...is a close interconnection between the two concepts, especially on an international level therefore their positive and negative impacts on crime and criminal justice will be discussed together and then a separate analysis of neo-liberalism and its effects on crime will be examined from a local perspective. Globalisation defined Globalisation is not static, but is rather a dynamic process which involves the growing interconnectedness of states and societies that enmesh human communities with each other, easy mobility of goods and services across countries, electronic communications transcending borders and creating independence from territorially confined units of political power (Massari 2003). These key tenets, which encompass the definition of globalisation, will be discussed with regard to their impacts on crime. Neo-liberalism defined Neo-liberalism can be defined as a set of political beliefs which include the idea that the role of the state in crime control should be minimal as the only legitimate purpose of the state is to protect the individual (O’Malley 2008). Neo-liberalism generally includes the belief that the most efficient way to organise all exchanges of goods and services in human society is through freely adopted market mechanisms leading to greater cost effectiveness, individual liberty and moral virtue (Thorsen & Lie 2000). Individuals in society are empowered to accept the risks associated with participating in free markets and be responsible...

...phones and tablets headquartered in New Taipei City, Taiwan. Founded in 1997, HTC began as an original design manufacturer and original equipment manufacturer, designing and manufacturing devices such as mobile phones, touch screen phones, and PDAs based on Windows Mobile OS and Brew MP to market to mobile network operators who were willing to pay a contract manufacturer for customized products. After initially making smart phones based mostly on Windows Mobile, HTC expanded its focus in 2009 to devices based on the Android, and in 2010 to Windows Phone. As of 2011, HTC primarily releases and markets its smart phones under the HTC brand, ranking as the 98th top brand. At the start, HTC was not well known in the smart phone and tablets industry. However, the company’s innovative design and state of the art technologies generated big interest. According to some primary research, customers who owned HTC phone did not know a lot about HTC as a company. That is to say, HTC brand awareness was not matching its technological and innovative approach. In fact, its brand awareness was very low compare to its competitors in the smart phone industry. Therefore, it is clear that a company of the magnitude of HTC need to do more in terms of brand awareness in order to sustain and increase its market share in such a highly competitive market. To achieve this, HTC needs to review its marketing strategy. PEST Analysis Political Environment Political system can be evaluated in two associated...

...This week’s case study tells us about Michael Bloomberg and the New York teachers union. It tells us that “In 2010, New York State passed a law that required its school districts to develop more stringent teacher-evaluation systems. Local school districts and their unions were assigned a task for specifying certain criteria of their new systems by January 17, 2013. New York City was going to receive benefits of $250 million in aid and another $200 million in grants if the agreement was reached on a new system, a 4% increase in state aid. However, as the January 17th deadline approached, Bloomberg and New York Teachers’ Union were not even close to reaching an agreement.” Our assignment wants us to design a strategy using a win-win situation for both parties and also to “Identify the four steps of Integrative Negotiation Process, and conduct analysis of how these four steps might help you in designing your negotiation strategy.” I am going to discuss the four steps of Integrative Negotiation and how they might help me in designing my negotiation strategy.” The first step is the compromiser, the one who always wants to split the difference, according to our lecture, this strategy works well when that statement is delivered at an appropriate time. However, the problem comes when the difference is split at the wrong moment and the end result is not a number or outcome that ultimately makes sense for one or both of the parties involved. . This step I will save for last in the...
