A classic example of this strategy is the airline reservations system. American Airlines and United Airlines have developed very profitable, very effective reservations systems. The thing that keeps others from competing in this arena is the sheer cost of developing another reservation system, and getting it accepted. 3. Shift costs. This simply means get somebody else to perform the work that you previously have done. An example of this is the automatic teller machine. When you use an ATM, you do all the data entry, and the bank saves money (and they have the audacity to charge you for the privilege). 4. Innovation. Use information technology to create a new product, service, or differentiation that your customer prefers over the competitions' offerings. There are many examples of innovation such as Amazon.com. 5. Lock in customers and suppliers. Use technology to tie your customers and your suppliers more closely to your business enterprise.

In American law, the current state of law concern itself with common characteristics that create duties, obligations, and rights reflecting acceptable views of a given society (Melvin, 2011). The following contents of this paper cover the functions and role of law in business and society. It also discusses the functions and role of business law in the automotive industry. It is important to indicate that originally, law dealt with the concern of problems and issues regarding ownership of property. Today’s modern legal doctrines deal with complex system of principles and protections for law that provides mechanisms for resolving disputes that arise in relation to duties and rights, which allows the parties involved to enforce promises in a court of law.

The employee gave himself an increase in pay by increase his base salary rate. The employee had success in performing this crime by spoofing an IP address, allowing their self the ability to eavesdrop on the network. By spoofing the specific IP address, the employee was able to find the location of the data and successfully modified it for their gain. After the fact, the employee received two paychecks containing the fraudulent salary. An auditor, who was effectively performing their job duties, became aware of the fraudulent acts of the employee, and thus sent an email to several pertinent individuals within the organization making them aware of the situation and that there is potentially a discretion with the employee’s paycheck. Probably on the “look-out” for reaction from their errant ways, the employee somehow was able to intercept the emails that were intended for the original recipients. The employee then created falsified responses, posing them to seem as if they were coming from the intended individuals that the original email was sent to. This exchange went on back and...

...Topic 4.Controlling Topic 1: What is Control and Why Engage in It? Introduction Many people think of the word “control” in the context of manipulating someone or something. They think of control as getting someone to do something that WE want them to do, and it follows that they may NOT want to do it! In management, control has a different meaning. It is simply an information system that provides valuable feedback. In your textbook, control is defined as “the process of monitoring activities to ensure that they are being accomplished as planned and correcting any significant deviations” (Robbins et al., page 308). In other words, you measure the results you are getting and compare this with your objectives and then make any necessary adjustments. Managers who control the finances of an organization are often referred to as “controllers.” These managers use financial control measures on a daily basis. Project managers also use control mechanisms to monitor their projects. Control measures are determined at the beginning of a project and used throughout the life of a project to monitor time, budget, and project scope. The control measures give the project team valuable feedback on how they are doing. Just as feedback is a critical component in good communication, feedback is also a key factor in developing management controls. Measurement controls can be set up in virtually any area of an organization. One area that most people have experience with is the annual performance...

...available on reducing unnecessary hospital readmissions, for example, the ProjectRED, which “can reduce readmissions by integrating better communication among clinicians and patients and by instituting follow-ups after discharge” (CMS). However, one important approach was to improve the transition process in inpatient and outpatient care for UH. By setting up a detailed and enforceable action plan to improve continuity of care, UH should focus on the following aspects: the compliance of national safety goals and regulations, the quality of transition approaches, the follow-up of regular reexamine, etc. These are not only methods to avoid high readmission rates, but also techniques to improve patient satisfaction and to reduce unnecessary administrative costs. Furthermore, another plausible approach is to bring closer relationship between hospitals and patient families, since they are an important part of patient satisfaction. Pay-for-performance Based on CMS. ACA established a value-based purchasing program, which was a quality incentive program built on the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting measure. The main idea of this program is to “reward hospitals for the quality of care they provide to Medicare patients, not just the quantity of procedures they perform” (CMS). CMS evaluates the effectiveness of hospital operation by...

