Introduction The telecommunication industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world today (Lou & John 2010). This has been made possible by the rapid development in technological innovations and production of equipments capable of supporting the latest technology. Apple Inc. is one of the world’s leading technological companies. The company has been at the forefront in technological innovations in the world today. The company has in the recent past recorded key developments in this sector. Among them is the invention of the Iphone and the iPad, two of the company’s flagship projects. These devices have received worldwide recognition and acceptance among the consumers. As a result of this, the company has recorded high sales volumes over the past few years. Among the two innovations, it is noted that iPad has recorded tremendous success as compared to the Iphone. Technology has been viewed by many people as the driving forces behind most economies thus its worldwide recognition. The use of devices such as laptops, tablets and smart phones have thus become a common phenomenon in almost every company and institution in the world today (Domenec & Manuel 2006). Almost every company and organization has an information technology department in the world today. The department is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that information flows freely and effectively in the organization. This trend has encouraged the entry of many companies into the industry with the aim of satisfying the economy’s demand for these devices. There are several companies in the ICT industry in the world today. These are involved in the production and supply of hardware and software to support the industry. These are companies such as those involved in the manufacture of computers, phones and other such appliances. Others are involved in the provision of services such as internet, phone connectivity among others. Example of such companies includes Vodafone, MTN, Samsung and Motorola among others. Among the most successful of these companies is Apple Inc. This company has operations in almost all countries in the world. As such, it can be said that the company is enjoying a worldwide market. This paper seeks to analyze Apple Inc., a leading company in the information technology industry (Jon & Joanne 2006). The author will apply several strategies in this analysis. These include the use of macro- frameworks’ analysis, Porter’s 5 forces and the Industry (ILC) theory. These strategies will be used to analyze the competitive forces and strategic issues shaping the Smartphone and tablet industry in the world. The author will also pay close attention to Apple Inc. as a company. The role of stakeholders as well as their impacts to the company and to the world economy will also be put into consideration. Finally, the author will conclude
Description of the reform policy Appraisal of a significant primary health care reform in Australia Mooting has taken the centre stage towards the delivery of Primary Health Care (PHC) in Australia. As such, a new system that is multidisciplinary in nature is being supported. The new system has subsequently expanded the responsibility and job description of the nursing fraternity. Hence, they have been assigned very critical lines of healthcare duties that are also quite demanding (Kringos et al. 2010, p.63). Will the new system benefit the public? Will the nursing fraternity be overworked at the expense of doctors? Most health experts have noted that the centric system in Australian hospitals has not played its role fully bearing in mind that there have been gross shortages of the workforce. Besides, the national public hospitals have faced their own share of crises due to the inability of the healthcare system to meet the growing demand of healthcare recipients. There is a growing number of patients that these hospitals cannot manage easily. Needless to say, reform is needed in the delivery of healthcare services to the growing population. Medical experts argue that priority areas should include improved healthcare services and promotion campaigns (Kringos et al. 2010, p. 55). The main reform agenda should focus on the improvement of a multidisciplinary healthcare system and consequently avoid the current situation whereby government doctors may possibly be enjoying a monopoly in the delivery of healthcare. In addition, it is evident that healthcare experts, especially those in the nursing fraternity, understand that quality healthcare delivery in this country is still a struggle due to low bed capacity occasioned by high demand for healthcare services. In any case, additional funding should be injected in the healthcare system in order to boost the level of healthcare delivery. The reform process should involve both the consumers and clinicians. The government has been lobbied before being persuaded by myriads of alliances and by governmental organizations to adopt rapid reforms. For example, a recent meeting was held by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) which promised to work towards integrating healthcare systems and improving overall access to quality healthcare by the population. There are those who argue that the current system is quite dysfunctional largely due to poor funding and mismanagement. Access and Equity The main role of Australian Federal government’s main role is to disburse a sum of thirty billion dollars to assist in running healthcare facilities. The money
