Selecting the global crisis team members requires taking into account a wide range of factors which have a significant impact on the outcome of the team’s work, and the members’ competence, professional experience, style of thinking and negotiating along with preparedness for effective cooperation with the rest of the team are only some of them. Considering their competence and working experience, Christopher Van Hollen, recognized as a skillful and experienced legislator and Jeffrey Pfeffer, a world-renowned Management and HR scholar, are good candidates for becoming members of the global crisis team. The competence of Christopher Van Hollen in the sphere of legislature and his research in the sphere of the current economical crisis could be significant for the success of the whole team. He has been holding a position of the US congressman since 2002 and before his election to the Congress he had been working at Maryland General Assembly for 12 years. Within the recent years, he has been working on the project for making the administration more accountable (The local delegation: Rep. Chris Van Hollen). These attempts to regulate the actions of the upper echelon of the state power prove that Van Hollen is adherent to his principles and is not afraid of sacrificing the interpersonal relationships with his colleagues to the common good. It would be helpful for reducing the risk of the failure of the group which is defined as group thinking. Levi (2010) noted that “Groupthink occurs when group members’ desire to maintain good relations becomes more important than reaching a good decision” (p. 155). Van Hollen’s devotion to his principles would motivate the rest of the team to concentrate on the outcome of their work. At the same time, it is significant that Van Hollen is experienced in the sphere of legislature and will be able to point at the opportunities to apply the recognized principles to the current legislature and fill this gap in the competence of the team because the legislative knowledge was missing in the team’s expertise. Jeffrey Pfeffer is a world-renowned Management scholar and another candidate for becoming a member of the global crisis team whose achievements in the spheres of HR and Leadership would be beneficial for the effective cooperation of the members of the crisis team. Pfeffer is the author of the popular book Power: Why some people have it and others don’t in which he admitted that “Building and using power are useful organizational skills” (Pfeffer, 2010, p. 5). Thus, considering the fact that the human factor is significant for overcoming the crisis, his contribution would be valuable for developing the strategies for handling the problem, on the one hand, and for creating the favorable conditions for the effective work of the team, on the other hand. Duarte and Snyder (2006) noted that “Trust requires leadership to set and maintain values, boundaries and consistency” (p. 85). Pfeffer’s knowledge of leadership and management principles would helpful for enhancing the effectiveness of the teams’ cooperation and would have a positive im
Just like the McDonald’s, two Emirati brothers came up with a similar idea and established a restaurant in Dubai which started operating in 2009 though their intentions were long thought. Though they had the idea for a long time, the initials costs of setting up the business was a challenge and they had to take time to plan themselves. They set a business by the name ‘Wild Peeta’ that concentrates in making sandwiches of Shawarma depending on a customer’s requirement using different types of sauces and Peeta bread apart from making salads and desserts. Wild Peeta restaurant has expanded throughout the UAE as it successfully targets the retail market offering Shawras and other foods in their menu. According to Duening (2009), entrepreneurship revolves around management of businesses or companies in a manner that is slightly different from traditional forms of management. Comparing the two approaches of management there are clear differences between traditional and entrepreneurial management and they include the following: traditional managers were closely monitoring the work of the juniors by assessing the effectiveness of the inputs, time members of staff are working, raw materials and financial budget while an entrepreneurial manager focuses on main concerns in the firm and use of the best talents and expertise. This is due to the fact that modern markets are considering a wide variety of products and services. In traditionally managed firms, the manager delegates’ duties and responsibilities in a bureaucratic manner and all employees know their fixed roles. Reynolds (2007) argued that this is not the case in an entrepreneurial firm because the duty of the manager is selection of individuals and teams with respect to talent and creativity so as to provide innovative solutions to the market. In a traditionally managed company, managers discuss and come up with ideas on how the company should run while entrepreneurial management, mangers act as facilitators and employees give propositions about external stakeholders, equipments to be used and systems to be used. In a traditional firm, much effort was done to train managers to be leaders in the firm while entrepreneurial management advocates distribution of leadership in the entire workforce (Schumpeter, J. 2006). Furthermore, managers in a traditional organization had the duty of planning, but the main focus of an entrepreneurial manager is to come up with strategies that exploit market dynamics. The two owners of the restaurant have portrayed entrepreneurial management skills as revealed by their involvement in the business sometimes doing the work of employees and serving customers as they inquire improvements that can be added to t
