...Network Design for A local Business Name: Course: Instructor: Institution: Date of Submission: Network Design for A local Business The world is moving towards technology, therefore, each and every business whether local or international need to have a well equipped and reliable network. Network design simply ensures that a new technological service satisfy the various needs of the operators and also the subscribers. A network design involves connections of different devices with some end systems, for example, computers or mobile phones and servers that can link to each other well (Juan, 2004). However for our case various locations or departments in our local business need to relate or communicate to each other to provide smooth flow of information. When designing a network for a company we require equipment such as the physical components. These components are the hard drive devices, and they form a computer network through interconnection. Therefore, we shall vary the number and size of these physical components to the size of the network that the business requires. However, our local business has little number of employees of approximately 50 people. In computer network design there are mainly four major physical components. These components have been placed in categories that include but not limited to personal computers (PCs), routers, switches and lastly the interconnections. However, to implement this network design, the following equipment are...

...Creating A Business When thinking about Kingsville and all it has to offer it is easy to see it’s a primary target area for sportsmen. Twenty miles south is Baffin Bay Hallowed waters for trophy trout and redfish. Three of the past four state record speckled trout came out of Baffin Bay’s hyper saline waters. Making it a bucket-list destination for sport fisherman around the world. Kingsville is also home to the most famous hunting ranch in the world, The King Ranch. These two outdoorsman paradises make Kingsville a year-around attraction for everyone from hard-earned dignitaries to blue collar families spending their hard-earned vacation time. There is one thing Kingsville does not have to support this year-round attraction; an outdoor super store to supply all the necessities one may need to enjoy their hunting and fishing needs. Kingsville offers everything a sportsman could dream of but they need a place for that sportsman to buy the products they need to chase that dream. A store that sells quality hunting, fishing, birding, and outdoor equipment would be extremely profitable to the storeowner and the community. The store could offer products like fishing gear such as rods, reels, tackle, and bait; hunting gear that included guns, shells, decoys, camo, and feeders; feed for deer, livestock, fish; ATV’s such as 4-wheelers; and apparel. They could also sell snacks, drinks, and ice. When it comes to the staff they could hire college students who are dedicating their...

...First Universal Lending LLC- An Elaborate Scam By Javoris L. Brown Strayer University LEG100 – Emily Smith Business Law 1 November 2012 The local business I choose to do my research on is First Universal Lending LLC, a limited liability company created by attorney David J. Feingold. Originally, First Universal Lending was created to help borrowers with the process of financing or purchasing a home. However, throughout the time that they were helping borrowers, many people were put into loan payments that they could not afford. With their livelihood and pride at state, borrowers began to complain about the loan that First Universal Lending acquired for them. Once these complaints were made public the company’s credibility reached an all-time low. In an effort to rekindle the flame the company hired new managers and personnel to point them in the right direction. Sean Zausner and his younger brother David Zausner were the new recruits that would maximize the profit and minimize the lost. After doing a bit of research, the Zausners proposed a new program that was capable of having an infinite line of income, The Loan Modification. During the loan modification process borrowers were attempting or led to believe that the terms of their mortgage could be reconstructed to their benefit or needs. With their home and family at state borrowers were willing to pay anything to keep their houses, this train of thought is what the Zausners predicted to happen. Once David Feingold...

Customers are interested in the business because they are the ones who use the products/service which it provides. I think the customers are the most important stakeholders for costa as without the customers they would make no money and the business would shut down. Therefore costa has to keep regular customers happy at all times so they return and also try to bring in new customers or there is no point in the business existing. | Customers – customers are the people who buy products/services from a business. customers are affected by the business as they are the ones who are helped by the charity, and the reason the charity started up.

