When considering Apple Inc. from the perspective of the distribution of power in the corporation, one can highlight the relevant features inherent in the company. From the standpoint of power as a property of the individual, which Huczynski and Buchanan (2013) describe as a personal set of accumulated sources, the organization in question offers ample opportunities to generate such sources. As Tilley and Ma (2019) argue, Apple has a clear organizational structure in which roles are assigned in accordance with specific powers and responsibilities. The ability to adapt to team activities, be flexible in aspects of management, and other qualities characterize Apple leaders as those aimed at maintaining a dynamic work environment. Some employees have individual authority and responsibility for specific areas of the workflow (Tilley & Ma, 2019). However, in the context of extensive control obligations, personal strength sources are manifested openly, for instance, energy and endurance, which, in many ways, makes the company successful. From the standpoint of power as a property of relationship in Apple, one can pay attention to the history of the corporation and its path of market growth. Huczynski and Buchanan (2013) mention different bases of power, including reward, coercive, legitimate, referent, and expert types. With regard to Apple, referent power is one of its obvious features. This type is associated with charismatic leadership, and according to Kim (2020), the company’s founder, Steve Jobs, clearly reflected this style. The ideas he laid down as the core of the company’s development, particularly the movement towards innovation and the constant strengthening of staff motivation, became the basis of Apple’s development strategy (Kim, 2020). As a result, the corporation has largely managed to gain recognition due to referent power as a development strategy based on the leader’s strong perso
Visual art is a highly prominent feature discovered in the early 17th century. Visual art has played a prominent role in people’s education, mythological issues, historical events, intellectual issues and figurative subjects, becoming the first performance style of art in the world. Narrative stories are the source of most artists in the world, expressing their powerful engine to physical appearance. Apart from painting, some of the narratives designed convey moral judgment while others offer diversions to people. Narrative stories created by individuals, out of experience and empirical literature survey, characterize creativity from various artists. Visual art is antagonistic art that is unacceptable and watched out from all over the world as analyzed by Eduardo and Thackeray. This analysis has grouped art in two ways i.e. practical art and narratives art. The results show that there is a slight difference in various artworks with minimal similarities hence formalizing artwork by defining their color determination and powerful sway. Art has different perceptive directions in people’s lives. Some people like practical artwork and others like narration art from the analysis made by the earliest models. Painting is an example of practical art. Some people like painting because they believe that this artwork values and prot
The scope of issues that modern day businesses deal with stretch further than purely the exchange of goods and services. Tecck Industries recognizes that operating in today’s business climate requires a wider understanding of societal issues way beyond the basics of prudent business management. There are values and ethical considerations to make. There are also legal issues to ponder. In addition, there is an increasingly globalized experience by clients and staff alike. This leads to inevitable clashes between clients, company employees, and other stakeholders in an effort to find a middle place where all the different values can coexist. The moral issues in the current business climate emanate from the values that the different sections of the society hold. In the current moral climate, the key moral issues include; fairness of wages, employee benefits, environmental concerns, sexuality, rights of workers, child labor, and use of sweatshops. Other key issues in the current business climate come from health, safety, and environment. Tecck Industries recognizes that there are laws that govern certain aspects of the ethical, moral, and social issues present in its business environment. While the industry does its best to adhere to these legal requirements, it aims at going further. It achieves this through a stricter ethical code. The goal is to keep ahead of the law in these matters in order to create greater trust within its clientele. This ensures that the industry does not spend valuable time and money on litigation against it from the society and other associates. Tecck Industries considers it unethical to use any processes, systems, or methods that do not respect human rights, or those that harm the environment. The industry is against child labor and does not trade with suppliers who use sweatshops to produce their products. The company also has put in place mechanisms to ensure that none of its production lines develops the characteristics of sweatshops. In particular, the company has ensured that it has a standardized wage structure, that its facilities are free from health and safety threats, that the enforcement of discipline among employees is not arbitrary, and that the employees are free to participate in a workers union. These measures, coupled with an attractive pay structure, makes the company a place that many people wo
