...Organisational Structure "The purpose of a formal organisation structure is to enable the firm to define objectives for each section or department which will help the organisation achieve its corporate aims." (Fearns, 1992) The diagram (Appendix 1) shows the organisational structure within Rigney Dolphin. It shows the hierarchy and the relationship between one department to another and who each department has to report to. By analysing this chart we can see the importance and great responsibility that each sector possess. Organisational charts are very valuable to any business as it gives clarity to each person's role, it enforces workforce planning, resource planning and also supervisory communication. Without this structure many employees would wasting a lot of time deciding who is going to do what which can also lead on to tasks been undone. Here we will take a further look into each department head description. Owners/Directors: Dr Frank and Adrienne Dolphin. They keep up to date with the company activities day to day. They are the source to which all employees and managers will report to. The position of an owner in Rigney Dolphin means a great deal as they are responsible for everyone's wellbeing within the company. They hold meetings with clients of the call-centre such as SSE Airtricity, BMW, HSE Cleveland Clinic and it is up to their decisions and business knowledge to ensure the company keeps its contracts and hold and pursue new and existing clients.

...QUESTION ONE Toyota South Africa has moved into a new era in vehicle manufacturing in South Africa as a fully-fledged member of the Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) global production network. Following a five year multi-billion Rand plant modernisation and revitalisation programme Toyota’s Prospecton manufacturing facility, just south of Durban, boasts the latest in world class automotive manufacturing technologies. Many of these are proprietary TMC systems only recently released for use in Toyota plants outside of Japan. March the 4th 2008 marked a significant new chapter in the history of Toyota South Africa as the company became firmly established as a true volume exporter of vehicles in TMC global proportions. Using the Five Forces model of Michael Porter is a very elaborate concept for evaluating Toyota's competitive position. Michael Porter provided a framework that models an industry and therefore implicitly also businesses as being influenced by five forces. Michael Porter's Five Forces model is often used in strategic planning. Porter's competitive five forces model is probably one of the most commonly used business strategy tools and have proven its usefulness in numerous situations when exploring strategic management model. The auto manufacturing industry are considered to be highly capital and labour intensive. The major costs for producing and selling automobiles include: Labour - While machines and robots are playing a greater role in manufacturing vehicles...

...of a grumpy old person constantly on the verge of explosion, it is sure that the autonomy of the company will by out of sync. It was 2 years ago that a CEO had almost single-handedly almost brought a company to its knees, sending shock throughout all corners of Wall Street. He went by the name of “Chainsaw Al.” The near crumble of Sunbeam Corporation, a company that specializes in making household and outdoor goods, laid basically in the personality of Al Dunlap and his style of management, where he was autocratic and the structure was too top-down. When organizational structure is so top-down that information and advice only flow downwards and employees’ suggestions are ignored, problems are bound to occur sooner or later. After his one-man show, conducing chaos and disorder, the board of Sunbeam could no longer stand the horrid situations and fired him. “You guys are responsible for the demise of Sunbeam! I’m here to tell you that things have changed. The old Sunbeam is over today. It’s OVER!!,” Dunlap screamed at his executives (Byrne 132). “It was like a dog barking at you for hours. He just yelled, ranted, and raved. He was condescending, belligerent, and disrespectful,” recalls Richard L. Boynton, president of the house-hold products division,...

...neesmu princis, ne parasts, ne sapņu. Arī zirga un mirdzošu bruņu man nav. Pat ne parastu. Es esmu vienkāršs puisis, ar savu augumu centimetros, svaru kilogramos, un vecumu gados. Darba dienas gaitā man mēdz iesvīst paduses, es apmeklēju tualeti, es ēdu un guļu. Reizēm mans garastāvoklis ir labs, un es smejos, reizēm tas ir īgns vai nedaudz uzvilkts. Šajā pasaulē ir jomas, kas mani aizrauj un ko es saprotu, un ir tādas, kas ir vienaldzīgas un tādas arī paliks. Arī man vajag jumtu virs galvas, nedaudz ēst, un nedaudz siltuma. Es esmu dzīva būtne, 21.gs Eiropā. Ne pasaku radījums, ne zinātniskās fantastikas pārstāvis. Tikai cilvēks, kas aizņem telpu un laiku. Apzināt to, ko tāds varētu Tev sniegt, nebija viegli, it īpaši, ņemot vērā to, ka Tu man šķieti esam pelnījusi visu, visu, visu to labāko. Ar manu sociālo un kulturālo fonu un izaugsmi, man nedraud braukt ar jaunākā izlaiduma mašīnām. No otras puses, man vienmēr būs auto, kas turēsies kopā un katru gadu izies obligāto apskati. Es nedzīvošu pilī, bet arī pajumti mežā, zem skuju telts jumta meklēt nenāksies. Par mani nerunās Holivudā, bet varbūt ka vietējā pagasta laikrakstā zinās vārda pēc. Es neprojektēšu jaunākos kosmosa kuģus, bet arī problēmu paņemt lāpstu vai āmuru aiz pareizā gala nebūs. Sava veida stabilitāte, vai tas būtu pluss, vai mīnuss – izlem Tu. Mūsu attiecības – tajās būs viss. Būs pastaigas roku rokā, kad pasaule būs rozā, un griezīsies ap mums. Būs brīži, kad mēs abi berzīsim netīros traukus. Kādu reizi es Tev...

