...The relationship between the Industrial Revolution and the Russian Revolution offers many interesting perspectives. Whether the former led to the latter and if so, the timing and context of the same, has been a theme of debate. “For the first time in history, the living standards of the masses of ordinary people have begun to undergo sustained growth ... Nothing remotely like this economic behavior is mentioned by the classical economists, even as a theoretical possibility."Robert E Lucas, Jr. When and how did the Industrial Revolution come about? Broadly speaking the complete transformation of manufacturing processes in industries especially textiles and iron marked the boom period of this era. The advent of newer and more efficient forms of technology meant that production leap-frogged generating revenue surplus for the economy. It also meant that the demand for raw materials increased multifold, which translated into more demand for colonies for their supply. Thus, technology boosted economy, which in turn impacted the foreign/strategic policies of the countries in question. Quite expectedly, the Industrial Revolution started in Britain and spread to other countries subsequently. Another facet of the Industrial Revolution was the social...

... listening and empathy skills on the relationship of the customers with the employees. Companies love long-‐term relationships because they translate into returning and repeat customers. Research has shown that it is generally more profitable to service a return customer than to attract and serve a new one (Aggarwal et al, 2005). Furthermore, the effective management of employee-‐ customer relationships has been linked to strategic marketing advantage (Turnbull and Wilson, 1989) and long-‐term profitability (Reicheld, 1994). The employee-‐customer relationships are equally valued by customers (Berry and Parasurman, 1991) and motivate them to make purchases. Because of the importance of the customer-‐employee relationships it is important to examine the factors that influence the perceived quality of this relationship. This relationship quality has a direct affect on the...

...INTRODUCTION The term "Industrial Relations" has developed both a broad and a narrow meaning. Originally, industrial relations was broadly defined to include the totality of relationships and interactions between employers and employees. From this perspective, industrial relations covers all aspects of the employment relationship, including human resource (or personnel) management, employee relations, and union-management (or labor) relations. Since the mid-twentieth century, however, the term has increasingly taken on a narrower, more restricted interpretation that largely equates it with unionized employment relationships. In this view, industrial relations pertains to the study and practice of collective bargaining, trade unionism, and labor-management relations, while human resource management is a separate, largely distinct field that deals with nonunion employment relationships and the personnel practices and policies of employers. Both meanings of the term coexist in the twenty-first century, although the latter is the more common. ORIGINS The term "industrial relations" came into common usage in the 1910s, particularly in 1912 upon the appointment by President William Taft of an investigative committee titled the Commission on Industrial Relations. The commission's charge was to investigate the causes of widespread, often violent labor conflict and make recommendations regarding methods to promote greater cooperation and harmony among employers and employees. Shortly...

...was “Romantic Relationships and Substance Use in Early Adulthood: An Examination of the Influences of Relationship Type, Partner Substance Use, and Relationship Quality” by Charles B. Fleming, Helene R. White, and Richard F. Catalano. This article covered the effects that varying type of relationships have on substance use, and being as I went through these different stages right out of high school so I can relate and appreciate the data. This article was very easy to relate too and to understand how relationships can change you for worst or better, and the way that the data is delivered was straight forward and clear cut so I was able to interpret it clearly. The information that is given in this article was well researched and delivered, and being that this was a research paper it would give good starting points for where I should begin my own research. Although this paper was focused on a limited age range (early adulthood 18-20) it was extremely thorough in retrieving data and offers many areas where you could continue the research and look more into a specific relationship type. This paper covers the opposing affects that differing stages of relationships play on drug use, heavy drinking, and smoking, but this study only focuses on the transition between graduating high school and entering college and gives a small glimpse into what the roles play later in life. The most interesting piece of data that this article had was not only does being in a relationship gives the people...

...The Simple Gift – Essay model A person’s relationship with others and the world around them influences their experience of belonging or not belonging. Discuss this view with detailed reference to The Simple Gift and TWO other related texts. Relationships and experiences contribute to an individual’s sense of belonging or not belonging. This view is clearly evident in The Simple Gift by Steven Herrick and the two related texts _______________ and __________________. The Simple Gift explores the characters of Billy, Caitlin and Old Bill. At the beginning each character feels a sense of not belonging, but this changes as their relationships with each other develop. Billy feels like he doesn’t belong in his world. He is neglected and abused by his father which is conveyed in the poem ‘Sport’. Billy expresses his father’s aggression through the line, ‘gave me one hard backhander across the face, So hard I fell down.’ He also shows his contempt for school in the poem ‘Wentworth High School’ when he begins to sign his name ‘Billy Luckett rhymes with…..’ The only place Billy does experience a sense of belonging is expressed in the poem ‘Westfield Creek’, which he describes as ‘my favourite classroom.’ The language used in this poem is much more positive. Billy’s relationship with Bendarat gives him a sense of belonging, that is carried through in his relationship with Caitlin and Old Bill. At first Billy doesn’t feel he belongs, he uses alliteration to express his preference...

...Bloomed or Doomed? Relationships can be rewarding, yet they can cause frustration and hardship as well. Though there are many types of relationships, each requires a dependency or interaction between counterparts. Many people have a different perspective of what ingredients are needed for a successful relationship or marriage. Some people think they can be compatible only with someone who is very similar to themselves, while others feel that opposites attract. Even though there are many variables to a successful relationship and marriage, there are some crucial elements that need to be constant. If those elements are ignored, the connection may be lost. Jhumpa Lahiri’s stories “A Temporary Matter” and “The Third and Final Continent” demonstrate the need for communication and adaptation between two individuals to have a successful marriage. Communication is mandatory in almost every aspect of life where more than one person is involved. It can mean the difference in any outcome if there is too little or more than enough. Communication can come in many forms such as verbal, non verbal, and physical. As every relationship begins with two strangers who come to know each other better through communication, a lack of communication can cause those who once knew each other to become strangers once more. In Lahiri’s story “A Temporary Matter,” Shukumar and his wife Shoba become very distant from each other after the tragedy of their stillborn child. They create as much space as possible...

