Introduction to Change/innovation of Facebook Facebook should devise new strategies to meet the changing demands among the clients. Innovation is a fundamental process because it enhances profitability within online corporations. Over the years, the company has been relying solely on revenues from basic advertisements and campaigns that promote different organizational processes. This signifies that the Facebook is popular among populations that do not contribute to its financial growth. Furthermore, the corporations’ administrators have limited revenue because majority of their clients lack resources (Baloun, 2007). The company can reinstate its position in the market through invention and innovation. These changes will aid the company capitalize on profitability. Consequently, it is necessary to highlight the changes that will increase the profitability of facebook. Change/innovation strategies Facebook should introduce new features that will enable the site to maximize profitability (Vander, 2008). It is important for the company to rebrand to tap on the unexploited potential of the market. For instance, the organization should ensure that Facebook’s “time-line” meets the needs of users without compromising their privacy. This is critical for the success of the company. Additionally, facebook should introduce fees to people who intend to use the social networking site in streaming videos online. The administrators of facebook should capitalize on technological innovations such as streaming music online. This can be a source of revenue for the site. The administrators should introduce features that will allow customers to customize their sites on facebook (Carter & Levy, 2011). A subscription fee should be introduced for people who have already created profiles in the site. The fee will equally apply to those intending to join facebook. Moreover, the administrators of Facebook should lobby for a reduction on the charges levied to the company by organizations that monitor online trade (Baloun, 2007). Charges are crucial when creating groups for people with common interests. Membership should be open to all members of the public as long as they are capable of paying a subscription fee. Besides, punitive measures should be introduced to subscribers of the site who violate the rules and regulations when using Facebook. Formulating programs that recompense loyalty based on membership on Facebook will also lead to rewards. The corporation can maximize its profitability by levying charges on features
Problem identification Development of models that helps solve important issues depends on a company’s desires to tackle its problems in a scientific approach . This will need sound mechanical orientations to attempt and unravel such mysteries, once identified institution of appropriate measures becomes long overdue, In this context the company does adventure to provide basic military, police, and life skill education. Although there is no utilization of high stake testing, the company’s main issue lies with the students’ ability to choose either military or police profession. The company lacks a proper method that engages students in designing learning affairs to cater for their interests. This is partly because the company fail to provide a successful approach to recruiting future military and police candidates. Notably, these organizational issues arise from setting priorities, governance, and effective dialogue in the firm (Hoy & Hoy, 2009). Capacity building is a crucial consideration of the organizational development ; in this respect it is paramount for the company to institute an internal mechanism that helps solve such complexions (Fred & Allan, 2011). Research theories related to the problem Professional training takes into account several fundamentals that help those concerned to grasp vital ideas useful to career and life skill. Most institutions would only base their interest in imparting knowledge without having a critical consideration of issues that matters to their clients (Ubels et al., 2010). In this perspective, engaging students in their training affairs to cater for their special needs is a basic requirement for such institutions. But most importantly, programs must not be new to them. Introduction of programs at earlier stages of life helps these people identify their interest at an earlier stage of life. They would therefore, prepare their mind and thoughts to embark in a specific career choice with many expectations. Research shows that students’ professional skill development depends largely on amount of time taken to help sharpen their educational needs (Ubels et al., 2010). This is true because innovation and other life skill take a longer duration to come out, progressive monitoring is therefore, important to achieve tangible results. Assessment based on acquired life skill other than theoretical grasping of knowledge is more appropriate than testing one’s capability to remember theories learnt in a classroom session. This will help students apply knowledge in a real life situation. This does not go well with most institution interested in minting money at the expense of their students (Fred & Allan, 2011). Designing learning affairs that rhymes with the community’s needs is also paramount in validating the entire system. Education should be problem oriented, that is why special attention of students’ learning affairs is worth considering. This will help professionals become well equipped with important life skills that even
