...Design and Budget Paper University of Phoenix COMM/301 In most businesses a request for proposal is a part of creating new revenue, business, resolving problems, and building business relationship. However, the budget is the most imperative portion of a proposal. The client or buyer is going to inquire about the bottom line, and even question or challenge how this cost was produced. Therefore, creating a sound budget is vital to receiving an approval on a request for proposal. The next process is to know which proposal should be presented to the client or buyer. The four budget types which can be presented are an Itemized budget, non-itemized budget, fixed budget, or a flexible budget.

...California Minimum Wage COMM/215- Essentials of College Writing California Minimum Wage In 2016 California minimum wage will be the highest in the country jumping form $8 per hour to $10. This will be the first minimum wage increase in six years. This increase will come in two separate $1 increments the first to take effect on July 1, 2014, and the second on January 1, 2016. Democrats back the bill saying it will help families in this economy, and it will also stimulate the economy because people will spend more money. Governor Jerry Brown said that this was an “overdue piece of legislation that would help working class families.” Republicans say it will hurt small business and hurt job growth. The California Chamber of Commerce called it "a job killer," and the California Restaurant Association said it was a "blow to small businesses" because they were thrown off by the proposal of the raise in minimum wage (“California to raise minimum wage to $10 by 2016,” 2013, para. 10). The maximization in the raise of the California minimum wage will help to decrease poverty in California. Even with the tax relief that was put in place for a family of two children, most families are still below the poverty line because they are working full time jobs earning minimum wage (“Obama gets behind democrats' $10.10 minimum wage proposal,” 2013, para. 10). Most families that are working only earning minimum wage are barely making ends meet to support their families. Hiking up the minimum...

What is more with the rise of digital technologies in electronic communication, businesses have opened the proverbial door to larger international customer base transactions. As companies, organizations, and individuals seek to increase annual business revenue, the way that they communicate has become the focus for targeting business to customer (B2C) and business- to- business (B2B) relationships. Because companies are beginning to compete aggressively for growing online e-commerce, business communication has become less formal as businesses vie to expedient electronic sales information more efficiently.

These messages can be sent for various different purposes including invitations to do business, initiating a new business together, for joint ventures, and other reasons.

This paper will be analyzing three business-to-business messages using the communication process. The analysis should also include a descriptive explanation of characteristics that would improve the messages, including whether the message and technology were appropriate given the environment and purpose.

...Activity 2 5DPP In today’s business world we’re expected to drive our own development, keep ourselves fresh, embrace change and keep abreast of external factors affecting the role we play in the business environment we work in. One of the ways to drive and improve personal performance is by undertaking self assessments. While there are many self assessments available, many rely upon different contributing factors. The Johari Window theory focuses on communication being vital to a successful business; being an information processing model, the Johari Window employs a four-part figure to reflect the interaction of two sources of information - self and others. (Teleometrics International, 2007). Whilst the Johari Window could be an advantage in future roles I wish to progress into within Wilko, identifying area’s I don’t know about myself could be vital to the success of my newly formed team. The disadvantages far out weigh any benefit from this model, as personality type ENFJ’s are sensitive (identified by the Jung typology test); Too Sensitive – While receptive to criticism, seeing it as a tool for leading a better team, it's easy for ENFJs to take it a little too much to heart.

...Analyzing Messages Randy Koval COMM/470 April 19, 2016 Rosalind Raby Analyzing Messages When analyzing messages, the Basic Communications Model is the starting point for analyzing the communications process in terms of the intent of the sender, the needs of the receiver, and the elements of the communications environment. This paper will analyze three business related messages that one has sent or received and analyze these messages using the communication process. This analysis will include the descriptions of the purpose, sender, receiver, message, environment, technology, noise and feedback. While analyzing the messages, one will determine whether the explanations of the messages were appropriate as well as explain how the content, media and technology of the feedback are appropriate for the purpose of the audience. Message 1 (Face-to-Face) The first business related message is face to face between me and my immediate supervisor. My supervisor and I had a meeting in her office to discuss scheduling for upcoming projects which is the purpose of the message. My supervisor (sender) asked me how I (receiver) want to schedule staff accordingly in order to efficiently be able to manage the projects over the weekend. I responded with my ideas as to go about scheduling in order to efficiently staff for the projects. My supervisor then agreed with my proposal and I went on to schedule the staff after coming to our conclusions. Given the environment and purpose, the explanation...

...SMash: Secure Component Model for Cross-Domain Mashups on Unmodified Browsers Frederik De Keukelaere, Sumeer Bhola, Michael Steiner, Suresh Chari, Sachiko Yoshihama {eb41704, sachikoy}@jp.ibm.com, {sbhola, msteiner, schari}@us.ibm.com IBM Tokyo Research Laboratory, Kanagawa, Japan; IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, New York, USA ABSTRACT Mashup applications mix and merge content (data and code) from multiple content providers in a user’s browser, to provide high-value web applications that can rival the user experience provided by desktop applications. Current browser security models were not designed to support such applications and they are therefore implemented with insecure workarounds. In this paper, we present a secure component model, where components are provided by different trust domains, and can interact using a communication abstraction that allows ease of specification of a security policy. We have developed an implementation of this model that works currently in all major browsers, and addresses challenges of communication integrity and frame-phishing. An evaluation of the performance of our implementation shows that this approach is not just feasible but also practical. The technology discussed in this paper allows mutually mistrusting client-side components to communicate safely without any modifications to current browsers, and hence has the potential to achieve immediate and widespread adoption.

...RESUMES WHAT IS A RESUME? A resume is a custom designed, written summary of your background. It provides a thumbnail sketch of your education, experience, and qualifications to a prospective employer. An effective resume targets a specific type of position and relates your skills and experience to that position. WHO WRITES A RESUME? A resume is written by anyone seeking employment, both part-time and full-time. Although there are companies that provide resume-writing services, the most effective resumes are written by the job seeker--after all, who else knows you, your qualifications, and your experiences better--someone you just met, or you? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A RESUME? A good resume (in combination with a cover letter) will provide you with an interview. The employer will select applicants on the basis of how well their skills match up with the job requirements. Sometimes, the difference between getting an interview and being placed in the “no” pile is a well put-together resume. GENERAL RESUME GUIDELINES: Length: • A one-page resume works for the recent graduate. If you have extensive work history, two pages are reasonable. Remember to limit pertinent to what is important to the current job objective. Appearance: • Developing a well organized, readable layout determines if it gets read! Direct the reader’s eyes to the format. • Avoid dense text appearance, which is difficult to read. • Use high-quality white or off-white paper--stay conservative...

List the necessary attributes as agreed upon by your Learning Team.

Introduction To write a paper or any document, it is important to ensure that the material that is referenced is fact based and is classified as a good resource, but what exactly is a good resource. There are multiple answers to this question; however there is certain criteria that makes some resources good, while others may lack. We evaluate that if the resource is written by a subject matter expert in the field, the information in the resource is classified as good. Next, the timeframe in which the document was written comes into play, if the information is outdated or superseded by updated information, the resource may not still be applicable. The type of document is also important, stated generally, what would a user trust more, information contained in an encyclopedia or in an online blog? Last, is the information in the resource needs to be unbiased so that the user is able to evaluate a topic without having a pre-determined stance in support...
