I consider myself an excellent virtual communicator that has enough skills to maintain sound communication in the virtual organization. The program manager plays the role of supervisor and capable mitigator who avoids conflicts, especially inter-cultural, and enhances team performance with the help of adequate communication strategy (Curlee & Gordon, 2013). To improve communication effectiveness, I, as a program manager, would establish regular communication both with individuals and the program team using modern social media tools. For instance, messengers can be applied for instant textual contact with particular employers, while Zoom may be an excellent platform for weekly meetings with the group. During those meetings, the manager has to encourage honest reporting of subordinates, which increases transparency and trust within the group. The program manager should establish an atmosphere of engagement; thus, it is essential to devote time to interact individually with team members. To keep stakeholders abreast of progress, problems, and control the communications plan should define all of them and envisage a proper communication method or channel. The stakeholder matrix would assist in outlining their roles, contact information, and participation level. Employees will enjoy a shared chat room from which they receive updates and ask for input, while sponsors will receive regular emails reporting on the current project stage. The plan includes two-way communication; hence, stakeholders have a chance to ask all possible questions. Online schedules should be timely updated to make all involved in the project aware of their roles and deadlines. Although businesses shift towards virtual work arrangements, face-to-face communication is still essential. Battiston et al. (2017) argue that face-to-face interactions at the workplace between employees and managers contribute to better productivity, especially in higher pressure conditions. Thus, regular physical meetings with stakeholders may be organized to enhance cooperation, trust, and goal alignment. In terms of remote employees, they can be reached by video-conference tools. If team members fail to avoid conflict, and the organization’s culture does not automatically mitigate it, the project manager should interfere using face-to-face communication to decompose its essence and define an appropriate solution. The best strategy here is to find a compromise that settles the personality differences of team members. A good program manager applies both face-to-face and virtual communication techniques to establish and maintain internal communicati
Healthcare organizations need to have a well integrated and managed information system for proper running. Adequate data and managed information is useful to the healthcare personnel in making appropriate decisions. This is required when caring for patients and when running and managing healthcare organizations. It is required in filing of documents, in meeting the regulatory requirements, communicating with the organizational plans, as well as in accrediting the organizations. With proper accessible information systems, clinicians are able to easily assess the status of the patients, give proper treatment, have a proper plan for patient care and educate the family members and the patients on how some medical conditions are managed. The quality, medical outcomes and healthcare services cost can be well evaluated by medical directors using the patients’ information. The major purpose of integrated information in the healthcare is to enable effective and efficient job performance by the health professional and practitioners through proper management of the information. However, this has not been the case and information in the healthcare organizations has been inadequate and not integrated. The paper gives situations in which lack of integration of information systems with clinicians’ workflow can lead to inadequate patient care, reduced physician productivity, or poor patient satisfaction with an HCO’s services. It also identifies and discusses the challenges and limitations of two methods for improving process integration. When a patient’s medical records are not integrated in the HCOs, this can lead to inadequate patient care. During an emergency the information of a patient’s treatment records and status may not be available to the physicians. The patient may be unconscious and in need of immediate medical attention. A patient’s treatment records and allergies history may be unavailable to the doctor administering the treatment (Waegemann et al, 2002). This may cause complications if the patient is given medication or injections that are allergic to them compromising the physician productivity as well as the satisfaction of a patient. Inpatients usually receive medical attention based on the availed medical report. However, a patient may be taken to a rehabilitation center or a nursing home where the medication that was administered is cut off because of lack of integrated medical information. This jeopardizes the health of the patient as well as the ethics of the medical practitioners. Some patients require medical follow up if they have medical conditions that are complicated like cardiovascular disease or diabetes. If the patient’s medical history is not available and the patient transfers to another state, a physician’s efforts may be compromised leading to poor productivity. According t
