The companies agreed to give the Global Alliance Committee the mandate to direct their partnership through the leadership of the chief executive officers from the two companies. The Renault Company provided financial capital worth $5.4 billion (¥643 billion). In return, the company purchased 36.8 per cent of the Nissan Motor’s shares 22.5 per cent of the Nissan Diesel. The total equity was worth ¥605 billion and to compensate for the remaining ¥38 billion, Nissan Motor agreed to transfer ownership of its European financial subsidiaries to Renault Company. In addition, the agreement gave the Renault Company the freedom to increase its share in Nissan Motor and gave the Nissan Motor the freedom to buy equities from Renault. On management issues, the two companies agreed to give Renault Company the duty to manage three positions in Nissan Motor. The companies made the decision to allocate one of the seats in Renault’s board of directors to a leader from Nissan Motor. The seat was given to Hanawa (Nissan Motor chief executive officer). At the alliance level, the companies decided to come up with eleven cross-company teams to run the different fields of synergy as well as to coordinate sales and marketing efforts in the various markets dominated by the two companies. Some of the teams included the purchasing team, engineering team, and product-planning team, among others. Introduction In 2010, the Renault and N
Herodotus Herodotus was a Greek historian. He is often referred to as the Father of History – the name that was given to him by Cicero. It is not a coincidence, as he is the author of the work titled The Histories – a piece of writing that stands out due to its peculiar style. In fact, it was the first writer to be developed in a concise, systematic, and critical manner to arrange all studied events in a historiographical and detailed way instead of simply narrating them. Therefore, the historical significance of the text is that it became the beginning of the historical manner of writing characterized by a thorough analysis of described events and strive for establishing cause-and-effect relationships. The Histories is a collection of books. The main focus of the piece of writing is made on studying the Greco-Persian Wars. In fact, it is a detailed record of the wars’ origins and main events, such as battles of Thermopylae, Marathon, Mycale, Artemisium, etc., as well as the lives of people, including Xerxes, Cyrus, Croesus, Darius, and others. The specificity of this work is that it goes beyond laying stress on the war. Instead, it as well pays special attention to geographical, cultural, ethnographic, and other aspects of life during the Greco-Persian Wars. The collection of books was written while Herodotus traveled across Persian territories and collected oral histories, myths, and legends. He systematized and analyzed the notes to make a comprehensive and modern source that is often perceived as the fundamental historical work. Incorporating both fictional stories and factual observations, The Histories is the work that was later used by historians as an example to follow when writing their own works, while Herodotus was the person to begin the new era of history – systematic, critical, and multi-dimensional. Al-Bakri, Fulcher, Comnena, Ibn al-Athir, and Munqidh Al-Bakri was an Andalusian historian best known for combining both history and geography in his works. One of the books written by the author is The Book of Routes and Realms. Being a Muslim historian, Al-Bakri documented his observations of the way Muslim people led their lives with the main focus on customs and traditions. The historical significance of the work is that it introduces the development of Muslim statehood. Another rea
Commandant’s guidance sets a platform that point out that Marine and sailors are very crucial part of our peacekeeping personnel. According to the 35 th Commandant from the Marine Corps, the families of marines and sailors are also very important. As a result, it is imperative for them to receive the best care by being able to access the relevant support programs in addition to quality facilities (Howell, 2011). There is also the need for availability of benefits and resources capable of providing standard and qualitative care. Family readiness forms a critical aspect of marine service (Levin, 2009). This shows that family readiness plays an active role towards realizing the success of the marine and sailor’s unit. With that respect, this paper will seek to explain why is Family Readiness a vital asset to the Marine Corp Command and the families associated with the Marine Corp Command. A family readiness officer is responsible for providing very substantial information about the unit officers and their families. Ideally, a family readiness officer acts as the connecting element between and among the marines, Sailors, and their relatives (Levin, 2009). Their work encompasses sourcing for information from the involved parties and then passing it over to the other. This aspect of providing vital information to marines about their families shows that a family readiness officer is also a referral of the unit officers and their families. The information obtained by family readiness officers and passed on to the marines and sailors provides an essential base in which their families help by being active members of the community that these marines and sailors call home. The information keeps this unit’s service men and women feel their family members as being part of the squadron (Howell, 2011). Resources and information shared by the readiness officers aid in fulfillment of both familial and Warlord network emotional needs. Sources maintain that being in the warlord regime presents some serious challenges that range from work