...Running head: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BUSINESS AND SOCIETY Relationship between Business and Society In today’s economy businesses have a divine responsibility and commitment to its relationship between society, family, nation, religious groups and law. In short, business is the activity which provides a good or service with a social and moral contract to society. Chewning, Eby and Roels (1990) have stated, "Christian businesspeople are to be just that – servants of God who act as stewards in the ways that shows God’s will at work, play, worship and in the family” (p. 194). I opened with that quote from our readings because I truly believe that the relationship between society and business needs to be consistent with the moral ethics of the Bible. There has been an ever changing relationship between business and society over the past fifty years. Chewning, Eby and Roels (1990) have stated, "In recent years there has been a revolution in the way people understand the relationship between business and society” and goes on to state “In the future business will be judged not only for its economic contributions, but for its social, political and moral ones as well" (p. 195). This relationship between business and society is apparent and corporations are adding in values to their policies. After ENRON, many corporations fear being labeled as unethical. Chewning, Eby and Roels (1990) tell us, “A number of other important indicators are more important for the long term: employee...

...with respect to the clients however; it will also require company resources that include the money and time of the consultant. This is a major reason why ENSR always tries to make their business around geographies. Furthermore, organizing around service lines would help the company in efficiently utilizing the company’s resources with respect to desired level of expertise. Moreover, organizing around industries and clients will be helpful in securing clients more efficiently but with a greater level of expense. Moreover, the key accounts program will also help the company in securing relationships with potential and existing customers of ENSR. 2) How could the BDO solution look like in detail? Who would do what? How would the new organization chart look like? Which problems would be solved, which not? Business Development officers are the ones who are engaged in developing relationships with current and potential clients of the company. The business development officer solution was initially implemented in the 90s era as a part of company’s long-term strategy to boost the growth. As of now, the company needs to have at least 20 to 25 business development officers who would then help ENSR to grow their business. The business development officers will not be like the consultants in ENRS who were paid a salary despite the fact that they are working or not. The primary job of business development officers would be...

...“What was the relationship between industrialisation and the expansion of the British Empire between 1750 and 1850?” Between 1750 and 1850 Britain had revolutionised internally as a dominant industrial figure in Europe. However, although it would be argued that most advances were constitutional, Britain’s foreign relations also enhanced to a certain extent during this period. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Britain had established itself as the first country to industrialise therefore instantly granting it a dominant position in the world economy, this would continue for a further century. During this time it was also advantaged in acquiring the largest empire seen of its time. This therefore suggests that the two developments had a relationship, as without one the other would have been inevitable. The Industrial Revolution and the British Empire are dependent on each other. There would not be an Empire without the Industrial Revolution and vice versa. Although the revolution that occurred was not political, it did however have a number of implications that followed, advantages included its geographical location and nature, expanding empire and worldwide trade network, growing transportation network, rich supply of natural resources, available labour supply and relatively high labour productivity, and expertise in developing technology. Together, these necessary factors set up a suitable foundation on which an industrial revolution could occur. This...

...INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY The ultimate aim of most developing countries in general is to industrialize. The reason for this are obvious. First, there is relationship between the degree of industrialization and the level of development. Secondly, the developed countries of the world are basically industrial countries. The higher the level of industrialization the higher the level of national income, standard of living and economic development. Prior to the discovery of crude oil in commercial quantum in Nigeria, agricultural primary produce has been the major sources through which Nigeria generate foreign exchange. Therefore, Nigeria constituted one major agrarian country in Africa. However, at the attainment of independence in 1960, the various governments took interest in industrialization. This can be noticed through series of development plan adopted by the succeeding government in Nigeria over the years. Though without keen interest, except till the nineteen – seventies. The need arose to adopt an import substitution industrialization policy to reduce the heavy dependence on the external sector for the supply of manufactured products, capital goods and equipment. Nigeria government in a bid to industrialize created some industrial incentive policy to encourage foreign investors to invest in Nigeria industrial sector. That is, foreign entrepreneurs were technically and strategically invite to champion Nigeria industrialization because of the scarcity of investible funds...

...To start off with, relationships. Oh boy, what could we say about this topic. Relationships are what most teenagers worry about. Does this boy like me, does this girl like me. How can I impress him/her? Students go around during school worrying more about if they look "hot" or if the boy/girl they are crushing on is noticing them. This effects student's school work. Students focus more on what's going on in their personal life with their relationship and cannot focus on their school work. If the guy or girl that they are crushing on or in a relationship with is in any of the same classes, it could cause distractions and lower your grades. You push off your school work, and worry about them. It's hard to have a relationship with someone sometimes especially when you see them at school all the time and something happens. Say you get into a fight or something, then you are extremely upset all day and start to cry. All day, all you think about is if you guys are going to be okay, and what is going to happen. I've done it. I know it's extremely hard to focus but you just have to try. Relationships are a big part of an average teenagers life, and they are usually pretty hard to keep strong. Another thing i've done, is just pushed off my homework and hung out with whoever I was dating and then started to get low grades. My mom was extremely upset and told me that if me having a boyfriend was going to effect my grades then there was going to be a lot of consequences. If you just mainly...