Throughout the 19th century, America managed to achieve swift economic growth. However, technical and economic advancements often went ahead of social development, which created severe tensions in American society. Those tensions — inequality, massive immigration, racial segregation, gender prejudices, and poor labor conditions, led to the emergence of the Progressive Movement. As an umbrella term, “Progressive Movement” encompassed various groups, which offered their solutions to the social problems of their time. The field of their activities was quite broad: from investigative journalism (Muckrackers) and women’s suffrage (National American Women Suffrage Association) to efficient resource management (Conservationists) (Goldfield et al. ch.21.1). In that regard, the groups within Progressive Movement acted like trailblazers since they were the first to address problems, many of which are still relevant today. Therefore, the positive impact of the Progressives cannot be denied. However, progressive ideas had one particularly interesting aspect: they found firm supporters on the top level of U.S. politics. Suffice to say that Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson — two consecutive U.S. Presidents at the beginning of the 20 th century, widely used Progressivism in their agenda. Wilson’s case presents more interest for the discussion because his use of Progressivism led to its culmination and subsequent collapse (Goldfield et al. ch.21.5). Wilson created the cornerstones of the current U.S. economic system, such as the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Trade Commission, to bring in limited government control (Goldfield et al. ch.21.5.2). However, his approach to Progressivism was relatively narrow, as he neglected the other aspects of the Progressive Movement: woman suffrage, abolition of child labor, and racial equality (Goldfield et al. ch.21.5.2). Only the impending perspective of possible defeat in the 1916 presidential elections forced Wilson to expand progressive reforms out of strictly economic scope. For instance, Wilson reache
The qualities that apply to high-performance teams include thorough preparation, egoless cooperation, and innovative strategy. Thorough preparation shows in the way the team takes time to learn new methods relating to their work to reduce the overall time it takes to service a car in the racetrack. Egoless cooperation comes about from the perceived equality of all team members. The team works together in such a way that there is no ego related conflict within the team. The team achieves this by sharing responsibilities and rewards, including the prize money, and money earned from personal activities using the team’s name. The third element is innovative strategizing, which shows in the teams’ involvement in developing new ways of managing the pit stop. As a new pit crew chief, I would expect cooperation rather than competition, role specialization, and loyalty. As a team, the most valuable quality is cooperation (Flannes & Levin, 2005). It is the fundamental character of any team effort. Cooperation is the reason for the establishment of teams because it avails a varied skill set that no single person possesses. Secondly, role specialization will be one of the desirable qualities to find in the team because the team is not new. As teams stay together for a while, they should make it possible for each member to discover their true potential as a member of the team. There are functional roles and other roles that come about because of personality. All these roles play a part in the life of the team. The third expectation will be that there will be a high level of team loyalty. As a team operating in a highly competitive environment, loyalty is an important quality because of the need to keep the team’s secrets. It is important to start by settling in as quickly as possible. The new leader will need to learn the team’s culture as quickly as possible because the team is already an entity. As a high-performance team, it is also likely that the team has a high degree of team cohesion, which can be an entry barrier (Flannes & Levin, 2005). Secondly, the new leader needs to find out quickly the hierarchy and organization of the team to know how the team works. This knowledge is invaluable when assessing how best to improve the performance of the team. The idea is to retain what works for the team while uncovering areas where there may be deficiencies. The new leader is ready to bring about changes only after identifying the things that work for the team and those that do not. One of the qualities that distinguish high-perf
The entrepreneurial approach has become the spirit of the times in modern organizations. A growing trend in many corporate cultures is to nurture entrepreneurs and encourage them to have an entrepreneurial spirit. This report presents a single sample study and analysis of the entrepreneurial journey, focusing on the United States company which operated for over five years. A two-days interview provided relevant information for the whole process. The collected information is further presented and analyzed using academic articles, literature, and models. Key Findings   * The Entrepreneur initially faced a dream age of learning, and after graduating and quitting her job, she started the entrepreneurial journey.   * The partnership helps to ease the financial difficulty that a new organization may face.   * Experience, skills, and creativity are significant elements for escalating the chances of entrepreneurial success.   * Networking, such as using social media platforms, plays a vital role for entrepreneurs. Introduction An entrepreneur is a significant person who has the primary role in all economic activity. The entrepreneur can turn opportunities to profit by providing goods and services to meet customers’ needs and improving their lifestyles (McKenny et al ., 2017). This analytical report will focus on optimistic business entrepreneurs who are ready to take the risk for their resources to gain profit and hope for success in the future. Entrepreneurs are adaptive to the new market trends to have a competitive advantage over their rivals. This report will label the entrepreneur as entrepreneur X and their business partners as entrepreneur Y and Z. The SmartJewelry will be their company name for the business owners’ privacy. This report will display the pathway to success of entrepreneur X. Information for this report was gathered by interviewing both owners of the SmartJewelry company. The interview had a series of questions to collect the appropriate information for the report. The latter will include a summary of the company, explaining the main function of the SmartJewelry Company. Additionally, the report will give the background information of entrepreneur X and his pathway to success, and then provide analysis to give a complete view of the journey. A comparison of the story and present business practices, models, and literature review will be discussed. The report used the entrepreneurial process model to formulate and prepare the interview to ensure relevant information extraction (Belitsk and Desai, 2016). The relevant information will be subsequently analyzed using other academic research and articles to capture the academic terms’ report find
Introduction For a person to have a significant influence on me, he/ she would have to be somebody that has surpassed complicated tribulations and puzzles by going out of his/ her way with one strict ambition; to make this world a better place. My understanding of a significant influencer is based on such understanding because, in the current world, human life is faced by countless challenges primarily because at some point we all became selfish and took a direction of caring for ourselves not unless we stood a chance of benefiting from some good deeds to our neighbors. Brief Biography Nelson Mandela was born on the 18th of July 1918, in Transkei South Africa. He went to the University of Witwatersrand, after that qualifying in law in 1942. After two years, he joined the African National Congress and fought against the ruling party’s apartheid rule after 1948. Consequently, he went for a trial and was acquitted in 1961. Within a year, Mandela was rearrested for planning to overthrow the government with violence and sentenced to imprisonment with hard labor for five years. Latter on in 1964, his fellow ANC member was arrested, where Mandela stood another trial with them, to be sentenced for life imprisonment (Nobel foundation 1) His reputation ironically grew rapidly and steadily during his poisoned years. All over Africa and the whole world, he was looked at as being the most viable black leader in South Africa. His vigor made him the potent symbol of rebellion when the anti-apartheid movement gathered strength. He was offered freedom intermittently, but he rejected on the grounds of keeping his political position intact. He was released in 1990 and got elected the president of South Africa in 1994 after which he set out to realize the liberty and terminate oppressive policies. Significant Influences According to Stengel (1), Mandela is the closest the world has come to a secular saint. I utterly agree with him. Mandela had one big ambition in life; to make the life of black South Africans oppression- free. There were moments that he refused freedom offered to him provided he stopped causing public uproar against the apartheid rule (Nobel foundation 1). I would like the significant lessons about this single ambition and commitment that Mandela had would be to never back down from your ambitions no matter how hard discouragements come along. After studying law, Mandela immediately joined the ANC to restore fair laws to all the South Africa individuals. I can bet that there were many opportunities for him to join private firms and make big amounts of salaries while living a silent and comfortable life. With such opportunities, Mandela still decided to make the most practical and life-changing application of his career. This is a significant influence on me; life is not about being comfortable with your talent and skill; it is about using your capabilities to better the life of those who need help. Nelson Mandela Join the ANC as an arena for him to engage in peaceful campaigns against the apartheid rule. However, after his arrest, ANC was disbanded. On his first release from prison
Introduction Dell Incorporation produces and sells computers and computer-associated equipment. This paper provides suggestions on how Dell can minimise its ethical problems and improve its agency relationships. Under what conditions is it ethically defensible to outsource production to low cost producers? Labour contracting is not a restricted word that is only understood by few United States multinationals because the technique also significantly concerns other employers; put differently, it is the association between United States companies and overseas suppliers in terms of company resolutions and control. Dell, a leading computer company, may attempt to take advantage of all the suitable features of globalisation, such as minimising the level of labour costs and staffing to obtain intellectual resources (Geis, 2007). Moreover, Dell may want to acquire precious expertise from knowledgeable overseas employees