Weimar republic in Germany Introduction After the First World War was called off, there were drastic changes were witnessed all over the world. The political, cultural, as well as social setups, were altered into new forms. Among the major political changes observed was the formation and establishment of new territories, countries, states, and republics, and the Weimar republic was one of them (Fulbrook, 1991). According to Fulbrook (1991), the Weimer Republic was born on the ninth day of November, the year nineteen eighteen, in the small city of Weimar, out of social revolutions and military defeat in Germany, which consisted of nineteen federal states. Its composition included members from the German national assembly, among other parties namely the Germany’s Democratic Party, the center party, and Germany’s social democratic party. Friedrich Ebert was the first president elected for the republic. The republic received a lot of support from the coalition of parties, estimated to be around 76.2 percent as opposed to the minority anti-republican parties which accounted for 10.3 percent. The republic’s president was so strong to be perceived as the surrogate of Keiser and so was the republic’s parliamentary system. Germany’s support of the Weimar republic Initially, after its conception, the Weimar republic had maximum support from the government of Germany, even though the republic was experiencing destabilization in the prescribed years of stabilization, i.e. after the First World War was over in November nineteen eighteen. The republics’ political, social, and economic status had not yet achieved stabilization in the wake of the Great War. The aftermath of the war was yet to be overcome in political and economic aspects worldwide, and in particular, in the Weimar republic. Germany’s major liberal parties saw their support for the state decline, and this led to dwindling faith of the common citizens unto the major parties, with many shifting their faith to the weaker self-interest parties such as the independent social democratic party. This only inflated the political woes and destabilization in the republic (Fulbrook, 1991). Stresemann support for the Weimar republic Gustav Stresemann was a liberal German statesman, serving as a chancellor in the years 1878 to 1929, and it’s during his era when the Weimar Republic was formed. Stresemann’s political policies geared towards integrating Europe’s economic status lifted Stresemann to the heights of the most important leaders Germany has ever had. His expulsion from Germany’s Democratic Party was due to his indisputable support for the Weimar republic (Fulbrook, 1991). The year 1923 was known as the year of crises, and it’s during the Ruhr crisis, Stresemann manifested his strengths by strategizing the way forward to see the calling off of the Ruhr resistances. Stresemann’s era saw Germany’s support to the Republic of Weimar, politically as well as economically. This was evidenced
Introduction Youth Justice Conferencing was established by the Australian government and incorporated under the Young Offender’s Act of 1997. The youth conferencing is based on the tenets of providing a viable alternative to court proceedings for young offenders. However, not all criminal offences committed by children are punishable under the young offenders’ act. In an event that a child has committed a crime leading to a person’s death or severe sexual assault are all offences omitted from consideration through the youth conferencing. The main rationale of introducing the youth justice conferencing is to provide for a safe and conducive environment in which both the offender and the victim are given equal opportunity to present facts about the said offence. The Australian justice system has undergone numerous changes over the years to find the best system of representation especially of the minority ethnic youth whose morals have been put into questioning (Muncie & Goldson, 2006, p.96). The criminal justice has also been racialised and the poor criminalized unfairly. With the introduction of youth justice conferencing the Australian government was geared towards removing the above disparities and ensuring justice for all. Youth Justice Conferencing Though no system is completely crime-proof, the idea of the youth justice conferencing tightly embraced by the Australian and New Zealand governments is one that should be adopted by other crime-stricken communities. The trial system under the youth justice system gives ownership of the judicial system to the participants. Just like the welfarist system, youth conferencing understands that children’s crime might be a result of family background. It has been argued more than enough times that most children who engage in criminal activities have been proven to come from broken homes or homes with family problems. Just like the welfarist system, youth conferencing is geared towards addressing and assisting the offender to correct their wrong ways and reintegrate into society. Another feature of youth conferencing is that the punishment accorded to the offender is commensurate to the offence (Juvenile Justice, 2000, par. 3). This was the same case in the justice system whereby the punishment accorded was proportional to the offence. This was contrary to the welfarist system whereby like offences received an exact sente
