“Do not follow the crowd, let the crowd follow you” is a famous quote of Margaret Thatcher about Leadership (Maeh, 2018). But the real question is how to make the crowd follow you. It is the part that Margaret Thatcher left for us to decide. Having entered the XXI century, people make amazing scientific discoveries, create new generation technologies. Humanity is entering a qualitatively new phase of its development. The world is on the verge of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Many terrible diseases are successfully eradicated. The role of law in those achievements should not be underestimated. Humanity would not be able to make such progress without properly established law and regulations. The law and leadership are strongly connected notions. The law, which everyone would respect and follow, is difficult to establish. It required good leadership skills to make the crowd follow the ideology and laws that are being proposed. Leadership is primarily associated with the concept of responsibility (Harrison, 2017). If the word ‘leadership’ contains the concept of ‘responsibility,’ identified with the word ‘opportunities’ as the ability to influence, the ability to manage, the ability to create a result – it will be interesting! And if there is a lot of creativity in it, it will be easy. In the XXI century, each of us must show leadership qualities to succeed in life. However, leadership does not necessarily mean being CEO or director of a company. Leadership qualities can be demonstrated by simply obeying the law as well. By doing so, we are an example to everyone else, which is a true leadership action. We should not think that leadership is somewhere beyond our abilities. Leadership can be simple enough and is within every individual. So, let us be leaders and shape the better world we live in!
Introduction A restaurant is a place where people go to eat. Unlike a hotel, a restaurant provides only an eating place without boarding. It’s a kind of a place where those who seek to get food while enjoying their beer can pop in to without inconveniencing themselves. Once a customer establishes such a place it’s important that the management of the restaurant do its best to maintain such a customer. It’s important then that those who work in such a place be people whom clients can relate to. Different business enterprises use diverse tactics to maximize on sales. A case in example is Hooters Restaurant that employs only girls in their business. To understand their operation better it’s important to ask ourselves a few questions about them. Is Hooters’ employee selection critical to the effective implementation of its strategy? Do the job specifications for Hooters restaurant servers have a discriminatory effect against male applicants? Does Hooters management appear to have a bias against males? To answer these questions better it’s important to ask ourselves what makes up a business entity. Every business employs different tactics to attain its long and short term goal which is to make profits. When Hooters began its operations in 1983 I believe that was what they had in mind; making profits. Though the method they used to reach this goal was criticized by many people and especially the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) I highly think that they were right in the decisions they took. It’s of great importance to learn here that Hooters only employed ladies in areas where employees commonly interact with clients or commonly known as “front of the house” positions. This is the positions of waitresses, bartenders and hostesses. It’s important also to note that this was a tactic that Hooters was using to net more clients and as we can see it worked wonders.Hooters was expecting a turnover of $300 million in 1
One of the greatest and most influential men that captured the attention of both his friends and enemies, and articulated the struggle, the hunger, and the credence of African-American in the early 1960s is none other than Malcolm X. Malcolm X lived a complex and controversial life, at times landing a job of shoe-shinning, a dancer, criminal, a leader, a minister, and an icon, before his life was drastically ended by an assassins’ bullets at a tender age of thirty nine. He worked tirelessly giving speeches and educating both young and old black Americans to better their lives and create strong communities that embraces strong fabric of self actualization and independent man. Interestingly, Malcolm X is also known for using and changing his names from Malcolm Little, El Hajj Malik, Detroit Red and El-Shabazz. Most historians argue that those different names of Malcolm represented the different spheres of his live. Needless to say, Malcolm X became one of the greatest symbols of reconciliation and resistance for millions of people around the world. This study will endeavor to explore the life history of Malcolm X who was a son of a Baptist minister. The autobiography of Malcolm X is the outstandingly true story of an African-American man, and it presents the daily struggle of millions of black during the period of racial discrimination and segregation. The study will explore the transformation and individuality of Malcolm X that led him to sustain dedication and will to get education. Malcolm X autobiography unfolds a society that is plagued by discrimination and class segregation in every sphere of America society. Malcolm unveils the struggle of civil rights movements and the emergence of the