Introduction With advanced technology, e-business plays a very important role in modern business. Several studies have indicated the growing significance of e-business in the world. As a result, the value of e-business has increased significantly. This has given rise to the concept of e-market which is gaining importance each and every day. E-market involves the use of internet technology for the purposes of marketing. E-market has enabled marketers to perform their tasks in an easier way. This is due to the possibility of marketing globally without having to travel. However, e-market has had several ups and downs its applications. In fact, the concept has experienced many failures in the past years. Due to the great role, it plays in modern marketing marketers have been resilient in working towards revitalizing the concept. Several attempts, therefore, have been incepted with the aim of affecting the working of e-market. As such plans have been laid to surmount the challenges faced by e-market. The aim of this paper is to navigate through the entire concept of e-market. Special reference shall be given to developing countries. The paper will henceforth endeavour to discuss in detail the factors that improve e-markett in developing countries. The focus will be given to developing countries due to the fact that the concept of e-market is still picking up in developing countries. In developed countries, e-markett is well developed and functional. However in developing countries, a lot of obstacles elated top technology ad capital has hindered the working of the same. The paper will taker a keen look at the whole aspect of e-market and come up with the various methods through which the concept can be improved. In order to succeed in this endeavour, the paper will be divided into three parts. Each part will tackle a special factor and how it plays a crucial role in the whole process. Four Types of Reliability Reliability of e-marketplaces is a major consideration when analyzing the application and success of e-markets. As a result, there are several ways in which the reliability of the e-marketplaces can be ascertained. The several types of reliability identities help in the understanding of the essence and significance of e market places. A successful analysis of e market place, therefore, involves a number of parameters that must be put into consideration for the success of the entire process. There are several reliability identities which are used I the study of e market places. They include inter-observer reliability, examining re-examining reliability, parallel figures reliability and inner consistency reliability [1]. These go a long way in providing a better u
Introduction Australia’s first recorded links with Europe back date to Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, English and French explorers of the 17 th century. The British settlements of Australia in the year 1788 marked the beginning of a steady tributary of Europeans enthusiasm to counterfeit new lives in the great southern continent. A squirt of immigration as a result of the Second World War saw Europe and Australia develop boarder stronger cultural and social kinships underscored by common values of democracy. Union between the Australian and European Union Currently the Australian and European Union remain natural economic, political and social partners. Due to significant change in the nature of relationship from colonial era especially from 1973 when the United Kingdom unified with European community as it was known by then, the partnership in economy has remained as the mainstay of the relationship. According to the Ex European Vice president Sir Brittan, he remarked that the thumping heart of their relationship was to remain economic. The European Union is the largest partner in economic when consideration of trade in merchandise goods, investments and services is made. Politically, the Australia and European Union have the same democratic parliamentary government systems. They took part in multilateral foral like the United Nations where they share common political issues of the day (Bishop 1952, pg 56). The consultations of ministries between the Australia and European Commission began in 1976 which covered a wide range of aspects. They originated from talks on bilateral trades aspects to cover the multilateral matters of trade and international relations, industrial cooperation, environmental protection, science and technology, development aid programs, educational and training, consumer policy and competition. Although there is a tension existing in specific areas like the environment and agriculture, the sometimes harsh arguments over the Europeans Union’s common policy in agriculture have been much associated with significant CPA reforms of the early 90s and the European Union’s continuous increasing commitment to the world trade liberalization. An Australian and European Union declaration which was adopted in June 1997 has led to facilitation of reinvigorated bilateral relationship. Due to strong downturn in Asia and Australian terms of trade, following the Australia’s northern neighbor’s turbulence, there has been rediscovery of the significance of European’s Union dimensions (Bishop 1952, pg 103). When these principles are related with the everyday life, a positive impact has been achieved. This is because some mandatory issues like trade between different countries have been facilitated. After ministerial consultations between European and Australian states, issues of Industrial Corporation were established to greatly assist the countries which lacked certain materials to have easy acquisition of same materials from their colloquies. Aid programs projects were also set where by the economically pressed countries could benefit from the wealthy nations. Also environmental prot
Introduction With the ever changing business environment, change management and strategic planning activities are increasingly becoming issues of focus in the modern business environment. This is because of the significant role they play in helping organizations adapt to the turbulence of change. In this paper, I explore change management and strategic planning in terms of definition, inter-relationships and the impact of change on individuals and organizations. Main Body Change management refers to the manner in which top-level managers shape the way organizations adapt, respond to, anticipate and learn about change which occurs within them and the environment. This is a central tenet to organizations as it enables us understand how these organizations help people (internally and externally) to embrace change. Therefore, change management is the way organizations are designed to positively and proactively anticipate and react to the external environment which is ever-changing and competitive. Change management also involves institution of internal structures in the organization to enable it to respond better to the turbulence of change (Johnson 1998). If change management is effectively undertaken, it results in creation of a learning institution where employees continuously broaden their capacity to create truly desired outcomes and nurture