...Don’t text and drive Victoria Guerriero Image Analysis “Five seconds is the average time your eyes are off the road while texting. When traveling at 55mph, that's enough time to cover the length of a football field.” (2009, VTTI). While texting and driving has always been an issue since people were able to text on phones, it has not gained much media attention until recently. People may have sent an occasional text while driving ten years ago, but because the keyboard was harder to use, people were not doing it as often. Today’s phones allow you to text with one hand, making it easier to text while driving. With that being said there have been more accidents related to texting and driving. Those that have been injured or almost injured in an accident may no longer text and drive, but the vast majority of people that have yet to injure themselves or others while doing this will continue to text and drive because they feel safe. There are many ads, commercials and even organizations that are against texting and driving but the number of people that have actually stopped texting while driving is at a bare minimum. “60% of drivers use cell phones while driving.” (2011, Harris Poll). It seems as if all the advertisements have not paid off like planned. The reason behind so many ads is to cut back on texting and driving and I believe the media helps get the idea of texting and driving into people’s heads. People will participate in this dangerous action...

...Managing Performance Bus 3040 with Professor Lori White By: Sonya Taylor Why Manage Performance? “There are many things you can do to avoid failing as a manager. You can set clear expectations. You can highlight the underlying purpose of people’s work. You can correct people when they do something wrong. And you can praise people when they do something right. If you do all these things often and well, you will not fail as a manager” (Buckingham & Clifton, pg 171). Managing an employee’s performance encompasses all of the things mentioned above. Wikipedia defines performance management as “activities which ensure that goals are consistently being met in an effective and efficient manner” (Wikipedia, 2012). Actual performance management can be done in many different ways and can be formal or informal. At Nationwide Insurance the formal process for managing performance is the MBO process, or Management By Objectives. At Nationwide, every employee receives their MBOs during the first quarter of the year. All MBOs follow a top down format which basically means that even the executives have MBOs and all subsequent employees have their MBOs built to follow. The Product director’s MBOs will be different from the Sales Director’s MBOs, but the product associates’ MBOs will almost mirror those of their supervisor and he of his, etc. There is a formal process in place for receiving feedback on MBOs. Part of the process is for each associate to log into the...

...nizational Word Count [1,458] BMW-Organisational Structure History Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, commonly known as BMW or BMW AG, is a German automobile, motorcycle and engine manufacturing company founded in 1916. BMW was established as a business entity following a restructuring of the Rapp Motorenwerke aircraft manufacturing firm in 1917. After the end of World War I in 1918, BMW was forced to cease aircraft-engine production by the terms of the Versailles Armistice Treaty. The company consequently shifted to motorcycle production in 1923, once the restrictions of the treaty started to be lifted followed by automobiles in 1928–29. BMW is now headquartered in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Span of Control Span of control is a term used in business management and it refers to the number of subordinates a supervisor has. The span is influenced by many different factors such as nature of nature of work, type of management, types of organization and type of workers. Just like any other organization BMW has its own span of control. At 31 December 2011, the BMW Group had a workforce of approximately 100,000 employees (BMW Group. (2012). It is very likely that BMW Group employs many managers as it is suggested that a manager should only be supervising from 1-10 subordinates at the same time. This is due to the fact that technology helps managers a lot when trying to present their ideas to the workers. Hierarchy Hierarchy structure refers to the pyramid shaped chain of command...

...Globalization diversifies markets for vehicle manufactures where regions like Japan, North America and Western Europe are established big manufactures with over 18 vehicle manufactures across the board. This accounts for almost 90 percent of vehicle produced thus a scramble for available markets, attention now turns to upcoming economies like Russia, Latin America and Eastern Europe, Governments in developing economies aware of the value of their prospective growth auction off their market share to the highest bidders, like BMW, this investors hoping to increase manufacturing capacities so as to build their intended market bid away their economic returns and in so doing multiply the overcapacity problem on a large scale (Griffin & Pustay 2009). Risks involved in venturing into new markets weigh in and most companies aware of the consequences of losing a market place bid, this either plays out in the company over bidding or throwing in the towel and losing the market. Differentiation Successful ECO-Specialties must emphasize their differentiation. Differentiation means that the marketing mix is distinct from and better than what is available from the competitor; product differentiation is the core to a healthy market share. An abundance of option for the vehicle buyers exists with vehicle models with almost similar functional characteristics, BMW is now forced to manufacture unique products for a particular region at a point in time, and this is to cope with tastes and fickle...

Various big corporations became bankrupt because of this. Many of the automaker giant posted loss during the last 2 or three years, like – Toyota and the biggest corporation of the world General Electric (GE) became bankrupt. More or less all the big corporations are affected by it. BMW, one of the automaker giant, could retain its’ profitability over last three years when the global recession take place. It also affected by the recession but cannot lose the profitability. This interesting thing inspires me to conduct research on the financial performance of BMW AG. In the beginning of my paper I give an overview on the BMW. Later I analyze the net profit, sales revenue, costs and assets base of the corporation for the last 10 years. Then I go for ratio analysis to judge the financial health of the organization.

...Researchers from the Department of Precision Instrument and Mechanology will help the NOKIA Company finish a design of hardware enablers for future mobile communication devices during one-year project. And the project is to explore the enabling HW technologies for future mobile communication device concepts, with the focuses on the flexibility, biominicry, and modularization. This is to be done with soft-mechanics inspired by nature’s designs and electro-mechanics integration as the key technologies. Soft-mechanics could be instrumental for providing soft interaction between machines and humans, while electro-mechanics integration enables a novel approach to create highly functional, tiny terminals. 2 The research drivers Future mobile communication devices will have more functions packed in small size and they are going to be used for communication, information searching and browsing as a natural extension of human capabilities in everyday life. One of the key drivers for future mobile devices is to enable drastic change of the physical appearance of mobile terminals to soft and comfortable human centered devices with totally new product category possibilities. The modularization of main components and flexible connectivity will enable the adaptability to different user group needs and allow the freedom to use and transport the device in most convenient way. 2.1 Background Some researcher said that as mobile phones become more like handheld computers and consumers...