Black Nationalism. The autobiography of Malcolm X give a detailed true story of Malcolm X as he struggled with the life of hustling, dope peddler and a thief to become a dynamic and influential African American leader. The autobiography captures a span of four decades from the birth of Malcolm X in May 1925, to his assassination on 21 February 1965. Malcolm X was one of the eight children of Louise Little and Reverend Earl. Like many other black American children Malcolm X was raised amidst racial prejudice and poverty stricken family. Malcolm X only attended school up to the eighth grade and he spent most of teenage life in street and prison. During the late 1950s, discrimination and racial segregation was institutionalized in every aspect of America society. Schools, neighborhoods and businesses were segregated along skin color, and the Supreme Court legalized racial segregation through allowing separate but equal treatment of both black and white citizens. Furthermore, several states in America prevented African-Americans from voting. All African-Americans experienced grave hardship during this period given their inferior status in American society (Henry and Nellie, 9). In the early 1950, Malcolm X together with several African Americans leaders organized black militancy that organized both violent and nonviolent demonstration. Malcolm believed that African American had the right to defend they society using any means necessary to gai
Introduction Homicide and sexual assaults pose a significant challenge to Canada. Places like Ciudad Juarez and other related spots experience high rates of these incidences. Preventing and controlling this related violence has born less success (Bowden & Cardona, 2010). The behavior has a firm foundation in Canada. However, the assaults and the homicide do not exist independently. The two happen because they have a high correlation to other community vices. These include drug abuse, social classes, races, and gender. In fact, gender-based violence is the most crucial issue in this community. The two vices of violence and sexual assaults have triggered artists to incorporate the themes within their artistic work. The Shadow Line is one of those artistic works. In chapter 10, it describes and portrays the relationship between homicide and other factors. In chapter 11, it describes the status of sexual assaults. In addition, it shows the relationship that exists between sexual assaults and other vices. This paper will analyze the relationship existing between the two violence and the other factors. The factors will include gender, race, substance abuse, and social class. Gender The Shadow line shows a close relationship between homicide, sexual assaults, and gender. It portrays and shows a community that does not respect women. The males are referred to as a stronger gender than men. Women should listen and obey the commands of men. They should follow the commands without reasoning or making personal judgments. Women who try to violate this social rule are subjected to homicide and sexual assaults (Gomme, 2007). For example, women activists are killed mysteriously. They receive worrying threats from organized gangs. In addition, women are not allowed to acquire financial stability. Men require them to submit and rely on men for provision. Any woman seeking to have financial stability is buried sexually. In some cases, they are raped and killed. For example, workers in the factory of Maquiladora are used as slaves. Many of the workers die as a result of sexual assaults in the process of returning home. Others are tortured in the factory and are killed by the chemical burns. In some cases, the management facilitates the death of women that have worked in the factory for a long. This is because they need to eliminate the older workers and replace them with new workers. Therefore, we can confirm that homicide and sexual assaults are strongly related to gender. Substance Abuse There is a high relationship between violence and drug abuse. The drug cartels have a high contribution in propagating sexual assaults and homicide. In this light, the drug cartels capture and abduct women and engage them in prostitution. Most drug dealers run and manage prostitution fi
Introduction The term of a CI (confidence interval) is widely used in the sphere of professional statistics. This method is intended to estimate static parameters of different graphs. Moreover, it remains a more preferable practice than point estimation if its sample volume is not extended. The following paper will discuss the meaning of a confidence interval and provide an example of where it can be observed in people’s everyday life. Discussion As it is mentioned above, a confidence interval is used to evaluate and compare the static parameters of particular graphs. This method was first invented by an American scholar, Jerzy Neyman. In turn, his theory was initially based on the conclusions of his colleague from England, Ronald Fisher. According to the developed hypothesis, it becomes clear that a confidence interval parameter of Ѳ with a random variable of X, the confidence level of p , and the following sample: (X 1 ,…,X n ) is called a bordered interval (Bonett and Wright 8). According to the given formula, the majority of independent experiments with identical CIs will demonstrate that 95% of these events have a confidence interval parameter of Ѳ, whereas the other 5% do not contain this element. Example To begin with, it would be proper