...The Montgomery bus boycott changed the way people lived and reacted to each other. The American civil rights movement began a long time ago, as early as the seventeenth century, with blacks and whites all protesting slavery together. The peak of the civil rights movement came in the 1950's starting with the successful bus boycott in Montgomery Alabama. The civil rights movement was lead by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who preached nonviolence and love for your enemy."Love your enemies, we do not mean to love them as a friend or intimate. We mean what the Greeks called agape-a disinterested love for all mankind. This love is our regulating ideal and beloved community our ultimate goal. As we struggle here in Montgomery, we are cognizant that we have cosmic companionship and that the universe bends toward justice. We are moving from the black night of segregation to the bright daybreak of joy, from the midnight of Egyptian captivity to the glittering light of Canaan freedom" explained Dr. King. In the Cradle of the Confederacy, life for the white and the colored citizens was completely segregated. Segregated schools, restaurants, public water fountains, amusement parks, and city buses were part of everyday life in Montgomery, Alabama “Every person operating a bus line should provide equal accommodations...in such a manner as to separate the white people from Negroes." On Montgomery's buses, black passengers were required by city law to sit...

...The Montgomery Bus Boycott ’’Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent’’ Martin Luther King All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. (Article 1. of the (1948) Universal Declaration of Human Rights) The Montgomery Bus Boycott officially started on December 1, 1955. That was the day when the blacks of Montgomery, Alabama, decided that they would boycott the city buses until they could sit anywhere they wanted, instead of being relegated to the back when a white boarded. 1.) http://www.watson.org/~lisa/blackhistory/civilrights-55-65/montbus.html The story of the Montgomery Bus Boycott is often told as a simple, happy tale of the "little people" triumphing over the seemingly/apparently unbeatable forces of evil. The truth is a little bit different and a little more complex. "The movement started on the day in 1943 when a black seamstress named Rosa Parks paid her bus fare and then watched the bus drive off as she tried to re-enter through the rear door, as the driver had told her to do. When Parks refused to give up her seat, a police officer arrested her. As the officer took her away, she recalled that she asked, "Why do you push us around?" She remembered him saying, "I don't know,...

...After the confusing start to my day on the bus, I went inside my house and saw the newspaper on the ground. I dropped everything and reached the point of fainting. I front of me was the headline that read, "Man caught on tape killing wife and kids," with the picture of the man from the bus on it. I rushed into my room, locking all doors, knowing that I have lost my sleep. I took two days off from work to relieve myself from the shock. The two days flew by and I just finished my day shift on my first day back to work after the short gap. As I turned the corner towards my street, my jaw dropped in astonishment. There he stood, the man from the bus, on my front porch. Despite the fact that he was a murderer, his face looked purely innocent....

...holds both programs and data which is known as the stored program concept. This allows programs to be changed easily. Memory is addressed linearly- there is a single sequential numeric address for each and every memory location. Memory is addressed by the location number without regard to the data contained within. Using the Little Man Computer, it requires the use of a particular mailbox to store or to retrieve data (in the form of 3-digit numbers). When adding 2 numbers, the LMC will use the ADD instruction which allows the Little Man to go to the specific mailbox address given from the instruction, then grab that number in the mailbox, then go to the calculator to add the mailbox number to the number already stored in the calculator while the number in the mailbox is unchanged. These steps follow the guidelines of the von Neumann architecture in that it stores a number, goes to the specific mailbox address, and adds to the number stored in the calculator with the number in the mailbox being unchanged. 6.7) CHAPTER 7 7.5) The fetch-execute cycle is the basis for every capability of the computer and as already seen from the Little Man Computer, the operation of every instruction is defined by its fetch-execution instruction cycle. Much of the cycle consists of copying data from one register to another and involves using steps: Step 1: PC -> MAR (instruction being transferred from the specified memory location to the memory data register) Step 2: MDR -> IR (transfer...

...Have you ever wanted to experience what it would be like to be a different race or to see how you would be treated if you were a different skin color then you are today? Well, in the book “Black Like Me” by John Howard Griffin, Griffin decided to do something like that and go see the outside world in a different race. Although Griffin only did this experiment for a couple of months I believe that he knows what it is like and truly experienced what racism against Negroes is like. Throughout this experiment it taught him what he could do to try and fix the racism against black people. Frist, Griffin decided to start his journey in New Orleans, Louisiana to see the racial discrimination. There was a lot of racial discrimination with every where...

