Essays on Pivot

INTRODUCTION

Buddy's Floor Barn closed the books for three quarters (Q1, Q2, and Q3) of the year. However, Buddy’s Floor Barn has 4 major regions (Mid-states, East, West, and South) and about 18 store locations. There is a request to analyze total sales performances taking into consideration 5 product lines, namely (Cherry, Bamboo, Mahogany, Oak and Maple). Sales revenue data provided by the company through the regional managers from these four regions are collected in excel and analyzed using pivot tables and charts to determine the sales performance. Data provided is raw and must be rearranged from the lists ...

The newly elected Philippine President, Rodrigo Roa Duterte, has been the subject of worldwide debate among political analysts due to his tirades and unpredictable political moves that are perceived to have changed the balance of political powers not only in the Asian region but in the entire world. In the year 2015, President Duterte has announced in his speech during his state visit in China that he is pivoting away from the United States (US) – the Philippines’ long time ally – when it comes to making international policies. He also explained that his government is leaning towards strengthening its ties ...

Introduction

Three-circle analysis is a tool that allows management to give an internal analysis of the organization. Through the analysis, strategies assess the needs of customers, competitors’ offerings, and company offerings for clearly articulating the competitive advantage of the company and way it differentiates itself from its competition. The paper presents the analysis of Netflix’s competitive strategy in the light of three-circle model to better illustrate customers’ needs, company’s offerings, and competitors’ offerings.

Most Important Customer Segments Need or Want from the Product or Service

The first circle represents the consensus of the team on the most important needs or wants of the segment of customers (Pearce, Robinson & Mital, 2012). ...

Abstract

There is always a need for the analysis of various data and information found about an activity to determine how several things are influenced by this data. This data can be for the genearal population or different people where the nature of activy data will be varying. The data and other sampled output will alws assist the researcher to study some of the specified behaviour in the subjects. The first step in the analsysis of any given data will be to understand what the data is alll about. Then the goals of the study or analysis of the data ...

Sorting Algorithms

Introduction Sorting refers to arranging items in a desired manner. This operation finds plenty of applications in real life like searching algorithms, processing data, and for producing human-friendly output. The sorting problem has caught the attention of many researchers. As a result, we find many algorithms to optimize this problem in the required fashion. In this report, we will consider two important sorting algorithms to give readers brief idea about how data management and ordering is done. These sorting algorithms are Insertion sort and Shell sort.

Insertion Sort

It is one of the simplest sorting algorithms based on comparisons between items ...

In the following work we are going to analyze two video clips representing child’s development in the symbolic social environment. The action in the first video clip, “Cats and Dogs,” takes place in the preschool classroom. There are three girls participating in the play. They use the classroom environment as the environment of their play. However, none of the furniture in the room is used for their actions, they imitate all the things that they are and they are going to use. The girls do not use any additional material for their play either, they just decide which ...

Introduction

A haiku is a form of poetry that first gained popularity in Japan. The traditional haiku adopted in the English language has borrowed to a great extent the traditional Japanese Haiku. The basic dictionary definition refers to it as a very short poem that involves a three line description of a passing moment in nature. According to scholastic.com, the greatest challenge in coming up with a Haiku is being limited to 17 syllables. Japanese values the poems for their simplicity, depth, openness and lightness. The structural rules for a traditional Haiku is the use of exactly 17 syllables that ...

SORTING ALGORITHMS

INTRODUCTION Two sorting algorithms are studied in this paper: bubble sort and quicksort. Bubble sort is a comparison-type algorithm. It compares the elements of the array two at a time. It starts comparing from left to right of the array elements. The element with the greater value is placed on the right, and then compared to the next element. This is done until the largest element is placed at the end of the array. At this point, the largest sorted element is considered sorted, while the rest of the elements are unsorted. The algorithm is repeated for the remaining ...

Aircraft control surfaces are components of an aircraft used to control an aircraft. Normally, the control surfaces are movable parts in the plane wings and the tail. The surfaces help the pilot adjust attitude or plane orientation by creating differential pressure on different parts of the aircraft. The difference is pressure produces a force which then acts on the plane to produce the desired effect. Control surfaces employ the principle of lift just like the wings but in different directions. The lift forces produced by a control surface can act independently or in combination with a force from another ...

Introduction

Seasons are caused by tilting of the earth around its navigational plane known as the orbit around the sun. Climate change involves the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. When the earth is in the Southern and Northern hemisphere means that the season is at summer. Changes in the tilt of the earth lead to changes in the severity of the seasons, for example when there is more tilt leads to more severe seasons including warmer summers and colder winter and when the tilt ...

Introduction

In their publication (Jean Louis & Frederic Hitzel) indicates that a vast pan-Islamic state of the Turks started its expansion in the small Turkish emirate location within the boundaries of the present republic of Turkey. It extended to North Africa, some part of Middle East and southeast Europe. It had also gained temporal authority over secluded overseas lands in the mode declarations paying of allegiance to the Sultan and Caliph. The publication further indicates that the empire was the pivot of interactions connecting the Eastern and the Western world for six centuries. This Ottoman Empire was an Islamic successor to ...