to mention that the model of the confidence interval can be observed almost in every aspect of people’s daily activities. For instance, when a person is not aware of the accurate sum of money on his or her banking account but knows that it is somewhere between 4 000 and 6 000 dollars, it would be inappropriate to use the method described above. Nevertheless, if there is a need to maintain a certain amount of financial means on an individual’s banking account every month, he or she can successfully apply it. Hence, one might count the sum left on the card at the end of every day to acquire precise statistics of regular expenses. Then, it is essential to calculate all the available money at the end of a certain period (not longer than six months). This lets the account owner find the standard deviation and mean. The acquired result gives the person an understanding of the average sum he or she is likely to carry from this point. In turn, all other objects will remain equal. The analysis of all the collected statistics for every month in the past will predict its consistent tendency in the future. It is necessary to mention that the given model can be implemented in a wide range of details or daily activities. For example, it is possible to analyze tire pressure with the method of the confidence interval, money spent on entertainment, the
Subscription boxes are a rising trend in the United States of America and the practice is quickly spreading into Canada. Subscription boxes are, in many ways, like other subscription-based goods such as newsletters and journals. The only difference is that instead of papers and articles, the subscription box supplies clients with several interesting goods, small items, and artifacts, depending on the customer’s wishes. Subscription boxes typically share a particular theme – they could provide foods, collectibles, cosmetics, hygienic products, and many other things to clients. Several possible themes and combinations are nearly limitless. The appeal of this business format is that the receivers never know what they are going to get. This creates intrigue, a feeling of wonder, and surprise (Bischof, Bottger, & Rudolf, 2016). Modern businesses are expected to sell not only goods but experiences and emotions as well. This business plan proposes the establishment of a subscription box enterprise located in the Canadian city of Toronto. Company and Product Description ABox4You is a subscription box enterprise, which operates in Toronto, Canada. It provides food-based subscription boxes to its customers within the city and neighboring towns and villages. Customers are allowed to choose between three types of delivery options, including monthly, bi-monthly, and weekly deliveries. The products delivered to the subscription boxes include pastry, lollipops, chocolates, cookies, sauces, and much more. Customers are allowed to pick the goods they like and strike out products they do not want. Subscription boxes are delivered to clients via the company’s couriers and third-party delivery services. Product SWOT and Needs Analysis A SWOT analysis is a standard practice that is used in the creation of business plans. The acronym stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, which need to be identified in the process of generating a business idea (Kulp, Eastwood, Turner, Goodman, & Ricketts, 2016). Strengths Subscription boxes are a new selling format that may attract the attention of potential customers. Lack of similar services within Toronto means that aBox4You will not have any competition. The relative ease of replenishing supplies by working with local producers and retailers. Weaknesses The enterprise will require plenty of producers to promote variety in its merchandise. Also, the company will need to establish its delivery service or rely on third parties to deliver goods to its customers. Opportunities If successful, aBox4You will establish a dominant role in the budding market before any competitors even arrive on the scene. Threats If the enterprise fails, the opportunity at cla
Introduction Bilingual education put in simple terms is the use of two languages in institutions of learning. Understanding the term ‘bilingual education’ as a simple educational process would be a mistake because in reality it denotes a complex phenomenon dependent upon a set of variables, including the learners’ native language and the language of the majority, the linguistic objective of the program and the educational model chosen for creating the bi-linguistic environment. These factors are crucial in determining the kind of bilingual education to be adopted in a learning setting. This paper seeks to explore the benefits that accrue from bilingual education system and, in addition, highlights the issues surrounding such education systems. Objectives of bilingual education Well formulated bilingual education programs not only recognize and develop knowledge and skills brought to the school by learners, they are also designed to be appropriate for linguistic, cultural, as well as social developmental of the students. As such, they should possess such characteristics as clear goals for the programmes and high expectations for the learners, a curriculum comparable to contents covered in native-language-only classes, subject matter is instructed through native language, have multicultural instr
