Most of the times, businesses fail to achieve the set objectives. Such a scenario comes about perhaps because the business does not implement the right strategies or offers customers a product that is not in demand. In addition, a business may fail because it is not located in a suitable environment. However, no matter what the causes of business failure are, many people tend to embrace different ideas on how failure is good for a business. This has been adopted by many people such that even organizations are adopting strategies that advocate for failure in business with the belief that failure is a step to the achievement of any set goals and objectives. This paper looks at the concept of business failure and examines any possible steps that upon implementation within a given time can prevent unwanted failure. In addition, the paper will look at steps that a business, organization and companies can adopt to better learn from failure. The assertion that failure and fast failure is a good thing has received different opinions. Several people argue that failure in a business is a good thing while others are for the belief that failure is bad and should not be advocated. Usually, failure is not as good as some people would think. Numerous people, especially those in management hold the belief that failure in business is bad but they share a common tradition that any business that has failed can effectively learn from mistakes committed during a past project. The reason why many people believe th
Most private companies have opted to change their ownership from private to public. Public-owned companies benefit most from the Stock market listing, which successfully helps them deleverage their financial crisis. However, this process seems less common in the case of professional sports teams. It’s proven that sports teams that go public and in-stock listed increased their average points per game in their domestic league. Initial Public Offering (IPO) funds may help teams gain capital for acquiring playing staff and expand into new areas of activity through acquisition. There will be a positive impact on a company going public. Companies going public will be able to raise capital which they will use to fund their operations and expand the company. Public companies gain more from liquidity as their shares have high valuation prices compared to private companies. The increased capital gain will help a company reduce its corporate debt as there will be more improved cash flow. Companies will gain the attention of potential customers as a result of financial media coverage. Companies will attract and retain their employees as the majority will prefer working in large public companies. (Ghonyan, 2017). However, there is a negative impact of going public. The Process is Expensive due to its time-consuming result of preparing reports for disclosure to the public. Also, it will require mobilizing and training staff to accomplish this work or hiring specialists to take the company through the process. Due to the complexity of public management companies, management control will be lost as both majority and minority shareholders have a say on how the companies will be managed. There will be increased regulatory government oversight bodies that change the way business can be managed and conducted. There will be enhanced reporting requirements as public corporations have to disclose their annual business operations to the public (Ghonyan, 2017). Every company considering going public through an IPO should spend sufficient time thinking about how the advantages and disadvantages of being a public company would affect their decision.
Initial Post Robert, who is 11 years old, undergoes regular examinations and is observed by medical specialists from an early age. He is experiencing complications provoked by an illness described as major issues connected with his chromosomes’ condition. This sickness is believed to be a genetic disease characterized by a microdeletion on chromosomal 22’s long arm (Kraus et al., 2018). Autism spectrum syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity issues are more prevalent among children with this disease. Kidney difficulties, schizophrenia, hearing problems, and inflammatory illnesses, including rheumatoid arthritis, are linked to this condition. Multiple later-onset illnesses, such as autoimmune disease, overweight, and mental disorder, are more probable to appear in individuals. Congenital cardiac abnormalities, unique facial traits, recurrent infections, developmental disorders, learning challenges, and birth defects are these illness’s common symptoms. The symptoms of this illness differ tremendously, even within family members, and it impacts many different regions of the body (Sullivan, 2019). Other congenital problems that affected people may have as neonates include renal anomalies and substantial feeding complications. Gastrointestinal discomfort is also fairly frequent in this patient group and clinical setting. Genetic screening is considered the method that serves as a marker of the diagnosis, which is predicted based on the clinical symptoms due to the substantial number of clinical manifestations and the range of appearances. It is suspected in individuals who exhibit one or more chromosomal deletion indications. Inadequate penetrance is a feature of this disease; as a result, numerous variations can occur in clinical expression between people. First Response Post Considering the particular situation and the case description, it is feasible to propose jaundice as Brendan’s illness. Due to elevated bilirubin levels, jaundice, also referred to as icterus, causes a yellowish or greenish coloration of the skin and white parts of the eyes. In adults and seniors, jaundice is generally a symptom of serious illnesses, for instance, abnormal heme metabolism, autonomic dysfunction, or biliary-tract occlusion. Emphasizing treatment, jaundice therapeutic options can depend on the underlying reason (Medical Centric, 2018). Surgery is usually obligated if a bile duct obstruction is present; alternatively, healthcare management is usually sufficient. Surgery is associated with significantly increased complications and death in patients with obstructive jaundice (Medical Centric, 2018). Treatment for infectious causes and the discontinuation of medications that may be contributing to the jaundice are two options for medical therapy. What concerns the prognosis for the patient in the case study, he has considerably increased chances of recovery since he visits his ophthalmologist, who is aware of the issues related to jaundice. Second Response Post Considerin
