..."broadbanding" refers to the melding of job clusters or tiers of positions into relatively wide bands of pay ranges for the express purpose of gaining flexibility in managing career growth and administering base pay. In effect the bands are implemented as an alternative to traditional pay grade structures. Banding collapses a number of pay ranges in a traditional structure into a few broad bands, each spanning the pay opportunity formerly covered by several separate pay ranges. Companies adopting this approach generally have reduced the number of pay ranges by one half to two thirds. In many organizations, employees are facing fewer advancement opportunities. This is due to a number of factors, such as the wave of baby boomers bottlenecked in middle- management jobs. Also, as organizations become leaner and flatter, many promotional opportunities have disappeared as a result of mergers, restructuring and downsizing. Broadbands help reset employee expectations and create realistic career aspirations by redefining promotional opportunities. With fewer bands, employees recognize that promotions (as only defined by a change to higher grade level) will occur less frequently than before. Also, since the broadbands are typically further apart than traditional ranges, employees recognize that they must assume significantly greater job responsibilities to warrant placement in a higher band. Traditional ranges may inhibit skill acquisition and cross training since jobs are narrowly...

...1. What problems does Robin Hood have? What issues need to be addressed? Ans: The Increasing size of the band had been the core problem for Robin Hood, because it was getting very hard to manage the band. The core issues were the lack of discipline in band and the cost of buying the food was draining the bands financial reserves. 2. Do Robin Hood and his band need a new mission? new objectives? For example: why not accept the offer of the barons to assist in securing King Richard¡¯s release from prison (give me pros and cons for that possible new mission, and do you suggest adopt this new mission)? Ans: Yes, Robin Hood and his band need a new mission, a new objective and a good strategy. He should adopt a new mission to free the people from Prince John and return king Richard to the throne. Robin Hood can also join with barons to collect the ransom to release King Richard. This option might seems risky but he has to do something, which is better than doing nothing and getting caught my Sheriff. His present strategy has been outdated and it could not work at the time when his enemy is too strong and well planned. 3. . What strategic options does Robin Hood have? Is continuing with the present strategy an option or is the present strategy obsolete? For example, why not try to end the campaign by killing the Sheriff; why not try to move to another...

...life. The night was filled with a bunch of new experiences and memorable ones as well. I was 16 years old, was always into punk rock and the related genres, slowly transitioning into hardcore rock and metal. At the time I was not aware of the huge differences of the variety of music scenes, I was used to going to a very small local punk rock show; an environment where I knew almost everyone at the show, and more than likely the band playing as well. Well, local shows are only fun for so long. It was nearly my birthday I wanted to nothing more than to go to a real concert with names that were known by more than just the kids at my school. Sure enough I was going to get my chance! A couple of my friends were planning on going to a show, but one of their friends dropped out on them so they had an extra ticket. They offered me the ticket and I accepted in an instant! This show was consisted of 4 bands, 3 of which were on my top 10 favorite bands list. Underoath, The Devil Wears Prada and Saosin, I couldn’t believe that I was going to go see these bands live! The day of the show finally arrived, I could barely contain my excitement throughout the day, hours seemed like days while I basically watched the clock. Finally I was picked up and off to the show we went. This had to be longest rides of my life! The venue was in Royal Oak, which happened to be only 45 minutes away, but by this time I was so eager that a minute in the car might as well been a lifetime. As we were driving...

...Session musicians What do they do? Go on tour with bands. Session musicians sometimes go on tour with bands; this involves getting paid a certain amount to play various gigs and concerts around a certain part of the world (or indeed all of it!). A session musician will either ask the company, or the company will ask the session musician to go and play either a whole tour, or just a few numbers in the tour. There is a large amount of gambling involved when it comes to being a session musician or hiring one. This is due to the fact that: a session musician gets pain a certain amount for the show (say £1,000), if the show is a total flop then the record label will lose money, BUT if the show is a roaring success then the record label will make mega bucks. The gamble for the session musician is that he or she can’t go back and claim a percentage of the profits if it is particularly good. The session musician gets paid a set amount and no more. Recording sessions. Quite often a session musician will go for a recording of a single or a few tracks. This will involve the producer talking with the session musician, and agreeing a set amount of pay, agreeing the song(s) that will be performed, and how long it will take, and possible whether it will be split over multiple sessions of not. After the terms have been agreed, the rehearsal and tuning will be done, this involves the band and session musician playing the first few seconds of each song, and adjusting their instruments until...

