Introduction The organization of any theme park is a complex issue that demands numerous resources and unusual approaches to attract customers and guarantee the preservation of a stable level of interest. As for Super Nintendo World, it could also be considered a hard challenge that incorporates several innovations to be able to remain competitive and attract visitors. There are different types of innovations that are used there. However, these are hardly radical ones. The fact is that radical innovation presupposes the creation of a completely new dominant design and new concept that will be later explored to develop a project and guarantee the appearance of new radical changes. Moreover, radical design presupposes that it will alter the public opinion towards the organization of certain events, ventures, etc. Super Nintendo World will become highly competitive and innovative; however, the idea is not new as many theme parks are starting from Disneyland in the USA and ending with the Harry Potter theme park in London ( Universal Studios Japan introduces Super Nintendo World 2017). For this reason, we could not admit radical innovations when speaking about Super Nintendo World. This could be determined as incremental innovation as Nintendo has great expertise in the creation of virtual reality and games (Smith 2009). The company will be able to create a popular theme park using the motifs of popular games. Furthermore, architectural innovation could also be observed here (Smith 2009). The company preserves traditional patterns used for theme parks, but it introduces technological advances to alter the way they are designed to work together. In such a way some unusual attractions, elements, etc. will be presented in the Super Nintendo World. It will help the company to attract new customers. Role fans in innovation One should perfectly realize the fact that running a new business or creation of a new business venture is a complex process that should be precondition by the investigation of the market and deep analysis of the most popular tendencies. The fact is that only the consideration of current needs along with the demands of the target audience will help to attain success. For this reason, Super Nintendo World should also incorporate some innovative ideas to guarantee success and be ready to attract new customers. Fans are the most obvious source for innovative ideas that look forward to the creation of the given park and will visit it during the first days. For this reason, it is crucial not to disappoint them as this category comprise the target audience. In such a way, they should be provided with an opportunity to describe their ideas. The website could help to do it. It will become an endless source of innovative ideas. Fans have their vision of a new theme park. Because of their outstanding knowledge of the issue and great devotion their ideas will have a great positive impact on the theme park and contribute to its blistering rise. Another source of innovative ideas could be found in the leading designers who have outstanding approaches that should be realized to alter the image of all
This paper is a summary of the public domain and the changes to be done to eradicate the modern isolation created by modern planning and development. The dead public space as the domain is abandoned for being empty and meaningless through the arrangement of space in urban areas. Professionals like architects are used to intensify this problem by planning large-scale; high-density buildings and skyscrapers construction that creates a dictation that the street society itself is dead. As a result, these phenomena kill the diversity of activities taking place around commercial and residential buildings. This modern planning further results in the death of the public square that plays the role of bringing different people and activities together. (Sennett 12-27) However, the clash forms part of a major contradiction where the worldwide school was devoted to the idea of visibility in building construction; which proposed that walls be permeable by being made of glass through the social isolation of these buildings raised another question. Some World cities experiencing this problem include New York and London where the cities don’t show any sense of being sensitive to the need for the public domain. The factual lesson of Brunswick can be depicted from the central concourse that contains a few shops; a wide area of empty space and concrete benches that one can sit on and relax made for only the role of serving the public as opposed to the congested concourse of the city center. The visual communication of the glass walls is that the in and outside of dwelling places should not differ much; while the concourse emphasizes the creation of lively public space, that does not only act as a movement space as this role is taken by transport means. It should also play the role of bringing people together for each other’s surveillance; as is the case with the open-floor office plan. This, therefore, brings in the thesis of this paper that these obvious characteristics of an unsteady individual and void public life; have taken years in the making since the initial changes that began with the fall of the antique regime at the expense of secular urban capitalism. (Sennett 12-27) The changes in the public have to begin with the elaborate understanding of the words public; which is used to imply the common good in a society that is open and evident to general observation; while private as used to imply to the privileged, and at a higher governmental level class and the sheltered section of life shaped by an individuals family and friends. Additionally, every individual is considered to have a private and public aspect of life; where the Bourgeois class cities like Paris became less concerned about their social origins and instead find social life away from the family in the public sphere that provided for the diversity of people that is needed. The concept “cosmopolitan” comes in; by that, it relates to the comfort achieved not being in a situation linked or associated to what is familiar to one’s background. The cosmopolitan individual was also used to refer to the perfect public man that takes pleasure in sophisticated di