new and expansive thinking patterns (Johnson 1998; Jager 2006). Change management also involves equipping employees to acquire knowledge and skills to learn in institutions they encounter. In this context, change management is enhanced by encouraging deep commitment where employees build required skills through out the work place. In addition, change management requires commitment especially at the absolute pinnacle of the organization. Various authors e.g. Jager and Johnson have pointed out that change management involves the regulation of speed, breadth and depth of learning which should be managed at different levels (Jager 2006; Johnson 1998). On the other hand, strategic planning refers to long-range planning undertaken to set goals, objectives and policies of the organization and to determine tactics, strategies and programs under which these goals will be achieved. Strategic planning is undertaken by top-level managers who make plans to chart the best courses of future action. Therefore, strategic planning activities involve defining the mission of the organization using the organizational purpose as a key tool for identification of products, services and customers. Strategic planning also involves setting objectives i.e. purpose, goals and desired outcomes for the organization and its parts (Johnson 1998; Bryson 1995). When objectives are set, it is important that strategies are developed. These strategies involve activities which enable the organization to adapt and achieve its strategic objectives. Therefore, strategic planning has a longer time horizon and it deals with the interface of the organization and its e
Coastal Medical Center (CMC) is a big hospital providing various healthcare services for the population of the Sun Belt. It is in charge of a coastal town and three counties with a population of almost one million people (Harrison, 2016). The company has been observing some problems and losing profits. However, with the new CEO CMC has ambitious plans. The company is planning to create a joined venture with physicians and to build an ambulatory surgery center. Its creation would enable operations that do not require overnight hospitalization. Nevertheless, all the risks should be considered. First of all, it is necessary to evaluate the feasibility of the ambulatory surgical center (ASC) for CMC. Since the company is observing certain difficulties in various spheres, their solution should become the primary concern of a new CEO. Strategic planning and management should be introduced. The managers involved in the reorganizational process should be aware that strategic management can be applied “at different levels” (Moseley, 2017). These levels include all branches of management, from top managers to the workers. Besides, it may be useful to apply SWOT analysis which is the examination of the organization’s strengths and weaknesses, and the perspectives for development. Firstly, demographics and social demands should be studied. Since the community under consideration is young and growing, there is a need for reliable healthcare providers. Ambulatory surgery centers may become popular due to demographics factors. Since the number of people under 44 (which makes the most productive working force) has grown, the citizens may not want to stay at the hospital for a long time; they would prefer a quick return to their work. Thus, ambulatory surgery will be useful for them. The social environment of the area may be considered favorable. The political environment should also be regarded. One of its aspects is tax subsidies. They can be acquired, for example, if some operations monthly or quarterly will be provided for free, as a charity. Since the company does not produce any harmful effects on the environment, there should not be a problem with zoning. Finally, licensing must not be an obstacle to ASC creation due to the experience that the hospital and its management have in the field of healthcare. The plan of ASC may be feasible in case the company changes its strategy. The current problems may have an adverse influence on the healthcare business plan implementation. However, the stuff should become the primary concern. Well-trained specialists are crucial for such initiatives. They should be prepared to work with new equipment. In case the future stuff off the new center has no suitable qualifications, the training should be organized by the company. The care of the future ASC will be provided at the regional level since the area includes three counties. The changes in the management are necessary to run a hospital and a new center simultaneously. Considering the current problems in the management, it is crucial to change the personnel or provide t
Introduction According to the NHS (4), all employees are entitled to work in safe and healthy environments. Therefore, employers must ensure that such environments exist for their employees. Comparatively, employees also have duties and responsibilities to safeguard their safety and health. This section of the paper outlines unique ways that, we, as caregivers, could comply with health, safety, and risk management policies in the workplace. The context of this analysis is for end-of-life caregivers. Understand Health, Safety, and Risk Management Codes Complying with health, safety, and risk management procedures in the workplace require a comprehensive understanding of the codes of conduct that define and guide employer-employee relationships in the workplace (Alli 19-20). The Nursing and Midwifery Council (1) delves deeper into this issue by explaining the meanings of the codes of conduct for employers and patients and arguing that a violation of these codes could question a caregiver’s skills and practice. My role as a care assistant requires a thorough understanding of my organization’s code of practice, as the first step towards complying with the health, safety, and risk management requirements of my organization. Therefore, in my duty as a caregiver, I should exercise due diligence to make sure that my actions comply with relevant acts and regulations surrounding health, safety, and risk management processes (Nursing and Midwifery Council 1). Attend Training Sessions and Programs It is my duty, as a caregiver to attend health, safety, and risk management seminars to make sure that I know the latest safety management procedures in the health sector. This step would also enhance my knowledge of safety policies and practices in the health sector and improve my understanding of the duties and obligations required of employees and employers in the nursing environment (Nidirect 1). Embrace Teamwork As a key part of the safety team in my workplace, it is important to acknowledge the duties and responsibilities of nurses to work with other employees in promoting a safe culture in the workplace (Nidirect 1). Part of this strategy involves taking reasonable care for the health and safety of my colleagues, to avoid putting other people at risk of harm. This conscious effort would complement the safety and health initiatives in the workplace and ensure the effective implementation of safety and health policies in the nursing environment. Reporting Safety, Health, and Risk Management Issues It is crucial to recognize the important role of caregivers in reporting potential causes, or incidents, of unsafe work practices that may undermine the implementation of an effective risk management policy. Under this framework, we, as caregivers, should report injuries, illnesses, or strains that we may suffer because of our work. The goal of doing so is to pre-empt the employer to take action before something bad happens (Nidirect 5). Embrace Full Disclosure According to the World Health Organization (30), caregivers must disclose all medical condition
