Introduction A contract security company, such as G4s and Walden, should have an effective framework that deals with critical issues experienced by employees. This may include wages, union representatives, job placement, and pension, among others. According to Schermerhorn, Osborn, & Hunt (2000), a vast majority of the contract security companies is faced with a dilemma when it comes to highlighting the key issues affecting the quality of life of their employees. This necessitates the need for reorganizing the duties in a manner that allows the employees to reap benefits for working in such companies. However, the implementation of a successful management system calls for a framework that is time consuming because it entails a thorough assessment. Despite the time constraints, the success of a contract security company necessitates a fair job placement since it acts as a function of motivation and ability (Pattanayak, 2005). Ability, in this case, is defined as a process that highly depends on education, training, and work experience of the employees. Although employee motivation poses a challenge for the contract security companies, low employee motivation can be devastating because it can lead to a decrease of employees’ quality of life, thus affecting productivity of the company (Podmoroff, 2005). Therefore, it is rational for the contract security companies to carry out a research proposal that aims at assessing what is needed from the upper management or the company as a whole in order to provide the employees with a suitable avenue for a good workplace environment. Jusification The study of job placement is of paramount importance in management because it seeks to highlight the factors affecting employees and the organizational performance. According to Hertzberg theory, job placement influences organizational behavior; therefore, jobs should have ample challenge to exploit the full potential of a given employee (Podmoroff 2005). This topic is imperative because it is congruent with my area of professional interest [Manager] due to the following reasons:   * It will facilitate definition of roles that have the capacity of enabling the employees to exercise their own judgment and free with respect to their career path;   * It will meticulously evaluate and criticize the most acceptable job placement that gives rise to working in a cohesive manner in a contract security company;   * It will facilitate an establishment of a theoretical framework that is able to assess the most satisfying job placement strategy that would benefit the employees and the contract security company as a whole; Podmoroff (2005) alleges that a fair job placement highly initiates deep behavioral changes and counters employee dissatisfaction. Therefore, this proposal will primarily concentrate on critically evaluating the literatures on the subject in order to supply answers as to what extent job placement is applicable to providing quality life for employees working for contract security companies. Literature search and academic context The G4S Company in U.K. carried
It could be hardly doubted that one of the core characteristics of any human being is the ability to make statements, assumptions, and generalizations based on the inflow of information from the external world. One of the most peculiar manifestations of this ability is the capacity to judge. It is possible to notice that the notion of judgment comprises a very broad range of aspects. For example, it is a foundation of the legal system, and it is a basis for evaluating a person’s actions as well. However, sometimes people tend to abuse their judgemental abilities, both consciously and subconsciously, and this can cause different consequences both for the individual who judges and for the party that is being judged. This paper aims to investigate the possible outcomes of judgemental behavior, based on the material of two literary sources, and its final purpose is to come to a conclusion about the negative influence of such behavioral patterns. “ Young Goodman Brown” The first literary piece under consideration is the short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, written in 1835 and entitled “Young Goodman Brown.” The author places the name of the primary character into the title, enhancing his leading role in the story. The plot primarily revolves around the trip of the young man into the forest at night. At the beginning of the story, Brown says goodbye to his wife, who is named Faith. He heads to the forest for some “work to be done,” and there he meets his companion, an older man whose name is not mentioned anywhere in the story (Hawthorne 222). As they proceed, they encounter Brown’s teacher of catechesis, an old lady who appears to be a witch. After a little while, the companion of the young man disappears, and he continues to travel alone. Finally, he finds a mysterious gathering of his village’s people, who appear to be worshipping evil and sin, and they are about to sacrifice Faith (Hawthorne 229). Even though this gathering turns out to be more of Brown’s dream, it leaves a deep scar on his soul from which he cannot recover until his death. This literary piece offers a vast amount of material to elaborate on. First of all, it is essential to mention the most obvious lesson of the story: people are profoundly affected by the negative images of their significant ones of any kind, and it determines their judgment about them. As it is mentioned in the story, Goodman Brown was not able to forget his dream, and it had an adverse impact on his relationships with his wife. The second point which is worth mentioning is the subtle reference to the corruption of the young man himself. It is not stated directly, but it is obvious that he was heading to the forest to do something wicked. Supposedly, the author implies that an individual tends to judge others when he or she attempts to transfer the responsibility for his or her sins to another person. Also, it is possible to mention another peculiar aspect of the literary piece under consideration. Goodman Brown’s wife is named Faith, and it is evident that the author did it on purpose. Metaphorically, the story represents relationships between an individual and his or her religion. Of course,