The idea of spreading the wastewater into the scrub forest after the wastewater had been cleaned off the inorganic sediments and materials and removing the toxicant chemicals is indeed a very creative idea as it will have more positive ecological effects. First, the scrub forest will become very productive and there will be the growth of several species of flora thus the beauty of the land. The presence of beautiful green vegetation will on the other hand provide food for the fauna. Therefore the forest will be inhabited by different herbivorous animals since there is ready food. The existence of herbivores will consequently attract carnivores in the forest that will feed on the herbivores. The presence of animals in the forest also promotes the growth and nourishment of the forest. The waste product from the animals provides manure that boosts the growth of the vegetation. The animals also die and decay thus providing manure creating rich soils. The presence of precipitation from the trees will be a source of rain and the temperatures in the area will also go down due to convection currents. The occurrence of rain in the area will lead to the formation of streams in the forest. Some of the plants in the forest can also be a source of food for the community living around the forest. The plants may also be a source of herbs for treating various diseases in the community. In addition, the forest will provide fuel and timber. The forest can also be used for economic activities. The forests can later be transformed into a game park or an animal zoo which can earn the government a substantial amount of revenue. All these economic activities will create employment opportunities for the general populace.
Islamic indexing was first introduced by Dow Jones in Bahrain in 1999. It was meant for investors looking for investment opportunities which comply with the Muslim sharia ethics principles. The Dow Jones Islamic Market Index (DJIM) regulations have been approved by Standard 21 of the Auditing & Accounting Organisation of Islamic Financial Institution (AAOIFI). The DJIM is present in the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia. This index ascertains the performance of worldwide investment securities (approximately 95 percent market coverage of 44 states) that are compliant with Sharia ethical principles and are in consistent with the Dow Jones Indexes’ rule-based appraisal method. The DJIM is meant to show the underlying expectations from various financial packages such as exchange-traded funds (EFTs), or as a standard for well managed mutual funds (Baum, 6). The DJIM has an independent supervisory body that is based on Sharia law. The board scrutinizes and screens the equities in two stages. The first stage involves screening out firm’s that deal in such goods and services as alcoholic products, pork-related products, weapons, entertainment services, conventional financial services. The second stage involves screening out companies according to financial ratios and indicators. Ratios like liquidity, profitability, and long-term solvency are used to remove firms that are not in accordance to Dow Jones’ methodology. Equities that go through stages one and two are counted in the Dow Jones Islamic Index family and set as subsets of this standard. The DJIM is measured by float-adjusted market capitalisation. It is measured in United States dollar and is evaluated quarterly per annum in March, June, September, and December. At the moment there are over 75 licensees holding more than US$7 billion in equities standardised in the DJIM (Baum, 6). In 2006, Dow Jones Indexes and Sam Group collaborated to introduce the innovative Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI). This index combines Muslim Sharia Investing laws and sustainability method by merging the criteria of DJIM and DJSI, to respond to the emerging market demand of complaint equity indexes. The DJSI shows firm’s that are in compliance with Sharia laws and uphold corporate sustainability leadership. The companies must also be in consistence with Dow Jones methodology. The graph below shows the performance of the DJIM since April 2009 to February 2010 (ADVN PLC, 2010). Dow Jones Islamic Market Titans 100 Index Historical Stock Chart There are different classes of index-related investments that an individual can add to his or her portfolio. There are large-cap value and growth, mid-cap and small-cap price and augmentation, international including developing markets, EFTs, bonds, money and others. Most investors find it hard to scre
Introduction Conducting business encompasses the exchange of goods and services with the intention of making a profit. However, a stakeholder (an individual or a group of people who can affect or are affected by the organization’s purpose) in any business will manage the resources not to increase the proceeds of the business, but to elevate their socioeconomic standing. This idea has been viewed as one of the elements used to justify the existence of the business. The ethics surrounding an affirmation that the primary goal of a business is to maximize the wealth of the stakeholder is discussed in this paper. The main objective of the discussion is to ascertain whether it is ethically acceptable or unethical for any business to maximize the wealth of its stakeholders. Legitimate Existence of a Business The existence of any business is aimed at several factors, including raising the living standards and welfare of the entrepreneur (Miller & Breton‐Miller, 2014). However, the legitimacy of the existence is governed by the overall effects of the business on society and the ability to meet the set standards of operations. If a business poses a threat to consumers and society through exploitation, its existence could be compromised. Therefore, any business must address the welfare of its stakeholders. However, the interests addressed should not override the benefits of the business to society (Ayuso, Rodríguez, García-Castro, & Ariño, 2014). Maximization of Stakeholder Wealth is Ethical The stakeholder theory proposed by Harrison, Freeman, and de Abreu (2015) explains that the core objective of any business is to attend to the interests and wellbeing of its stakeholders. This statement means that all stakeholders should be treated with equality, decency, and generosity, which is an ethically acceptable concept. However, as a business satisfies the needs of its partisans, its operations should be in line with the set morals as defined by the statutes of the