The Matrix tries to bring out the truth, and the reality of issues that affect the world. The film portrays social difference and inequality, through man and the machine. The machines symbolize change through a technological revolution. Man represents dynamism through social structures. A man may be related to social dynamics. The machines reflect the reliance by a man on technology. The film shows that economic problems may reveal social differences and inequalities in certain cultures. In the world today, certain countries are more economically powerful than others. The Matrix also reveals that cultures, traditions, and beliefs may be linked to many nations. The film evaluates the concept of appearance. The machines are representative of technology. The Agents have the freedom to control the making of the film and are responsible for all the program’s systems. This study sees the Agents as white men who believe that they are infallible. Competing visions of the characters The Agents see the world as dynamic. They need to compete for the minimal available resources. They tend to be oppressive and want to acquire power by force. Agents can impose their ideas on humans at will. They can take over the “mental space” of the Matrix’s users. They do not want Neo to acquire knowledge on the Matrix. This aspect brings out their authoritarian characteristics. They want to take over the solar power and use it to access the matrix. Neo and Morpheus see society from a religious perspective. They want to live in a society that upholds values in spite of technological changes. Morpheus symbolizes rebellion and dishonesty. He views the world as unfair to him. He believes in “hacking” into the Matrix to free captives for his advantage. How characters build collective movements of individuals to support and enact their vision of society? The Agents resemble three men who operate as a group for their advantage. They build their power by being together. This aspect enables them to confront Morpheus concerning the main computer in Zion. They manage to fight Neo due to their numerical advantage. They try to prevent him from accessing information on the Matrix. Morpheus and Neo also form a group to protect themselves against the Agents. Morpheus appears to provide useful insights to Neo regarding the Matrix. The two visit the Oracle together. Morpheus allows the agents to detain him to let Neo and his group escape. Neo and Morpheus represent humans who are opposed to technological domination of the world. Social order is disrupted by the incessant wars between the humans and the machines. Technology seems to compete with the social order in this society. The machines and the Agents bring disharmony among humans. This paper suggests that technology needs to be adopted with caution because it may be manipulated by man for his advantage. Status and resources belong to the most powerful, like the Agents in this society. Neo and Morpheus only seem to be looking for ways of outdoing the Agents to get power by stealing secret codes. The characters build their collective movements through the use of language and influence. The
Home shelters are not an entirely unacceptable idea in themselves as they go a long way in solving some social problems among a clique of people. However, it comes along with a number of challenges with far reaching consequences. Statistically, an unplanned increase in the human population will put a strain on the social amenities present in the area. The establishment of a home will lead to population explosion in the region. However, the homes will not come along with an extra hospital, school or even places of worship. This will, therefore, overstretch the existing facilities as a result of congestion. This will then compromise service delivery to the people. It is noteworthy that the social placing and classification of the area will also be lowered, as a result. The population increase will come along with numerous social vices. Cases of burglary, banditry, theft, drug and substance abuse are most likely to be on the rise. This will provide a perfect ground for insecurity to breed because the area will now become a crime magnet. The growth and development of children will also be affected. With such kinds of vices in their vicinity and within their reach, they will easily tend to acquire them. The implications of the home to its neighborhood may in the long run outweigh the home’s benefits. The putting up of a home will have a devastating effect on the value of property in the surrounding areas. Most of the homes are low income housing development projects covering a significant ground space. The resultant effect will be a dip in the property value of the neighborhood as it will be associated with the comparatively low home value. This will impact negatively on the property development in the area as they will stand to gain little if anything on the sale of the homes. The buyers will also not be forthcoming due to the other negative effects that the home comes along with it. The real estate owners will also have nothing to smile about the home shelter establishment. Most tenants will tend to move away due to the change in conditions of the area and subsequent problems that the home development comes along with it. After working so hard to develop these properties, this will then be unrewarding to them. The investments and development in the area as pertains to real estates will, therefore, be significantly curtailed. The effects on the environment that the home shelter will have can also not be ignored. Pollution, ranging from noise to water to soil in the area will be on an up