Introduction Different people have different views and opinions when it comes to violence and terror. For instance, Fanon and Arendt have their different perspectives concerning violence and particularly violence used by people and violence used by governments seeking, impartiality, social change, justice and liberty. In view of colonized people, Fanon considers violence to be integral and unavoidable within revolts and rebellions. He claims that violence is essential for the decolonization process to be fully achieved (to decolonize both mindsets and societies). Violence is, therefore, unifying, purifying, and fruitful. Quite the opposite, Arendt normally considers contemporary governments who exercise violence, mainly extreme violence, to be acting illicitly and criminally. Violence and power are not the same (although, political hypothesis tends to connect them). According to Arendt, countries resort to violence and force when they lack power, this is because true power emanates from approval, strength of will, and common purpose. This explains why the present world is filled with “powerless” individuals and states: ‘violence is the only thing left for them.’ Literature Review In Culture of Terror-Space of Death essay, Taussig writes about the different acts of violence from the perspective of the victimizer and that of the victim. In the essay, he uses several references like Simson, Conrad and Casement to show what ought to be taken into account when discussing acts of violence. Taussig perceived Casement’s study as being fictional because labor was not inadequate. The terror/violence was used exclusively to maintain economical labor. Taussig has used other peoples’ research on violence and terror as basis for his own study, however, he critically assesses their standpoints perceiving them as being fictionalized and not containing the entire truth. Taussig’s essay gives so many examples concerning violence and terror but his point is not clearly stated or specific. It is hard to establish Taussig’s viewpoint regarding violence and terror, at some point, it appeared as if he supported victimizers, as if they did not have a choice but to inflict pain on others. At other times, it seemed as if he believed that Indians were tormented unremittingly and without compassion. Michael Taussig has, however, carried out a very influential analysis of the society/culture in which violence reigns supreme. In the essay, he has greatly focused on the world of victimizers and victims where he explains why and how their thoughts vary from those who luckily do not fall in either of the two groups. Taussig strongly states that no matter how much people try to comprehend the psychology of violence/terror or oppression, they can never adequately get to its core because they have never experienced it with their own flesh or eyes in actual fact (Scheper-Hughes, 39). He meant that since ter
Introduction Although Arabic literature has been unexplored compared to the western literature, it is great and abundant in history (Husain, 1997). By studying the history of Arabic literature, one can get an insight into the lives of ancients Arabs. Equally, the history of the Arabic poetry can shed more light into the principles upheld by the past Arab poets, the themes they sang, the images they invented, and the convention they observed. In the history of the Arabian poetry, Al-Mutanabbi is one of the best and most interesting Arabs poets. Al-Mutanabbi began writing poetry at an early age of 10. His poetry became very popular for his humor combined with intelligence. He is renowned for his numerous collections of poems and other writings that focused mainly on flattering the kings and other influential leaders (Kritzeck, 2002). It is believed that the poet’s life experiences are represented in the 326 poems he wrote. As a powerful poet and a writer, Al-Mutanabbi was able to improve the Arab language poems from their traditional qasida forms. In an effort to understand poetry and poets in pre-Islamic Arabia, this paper focuses on Al-Mutanabbi as the poet and politician. Biographical Information Abu L-Taiyib Ahmad Ibn al-Husain al-Mutanabbi was born in the year 915 in the town of al-Kufa in Iraq. During the time of his birth, al-Kufa was very renowned for its thriving business activities. The poet came from a very humble background. As such, his father sold water in the town. Although he was very impoverished, his father was a descendant of an ancient Yamani tribe that boasted of a noble and heroic ancestry. During his childhood, Al-Mutanabbi received appropriate education. In school, the poet was taught Arabic and Arab sciences. At some stage in his youth, the poet visited Damascus during study leave. While on the leave, the young poet interacted with the traditional Bedouin guardians who were famous for their old ideals and pure speech. It is believed that some of his writings were inspired from his interaction with the Bedouin guardians. According to some Arabian literatures, the young poet got involved in Shite conspiracies during the decline of the caliphate authorities. In addition, these literatures assert that, as a young man the poet claimed that he was the descendant of the Alid. It was during this time that the poet joined a terrorist group by the name Carmathian. While in the group, the young poet together with other members terrorized the southern parts of ancient Iraq and Arabia. His youthful ambitions ended when he faked to be a prophet in the year 933. Early in the year 933, Al-Mutanabbi faked to be a prophet with a new Koran. As a fake prophet, he guided the rebellion at al-Samawa. Later on, he was later captured and imprisoned. It is believed that the poet received the name Al-Mutanabbi because of pretending to be a prophet. In Arabic, the name means an individual who fakes as a prophet. Before venturing