Organization Auditing a project proposal is a critical aspect of project management. The auditing process allows for identifying the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed plan, as well as validating “whether the project teams are utilizing the appropriate project management processes” (Hossain, 2010, p. 29). The project proposal on the construction of the Adelaide Metro Railway road is well-organized in terms of the delivery of the information concerning the planning and execution. The project’s goals of updating the metro network of Adelaide are relevant to the requirements of the fast-growing city. The rationale for the project implementation is provided in a logical manner and properly supported by evidence. Also, the audited project proposal is presented in detail, with every aspect of the process being articulated and justified. All phases necessary for the process initiation and successful project completion are addressed and explained. The graphs, tables, and other means of visual presentation make the proposal appealing and comprehensive. This aspect of the proposal organization contributes to the clarity of the goals pursued. Overall, the organization of the project allows for formulating clear project goals and making an informed decision as per its feasibility. Planning The planning stage of any project is the core of the overall process since it identifies the scope of actions with respect to their potential contribution to the goal achievement. Although the perspectives to project management and planning vary depending on the type of project and the manager’s approach, planning remains an important issue when designing a project (Andersen, 2016). The interests of numerous stakeholders involved in the project are clearly stated, which contributes to the validation of the project’s necessity. The reconstruction and improvement of the metropolitan transportation net influence the performance of multiple organizations and individuals who use this transportation network on a daily basis. Therefore, the engagement of the community and key stakeholders is crucial for project planning. The establishment of relations with key stakeholders is demonstrated via stakeholder identification and prioritization matrix and alternative breaks project stakeholder matrix. Nonetheless, planning must involve the articulation of the responsibilities and tasks that are planned to be performed by the staff members (Kerzner, 2017). However, the staffing aspect is not addressed; the project team and their responsibilities are only described in the project meeting minutes. Execution The process of project execution is key to project success. It is important to attract necessary means and organize the project process in a way that would allow for achieving planned goals. Since the planning phase of the Adelaide Metro Rail Project is adequately presented, the execution phase is expected to be effective under the conditions of strict alignment to the plan. However, there are several drawbacks that might diminish the flawless execution of the project. The specific project execution considerations are
In the increasingly complex business environments, today more people recognise the role of leadership in a company’s success. Scholars have long argued what makes an individual an exceptional leader and proposed several approaches to leadership. There are certain well-recognised attributes of leadership that if applied effectively will help me be a better leader. Leaders are often described as authoritative, passionate, charismatic, and have a certain vision of how things should be done. These qualities are connected with their role, which is to manage people and inspire them. There are several approaches to leadership, most notably, transformational and transactional approaches. Some of the famous politicians and business executives are described as transformational leaders. A great example of an exceptional transformational leader is the former CEO of Apple, Inc., Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs’ leadership might be seen as transformational since he inspired his employees and followers to achieve extraordinary goals (Lowe, Kroeck & Sivasubramaniam 1996). Steve Jobs was known for his creative abilities and is often described as a visionary, or someone who had a certain vision for his company, and managed to articulate it in such a way that it inspired his followers and ultimately helped him achieve his goals. Steve Jobs expected high performance from his employees by transforming work into a vision of the future and stimulating people to do their best. Transactional leadership is another approach to leadership. Unlike transformational leaders, transactional leaders do not want a radical change and do not use their vision of the future as the main motivational point. Rather, transactional leaders focus on current performance and aim to enhance it by utilising a system of re
