracy. The sociologist also noted that bureaucracies can have a negative impact if they do not develop properly (Shafritz & Hyde, 2012). Weber’s theories had a significant effect on the development of public administration as the sociologist outlined major peculiarities of effective bureaucracy. Apart from Weber, who focused on some particular aspects of public administration, there was another thinker who outlined the major aspects of public administration as a disciple. This thinker was Leonard D. White who provided specific objectives of the discipline. Hence, according to White public administration can be studied at different levels, the core variable of the study is management (not politics), it is both art and science, it is crucial to recognize it as a study which will be vital for the development of the government (Shafritz & Hyde, 2012). Admittedly, these are milestones within the field of public administration. Thus, it is possible to note that White contributed greatly to the process of recognition of public administration as a discipline and outlined the central points within the area. Unlike White, Mary Parker Follett focused on behavior of individuals within the system. She saw government as an organization where relationships between individuals were essential (Shafritz & Hyde, 2012). The researcher was one of the first thinkers to focus on management within public administration. She stressed the importa
Haircuts As-Is process. To be haircuts process. Process models and technology solution Diagram 1 depicts the current process model at Haircuts. As shown in the diagram, the business is losing many customers when they arrive at the premises and find that there is no employee available. Customers leave the premises without being offered shaving or manicure services. However, a better process model would be implemented to solve the problem and would involve the steps highlighted in diagram 2. The to-be process would be used in scheduling and streamlining workflows in the customer/employee business area (Barney, 2012). Technology solution proposal Business process If Haircuts needs to reduce the number of customers lost due to the unavailability of employees or because they do not have appointments, then it has to adopt a process scheduling approach. The model will significantly improve workflow within the organization and improve financial performance. For example, the business process will cater to customers who would arrive at the Haircuts premises without an appointment. The customers would be informed that stand-by employees would be called to offer requested services immediately. They would wait for a short period of time before employees on-call would arrive and provide them with excellent shaving and/or manicure services. The firm will have significant savings on labor costs because it would hire or engage employees based on the number of customer appointments per time. Days that would be characterized by a high level of business activities would involve many workers, while the days with a low level of business activities would have a few employees working. In addition, the owner of the business would schedule customers on specific times of the day when workers would be available. The business process would benefit from a technology application because it would be automated and would schedule workers and customers effectively (Barney, 2012; Ghanbari & Othman, 2012; Hoskisson, Hitt, Ireland & Harrison, 2012). Proposed information technology (IT) solution Prestige scheduler IT solutions would be used to improve communication within the organization. It would involve the sharing of information among the business owner, employees, and customers. This application would allow customers to book appointments with specific workers based on their availability, as displayed by the technology. If a customer would require urgent services, then he or she would alert the system so that a stand-by employee would be contacted. Components of the IT infrastructure  1. Services – the business owner will manage the technology. Both permanent and part-time w
In the military, readiness training permits soldiers to structure their security ecology and anticipate federal power. The army’s readiness concentrates on ballistic missile defense, special operations, cyber defense, and interoperability with related amenities and partner states to prevent or defeat hybrid and projected security threats (Redmond et al., 2015). As a non-commissioned officer (NCO), I am accountable for soldier readiness by inspecting the army, ensuring extensive soldier fitness through the field training exercise (FTX), among other roles. From the FTX mission case reading, the new platoon leader (PL) is not ready for his recent roles, including motivating and influencing the platoon unit to complete the mission fruitfully. Military leaders’ ability to influence soldiers’ dedication and productivity is permitted in the military and civilian society (Vrijkotte et al., 2016). The PL depends on the platoon sergeant (PSG), Newell, who possess adequate capacity about the platoon unit and is willing to guide the respective PL to ensure comprehensive military unit readiness. Influence impacts the readiness of units within various military settings. Positive influence among military leaders such as the new PL enhances and establishes novel associations with supporting firms that help organizational readiness (Nindl et al., 2017). The new PL interacts with the platoon sergeant from the case study. The PSG provides critical information on the platoon unit that assists PL in stimulating the platoon unit readiness. For example, the platoon training publications state that all the current soldiers are on their platoon training and weapon qualification. Newell confirms that the platoon has persistently reached the training standards. This aids the PL to comprehensively prepare the platoon unit to ensure that they achieve the relevant training standards. Therefore, based on the case study and external resources, influence impact unit readiness.
