Introduction The banking and financial services industry requires dealing with customers on a daily basis. The organization focuses on effective customer service through identifying their needs and designing products and services that suit them. This requires the staff to work in shifts to ensure customer service is continuous. However, it is notable that the lunch break taken by all the people in the organization takes more time than required. This is due to transport issues and the strategic location of the organization. The organization is located approximately twenty kilometers from the nearest town center. This is because the location is serene and is next to diplomatic and other major offices. Hence, it is meant to serve corporate and business people. Bowen (2005) asserts that customer service has to be continuous and consistent. The issue of time taken daily for lunch by each individual worker is challenging the quality of customer service provided because it is a daily routine and workers cannot be made to forfeit lunch. This is further beginning to affect productivity due to longer working hours spent outside the organization. The distance is also affecting workers by making them feel tired and this affects the turnover (Gupta, Lehmann & Stuart, 2004). The flow chart designed is a representation of the suggested process to curb this problem. This paper discusses the bottlenecks in the process and gives a pictorial representation in the form of a flow chart. Bottlenecks in the Process Additional resources required The suggested process gives the option of having lunch prepared for staff by a department created by the organization or an outside catering firm. On the other hand, employees can carry their own lunch. These options require resources mainly in terms of time, money and labor. Bowen (2005) asserts that any suggested project has to be cost-effective to the organization. The creation of a department to deal with lunch would require materials, personnel, space and all catering requirements. The option of the outside catering firm would also require additional costs since the food offered would be charged at a higher price due to the advantage of having it offered on the premises. Resistance from employees Bowen (2005) asserts that it is normal for employees to resist change they are not used to. In this case, the change in the process of taking lunch would not be an exception. Gupta et al. (2004) point out that employees need to be valued before extending any changes to them. This process would be seen as a lack of respect because their suggestions in this matter were not taken into consideration and therefore did not seem feasible in the organization. Further, as Davies (2008) points out, any change should not lower the bonuses and incentives for employees and since this would minimize the benefits in terms of allowances given to the employees, it would foster more resistance. Requirements of the headquarters This organization is a subsidiary branch of the main office. It is required that the decisions that affect the operations of the subsidiary through incurring extra costs or affe
Explain how cybersecurity researchers could use the TAM model to explore the factors which affect employee acceptance of biometrics used for access to facilities and computing systems The technology acceptance model (TAM) is an information systems theory that models how users accept and use technology. Understanding and studying the technology acceptance model may be quite effective and useful in the long run. First, it can lead to better analysis and forecasting of new information resources. Secondly, if users have a certain level of confidence, they will be able to increase the level of personal control over the information. In this context, many organizations are implementing and using various new technologies to improve their cybersecurity. However, the staff must have certain qualifications and knowledge in order to apply these technologies most effectively (Davis, 1989). Biometric technologies are based on measuring the unique characteristics of an individual. In other words, this type of technology is inextricably linked to the person himself. For this reason, high-quality training of personnel becomes critical for companies and organizations (Ajibade, 2018). Thus, when implementing a new technology, all the company’s personnel must undergo retraining in order to start using this technology effectively. Many employees may be critical of new technologies due to the fact that over many years of practice they have managed to get used to traditional technologies for them. In this context, the implementation of TAM in the company is critical for the effective functioning of the organization (Portz et al., 2019). TAM aims to help staff adopt and use new technologies in the most effective way. A person’s perception of ease of use is thought to play a key role in their acceptance of the new technology (Portz et al., 2019). Thus, one of the goals of TAM is to explain to students the principle of how technologies work as simply as possible. Moreover, another goal of TAM is to provide tracking of the influence of external factors on receptivity and intentions. In this sense, the introduction of TAM is also positive for companies that want to successfully apply the latest technologies. What research questions might they ask? It becomes possible to identify several questions that researchers may have about this topic. First, how does TAM implementation help increase the adoption of new technologies by staff? In this context, it is important to note that at the moment companies are increasingly exposed to the influence of advanced technologies (Mlekus et al., 2020). Biometric technologies are increasingly found in the work of many companies and organizations. For this reason, TAM must ensure that staff adopt and approve this advanced technology to result in efficiency and success. The second question is the very usefulness of the new technology for the staff. Some studies show that TAM directly affects the level of satisfaction that advanced technology will cause (Hornbæk et al., 2017). In this context, the introduction of TAM leads to the fact that satisfaction directly affects the usefulness of the technology
