Summary The individuals in the poem are trying to remind each other of what they had agreed between themselves. That they remind each other of what they had agreed themselves and that they should be one common unit working in unity and that whatever they plan, they should do it with confidence, keen, and attentiveness. The poem also states that they must be determined and ready to face any challenge. Analysis The whole of this poem is a simile that takes resemblance and comparisons of what happened and are happening now to a group of individuals. The author, Momaday in line 1 and 2 tries to bring some understanding on some of the decisions made. They draw the new decision to act in unity that is guided by determination from their previous relationship. Their statement is more of a resolution to depart from their previous way of relating to adapting to a smoother and more commonly agreed modern way of life. It is imperative that they did not formerly work in unison. Momaday in line 1 of the poem never stated what kept them from understanding the comparison of the past and the present parties’ relationship. For instance, the way they have decided to act now and henceforth helps us understand their past relationship. “That now we are as deer that walk in a single file,” implies that they have now decided to co-operate unlike in the past. This simile gives past and present practices, as it is indicated by, “In a single file, with heads high, with ears forward, with eyes watchful, with hooves always placed on firm ground,” is descriptive of the steady manner they have decided now to adopt together, unlike the past. Conclusion The poem has detailed line by line the way the parties in the poem carry themselves. “Who walk in a single file,” depicting agreement, “with heads high”’ with confidence, “with ears forward and eyes watchful,” are implying keenness. The last line, “with hooves always placed on the ground in whose hooves always placed firm in their relationship. Implies that they cannot be shaken off their focus easily, but they can maneuver any challenge with ease.

Hence, the owners of the two companies had thought about how to improve their business in the global market but started by taking some steps in the local setup through merging their companies into a large one that could overcome the challenges and pressure of the global market. Hence, they acted locally but were aiming at penetrating the global market.   * Creativity, Innovation & Dynamic Change The newly formed company could be able to achieve a higher level of business through creation of more advanced ad technologies and increased scales hence meeting the expectations of the market and so increasing their competitiveness through increased creativity and innovation. The two companied had hence taken a step of fulfilling a dynamic change through their merge so as to thrive well in th
Assessments of student learning are usually accompanied by tension and nervousness, as they are often rigorous and perceptively hard. Most education systems around the world are made in a progressive tier that narrows don approaching the higher echelons of intellectualism. This requires a means of reducing the number of students that make it to the top of the pyramid. This led to a conception of the separation of grain from chaff theory. Education came to sum up to assessment which acted as a sieve that separated the boys from men in a Darwinian-like survivor is one able to adapt and thus succeeds. This led to the setting of examinations that were only able to allow those intellectually advantaged to climb the pyramid. Assessments were also taken as gatekeepers to college and advanced education. It was meant to gauge those who are supposedly fit to consume the refined knowledge that lies beyond elementary education. Thus, assessment became rigorous and hard to keep excesses out. Colleges had capacities and therefore, to get the red line that accommodates the capacity of the colleges’ assessment was used to, draw this difficult line. Assessment, however, was made to be able to gauge the progress of internalization and learning. Quite contrary to its application, it is meant to measure the progress of students and not discriminate then according to their intellectual abilities or keep them out of college (Rettig, 2004, p.97). Assessment should be done to gauge the strong areas and the weak ones of students so as to understand them better and develop more effective ways off administering education to them. Assessments are also meant to inspire hard work among students. When assessments are given students, can evaluate their progress in education, therefore, the purpose is to improve. It allows them to set up goals and strive to achieve these goals through making more effort in class work. In this way, assessments become necessary. In the contemporary world, assessment has been revolutionized as several researches have enriched education and teaching methods. The realization that talent can interplay with education and improve intellectualism has been incorporated in education presently. Understanding of complications like autism and the development of teaching methods that accommodate these situations have led to a re-evaluation of education itself. Key among the re-assessed factors is difficult assessment (Rettig, 2004, p.97). Assessment has been re-evaluated to suit contemporary needs and thus pin pointing that difficult and rigorous assessments are unnecessary if education is to be effectively imparted. Assessments should not be something that makes students nervous if it is to be worthwhile. A simple approach to assessments besides tests can be adopted. Tests should be relatively seen as ways of evaluation for both students and stakeholders. It should not turn into a do or die situations, which condemns and disco
Architects use their imagination, ideas, and power of vision to meet practical and aesthetic needs of society. They also try to create constructions that would render their individualism corresponding to the requirements of time. In this regard, two articles – Louis Sullivan: Growth of the Idea. From Auditorium to Bank presented by Boudreaux (1993) and Louis Sullivan after Functionalism written by Lewis (2001) – represent these issues while discussing the creative work of Louis Sullivan, an outstanding architect who was called the “the father of skyscraper”. Hence, the first article discusses the role of people and functionality in constructing the building where the priority was given to an interdependent tandem of structure and ornament. In contrast, the second article provides a different interpretation of the ornament, although both texts are dedicated to relations between function and form. In the article Louis Sullivan: Growth of the Idea , Boudreaux puts forward the assumption that ornament was the chief characteristic of the building defining its function and practical usage. Moreover, it is the most powerful