What values are going to guide the airport business? The most successful strategies are those consistent with the airport culture that exists. It is obvious that the airport business has great perspectives for its further development. The existence of these perspectives is conditioned by several major concerns that regulate the functioning of the whole sphere and have a significant impact on its further development. These concerns also give rise to a number of values that guide the business. First, the security of flights should be the greatest value of any airport as it conditions the level of trust, the companys image, and a number of other important factors. Moreover, the focus on the satisfaction of the main customers needs is another value as passengers should be sure that they are the main element that determines the success of the whole business (Rankin para. 5). For these reasons, the strategy that is based on a high level of security and provides the best services to customers could be taken as the most efficient one. How far down the road should the airport look? One realizes the fact that the airport could not be placed within the city as planes and other facilities will pose a great threat to the security of people. Additionally, high buildings could make the airports functioning dangerous. In this regard, there is a tendency to build them outside the city. At the same time, this pattern introduces the problem of airport accessibility as passengers have to reach it. To solve this problem, public service vehicles and other means of transport should be used (Halpern and Graham 26). However, the airport should be placed not far from the road for vehicles to be able to deliver passengers and their luggage. That is why the creation of the airport should rest on the peculiarities of local traffic. What assumptions about the external environment underpin the airport’s strategy (regulation, the economy, resource availability, technology, competition, and the market)?. The external factors will obviously have a great impact on the functioning of the airport and its profitability. For this reason, it is crucial to create a strategic approach to the organization of the new business. Yet, it is possible to predict that the economy of the region will have a great impact on the functioning of the airport (Susman, Warren, and Ding 98). The prosperity of society conditions customers purchasing power and determines the profitability of the new airport. Additionally, the resources available for the organizers of a new business and the technologies used to align its functioning might also impact the image and determine the efficiency of the whole project. Finally, the market should also be analyzed to highlight the main competitors and create a strategy to struggle with them. What existing and new products and services will/should the airport offer or not offer? The blistering development of technologies introduces a number of new devices and services that could be used to improve the functioning of a certain co
ACME is a very potential company that has the biggest opportunity of expanding its business in the overseas markets and for this to be attained a critical analysis of the business environment in the countries of a target is mandatory. As one of the probable countries where business is done by ACME can thrive, European Union countries such as Ukraine have some of the very promising conditions for venturing into business by actually having to create opportunities from the conditions that people feel have been threats to their business ventures (Rossi and Blum, 1969). The choice that shall be made by the management team of the organization concerning committing the resources on both long term and short-term basis in Ukraine will give back to the investment returns on the company in abundance. The benefit that shall be accrual to the investment includes the availability of a bigger and extensive market that has a greater percentage of the potential of growth. Ukraine has a un exploited market and as a result, any investment venture into the economy would lead to the realization of the benefits. The market does have the potential of using the company products and the willingness to buy but these products yet they are not available in the market to meet their demands and due to this, if ACME decides to make a venture into Ukraine then it shall have the greatest percentage in returns from it. According to Joan (1999), ACMA profits and returns on the assets base would be considerable than if they did not expand that business into Ukraine and opted for the other country. The fact that Ukraine as a country is near Sweden and Europe gives it a wider market segment to rely on. The triangle of the countries does create a free market and the movement of goods within the economies would be an avenue for the growth of ACME Investment Company limited. According to Alex (2007), a free-market base does have the potential of having to create a demand that is long term for the particular products and this would be very encouraging for the future sustainability of the organization. An investment into the market by the company shall be an expansion of its customer base and hence the continuity of business in the present and future shall be certain and predictable. ACME’s choice of Ukraine as the place to commit their resources enables them to realize benefits that are beyond the other non-European countries that were investment choices but left out due to opportunity cost. Ukraine does have a bigger share of the market which is driven by profits and has a cheap workforce readily available. This is a factor that has the competitive advantage to Ukraine against any other country which is not a member state of the European Union. European nations do have the agencies that are held responsible for the welfare of the labor force and due to this the wages and salaries are determined by the body and this is considerable when compared to a nation where the labor force is being fought for by a varied number of organizations. ACME industries limited will be saved the cost of having to conduct recruitments and training of the human resources. Procedures are well stipulated
