...care, but I am also trained in front office procedures and I have supervisory as well as training experience. Quality patient care is my passion and I also recognize the importance of creating a compassionate work environment for my team. More recently, I have been introduced to the dental field. At my current place of employment I have exceeded expectations and in doing so I have earned a promotion from Front Office Assistant to Treatment Coordinator. I have experience with Dentrix, managing schedules, working with a high volume patient flow and managing patient accounts. I do ask that you not contact my current employer until we have had the opportunity to speak, as I do not wish to discuss my current decision to relocate back to Nevada without solid employment opportunities. As an effort to constantly strive for improvement I am also a full time student at the University of Phoenix. I am currently excelling in achieving my bachelors in business management. My goal is to obtain a career that will allow me to use my skills, compassionate patient care, and leadership qualities to their fullest and eventually lead me into a position that will allow me to utilize my degree. I sincerely look forward to meeting with you at your earliest convenience. You may contact me at (775) 835- 3014 or you can e-mail me at meganpruitt85@yahoo.com. Attached to this cover letter is my resume and experience. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely: Megan Pruitt | | | megan pruitt...

...Facts The city of Sparks was chartered in 1906. . This city is located in Washoe County, Nevada and was established in 1905 and sits just east of Reno. The most recent census states the population to be 90,264. It is a sister city to Reno, NV, being right next door. The community relies on much of its revenue from the gaming industry. However, recently the city of Sparks has expanded its work force by bringing in small tech firms which helped by expanding the warehousing industry. There has been enormous growth during the past twenty years. In 1970 the population was 28,702, in 1980 in was 53,230, in 1998 it was up to 61,560 and currently is climbing towards 100,000. Due to low wages earned in the gaming industry, often jobs are not stable and employees are far from earning livable wages. Many of the families are transient and move from city to city in search of higher paying wages. This effects the lives of the students that attend school. Often the students at Case High School may move several times in a year and so they are not at school for an extended period of time. This effects their ability to make and keep lasting friendships as well as their ability to gain and retain information learned in school. The instability of many students’ lives interrupt their learning experience. This interruption in the learning experience can be exasperated or diminished by staff members at the...

...Brian Simpson Management MGT/521 05 February 2010 Dr. Robert Larkin Why I want a Master’s of Business Administration There are a myriad of reasons one would pursue a Master’s of Business Administration degree or better known as MBA. It takes a high level of mental stamina and drive to accomplish the goal notwithstanding they are working a full-time job. I have been working toward accomplishing the MBA for enhancing my career and to establish precedence within my family. This paper will enlighten the reader of why the degree of an MBA. Enhancing My Career Recently, I was offered a job and have since accepted the position as an electronic quality assurance representative to monitor the Department of Defense contracts of private companies in the Reno/Sparks area. I chose this position because of the experience that I gained via the military. I chose this field because I want to do my part to ensure the Department of Defense continues to be provided with a quality product. I have 11 years experience performing analytical research and inspections of several types of avionics systems. I have the technical experience to perform the job however; I do not have an inkling of how the inner workings of a private business work. I believe a MBA would assist me to have an understanding of my job and the company that has the contract that I would be overseeing.

...CASE 2 Hilton Hotels Hilton Hotels Corporation owns, manages and/or franchises hotels, casino-hotels and inns; sells furnishings, equipment, and supplies to hotels, motels, and inns; and operates a computerized reservation system for the hotel industry. After two major takeover attempts in the early 1990s, Hilton Hotels decided that it had to change by becoming a more aggressive business operation. The result was the decision to move heavily into gambling. This change of strategic direction represented a significant shift in Hilton’s business focus and marketing objectives. Already the owner of four casinos in Nevada, the Los Angeles hotelier began pushing projects in New Orleans, Chicago, Egypt, Turkey, Uruguay, and Australia. While gaming accounted for about 34 percent of Hilton’s overall sales in the early 1990s, its four casinos contributed nearly two–thirds of Hilton’s operating earnings. Nevertheless, Hilton’s new emphasis on gambling carried a large element of risk. Competition for the gaming dollar is intense, and the degree of investment needed to be successful is high. Hilton has had to put more than $6 million into renovating the Las Vegas Hilton to keep up with such rivals as the Mirage and the Excalibur, and it has also renovated the Flamingo Hilton to keep pace with other new places. To lure high rollers away from other casinos, the Las Vegas Hilton has had to be more generous about extending credit, resulting in bad gaming debts and reductions in operating income...

...In July of 1991, Fred Maiorino lost his job as a sales representative for Schering-Plough after several years as a top salesperson. After a lengthy court case and trial, Fred won a lawsuit in the state of New Jersey for age discrimination and was awarded $8.44 million in 1994. Whether or not Fred’s age was the reason Maiorino was actually a factor is beyond the scope of this paper or the information on hand. The jury that sat for the trial certainly has more details and first-hand accounts of the issues; the jury decided in favor of Maiorino and, with a little faith in our justice system, I will accept their decision. After a review related to motivation, I discuss the actions Schering-Plough took to motivate Fred and the way feedback and age affect job satisfaction and job performance. Motivation Methods of motivating employees is much discussed in management journals. From Herzberg’s KITA (kick-in-the-ass) method (2003) to need- based motivation to reinforcement theory, this issue has raised many questions about what kind of motivation works for companies. In my research, I found that one of the most important things for managers to keep in mind when trying to motivate an employee is that every employee is different and will react differently to the various techniques available (Duening & Ivancevich, 2006; Kolstrup, 2012; Milbourne & Francis, 1980; Deal, Stawiski, Graves, Gentry, Weber & Ruderman, 2013). A lack of absenteeism, putting forth best effort, always...

...QUESTIONS 1. Identify and describe all the different types or forms of innovation exemplified in this article by explaining with data and facts from this case. Product Innovation (the development of an improved product) Dell is the only computer company which offers its customers the built-to-order model. The customers can choose which components they want to have in their computer and can adapt it to their needs. Process Innovation (the development of a new manufacturing process) Dell has brought a maniacal focus to shaving minutes off the time to assemble and ship a computer. By studying videotapes of "the build," as they call it, factory managers have slashed in half the number of times a computer is touched by workers. They've counted the screws in a PC and redesigned it so that the major components simply snap in place. The entire process, from the time the order is taken to when the finished PC exits the factory, is wrapped up in four to eight hours. Organizational Innovation (a new internal communication; introduction of a new accounting procedure) Dell has a very good communication. As they standing under so much pressure regarding to the fact that they have no inventory, they have to have this skill. There is even a round-the-clock communication with the parts makers overseas existing, which helped them to handle with the lockout in 2002. Without this communication they had never managed it through it. With the built-to-order principle Dell has also...

...Expectation of Development in Early Adolescence Amy Whalen Carrington College, Reno Expectation of Development in Early Adolescence Bone fractures are a common occurrence during the childhood years. Children are vulnerable to injury because of the daily activities they perform, the risks they take, and the rate of growth. This can impact the growth and development both physiologically and psychologically for the child. Adolescents can view this type of injury as an impact on their social development and can see their recovery as a slow process that is robbing them of their time with their peers. Although it is crucial to focus on the healing process physiologically for an adolescent, it is also important to ensure the teen is developing appropriately through the psychological stages of life. The developmental stages introduced by Erikson, Freud, Piaget, and Kohlberg help to determine a child’s path into adulthood.