Introduction The music industry normally deals with production and selling of pieces of music. It encompasses artistes, the firms and experts who produce and sell the recorded music. There are also concert promoters and agents, entertainment legal representatives, musical device producers, among others. The term cultural industry refers to a range of establishments that generate, deal out and trade in merchandise that downrightly fall under imaginative arts. Examples of such merchandise include music, films and publications, among others. A cultural industry is normally a broad grouping of a given form of production. For instance, a music store selling records and albums provides work for salespeople, administrators and customers. The trade of these products relies on other cultural industry dealings. Musicians have to carry out their recordings, distributors need to vend the music and recording studios have to do their part. Firms tasked with production of all needed equipment like tapes and compact discs, among others are also counted in this industry. Music industry as a cultural industry Cultural creations are usually holders of distinctiveness, standards and significance and aspects of economic and societal improvement. The preservation and back up of cultural multiplicity directs to the promotion of the development of cultural industries that have the capability to cause an impact on a local and international scale. Cultural entities, as mentioned earlier, create and deal out cultural commodities or services which at any instance are deemed as a definite quality, exemplify and put across cultural expressions, just like music and its other related compositions. The music industry is already one of the most vibrant fields of the global economy and trade and is bound to grow even more with time, providing new business sides especially to the developing economies of the world. Any form of music that is produced in any given setting normally mirrors that society’s way of life and practices, which is basically their culture and ways of life. This music also serves to form that society by way of the practices of homogeneity and commoditization, coming up with commodities rather than subjects. The cultural industry’s aim is to meet the populace’s entertainment requirements just like the music industry. Normalized creations were initially obtained from the requirements of the end users and this is the reason as to why they usually encounter little or no resistance at all. In the real sense, a sequence of operation and retroactive requirement is fusing the music industry ever more firmly. Through the normalizing of these requirements, the industry is influencing its products’ consumers to yearn for them even more. The end result is that mass production supplies a mass marketplace that diminishes the distinctiveness and likes of the particular end users who are as exchangeable as the
In the context of present-day developments, people frequently underestimate the importance of adhering to a balanced diet and eat junk and fast food without any concerns about the energy balance and macronutrient quantity and quality. However, nutrition appears to be an integral part of a healthy lifestyle, which guarantees the appropriate living conditions. Thus, this issue should be drawn attention in order to avoid negative consequences in the future. Therefore, the purpose of this essay is to conduct an energy and macronutrient analysis on the basis of the personal three-day food intake report. Energy Balance According to the personal intake recommendations, which include all the individual features of my organism, I am advised to eat 3100 calories a day on average or approximately from 2800 to 3400 calories a day. In fact, during the days when my food intake was reported, I consumed approximately 2200 calories a day or from 1900 to 2400 calories. Although this indicator is lower than the recommended norm, it may be concluded that there are no reasons to worry (Moretto et al., 2017). During the days, I was not active and stayed at home for the whole day. However, in case of considerable sports activities, it is essential to adhere to the advised number of calories in order to maintain the current weight and not to lose muscle mass. Macronutrient Quantity It is important to eat various and healthy food in order to consume all the macronutrients in a recommended dose. This is helpful for maintaining the appropriate health condition and organism systems operation without any problems (Tielemans et al., 2016). As for me, the report demonstrates that I have consumed an appropriate amount of fat. However, there is a deficiency of carbohydrate consumption, as the intake was 45% lower than it is advised. This presents a problem for the organism, as it influences the level of sugar in blood. Therefore, the underconsumption of this macronutrient may lead to hypoglycemia (Tielemans et al., 2016). In addition, protein overconsumption should be noted as well, as it is significantly over the recommended limit. In fact, on average, I eat a double norm a day, which is not beneficial for the organism (Tielemans et al., 2016). This habit is highly likely to lead to heart disease and affect kidney function. Macronutrient Quality The protein overconsumption may be explained by the adherence to Whey Protein Powder Isolate, which contains considerable amount of this macronutrient. Other major sources of protein are different kinds of meat, such as chicken, beef, and others. Their intake should be limited to some extent in order to prevent negative consequences in the future. The carbohydrate deficiency appears to be the result of underconsumption of nuts,
