...Assessment and Diagnosis Student’s Name University Affiliation Introduction Lehigh County is one of the counties located in the Lehigh Valley and has a population of more than three hundred thousand. The large population ensures that there is a large field for making assessment of the health needs of the individuals in the County. The assessment in the county can be done using the demographic and the epidemiological data in the process of identifying the health risks. The population’s information can be collaboratively used in addressing the factors that affect the health of the community and the health problems that come over to the county. The paper uses the community assessment strategies to uncover the community health problems and make the identification of the components of the community health nursing of Lehigh County. Community overview The community of choice is Lehigh County which is located in the Lehigh Valley, the county houses a large number of families and therefore a number of health issues can be seen in the county.

...BUSM4157_1510 Corporate Governance and Regulation Individual Assignment: David Jones Adam Golding S3468032 Words: 2156 Executive Summary This essay examines the example of two former directors of retailer David Jones – Leigh Clapham and Steve Vamos. The two directors made the decision to purchase shares in the company during a delicate period for the company and while decisions were being made about it’s future. Discussion on the damage this decision caused to David Jones and the ensuing fallout, whereby the two directors and the chairman of the board were put in a position where they had no choice but to resign. This essay will address the role of a board within a company and the value-add component, as well as addressing the requirements for a company under the Corporations Act 2001. We will also examine the issue of insider trading and whether the actions of these board members could amount to a breach of the law, as well as speaking about ASIC and their investigation into the men. ASIC conducted a thorough, two month long investigation, only to find themselves no choice but to declare no further action could be taken. The area of risk management frameworks and whether the David Jones board members even followed their own stated frameworks, as set out in their constitution and printed yearly in their annual report were followed to the best of their ability. Finally, continual disclosure as a provision of the Corporations Act and the issue of...

...Introduction People want to feel accepted and connected to other people. Even though everyone’s social lives look different, most people fear isolation and search for their social identity. The Social Identity Theory unpacks the process of gaining one’s social identity and explains the competitive trends between social groups. This paper will first give an in-depth summary of SIT that will be later applied to a movie example that connects directly to the theory. Lastly, I will share my interpretations of the movie and the Social Identity Theory through the lens of my application process. Summary of Social Identity Theory The Social Identity Theory is formed around people’s association with their social groups. A social group is defined as...

...the terms of relationship between the two. However, the difference is that the contract outline is far more rigid than that of a contract. The essential difference between an agreement and a contract is that usually an agreement will only modify a contract that is already in place but does not place an obligation on either one of the parties to provide consideration to the other party, which a contract requires. A contract can be involve in the exchange of promises between the parties to the contract, while an agreement may simply involve one party accepting the offer from another party. The approach taken by the Contracts Act 1950 (Revised 1974) to distinguish between agreement and a contract was noted by the Supreme Court in the case, Beca (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd v Tan Choong Kuang & Anor [1986] 2 MLJ 390. It was held that there is a distinction between an agreement and a contract. The word ‘contract’ has at times been loosely used in the past. We are used to the English common law which does not make the distinction between the two terms as our section 2 of the Contracts Act 1950 (Revised 1974). An agreement is defined in S.2(e) as “every promise and every set promises, forming the consideration for each...

...Advancing Australia’s ‘Human Capital Agenda’( Gary Banks Chairman, Productivity Commission Introduction It is a privilege to have been invited to give the fourth Lecture in this annual series in honour of Ian Little. Ian was a passionate advocate for good public policy and for reform — within his own state and nationally. This was grounded in an equally strong attachment to good analysis and evidence in support of policy decisions. As Secretary of the Victorian Treasury, he championed the use of quantitative analysis, including the development of an input/output based model of the Victorian economy, to gain a better understanding of the effects of policy changes on different industries and on the State’s overall economic performance. It was under his and John Brumby’s stewardship of the Treasury portfolio that the Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission was established, to provide rigorous arms-length analysis and advice on key policy issues affecting the welfare of Victorians (akin to the role of the Productivity Commission at the national level). Victoria’s more systematic attention to good analysis and policy innovation commenced in the 1990s. It has yielded considerable benefits for Victoria’s citizens since then, not only in the comparative economic performance of this State, but also in its achievements in the social and environmental domains. Victoria was a first mover in the ‘second wave’ of economic reforms in the 90s — reforms that...

...Administration, Murray State University, Murray, Kentucky, USA Abstract Word-of-mouth communication (WOM) is a dominant force in the marketplace for services. However, the current body of research provides little insight into the nature of WOM in the service marketplace. Reports the results of a content-analytic study that provides insight into WOM’s content and the catalysts by which it is stimulated. The goal was to capture a series of “grounded events” from which broader patterns could be discerned. These grounded events were actual incidents of WOM as described by the recipients of a communication. Three content categories and ten catalyst categories are identified. Implications for managers are addressed. Article Type: Research paper Keyword(s): Communications; Consumer behaviour; Customer satisfaction; Interpersonal communications; Services marketing. Journal: JOURNAL OF SERVICES MARKETING Volume: 13 Number: 1 Year: 1999 pp: 73-89 Copyright © MCB UP Ltd ISSN: 0887-6045 Research indicates that word-of-mouth communication (WOM) has a significant effect on consumer purchasing behavior.