Digitalization is an integral part of the modern world, and health care is no exception. In fact, it heralds a new age in the delivery of medical care, and one of the most important places in this regard belongs to online education. eHealth, or electronic health, is broadly defined by the World Health Organization as “the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for health” with the aim of improving the health care framework (World Health Organization 2019). In other words, this is an umbrella term, which covers the ways of effective use and implementation of ICT in the context of delivering medical care to the population. Consequently, the concept of eHealth education implies the training setting, designed to provide opportunities for health care specialists to enhance their digital competencies and performance. In particular, eHealth education is of paramount importance for continuous training of health care workers in order to be able to tackle the professional challenges of the 21st century. In recent years, costs for the delivery of medical care have increased dramatically. According to the World Health Organization, about 40% of all health costs are wasted due to inefficient use and inappropriate allocation (World Health Organization 2019). In fact, scholars have estimated a global medical staff shortage of as much as 18 million by 2030 (Car et al. 2019, e12913). This tendency is highly alarming since it jeopardizes “the achievement of universal health coverage” (Car et al. 2019, e12913), that is, equal access to high-quality health services for everyone. Currently, the systems of health care worldwide face a range of unresolved issues. These include the high cost of education, demographic shifts, and time shortage to follow the newest advances in health care technologies. Moreover, there are persistent inequalities in health and life expectancy both between and within states, as well as increased numbers of aging and obese population (World Health Organization 2019). In this context, eHealth is considered as one of the potential ways to address these urgent issues. Likewise, medical education all over the world faces a wide range of challenges, including rigid medical curricula and the need for a more collaborative and patient-centered focus. In particular, ongoing medical training needs a continuous review and upgrading. This will equip health professionals with skills and competencies that are essential in the modern, fast-paced world and render them competitive in the employment market. Continuing professional development is a crucial constituent of any health care career since medical science and clinical practice are constantly changing and updating fields of knowledge. Therefore, it is highly important for physicians to undertake training lifelong in order to maintain and develop their professional competencies and
Nursing nomenclature The quality of care in today’s complex healthcare settings depends on the availability and accuracy of patient information (McCormick et al., 2015). As such, it is important to consider the role of formal nursing nomenclature and its relationship to data concepts. Planning and documenting nursing care is a challenging process since the accuracy of information is essential for proper medical care. Before formal nursing nomenclatures were established, a variety of different terms could be used by various medical facilities to describe the same type of care (Rutherford, 2008). Nursing nomenclatures were introduced to establish a formal system of medical terms. Therefore, standardized terms used in planning and documenting nursing care allowed providers to reduce confusion introduced by various terminology and, therefore, improve the quality of care. Terms used in planning and documenting nursing care are directly connected with such data concepts, as data elements, data requirements, and data set. Nursing nomenclature provides an identifying name and specified value types to valid medical terms, which act as data elements. Data elements, or medical terms, are included in a larger framework called data set, or nursing nomenclature. Nursing nom
What is the main argument of the video? The main argument of the documentary Untold History of the US. Episode 3 (directed by Oliver Stone) is that the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the US should be referred to for what it was – one of the most despicable crimes against humanity, committed during the WW3. To substantiate the validity of this idea, the director refers to several historically proven actualities. The main of them is concerned with the fact that there was no military necessity in bombing both cities. Summarize the video from start to finish Even though Untold History of the US. Episode 3 does not feature any structural sub-chaptering; there is much discursive integrity to how the off-screen narrator goes about substantiating the soundness of the promoted ideas logically. In its turn, this can be explained by the fact that the director had made a deliberate point in exposing the nuclear bombing of both Japanese cities, as such that has been predetermined dialectically. This explains the strongly defined analytical essence of the film’s argumentative logic, and the sub-sequential order of the narrator’s discursively unconventional claims, upon which this logic is based. As viewers watch the film, they get to find out the following:  1. President Truman was an ardent racist, who considered it thoroughly appropriate to refer to the Japanese as ‘yellow monkeys’ in public. The same used to be the case with most members of his Administration (except Stimson and Wallace), who was involved in deciding to drop nuclear bombs on Japan. This created the objective preconditions for the concerned individuals not to bother assessing the would-be consequences of such their decision from a moral perspective.  