The human body is an amalgamation of organs and organ systems, which work in liaison with one another to give it its functionality. If one organ or organ system ceases to function optimally, the entire body will deteriorate in its functionality. Thus, human health is a critical issue that dominates the world’s developmental agenda at all levels. As a result, the emphasis is placed on the promotion of healthy lifestyles. Among the key elements of a healthy lifestyle is adherence to a healthy diet. There is a consensus among health experts and nutritionists on the types of food that constitute a healthy diet and one of them is fish (Ford et al. 1355). Overwhelming evidence suggests that fish consumption holds a plethora of health benefits. Unfortunately, a large fraction of the world’s population seems to be unaware of these benefits. This essay thus explores these benefits as well as the concerns associated with fish consumption in a bid to make it plain that fish consumption is far much more beneficial than presumed. Fish as Part of the Human Diet Food is broadly categorized into three well know groups, namely vitamins, carbohydrates, and proteins (Ford et al. 1355). Each of these categories is crucial to the wellbeing of the human body since they each have an exclusive role to play. Fish falls into the category of proteins, which supply the body with the necessary building blocks it requires to develop (Committee on Toxicity 5). In some exceptional cases, food from one of the three outlined categories can supply the body with nutrients that conventionally belong to another food category. For instance, fish is a protein-giving food, but it is also a vital source of vitamin D (Santerre 205). The Health Benefits of Fish Fish as a protein-giving food has a myriad of health benefits to its consumers. This positive aspect of fish consumption has seen researchers and nutritionists encourage people to eat fish at least two to three times per week for only then, can the health benefits of fish be unlocked (Committee on Toxicity 5). The first well-documented benefit of fish is that it is an excellent source of high-quality protein (Santerre 205). The quality of the protein obtained from fish is enhanced by the absence of or low presence of saturated fats. The idea of lean protein or lean meat stems from this attribute. In regards to this attribute, a regular fish consumer is not only exempt from the risks associated with saturated fats but also draws the benefits associated with lean protein. For instance, catfish and ground beef both have a protein content of about eighteen percent; however, an eight-ounce meal of catfish yields only 232 calories in contrast to ground beef, which yields 640 calories (Committee on Toxicity 5). The implication of this discrepancy on the health of regular ground beef consumers, as compared to regular fish consumers, is that they are more likely to become obese and suffer its consequences. In addition, saturated fats and cholesterol are associated with the prevalence o
In the modern globalizing world everything becomes bigger, moves closer together. The life, information and knowledge become more available, things that were out of reach before are now easy to get. Everything moves faster. Globalization in the political, economic, and cultural spheres of our life has created a massive impact and influenced the whole idea of our being. The scientists state that this process is not being artificially stimulated by people. Basically, no one is in charge of the changes that happen to our world. Due to the inevitable process of globalization the boundaries and borders get erased or fade away. People enjoy the pleasures of the globalization and all the opportunities it brings along. At the same time, the society tries to carefully watch their own barriers and boundaries and never let them fall down. In the world of nowadays, where transparency is appreciated and emphasized too much, each individual still tries to preserve their own privacy. Being extremely fascinated about the secrets of others is a part of human nature. Today’s mass media and the Internet have learnt to provide the audience with the fulfillment of these desires. At first, the magazines and newspapers were the main sources of gossips and information about other people’s private lives. Then the nineteen nineties put the beginning to mass production of reality shows that allowed the viewers a peek of someone else’s life. The huge popularity of reality television has quickly affected the Internet and moved to the World Wide Web. These days anyone can become a star of their own reality show. We live in the world of generous, but very careful and hypocritical sharing, when own privacy is considered to be sacred and the privacy of others means nothing at all. Transparency today has become a synonym of honesty and fairness. If you are not transparent, you must have something to hide. The refusal to turn your own private life inside out and tell all of your secrets is viewed as something bad and is being frowned upon. The novel called “The Circle” written by Dave Eggers is a modern