A description of the Stonehenge and it setting A comprehensive laser examination of the Stonehenge in the previous year shows original information and axe carvings on how the shaping of stones was carried out. In the analysis, seventy one new-fangled axed head carvings were found. These increased the acknowledged Stonehenge number to one hundred and fifteen. Basically, the axed head designs related to a particular epoch in the ancient bronze era possibly between seventeen fifty and fifteen hundred BC. This came about one thousand years subsequent to the erection of the huge sarsen stone loop. Stonehenge report, which is contrary to media reports, showed that it was hardly a huge gallery of arts (Tilley, 2010). In fact, Stonehenge carving appeared just on 4 stones. See the diagram below. The above scanned picture similarly divulged far-fetched detailed information on how stone shaping occurred. For instance, there were those who pecked the vertical lines and those who horizontal lines using stone mauls (Tilley, 2010). The diagram below is an English Heritage publication. It offers decisive information on the amount of harms that guests carving graffiti and memento huntsmen caused when they chipped headstones’ bits off. One of the seventeenth-century stone architects involved in chipping off stones was Sir Wren Christopher (Gaffney, Woodward & Yorston, 2000). An innovative henge has been discovered via geophysical study Near Stonehenge, the formerly undisclosed henge headstone has been invented. When the most modern techniques that could observe underground devoid of any exaction were used, it was easier to see the intervallic ditch dark circle. Two wide gaps emanated from opposite one another. They were lined up in the middle-summer daybreak and mid-winter nightfall, thus they seemed as entries to the headstone. They resembled the Stonehenge itself (Gaffney, Woodward & Yorston, 2000). See the diagram below. Right within the trench it is equally feasible to recognize the twenty four postholes light shadows which encircled the twenty five meters central area diameter. There are more murky regions near the midpoint which specified depths as well as huge dimness that suggested the mass that piled there. This was possibly in the later phases in the utilization of that headstone. When compared with the modern Stonehenge, the henge possibly dates back from twenty-five hundred BC to three thousand BC (Darvill, 2007). Outl
Key Strengths and Weaknesses of the Company The major strengths of MTC are:   * relying on a strong base of investment capital that can ensure growth;   * enjoying several decades of successful experience in the business of cellular technologies;   * occupying the place among the major leaders in the Sub-Saharan market;   * having subsidiaries in a number of developing states;   * being the first mobile telecommunication company that appeared in the Middle East;   * having a highly professional team;   * building business on an exceptionally competitive strategy unsurpassed by market rivals;   * being able to stay afloat in the pre-paid market;   * inspiring loyalty in all the subscribers;   * offering borderless networks between the African countries where the population can use Celtel. Weaknesses of MTC:   * being unable to counteract oversaturation of the home market;   * having limited opportunities for further growth in the national mobile sector;   * being forced to face high competitiveness of the industry;   * possessing limited knowledge of the team concerning the African market, its processes, leaders, strategies, and dominant forces;   * having to deal with foreign competition in the African sector;   * being incapable of changing the organizational culture, which is highly unstable across subsidiaries and brings inefficiencies to the company’s operations. Similarities and Differences Examining the markets in which the company operates, the following similarities and differences can be singled out:   * While African countries use the Celtel brand (MTC’s subsidiary), Middle East countries use MTC, which makes the position of the company rather similar in the two markets and allows it to implement the same strategies.   * Middle East countries are more difficult to approach since their markets are oversaturated (many other industry leaders have already brought their products to the Middle East, hoping to expand operations). On the contrary, African countries present a great potential for growth. There are two types of groupings that would make sense for MTC:   * Middle East countries and Africa (Kenya, Nigeria, etc.);   * Muslim and non-Muslim countries. Such groupings will help the company think of its strategy in the following ways:   * The grouping based on the geographical principle will a