...Crystle Clark Mari Wolf CWIII Music is the key to the soul For all of time music has been a way to express ones feelings. Right before a Football game the band plays, at a wedding the bride and groom pick one song to be their first dance and at church the congregation sings hymns. Just as each song is unique, so are the musicians that compose the music. This essay will address a dear friend of mine, a musician named Nick Bonner and his many accomplishments, with his education, a band member, and for his future in music. Nick Bonner and I have known each other for many years and he is a dear friend of mine. Nick is very eccentric and unique. The both of us went to Jackson High School and attended Hocking College. He Graduated with an Associates of applied business majoring in music business specializing in audio performance and production. He also has an Audio engineering certification from a production studio in Chillicothe Ohio. Like I said before, Nick is very unique he as always carved out his own path. Nick is a long haired, free thinking, opinionative person. He is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in or to say what is on his mind. I asked Nick what made him want to become a musician and as he sat there at his computer with his guitar in hand, he looked at me and said “first and for most to express myself, secondly I want to make people feel the way my favorite musicians make me feel”. In order to be fulfilled in his career he has to be constantly setting...

...promote your product to a mass audience. Below the line is looking to reach a customer not a whole bunch of people, an example of a below the line is using catalogues, direct mail. An above the line strategy used by diesel is through commercials and billboards. The Television ad of diesel has probably the biggest impact to their company because everyone watches television. When people see their advertisement they will think about the product and if they like it they might go to a Diesel store and buy their products. Another above the line strategy that Diesel uses is music. They now have their own radio station and they sign bands that are unknown and give them a chance to be heard by people. This can help Diesel to promote their company because when the unsigned band becomes famous Diesel will sponsor them when they go to tours and concerts. People who like the band will copy what their wearing and therefore diesel will be able to sell. A below the line strategy that Diesel uses is they have special offers. Customer’s loves special offers, so when they see that Diesel has a special offer, they will go in the shop and possibly buy their products. Another below the line strategy is in-store sales. This is when a customer goes in your shop and a sales person will try and explain, promote the product to...

...Nowadays , for most teenage girls, fangirl is a normal thing. music is just a part of every day of our life. Being one of them is quite real because of their innocent young mind but for sure, they prefer certain bands and have their favorite songs that they played all over again, but in comparison to being a fan girl, that's just a drop in the ocean. (BAZILAH) Super fans, better known as fan girls, devote themselves to books, television shows, movies, music, and celebrities all the time. Whether it's purchasing the newest merchandise or attending the next concert, fan girls make it a mission to support their obsessions as much as possible. For me, it all started when a friend introduced me to the world's most famous band such as, artic monkeys, the beatles, one direction, the vamps and more! And kpop too hehehe (ANIS) What started out as a simple hobby soon became an obsession. My friends started following the band members on social media in the beginning. That quickly turned into purchasing albums, posters, notebooks, and even pillows that have their faces on them. They're the first thing on our mind when we wake up, the last thought that comes to mind before bed, and nearly every thought in-between. (MARYAM) Being a fan girl was never easy. Apart from the constant heartache that results from knowing you'll never be with them, fan girls have to face many challenges. From school mates poking fun at us to family members disapproving, the whole experience can become...

...wanted this record to be the one that would push them in the ranks of major bands like Shinedown, Alterbridge, Three Days Grace, Five Finger Death Punch, and among other notable acts. With 7 songs written in late 2012, the band started writing and recording demos for various months. Despite, guitarist Keith Wallen leaving Adelitas Way in May of 2013 his departure did not stop the band from making their long anticipated release. The band’s original plan for Stuck was to release a total of 12 songs, 11 in your face songs and one song with a pop vibe a song called “Drive”. Pre-Production for the new record started on July 31st, 2013 with Nick Raskulenicz revealed as the producer. The band started recording in early September at a cabin in Rock Falcon Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. It wasn’t long until the band’s record label Virgin Records, got involved in the making of Stuck. After, reviewing the band’s track list and demos the label rejected the release of 2 songs “Undercover You” and “Deserve This”. Although the song “Drive” was the only intended track to have a pop side to it the label demanded new songs to be written that had a more alternative sound. Several New songs were written including the ballad “Undivided” and the melodic track “Something More” both songs were some of the last songs recorded and were added on Stuck to replace the 2 songs that were removed. For nearly 3 months the band vigorously worked on reinventing the new record in the way the label had...

...The Band I chose to do my concert report on is none other than John Mayer. Ironically a few hours before attending this concert I had no idea who this performer was, I blindly trusted a good friend of mine, and bought tickets for both us. Having no idea what i was getting into, not to mention this would be the first concert i would ever attend, it ended up being one of the best decisions i have ever made. The concert was divided into 5 portions mainly focused on John Mayer's legendary guitar skills. It started with the full band, went soft as he played an acoustic portion, than livened up the audience with the John Mayer Trio, took it up some more with the Full Band, and closed the concert with a spectacular encore. The first portion of the...