The prescription of medication occupies a significant part of the healthcare industry and bears numerous challenges for professionals and patients. According to Hayes et al. (2015), various incidents connected to medication administration remain “a substantial patient safety issue in the health care setting internationally” (p. 3063). Mistakes in medication prescription can have severe consequences for all the parties involved, including life-threatening situations, congenital disabilities, or other disabilities for the patients, lawsuits, fines, and professional problems for medical workers. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (2019) reports that it gets more than 100,000 reported incidents related to medication errors annually. Consequently, it is critical for organizations within the field to undertake measures and utilize effective procedures and strategies to reduce the number of medication errors. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the integration of information technology and medication double-checks to minimize the incidents through the change theory. The healthcare industry widely offers medication as a treatment or assistance for various illnesses and diseases, which also carries a potential risk to patients. The World Health Organization states that a need to prescribe drugs for older adults and respond to complex needs can explain the growing number of potential threats (World Health Organizat
Introduction In American literature, modernism began at the turn of the 20 th century, specifically during the time of the Great War and ending in the period after the Second World War. The general mood for this era – at least for the creative minds that produce novels, poems, and other works of art – can be summarized using the words of one commentator who pointed to the numbing effect of World War I and he said, “Four years of slaughter in the trenches of the Western Front purged Americans’ faith in progress and the perfectibility of man and replaced it with cynicism, preoccupied with dislocation, fragmentation, and dehumanization” (Burt, p. 335). Based on the literature produced during this era, modernism can be characterized by disillusionment, aimlessness, and rebellion against social norms. Since the general mood is disillusionment, then what follows is a feeling of aimlessness. In Fitzgerald’s Winter Dreams , the protagonist Dexter Green was supposed to be successful, but he was wandering aimlessly. He had money, he had the American Dream guiding him, but at the end of the journey, he felt empty, achieving nothing of significance. Aimlessness is also prevalent in Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises . Postmodernism, on the other hand, is the period after World War II. According to many, this is one of the most socially disruptive eras in American history (Burt, p. 487). How can authors survive in this age of cynicism? How can they write love stories and love ballads if their hearts are filled with these negative emotions? It is, therefore, interesting to find out how authors and poets tried to deal with a favorite subject matter – love. The following works by different authors tried to describe love using different approaches. Winter Dreams In the second chapter of the story, Dexter was taking a swim, and out of the blue came Judy Jones. She was in a motorboat, and she explained her presence as well as her need for assistance by saying, “…I live in a house over there on the island, and in that house, there is a man waiting for me. When he drove up at the door, I drove out of the dock because he says I’m his ideal” (Fitzgerald, Chapter II). Even the wariest reader can be forced to take a second look at this passage because it revealed a new side of Judy Jones that was never mentioned before prior to this incident. It was clear
Not so long ago intermodal transportation attracted enormous attention with the development of supply chains that can be seen all over the world. Since the previous century, it has changed greatly due to the technological evolution. With the focus on centralization and deregulation that was observed at the end of 20th century, intermodal transportation started to be treated as a driver of growth (Rodrigue, Comtois, & Slack, 2012). As the US and Europe applied regulation and deregulation, they affected various industries greatly as well as promoted economic growth. The desire to improve intermodal relationships triggered the implementation of deregulation. With its help, governments wanted to increase price and competition in the sphere so that the development of the intermodal transportation can be streamlined. The first steps of such changes were seen in the 1940s already, with the appearance of the Transportation Act. Still, more substantial alterations were made in a decade starting with the 1970s, and included the US recognition of the Motor Carrier Act and the Staggers Rail Act of 1980. As a result, intermodalism started to grow and logistics improved. New multimodal transportation organizations appeared as it was cheaper to maintain inventories. Those companies that used to be competitors started cooperating with the desire to market their capacity. A range of intermodal operating agreements was made, which provided an opportunity to expand a range of services and adapt them to various clients. As a result, the price of the services lowered while their quality reached higher levels (Engelke, 2016). Due to the cooperation between rail, trucking and shipping organizations, “intermodal traffic has grown from 3.1 million trailers and containers in 1980 to 8.8 million in 1998” (Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 2000, par. 9). The US transportation system was in poor condition in the 1970s because there was not enough funding to buy new equipment and make it less dangerous. Still, with the implementation of the Regulatory Reform Act that was followed by the Staggers Act the situation started to improve, and “seven bankrupt rail lines” were replaced by Conrail (Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 2000, par. 7). The railroads received an opportunity to define and apply rates they believed to be appropriate. Moreover, they got a chance to stop working at some lines if considered them to be unprofitable. Class I railroads started to grow rapidly so that today there are more than five of them only in the US. The fact that regulations provided rail lines with a possibility to stop working in particular locations turned out to have negative consequences for those people and organizations that represent
