...subscription. Michael Dubin was the founder and he used digital media to achieve a goal of getting more customers but also to get investments from big companies. The prices range from a $1 to $9 a month based on what type of razor blade customer chooses. The idea of selling razor via subscription came to the owner Michael Dubin because he have heard of many man complain of the prices of razors in stores. At the begging of launching his business, he spent months driving down San Diego to connect with bloggers to spread the word. However, it was difficult and he decided to make a video to tell the story of buying a razor via subscription. After launching his video on YouTube it has been seen almost 10 million times. In the first 48 hours of launching the video, he had 12,000 orders placed. After the launch of the video the business kept growing, Dubin struck a deal with many investors, which helped him, grow the company. Today the business is valued at $615 million, what started, as a video ad now is multi million-dollar company. With the use of digital media, Dubin was able to attract customer to purchase the subscription. He used several strategies that helped his video ad be successful such as making a funny video, launching it a the right time, using funneling marketing strategy, and creating a call to action within the video. His success was measured based on customers sharing the video and money earned. Goals of Individual The goal of Dubin was to...

...: Leadership and Management Leadership and Management 1. Introduction The origins of management can be traced back to the age of mediaeval mercantilism or even earlier, yet the nature of business management as an applied science only really developed in the last century. In the modern context, business management is limited to one component of the economic system, namely the individual organization, whether it be a private business, a government corporation or, to a lesser extent, a non-profit seeking organization. Contemporary society consists of diverse organizations, including business enterprises, schools, hospitals, sport clubs, churches and political parties that contribute to the functioning of the community. The profitable performance of these organizations is dependent on attaining pre-designed objectives and to make its services as productive and efficient as possible. However, organizations do not achieve their objectives automatically. In addition to the human resources, physical resources and special know-how in a business organization, there is still one element that is necessary to direct all these resources and activities effectively towards the goals of the enterprise. That indispensable element is management and without it, no purposeful action is possible. The question that is raised within this context of traditional and contemporary views of leadership is how does this aspect coincide and interact with the practical ideals...

Issue: Is plaintiff liable for participating in the fraudulent activity and if so, should plaintiff be relieved of the title of holder of the Note?

Thus, under N.Y Uniform...

...Psychological Bulletin 1980, Vol. 88, No. I. 60-77 Work and Nonwork: A Review of Models, Methods, and Findings Boris Kabanoff School of Social Sciences, Flinders University of South Australia, Bedford Park, South Australia This article examines theory and research in the field of work/nonwork relations. Three different theories of work/leisure relations are examined—compensation, generalization, and segmentation. All three theories have received some support; however, the review indicates that much of the available research evidence is constrained by conceptual and methodological problems. A number of paradigms for describing work/leisure patterns are reviewed, and it is concluded that most of these paradigms are more suitable for classifying leisure definitions than for guiding empirical research. Research in this field requires objective definitions of attributes common across life spheres. A task-based description of work and nonwork is discussed, and its research utility is illustrated. It is recommended that future research be concerned with describing different work/leisure patterns, the processes underlying these patterns, and the life consequences associated with different patterns. The meaning and the relationships between labor and leisure, work and contemplation, or in the most general sense, work and nonwork have been a source of intellectual, political, and religious debate for a considerable period in Western history. However, the view that the interplay...

...of Direct taxes include income tax, corporate tax, and any tax imposed on property. Indirect taxes, on the other hand, include, value added tax, sales tax, per unit tax and excise tax. In this paper, I will discuss excise taxes and also the impact of taxation. According to (Kaplow, 512), excise taxes are paid when certain goods such as gasoline are purchased. Excised taxes are put in the price of the product. Excise taxes are also imposed because of wagering and also to trucks when they use major highways. In the video, various issues surrounding excise tax have been highlighted. One of these issues includes the principle of taxation that is fairness, and the other issue is tax incidence. A). Benefits Principle According to (Dubin, 234), this principle outlines that imposition of tax should depend on the benefits received. This policy argues that those who should pay high taxes are those who receive greatest benefits. This principle of taxation is applied to usage of public goods such as libraries, highways, national parks, colleges, forests, etc. The principle of fairness explains that tax imposed on individuals or corporate must be equal across the board, all should carry equal tax burden. In my own I do not believe that the excise tax imposed upon Whiskey by the US government is not justified. This deduction is as such because first the circumstance that the US was under was revolutionary war. Therefore, the benefits that the United States accrued from this war...