dystopia portraying the exaggerated idea of what our world could become if the rules of ultimate transparency and sharing were taken to the extreme and became social laws. In the beginning the transparent society could probably seem to be a pleasant and secure place to live in. It could feel like heaven, just as it does to Mae, when she first arrives to the Circle. Yet, very quickly the downsides of such lifestyle would start to come up. Dave Eggers’ novel is called “The Circle” for a reason. The author makes a reference to Dante Alighieri’s “Divine Comedy”, where the poet describes the circles of hell. The seeming pleasures that Mae appreciates so much in the beginning turn into a circle of hell for her after everything she does, thinks and feels becomes exposed, discussed, commented on and judged. This truly is a nightmare of any contemporary person. At the same time, the people of nowadays are very fond of visiting social networks and posting information ab
Introduction Today, information technologies have become so firmly embedded in life that it is almost impossible to imagine existence without them, and the same can be said about modern business. With the development of technologies, companies began to use various programs and services to automate and simplify the work of some processes. For instance, “Googe” does not refuse such opportunities, uses the latest innovative technologies, optimizes, and accelerates the work of IT processes, and rationally allocates resources in the activities. Consequently, the company has become a multinational leader in the market for Internet services and products. Research of the IT process at “Google” is the key idea to be considered in this paper. Implementation of Information Technologies and IT Process at “Google” “Google” is known for its innovative technologies, fast and straightforward search engines, software, equipment, and progressive methods of working and doing business on the world stage. The company continues to solve its goals and objectives by introducing innovative technologies in professional activities and forming a fundamentally new management system. “Google” started small before becoming global but always tried to go beyond the usual and look at situations from different sides. The firm’s founders have always sought to explore new opportunities and develop potential, challenging traditional managerial thinking. Google is improving and keeping up with the times – employees are developing and implementing more advanced technologies based on artificial intelligence and machine learning in their services. In this case, when sorting Internet content, the firm initially began to implement algorithms for indexing information instead of hiring specialists to edit and research collections of links for specific queries (Beattie, 2020). Largely thanks to machine intelligence, the search engine has changed dramatically since its release (Costa, 2020). Such technologies help filter out spam, get the necessary information, and sort images (Costa, 2020). In addition, the company recently turned to the BERT neural network transformer model to improve its search engine (Koksal, 2019). The technical solution helps to build the search “output” in such a way that the user receives the necessary information. On the other hand, “Google Translator” is built on a similar principle, allowing users to translate texts from any living language; initially, it was a purely static machine translation. The firm’s staff took into account the existing errors, corrected them, and thereby improved the quality and reliability of translations due to the use of neural machine translation. Moreover, improved natural language processing was able to optimize the voice input capabilities in Google services. Indeed, the smooth operation of other popular products such as “Youtube,” “Google Chrome,” “Maps,” “G-mail,” and others also depend on AI and machine learning. The mechanisms qu
The United Arab Emirates are famous for their technological advancements that allowed for the significant development of the cities in the past decades. However, the government of the UAE is also concerned with sustainability and the Emirates’ ecological footprint. In the previous years, the fast-technological development of the country has led to an increase in ecological footprint per capita. However, about a decade ago, the UAE adopted the Ecological Footprint initiative, which sought to guide the government in reducing emissions and pollution through introducing clean energy sources and other developments. As a result of the project, the ecological footprint of the country has dropped by about 4 global hectares (gha) per person. Global hectares (gha) were created by the Global Footprint Network (GFN) and “provide a common basis on which to compare the biological capability of the environment to provide food and meet other essential needs, versus the demands placed by human communities on these ecological services” (“Biocapacity and ecological footprint,” 2016, p. 1). Contrary to other measurements that only measure gas emissions, water pollution, etc., gha is a measurement that offers a comprehensive look at the country’s footprint. Therefore, it is useful for evaluating the damage to the environment and comparing countries to one another. The global average footprint takes into account the impact of both developed and developing economies that have various ecological footprints. In addition, the ecological footprint of Dubai is likely to be different from the one produced by Abu-Dhabi or other Emirates. Thus, it would be possible to lower the UAE footprint to less than the global average by increasing the reliance on clean energy sources and reducing pollution further in all Emirates. However, the reduction might not be as drastic because clean energy is already widely used in certain parts of the UAE.