The recent developments in wireless technologies have introduced new means and directions of communication. Million of people all over the world are now engaged in political, economic, cultural, and educational discourses due to the vast expansion of the World Wide Web. Indeed, social media has transformed people’s lifestyles and has introduced a new pattern of social interaction. Just several years ago, people many people did not even suspect of the possibilities that such popular social networks as Facebook and Twitter can provide in terms of communication. Nowadays, Facebook has become one of the largest networks in the world by means of which people can share and exchange views, images, and photos. However, apart from changes to social structures, the social networking systems have managed to go beyond and influence business, education, and politics. With this in mind, social media has a multifaceted impact on the modern society because it affects all spheres of life, including business, culture, politics, education, and economics. Today social media cannot be regarded as a means of spending spare time because it has introduced the biggest shift since the times of the Industrial Revolution. Therefore, the spread of online communication can also be considered a revolutionary shift. Indeed, social networks have altered the traditional image of social communication and have provided new incentives and tools of information exchange. Facebook and Twitter have become essential tools for initiating environmental activities and spreading news and services that can reach thousands of potential activists (Kutsko). As statistics shows, Facebook dominates in Google in terms of weekly traffic in the United States, which proves the fast-growing tendencies in using the social network for other purpose than communication and social interaction (Kutsko). Social media has quickly penetrated the educational field. It has also introduced online learning, which is becoming more popular among international students all over the world. Indeed, Facebook has managed to reach more than 200 million users in less than a year (Kutsko). Therefore, more and more students share their opinions and create online communities to advance their learning and improve performance. The possibility to discuss educational challenges is a beneficial perspective for students. In addition, the research studies conducted by the U.S. Department of Education have discovered that online students outperformed those who are engaged in a traditional learning scheme. Finally, social media has become an integral part of business and marketing activities. Because every credible business premises on ethical and moral values dictated by society, adoption of social networking sites is essen
Introduction Bullying has become a very common behavior in children especially in schools. It basically involves abusive treatment between children which may be verbal harassment or physical assault. Bullying is done on grounds of differences in race, sex or ability of the person in question. Research has shown that there are a variety of reasons which makes certain kids more vulnerable to bullying than others. Initially, it was thought that most bullied children were those with characteristic physical abnormalities. However, it has recently emerged that emotional and social imbalances are the leading characteristics of bullying targets. Despite the fact that such characteristics may differ from child to child, it is the common feature of difference that makes the target children get noticed by the bullies (McIntyre, and Franks, 1996, p. 1). However, such differences do not necessary lead to bullying. This is because the bullies look for that person who responds to their treatment in such a way that they feel powerful over that particular individual. Hence, a child be different in some aspect but be confident enough not to be affected by such treatment from bullies. Passive children are easily picked up by the bullies since they are easy targets to intimidate. Many children especially those in elementary and high schools are bullied due to power differential. The bullies therefore target those that they perceive as being weak although this perception differs from person to person depending on one’s capabilities and physical characteristics. Characteristics for bully targets As discussed above, physical abnormalities are some of the leading reasons why children get bullied either at school or at home. One of the most important factors on physical appearance is body size where some children are fat while others are skinny. Studies have confirmed that obese is one of the most sought characteristics in children by bullies. Such children may not necessarily be obese but a little fat than the rest of the children which makes them different form the rest. Most of these children tend to have reduced self esteem which paves more way for the bullies to treat them in an abusive manner. Such treatment may involve teasing them about being ugly due to overweight or clothes not fitting them so well, among other things. Similarly, very skinny children may get similar intimidation from their bullies. This characteristic may be adequate on its own to result to bullying despite other factors such as social class or race (Carpenter, and Ferguson, 2011, p. 1). In other cases where overweight children are confident of themselves, they turn out to be the bullies especially towards those with small bodies regardless of other factors such as grade in school. Surprisingly, cute children do get bullied too. For instance, a cute and smar
An article titled “Giving Back During National Nurses Week” talks about an initiative that has been put forth by the nurses. It focuses on the selfless want of nurses to give back to the community in any way possible. More specifically, the committee offered nurses to come up with projects that will address issues and matters on how to better the community and treat patients with higher efficiency and quality. The nursing administration also took an active part in generating donations and “…organization’s philanthropic contribution to the community was $15,000 last year, involved 31 projects, and generated more than 600 hours of volunteer time” (Ramos, 2013). Salem Hospital and its staff have been very effective in bettering the treatment of the community by increasing their care and availability of the necessary resources, financial help, and mutual cooperation between the staff and the public. Some of the programs include providing clothes to those in need, toys for children and special first aid kits for quick help to patients who could not afford proper medical supplies. The nurses wanted to make sure that everyone in Oregon received proper treatment outside the hospital and so, they have set up mobile clinics that provide more serious services of attending to the wounds. The nurses’ and clinicians’ kindness went so far, as to offer own money, clothing and other items that are so needed by the homeless and less fortunate. After taking care of necessities, it was established that many individuals needed dental care and so, two vans were put out for this specific purpose (Ramos, 2013). It is an interesting fact that at first, people did not believe the care and warmth that the nurses and clinicians were providing. It is understandable because these people lost all hope but after some time, the public and the medical staff have developed a friendly relationship where it was not only the medical treatment that the public received but it was also a friendly person who cared. This sort of interaction between the staff and patients showed that there are many kindhearted people. The nurses and clinicians were able to experience the needs of the community first hand while the public realized that somebody paid attention to their health and accepted them as human beings. There are other professional and volunteer programs that are constantly developing, improving medical