means for disclosing the uniqueness and integrity of a construction. In order to interpret this idea, the author puts an emphasis on the two buildings created by the architect – the Chicago Auditorium and the National Farmers Bank in Owatonna. Hence, his first creation was a real calling to the conventional Gothic architecture, an opposition to right and strict forms. According to the author, this was a first attempt to introduce ornamentation as an expression of identity. Further in the article, the author have provided a comparative analysis of Auditorium, his earlier work, and the Bank, a more mature architecture to show the growth of his experience and techniques in rendering the role of ornament. The author describes that the construction completely differs from the Sullivan’s first brainchild, but still the chief idea was still preserved. Although the bank was constructed in a more moderate style with minimum use of ornaments, its form managed to express the building function and role in society. In general, the author implies that although both constructions are different in form, they still preserve its integrity and explicitly express their function with regard to their forms. In contrast, the second article Louis Sullivan after Functionalism written by Lewis (2001) reveals another idea about the role of ornaments in constructing building. In particular, the author insists on the idea that Sullivan applied to ornament in order to combine personal task and individualism with technological progress and social needs. More importantly, the authors critically approach to evaluating the function of ornaments that triggered the emergence of modernists tendencies in the twenties centuries. In the article, Lewis provides several conclusions while considering the place of ornaments in Sullivan’s creative work. First, the author attempts to define what means this approach for the architect and how he applies it in his work. Second, Lewis presen
Introduction In recent years, the use and implementation of value co-creation increased significantly, presenting a new opportunity for enriching customer experience. According to Prahalad and Ramaswamy (2002), this concept refers to the idea of collaboration and interplay between a customer and a service provider. Cossío-Silva et al. (2016) and Chen and Wang (2016) emphasize that value co-creation can positively impact the behavioral loyalty of customers, yet they state that there is insufficient knowledge in the given field regarding the consequences. In this connection, it is important to study the contemporary academic literature and understand the potential of value co-creation. Exploring Value Co-Creation Literature The tremendous use of value co-creation is largely associated with the shift of attention from the goods-centered view of marketing to a service-centered one. The emergence of the Internet (Web 2.0) and social media are two more prerequisites and drivers of the cooperation between customers and service providers. The service-dominant (S-D) logic implies that the given term can be regarded as metaphorical and offers a new conceptualization, considering value co-creation as joint actions (Grönroos 2012). The value proposition is another issue studied by a range of articles that present it as a promise of a firm to deliver products and communicate. In turn, the value proposition also includes the fact that customers are aware of this delivery and ready to collaborate. The latter is discussed by Dong et al. (2016), who state that low readiness leads to negative outcomes. The meaningful guidelines are provided by Eisingerich, Auh, and Merlo (2014): to increase customer participation readiness, they assume the use of the word of mouth to build a stronger link between customers and companies. However, Grönroos (2012) clarifies that mere feedback is insufficient to stimulate a consumer to repurchase, but preparation for using customer feedback is a promising strategy that can transform transactional customers into loyal fans. The effective internal support system is rationally regarded as necessary to process inputs from purchasers and provide them with actionable information (Plé 2016). In terms of the engagement model, customers and firms are viewed as interconnected networks, in which clients want to be active co-contributors in crafting the products and services (Terblanche 2014). For example, customers can rate through online markets and develop products via feedback. The role of customer participation and engagement presents the most extensively explored theme. The identified engagement model can be challenged since the transformation of customer emotions is a complicated psychological process. To understand what drives a customer to take part in value co-creation, Bharti, Agrawal, and Sharma (2014) conducted the study among the bottom of the pyramid (BOP) customers and found that relationship with the solution, interaction, and the level of dependence are three factors that la
Philosophy is a developing science, full of difficult questions concerning the nature of a human being. One of such problems is the philosophy of human conduct. Exactly this aspect of human conduct inspired this paper. Understanding of this problem seems to be impossible without psychological explanation of human behavior. Also, the philosophy of human conduct deals with ethics and moral principles. The aim of the paper is to reveal the nature of human conduct from the philosophical point of view. Thus, to achieve the aim, this paper is interested in both psychological and philosophical aspects of human behavior. Proceeding to the next part of the paper, one thing should be explained. In terms of this problem, the word “behavior” means psychological aspect, and the word “conduct” means philosophical aspect; in the general context, they are synonyms. Human behavior is always in the scope of psychology. Human beings are biological creatures with their own individual psyche, nervous system, temper and behavior. According to Descartes, the human organism is a complex machine; its elements are interdependent and tightly connected (Gleitman 15). That is why, the organization of a human being is associated with a mechanism; its details fulfill their own function, and failure of one of the details leads to general failure if corresponding measures are not assumed. Nowadays, psychologists “agree with Descartes that much of behavior can be understood as reactions to outside events: The environment poses a question and the organism answers it” (Gleitman 17). The chain of stimuli leads to action sequence: reception, transmission-integration, and reaction. The nature of human behavior is based on nerve cell and nerve impulse. As all people are different, they have different nervous system that create different behavior. According to general psychology, motives direct people’s behavior (Gleitman 55). Owing to the nervous system, there are positive and negative psychological experiences. Such emotional states as fear (motivated or unmotivated), rage, anxiety, distress, apathy, hostility, etc. are realized by means of negative impulses. Positive impulses, in contrast, are reflected in enthusiasm, interest, joy, satisfaction, love and others. Proceeding from the information stated above, there appear some logic questions. What conditions person’s
