...Law Enforcement did not have probable cause to arrest Terry Ray Ayers. Furthermore, there were no exigent circumstances to utilize a tactical squad and arrest Ayers in a dramatic fashion that put his fiancée and three small children in danger. “A false arrest is a violation of the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable seizure of persons” (Newman, 2006). The identification of Ayers by a witness through the use of a photo lineup is not enough evidence to arrest him. “Eyewitness misidentification occurs because the eyewitness’s memory is dynamic and prone to error” (Stenzel, 2017). This miscarriage of justice against Ayers and his family highlights the investigative errors of basing cases solely on fallible witness identification. Evidence...

...involved in creating an effective strategy will all be examined. Three Types of Organizational Goals Organizations compose three levels of management- top, middle, and first-line. From these levels different types of goals are created, where they are originated by top management and are carried out by middle and first-line managers. Organizational goals consist of three types- strategic, tactical, and operational. The accomplishment of low-level goals leads to the attainment of high-level objectives, otherwise known as a means-end chain. First, strategic intents are formulated as the ultimate achievements desired and implemented by top management. Strategic objectives are usually developed to last over a two- to four-year period. Many goals exist, but the most common are market standing, innovation, productivity, physical resources, financial resources and action planning. For example, Wal-Mart's strategic objectives are "increasing comparable stores sales in the US, improving international returns and reducing expenses" (Woodard, 2013). Next, tactical objectives are formed to translate the strategic goals into action....

...Case Study Analysis MGT/488 William Funderburk Tyco International: A Case of Corporate Malfeasance Tyco International, having its former chief executive, Dennis Kozlowski and its former chief financial officer, Mark Swartz convicted of grand larceny, conspiracy, and fraud, had a long future of rebuilding trust ahead of them. Herein, several issues are discussed including, how the lack of corporate governance at Tyco contributed to its downfall will be discussed, how Dennis Kozlowski used organizational structure and controls to implement his strategic plan, the role of Tyco leadership in strategic implementation, and the role of strategic entrepreneurship in creating firm value at Tyco. “Corporate governance is the set of mechanisms used to manage the relationship among stakeholders that determines and controls the strategic direction and performance of organizations” (Hitt, Ireland, & Hoskisson, 2009, p. 276). Kozlowski and senior managers broke their fiduciary duty. Board member broke the duty of loyalty and senior manager broke their duty as agents of the Board of Directors. No approval of bonuses or loans was gained from the board, therefore breaching disclosure of all relevant information. The directors failed to monitor management, thereby failing to fulfill their duties of overseeing strategy and performance. Directors allowed wasteful spending of corporate funds in the form of bonuses and perquisites Kozlowski’s management plan...

Boeing makes advanced communication and information systems, military, as well as commercial air craft, provides NASA with launch vehicles and satellites. Boeing also worked with Lockheed Martin on building and maintaining the Space Shuttle since 1981. This partnership between Lockheed Martin and Boeing is called The United States Alliance. Boeings leaders created tactical, operational, and strategic plans that help them define and accomplish the goals they set. The factors that influence the operational, strategic, tactical, and contingency planning are issues that come from their ethical, social, and legal responsibilities. It is in this planning that a complex design that has to obey regulations, social influences, and laws while seeking a profitable operation.

...The Gallipoli Campaign of 1915, a battle during World War I, went very wrong. The Gallipoli campaign was a battle fought in the former Ottoman Empire, today known as Turkey with countries including Great Britain, Ottoman Empire, India, France, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia participating in it. Great Britain’s plan, a suggestion by the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, was to threaten Germany’s ally in World War I, the Ottoman Empire and get them out of the war. The hope was that while the Germans were already contending with Russian and French forces on two fronts, creating a third front would weaken the Germans. The execution however, did not go as planned as there were location errors, planning and tactical errors, mistakes...

...by previous battles. Moreover the American and South Vietnamese forces were attacking the North Vietnamese in a city that was very well reinforced. This battle is important because it was the first time combat was carried out in an urbanized environment. The strategic value of Hue City is because it was a distribution point for resupply efforts. A railroad and major highway passed through the city, connecting the Marine Corps command at Da Nang to the Demilitarized Zone; the Perfume River was used by US Navy supply boats moving to and from the mouth of the river and the South China Sea. If the city fell to the North Vietnamese, the US effort in Vietnam would suffer a major blow. Additionally, our forces utilized the effects of combined tactical elements such as timing, heavy gunfire support, armor, communications, and geographic obstacles to help overcome the North Vietnamese in this momentous battle. The Battle of Hue City began on the night of January 30, 1968 during the Vietnamese lunar New Year, called Tet, a holiday and celebration in Vietnam. Because of this, many of the South Vietnamese military were on leave, and because a truce usually occurred with the New Year, the North Vietnamese prepared a surprise attack when they launched the Tet Offensive on the night of January 30, 1968. The North Vietnamese Army (NVA) commenced their attack around midnight and had seized most of Hue City. By the next morning on January 31, the...

