A & F Ltd.: Integrating Learning into Mashup Implementations

I. Introduction Organizations are learning differently. Compared to a conventional model by which individuals, work groups and whole organizations used to learn new business processes, current business practice has opened up new potentials for company-wide learning enabled by ICT platforms and applications. The growing collaboration, communication and sharing learning (and fun) experiences in current business practice is, indeed, both evolutionary and revolutionary. The learning behavior of operating businesses is evolutionary by phasing out older modes of learning (e.g. formal professional development, meetings and water cooler chats) and implementing similar platforms and applications (e.g. interactive, collaborative, user-friendly wikis). Thus, by ...

Kershaw (2013) in his submission reiterated that most people have a misconception about what effective leadership is all about. A good leader ...

The historical perspectives on social work incorporate the idea that it could simply be reduced to common sense of experienced mothers, but the modern understanding of social work moves it far beyond this narrow interpretation. Nowadays, “social workers constantly try to make a positive difference to service users’ lives and support community members in a variety of ways” (Stepney & Ford, 2000, p.xiii). In this process, a balanced combination of theory and practice is required, while practice standards used to protect the individuals in society and enhance social justice are based on the solid body of theoretical perspectives, frameworks and ...

Draw a supply chain (or value net) that traces the various stakeholders involved in the TiVo value chain and their respective interactions. From this, what insights do you get about the relative value that each stakeholder adds in this process? Development of the effective distribution channel strategy and management of channels is vital to the business’ success. Thus, companies are forced to move to a more complex channel design. With a rapid Internet development, the number of industries that completely eliminate physical distribution increased, hence creating new challenges for other companies to enter the market (Mohr, Sengupta, & Slater, 2010, ...

Reciprocity of Marketing & Culture

INTRODUCTION The growing interdependence of global markets has made a more compelling case for culture as an increasingly significant variable in marketing efforts. For one, products and services produced at a global scale find more diverse platforms, particularly across virtual media. The pace, scale and content of products and/or services are, moreover, making an increasing case for more standardized offerings across different marketing contexts. Typically, consumer behavior metrics – including, most notably, conventional market research and more innovative approaches as data analytics platforms and applications – are adopted in order to identify consumer behaviors and needs. This approach to consumer behavior ...

Protecting citizens, business, and property from the threat of terrorism and naturally manmade disasters is arguably a governor’s most salient responsibility.

Hence, a new governor must be briefed on the homeland security and how it applies to the state. The paper will provide the new governor with the essential ...

People have recognized that the modern technological advances that we experience up until now have come with grave implications on environmental issues. Policy makers, debates, and public deliberations on environmental issues are now geared to solving these problems. However, the awareness from the public is not entirely borne out of first hand experiences. After all, we are all not scientists here. The mass media is, in part, responsible for steering public attention towards the myriad environmental issues. Mass media, from its print era to the digital age era of internet and smartphones have always been responsible in both creating ...

Globalization has been a primary driving force in today’s post capitalist world. Yet globalization is not at all easy to define (Al-Rodhan, 3). It is not simply a matter of increasing cultural sharing among people from different parts of the country. Rather, globalization is seen to be a “technological, economic, and political innovation that has dramatically reduced barriers to economic, political, and cultural exchange” (Drezner, 53). More than the micro-processes, globalization has fundamental effects to social, political, and economic process (Al-Rodhan, 3). The effects of globalization are manifold. In one hand, critics see globalization as the cause of ...

Abstract

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are a type of motors that have permanent magnets mounted on the rotors instead of the rotor windings. This particular design gives the motor a few advantages over ordinary induction synchronous motors. The magnets attached to the rotor do not require excitation, which reduces the power consumption in PMSM. This gives the motor high operational efficiency and reduces the motor active diameter. PMSM are therefore associated with applications that require high torque but have limited operation space. The permanent magnets suffer from flux leakage and are therefore aligned in a pattern that minimizes flux ...

Implications of market structure for business and consumers

In a nutshell, economists define a market structure as the characteristics of the market which encompass competitive and organizational characteristics. However, a salient feature used in describing market structures is the number of firms in the market, which in turn dictates the nature of competition and pricing mode. As such, there exist four market structures, which are oligopolistic, monopolistic, perfect competition, and monopoly market structures. Each of the four market structures reflects a generic characterization of a real type market (Nancy and Kamien, 1982). Undeniably, the market structures direct the behavior of firms in the market. ...

Situational Analysis: The issue with the situation at Terracog appears to stem from a lack of communication between team members since everyone is attempting to push their own agenda to the forefront. The situation emerged with the introduction of BirdsI, a handheld GPS device, introduced by Terracog’s competitor named Posthaste. When customer’s used the product and realized its salient features, the sales team headed by Ed Pryor started pressing for development of a similar product (something which the design team was not very sure of). The initial meeting consisted of Fiero, Pryor and Allen Roth – Director of ...

Probation and Parole are the most salient correctional tools in the society’s efforts in enforcing both criminal and juvenile justice. They are essentially designed to motivate offenders into reforming for the better. When a probation sentence is meted, the offenders are allowed to serve their sentences out of prison. They may be assigned community service duties and at the same time be closely monitored by the respective probation authorities. On the other hand parole implies that an offender who is serving a prison sentence is released on account of good behavior especially if the sentence they are serving ...

The social position of Muslim women is covered with decades of double-standards, misinterpretation and over-generalizing. As the result, nowadays there is a certain stereotype of what a Muslim woman should be, how she should behave and how she is to be treated by society in general. These issues concern institutional regulations, gender inequality, policy on women’s body and mobility and imposing the ideal stereotype. Considering these factors, it can be concluded that Muslim women are highly pressured regardless of where they live.