Living in the XXI century means being ready to the most drastic changes within the social, economical of financial sphere within the shortest amounts of time. However, it is important to realize that the change in media also allows for more opportunities for economical, social and cultural development. A fresh look at the changes that media triggers will help define its purpose and possibly define the pattern of future changes that new media will trigger in society. To embrace the significance of the problem, it is necessary to define such phenomena as change, media, culture and society. While change is a relatively easy concept that presupposes certain progress/regress, i.e., improvements or, on the contrary, deterioration, media is a more complex issue to define. Typically considered a means to convey certain piece of information, media comes in large varieties, starting from print media, e.g., newspapers and magazines, up to online media, e.g., YouTube channels (visual media) or social networks, such as Facebook. As for culture, it can be defined as the ways in which the people of a specific nation envision the world around them. Finally, society is a group of people who are related to each other in some aspect (e.g., social, economical, political, or all of the above-mentioned) and form an entity. With that in mind, the impact of media on society becomes more obvious. A change in media, which practically means establishing a new and more progressive way of delivering certain information from one member of the society to another one, triggers a social change. Every member of society starts treating information as something extremely accessible and, therefore, tends to consume information in large portions. Hence, media, culture, society and technology spur each other; as long as there are new technological inventions, there will be new forms of media, which will enhance the consumption of information and, thus, change the society gradually. Thus, the assemblage of culture, society, information and technology is formed. It is also important to differentiate between technology, technique and technical systems. While technique is a manner in which the technological advances progress, technology is the sum of progressive knowledge concerning certain technical aspects, e.g., machinery, information, etc., and the ability to apply this knowledge to practice. In their turn, technical systems represent the sum of the existing technologies. No matter how sweet and enthralling the word “progress” might sound, a new step forward brings certain threats closer. For instance, in the present-day world with its technological advances, it can be expected that new forms of media will make people plunge into the joys of virtual reality forgetting about real life. Supported by a number of theories, such as the ones developed by William Bogard, Bruno Latour and Brian Massumi, the idea of introducing media as a part and parcel of virtual reality is becoming increasingly more popular ( Foundations. Thinkers and ideas ). Therefore, it is clear that me
Presentation Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a non-congenital and non-generative condition, which may result from a wide range of injuries occurring when the brain is affected by an external mechanical force (a jolt or a blow to the head or an object penetrating the skull). It may result in temporary or permanent dysfunction of the brain (impairing physical, cognitive, and psychological functions of the patient), bleeding, tom tissues, bruising, or other complications, some of which might lead to death (Algattas & Huang, 2013). Due to the number of causes and inclusion criteria, the definition of TBI is often inconsistent and problematic. Post-concussive syndrome (PCS) may appear as a result of a mild traumatic brain injury or concussion and has a number of lingering symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, headache, etc. It may be referred to as a mild type of TBI, which makes the conditions similar in symptoms. However, the key difference is that it is not life-threatening even despite the fact that its consequences can be rather long-lasting and serious (Boyd, 2014). Both conditions imply a change in the normal brain function; yet, the degree of this change is different. Pathophysiology There are two key mechanisms of TBI: focal (laceration, contusion, hemorrhage) and diffuse (brain swelling) damage to the brain. The type determines the outcome of the injury for the patient. The primary impact of TBI is produced at the moment of contact with an external mechanic force while the secondary impact covers subsequent, delayed pathological processes including but not limited to intracranial hypertension and cerebral ischemia. At the first stage of its development, the condition may be characterized by evident tissue damage as well as distorted metabolism and CBF regulation, which makes it similar to ischemia. Increased membrane permeability, anaerobic glycolysis, and formation of edema make lactic acid accumulate in the body (Algattas & Huang, 2013). Due to this, anaerobic metabolism dysfunction occurs as it is no longer able to regulate and maintain energy in the cells. As a result, the energy-dependent membrane fails, and the stores of ATP deplete. At the second stage, the terminal m