An Analysis of the Project’s Structure and Management The project structure of West Gate Bridge Project had obvious cause of worry from the day it was commissioned. Taking a simple reflection into the genesis of the project, in 1961, Lower Yarra Crossing Company Limited was established with the sole purpose of seeing to it that either a bridge or a tunnel is developed to ensure that the services of ferry is faced out because its capacity was low. This company had the original vision for this project. It had the understanding of what was needed and apparently the will and ability to see into it that a bridge was successfully constructed as per the need as at that time. However, the events that led to its closure were not very clear. Although the report indicates that it went under voluntary liquidation, the immediate replacement by Lower Yarra Crossing Authority, which was affiliated to the government, raises question about the management of the project. When Maunsell and Partners which was the engineering consultants doubted their capacity to handle the project given its magnitude LYCA acted diligently by contracting the services of Freeman, Fox and Partners (FF&P) which appeared to have greater capacity. However, the management of LYCA failed to lay a proper structure of how the two consultants would relate. When the two contractors (JHC and WSC) were given the green light to start the construction, again a clear lapse was evident in the structure and management of the project. Although JHC was able to finish their assigned task without many incidents, it was by lack. The consulting firms failed in their duty to offer guidance to the contractors. However, because JHC was specialized at the task they were assigned, they were able to sail through their task, especially because their staffs were well coordinated and satisfied with the way the company treated them. Things were not the same at WSC due to several factors. At first, the structure of the project and the management did not favor them. The joint consultants failed to specialize categorically on which areas to offer their service to this firm. Instead, FF&P took control of eve
What role did Dr. Davenport play in Antwone’s life other than his therapist? Antwone Fisher is a violent young man with visible rage issues. He serves in the U. S. Navy where such behavior is unacceptable, this is why Antwone ends up being sent to a counselor, doctor Davenport. The doctor and the patient gradually become closer. Over time the relationship with the doctor starts to fulfill Antwone’s lack of a father figure in life. For example, he starts sharing dating experiences with the doctor and visiting his family gatherings. What was the quality of the relationship between Dr. Davenport and Antwone? Antwone shifts from being locked up, stubborn and silent to open and sharing mode, he tells Davenport about very intimate fears and experiences. For example, about sexual abuse, he has been through in childhood. His aggression lessens; he becomes more confident and controlled, it takes him longer to break down and start a fight. What was Antwone’s contribution to treatment and what role did hope play? Antwone contributes to the treatment by listening to the doctor’s advice, answering all the questions, even personal ones about his sexual experience, reading the book Davenport suggests, and practicing sublimation of his anger through drawing, as one of the peaceful forms of channeling his anxiety and rage. Hope is one of the major moving forces of Antwone’s treatment, as soon as he realized that he had problems and they could be cured, he started being very dedicated to the therapy. What role do you think Dr. Davenport’s theoretical orientation plays in Antwone’s progress? Doctor Davenport’s theoretical orientation is directed at mildly pushing Antwone towards his progress. Davenport does not force or make his patient speak or act against his will. Instead, he waits till the patient is ready for the next move and empowers or directs him. For example, when Antwone was reluctant to discuss certain intimate experiences, the doctor asked simple and short questions that did not require elaboration that could cause pain and discomfort to the patient. What role did Antwone’s girlfriend, Cheryl, play in his treatment and his life? Chery, Antwone’s girlfriend is the force that stimulates the young seaman first to stop practicing denial and blocking his emotions, or hiding them through isolation of effect. Besides, Cheryl is the reason why Antwone works out his issues considering sexual experience based on fears and stress coming from his childhood. What cultural/class issues are relevant to Antwone’s treatment? Antwone suffers from unrestrained aggression based on race and class issues. He is a child, who grew up in a highly abusive home, always hated and punished for hav