Introduction There is no doubt that over time the issue of compulsive buying has attracted the attention of public policy advocates and academicians interested in studying consumer behaviours (Kuzma & Black, 2006). Scholars have established a number of characteristics that are eminent in compulsive buyers and they include: majority are females, documentation of the concepts is recent despite the fact that it might have occurred back in 1900s, the present increase of compulsive buying is partially attributed to increased emphasis on and availability of materials possession in consumer culture, people use product to enhance their identity, hence, increased addiction of buying certain products (Wesson, 1991). Since buying of goods and services is linked to various factors, this paper tries to examine the relationship between pricing and compulsive buying. The research was carried out and co-authored by Kukar-Kinney, Monika, Ridgway, Nancy and Monroe Kent. It was published in 2011 in New York by Elsevier Inc. It is worth noting that these researchers have published several work in the field of consumer behaviour. This, thus, provides a clear background about their credibility in carrying out this research. Their assumptions and generalization can be relied upon. Over the years, it has been shown that compulsive buying behaviour has been increasing not only in the United States of America but also in the entire world (Vyse, 2008). Previous scholars have linked the concept of compulsive buying with a number of factors such as low self-esteem, materialism, loneliness, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors among others. This study analyzes the association between the tendency of consumers to engage in compulsive buying and their response to changes in the process. The study is based on a survey of consumers of internet clothing retailer. The group intends to critically analyze this paper in totality providing all the processes from the development of hypothesis on the basis of existing literature, the methodology used, results and discussion. With this, it will be possible to suggest any improvement, if indeed, they will be for future studies in the same file. It is worth mentioning that to accomplish this, the following will be thoroughly scrutinized, problem statement and purpose, review of the literature and theoretical framework, hypotheses, sample, research design, instruments, data analysis and conclusion, implications and recommendations. Problem statement and purpose of the study It is worth noting that the authors applied a lot of effort in ensuring that it is possible for readers to fully understand the context behind their study. By approaching the study from a wider perspective, the authors have prepared the readers in understanding what their work entails. In the introduction section, they have defined compulsive buying. They went further in briefly defining the major characteristics associated with compulsi
Introduction Human life is full of uncertainties that occur as a result of their interference with the ecosystem. However, sometimes these happenings occur due to forces beyond human intervention. In this case, human beings have little or no control over calamities that tend to make human life unbearable. These calamities include earthquakes, landslides, mudslides, floods, lightning, and tsunamis. This research paper will focus on tsunamis and their effects on human beings. Purpose of the Study This research paper will explore four key areas that are associated with tsunamis. The first aspect outlines the characteristics of tsunamis including how they are formed, travel, move, and their sizes. The second point involves a study on the tsunami that hit Japan in 2011 and its impacts on the victims. The third aspect involves how a nuclear plant ought to prepare to handle tsunamis as soon as they occur. Lastly, this paper will explore the necessary training that nuclear plant employees should undergo in order to handle tsunamis and their impacts. Problem Statement This research paper aims at answering the following questions. Why do tsunamis continue to occur despite efforts to try to control them? Are responsible parties doing enough to fight against the effects of tsunamis? Are nuclear plant personnel trained to handle tsunamis? Significance of the Study This study will enable the audience to know how tsunamis are formed and their characteristics. The paper will give an insight into the tsunami that occurred in Japan in 2011 and the resultant effects it had on the environment. In addition, this paper will identify the necessary safety equipment for emergencies at a nuclear power plant located near costs. Lastly, this paper will address the necessary training and awareness programs that will enable nuclear power plant staff to handle tsunamis and their effects. Methodology and Literature Review The information presented by this research paper is obtained from online sources that include the national geographic website and other online environmental-related organizations. Other information is obtained from Geography books used by various learning institutions. Scope and Limitations This research is based on the findings recorded in various forms ranging from websites, books, and video recordings of the occurrence of tsunamis. It focuses on all aspects that relate to tsunamis and to some smaller extent the ocean tides and earth movements that have a link with tsunamis. However, the paper is limited to nuclear power plants as emergency response units to tsunamis even though there are other units that take part in the fight against tsunamis and their effects. Procedure and Time Frame The results presented in this paper are collected from literature presented in various forms since 426 BC from the Greek’s understanding of tsunamis to the recent discussions on the findings of meteorologists. However, for purposes of understanding the tsunami, this information is not presented in a chronological manner. Analysis, Reliability, and Validity The information presented in this research paper has been analyzed a