(2020), digital technologies are used to help public-medical responses to the Coronavirus globally include population surveillance, infection tracing, identifying new test cases, and intervention evaluation based on data mobility and public communications. Quick reactions strategies include mobile devices, cloud databases, data computation resources, and language processing. The application of technology in disaster management, such as Coronavirus, enables the transformation of life aspects (Maduz & Roth, 2017). According to a worldwide technology use survey, sixty-seven percent of the global populace use mobile devices, while sixty-five percent own or use smartphones in their daily lives. Populace surveillance systems depend on health-associated information from diagnosis notifications and laboratory data. The surveillance network is oriented upon symptoms reports from identified healthcare infrastructure and hospitals. Online websites provide portals where users can fill in information by taking surveys and answering questionnaires. The collected data is used to devise strategies and determine health disaster trends before they take place hence developing coping mechanisms before a disaster attack (Maduz & Roth, 2017). Early case identification is vital in dealing with a pandemic such as Coronavirus to identify infected victims or waves of future attacks to reduce the outcomes’ repercussions. Digital technology provides stakeholders with the opportunity to offer community-based services such as group testing and self-testing to gather more accurate information used for projections. Technological innovation supports the application of automation to the existing system functions, which are not crucial or are mere routines to speed up the strategic preparedness process. Tracing digital contacts supports tracing of infection rate and speed for scaling the resources used in combating a pandemic or disaster. Digital tracing of contacts minimizes reliance on human capital or workforce when collecting information for developing a preparedness scheme through mobile applications (Maduz & Roth, 2017). The Coronavirus pandemic mobile apps supporting digital connections were used in various countries to rapidly gather data and other important information for limiting the disease spread. Information collected through mobile phones using the global positioning system, mobile network, and wireless networks are used to monitor people’s movements, instant population data, marking of high transmission risk, and offer trends used to implement interventions such as quarantine. Budd et al. (2020) argue that effective implementation of interventions during disaster depend on public awareness and education. Therefore, corporations implement a communication approach that includes the active participation of community members. Technology gets onboard alongside other general well-being innovations used during
Introduction IKEA International is a global corporation that offers home accessories to all global clients. Headquartered in Sweden, IKEA provides quality furnishings in various global markets. IKEA aspires to provide quality products and services to its global clients. To realize this vision, IKEA offers various properly designed and serviceable house-furnishings at very low prices across the global markets. In the global markets, IKEA is acknowledged for the provision of quality furnishings that cannot be assembled easily, but can be transported without problems. IKEA furnishings are evident in the City Festivals and residential places. Since its inauguration in 1943, IKEA has globalized its operations and businesses. However, globalization presents various threats and opportunities to IKEA while exposing its strengths and weaknesses to market competitors. The strategic management issues affecting IKEA’s global operations are analyzed through Value Chain Analysis, VRIN, PESTL, and Porters Five Forces frameworks (Sekhar, n.d). The internal and external global environments have been analyzed using these analytical tools and recommendations have been provided. The current operations and businesses of IKEA In the 1980s, IKEA began to expand its business operations to the United States and other parts of the European markets. These markets attracted the company due to several reasons: (1) the regions had very large customer base, (2) the local residents who had travelled considered themselves risk-takers, (3) the market was fragmented and (4) the potential customers could be identified with regi
Introduction The globalization of the world economy in the 21 st century has led to an expansion of businesses and organizations. New markets worldwide, as well as the emergence of various international institutions, economic unions, and trade partnerships, has created the need for cooperation. Such consortiums benefit from multinational collaboration as an elaborate knowledge base, and unique perspectives are acquired through diversity. While cross-cultural teams can address the issues that arise in the context of international business, there are often internal operational challenges (Hult International Business School 2017). Language, which is a form of cultural identity, sets specific standards and patterns of communication that can differ significantly in various parts of the world. Language management is a discipline that organizations utilize to develop a policy and training to enhance the performance of cross-cultural cooperation. In the structure of an international organization, language directly impacts communication and cultural perceptions of business conduct. Commu
