Introduction

Increasingly difficult geographic conditions and harsh climatic conditions coupled by climate change have emerged as key causes of migration as persons affected by the crisis escape from the rigors that come with the conditions. In most cases, it is vulnerable persons who are most affected by the extreme geographical and climatic conditions and who seek to find ways of grappling with the problem. Most of the time, migration has always presented itself as a viable solution for the vulnerable persons to other areas in a bid to cushion themselves against the tough conditions. Nonetheless, migration, albeit seen as a viable option by ...

1. Joint ventures can be very unstable if the partnership is not properly established. For a company like GE, with a large amount of income to invest in new partnerships and new strategies, it can certainly be beneficial to build their own venture from scratch as a greenfield venture (Business Leadership Management, 2015). However, when GE was utilizing acquisitions and greenfield ventures, the economy was a very different animal than it is today. Today, the economy is much weaker than it was in the years prior to the 2008-2009 downturn; risk in the marketplace needs to be carefully considered and avoided by most ...

One of the most detrimental outcomes of climate change, particularly unpredictable rainfall patterns, is water shortage. Since water is essential, it is highly important that concerned public and private entities prevent or address water shortage. Fortuitously, opportunities exist to manage water shortage. Infrastructure development, for instance, is one of the solutions to water shortage. Communities, particularly those with limited water sources such as countries in the dry regions of South Africa, need infrastructure that would curb shortage. Existing infrastructure include those that contribute to water supply management as well as other systems or schemes that aim towards similar goals. ...

Daniel Goleman starts his article asking two rhetorical questions. The first asks “What do effective leaders do?” The second question asks “What should leaders do?” Goleman retains that these two questions are relatively easy for people studying leadership to answer. But the real purpose of the essay is to answer “how?” This is because the “mystery of what leaders can and ought to do in order to spark the best performance from their people is age-old,” (Goleman 78). He goes to on to write about how there is an emergence of leadership experts trying to offer advice to young ...

Abstract

The issue of free will (freedom) versus determination has been around for a long time. It has continued to be a puzzle for philosophers ever since. Philosophers face such trouble with the issue of freedom versus determination because without freedom morality would be unheard of among the humankind; and such there would be no good, no wrong, or evil. All of humankind’s behavior would be priory determined, and; therefore, man would be left with no choice or creativity (Fischer 1994).

Background

Successful modern business marketing lays emphasis on meeting the needs of the customers. This focus is a departure in the opposite direction from the traditional business whose major concern was selling its products or services. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is one way of meeting not only the direct customers’ desires but also the needs and expectations of all the stakeholders of a business (Ortenblad 2016). Unethical profiteering practices of large companies and customer awareness due to free flow of information have forced many companies to make CSR a key strategic focus in their conduct of business. Besides enabling a ...

Scenarios that were described in the case will always have opponents and proponents, because all stakeholders have different moral values and needs. As for me, I would assess what direct and indirect impact three decisions would have on me. If negative consequences, including increased expenses, are more or less reasonable, I will accept stricter policies. In contrast, when expenses are too high and harm both businesses and my interests, I would be against the measures that the government would like to take in order to reduce the terrorist threat and prevent climate change. I think it is important to ...