Reform Movements Introduction   * This was a time of reform, even on the international level.   * American opposed a powerful national government.   * Political and social activities were organized through voluntary organizations.   * Reformers used a variety of tactics:       + Moral suasion to convert people to their cause;       + Called for government intervention;       + Withdraw from society and create a cooperative settlement. Utopian Communities Introduction Named after Thomas More’s novel Utopia , an outline for a perfect society. Called for the reorganization of society on a cooperative basis, hoping to restore order and harmony to a world of excessive individualism. Productive property is owned by the community rather than private individuals. Most communities called for gender equality. Shakers   * Founded by Mother Ann Lee who established the first Shaker community in 1787.   * Believed God a dual personality, both male and female, and thus spiritually equal.   * Abandoned traditional family life – men and women lived separately in large dormitories.   * The numbers grew by attracting converts and adopting children from orphanages rather than natural procreation.   * The group’s name comes from their religious ceremony where men and women engage in a frenzied dance.   * Rejected private property but were economically successful, including beautifully crafted furniture. Onedida   * Founded by John Humphrey Noyes in 1848.   * Took the revivalists’ message that man could achieve moral perfection to an extreme – he and his followers were sinless.   * The community practiced “complex marriage” where any man could propose to have a relationship with any woman.   * The Oneida movement was very dictatorial.   * A committee determined which couples would be allowed to have children – a form of eugenics. Brook Farm   * More worldly communities were also established by they lasted for a much shorter period of time.   * Brook Farm was founded by transcendentalists who argued that physical well-being was required for mental well-being.   * Modeled on the ideas of Charles Fourier which called for detail planning of the lives of residents. Robert Owen   * Promoted communitariansim which combined
Introduction On 1 st December every year, the world celebrates World AIDS day which brings awareness and updates on the world AIDS statistics that have been seen throughout the year. These celebrations can be said to be fruitful in the developed world but in the developing and transitional countries, the dream is yet to be realized. The majority of the world’s HIV/AIDS cases are in Africa particularly the sub-Saharan and many of the infected have been faced with a huge challenge to live a normal life due to limitations in access to ARV drugs. These countries are poor and therefore the costs associated with these drugs are very high and unaffordable. The trade of these drugs particularly in the developing world has been a controversial subject, with many pushing for the reduction in prices which they claim are unaffordable. This paper deals with the accessibility of AIDS drugs to developing countries and answers the questions; what laws, policies, or guidelines should be established for pricing AIDS drugs sold to developing count
Introduction In a society where there exist perceptions of segregation coupled with inadequate addressing of all concerns of the society by the state, many organizations may emerge to solicit the government to take up its responsibilities. This is a major reason that led to the emergence of Muslim brotherhood organization. It has since then emerged as the largest social- religious organization in the modern era. The main objective of initiating Muslim Brotherhood was to principally preach Islam, teach the population that was illiterate and launch various commercial enterprises that were believed would benefit the masses. However, as the organization’s influence continued to grow, the organization started to oppose the rule of British across Egypt in 1936. In this context, the group started to change from being a religious-social organization to a political organization. Viewing the group from the perspective of political organization, Muslim Brotherhood was dissolved and banned by the government of Egypt following first Arab-Israeli war defeat. In 1952, the group’s political interests were clear since it give support to the Egyptian revolution. A careful scrutiny of development of Muslim Brotherhood reveals that the group altered its original purpose: social and religious, to focus on political purposes. From this perspective, the purpose of this research paper is to outline various methods imposed by Muslim Brotherhood in transforming themselves from socio-religion organization to a political party. It also introspect the challenges faced by the Muslim Brotherhood in their struggle for political posts. The main goal of