...Assignment DeAngela Rivers MT435 Operations Management Kaplan University March 26, 2012 Introduction The case of Albatross Anchor is a manufacturing factory that sells only at the wholesale level. The organization has been faced with operational issues over the past couple of years and they are aiming to find a company to revamp their operations systems to receive the maximum amount of profits minus the excess operational issues. KU Consulting is an organization aimed at helping organizations receives the maximum amount of profits; therefore, I feel that they will get the job done. In order to solve these issues the company must develop an operational management plan that will help them to receive the same amount or maybe more profits than its competitors as well as help the organization’s growth. We are certain that the organization has the potential to meet the needs of the customers, but we must make some minor adjustments through an operational management plan. There doesn’t seem to be a major problem with the pricing because they are able to sell the product at the same price and the customers are purchasing the product at that rate. Also, there haven’t been any formal complaints on the pricing of the product, thus far. Now KU Consulting must develop an operational management plan to sweep Albatross Anchor off their feet as well as help them to earn the maximum amount of profits and/or match the profits of its competitors. The organization may also...

...Do Anchor Babies have the Right to Dock on U.S. Land? Jamie Rogers Work Force Diversity Mr. McDonald February 12, 2009 Do Anchor Babies have the Right to Dock on U.S. Land? It is well known that a person born in the United States is an automatic citizen regardless of the mother's citizenship status. However, the United States is unusual in its offer of citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Only a few European countries still grant automatic citizenship at birth. The United Kingdom and Australia repealed their U.S. style policy in the 1980s after witnessing abuses similar to those plaguing the U.S. today. Why does the United States continue to allow a practice subject to widespread fraud? The answer lies in how American jurisprudence has interpreted the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Babies born to illegal alien mothers within U.S. borders are called anchor babies because under the 1965 immigration Act, they act as an anchor that pulls the illegal alien mother and eventually a host of other relatives into permanent U.S. residency. Jackpot babies are another term. The 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 to protect the rights of native-born Black Americans, whose rights were being denied as recently-freed slaves. In 1866, Senator Jacob Howard clearly spelled out the intent of the 14th Amendment by writing: "Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and...

...political and social upheavals have been triggered by exposés of injustice or corruption in radio, TV and newspapers – a testament that media is indeed such a powerful and ubiquitous force, which by no means should be underestimated. For example, radio was best dramatized during the 1986 People Power Revolution . Jaime Cardinal Sin’s appeal to the Filipino people through the Catholic radio station Radio Veritas moved millions to gather in EDSA with the hopes of overthrowing the Marcos regime. Radio and TV are arguably the most common and far-reaching means of relaying messages to the public. The influence of these outweighs the ownership. This is especially seen in rural areas, wherein electricity constraints limit the use and ownership of radio and TV sets, as opposed to Metropolitan areas, wherein ownership of the said appliances are densest. In rural areas, however, the proximity of the households to each other allows these forms of media to be seen and heard by more people, eventually influencing them . In the Philippine context – which is considered to be a highly stratified society – radio, TV and newspapers, are further differentiated according to their target market. Cable TV for example, caters to the upper socio-economic brackets, so do broadsheets written in English. What is clearly evident across these forms of mass media is that the language used is a common distinguishing factor as to the target market (i.e. English for those of the AB to upper C socio-economic...

...Edgar Schein’s Career Anchors There are eight career anchors themes and has shown that people identify primarily with one or two. The anchors can enable people to recognise their preferences for certain areas in their job which can help career planning e.g. a person with a primary theme of autonomy/ independence will seek to work under their own rules and be less likely to conform to organisational norms. People are generally more fulfilled in their careers when they can satisfy their career anchors and seek roles that are aligned with these. 1. Technical/Functional If your key Career Anchor is strongly placed in some technical or functional area, what you would not give up is the opportunity to apply your skills in that area and to continue to develop those skills to an every higher level. You derive your sense of identity from the exercise of your skills and are most happy when your work permits you to be challenged in those areas. You may be willing to manage others in your technical or functional area, but you are not interested in management for its own sake and would avoid general management because you would have to leave your own area of expertise. 2. General Managerial If your key Career Anchor is general managerial, what you would not give up is the opportunity to climb to a level high enough in an organisation to enable you to integrate the efforts of others across functions and to be responsible for the output of a particular unit of the organisation. You want...

...Human Resource Development IRHR3510 - University of Newcastle Assessment 1 ESSAY “Career development: Whose responsibility is it?” Introduction: Career development refers to the “lifelong process of managing learning, work, leisure and transitions” (Parker, 2015). Employee career development is not only vital for the individual’s career but it is also an essential part of business survival strategies (Gololo, 2013). In order to effectively address the question “Career development: Whose responsibility is it?”, this essay will consider the effects of changing business environment on the nature of career development. Research examples, such as Hall’s and Inkson’s articles, are useful in explaining the highly turbulent and complex business environment whilst also differentiating the role each person plays in a modern organisation. The idea of a protean career is essential in understanding whose responsibility one’s career development belongs to. The combination of the changing business environment, as well as the protean career approach to career development, will establish an essential foundation for this essay. The empirical information gathered from a joint research paper conducted by the University of Phoenix in conjunction with EdAssist – “The Story Behind Career Development: Who is responsible?” helps to investigate the current trends within the workplace and how they are evolving. This study investigates managers’ and employees’ perceptions of whose responsibility...