Introduction This article presents views against the US constitution as it was in 1787. The article focuses on the process through the constitution was enacted and its early status. The risks that the constitution posed to the general public are viewed. Views against the US Constitution The US constitution as it was back in 1787, as discussed by Breading et al. (1787), was a document which could lead the US into a path of tyrannical leadership. The constitution lacked counter checks on federal officials and bodies and thus gave them technically unlimited powers on what they could do. It was open to manipulation of any kind unfortunately at the expense of the common people. It is also observed that it was not representative – a huge percentage of the populace was not guaranteed of representation of its views. The constitution even threatened the very existence of the states. Lack of Counter Checks The 1787 US constitution did not place a counter check mechanism on Congress. For instance, the powers that were vested in Congress were immense and left the body to check itself. It had an unlimited time of operation since the body was responsible for choosing the time for election of new members to Congress. It is also viewed that its legislative power could act as a precursor to greatly weaken the state governments. Its judicial powers could engulf state judiciaries and this would be an act of consolidating all the states. It also had the mandate to levy taxes directly on the states. It can argued that this could act as a loophole for Congress to siphon resources from the states and there was a chance that this could be overdone leaving the state governments with no means of governance (Breading et al., 1787). Unfair Representation The representation of the people was deficient. It is necessary that the composition of a legislature has sufficient knowledge of the represented parts and is in good numerical numbers so that it can truly reveal the opinions and views of the represented populace. The 1787 constitution directed the number of House of Representatives members to be 65. To form a quorum for discussion of government issues, 33 members were required. What this technically meant was that 17 members were the determinants. In the case of the senate, 14 members could make a quorum since the senate consisted of 26 members. Out of the 14 senators making a quorum, 8 senators were enough to determine which decisions were to be made. This representation can be said to be unsafe for the vast area and millions of people represented (Breading et al., 1787). Assigned Text There are a number of things I disliked about the text assigned to me. First, the text was quite long – it almost took me two hours to read. Second, some of the words were not spelled well, for instance, the word control was written as controul. Third and last, the structuring of some of the sentences appeared to be a bit strange. Nevertheless, the text was quite comprehensive and covered the topic well. Conclusion The 1787 US constitution was not a good legislation for governance. It contained
There are many companies who hope to move either their operations to China or try and penetrate the Chinese market and have access to its vast domestic market. This paper will consider the plight of General Electric and its recent decision to move its X-ray department to China in the hope that doing so will help it increase its X-ray sales in China and boost its overall productivity. General Electric manufactures electrical appliances in many fields and is reputed to be the largest manufacturer of medical equipment. The products which they hope to popularize in China are X-ray related equipments like CT scanners. This is an ambitious project and will require mobilization and utilization of huge resources to set up industry and roll out a huge marketing campaign to acquire and retain clients. The components of this strategy includes training several engineers and investing in six research centers for the purpose of improving the quality of their product and be above the competition in terms of standards and innovation. General electric therefore hopes to use research and understanding of the china market to create products which are innovative and specific to the Chine market as a way of enhancing sales. General electric hopes to use the move to China to develop X-rays that are made specifically for the Chinese market. This move was informed by the heightened growth of the Chinese health industry which has companies in pharmaceutical and equipment manufacturing fighting for a lead share of the vibrant sector. It is only by being close to their customers that the company has any hope of understanding their need and utilizing this knowledge to get ahead. This has resulted in development of cheaper but still effective equipments like the Brivo CT scanner designed to be used in some of China’s less developed health centers (Burkitt, 2011). Many economists have posed the question regarding the viability of companies who have no presence in the Chinese market to do so now. Some actually feel that companies who failed to enter the market early enough have missed their chance and should concentrate on finding other suitable markets. But how does any company forego the chance to try their luck within what has emerged as the largest market I of this century (Kinni, 2005). The question then has changed from whether a company should enter the Chinese market into how best to do so. According to speculations by economists and scholars, the Chinese market is showing signs of hostility to foreign companies who have expressed an interest in selling their products to the Chinese people. But all these can be avoided by getting a deeper understanding of Chinese political and legal systems which will enable a company establish a presence in this market. What every new company needs to know is that China is a unique country with a different way of life as compared to the US and major European countries. These differences are not just in the laws that govern the land but in the culture that define the Chinese people and whic
