...skills and maintenance. One of the best ways to design and implement a business plan is to write the vision and do the research. There are procedures on how to keep a business effective (Covey 1989). Research and knowledge helps to ensure the companies stability and longevity. Behind the Scenes Work The creation of a successful business will always take time, research, and work. There are many available resources to potential business owners. One of the most important aspects to starting a business is putting in the work to start the business, and keep the business. Successful businesses are not given to those who lay idle but to those who change their perception and work for end results (Covey et al.,1989). People must be willing invest the time and money into the business. Research past business successes and failures of similar businesses and take notes. The greatest leaders were once followers (Maxwell 10/02/2012). Skill is required when starting a business, skills are essential because it shows an area of specialty that the business owner has and a great amount of knowledge in that area. Sacrifices have to be made when implementing a business, because it requires much time and dedication. A business will not be successful without putting in the work that goes into it. Finally, with the knowledge and training that a person has gained from research, they can effectively design the vision of their business.

...One technique I have had others help me with is empathy. The reason I feel that empathetic communication is important, is because it helps one to use an open mind. It helps the interaction to find an equal plane between the users in thought and beliefs, even if they are not shared, they can be shared during empathy's engagement (Hayes, 2002, p. 49). To use empathy effectively is to look from behind another person's eyes. I find that empathy is one of the best techniques because it causes one to step outside of their normal routine. During conversation it is a natural desire to add to the conversation and this can dilute the empathetic engagement. Besides not using our typical judgments, or personal filters, one can find out many interesting...

Polarization: Headlee mentioned that our current cultural climate is more polarized since even our politicians can’t speak to one another civilly and regular people like us also struggle to talk about simple trivial issues. In other words, we tend to create situations where we are forced to either pick one side over the other instead of creating a middle ground. 4.

...In the world today communication is key, whether you’re at work or just around the house. There is a time and place for everything and picking how to communicate is one thing to consider. When thinking about how to communicate consider your surroundings, what information you’re trying to get across and the urgency. When I see people in a public area no one is talking, even if there is family with them. I’m old fashion when it comes to a lot of things. When going out with the family we limit electronics. There is a place for E-mail, Twitter and Facebook (50) but getting to know what my kids are thinking and how their day went is important to me. As we drive from picking the kids up from school, I candor into other vehicles and see other...

The United States was going after the leader in charge of the Al Qaeda, the United States sent a message to the rest of the world, and made the U.S. stronger. The Al Qaeda and the Taliban attacked us, there was no other option but to go for their leader who commanded this attack. Osama bin laden called the attack “Blessed” (Durando), on the United states. He was the leader of the Al Qaeda who called the attack. The United States went after him and finally did it, “On May 2, 2011, Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is killed by US Special Forces” (CNN). The U.S.A. used terror to achieve this. When we accomplished this, it sent a message to...

In essence, scientist and journalist are trying to present the world to the ordinary citizen in terms of data. Therefore, one is left to wonder how this vast amount of data is analyzed. In addition, what models are being used to analyze such data and what is their accuracy. More so what assumptions are made when analyzing the figures? When these factors are keenly considered, there emerges an ethical issue that surrounds the whole process. For example, are the figures being used to forecast or tell the true position of an issue or are they being used as tolls to manipulate people. Advertisers and users of advertisements have embraced on the help availed by the use of big data tactics. A good illustration to this is the campaign teams’ especially for political career. Many politicians have found the use of opinion polls helpful because they are able to manipulate them. In such a case, the users of such polls (voters) are deceived to believing that a given candidate is well ahead of other opponents (Fahy 1-2). To conclude, the role being played by big data tactics is enormous and helpful to advertisers or sellers. However, when used for personal gain thus hiding the true position...

...Identify several communication protocols and their main purpose. What is communication protocol? This is the rule if you like for the devices that help identify and agree on the format of the data. These set of rules is called a protocol, this defines such things as the rate of transmission, whether transmission is to be synchronous or asynchronous and whether data is to be transmitted in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. Protocols can also prove useful for identifying and recovering from transmission errors and also can be used for encoding and decoding data. TCP/IP This is one of the most important protocols; the TCP/IP is used to connect hosts on the internet, it consists of two separate parts but both are connected. It was first created to connect numerous amount of different networks together, to create a much larger internetwork, which later on became the internet. TCP’s main role is to verify that data has been successfully delivered from one node to another. It also detects errors, detects lost data and detects duplicate messages and discards them when necessary. IP’s main role is to transfer data packets from one node to the next. It works on a destination address which contains 8 bits which is known as the IP address....

...Running head: PROBLEM SOLUTION: GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS Problem Solution: Global Communication Rona Brown University of Phoenix MPLB/500 David Rollins Problem Solution: Global Communications Global Communications feels the pressures of the industries with trying to keep up with its competitors and watching its stock prices fall. Yet the stockholders are giving them a lot of pressure to correct the problem. They need to offer better services than what their competitors are providing to their customers. This paper will discuss the background, the problem, the end goals, alternative solutions, risk assessment, the optimal solution, and lastly the implementation plan. Situation Background (Step 1) The total telecommunications industry has collapsed into hardship due to the Cable Companies inflowing the competition but Global Communications has been hit hard with not just the improved competition but smaller profit margins, the costs of doing business, and have realized that they need a new tactical plan, but will need help in implementing this. The problem is not actually noticeable, as one may think. It is easy to say that there is a substantial amount of competition and blame outside entities for their anguishes. In the long run, the real issue is GC's incompetence to successfully compete with new companies in the market (i.e. cable companies). Often this is the minor to a failure to discriminate their services from those of the competitors. It echoes as if their attempt...