2. During the WW2, the Allies (Anglo-American) never had any reservations against killing civilians en masse , whatsoever. To support the legitimacy of his suggestion, the narrator refers to the Anglo-American bombing of Dresden on February 13, 1945, which resulted in 150.000 German civilians having been burned alive. To kill as many women and children, as possible, was the main objective of the nuclear bombing of Japan, as well.  3. Truman’s insinuation that the bombing-induced incineration of close to 250.000 civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki has helped ‘saving millions of American lives’, is blatantly fallacious. After all, as it was shown in the documentary, in the aftermath of both bombings, the Japanese remained unaware that they have been attacked with nuclear weapons. It was namely the USSR’s entrance into the war and the US Government’s promise not to hang Japanese Emperor Hirohito, which compelled the Japanese to capitulate. The documentary ends with the narrator claiming that most Americans possess a distorted view of their country’s history. Does the video give time to opposing viewpoints? If so, are opposing viewpoints treated in an equal manner? Why or why not? Untold History of the US. Episode 3 does acknowledge that there are opposing viewpoints on the subject matter in question. However, the film exposes them as such that does not hold any water, whatsoeve
The Google Corporation has been enjoying extreme benefits for many years in China, owing to the Country’s large population and popularity. This Google case study has seen many human right activists crying out because of the foul play by the government, which had set up regulations that would limit the functionality of Google as a corporation in China. The government of China wanted all the companies, which deal with Information transfer to abide by the set rules without deviating. The main reason for the government’s cyber space control was that Google threatened to pull out its services from China. Google claimed that the Chinese government launched the cyber attacks in order to preview emails of the human rights activists with the purpose of ensuring its safety and enforcing more security. The main aim of the Chinese government was to filter out some internet content posted by Google, for maintaining strong possession of power and ensure that there were no threats from the outside world. This was a way of ensuring secrecy to the state policies. Google was the main target although the cyber space control affected other corporations like Yahoo and Adobe. When Google launched its search engine in 2006, it agreed to abide by the Chinese government’s terms and conditions to censor “Google.cn”. By doing so, Google facilitated the increase of the cyber space attack by allowing the rule that supports agonizing of human rights by the government. Google clients in China claimed that the corporation overturned its policy of “Don’t be Evil”, when it went to China and agreed on a censorship in 2006. Most of Google clients in China were stressful since Google prepared to leave china in protest of the attacks, while it initially agreed to initiate itself on the Censorship without involving the client. Initially Google was not concern about violation of clients’ rights by the government because of its business-establishment goals, but eventually after the attack, the situation affects the users. Google executives Larry Page and Sergey Bin had a difficult decision to make, whether to leave China or change their terms with the Chinese government, a process that would have seen them being fined. By breaking the contract bearing the terms of service that leads to internal security risks, the matter would then require legal solutions. The necessary rampage would include breaking Chinas network supply that monitors and limits information. This was the only right action as a fight for human rights of expressions. On the other hand, Google’s rival, Baidu, was spying on their progress for their hypocritical financial success. Market research companies reported that Googl
The Rationale for Choosing Banking Entrepreneurship has become a characteristic feature of the modern world. Entrepreneurship is a mix of Innovation, passion, planning, vision, hard work, wisdom, and taking risks (Bessant & Tidd, 2011). Such spheres as technology have become a perfect platform for entrepreneurial effort. Google and Facebook, as well as numerous successful companies, can be regarded as examples of successful business entrepreneurship (Bolton & Thompson 2013). However, Bolton and Thompson (2013) note that banking is regarded as one of the industries where entrepreneurship is quite uncommon and undesirable. The major reason is the opposing core principles as banking is associated with safety and stability, while entrepreneurship implies Innovation and risk-taking. However, entrepreneurship is also associated with advances and the development of new ways that transform industries and the entire society. For instance, Facebook and similar networks have transformed the idea of connectedness and helped people explore new platforms of communication (Johnson, Whittington & Scholes 2011). Banking could also benefit from the development of various entrepreneurial projects that could bring more flexibility, more comprehensiveness, and more user-friendliness. Interestingly, entrepreneurial companies are emerging in this sector, as well. It is possible to consider one such company in banking to understand some opportunities and challenges of entrepreneurship in this sector. Analysis of the Chosen Company Background One of the examples of entrepreneurial companies in the banking industry is Monzo Bank Limited. The company was established in 2015 and received a U.K. banking