...Check Point: Business Models and Systems * Consider a local business whose services you frequently use. What are the main components of this company's business model? Write a 200- to 300-word response describing the three components of the business system that comprise the local business you selected. Use Figure 1.2 on p. 11 of Introduction to Business as a reference. The business I chose is Adore Nails and Spa, in Riverside, California. I have been going here to get my nails and toes done for the last few years. I have been to a lot of different place that did a good job, but Adore Nails and Spa is the best. The business System is the combination of business commerce, occupations, and organizations that produces and distributes the goods and services that creates value for people in a society. Business commerce is defined as the process which people produce exchange and trade goods and services. To me this means to barter in a sense. I do not believe that this business does this because it is a nail salon that does top of the line nails and massage therapy. Business occupation is defined as the acquired set of specialized skills and abilities that allows people to create valuable goods and services. Adore Nails and Spa employees are all state licensed in Cosmetology and Massage Therapy. I personally believe that this business has the best quality and customer service in town. Business organization is the system of task and authority relationship which coordinates...

...CheckPoint: Group Communication Stroker Ace XCOM/285 3/10/2012 CheckPoint: Group Communication For this check point assignment, I will be discussing how businesses can organize their employees/staff into teams, the benefits of doing so, and the communication within the group. Group communication differs from individual communication because you need to always be actively listening. Making sure that other group members get an opportunity to speak and share their opinions. Being an active listener can also help resolve conflict between one group member and another. Some examples of conflict resolution would be to make responsibilities and ground rules clear at the beginning, discuss problems as they arise, rather than letting them fester till people explode, and realize that group members are not responsible for each other’s’ happiness. One of the most important elements of a successful team is open and honest communication, with employees sharing opinions and information to ensure that all team members are certain of the business objectives and how to achieve them. Ways to foster group communication would be schedule regular meetings with the whole team, so that each member can provide feedback as to any concerns they may be having...

... Outdated hardware and software, lack of database space, inadequate telecommunications capacity, incompatibility of old systems with new technology, and the rapid technological change are some of the descriptions to look at for this dimension. The final dimension of the three is the people dimension. The problems in this area that are described are lack of training, difficulties of evaluating performance, compliance, work environment, lack of overall company support, indecisive and poor management. In order to have a successful business, I believe that finding solutions to these problems will improve the practice is important. What I have seen in the company I work for now is not everyone is vested in the tasks at hand so the attitudes of some people are poor. If the company can get involvement and interest in the Information System by all members of the company that will eliminate some of the problems and possible create ideas on how to financial fund a good system. 2. What is the difference between IT and information systems? Describe some functions of the information system. Information Technology or IT is the actually hardware and the software that is used for the information system that is utilized by a company. This includes everything from the computer to MS Office applications that will increase the productivity of staff.

...BRIEFING Non-European Labour Migration to the UK AUTHOR: DR SCOTT BLINDER PUBLISHED: 30/01/2012 NEXT UPDATE: 30/01/2013 1st Revision www.migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk BRIEFING: Non-European Labour Migration to the UK This briefing examines labour migration to the UK among people who are not from the European Economic Area (EEA). Labour migrants are those whose primary reason for migrating or whose legal permission to enter the UK is for employment. Key Points Non-EEA labour migration increased over the 1990s and early 2000s but has declined since a peak in 2004-2006. Skilled and highly-skilled workers (Tier 1 and 2 of the Points-Based System) take up slightly less than half of entry visas issued for work. A majority of non-EEA labour migrants coming to the UK are male; a majority of newly arriving labour migrants are aged 25-44. The largest numbers of non-EEA labour migrants are nationals of Asian countries, followed by the Americas; labour migration among Africans has declined since at least 2004. Understanding the evidence Labour migration involves people coming to the UK for the purpose of paid work. Depending on the source of data, measures of labour migration might involve people who say that they are coming to the UK because of a definite job or to look for work (International Passenger Survey data), or people who have permission to enter the UK through a workrelated visa (administrative data on visas and passenger entries). IPS and administrative...

...Anti Gun Control Do you want to be defenseless when an armed criminal breaks into your house and you can’t fight back because you don’t have any firearms in your home? Don’t you want to protect your family and yourself incase of a dilemma such as this? Well our country The United States of America is threatening to almost strip us of our American right to bear arms. Over the past 200 years the need for weapons, especially firearms for the single purpose of self defense from nature has drastically reduced. However, the gun has become the face of America for a while now and more than half want to keep it that way ensuring the safety they have to protect themselves and their family. First of all, if America’s government wants to take away the guns of our fellow citizens to “benefit” us, they’re wrong. Taking away the guns of American people will just render everyone of us defenseless to fight off intruders in our own household. In every country criminals always find a way to obtain illegal firearms for the tyrannical use of killing and the gaining of power. With that being said, the crime rate wouldn’t go down if the Government took away our guns but would flourish terribly because the criminals would know that we as a nation of Strong Americans were finally vulnerable to whatever criminal who carried a firearm. Secondly, citizens having guns is a good thing. Even though 54% of America may disagree, 58% need the safety that their guns bring them. Already half of...

