Introduction It is imperative to mention that the role of quality is an interesting topic that is frequently discussed by scholars. The demands of customers are always increasing, and their expectations are set incredibly high most of the time. Furthermore, many companies have recognized that the focus on this aspect is vital and may lead to significant profits. Also, it helps to establish long-term relationships with clients, and this is especially true for the healthcare industry. This approach is beneficial for both institutions and patients because trained professionals would have a better understanding of the needs and preferences of a particular individual, and valuable time is not lost for the examination of patient history. It is in the interest of a hospital to ensure that customers are retained, and it can be achieved if the quality is viewed as one of the most important factors. Moreover, it is important to understand that activities that are focused on the promotion of quality must be justified from the economic point of view, and it is necessary to find the right balance. Importance of Quality It is necessary to understand that the health and well-being of patients are of utmost importance, and the information that is gained with the use of assessments may be analyzed to identify ways in which the experience of customers may be improved. Also, it is imperative to mention that Riyadh City is developing at rapid rates and the need for high-quality healthcare is also enormous. A focus on quality may be incredibly important because the country is determined to become a force in the global economy, and it cannot be achieved without a well-developed healthcare system. Also, it is important to understand that patients that are satisfied with the quality of services are willing to pay more, and such an approach would help to build long-term relationships. Moreover, practitioners can share their experiences to develop new techniques. The participation of patients in the process also should not be disregarded, and their opinions and suggestions may be valuable. Also, it is necessary to mention that it has been proven that patients that are satisfied with the level of quality of services are much more likely to recommend an institution to others. This aspect should not be disregarded because the primary goal of private hospitals is to receive profits. Patients are satisfied with the quality of services provided most of the time in the city. However, the issue is that many employees think that transformational leadership needs to be improved because it is currently not as efficient as it should be. Moreover, it is important to understand that job satisfa
Summary Past research in the field off industrial relations revealed that employee voices are best represented by the trade unions. Unfortunately, there is a recent decline in unionism, a fact that has led to the establishment of new nonunion means of employee voice representation by the employers. These channels concentrate on employee voice; however, it has failed to put into consideration employees’ perceptions. This article suggests that the employee perception of voice is divergent between the different ranks of the institution. Additionally, it recommends that trade unions will possibly augment employee perceptions of voice at a wider institutional level. The study involved 2949 employees of a public sector scientific organization in Australia. Contrary to the expectations of the research, it was noted that union membership had a momentous pessimistic impact on employee voice at the institution level (Benson & Michelle 85). This unanticipated result might be attributed to union member’s dissatisfaction with the management and organization process like communication and members’ participation in decision-making processes. Moreover, most union members were discontented with their jobs than nonunion members. However, this was as a result of the unfair selection of employees. The study also revealed that employees, who had higher ambitions as pertains to their employment life, were likely to join the union. This was evident when 63.8% of union members commented that their primary motives for joining a union were to enable them have a say on what affects them. The findings of this study might also be as a result of unions presenting their administration difficulties to the members instead of addressing problems. Thus, members seem not to benefit; instead, they waste time solving other issues (Benson & Michelle 87). Analysis The first author of this article is John Benson a professor in the ‘school of management at the University of South Australia’. His researches are mainly about employment relations and human resource administration. He has published more than a hundred academic journals. In addition, he has published and showcased eight books. The second author is Michelle brown ‘an associate professor of management in the department of management at the University of Melbourne’. She focuses her research on administration of human resource and industrial relations. In addition, she has published four books, over twenty academic journals and various book chapters. The two are experts in human management issues, a fact