This is due to the fact that the Windows machines may end up having serious security problems. As a matter of fact, Windows has a bad security record when it comes to operating systems (Dubin, 2005, p. 123). There is need for the company to create a set of layered defenses and avoid the idea of running capricious programs. It is also better for the company to substitute programs that have a terrible security track record with more reliable programs (Dubin, 2005, p. 127). The role of the Company information security officers is to ensure that the windows and Unix/Linux servers are secured from shortcomings and vulnerabilities; otherwise the company may risk being targeted by hackers (Brown, 2011, p. 58). The dynamic internet ecosystem sees the myriad of VLAN switches, firewalls, routers, and other devices, thus making servers and devices unreachable from a simple configuration error (Brown, 2011, p. 185-9).

However, some knowledge of organizations and organizational behavior is claimed. It is from this perspective that I will engage in an over-view, not a re-view of the contents of this volume. One way to interpret an overview is to think of it as looking overliterally as looking beyond. It is in this sense that this overview is prepared. Initial Observations Two initial observations have struck me. 1) Leadership must ~urely mean followership. 12) Leadership is interestingto us because it occurs within organizations. Of clearly secondary importance for students of organizations is leadership expressed in informal groups, in natural groups, and in temporary groups. Yet, in this volume these simple points seem to slide by unnoticed and ignored to the peril of clarity in presenting and interpreting results. Another observation: 3) The...

...firewalls and anti virus software in place, that way the information is more secure. Keep in mind -- securing your system can be a lot of work, securing your system may cost time (and money) today, but prevents much greater costs in the future. Attacks against Unix and Windows network services have increased dramatically in the recent past, and show no signs of abating. Because security vulnerabilities are constantly being revealed, staying informed about recent security issues is crucial. There is need for the company to create a set of layered defenses and avoid the idea of running capricious programs.

Security firm FireEye released the results from a study they conducted and found that one third of the businesses in the UK, France, and Germany are at a loss with the new cyber security legislation.(1) If one third of the businesses that are in the European Union do not understand the upcoming laws your research team is going to be very busy. The establishment of the data protection regulation has created to things to point out that may make trying to follow it a little easier. First it wil1 be designated as a regulation. A regulation is applicable in all European Union states.(2) Secondly, there is now harmonization, only one regulatory authority that manages its state of things in all of the European Union states.(2) Before this change each European Union state had its own directive that you would have to worry about compliance. One thing to consider is if you plan on using a cloud based software for your data. It will need to be secured and protected against hacking. You will need secure the data before it is sent to the cloud using a process called cloud data encryption and tokenization.(3) Tokenization is taking the sensitive...

...terms due to “good time” credits or by permission from a state or federal parole board. These truth in sentencing reforms started in the late 1980’s and were done to make sure punishments for violent offenders increased and also to create a better uniformity in sentencing. (Sabol, Rosich, Kane, Kirk, Dubin) In 1994, the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, also known as “the Crime Act” was passed by the federal government. As part of this legislation, the federal government would issue grants to States for building of new or expanded prisons but only if the States promised to enact truth in sentencing reforms for violent offenders. The grants would only be given if the States passed laws that required a violent offender to serve, at a minimum, eighty five percent of the sentence imposed on them in prison. A study done by the Urban Institute looked at the implementation of the State truth in sentencing laws and found that after they went into effect, it did increase the amount of time an inmate served on their AMERICA’S INCREASING PRISON POPULATION 4 sentence in prison (Sabol, Rosich, Kane, Kirk, Dubin), yet the driving forces behind the rising prison population went back to the increase in crime rates and arrests, likely a result of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act.

Data so sensitive that in their majority is composing of identity, credit, and property information so well collected and compiler that is plenty for the creation of a clone of a company or a person.