The Door creates an anchor for the loss of that pleasure. -*** The ideal setting for the power of the door is right after you've had intercourse and you're in bed with the girl. -------------------------------------You're fooling around in bed, and you say, (you) "sweetheart, what's that over there?" (point towards the door). (her answer) "well you know, that's a door, silly." (you) "yeah, you know... I'm a real positive person, but.. I mean, can you imagine.. I mean, you don't know what can happen from day to day, when you think about it in your mind. I mean, what would happen if I walked out that door and the door closed and as the door closed, it slammed shut, and no matter what you did, you could not open the door and you knew that you would never be able to look into my eyes again and you'd never be able to hear my voice again and you'd never be able to feel my touch again." (her answer) Ok, right here is where she starts going, "I don't like this door business at all." (you) And at this time you just reassure her.. "ok, alright sweetheart, you're right. You really shouldn't think about the door and you really don't have to think about the door." So you go back to playing around with her some more.

...power by telling Ezekiel to prophesy to the bones. While Ezekiel is prophesying the bones reconnect, form tendons, muscles, skin, and become living people. God then tells Ezekiel that he will restore his people from their grave, and that the land of Israel will once again become his land[1]. The meaning of Ezekiel 37 can sometimes be hard to understand. The scribes who first interpreted the Old Testament took the text literally. They believed that the Old Testament was saying that the bones were those of the dead Israelites, and thought the message was about actual resurrection of the dead[2]. The scribes are most likely wrong, but at the time they had no way of knowing a hundred percent of what the bible was trying to tell you. Today there is still no way of knowing a 100 percent sure of what the bible is telling because of all the different possible interpretations. For example, the very first verse of Ezekiel 37 has many ambiguous words that make it hard to understand. It tells us that “the hand of the lord came upon Ezekiel, and that he was brought out by the spirit of the lord.” when...

...Paper Topic 3 There is a Time For Everything: An Exegetical Analysis of Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 Timing is everything. This is a statement that holds a great deal of truth. The difference between a good joke and a bad one is a person’s sense of timing. An appropriate pause makes a joke, an inappropriate pause can kill the same joke. Timing is essential when dealing with people. One must pick the right time to approach a coworker or friend about a problem. Timing is important in cooking. The moist cake in the oven is still runny batter if baked for too little time and a clump of charcoal if it is baked too long. Timing is important in medicine. If you catch a problem early you will be able to treat it more effectively. Timing is important in taking medication. If you take your medicine as directed it will be helpful. If you skip doses it loses its effectiveness. If you take extra doses it can be deadly. Timing is important in finance. When you invest in a particular stock and when you sell the particular stock will make the difference between whether you make money or lose it. We, as a society have time indicators hanging on the walls, built into our cell phones, computers, and cars. Timing is everything in today’s world, and society as a whole is very time-oriented. Timing is important in spiritual life as well. It is critical to live life with an acute awareness of God’s predetermined timing for life. The importance of timing is portrayed throughout Ecclesiastes 3:1-15. The book...

...Essay Brian Schwartz Finding Yourself With an expansive memory and imagination, the mind grows and constructs images, snapshots, of the everyday life and stores them in the mind for later access. Sitting on the number one train in uptown New York, Colson Whitehead looks out of the subway window as the train rises out from the tunnel as it head towards the next stop. It is the early ages of the city, when “everything is filthy.” This is where he started creating his own private New York (City Limits). “Never listen to what people tell you about old New York,” he says since you were not there to see it for yourself you cannot include it in part of your own New York (City Limits). This is why the Met Life building will always be the Pan Am building to him. He does not call it that “out of affection” but because “that’s what it is” to him (City Limits). To anyone seeing the Pan Am building for the first time will call it the Met Life building because “That’s what it is” to them (City Limits). “The city knows you better than any living person because it has seen you when you are alone” (City Limits). It knows the kind of person you are who you will become. The way you live your day-to-day life, permanently brazened onto your record by the “neon footprint” that is left by “every step” that you make (Broadway). Each person in the city “track [themselves] through city and years” as they walk their familiar paths every day (Broadway). They are the imprints that you left behind as a...

...What is your take on the recent trend of 'million sq.ft. malls' where every second developer wants to make one of the biggest malls in India? Do you support this trend? I support this unprecedented wave of million sq ft mall as with multiple demands on limited time, shoppers carefully choreograph their shopping trips. Mn sq ft size and prominence means that, for good or ill, these malls have a significant impact on a place and its character There is growing acceptance that as long as Big malls are well designed ,made, leased , and suitably located, they can accelerate retail growth in our country In broader perspective Million sq ft malls are signs of growing economic development and prosperity and the desire of the investor and builders to invest in these mega projects -- which means more choice for retailers , shoppers and increasing employment opportunities for catchment population. A large Mall is an indicator that a Industry is moving toward the future. Large malls require plenty of investment, more time and labor to construct , lease and operate but they also have long- and short term advantage . How sustainable will this trend be considering the economic condition of the country? Sustaining a successful retail development in India requires a high level of expertise, proactive management, and innovation. In the near term, the robust consumer demand will mask the lack of experience of these new developers. Over the longer term, however, it will be important...