...Scenario: Stop and Frisk Scenario 1: Police receive an anonymous tip that there is a white man, wearing a gray hoodie and black pants standing at the bus stop carrying a gun in his left jacket pocket. Officer Bob responds to the bus stop and observes the man as described. Question 1: Can Officer Bob conduct a stop and frisk based upon the dispatched information? Explain your answer Within the framework of stop and frisk a variety of factors must be assessed. First, does the police officer have a reasonable suspicion the person is going to commit a crime. Second does the police believe the person to have something on their person that would allow them to engage in a crime. In New York for example the stop and frisk rules are a bit lighter than in most states. A police officer in New York stop someone if they believe this person is going to engage in a Penal law misdemeanor (Matthews 2013). In Florida v. J.L the court ruled that if a person is believed to be carrying a gun be it the officer was told or reasonably believes it to be so the officer therefore has a right to search. For the sake of scenario the suspect is said to be carrying a gun from anonymous tip. This dynamic alone based on precedence allows for stop and frisk. So in this scenario the police has...

...Segregation Segregation was shut down by a man named Martin Luther King Jr. by his famous speech. How the blacks’ lives were before segregation ended,the boycott against segregation,and Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech. Thanks to this speech we now all live as free people in America. This first paragraph is about background information about segregation. Segregation made black people seem like they were worse or not as good as the whites. While the whites had a good new drinking fountain the blacks had an old rusty one. When Martin Luther King Jr. started the march to fight injustice he made the group not ride the bus, especially after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus and got arrested. When Rosa parks did not give up her seat to the white man the bus driver called the police to come and arrest her. Segregation was not an enjoyable time for blacks because it still made them look like and feel like they were worse. It made them feel this way because if the white man needed to use the bus and a black was on it first and it was full the black would get kicked off. So fighting segregation was not an easy thing. They got segregation cancelled...

...Rosa Parks and the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott HIST102 American History since 1877 The civil rights movement in the United States was a struggle against the racial discrimination and segregation the African Americans faced prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Dating back nearly 100 years, when the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863, black people in the South had been fighting for equality from the moment they were freed from slavery. There were many events that contributed to the civil rights movement. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was established in 1909. Jackie Robinson broke the color lines of Major League Baseball in 1947. In 1954 Congress overturned the Plessy vs Ferguson ruling, determining that segregated schools naturally unequal. In 1963 more than 200,000 blacks and whites marched to the nation’s capital to protest racism and hear Martin Luther King Jr’s famous “I Have A Dream” speech. In 1964 the Civil Rights Act was passed, forbidding racial discrimination in schools, employment, hotels, public transportation, etc. Following the Civil Rights Act was the Voting Rights Act in 1965, which was instrumental in the expansion of black voters. There were many more events that helped shape the development of the civil rights movement and in the following information will discuss one in particular: The 1955 arrest of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott. Rosa Parks was born on February 4, 1913. She worked...

...There is no key individual or organisation that has not been exaggerated to some extent. The success of the Montgomery bus boycott was due to a combination of organisations and key individuals. So to say the success was by one person or organisation would be dismissing the roles and significance of the other factors. These factors range from the role of organisations such as the NAACP to individuals such as Rosa Parks. Martin Luther King’s role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott was being a leader. The setting up of the NACCP in 1909 illustrates that rising social tensions regarding the advancement of coloured people in the sense of state endorsed racial discrimination, and public segregation had been exhausted for over half a century. This suggests, if the desire to protest didn't exist then the boycott would never have succeeded regardless of King's existence and efforts, as stated by King “There comes a time when time itself is ready for change.” So the success of the Montgomery bus boycott depended on how strong the black communities desire to keep on protesting and was not just a single man regulating them. Since desires to protest were already implemented before King’s existence, it would only be natural to exaggerate the role of ‘the single man that made it happen.’ In 1913 the NACCP showed that it could organize a respectable opposition against government policy such as the Jim Crow laws; over a decade before King was even born. As King stated “I just happened to be here”...

...South Asia Disaster Report 2007 Chapter 13 Other Man made Disasters Introduction Man made disasters cover a wide range of events created largely due to accidents, negligence or sometimes even by human design, which result in huge loss of lives and property every year in South Asia. These include road, rail, river, marine and aviation accidents, oil spill, building and bridge collapse, bomb blast, industrial and chemical accidents etc. These also include the threats of nuclear, biological and chemical disasters. At present there is no organized system for collecting data on man made disasters. EM-DAT does collect data on some technological disasters, but these do not cover the complete range of information on man made disasters. As per EM-DAT sources a total of only 21 technological disasters had affected the countries of South Asia killing 569 people, but road accidents alone had reportedly killed more than 135,000 people which is several times more than the total number of persons killed due to natural disasters.