Intuition is the process of knowing something without engaging your mind through a rational process. The term also refers to an impression that something could be. A person under the influence of intuition has a vague belief in which he places his or her confidence. A manager who is under the influence of intuition will have a cognitive ability that is well organized but not properly understood. Such a cognitive ability is purposed at developing effectiveness in a workplace. Research has shown that when managers are making decisions they do not act as passive makers of choice but rather as active sense makers relying on perception, imaginative reasoning, and action to solve problems. The knowledge required to solve a particular problem is a product of the manager’s way of thinking and the environment surrounding him. Therefore, a manager’s intuition is important in solving dynamic problem situations. (Rowan, 1986 pp12-13) To create an executive support system fitting this understanding, it is important to design an ecological model comprising of methodologies that can focus on the analysis of the relationship between a manager’s mind and the environment. This can also be improved by combining the ability of computers to analyze and the intuition the managers have. All managers tend to have feelings of intuition but they discount them and when they give in to these feelings, it takes a lot of guts to listen to them. The more the manager follows his intuition to propose an idea to a prospective client the stronger the influence of intuition gets into him. Therefore, the more the manager trusts his intuition, the more he gets nudges caused by intuition. For this reason, managers trying to make decisions should have all the facts and a clear mind. However, sometimes intuitions are important keys while dealing with clients as a manager especially during public speaking and when they want to overhaul their business potential. While doing this the manager requires a lot of sensitivity and not much hard data. A manager can al
Introduction People of different origins characterized by race, language, and physique inhabit the world. The world’s major races include People of African origin, People of Caucasian origin, Asians, Arabs, and those with mixed races (Lie & Brym, 2006, 204). These groups have diverse cultures characterized by both material and non-material aspects that make each of them unique. The most important factor however is the fact that all these people belong to the same species that make them collectively human beings. There may be some instances of conflict involving various groups of human beings. However, behind the peaceful coexistence of the majority of these groups is the concept of cultural heritage and share humanity that operates on the simple belief that all human beings are equal. This has culminated in the formation of a social political and economic environment where all human beings are closely integrated for the benefit of all regardless of culture or race. Better understanding There can easily be discord between these peoples who live across different geographical places and time zones. Better understanding of different cultures ensures conflict is avoided. Better understanding of humanity’s collective cultural heritage will help people appreciate other people’s beliefs and adopt them for their own benefit. From Indigenous, people who are estimated to range between 250 million to 300 million, to people who have assimilated other culture’s practices, understanding of each other’s backgrounds will help in fostering unity for the good of the future generations and survival of this world. Through this cultural collaboration, human beings will be able to easily exchange good cultural traits that their cultures do not have to strengthen ties and eliminate weaknesses that they may have (Tischler, 2007, p. 347). Roles of cultural understanding In academia, cultural understanding has helped in the growth of cultural literature and documentation of different people’s cultures in positive portrayal. Additionally cultural understanding has provided numerous opportunities for academicians in their pursuit for academic excellence. Outside academia, better understanding of cultural differences has helped the formation of global movements devoid of racial or cultural overtures. These movements are evident in trade, human rights, sports, and social life (Rapaille, 2007, p. 43). The initiatives fronted by these movements have helped in the promotion of peace, development, eliminatio
Appropriate charts such as the Gantt chart and the Work-Breakdown Structure (WBS) help time-manage the project, creating not only an atmosphere of collective responsibility through task assignment but also setting clear due dates. The corresponding appendices A and B deal with the division of the WBS and the Gantt chart per the identified responsibilities. Identifying and visualizing the tasks and outputs of the project aimed at computerizing sepsis protocol at Northwell Health in this way permits the proper project management execution. Project’s Tasks and Deliverables Delivering a final product only becomes possible when the created plan deals with and meets smaller goals throughout its implementation. As deliverables may be “tangible or intangible part of the development process,” their apperception within the project went beyond the scope a list of instruments provided to nurses for sepsis computerization (Sipes, 2016, p. 86). The plan was therefore developed with the requirement for provision of services, such as nurse IT training and feedback lines, in mind. Thus, the identified deliverables are the practicum project plan, project scope statement, project charter, hardware, software, training, lines of feedback, as well as qualitative and quantitative research results. Altogether, these deliverables align with the task of computerizing sepsis protocol and creating an electronic procedure of sepsis treatment. While the creation of the plan itself is the primary goal of the project, the second stage is related to the delivery of assigned outputs. The tasks of the project closely mirror the outlined goals, resulting in a dependent relationship between them, with changes in one sphere resulting in changes in the other. An essential step in task assignment and deadline identification became their correspondence and alignment with the actual time possibilities within teams (Harris, 2016). Therefore, close communication of team leaders and inter-team communication are necessary for the efficient implementation of the project. Work-Breakdown Structure The WB