Company Background Unilever is among the leading home care, personal care, as well as food product producing and supplying firms in the world today. It has two parent firms; Unilever PLC and NV. Unilever NV is a Dutch registered company whilst Unilever PLC is registered in Wales and England. Along with their relevant group firms, both Unilever PLC and Unilever NV run effectively as a sole fiscal entity (Global Data 1). The products of Unilever group are currently offered in more than 170 nations of the world. What’s more, the firm takes pleasure in leading international positions in 7 dissimilar categories. Unilever runs in 4 different business segments, which are dressings and spreads, personal care, home care and beverages and ice cream plus others. The firm as well encompasses sturdy concentration on research and development which assists it introduces new products to the market, thereby safeguarding its leadership position. In addition, products emanating from Unilever Group are supplied via distribution centers, satellite warehouses, storage depots, co-operatives, wholesalers, group-operated facilities, independent grocery stores, including a number of food service suppliers (Global Data 3). This paper discusses the financial and TOWS matrix analyses of Unilever Group. Also, it sheds light of the competitive and generic strategies employed by this global leading firm in home care, personal care and other products. Financial Analysis Financial strength of any enterprise strongly depends on a number of metrics including sales revenue, profits, stock market share price and other key variable like financial ratios. Unilever PLC is a multinational company with operations across the globe. With this wide operational network, it is expected that the company has capacity to develop huge financial resources, competences and operational leverage. Fig. 1.1 Unilever PLC three year Annual Revenue and Profit Unilever PLC has financially performed considerably well over the years. However the profits have slightly declined over the last three years, majorly due to the global economic recession. The company reported annual revenue of USD 54,472 millions in the year 2007, USD53, 594 in 2008 and USD 52, 668 in 2009. On the other hand company net earnings increased from USD 5470 million in 2007 to USD 6989 million in the year2008. In 2009, the profits declined to USD 4839 million (Unilever 1). However, despite the slight decline which has been as a result of worldwide economic shocks, it can be said that Unilever PLC has maintained a strong financial performance over the years. The levels of sales revenue and net income over the last three years are shown in the diagram above. Fig. 1.2 Trend Unilever PLC’s Market Value for Share The market share of a company’s stocks indicates investors’ confidence in the company’s ability to generate future earnings and therefore a vote of confidence in its financial position. Unliver PLC’s market price has grown steadly since 2008 to the average price eleven months in 2010. The share price grew from an average USD26.46 in 2008 to USD26.85 in 2009 and then shot
Feminism as the theory is based on the discussion of many points among which it is possible to determine the issues of sexuality and femininity. These concepts are closely associated with the gender questions. The sexual expression is traditionally discussed as the male prerogative, and femininity is considered as an absolute quality which should be characteristic for each woman. The theory of feminism rejects the mentioned ideas, and there are a lot of examples that these statements are not reasonable. In her novel A Member of the Wedding , Carson McCullers discusses many points connected with the woman’s development, including the issues of sexuality and femininity. McCullers’ approaches to presenting the aspects of the main character Frankie’s development and awareness of herself as a woman depend on rejecting the traditional vision of the problem, and they can be discussed as rather feministic and provocative in their nature. Young Frankie can be characterized as a tomboyish girl who begins to discover her femininity and sexuality. Frankie begins to pay attention to “a feeling that she had never heard named before” (McCullers 98). It is possible to speak about Frankie’s inner conflict when she discovers her feelings for her cousin and his bride, and when she struggles with her femininity as well with her tomboyishness. On the one hand, Frankie should act according to the social visions of the gender roles. On the other hand, the girl experiences some unfamiliar and strange feelings. Free states that young Frankie’s “lack of knowledge about the existence of homosexuality contributes to her confusion, isolation, and perception of herself as grotesque-ironic” (Free 438). That is why, Frankie’s feelings are the real challenge, and they cannot be explained with references to the traditional social visions of the fact. Frankie feels confused when it is necessary to speak about her emotions because they can be discussed as opposite to the appropriate views on the woman’s sexuality. Thus, Frankie is confused when Berenice pays attention to her jealousy which can be seen “from the color in [her] eye” (McCullers 4). Furthermore, Frankie does not like strange and “queer” conversations about love or about “a thing known and not spoken” (McCullers 100). The problem is in the fact women cannot experience some specific feelings in relation to the definite stereotypes developed in the society. These feelings are often hidden and not named that is why Frankie even thinks about herself as being a freak who has some wild and forbidden feelings. The main character of the novel tries to find some features in her inner world which can connect her with the other people. This search is caused
Introduction The monitor and the television were in the past, viewing devices that accept signals and display them on the screens. Computer monitors accepted signals from the Central Processing Unit of the computer with the help of connectors which do not have audio circuits like the television but are controlled by specialized adaptors like the monochrome or the graphic adaptors. Televisions traditionally have data processing systems known as the MINI SUB D15Connectors. Until the recent past, media and communication systems have been separate and distinct aspects, with the television being associated with broadcasting television programs while the monitor is associated with the display of content on the computer. However, in recent times, separate functions have begun to merge and the boundaries of these separate entities have become broader and more encompassing. In today’s times, it is a common