Introduction Clear Hear Manufacturing seems to be a company that has been in the business of manufacturing for few years given that it is still yet to obtain a stable market share of it clients. This is evidence from the fact that the company has an excess of 70,000 cell phones that are yet to be sold. It also appears to be a relatively small company given that the only employee that we encounter in the case scenario is Lisa Norman who is the production manager; in fact this major decision of approving the ideal production level for the company is delegated to her while it is normally taken up by more senior executives in large companies. Finally the company appears to be guided by best business practices that are well captured and outlined in its three mission statement, which we find Lisa Norman contemplating in this case scenario. Fixed and Variable Cost In principal fixed cost are expenses that are not influenced or affected by the scale of services or goods that a company undertakes such as rent, utilities and employee salaries (Gelles and Douglas, 1996). Variable costs on the other hand are company expenses that vary with change in scale of company operations such as overtime employee allowances and transport costs among others (Gelles and Douglas, 1996). Variable costs are therefore considered to be expenses that are incurred during product manufacturing or during sales of services or goods; in this case it will be the costs that are associated with the increased production level of the Alpha model phones that Lisa is considering to produce. However for simplicity purposes variable costs are taken to be all types of expenses that tend to fluctuate with levels of business operations, this way it is much easier to separate fixed cost from variable costs. According to financial principles, what is needed to be done to lower the cost of production in this case is to significantly reduce the variable cost while effectively utilizing the fixed cost that the company must meet. This concept is well captured by the Minimum Efficient Scale (MES) which is most suitable for determining the ideal production level of a company at which production is most cost efficient. Minimum Efficient Scale Minimum Efficient Scale (MES) is a concept primarily used in industrial organization to describe a point in production whereby a manufacturing plant produces the least amount of units that are able to minimize the Long Run Average Costs (LRAC) of the plant (MacAuliffe, 2004). It is the point where minimum efficient scale of a plant is attained since the least production of units at the lowest opportunity cost is attained, below this point a plant is not able to produce goods and meet the long run average costs of the plant. It is usually indicated as the first point of the LRAC curve when the variables of production and costs are graphically represented. The minimum efficient scale concept is also used to determine the point at which the maximum effectiveness of the plant is attained (McConnell, Brue and Flynn, 2009). Ideally since the minimum efficient
The fact that an environmental analysis and environmental laws are closely interconnected can hardly be doubted. The relevant phenomenon might be explained by the fact that any regulation that the government implements requires a valid scientific base. On the other hand, a reversed connection is also present in these relations. Thus, the necessity of carrying out an environmental analysis can be imposed by a particular law. Therefore, the question arises to what extent these aspects impact one another. First, and foremost, it is essential to note that in many cases, environmental analysis serves to be the starting point for the implementation of an environmental law or act. Thus, for example, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) implemented in 1971 in Washington was preceded by a long-term and profound environmental analysis. As long as the Act announces a common right for a healthy environment, it necessarily provides some clarification on what this environment is supposed to include (Braddock, 2015). The characteristics assigned to the healthy environment were summarized in accordance with the initial analysis of the state of the local nature. Therefore, in this case, the environmental analysis is an integral part of the implemented act as the former provided the relevant framework for the latter. Moreover, the fact that environmental laws impose particular costs on the national budget is evident. Therefore, before implementing such a law, one needs to assure its cost-effectivenes
Introduction The speaker was Alfonso Gonzalez. He is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Lehman College of the City University of New York. He was launching at book tour for “Reform without Justice: Latino Migrant Politics and the Homeland Security State”, on December 4, 2013 at a small independent bookstore in Manhattan called Bluestockings. The purpose of the event was to sell books, to inform the audience about migrant issues, to persuade the audience that these issues are very important, and to advocate for constructive change with leaders and legislators. (Gonzalez) Reform without Justice Dr. Gonzalez framed his speech as covering the period between 2001 and 2012. During this deportations have increased greatly, as well as policing by Homeland Security and other forces, asylum efforts, detention of migrants, and deportation of families, all of which he characterized as state violence. He also characterized this period as a time when the Latino migrant movement and its allies have successfully mobilized, demonstrated, and organized politically. He said that he hoped to help people understand why and how both these trends occurred in the same time period. (Gonzalez) He began by reviewing the literature of the Latino migrant issue, and Latino politics literature. He asserted that there were missing pieces and perspectives. For example, he felt that there was not work don’t on how these fields and others do not address all the important relationships between the state, and civil society, and neo-liberalism, the appearance of Latino elected officials, and organizing. (Gonzalez) In conclusion, Gonzalez called for Latino electoral power, but cautions that it is does not automatically equal social transformation or social justice. He called on leaders to talk with elected officials, but to stay independent of political parties. He expressed optimism for the future of Latino activism as an effort that will improve democracy for everyone. (Gonzalez) He then explained how he tried to fill in the gaps. He mentioned critical ethnography as a tool that he used. He described how he interviewed 60 Latino leaders on both coasts and in Mexico. (Gonzalez) He also described a phenomenon he called anti-migrant hegemony. He asserted that it was created through the criminalization of migrants and immigrants. This, he said, was bad for democracy as a whole. (Gonzalez) He listed and described the intellectual forces that supported what he called the anti-migrant hegemony, as well as celebrities that support this as well. These, he sugges