Abstract This paper aims to discuss the staffing supply-chain management (SSCM) model that was worked out by John Boudreau and Peter Ramstad. In particular, it is necessary to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of SSCM and compare this approach with already existing measurement systems. Furthermore, this report will show possible relations between SSCM and job forecasting strategy, developed by Jean Phillips and Stanley Gully. This discussion will identify the main difficulties in measuring the effectiveness of staffing and outline the best practices which may be adopted by the companies. Introduction Managers and scholars agree that appropriate staffing is the key to success and continuous growth for any organization. However, many companies struggle to evaluate the results of this process, mostly because these results do not always have numerical representation. Very often the assessment is based only on such criteria as cost or time per hire. However, such measurement systems do not reflect the complexity of staffing as the main goal of HR management is to find skilled and motivated personnel and the quality of recruitment cannot be always assessed by quantitative methods. In their case study John Boudreau and Peter Ramstad advance their own approach, which is called staffing supply-chain management (SSCM) grid (2001, p 16). This strategy is designed to align the HR management of an enterprise with its strategic goals. Its major task is to improve recruitment and retention techniques in the firm. Staffing supply-chain management On the whole, this approach is based on the idea that staffing can be compared to supply-chain management because supply-chain analysis focuses on such parameters as the quality of inputs, their reliability, failures rates, compliance with the companys standards etc. The HR manager should pay attention to the same parameters, though many of them fail to do so (Boudreau & Ramstad, 2001, p 7). The authors believe that the evaluation should be conducted following the long-term objectives of the organization. Boudreau and Ramstad single out such aspects as cost and time of activities, volume, diversity, value impact of talent. In addition, they single out the major stages in staffing process, namely: planning, recruiting, screening, selecting, offering and landing (2001, p 16). Their major point is that the main phases of staffing must be connected with their effects on the organization, its profitability, the relationships with the clients, performance, and so forth 1 . Traditional measuring systems assess the effectiveness of staffing according to quantitative characteristics such as yield or the percentage of offers, accepted by the candidates (Bechet, 2008). Moreover, the management attempts to estimate the expenses spent for the recruitment of an employee (Ployhart et al 2009). Nonetheless, they overlook those steps which have to be taken in order to find a suitable worker. This is why the model, proposed by Boudreau and Ramstad is much more advantageous. Most importantly, unlike traditional
Abstract The general objective of this paper was to investigate consumer behavior towards the impact of text marketing to the real estate market in China. The paper checked in the past and current writing to introduce the hypotheses. This study utilized both primary and secondary information. Primary information is whereby the analyst gathers direct data that does not as of now exist in any structure. The primary information was gathered from a sample of 200 members utilizing questionnaires. The auxiliary information involves the utilization of current information or data. Secondary information was utilized as a part of the writing survey, whereby the past information/data were utilized to exhibit the speculations of this examination. The information was examined utilizing different statistical tools. The outcomes uncovered that most of the members concurred or firmly concurred that quality text marketing had a great impact in convincing the customers to make a purchase. Regarding this study, various customers are rational; they would wish to know all the more around a real estate and develop a perspective/association with the real estate firm before going to purchase an asset. Smart purchasers can, along these lines, be compressed in three stages, for instance, knowing, adding to a demeanor and executing the activity of procurement. Introduction Background information Consumers acquire real estate properties for a different purpose. Some consumers buy houses because they have married, some of them for residence, and some consumers for investment. The real estate purchasing motivations vary due to the various requirements of the consumers. People will still get a real estate property, even if the price is high. This normally happens if they are in urgent need. The consumers are also influenced by other consumers’ recommendations and suggestions. When one consumer gets positive feedback from another consumer regarding the quality and price of one particular real estate property, she/he will also conduct similar decision making to acquire the real estate property. But it is still not well known how these factors affect the consumers’ decision making regarding their consumption behavior. There is no certain research on to what extent these motivations would affect their purchasing behavior. Therefore, there is a need for more research to gain more understanding of how consumer motivations influence their decision making. China is encountering quick improvement in its financial development. All commercial enterprises are confronting extraordinary open doors concerning their business improvement. The land market in China is additionally growing quickly. Amid the most recent two dec
Introduction There has been a resurgence of interest in the relation between science and Islam across history in Islamic states during the last fifty years. Upon gaining independence, several Muslim nations have failed to align their religious traditions with Western concepts of research and schooling (Chinnici 23). The educational systems of a significant number of Muslim states are based on so-called secular Western learning. Consequently, their societies have a generational gap, with traditional Islamic education confined to religious groups on the one hand and contemporary Western education in secular colleges, universities, and schools on the other. Education is perceived as a means of acquiring practical expertise and technological improvement to advance financi