Executive Summary The present project involves introducing a service that provides pet sitting for the residents of the local community. In order to succeed, the project will require an elaborate financial strategy and a sophisticated marketing plan. By positioning itself as a service that will improve the lives of owners and their pets, the venture will succeed in the target market and gain the momentum for entering a larger economic environment. Service Description The number of people that love pets and are willing to keep them in their homes is very high, yet the opportunities for having a pet are heavily limited for the majority of urban residents nowadays. Due to the need to provide constant and effective care, especially for young poets, a lot of people that have a job and cannot work remotely are forced to refuse from getting a pet. However, with the newly developed Pet Care service, even people with an especially heavy workload can enjoy the company of their pet. Our service offers pet care of outstanding quality provided by professionals for the specified number of hours. The company in question is a small yet professional venture with people willing to raise the quality of customers’ and their pets’ lives. The team consists of veterinarians, instructors, and other qualified experts that will be capable of addressing the concerns of any owner. Our mission is to provide support to people with pets, and our business model is agency-based. Industry Description The Veterinary Services industry may not be known as publicly well as other areas, yet it has a vast amount of responsibilities for the quality of its products and consistency of its services. Currently, the Veterinary Services industry has been on the rise, reaching the mark of $52,000,000 annually in the U.S. alone, which implies that it is becoming more popular (“Veterinary Services industry in the US – Market research report,” 2019) (see Appendix A). There are several competitors in the market, yet no huge monopoly can be observed since most organizations tend to cater to local markets (Åberg, Fälting, & Forssell, 2016). Given the extent to which people with pets need support and assistance due to time management issues, especially at the early stages of pet ownership, the market seems to be quite lucrative. Technology Plan The technological tools that will be utilized for the implementation of the service include an online application with the support of which the services will be ordered. The application will provide an opportunity to file orders and offer different payment options. Moreover, the application will allow customers to specify the time during which the services will be provided, the type thereof, such as feeding the pet, washing it, or providing healthcare assistance. The described tool is quite basic compared to other similar products, yet it needs to be simplistic to ensure that required services can be requested and provided immediately (Bocken, De Pauw, Bakker, & van der Grinten, 2016). The commercialization of the tech
The following report primarily concerns the analysis of communication in the working environment, as it has always been one of the most challenging spheres in terms of interpersonal communication. Hence, the setting that is going to be examined consists of a team of 10 staff employees and management, as the communication between various employee groups tends to be rather complicated because of different perceptions of the same situation. Indeed, when speaking of both verbal and written interactions between the management and staff, there are a few obstacles needed to be overcome in order to convey the message efficiently. Considering the patterns of communication in the workplace, such barriers as attitude, behavior, poor listening, and emotional disconnect may be outlined. These obstacles are primarily observed in face-to-face communication between the employees. Moreover, if such notions as attitudinal and behavioral barriers frequently happen during communication with the top management, the other barriers take place between the staff employees on a daily basis. In terms of the behavior barriers, female employees deal with the implicit gender stereotyping that disrupts the overall workflow and efficiency. Another detail worth mentioning prior to the analysis is the fact that the current management team tries to address the issues through HR training programs, but the output to the training has not been visible yet:   * Attitudinal barrier is a communication inhibitor caused by a poor level of interaction between employees of different status (e.g., manager-employee relationship pattern) and one’s inability to perceive treatment through the prism of status in the workplace.   * Behavior barrier is a communication inhibitor caused by one’s biased or stereotyped attitude towards others (e.g., implicit gender stigmatization in terms of communication with women) (Rani, 2016).   * Poor listening barrier is a communication inhibitor caused by the receiver’s inability to listen to the speaker carefully and, thus, perceive the message properly (e.g., attention span problems or a lack of desire to stay focused on the message content)   * Emotional disconnect is a communication inhibitor caused by one’s failure to keep personal feelings and emotional state separate from professional interaction with the receiver (e.g., passive aggression towards employees caused by something happening in the speaker’s private life).