related to physical health and pending legal action. These challenges tend to strain marines and sailors psychologically. Nevertheless, presence of the family readiness officers helps deal with the situation as their position provides emotional support through the availability of adequate and encouraging information regarding the unit officer’s family and their official counterparts as well (Howell, 2011). Documented evidence reveals that there have been reported cases of suicidal attempts by either family members or the marines. When such a case tends to appear, family readiness officers set up a special team equipped with the effort required in order to provide effective suicidal prevention measures. Thus, the work of readiness of officers constitutes a pragmatic system of administration for both family members and marines (Levin, 2009). They provide psychological, physical, and technological tools suitable for alienating negative thoughts and feelings such as suicidal ideations. In conclusion
Introduction Across the world, tourism is a major economic activity, which contributes significantly to the economic growth of many countries that have tourist attractions. Since people are social beings, they like travelling to various tourism destinations as tourists. Since routine schedules of workplace and businesses are boring, people use tourism as a means of rejuvenating, gaining motivation, and reflecting about their lives. Over the recent past, tourism has experienced outstanding changes in terms of consumers and their preferences. One of the main entrants into the tourism and hospitality market is the set of consumers that comprise of families and young children. As opposed to the past, where fathers made major decisions concerning holiday destinations, mothers and children are now active participants in decision-making and even have the power to influence the choice of destinations that families visit during holidays. Therefore, the essay describes the families as potential consumers of tourism products and cites the influence that children have in choosing tourism destinations. Influence of Children in Holiday Decision Making Children are part of the family and make up an influential segment of decision makers in the family and thus they participate actively in decision-making. Remarkably, the number of families that visit tourist destinations and hospitality facilities h
The Purposes of the Network There are several purposes of this tertiary care teaching hospital network. First and foremost, a user can obtain information concerning every patient. Both the current health situation and the previous diseases, injuries, and courses of treatment are available. The second purpose is to help specialists put in correspondence their actions: for example, testing data are received by a physician who makes a decision. Then, professionals have a chance to be informed about some practical arrangements, such as board meetings. Further, the members have access to official documents, reports, money matters, and personal records that may be necessary to solve logistical and other issues. Last but not least purpose is to identify mistakes as soon as possible and take corresponding measures. If several persons pay attention to data, it is much easier to find an error. Architecture The components of the hospital’s wireless local area network (WLAN) architecture correspond to what is described in the present-day academic literature (Pathan, Monowar, & Fadlullah, 2013). As for the architecture, its components are relevant to the following model. To begin with, the access point utilized to translate the data between wired and wireless device networking devices is connected by means of Ethernet. The function is to deliver different types of data between the WLAN and, on the other hand, the wired network that is provided by the cable
General purpose: To understand and information. Sprecific purpose: Why beautiful women resist the stereotype that beautiful women only marry attractive men as per the understanding of professionals in the field of interpersonal communication. Central idea: Beautiful women consider inner traits more than the superficiality of physical attractiveness. Introduction Beauty begets beauty. Have you ever heard that before? Most often it refers to a beautiful woman ending up with a good looking/handsome guy. But does that really apply in real life? Dubner wrote the article Why Do Beautiful Women Sometimes Marry Unattractive Men? in order to discuss research by Satoshi Kanazawa wherein he indicated that women have a propensity to choose unattractive men only because of the law of supply and demand. This means that there are simply more attractive women than men. In reality, there are more valid reasons for such a pairing. In my opinion, there is actually a complimentary scenario going on these days that fuel such mismatched marriages. If we go by the reasoning that Dubner quoted from Kanazawa, it will be difficult to understand why these mismatched love pairs often end up married.  1. Why women do not give weight to physical attraction.  2. What do women really consider when looking for a life partner. Body Why women do not give weight to physical attraction According to Von Pfetten (2008) women tend to have passed through an Ugly Duckling stage during their childhood and adult years, causing those whom they considered being attractive men to reject them:   * According to Von Pfetten (2008), such rejection is often carried by women all their lives and therefore serves as one of the bases for the relationships they seek. By seeking out a complementary relationship with a less attractive or ugly male, women feel that they risk less rejection, and the ugly men, who in turn have been rejected by attractive women early on, seek more of complementing relationship with them. The ugly men give the attractive women a sense of completion in their relationship and vice versa.   * At some point during a relationship between a good-looking man and woman, they will tire of the physicality of the attraction and then seek out a deeper meaning in their relationship. One that will actually help them complement each other. Through a complementary relationship, as in between a beautiful woman and an ugly man, the shortcomings of each person are instead filled in by the other partner, resulting in a complementing style of relationship. Dubner stated that Kanazawa’s research indicated that women also indicate the DNA and intellectual capabilities of men when considering a life partner. Although this accounts for the criteria of a woman in choosing her life partner, it does not fully explain why she would opt for an ugly man to marry:   * If we were to follow the analogy stated in Dubner’s article, Kanazawa had basically whittled down the choice of a life partner to a simple
Introduction Canada is one of the countries that have the strongest economy and appropriate living standards. In spite of the fact that the population of this country continues to grow by means of immigrants’ arrival and natural increase (Banta 164), the Canadian economy is characterized by brilliant infrastructure, educated labour forces, and rich reputation. The history of the Canadian economy is great indeed: the beginning of 1980s required changes because of the rapid growth of industrial cities and brought the crisis; the end of the 1980s was known as the greatest recovery of the country and readiness to new improvements and challenges. The world economic crisis, that takes place at the beginning of 2009, touches Canada considerably and makes the Canadian government and the Bank of Canada take the obligatory steps in order to overcome unemployment and fight against inflation. It turns out to be obligatory for the country to cope with economic challenges and be able to provide its population with the necessary living conditions. Over the last two years, the situation with the Canadian economy has undergone considerable changes because of the world economic crisis: the Canadian government and the Bank of Canada have to shape macroeconomic policies in order to change unemployment rates, insure the low level of inflation, meet basic needs of population, and continue reducing poverty. The role of Canadian government and the Bank of Canada in Canadian economy over the last two years Nowadays, the Canadian economy makes this country one of the wealthiest nations and provides it with a chance to dominate over the other countries in oil, automobile, and trade industries. Economy in Canada is regarded as mature and diverse at the same time: advanced services, free trade agreements, and availability of natural resources. The Canadian government and the Bank of Canada present all the necessary financial services in order to call this country as one of those with economic freedoms. They involve “the maintenance of a legal system, protection of persons and property, a sound currency, essential transportation infrastructure, and basic education” (Harris 116). The government of Canada, in the form of a constitutional monarchy, aims at providing the necessary spending and avoiding bankruptcy, improving GDP rates, and stabilizing monetary policy. Current indicators of the Canadian economy have not been changed considerably during the last two years. Of course, the influence of the world economic crisis is noticeable, but still, Canada takes such positions, which will hardly allow its economy to fall dawn. For example, in
Migration is a difficult process to discuss, as it carries a variety of implications, both negative and positive. When considering the results of the process, both the sender and the receiver country must be discussed, as well as the implications for the migrants themselves. Starting off with the implications the process has on the sender country, migration can be considered a largely beneficial process. The decreased number of workers shrinks the labor pool, improving the income of remaining workers, and reducing unemployment (Asch, 1994). Furthermore, if a person moves to a more developed country, they tend to send money back home, supporting the economy of the sender country with additional funds (Asch, 1994). People’s living conditions also improve thanks to the received funds. Notably, however, it should be said that immigration can be destabilizing, as the largest part of the migrant population is young, healthy, working adults with families. Alternatively, the process also has a number of effects on the receiving country. Firstly, the labor force and the number of people contributing to jobs increase, improving access to labor and the price of services for the general population. Secondly, new migrants both earn and spend money, improving the circulation of currency in the economy and revitalizing it with a constant stream of new people. On the negative side, it should be noted that the migrants may be contributing to the problem of employees being underpaid, as employers tend to treat them worse than native workers. The ability to get workers for cheap from the immigrant population drives the jobs away from other populations. Considering the overall implication of migration, it should be also said that the process can facilitate global inequality. Many people escape the unfavorable conditions of their country by moving away, meaning that qualified and strong individuals are not supporting the development of less advanced nations (Crawley, 2018). The trend reinforces the gap between first-world and third-world countries, creating a self-perpetuating cycle.
