Chapter II - Literature Review

Section I – Literature Search In this paper, the author hypothesized that one of the major causes of Ford Motors’ demise, in terms of organizational performance, is its inability to address the causes of its product recalls, which consequently led to significant financial setbacks and brand and image deterioration. The recalls of Ford previous products affected its short – term performances and damaged its image, determining prospect customers to shift their focus from Ford to other automobile brands. Nevertheless, the company continuously strives to improve its image, enhance its effectiveness and satisfy customers, through its strategic growth plan (Fleming, 2010). Committed ...

Before breaking into market research and study, one should be aware of the most common mistakes associated with researching, analyzing and applying information. Only those researchers who are aware of potential mistakes and the most wide-spread cognitive biases can avoid them easily and deliver a high-quality research. First of all, “confirmation bias is one of the most common cognitive biases for entrepreneurs”, in particular for those who are dedicated to and passionate about what they do (qtd. in Forbes.com). To put it otherwise, an entrepreneur or researcher believes in a particular idea so strongly that he/she does not require ...

Personal Essay

I had always been fascinated by the skills possessed by the great public speakers. It was a pleasure to witness the power of expression displayed by the orators. I always thought that, to get the recognition and popularity, oratory is the best method. Every time I was swayed by any eloquent speaker, the desire to imitate the performance, similar to one that witnessed, arose. However, there was a big problem that always held me back from taking the initiative. It was the fear of being mocked in the event of performance going haywire. Whenever I thought of addressing a ...

Marketing research gives the opportunity and means for the companies to learn their customers, or it links consumers to marketers through information. Also, it helps to identify problems and opportunities, evaluate marketing strategies and their performance (Shoemaker 1994, p. 39). The research process consists of six steps with many implications to be considered to avoid problems. The first step is identification of managerial problems and research objectives (Walker & Mullins 2014, p. 136). The most frequent mistake of marketers is defining unclear objectives which threatens the whole research process. For example, the tactic problems, such as pricing, demand specific goals, ...

Discussion Question 1

Informed consent is not an event and it is a process of communication that must continuously occur between the researchers and the participants. Being a process, then there are chances of mistakes and errors and this is even so for the well-trained and even the well-intentioned researchers. Individual informed consent does not necessarily offer the best approach to addressing the occurring mistakes and errors and there is need for alternative methods of consent (Shelton, Freeman, Fish, Bachman & Richardson, 2015). This is because it limits the communication between the research and the participant and at times, the participant may not ...

This essay researches and describes typical errors in the data gathered during investigations and factors resulting in wrongful imprisonment.

One of the most important facets of human interaction is communication. Communication is an essential element to building personal and professional relationships. Furthermore, it can make or break a person in the professional field. Exchanging feedback with someone is bigger than being able to say “hi” and “bye”. Communication is not one-dimensional. It should be liquid and pliable like the endless options of professions in the world. There is no one way to master the art of communication. That fact alone is common knowledge. There are plenty of reasons why communication as a professional is important, and there are ...

Patient safety is a concept that continues to arouse debate in healthcare, as stakeholders in this industry try to delineate ways in which this can be achieved safety can be achieved.

Character Letter

X has always been and continues to be an ideal parent. His current struggle for Deven's (his son's) custody is not only an evidence of his dedication as a good father but also of his commitment and moral character as a responsible and dependable person. X has been, admittedly, incarcerated for around seven years. This incarceration is usually used against persons – particularly as in my ex husband's case – as an evidence of irresponsibility, if not outright moral condemnation. The historical and current state of affairs is proof to contrary. If anything, X has been and continues to be a ...

That is why employers prefer to hire teams for working on some specific projects. Therefore the best teams are more likely to get the jobs, but let us to ...

Cause of Accident

The collision of two Boeing 747s i.e. KLM Flight 4805 (KLM) and Pan Am Flight 1736 (Pan Am) at Los Rodeos Airport in the 27th of March 1977, was a consequence of a series bad judgments and poor luck. The terrorist bombing of a passenger terminal at Las Palmas Airport led to closure of the airport, and the diversion of considerable traffic to Los Rodeos (Tenerife) Airport with inadequate capacity (notably parking and staff). The congestion led to the routine back taxing, which put the two aircrafts on the runway. Other important causal factors include:

Poor visibility

The rapid deterioration of ...