Attitude is defined as how an individual feels about a certain situation, either an object or another individual (Kusluvan, 2003). On several occasions, such feelings are influenced by the individual’s experiences with the subject among other received treatments. In other situations, however, an individual’s attitudes tend to be influenced by their bringing up. According to Daft and Dorothy (2009), most of these attitudes are acquired through different life experiences and can be changed according to the required result. Managers have several reasons for their intentions of eliminating some employee attitudes as will be discussed within this section of the paper. In connection, organizational behavior requires that an individual comprehends the roles of attitudes as it is highly valuable in the study. According to several employer surveys compiled by Walters (1996), it was established that employee attitude about work is the key shortfall among new job applicants. Such attitudes have been identified to lower the chances of employee selection during job recruitment and placement within several companies (Kusluvan, 2003). Essentially, the attitudes exposed by employees can be utilized in predicting the workplace behavior, and consequently design strategies to control the situation. In line with that, especially where employees are upset and lose their morale, managers can assert that an imposed rule caused the current behavior change. Consequently, the managers can use the resultant behavior and renegotiate issues or possibly eliminate such undermining rules to maintain employee productivity (Daft & Dorothy, 2009). In other scenarios, employee attitudes may change, and individuals will benefit by adjusting to their working environment. With the correct treatment of employees, for instance, there are high chances that such employees will develop a positive attitude towards the managers within the organization (Everard, 2008). On the contrary, where managers oppress employees by using harsh rules and inadequate compensation, such employees will likely develop negative attitudes towards the managers. As such, these attitudes help employees to adjust to the working environment, which is also an example presented for their future behaviors (Everard, 2008). Employee attitudes are usually changed through several methods, which may include reassurance, the co-opting approach, and peer influence among others. In connection, reassurance happens to be the most widely used method of changing employee attitude. This method can be defined as the act of presenting new information to the employee regarding issues that are considered negative (Walters, 1996). In that essence, the main objective would be to establish the actual cause of such an issue, reasons for getting upset, which is considered as an unnecessary attitude. Accordingly, the employee will have better information about the situation as compared to prior misinterpretations about the subject. When planning to change the attitudes of employees, this becomes the easiest barrier that can be eliminated. On some occasions, the manager
Volkswagen India is one of the recent investments by Volkswagen to tap into the human resource and market available in India. The company employs more than 2500 employees. The main issue facing Volkswagen India is talent acquisition and retention. The worse hit category of human resource is engineers. The number of engineers joining the automotive industry and remaining there is very small. Many of them go for MBA degrees or software engineering degrees after attaining their first degrees. In India, retaining engineers is becoming very difficult. The company’s plant in Pune has the capacity to assemble 110,000 units per year. The company does not manufacture the cars in India. Rather, it imports the parts and assembles them in India to derive benefits associated with labor costs, and tax reliefs. There is a lot of debate in different quarters regarding whether HR is a strategic function. Some of the debaters go as far as to claim that it is possible to do away with the HR function without consequence. These views raise serious questions in relation to the role of HR in the corporate environment. The role of HR has changed in the last two decades based on advances in the behavioral sciences and in the understanding of human motivation. During the same period, strategic management has become the basis for the management the organizations. This is the environment behind the proposal to view HR as a strategic function. For the purposes of this report, the definition of strategic HR is the activities undertaken to secure the future of a company or to give it competitive advantage. This report seeks to examine three aspects of HR in the modern corporate environment to determine whether HR can make a strategic contribution to Volkswagen India. The first aspect that is of interest to this report is change. The management of change remains one of the most challenging aspects of corporate governance. Organizations develop cultures that are difficult to break. The formation of organizational culture is not always voluntary. In many cases, culture emerges from the accepted norms and practices. The acquired habits become entrenched without deliberate direction from the management of the organization. On the question of change, the fundamental question that every HR manager needs to ponder is “do people dislike change? The answer to this question provides the basis for planning for organization change at both strategic and operational levels. It is commonly accepted that people usually resis