International Relations theories are generally associated with the states and their systems. The state is considered to be a country since it has its national government and residents. Furthermore, the state is viewed as a legal institution in its relations with others. In addition, it is considered to be a substantial political-economic organization: its efficiency is determined according to economic basis, political organizations, and national union. The state’s power is identified by its organizations’ capability rather than its territory. For instance, most relatively large western states have not formed a strong national government like Nigeria or Congo. Consequently, as they cannot meet expectations regarding freedom, progress, or justice, it becomes a global problem. However, International Relations are dynamic and alternate with the political and economic modifications. Thus, even undeveloped states can advance their national governments. Overall, as International Relations change, the states governments alternate. Political organizations are not consistent and are adjusted according to the ongoing global problems in state regulation
Introduction There has been a raging debate as to whether or not class size is important in defining the value of education in the learning institutions. Some stakeholders have argued that class size plays an important role in determining the quality of education that learners get. According to Hacsi (45), class size is very important when looking for quality learning process. This view is held by various educationists. However, there are those who believe that with the invention of assistive technologies in the education sector, class size may not be an important factor in determining the quality of learning. This school of thought has increasingly become relevant in the recent past following the rapid development of technology in the education sector. This research will review both arguments by reviewing scholarly works and the arguments made by educators and other professionals in this field. The researcher seeks to determine the truth behind the argument that small classes are important in improving the quality of education. Arguments for Small Classes There has been a massive support for small class sizes as a way of improving the quality of education. According to Ozmon (47), there was almost a near unanimous belief among the stakeholders in the education sector that small classes help in improving the quality of education. In order to understand the benefits gained from the small classes, it is important to look at the specific stakeholders who directly benefit from having small classes. According to Finn (73) small classes are very beneficial to learners in various ways. Having small sized classes make it easy for the learners to have a close attention to their teachers. The increased accessibility of the teachers makes it easy for the learners to address the specific problems with the teachers that would improve the learning process. A student would find it easy to talk to the teacher and ask the relevant questions when a concept is not clearly understood. A student is also able to discuss the personal issues that are relevant to the leaning process with the teachers. This will make it possible to identify the personal or family issues that may affect the learning process. Small class size also eliminates the scramble for resources within the classes. In crowded classrooms, learners are forced to struggle for such facilities as the learning materials and even seats. This is very different when it comes to a small class size. When the size of the class is small, it is easy to distribute these resources to ensure that that every learner is taken care of effectively. Teachers benefit a lot when they are assigned the small sized classes. Acco
“Peter Pan” by J.M. Barrie is a unique story, which tells tales about children in a tone more typical for an adult literature. The main character of Barrie’s books is a magic boy who does not grow older. There are three main propositions concerning Peter Pan. The first one is the result of his unique ability – the time does not pass for him (there is no past and no future). The second proposition is that he doesn’t differentiate between what is “real” and what is “make-believe.” The third proposition is that Peter doesn’t love anybody except himself. All the above-mentioned propositions are interrelated in Barrie’s depiction of Peter in a way that often creates new qualities of the character and violates initial propositions. Barrie introduces his character as an ordinary boy. In his physical appearance, Peter Pan does not differ greatly from the ordinary children. He is described as “a lovely boy, clad in skeleton leaves and the juices that ooze out of trees but the most entrancing thing about him was that he had all his first teeth” (Barrie 10). The character of the boy is determined by his connection with the world of magic and the Neverland island in particular. Numerous adventures disclose different traits of Peter’s character, showing him as an adult person rather than a “lovely boy.” The first proposition about Peter Pan is a little boy who whom there is no past and no future. Peter is self-centered to the extent that prevents him from following the course of events. Peter does not have a concept of exact time and time flow. When he is asked about his age, he replies “I don’t know… “but I am quite young” (Barrie 23). Specific perception of time that Peter possesses is closely connected with his self-consciousness. The boy easily forgets what happened to him and lives in the now. For example, when Wendy warns him that sewing his shadow might hurt, the boy replies “Oh, I shan’t cry”. Peter says this because he “was already of the opinion that he had never cried in his life” (Barrie 10). Peter utterly forgets that he was crying a moment ago. Peter’s special perception of time influences his memory it is difficult for him to remember his friends. The second proposition concerning Peter Pan is that he doesn’t differentiate between what is “real” and what is “make-believe”. For Peter imaginary and unnatural things and act