Empirically validated treatments are biomedical measures and/or medications that have favored biological treatment of a specific illness. This involves the precise handling of a medical case using treatments that have been discovered to work in the past. Such an approach does not necessarily mean that this specific treatment is the best solution for that particular medical illness. Several criteria have been identified to facilitate confirmation of an empirically validated treatment. One criterion describes that an empirically validated treatment has been proven by at least two superior experiments that show that the treatment is effective. A treatment is deemed to be effective when the results generated by the administration of such procedure are superior over the other treatment or the placebo control. This may be determined through robust statistical analyses. This may be proven by employing a placebo in the experiment or by observing effective treatments in a conventional experiment consisting of amply sample sizes. An empirically validated treatment may also be confirmed through the use of a vast amount of defined studies that show the efficiency of that particular treatment. It is understood that these defined studies followed a competent experimental design and that the particular treatment being tested has been compared to another treatment, just like the placebo controls. Empirically validated treatments are also generally conducted based on a treatment manual. This piece of documentation serves as the guideline for the investigator so that any modifications will be avoided, because any minor or major changes to a certain treatment may cause a different output or experimental result. In addition, this type of treatment provides precise descriptions of the samples that are included in the trial experiment. It is also important that empirically validated treatments are verified by at least two independent research groups that did not conspire to generate similar or exact observational results. The healthcare profession involves the augmentation of a patient’s condition through therapeutic intervention. The shared moment between a healthcare worker and a patient who is unbearably suffering by himself provides guidance for the proper course of action, often resulting in greater patient satisfaction and healing potentialities (Gooden et al., 2001). During this interaction, the healthcare professional establishes his presence by using a human care transaction mind-body-soul with another’s mind-body-soul in a lived moment. Presence has been defined as a relational style within healthcare professional interactions that involves being with, as well as doing with. The core of this interaction is to learn and understand the circumstances of the situation and to direct the course of action to achieve the desired outcome of
This paper is covering the application of the Existential theory of psychoanalysis to the problems that John a patient is suffering from. The paper is focusing on describing the key issues and treatment needs of the patient in relation to the key concepts, processes, techniques, and procedures according to the theory. By doing this, it’s addressing the major issues in psychotherapy, the crisis these problems pose, and the means that a therapist would use to address the problems. Lastly, it accounts for the strengths and weaknesses of working under this theory. (7th Ed. Corey, 2005) In this theory, the proponent has focused on freedom, isolation, death, and meaningless in handling psychological and psychotherapeutic issues. These four views are also summarized in Love’s destroyer that comprises many shared values cross-culturally. This theory is based on the possibility for good and development that is inherent in human existence giving a religious base for this optimistic view and taking into account the challenges that face humans in development. In approaching these four major areas in love’s executioner the balance is achieved by freedom being limited by responsibility, death by human limitation, isolation by the connectedness of people, meaning by meaningless, and emotion by experience. (7th Ed. Corey, 2005) The existential theory seeks to study couples therapy, developmental disorders, and group analysis. In dealing with psychotherapeutic issues, the theory focuses on the fundamental realities of living like the culture, social, political, and ideological context of an individual’s life. These include values and beliefs that seek to make human living purposeful, authentic, and able to live with the limitations and contradictions of the human way of life
Introduction The traditional business dictum “everything that undergoes measurement matters” has been of great application in concerns of ethics and social responsibility. If information and metrics become combined with innovation and intelligibility, ethics and social responsibility on concerns of the community can be rapidly replaced with fact-anchored study and argument. Like Apple Inc., Nike Inc. is a good example of a company that is committed to ethics and social responsibility (Jones and George 212-215). Actually, Nike stated that an independent board of policymaker advisers once affirmed that the volume of data contained in an ethics and social responsibility report of more than 170 pages was very devastating and necessitated being rewritten. Importance of Ethics and Social Responsibility It is commonly believed that ethics and social responsibility can raise a company’s income thus a lot of big companies are aggressively involved in it (Connor par. 2-5). Nevertheless, a number of managers and stakeholders are not conscious of the study concerning this vital topic. The majority of managers and stakeholders consider that ethics and social responsibility can enhance reverence for their companies in the market, and this can lead to increased sales, upheld loyalty of workers, and attracted excellent human resources to the companies. In addition, ethics and social responsibility concentrating on sustainability concerns can reduce costs and boost efficiency. An additional gain for public companies is that insistent ethics and social responsibility operations might assist the companies in building reputation. As evident in the case of Nike Inc., ethics and social responsibility is important to managers and other stakeholders since it demands that partners’ management performances revere the rights of personnel, reduce the influence on the su