the establishment of Muslim Brotherhood was arguably to provide political, social-economic and cultural response to the challenges of modernity spread by concepts of westernization in both a genuine manner and in non-violent way. The liberation of Egypt and Palestine land from foreign rule, re-establishing Islamic rule, and reunifying the Muslim nation were also central to the concerns of the organization at inception. The paper gives a brief history of the Muslim brotherhood besides making a review of various strategies deployed by Muslim Brotherhood while attempting to move from the socio-religion organization to political organization or party. It also discusses the challenges faced by the members of Muslim Brotherhood while juggling their goals in addition to the outcome of the Muslim Brotherhood after achieving their goals. History of Muslim brotherhood The society of Muslim brothers or simply “The Brotherhood” was formed in 1928 in Egypt: Ismailia city, by Hassan-Al-Banna alongside with other six workers of Suez Canal Company. The group was constituted
The business to be analyzed is the menswear company called The Outline, which sells basic clothes from high-quality materials with sustainable production approaches. After it was founded in Barcelona, Spain, in 2015, the firm’s nature was to provide men with a capsule wardrobe to reduce the need to buy various apparel. In 2020, The Outline broadened its client base by selling online, and in 2021, the executives decided to expand the whole business by opening a new branch in UAE. Strategic Management Process for The Outline’s Expansion The goals and mission of The Outline are based on a collaboration of sustainability and minimalistic high-quality menswear. Production includes zero-waste and recycling practices, and distribution primarily addresses carbon emission minimalization. The apparel is presented in capsule collections where all items match, and the high-quality materials increase product longevity. Men tend to be less attracted to fashion trends; therefore, classical and capsuled apparel from The Outline is a convenient and environment-friendly choice. SWOT analysis for The Outline must include internal and external factors’ exploration to make the business maintain its position in the highly-competing clothes market. The company’s strengths are a sustainability-based mission and a specific segment of potential buyers with understandable needs and influence points. The weakness is a complicated, slow, and costly production process that affects the clothes’ prices. The opportunities are the growing trend of zero-waste and sustainability practices among consumers and, in the case of expansion, the demand for high-quality menswear worldwide. The threats are the domination of large brands in most countries and the possible difficulties in opening sustainable productions elsewhere. The management strategy for expansion can be formulated with three main courses: manufacturing, advertising, and selling. Sustainability can be achieved in the production process by localizing the facilities and supplying raw materials from the closest regions. Research about the country and recourses must be conducted to avoid the threat of a new branch’s lack of environment-friendly practices. Marketing strategy needs to consider the potential audience, find the best channels to reach them, and begin actionable promotion before new stores launch. The selling products’ system has to evaluate the threat level from more prominent brands and choose the most convenient distribution. The implementation of the strategy described above must begin at least six months before The Outline’s opening in the UAE. The time is necessary to work out the sustainable systems, regulate the juridical aspects, and establish the local production with the workforce and managers (Robbins & Coulter, 2017). Once implemented, the results can be evaluated based on The Outline’s popularity in the new location and its ability to follow its mission with the local manufacturing. Establishment Process’ Evaluation The internal factors to emphasize the process’s success are the ability to support main goals and find the ni
Executive Summary Strategic management forms an integral aspect of any organization operations. Strategic management guides an organization towards achieving; its goals, objectives, mission and vision successfully. Some scholars assert that strategic management is a vital tool that helps management to allocate resources effectively. In an attempt to understand how strategic management influences business organizations, this essay looks at the operations of Rotary Engineering Limited Company (REL) and Jurong Town Corporation (JPC). REL is a world leading petroleum producer, whereas, JPC is a public owned corporation that offers a competitive economic platform for an organization to produce, and enhance its economic improvement. The main activities carried by JTC are; construction, technoprenuer centre, underground oil reservoirs, incubators, wafer fabrication hub, and chemical production. The company’s mission is to facilitate Singaporean economic performance. On the other hand, REL is a petroleum producing company that operates in Singapore, and in major Asian countries such as; Saudi Arabia, India, China and Malaysia. The company’s mission is to produce quality products that meet customer’s needs. To achieve its long-term goals, the company embraces strategic plans, as the route map to achieving its goals. A viable strategic management is essential for any organization, as