Intelligence by definition refers to the ability to apply reason, grasp information quickly, comprehend complex ideas, adapt to circumstances and gain knowledge from experience (Kouyoumdjian, 10). The question of whether intelligence is natural from birth or natural throughout the growth stages just never seems to go away, with some people arguing that intelligence is solely dependent on our natural capabilities while others argue that intelligence can be acquired through the process of learning. Hence the question of nature-nurture in the study of psychology arises (Kouyoumdjian, 12). Nature can therefore be termed as one’s ability while nurture can be said to be the opportunities presented to an individual. Our intelligence has been known to be the major determinant of the way we interact with the environment with the level of processing being measured in Intelligent Quotient (IQ). The use of the catch phrase nature versus nurture has been known to be a popular version of comparing heredity to environment (Gregory, 32). On the question of nature or innate abilities, it is known that traits like eye color and hair color are determined by a certain coding of the genes. The debate has been taken further with the scientists arguing that individual traits such as intelligence, aggression and even one’s personality are determined by one’s DNA (Gregory, 34-5). Caucasians of predominantly European ancestry are known to score relatively high on the IQ test, while those of black ancestry are known to score 15% lower than the whites. In a typical comparison of two groups which display a significant difference on the test, we can look at the black Americans and American Jews. The blacks are favorites when it comes to occupations requiring low levels of intellectual capacity but high on physical prowess like sports and the opposite is true, that the Jews who display a higher level of intellect venture into fields that require intellectual capability (David, 112). This goes to show that genetics do play a big part in determining one’s level of intelligence. When it comes to the comparison of individuals in a bid to determine whether heritability plays a big role in their intellect capacity, it is important to take into account the environment they live in or grew up on. For example when correlating the IQ’s of twins, it is important to note that monozygotic twins (who grew up in the same environment) would display a degree of variance for a correlation on zygotic (fraternal) twins (David, 115). Without totally disregarding that the innate abilities of an individual play a role in determining intelligence, the proponents of the nurture theory feel that they really don’t make that much difference and only the opportunities presented by the environments in which we grow up
Extending related services and products for Coffee Bean customers The survey conducted identified that majority of the Coffee Bean Café and its competitor Starbucks’ customers are the youth and young adults. Most of them are students, office employees, and young managers. One aspect that has attracted the young generation to Coffee Bean shops in Singapore is their conducive, quiet, and unobtrusive atmosphere, which the young people seem to enjoy (Zinzius p.171). One aspect with young consumers that was also identified in the survey is that majority are not price conscious, which means that they are attracted to the Shop’s other quality services and products even if their prices may be high. At the same time, it has to be remembered that the young generation have high expectations specifically with how they communicate and gather information and their paramount desire is that the specific knowledge should be accommodated (Greenberg p.20). Young people demonstrate that they are technology-savvy where technology has become part of their product and continue to use technology for communication and personal productivity (Greenberg p.20). Statistical data have been generated, which show that 97% of young people own computer, 94% own cellphone, 76% use instant messaging (IM), 34% use websites as their primary sources of news, 49% download music using peer-to-peer file sharing, 75% have Facebook account, and 60% own some type of portable music or video device such as iPod (Greenberg p.20). Coffee Bean Shops have embraced technology by having in place Wi-Fi connectivity. Statistics from the survey indicated that there is positive correlation between customers’ frequency of visiting and conducive environment that has excellent Wi-Fi connectivity. Coffee Bean Shops have embraced technology by having in place Wi-Fi connectivity that is totally free (The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf p.1). However, with this particular technology, the Coffee Bean Shops continue to experience problems that emanate from absence of trained troubleshooters to handle the connectivity problems (The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf p.1). Given that majority of the consumers are young, hence own computers that they use to study and work while in the cafes, the customer relationship department has to move swiftly and employ a fulltime specialist with knowledge of PC and Mac. At the same time, the Cafes need to have a specialist in trouble shooting to ease consumers the problem of having to look for such specialist outside the café. Further, the cafes should institute in place 24-hour telephone system that customers with technical problems on their computers can seek assistance. The kind of assistance may include the café’s management conducting wireless specialists promptly to address the customers’ needs. Furthermore, Coffee Bean cafes have been regarded as places that provide conducive environment for studying and working. Many consumers study, work, or even hold their business and formal meetings in the c