...was the founder and CEO of DHB Industries, a government supplier of body armor used by law enforcement. DHB Industries, formerly known as DHB Capital Group, started with the primary goal to “identify and then purchase small, underperforming companies and convert them into profitable operations by retooling their business models” (Knapp & Knapp, 2013, p.131). One of the first companies DHB Industries acquired after DHB’s securities were registered on the American Stock Exchange was Point Blank Body Armor, which was purchased out of bankruptcy for $2 million (Knapp & Knapp, 2013). DHB Industries’ primary operations soon became Point Blank Body Armor, aided by the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and a spike in demand for tactical armor. Fraud was entrenched in the corporate culture at DHB. David Brooks was the ring leader of the fraud. Sandra Hatfield, the company’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), and Dawn Schlegel, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of DHB were also involved in Brooks’ plans to commit fraud. Three of the top officials in the company conspired to intentionally overstate inventories by millions of dollars...

...methodology 60 Individuals within the research sample were all local and were readily available for questioning. The qualitative nature, small research area and research sampling implies that this research is neither fully complete, nor is it authoritative. Thus the research provides the reader with implications and possibilities as opposed to facts and truths. The researcher conducted a comparative analysis of the data retrieved from the semi-structured interviews. Very simple quantitative analysis and associated methods were applied. For example, if concrete data, numerical information is retrieved in meaningful amounts a quantitative analysis will be conducted. Conceivably, an interviewee may be aware of KM measures (cost savings, increased efficiencies) that impact the study that the researcher is currently unaware of. An example might be that X BDE from Y DIV saved a certain amount of money as a result of a KM initiative. A more appropriate measure might be tied to a training organization, such as a basic training unit, reporting increased transfer of training as a result of a KM initiative. Again, it is unlikely that quantitative data will be gleaned from the semi-structured interviews. An initial research assumption, which the researcher is now certain is factual, states that recorded, measurable, data associated with a repeatable KM initiative does not exist within Army tactical organizations. Second, as determined by Dr. Ward, quantitative analysis of KM processes in a much...

...inform forward-thinking crime prevention”. There are five elements included in this definition: integrating information and operations; seeing the big picture; using cutting-edge analysis and technology; linking to performance of organization and adapting to changing positions(Uchida, 2009b). It is defined as a multi-disciplinary, law enforcement-based strategy that brings together advanced technologies, criminological theory, predictive analysis, and tactical operations that ultimately lead to results and outcomes-crime reduction, management efficiency, and safer communities(Uchida, 2009a). Compare and contrast the new technique and random patrols. From the early 1800s to the 1980s, patrol and criminal investigation dominated policing. Uniformed police patrolled the streets to prevent crime, to interrupt crimes in progress, and to apprehend criminals. However, research since the 1960s has shown the limits of both patrol and investigation for controlling crime. Patrol officers did not effectively prevent crime by questioning suspects, victims, and witnesses. In the 1990s, the police adopted predictive policing strategies in which police initiate action instead of waiting for calls. Patrol remains the backbone of police operations. It consumes most of the resources of police agencies. On patrol, a police officer makes regular circuits or passes through a specific area. Studies of foot patrol indicate that these patrols are costly and do not reduce crime. Because crime is not...

...Introduction Information and communication technologies (ICT) refer to several forms of information exchange between two or more computers through any of the several methods of interconnection. These technologies provide speedy, inexpensive and convenient means of communication. The adoption of these technologies in many countries by different sectors of the economy have been found to have direct positive impact on the organizations's efficiency and have led to more rapid acceleration of development in these countries. In Nigeria, however, preliminary investigations show that only a few organizations in the economy have adopted the ICTs, but there has not been formal study to determine the level of adoption and impact on the efficiency of the organizations and the consequent effect on the nation's economy. This study, is therefore, designed to determine the level of adoption in the Nigerian organizations, and the impact on the operations of these organizations as well as investigating the factors responsible for the present level of adoption of these technologies in the organizations. Globalization of the social economy will further increase during the 21st century. The mission of international air transportation will become more important, and all airports around the world will have a significant role to play. Furthermore, it is predicted that air transportation demand in the world will double over the next 15 years. In the meantime, since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks...