it incorporate organization goals, objectives and mission in relation to the long-term plans. Although, the two organizations operate in different economic structures, individual strategic plans have helped them to cope, both with internal and external environment. Additionally, strategic decisions have steered them towards improving their performance. Nonetheless, it has not been smooth sailing for the two companies; challenges have emerged, compelling the management to devise alternatives in order to adjust themselves to the demands of steady growth. Induced pressure that results from steady growth has resulted in delegation of duties to subordinate staffs, some of whom are less competent. However, despite of its steady growth, REL revises its strategic policy and management organization to suit the new demands. Introduction Competitive organizations need to make deliberate measure to cope with the existing cutthroat competition. The existence of such stiff competition renders managers to devise alternatives, and means to remain ahead of their competitors. To achieve this, managers design and implement strategic plans to sustain performance effectiveness. Strategic plan is an evolving initiative aimed at aiding an organization to cope with complex external environment (Porter 1996). Thus; strategic plan forms an integral part of any organization as it encompasses strategic objectives. The strategic objectives outline both current and med
Neoliberalism is the sphere of political economy, sociology and philosophy. This stream first appeared in the 1930s. Neoliberalism has reached the peak of its popularity in the 80s and 90s. The doctrine of neoliberalism was “plucked from the shadows of relative obscurity” by Volcker and Thatcher (Harvey, 2). This doctrine eventually has become the main principle of management and the base of all economic theories. Neoliberalism is directed by the rules of protectionism, which underline that the best and most advanced well being of humans can be achieved through liberating individual entrepreneurship and encouraging the skills of building own independent financial happiness that is based on the freedoms and desires of every person. Neoliberals see the role of the government and the state in creating the best conditions suitable for further development of the individuals and maintaining the safety net of frameworks in order to preserve and stabilise such practices and provide better opportunities. This means that multiple layers and aspects of the political structure in the country must be directed at the protection of individual entrepreneurial freedoms. The structures of the state that carry these responsibilities are military, police and legal structures. The rights of private property have to be protected, and the quality and integrity of monetary streams have to be supported. This policy is encouraged
Rudine Sims Bishop Rudine Sims Bishop describes the definition of cultural authenticity in terms of three categories of African American literature viz. “social, physical, and cultural environment” (Bishop, 2003, p. 27). The author presents the “ideological underpinning” found in a non-political but can be used for political dissemination (2003, p. 28). For instance, a writer may choose to demonstrate the violent aspect of culture while another may choose to project destitution and poverty ingrained in it. Bishop (2003) further shows that the multicultural work in children’s literature is marked by the presence of “authenticating detail,” which the author believes is present in the storyline and is embedded in the dialect used for writing the dialogues (2003, p. 28). Bishop (2003) believes cultural authentication is necessary when an author writes about a different race. Hence, the author points out that white authors and illustrators have been reluctant to receive an appraisal of their work. Bishop’s (2003) work presents a unique argument regarding the debate on the cultural authenticity of a literary work; however, the method employed by the author to distinguish the authentic and the non-authentic work is arbitrary. She insists that an outsider cannot possibly describe the pulse of the culture completely. However, if the person had lived through the event, the author’s cultural background will not have a severe impact on the author’s knowledge of the culture. From the article, it is evident that incorporating multicultural work in the school curriculum is essential as this would provide exposure to different cultures and also help grow tolerance towards others. The article by Bishop (2003) mostly discusses African American literature such as Hallelujah! A Christmas Celebration was written by W. Nikola-Lisa and Shades of Black by Myles Pinkney. Multiculturalism forms the crux of the cultural authentication of literary work debate. The article stresses the importance of cultural literacy among children, such that literature may expose children to culturally and racially diverse voices. Different cultures in schools The increased effort towards creating a curriculum that incorporates multicultural learning in the United States is due to the rising heterogeneity in the population. Schools today emphasize the incorporation of multicultural literary work in their curriculum such that students can relate and appreciate the cultural diversity of the United States. In my particular school district, the impact of multiculturalism on teaching is evident. Students are exposed to different cultures and their rituals to garner tolerance. The district schools are