Introduction Ever since I was a little child growing up in a busy city, I had this desire to be a police officer when I grow up. I found police officers in the city to be clean, organized and they seemed to be in control. I always liked their beautiful uniforms that always stood out in almost all the streets of the big city. It was impossible to pass a street without coming across a police officer or a police patrol car with sirens and lights blaring. They always seemed busy and in control of whatever situation they found themselves in. These, among many other aspects of the police force, infatuated me as a little kid. When I got older, I inevitably developed an urge to learn more about policing and an opportunity arose to ride along with a police officer. I took up the opportunity without a second thought. Body However, before embarking on that ride, I had to hand in a written application to our police department offices in order to be granted and assigned an officer. This was also necessary in order to set a date for the trip. A week earlier, I had picked an application form for participation in the program, read through the rules, filled it out and turned it in as per our local department of police requirements. Since a police officer’s job revolves around maintaining peace and order in the community, the officers usually get involved in very risky and dangerous situations. It was therefore a mandatory precaution to sign an accident waiver at the department. By signing the waiver, I assumed all the risks that I could have been exposed to at the time of the ride and throughout the program. I later received a call from the department informing me that I have been granted the opportunity to participate in the program. I was also informed about the venue, time and date of the ‘ride-along’. It was an early Tuesday morning. The alarm went off; I woke up and prepared myself for the crucial ride. I dressed professionally and at around 9am, I headed to the police department’s offices. The streets were busy with people going about their daily activities. On arrival, the officer on duty introduced himself, gave me a short tour of the department and the patrol car. He later directed me to the patrol car. He ensured that I was ready and fully aware of the possible risks involved. We boarded the car and fastened our safety belts. The officer started the car and immediately calls started coming in through the communication system. The communications’ gadgets placed in the car including the tele-communicator and radios were all working properly. He reached out to the microphone and responded to what sounded like his dispatcher’s instructions on his start of duty. On driving to the main road, the officer quickly picked out a car with an underage male who was driving carelessly. The siren went off and we drove towards the car. The underage driver pulled his car on to the sideway and the officer did the same. He suggested I stay put in the car unless otherwise advised or ordered. I watched him get out of the car and head towards the white colored BMW that the young man was drivi
Introduction The book “Doctors Wanted: No Women Need Apply” written by Mary Roth Walsh, was published in 1977, being the first massive amount of literature available regarding the history of women in American medicine. It is about the status women had, being in the medical profession, from the period of 1835 to 1975. Men and women have both been a part of the medical field, but women have had to face barriers, and their treatment in their profession has been assessed and analyzed in Mary’s book. Ever since this publication, the topic of women in the field of American medicine has become a national and even international subject of discussion. The book is a readable piece of literature, is fascinating and well-researched. It contains valuable matter relating to relationships of male and female medical practitioners, and tells us of the women’s rights movements of the nineteenth century. Men and women have never exercised equal freedom or status, no matter how hard they work. Main body Men have always been declared and considered superior beings to women, even if the women can do equal shares of work or possess equal amounts of talent. This book focuses on the inequality of women basically, and is indicative of the fact that even if women gain so much knowledge as to become qualified and practicing doctors, they will never be highly regarded or appreciated. They will still be the lower and inferior class as compared to their male counterparts. The book is a good reference for students of women’s studies and social and intellectual studies. It contains reading material that may prove beneficial for scholars in medicine too. The material Walsh has produced is an ideal study for those interested in the discovery of female physicians. The facts she has mentioned are worthy as being symbolic of feminism and is informative for today’s feminists. It is all in favour of the rights women should be given, and this will be especially appreciated by all females, as lack of women’s rights is an ongoing issue in the world. All female readers would be pleased to go through the text, and the points given which they may also have encrypted in their minds, but never got a chance to voice out. Feminism is a topic that took root since the beginning of time immemorial. Men have since eons been the dominating sex and have always enjoyed supremacy over the other gend