How can reporting near-misses prevent harm and improve outcomes?

Majorly the cause of a near miss is a faulty process or management system.

Reporting near misses helps in the prevention of future harm related instances and improve outcomes in the following ways:

Law and Ethics in Intelligence

1. An element of the National Security Act of 1947 stated: ‘No United States intelligence information may be provided to the United Nations or any organisation affiliated with the United Nations.’ Briefly defend this position from an ethical position. There are many concerns about the United States sharing intelligence information with the United Nations as a lot of the information is highly confidential. Other countries have failed to commit themselves to protecting the information that the United States contributes, which makes intelligence sharing highly problematic from an ethical perspective due to the sensitivity of the information. Instead, the United ...

I cannot change my past. But, definitely I can change my attitude about something that happened to me in the past. In other words, I can change the way I think about my past so that my past wouldn’t ruin my future. It is true that man is a slave of his thoughts. Thoughts inspire human action and character; and character defines a person. Therefore, a person can change his character by changing the way he processes past failures and misgivings. So never let your past control your future. Your past is the finest teacher you could ever ...

Personal Statement

1. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story. When I was a child, I was young, aggressive and rebellious; thinking back on it, it was likely a product of my parentage, which was never the most loving and accommodating of relationships.

Critical thinking is an inherent part of professional life and a key to making sound decisions and coming up with effective solutions to every problem. It is rightfully said that “if problem solving is the car that gets your business to its goals, critical thinking skills are the gas” (“How to make better decisions,” n.d.). I believe that without using critical thinking a professional can make significant mistakes that will cost him and his company money and reputation. For me, this set of skills is always particularly helpful when I need to get rid of my biases, emotional influence ...

Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) has a much-documented history in healthcare. Dating back to 1916, a Boston surgeon, Ernest Codman, established a set of criteria that sought to improve hospital care (Lombardozzi, 2011, internet). The five criteria later evolved into the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, which set minimal standards for healthcare in hospitals, especially surgical departments (Lombardozzi, 2012, internet). The 1970s marked the beginning of a period known as divergence, when non-physician stakeholders, such as administrators, began to "define, measure, and report healthcare outcomes" (Lombardozzi, 2011, internet). By the 1980s, the CQI movement was nearly in full swing. ...

Through parental interviews and naturalistic observation along with other investigation methods, she found four vital parenting dimensions: Disciplinary strategies, styles of communication, maturity and control expectations, and warmth and nurturance.

International business is a complex ecosystem. As enterprises of all size and activity engage in business dealings on a regular basis, differential modes of interaction emerge. Notably, cross-cultural communication is becoming increasingly a mandate for performing business functions not only locally and abroad. Accordingly, competencies for cross-cultural interactions become a requirement for successful business. This applies, more specifically, to staff who is assigned internally for short or long business positions. True, international business has been a staple of human activity for millennia. However, current business ecosystem departs radically from conventional business practices. Characteristically, current business is more overlapping and ...

Back at the beginning of the course I was talking about positive and negative leadership experiences that I gained during my time in the Security Sector in Saudi Arabia.

It was an impressive contrast of two completely different leadership styles, and I would like to focus this work on the positive experience and ...

The role of feedback

Behaviorist theory was firstly introduced by Skinner. The main idea of the theory is that the learner is passive. Skinner stated that a learner’s mind should be clear. This will let him or her receive both positive and negative experience while learning. Behaviorism theory is based on the principle of punishment and reward. Feedback in the behaviorism theory plays a significant role. The point is that the external feedback helps the learner understand the mistakes and the step that should be taken next. Feedback provides the learner with correct information.

Sociocultural theory of learning was firstly presented by Vygotsky. He stated:

“The social dimension of consciousness is primary in time and ...