Introduction Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the developmental disabilities that can cause various behavioral, social, and communication problems. Persons with the condition should be supported and empowered in order to lead quality lives. Statistics indicate that about one in every 68 children has ASD (Tamanaha, Chiari, & Perissinoto, 2015). Ho, Stephenson, and Carter (2014) also observed that the condition was common in all socioeconomic and racial groups. However, boys tend to be 4.5 times more likely to develop this developmental condition. In 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicated that 1 in 6 children in America had a specific kind of development disability. The common conditions recorded in the country include autism, language impairment, and cerebral palsy. In terms of demographics, ASD affects one person in every 100 in the United States. However, whites and African Americans record 1.6 and 1.3 percent prevalence rates respectively (Ranjan, Pradhan, & Wong, 2014). Developmental disabilities such as ASD are known to cause a number of problems whenever they are left untreated. For example, many people with the condition will have difficulty in interacting, socializing, and communicating with others (Ranjan et al., 2014). Some might become disinterested in a number of activities and fail to achieve their potential in life. People with the condition also find it hard to function at work or at school. Their critical areas of life tend to be affected. These facts explain why adequate treatment models and services can improve patients’ symptoms and make it easier for them to function optimally. First Home Care is one of the agencies in Portsmouth, Virginia, that provide support services to persons with a wide range of disabilities. The proposed study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the programs implemented by the institution’s Day Support Services to meet the needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). According to the department’s mission, every activity is usually aimed at providing personalized and group support to different individuals depending on their demands. Beneficiaries are motivated and equipped with adequate skills in communicati
Introduction Research Background and Content Preview As the world becomes a global village, the growth and development of music have depicted the societal way of life. Specifically, the depiction covers the tradition and culture of people. Across the world, different societies use instruments and tools in music composition (John, 2013). Basically, learning music and different accompanying instruments depends on the ability of an individual to understand concepts such as ratios and fractions, which are significant in the fields of mathematics and financial economics (Castanedo, 2016). Therefore, this research paper will attempt to establish the existing relationship between music and fields of mathematics, economics, and finance. Research Question   * How can music help in the field of mathematics and financial economics? Research methodology The researcher opted for secondary data to carry out a qualitative analysis of different musical attributes that are related to economics, mathematics, and finance. Findings and Analysis As an art, music is a medium fusing silence and sound to appeal to the listener. The sound-making up music is controlled by beats, dynamics, and rhythm. Music composition comprises of fusion of sound and beats, depending on the genre. Previous studies have endeavored to link mathematical achievements to musical training in the form of instrumentation (Castanedo, 2016). In one of such studies, the findings revealed that students with high musical training tended to excel in mathematics and accounting subjects more than their counterparts with no musical knowledge. Such students had high standardized scores for different computation tests (Bergman, 2013). This means that music and finance or mathematics have a close relationship, whose origin can be traced to several centuries back to the beginning of civilization and musical instrumentation. Music basically involves pattern creation of sound to form consistent notes. On the other hand, the field of mathematics and finance involves studying patterns and figures to make sense of different phenomena (John, 2013). This means that everything in music, such as harmony, melody, and timbre, can be studied from a series of mathematical perspectives. For instance, rhythm can be studied by application of mathematics perspectives such as differential calculus, signal processing, trigonometry, and number theory or geometry (Pitts, 2012). Moreover, most of the modern electronic and electrical tools that are used to create music functions on the ability to understand the connotation of how these musicals work. As is the case with rhythm in music, which involves the creation of notes that make a beat, mathematics works with periodic functions. For instance, in the compositions of Milton Babbit and other composers of the 20 th century, their music composition involved the artistic fusion of dynamics and tempo to create deep rh