Synopsis This report discusses the importance of a proper workplace layout, the building codes in Australia, safety signs, safety equipment, safety program and an emergency evacuation procedure. Findings Designing a safe workplace has been seen to improve efficiency of the personnel involved (Usernomics, 2008). Taking safety measures in the workplace has been found also to reduce fatality rates in the office (eHow Inc., 2010). According to Answers.com (2010), productivity is also seen to depend on an office’s layout. According to Davenport (2005), in as much as the physical work environment affects the productivity of the knowledgeable worker, it remains a factor to be clearly understood. This report identifies a proper work design layout as critical in improving the efficiency and productivity of the personnel involved as well as discussing safety as regards the work place. Productivity for any company is important to say the least and so is safety thus it is very important to look at these two issues. Building standards According to the website Australian Building Codes Board the Australian Building Codes Board (2010), the board represents the building industry of Australia. The board requires of every building be made to suit disabled people. The board’s codes require that buildings provide a means of escape in times of emergencies, not be made of combustible material, that the structure of the building should not collapse internally and that the structure of the building should aid fire fighters in their duties. Additionally, the codes require that toilets be provided in every building and the building to have a proper ventilation and drainage system. Safety signs Safety is defined according to Answers.com (2010) as a state of being protected from danger. Safety is very important in the workplace and an employer cannot run the risk of running a company that does not lay proper emphasis on safety issues. According to authorSTREAM (2010), the workplace presents us with hazards from electrical equipment, heat-generating sources hand and powered tools, chemicals and even fires. One way of implementing safety in the workplace is through workplace safety signs. Workplace safety signs come in different types that are commonly differentiated by the a
Dissertation Summary The chosen dissertation was written by Kaya (2008) who focused on the problems and experiences of general education teachers working in Turkey. The research was conducted in an urban center in Turkey in 2008. The researcher was paying focused attention to the connection existing between “burnout and classroom and teacher factors” (Kaya, 2008, p. 7). During the research, the author was focusing on three important questions shaping the study. First, the paper studies the degree of burnout among teachers “teaching in inclusion classrooms in Turkey” (Kaya, 2008, p. 9). Also, it focuses on the specific factors about the working process and characteristics of participants that can be used to predict burnout in teachers working in Turkey. The third research question touches upon the existence of perceived challenges associated with this profession. The sample studied during the research included almost six thousand elementary school teachers from Turkey. Data collection methods used during the research include the use of two survey tools (MBI and EBES). As for the data analysis methods chosen by the researcher, there are five of them: “descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, independent t-test, stepwise multiple regression, and qualitative analysis” (Kaya, 2008, p. 7). Having analyzed the collected data, the researcher concluded that both age and teacher experience could be called the variables predicting burnout in Turkish teachers. In terms of the perceived work-related difficulties, a lot of the participants reported that it was difficult for them to use individualized strategies in classes with large numbers of students. The given dissertation is important to the proposed research as it demonstrates the practical significance of inclusion policy and provides an example of the proper use of quantitative research methods and data collection tools. Therefore, a lot of conclusions presented in the dissertation can help to study the topic of burnout in intellectual disability teachers in Saudi Arabia. Dissertation Critique Among the key conc
The purpose of the study is to determine whether P&G have the capacity to acquire and make SK-II products an international brand. The study seeks to find out the relevance of a global strategy for P&G and their capacity to popularize SK-II to become a global product. It will also examine the need for P&G to intensify its marketing activities in the Japanese market as they explore the needs of the intended market. Some of the factors to consider before deciding to recommend to the SK-II presentation are described below. Since it is the first time P&G is proposing to enter a global market, it will be important to reflect on the different cultures of people outside Japan. P&G is in the middle of restructuring from O2005 recommendations, considering it would be disruptive. From experience, the events of 1980s where cost of producing local products was very high, business leaders objected to production of new products since it would eat up local profits. The proposition to introduce SK-II into the global market is an opportunity to break through $9 billion global skin care market according to Paolo De Cesare’s. According to Ram, SK-II should to be brought into the Chinese market because it was the second biggest consumer of skin care products in the world. Analysis to be carried out should consider the following objectives: the impact of culture and changes in organizations of O2005 in determining the global penetration of SK-II products. The analysis should be based on the business model of SK-II, hence, the need to have its knowledge and whether it complies with O2005 recommendations. The analysis should look at ways of determining the most potential countries that use skin care products. Lastly, the analysis should look at entry strategies to be applied in implementation. SK-II has the potential to become an international brand because of the following reasons: its products are of high quality, it uses clear perfume free liquid which is distinct, there is good brand image in Japan, and the global market for skin care products is worth $9 billion and the superior product technology. The limitations that can derail SK-II products though insignificant include: little brand awareness in Japan and the difficulty in translating the product in Western countries. After he arrived in Japan, Paolo DeCesare discovered that SK-II products had gained a substantial market in the Chinese cities of Taiwan and Hong Kong. Due to this success, leaders had proposed to venture into Singapore, South Korea and Malaysia. Paolo DeCesare perceived these markets to be small and wanted to pursue a bigger ambition. The following markets would be recommended for the new skin care p