Rigid regulation of gender-based structures

First interesting proof of Muslim’s community double standards is gender-driven limitation is such institutions as ...

Abstract

The Age Graded Theory explain why people with propensity to commit crimes at early stages of their lives desist from offending later on in life while others do not. It was was advanced by Robert J Sampson and John H Laub in 1993. This paper critically analyses the Age Graded Theory. It looks into its historical background, the strengths and flaws associated with it with a view of establishing why its proponents thought that desistance could best be explained by the theory. To this end, it explores the three-fold limbs of the theory. Besides, it examines how its salient ...

Perception: Matching Game

Selection: Salient Information First, the initial stage is the perception process. While at the selection phase, one must identify and gather salient information that is unique. As such, different individuals gather different information from one other due to differences in individual personalities, attitude, and experience. Resultantly, the salient information is gathered, organized, and interpreted to come up with a perception.

There are numerous pieces of salient information that enable me to determine the move to make on each item when in the process of completing as matching game. Arguably, the individual’s gender remains as one piece of information ...

A. Brief Overview of “Is Hooking Up bad for Young Women?”

Several authors look at the sex culture in today’s youths in comparison to the baby boomers. Jessica Valenti(2010) for instance argues that the problem with America today is not the casual sex as it is not new but the moral panic that exists. The mass media has driven sociologists and psychologists to investigate young hookups even more closely. Statistics by CDC and the NHSLS show that young adults today are having far less sex than the baby boomers. Hookups are not free for all as portrayed by the media but is rather a safe manoeuvre by young adults ...

In the history of mankind, one of the most virulent sources of conflict that has emerged out of human fallacies is prejudice and discrimination. From the Holocaust, to the American Civil Rights movement, the lumping up of individuals into groups that possess stereotypes has been a consistent source of destructive conflict throughout the world. A very recent news report details one of its manifestations. Accusing Bank of America of discriminating against minorities, Teresa Dixon Murray of Cleveland.com has imputed that foreclosed homes in African-American and Latino areas are neglected, as compared to typically white neighborhoods.

Law

Cerar (2010, p.4) “stated that it is an imminent characteristic of every law that it is also the means of certain politics”. It bears to stress, however, that law cannot be considered as a pure form through which the political content may be achieved since it is in the very nature of law to become independent or autonomous since it can stand on its own. However, in the case of politics, it cannot exist without the law for it is the law which gives its structure and maintains it within certain limits that are dictated by the concepts of justice ...

History of Interpretation Essay

Introduction "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). The words of this saying are salient in themselves, but they are even more salient when it is considered that when they are spoken and by whom they are spoken. However, they were spoken by a friendless and a poor Christian, in a Jewish Council. Additionally, it was the grand confession of the Christ. Apostle Peter, a man who has forsook the Jesus and then fled away, and denied his God, has also spoken these words. ...

Using Contemporary Policy Examples, Explain What the 'Three Faces of Power' Teach Us about Agenda Setting

Introduction Public policies reflect, on the surface, governmental decision making processes. At a closer look, however, contemporary policies are the result of direct and indirect pressures upon the public or upon political decision-making factors. Steven Luke’s “three faces of power” model includes the decision-making power, the agenda setting and the preference shaping power, explaining three strategies of modeling public opinion by exerting specific aspects of power (Sundstram, 2011). Agenda setting, also named the non-decision-making power of the three faces of power model is a sinuous strategy that various groups can use for placing their problems or their issue as ...

IMPLICIT ASSOCIATION TEST FOR RACE

Abstract The Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures human attitudes. Implicit attitudes are considered those judgments or actions of people that are automatic and the person has no idea what causes that judgment or action. The automatic action is a result of influences from societal beliefs. IAT is different from qualitative psychological tests for measuring attitudes because the measurement is of the cognitive processes of memory that cause a person to show a particular attitude automatically. IAT-Race was used to study racial stereotypes in an experiment to determine if the “Obama Effect” was observed. The participants were prompted to go to a web ...

In the study of voting behavior and representation in any democratic system, there is a relationship between the elite and the mass. Scholars’ perception on the elite is that it affects the attitudes and behavior of the mass. Elite opinion emerges using the accounts of priming persuasion and other theoretical accounts that establish the voting patterns. Recent research suggests that time analyses designed display public and elite opinion. Often the existence of elite consensus depicts an increase in polarization that affects mass opinion. When the elites agree on the issue of policy, it increases the level of political awareness. Political ...

The term “monster” in history has come to be associated with creatures which do not resemble human beings and pose a threat to the existence of man. Monsters are capable of affecting people in a metaphorical sense by influencing the humaneness of humanity, such as the despotic acts of tyrants and the brutality of serial killers. In a literal sense, monsters assume the form of the fictive beats in horror stories or the anthropophagous predators in nature. Sufficient ontological examination is necessary to determine whether monsters happen to be innately evil. But monstrosity is not limited to deviant appearances but extends ...

Speech Critique

Introduction Critique about something or somebody is a process of positive, independent, critical, and unbiased evaluation for better and systematic analysis and interpretation. In order to express or write the critiques of something, one has not only to examine the event or the person very carefully, but also to discover the various aspects that are important for its complete understanding. So, it makes good sense to understand that critiques can be regarded as the useful interpretation of a particular subject. As far as this writing is concerned, I would discuss the critiques of the public meeting which I attended last ...