phenomenon to watch TV on the Pc monitor and more and more desktops and notebooks are developed and manufactured with in-built TV tuners. It would not be surprising to find a 42-inch PC-TV combo in the technological market and this process which enables such “the collapse of disparate technology, equipment and services into a set of common and ubiquitous technology, equipment and services” (Internet Industry Association, 2002) is called convergence. This paper attempts to analyze the convergence between the television and the monitor. Main body Television was traditionally a medium of broadcasting programs produced by television channels but is developing into an interactive medium of communication. The monitor, which was initially a simple device for the display of contents from the Central Processing Unit of the computer has now evolved into a multitasking device that allows consumers to not only use it as a monitor screen but also double up as a television. The recent innovations of high-definition plasma monitors have changed the face of television and the technology used in it. The convergence between the television and the computer industry has enabled some of the most mind-blowing innovations in the field of technology. The latest is the merger of the large screen high-resolution television which is powered by a Pentium processor and doubles up as a multimedia computer monitor too. The new Personal Computer is converged with a Television monitor and this has resulted in a unique monitor with optimal features of a high-resolution monitor in combination with the convenience of a “high-quality television” (Business Wire, Oct 1, 1996). This new monitor allows the dual functions of watching the television without actually sw
Introduction Wind power is a form of renewable natural energy which is generated from wind. Wind has emerged as one of the widely used sources of energy in the modern world, owing to its nature as a virtually inexhaustible source of energy. Wind power simply involves the process of converting wind energy into mechanical or electrical energy using wind turbines. Even though the use of wind power has been there for many centuries, it has never gained much popularity across the world compared with other sources of energy such as hydropower and solar energy, which are widely used to generate electricity. This, however, appears to have changed in the current world where the capacity for wind power generation is observed to have risen to as much as 50 percent in a year. As it would be observed, there are some obstacles that have restricted increased use of this reliable source of energy in most parts of the world. One common obstacle here is that wind farms are not just located anywhere, but in regions where large masses of moving air are present. In this regard, some of the most strategic location
After watching the film named The Corporation, it is possible to enumerate the understanding behind why a corporation is defined as a person ( The Corporation – Full Movie ). The person is a virtual orientation of business functionality to align with existing setups but cannot be defined by emotional and perceptual qualities. A corporation can also be defined as an entity that involves 2 or more people authorized by law and approved by the state government to act as a legal person in business and other activities with personal powers, duties, and liabilities. The corporation may also be a group of people working together with individualized capabilities to take legal action against irregularities and handle responsibilities like a person. Furthermore, the personification allows the corporations to raise money through shares in order to increase the capital of the business. The shareholders are protected against personal claims since the corporation’s chances of having its resource limits damages or debts. In case the shareholders commit fraud, then they suffer the damages or debts. This aspect of corporations functions as an individual entity within business borrowing and transactions where the responsibilities are equaled to those of a person willing to hire services. Once the shareholders of corporations vote for the board-of-directors as per the organizational laws, they choose the main staff and hire the topmost managers. It is a requirement to hold annual meetings of the shareholders and board members. In the case of private business corporations, such information as the name of a business and amount of stock to be issued must be included. Some other corporations organized by and for religion, education, charity, and other public services do not make profits. Since a corporate person harbors the responsibilities to make successful deals in a court and recover from any presumed failure, he cannot give up on the strategic approaches able to render all services. Response I do not think that the sorts of personal, ethical, and psychological evaluations exactly obscure deeper structural issues with moralistic statements. Ideally, obscuring a moralistic view is not the main focus of imagination. This agreement is based mainly on the personification of corporations. The personification is aimed at allowing the business to operate in all ways that an individual can. It allows the corporations to operate within the core business setups where people own them under the governance and standards stipulated. In this manner, the corporations can be charged for failing to meet various requirements stipulate by the national, local, and state regulations. From an ethical perspective, the corporation is personified to take individual responsibilities with respect to the standards set nationally or internationally. In essence, whereas individuals may be understood on their capabilities to explain issues, the corporation cannot deliver similar insight without human intervention