Introduction Communication has always been an essential element of every aspect of human life. Very much depends on the person’s ability to communicate with others and to apply efficient communicative skills to achieve their goals. In general, it is possible to state that the ability to communicate constructively shapes the major part of the individual’s success in his or her personal life, at work and in other spheres. There are many jobs that involve constant communication with clients, provision of some consultative or advisory services, which is almost solely built on the principles of communication and interaction with people. Business affairs are as well impossible to be accomplished without making business agreements, holding negotiations and instructing the personnel on the goals to pursue. There is a great multitude of examples of the need of communication skills in daily life, so it goes without saying that business operations require well-developed communication abilities and demand their application on a daily basis. It is enough to mention the ever-growing globalization of the world and business together with it, so interpersonal and cross-cultural communication acquires key importance in the contemporary world. It is for this reason that one needs to pay close attention to the issue of communication skills in the process of learning business communication and related topics. Communication Skills and Strategies Communication, no matter how simple and familiar it may seem, appears to be a complicated and multi-dimensional concept that needs thorough consideration and hard work in the process of acquiring the basic skills necessary for success. It does not correspond to a casual notion of talking as the communication process – it is much deeper in its goals and strategies to accomplish these goals. With the purpose of understanding the phenomenon of communication itself and communication skills in particular it is necessary to pay attention to the following concepts and terminology that will enhance the reader’s understanding of the issue: conscious and unconscious competence, reflective learning, motivation, motor skills and social skills. As for conscious and unconscious competence, Ellis (2003) believes that “it implies knowledge of the what (for instance, the core professional concepts) and knowledge of the how (the ways in which we put these concepts into practice)” (p. 2). It may be
It is possible to concentrate on the idea that the people’s mind is responsible for the human’s attitude to the reality and to his or her perception of time, space, and the form of being because these categories are the results of the mind’s work. Thus, people’s relations with the world depend on the peculiarities of this or that person’s mind and understanding of one’s role in the whole world. Differentiating between identity and relational logics, it is important to operate the notions of time, space, and being and discuss them in detail with references to Virginia Woolf’s vision of the person’s mind and its possibilities in this context. Can people follow the principles of only identity logic or only relational logic? The variety of the life situations and the reactions of the human mind to them can support the idea that there are no persistent followers of this or that pattern of behaviour, actions, and attitude because of the diversity of the variants and influential conditions. In spite of the fact identity logic is based on the definite stableness of considerations and ideas, it is impossible to speak about one identity for the majority of situations and at all the life stages. From this point, relational logic is more flexible for defining the people’s behaviours. Thus, the man is often different in his attitude to time, space, and even being, and this peculiarity can be discussed with references to Woolf’s considerations. The opposition of the human’s dependence on his or her identity or relations has its origins in the power of the mind. Is a person stable from the point of identity and form of being? According to Woolf, the answer is ‘no’ because the mind “seems to have no single state of being” (Woolf, 1989, p. 97). That is why it is significant to focus on the variety of persons’ forms of being which can be realised in relation to different people and different situations. What forms of being can people acquire because of the work of their mind? What are the mind’s relations with the persons in the street? Are they the part of the whole picture of the world along with the person who observes them through the window? The mind “can separate itself from the people in the street, for example, and think of itself as apart from them” (Woolf, 1989, p. 97). Separation and division of the world into ‘I’ and ‘the other people’ is the principle associated with the vision of the being according to the person’s identity. Can this perspective be discussed as the only one for describing th
