...Conflict, Power, and Influence in Interpersonal Communication Team B; Eartha, Daniel, and Britney COM/320 April 2, 2014 Diarese George Conflict, Power, and Influence in Interpersonal Communication Security in the workplace is crucial and also the employer's top priority due to the recent attacks America has undergone. Almost now in every workplace visitors are required to check in and out, even in schools. The main idea is people need to follow procedures when it comes to security protocols no matter whom they may know to cover everyone’s own piece of mind. All it takes is one minor infraction this may spark a chain reaction that may affect everyone. Conflict in security comes from people thinking it is okay to bend rules because they may know a person or are afraid to take a stand and confront someone. What most do not realize is that the rules are there to protect everyone and that it needs everyone to work together to be more efficient. People believe that rules do not apply to everyone all the time that the status of which they have earned gives them the right to skip past certain obligations. The company that Brittney is employed by has gone a step further, we have been provided with badges to get into the main door once we are in there is a receptionist desk. The receptionist is very familiar with the employees and she never hesitates to ask someone to sign in and show proper id. Everything is under video surveillance even the parking lots.

...Britney Grant Chapter Summaries of “1984” By George Orwell Book 1 Chapter 1 * It all starts on a cold, bright day in April 1984. At 1 p.m., Winston Smith, a small, frail man of 39 years drags himself home for lunch at his apartment on the 7th floor of the Victory Mansions. The face of Big Brother, the leader of the Party and a heavily mustached and ruggedly handsome man of about 45, appears on giant, colorful posters everywhere in Airstrip One, Oceania saying "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU," runs the caption. Book 1 Chapter 2 * Winston believes that the stability of the Party depends on having a lot of paralyzingly stupid people around like Tom Parsons, his neighbor and coworker. The Party decides everyone needs to love the Party and not anyone else. So the Party eliminated love among family members, actual lovers, friends, and one-night-stands. The Party trains and encourages children to monitor their parents for symptoms of unorthodoxy. Book 1 Chapter 3 Since thinking about the future is really just depressing, Winston dreams about the past. More specifically, he dreams about his mother’s disappearance when he was age 10 or 11, the alluring brunette at his workplace, and Shakespeare. A whistle from the telescreen wakes Winston up at 7:30 a.m. Rise and shine, dear dystopian citizen. Book 1 Chapter 4 * Apparently, the Party despises littering. Oceanians are to deposit every scrap of paper they find into the ominously named "memory holes," slits...

...Coca-Cola: International Business Strategy For Globalization Dr. Michael Ba Banutu-Gomez, Professor, Management and Entrepreneurship, William G. Rohrer College of Business Rowan University, Glassboro, NJ ABSTRACT The purpose of this research was to analyze the efficiency of global strategies. This paper identified six key strategies necessary for firms to be successful when expanding globally. These strategies include differentiation, marketing, distribution, collaborative strategies, labor and management strategies, and diversification. Within this analysis, we chose to focus on the Coca-Cola Company because they have proven successful in their international operations and are one of the most recognized brands in the world. We performed an in-depth review of how effectively or ineffectively Coca-Cola has used each of the six strategies. The paper focused on Coca-Cola's operations in the United States, China, Belarus, Peru, and Morocco. The author used electronic journals from the various countries to determine how effective Coca-Cola was in these countries. The paper revealed that Coca-Cola was very successful in implementing strategies regardless of the country. However, the author learned that CocaCola did not effectively utilize all of the strategies in each country.

Il était utilisé pour décrire les enfants nés entre 1980 et 1995 en tant que progénitures des Baby Boomers. Chaque génération est formée par les évènements culturels et politiques de son temps. Cependant, la Génération Y a été sevrée par de nombreux évènements importants (Cf Figure 1 : annexe pour tableau), du scandale O. J. Simpson aux USA à l’invention de l’iPod, en passant par la fusillade dans un lycée à Columbine et l’introduction d’Internet, et tout cela est apparu avant le 11 Septembre 2001.