...gps. For all this control points are needed .This essay explains how theodolite, gps and total station are used in setting out a building on a construction site. First of all the first task is to establish a base line from which the whole building can be set out. Baseline are located by setting out their terminals. If coordinated the would be set out from a traseverse. The length and width of the baseline can be measured and compared with its compound value .Altenative baseline could be set out with reference to other details such as road center lines, existing buildings etc. once the baseline has been checked , individual building can be located from it . Theodolite uses movable telescope to measure angles in both horizontal and vertical planes they are manual instruments that comes in two types , transit which rotates in full circle in the vertical plane and non-transit, rotation in half-circle.Using a theodolite at point A and sighting to the furthest end of the baseline point B ,turn off a right angle and establish a peg at C .locate a peg at E in similar fashion from B .Check the distance CE . with a theodolite at C and using CE as a baseline locate corner D .measure the diagonal DE to check the setting out so far .Adjustments can be made to D if the check discovers an error. Locate corner F from E in similar fashion and check the diagonal CF .check the length DF Secondly a global positioning system is also used in setting out .if the point is in asuitable place for...

...the price of a raw material. l Precautionary motive: to maintain a safety cushion or buffer to meet unexpected cash needs. The more predictable the inflows and outflows of cash for a firm, the less cash that needs to be held for precautionary needs. Ready borrowing power to meet emergency cash drains also reduces the need for this type of cash balance. It is important to point out that not all of the firm’s needs for cash call for holding cash balances exclusively. Indeed, a portion of these needs may be met by holding marketable securities (cash-equivalent assets) and by maintaining unused borrowing capacity (e.g., bank lines of credit). For the most part, firms do not hold cash for the purpose of speculation. Consequently, we concentrate only on the transactions and precautionary motives of the firm, with these needs being met with balances held both in cash and in marketable securities. Cash management involves the efficient collection, disbursement, and temporary investment of cash . The treasurer’s department of a company is usually responsible for the firm’scash management system. A cash budget, instrumental in the process (see Chapter 7), tells us how much cash we are likely to have, when we are likely to have it, and for how long. Thus it serves as a...

...Effect: low cost fares, point-to-point service, “10 minute turnaround” and an enjoyable friendly atmosphere. After the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, Southwest adopted a polity that irregardless of the profitability of expansion opportunities, the company wanted to commit to a manageable annual growth rate of about 10-15%. The following questions and discussion will address the historical challenges of Southwest airlines, the direction the company contemplated in 2002, and a brief look at the challenges of today. 1). What is the competitive business environment The airline industry has always been competitive. In an analysis of the most profitably investments as per our class discussion, surprisingly, airlines come in at the lowest return on each dollar invested at around 2.5%. Southwest Airlines experienced 30 consecutive years of profit a mere two years after it’s founding in 1971. Many airports began requesting Southwest service for their passengers, but throughout Southwest’s expansion, the company aimed to maintain a manageable growth rate and focus on their core competencies of low price fares that would compete with the cost of driving to the destination. In the mid 1990’s, the major carriers entered into price wars to undercut competition. Although, these dealings did affect Southwest’s bottom line, Southwest still manage to continue to turn a profit and expand due to their expansion into a reservation system and their...

...define the sovereign territories of nations like the United States. Ports of entry and borders provide the exit and entrance points for people, goods, and conveyances, which enter or depart a country. Modulating borders and other ports of entry like the airports is crucial in ensuring the law and preventing the flow of contrabands, which may include illegal drugs. Moreover, criminals may use these points of entry to enter the U.S and carry out their illegal activities. The U.S borders and airports have exhibited a vulnerability towards the drug threat. Through restricting the flow of drugs across its borders, the U.S can reduce the availability of drug within its borders (McLinden & World Bank. 2011). Consequently, it may significantly reduce the effects of drug trafficking and drug abuse in the country. The smuggling of drugs and the entry of criminals is an unbearable slur to the welfare of the nation. The duty of countering the effects of aliens and contrabands is vested in local law-enforcement, state and federal agencies. These agencies are responsible for setting up security schemes in the airports. Nonetheless, recent terrorist and smuggling events have portrayed the vulnerability of the security systems in the U.S airports. The security systems employ modern and conventional technology. It thus begs the question as to how effective the security system are in curbing entry of contraband and illegal aliens. At the forefront of the defence for the U.S, active border controls...