Introduction I recently added a new phrase to my precious list of big words: mob psychology. This particular new phrase has a special significance to me, since I happen to have experienced it first hand. And having done so, I concur with everything ever written about mob psychology. It is evil. It is retrogressive. It can tarnish your personality for life. It reads off a script from hell. And it can happen to anyone. Background A year ago, I had some pretty intriguing friends. These friends cared nothing about formal education. According to them, the world out there has all the lessons that one needs in this life. And so they used to live a carefree life, bound only by the rules of survival. Surprisingly, they came from quite affluent families, and their parents should have given them a better perspective on life. But as it happened, their parents had their hands full with marital disagreements or career commitments or just total indifference. One of those friends in particular was a real fiend. Jack’s favorite pastime was causing as much misery as possible. If you saw his eyes glistening with joy, someone nearby must be suffering. At first, his unique take on the world had me at a loss. But with time, and prodded on by his “disciples”, I slowly assimilated his opinions and perspectives on life. A favorite saying of his was that rules were made to be broken or at least bent. It became my favorite saying too. A day spent within the boundaries of normal rules became inconceivable. Day of reckoning One day, we went a bit too far. The day started just like any other: with a splitting hangover. After nursing our wayward heads back to normal, we charted out the activities for the day. There were innocent people to hurt, little puppies to kick around, and little children to bully. At the end of it all, there were all sorts of mysterious drinks to put in our systems. A perfect day hence. With Jack as the leader, we set off to accomplish the day’s goals. Trouble began brewing very early on that particular day. Jack snatched a purse from an old lady and began to run away. We all took off after him. Three seconds later, two Alsatian hounds were on to us. We hadn’t seen them before, but obviously they must have been lurking around the old lady. At the sight of the hounds, our excitement turned into terror, and survival took on a whole different meaning. Down the street we all sprinted, our breaths coming fast and hard, and adrenaline pumping everywhere. I realized one thing almost immediately. I was at a clear disadvantage. My buddies had torpedoes somewhere around their feet. In no time at all, I was lagging behind everybody else, and could soon imagine the Alsatians sniffing at my heels. This picture gave me some added stamina, and I gunned down after my buddies. But not for long. An object on the street soon brought me down in a
Introduction Art performs an important role in human life: it is a powerful means to entertain and educate people at the same time. It is hard to image the world without art and the places where people may observe a number of works created by professionals. The Royal Opera House in London is one of the places where art is represented to public in a variety of ways. There are three main products offered in the House: music, ballet, and opera. The point is that art is a very complex field that should be treated and developed carefully, and the administration of the Royal Opera House has to focus on the main aspects of marketing to promote its brand, the Royal Opera House, as well as its products in a perfect way. This is why the idea of branding as the main strategic process used by the Royal Opera House to promote development should be evaluated. Randall (2000, p. 5) admits that brands may exist in any fields in a variety of ways. The Royal Opera House tries to make use of different methods to promote its products and brand around the whole world: online ads, access to the services from different parts of the world, evaluation of current needs and economic condition, and attention to the fields which are interesting to public; the choice of the methods should be based on a number of factors which help to define what is expected from the organization. Body Main ideas of branding Rosenbaum-Elliot et al. (2011) defines a number of socio-cultural perspectives to be analyzed in order to understand the essence of branding and its impact on the development of an organization. The main purpose of branding is to introduce a product and propel the chosen activi