Cinema could be described as a powerful tool that helps moviemakers and directors to convey a certain message and make the audience think about a certain issue or phenomena. The popularity of this kind of art results in its increased power and ability to impact the public opinion by demonstrating a certain event from a specific perspective and using numerous techniques. For instance, self-reflection is known to be one of them. A film of this sort entails the usage of specific editing to impact the audiences intellectual perception of the movie and call attention to a certain scene in a reflexive manner. Very often individuals notice another perspective related to the issue under the impact of this approach. Quentin Tarantino is known to be a master of such films as very often they are characterized by the unique structure. For instance, his Inglorious Bastards are edited in the way that emphasizes its being a constructed medium and subjectivity of the plot and filmmakers. The given approach is rather complex; however, at the same time, it results in the appearance of several layers of understanding. Having realized the fact that the history might have some alternative ending, the audience starts to analyze it in a different way. From the very beginning, viewers are sure that some episode from the WWII is shown. Thus, scenes in which the Bear Jew kills Hitler and Landa makes a deal with the team subvert audience expectations. Tarantino demonstrates an alternative ending, and a viewer realizes the fact that periodic segments of the movie serve as the prolog to the final third episode with the alternative ending and pact with Landa. This could be taken as the perfect example of using self-reflection to attract the attention and make people reconsider their attitude to the movie and events described there. As stated above, the story is broken into several chapters that follow each other and provide a logical narration. However, at the end of the movie, we could observe the radical alteration of the film history and not expected scenes come. It helps Tarantino to construct his own unique narrative characterized by the unusual development. Finally, Inglorious Bastards contains some comic moments that are created with the help of specific setting and sounds. The tensest scenes like the fight in the hotel are supported by the original soundtrack that contributes to the creation of a specific atmosphere and a certain comic effect. For this reason, the sound is another powerful tool used by Tarantino to achieve a certain effect and make the audience feel it.
Summarize the main mortality indicators listed in this website Total Population The total population of a country is the summation of all individuals living in a certain particular geographical area. In this case, the total population of people living in UAE is 9,157,000 (Magyarország, 2003). This number represents the average population after estimating the population of both the death rate as well as birth rates. Gross National Income Per Capita The evaluation of the value of the country depends on the average income of every person in the nation. As such, Gross national income per capita is a tool that shows the total value of the nation in terms of dollar. The GNI per capita of United Arabs Emirates is $ 2012 (Felbermayr, Hiller & Sala, 2008). This represents the average income of every citizen in the country. Determination of Gross national income per capita is important to ascertain the level of income in the country and compare its value with the other nations. An economy performs fairly when GNI per capita is high. Life Expectancy at Birth m/f (years, 2015) Many people tend to estimate the number of years that they are likely to live after their birth. Life Expectancy at birth is the average that babies can live in the environment after birth (Koontz & Hallman, 2004). It give the people the estimates age that people are likely to die. For instance, for the case of UAE, Life Expectancy at birth in 2025 is 76/79. Probability of Dying under Five (per 1000 live births, 0) The probability of dying under five gives the number of people that can die before reaching five years. It calculates the number of deaths of children below five years in a group of 1000 people. From the statistics, it is apparent that there is no probability of dying under five in UAE. Probability of Dying between 15 And 60 Years m/f (per 1000 population, 2013) The probability of dying between 15 and 60 years represents the number of deaths of people with ages between 15 and 60 years (Anson & Luy, 2014). This statistics also represent the death rate of youths in the country. In 2013, the probability of dying at ages between 15 and 60 years is 84/59. Total Expenditure on Health Per Capita (Intil $, 2014) This fraction of national per capita takes care of health of individuals in the country. It represents the amount of income that people