license with some restrictions in 2016 (Monzo 2017c). It was incorporated in 2015 (Company Check, 2017). Tom Blomfield and seven more people worked on the start-up and are now the company’s directors. Initially, the company was called Mondo, and it had 30 clients within five weeks after its establishment (Treanor 2015). The company’s founders came from Starling, a digital bank. In 2016, the company had to change its name to Monzo, as they already exist a company called Mondo (Hern 2016). Tom Blomfield stresses that banking is still an industry where traditions, conventions, and personal contacts are essential. However, the entrepreneur also states that their bank is “for people who get frustrated if they have to wait more than two seconds for things to get done… for people who live their lives on their iPhones” (as cited in Treanor 2015, para. 6). At present, the company employs 80 people and has approximately 50,000 cardholders. Monzo’s total current assets are over £730 thousand, and its net worth is £567.7 thousand (Company Check 2017). In April 2017, it received a ful
Economic globalization is an inevitable process due to many reasons, but many people argue that it has a detrimental effect on the development of many countries or even the entire world. Nevertheless, globalization positively influences the evolution of human society at large, although some adverse effects are apparent (Wade, 2004). First, it is essential to understand the benefits of economic globalization to embrace it rather than try to oppose it. Undoubtedly, economic globalization enables people to trade more efficiently and effectively as they have access to diverse resources and markets. An entrepreneur in every part of the world can offer products and services to people from other continents with the help of technology. The abundance of ideas contributes to the creation of new products making people’s lives more comfortable (Sen, 2012). Individuals, companies, and countries can collaborate to conduct complex projects. However, such aspects as inequality are often raised in relation to economic globalization. It is argued that globalization is a manifestation of western imperialism as rich countries exploit the resources of developing countries (Sen, 2012). As a result, the opponents of globalization argue poor countries become even poorer. However, it is found that globalization is not directly linked to poverty and equality (Wade, 2004). Poor countries’ governments’ inability to cope with corruption and the lack of flexibility to adapt to new technological and cultural realms leads to inequality. Moreover, Sen (2012) stresses that emerging countries can and will also benefit from economic globalization if specific measures are undertaken. Thus, technologically advanced countries must be responsible in terms of using resources (supplied by developing countries), and developing countries must be committed to change and social stability within their boundaries (eliminating corruption and other issues). All in all, globalization can make all societies better and even contribute to the decrease in inequality globally.
Introduction My report contains information about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), the country’s political and economic indicators, as well as interaction with China. Also, significant conflicts and foreign policy are analyzed to obtain a comprehensive picture. To compile a report, the basic facts about China and the USSR are taken as a basis, and in accordance with the data presented, the development prospects will be considered. The Economic Development of the USSR in the Postwar Years After the end of World War II, the USSR acquired the status of one of the leading world powers and led a specific world block promoting the ideas of socialism. In the social life of the country, there was an emotional upheaval associated with the victory in the war. At the same time, the totalitarian system continued to strengthen, and the main task of the postwar period was the restoration of the destroyed economy. Joseph Stalin, who was the leader of the USSR, refused to borrow loans after the war, seeking to revive the country with the help of internal resources. The policy of demilitarizing the economy and modernizing the military-industrial complex has become key. The heavy industry was declared the priority area, and such spheres as engineering, metallurgy, and the fuel and energy complex were primarily supported. By 1948, production reached the pre-war level due to a number of factors. In particular, they were the increased labor of the Soviet people and the free work of the Gulag’s prisoners. Also, such activities deserve attention as the redistribution of funds in favor of heavy industry, the transfer of money from the agricultural sector, the raising of funds from Germany’s reparations, and tough economic planning. It is worth noting that in 1945, the gross agricultural output of the USSR was 60% of the pre-war level, and the government tried to bring this industry out of the crisis by punitive measures. The policy of repression strengthened, and the massive persecution of those who disagreed with the state work plan was supported. Nevertheless, numerous reforms were ineffective, and only by the 50-s, the country had managed to reach the pre-war level of agricultural production. After the death of Stalin in 1953, the policy of the new leader, Khrushchev, became more loyal to the population and the course towards the development of socialism. However, the country’s foreign policy was quite aggressive, which ultimately led to a significant division of opinions between the two leading blocs – the communist and capitalist. Strengthening the country’s economy made it possible to achieve a number of benefits, in particular, addressing the issue of pensions and