What The main case of “Triumvirate of Google” focuses on the ideologies, philosophies, and behaviors of Google’s main three figures, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt. The case shows the distinctions between managerial and leadership responsibilities and the way they are divided in the company. Analyzing leadership and management, it can be said that their differences can go beyond their definitions. In the case, the managerial and the leadership characteristics are joined in the triumvirate formed inside the company. In that regard, a formal distinction between the two concepts clarifies the implementation of both in the case. The general perception of both terms is that management proposes a strict and formal system of relations in the company, while leadership symbolizes unity and the model of behavior of employees’ group. Both leadership and management make valuable contributions to the company (Nelson & Quick, 2009). In this case, it can be seen that all of the figures in the triumvirate share leadership and managerial activities. Who The main participants of the triumvirate are the founders of the company, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, and the company’s CEO and board chairman Eric Schmidt. Larry Page, the president of products, and Sergey Brin, the president of technology, were two Stanford’s Ph.D. students, who met in 1995 (Google, 2009). The mutual search server development named BackRub, expanded into a data center they formed in their room. They found Google in 1998 and after the company went public in 2004, Google shares went to worth more than $80 billion. (Vise & Malseed, 2005) Eric Schmidt was invited to the company in 2001, in order to provide “the organizational and the operational expertise and leadership for Google ” (Nelson & Quick, 2009, p. 432). Previously working in Novell, where managed the strategic planning of the company, and Sun Microsystems where he led Java development department, Schmidt mainly took the managerial role, in which he was a professional, unlike Brin and Page. When It was in 2001 when the triumvirate was formed, and subsequently in 2007, when Schmidt was elected as a chairman, this triumvirate was in its full force. The main turning point can be seen through the transformation of the company from being merely a leader in innovative technologies, into a corporation with a distinct culture, behavior and policies. In that regard, this transformation can be seen through the distinction of the functions between the main figures in the organization. Additionally, the timeline of Google’s achievements with Schmidt on board included several acquisitions, which brought the anger of the business community in the world. Such acquisitions as eBay, and Youtube, as well as entering the market of desktop software, Wi-Fi services, might indicate that the created organizational strategy of the triumvirate does not seem to work outside of the company. How The distinction between the functions of the triumvirate can be seen through the division of the managerial and the leadership activities between their members. Although Brin and Page can be seen as leaders in the company, with Schmidt taking the
Introduction The concept of ethical relativism outlines that ethical principles and actions are relative to social norms. Stated differently, proponents of ethical relativism argue that ethical principles may be “right” or “wrong,” but this judgment is only relative to social norms (Welch 516). The concept of ethical relativism developed from cultural diversity, to mean that there are significant differences between the moral judgments of different people. Indeed, there is a lot of variation regarding the etiquette, moral values, and principles of different cultural groups. Therefore, even though people often disagree about whether an issue is “right” or “wrong,” ethical relativism suggests that nobody should assume that their perception of ethics is correct, or incorrect. Since ethical principles may be “right” or “wrong,” ethical relativism suggests that there should be tolerance among people, even in the face of serious disagreements regarding ethical positions. Since cultures and people disagree, there is no single criterion for evaluating the truthfulness or falseness of an ethical practice. Without an acceptable criterion for evaluating ethical practices, varying views regarding ethical and moral positions prevail. The concept of ethical relativism has been the subject of business ethics for several years, but few scholars have provided a definite direction regarding its validity in business. This paper adopts a simplistic version of the debate and demonstrates that cultural diversity affirms a “relative” interpretation of moral principles and actions. Ethnocentrism Ethnocentrism is a product of the failure to acknowledge that different cultures have unique sets of beliefs and values (Mustafa & Hamid 37). When people do not acknowledge that this diversity exists, they often tend to isolate people that are different from them. Usually, ethnocentric people believe that their beliefs and values are the “right” set of beliefs and values, whereas other people are wrong in believing what they do (Mustafa & Hamid 37). Cultural ethnocentrism normally happens when people impose the beliefs and values of one culture as the superior set of beliefs and values. Cultural ethnocentrism is normally bad for business because it creates divisions within different groups, especially in a multicultural environment. Indeed, when a group of people who share the same beliefs, values, and norms come together and impose the same values on a different group of people, they are likely to cause friction between themselves and the new group. This friction is likely to limit diversity in the organization, thereby also curtailing other advantages of diversity (such as innovation and creativity). Ethnocentrism is therefore a manifestat