and thus use less intellectual and physical efforts. In other words, Dell may attempt to achieve more for less. Therefore, Dell management may justify themselves for exploiting external expertise for the advantage of their company in a number of ways. In the report on its ethical responsibility, Dell may argue that it applies the electronics industry code of conduct to ascertain high working and ethical standards in all its operations. Additionally, Dell may defend outsourcing its production to low cost producers from zones with lower labour costs, such as India, by claiming full compliance of the country’s ethical requirements. The managers may contend that they use contracting from these zones owing to lack of adequate casual workers from the United States and the United Kingdom (Ip, 2008). Dell may also defend concentrating its production in regions with low labour costs by alleging that sourcing from a wide pool of countries enables the company to work with diverse people all over the globe and create an alliance with them. Another defence should be that every Dell supplier is obligated, by Dell contract terms, to function in total observance with the guidelines and regulations of the nations where it works and is mandated to implement and enthusiastically follow the EICC code of conduct. Dell should mandate its suppliers to present the recorded confirmation of their assurance to put into operation its ethical supplier standards through a self-complacency tool. Moreover, Dell management may also justify themselves that they do not depend on self-audits of their offshore contractors as a proof of ethical compliance, but they also visit these offshore factories to assess the truthfulness of their ethical reports (Ross, 2007). Most multinational companies in the UAE, however, are unwilling to train new members of
The phenomenon of Neo-Nazism is a despicable yet evident element of the contemporary social and political reality, which calls for the discussion of its source and implications. In his speech, Christian Picciolini explains the phenomenon with the help of three key theories, which include the Social Conflict Theory as an appeal to economic issues, the Modern Conflict Theory as a reference to class-related confrontations, and the Theory of Power (Pomeranz, 2017). The specified approaches allow viewing Neo-Nazism as a source of economic or cultural discontent, as well as a combination of factors. It is extraordinarily easy to view hate groups and the people that represent them as inherently evil. However, understanding their motives is the first step toward helping members of hate groups to reconsider their viewpoints. By claiming that the specified groups crave “identity, community, and purpose,” Picciolini posits that hate group members are driven by internalized contempt and the need for social belonging (Picciolini, 2017). In other words, hate group members are deeply unhappy, yet unable to recognize the source of their discontent, they channel it into hatred toward others. Introducing hate group members to change is a complicated process. Picciolini uses cognitive dissonance as the means of accessing hate group members. Specifically, Picciolini contrasts different ideas and philosophies, combining the notions an
Introduction Integrating information systems in running and managing institutions comes with organizational and individual benefits. This is the case with Westgate Gate Park Extended Care. This center acutely needs to integrate and institutionalize an information system to provide services in areas such as age care rehabilitation, sub acute core, and general managerial functions. This could be implemented as the Hospital’s Internet. It’s strongly recommended that a forward movement be initiated in proceeding with system analysis, design, and implementation. The management had sanctioned the development of an information system to address the needs of the institution. The center outsources these services to its disadvantage. Purpose The purpose of this study is to bring to light the justification of moving forward with the analysis, design, development and implementation stages of the hospital information system to enhance patient services delivery, managerial activities, and improved productivity among hospital staff along with other benefits. Current state Analysis The hospital located within the city of Peterson provides rehabilitation, transitional care for the aged sub-acute treatment for patients including hydrotherapy, fall clinics, wound management, and ACAS. It consists of a Geneatric Evaluation Management unit that provides specialized quality care services for people experiencing disability following illness or injury and complex medical issues. In addition, the Hospital allied health services, planned activity groups, personal care, care management, case management, and provision of goods and equipment. Currently, the department works within a bi0-psycho-social model and uses the skills of an interdisciplinary team including doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, dieticians and social workers. GEM 1&2 consist of patients admitted for Geriatric Evaluation and management while consists of 32 beds and caters for the needs of rehabilitation patients. Information is a key component in decision making. Real time information retrieval and access is critical in assisting health staff make timely and appropriate decisions concerning medical cases. Castro and Mylopoulos (2004) see these complex systems as providing timely access to information in a health care environment. According to the case study, He