...the rule) that such a requirement would produce significant safety benefits. The NHTSA’s judgment did not reflect a change of opinion regarding the effectiveness of the technology, but a change in plans by the automobile industry. At the time of the rescission, industry standards were in place to ensure automatic seatbelts were installed in approximately 99% of all new cars. The NHTSA reasoned that there was no way to reliably predict the safety standard within FMVSS No. 28 would lead to increased usage of restraints, and thus feared the general public would regard the safety measure as an ineffective regulation. State Farm Insurance led the charge of automobile insurance companies that challenged the NHTSA’s rescission of the passive system requirement from FMVSS...

...Should people seeking government assistance be required to take drug tests? INTRODUCTION On August 22, 1996, President Bill Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act, also known as the Welfare Reform Bill, into effect ending welfare as it had been known for many years. “This law transformed the traditional entitlement to cash welfare under Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) into a transitional program, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), which requires most recipients to work after two years of receiving assistance, or, at state option, even earlier, with few exceptions. After 60 months of receipt during a lifetime, a recipient is ineligible for federally-funded cash benefits (NPC, 2004)”. (1) The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act shifted the responsibility of the poor to the states. The Act also made allowance for states to perform drug testing of those who were in need of federal assistance. According to an article in the New York Times “Policy makers in three dozen states this year proposed drug testing for people receiving benefits like welfare, unemployment assistance, job training, food stamps and public housing (Sulzberger, 2011) .” The controversy rising from the proposed drug testing has many debating the question: Should people seeking government assistance be required to take drug tests?

...balance between both variables. Therefore Smith Systems Consulting is dedicated to ensuring that a quality service is delivered that will meet these objectives. However, before a more comprehensive plan can be put into place, it is important that Smith Systems Consulting understands exactly how the security plan will be managed, and how to enforce it on the most basic level. It is therefore the opinion of our company to begin by defining a simple, yet utterly crucial part of Riordan’s base information security policy: separation of duties via the practice and implementation of role assignments. Separation of duties, in information technology, is the practice of dividing both IT staff and end users into managed groups, or roles. While users and IT staff, from an administrative level, may fall into several groups (ex., Accounting Department, Maintenance, Security, etc), these groups are not enough to enforce proper security policy. A more comprehensive approach is to define what the base access is for all of these groups, thus the use of roles. Roles basically define what level of system access each user and user group will have, and what permissions each person will have on their personal computer, as well as servers and databases (for IT staff). Roles help ensure the concept of “Separation of Duties”, when helps to ensure that users and IT staff are only granted the level of system access that is required, and that no administrative...

...The Filibuster Name: Course: Date: The Filibuster: Definition This means use of obstructive or irregular strategies by a member of a legislative assembly to stop or prevent the adoption of a motion generally liked or forcing a decision not accepted by the majority (Hornby, 1974). Origin: The word originates from a Dutch word vrijbuiter “pirate”, including the Spanish term filibuster, “freebooting”.

In the seventeenth century, flee-booster assaulted the Spanish provinces in the Caribbean and earned a terrible reputation. They were additionally called pirates and freebooters (Belmont, 1981). The stuff these flee-booster stole was called goods. In the end an additional syllable wormed its way into the word, and flee-boosters got to be called filibuster.

Filibusters were individuals from the United States who went to Central America and the Spanish West Indies keeping in mind the end goal to wrongfully support revolution.

...PAD 500 Modern public Administration: Managing Public and nonprofit Organizations To understand how to solve a problem, we must first understand what we are trying to fix. For example, can a carpenter without any medical experience repair a heart valve? Of course not, he or she must first obtain the proper education necessary to perform such a complex operation. The same can be said about the American education system. Throughout America’s history parents, educators, and government officials have been debating what changes must be implemented for American children to receive every opportunity possible to gain an education that will prepare them for the future. the one type of public policy the education system would be suited for is by way of distributive polices because “ of its most common form of government policy where it uses general tax revenues to provide benefits to individuals or groups, often by means of grants or subsidies and other educational assistance”(blanc,denhardt,denhardt,2014,pg.55).