...Business Communication Issues The global marketplace creates many opportunities for business development, but ineffective communication that comes along, both internal and external, can harm employees, customers, and stockholders. Therefore, when conducting business globally, it is important to understand the barriers to effective communication and know how to overcome them. Based on different objectives, we can identify these business communication issues from three dimensions. In the case of multinational corporations, the first barrier exists in the multi-level communication between headquarters and the overseas branch. With limits or no authorization in making big decisions, the branch has to report to headquarters and make requests for approvals before implementations. However, the information has to be passed through many more layers than in a local business during the procedure, which inevitably affects the efficiency of communication. Amazon, whose market value surpassed the U.S. nation's largest retailer Walmart in July 2015, has never performed as shiningly in China as it does in the U.S. Left behind by Taobao and JD.com, the leading businesses in China’s C2C and B2C area, respectively, Amazon’s market share kept slipping in recent years. Steve Frazier, Amazon’s ex-CEO in China, attributed the reasons to the very limited decision-making power that the China management team has, and the redundant layers of hierarchy that result in ineffective communications with the...

...World Bank declared that decentralization is defined as “the transfer of authority and responsibility for public functions from the central government to intermediate and local governments or quasi-independent government organizations and/or the private sector”. Decentralization is also regarded as a way of diffusing social and political tensions and ensuring local cultural and political autonomy (Bardhan, 2002, p. 185). Local governments in Indonesia started to develop and to govern their regions by gaining huge transfer of authority and ability to make their own decision-making from central government with these laws. Indonesia begins with the components in political decentralization and then move forward to fiscal decentralization and finally the administrative decentralization. According to Cheema, Nellis and Rondinelli (1999), political decentralization aims to give citizens or their elected representatives more power in public decision-making. It is used typically by political scientist interested in democratization and civil societies to identify the transfer of decision-making power to lower-level government units or to citizens or their elected representative. For instance, regions have to set new regulation to implement those newly empowered authorities. Fiscal decentralization enables local...

...for the appropriate service and excludes other fees (e.g. local loop, burstable bandwidth etc). Access charges are fees paid to local telephone companies by residential and business customers who want their telephones connected to public long-distance network, and by long-distance carriers who want their services linked with their customers’ telephones. A long-distance call originating from a home or office must go through the local telephone company’s facilities to get out onto the public long-distance network, and, at the destination, it must pass through another local telephone company’s facilities to get through to get to the recipient’s home or office. In effect, local telephone companies are the telecommunications equivalent of toll booths in the highway transportation system and they incur certain costs in building and maintaining the facilities needed by long-distance customers and carriers. Access charges paid by those customers and carriers represent payments for use of the telephone company facilities and to help it recover the costs of building and maintaining the local network. There are three types of access charge: end-user, switched and special. End user charges are paid by all residential and business customers in the from of a flat monthly fee (separate from service charges) for connection or access to the long-distance network. Each home or office containing a telephone is connected to the local telephone company (and therefore to the long-distance network)...

...Katelyn Goodhart English 110 Cheryl Marsh March 5, 2014 Go Local Walmart, Target, Superfresh, Food Lion, and Shoppers are only a few of the grocery stores that the United States provides to Americans. In these grocery stores consumers can find most of the necessities they need for a week or two, including food, hygiene products, and medicine. There was a time when these well-known companies such as Walmart and Target did not exist. Instead people would buy food at farmers markets, produce stands, or butcher shops. They would go to the corner store to buy hygiene products and the pharmacy for their medicine. Americans eventually realized that traveling to multiple locations for the bare necessities was a bit of a hassle and so they created grocery stores. Now, costumers do not have to travel to multiple places for their dinner, shampoo, and detergent; instead they can travel to one place. Grocery stores quickly grew into large franchises that have scattered across every state in the US. Though grocery stores make shopping convenient, efficient, and less of a hassle; they also create multiple dilemmas for communities, the environment, and consumers. Consumers can help limit such issues by shopping as if we were still in the days when supermarkets were not around, to the days when people bought locally. The food that Americans eat does not come from the local farmer anymore. Instead it ships to the United States from across the country or even across the world. Since America...

...Tesco, corporations, society and consumers In this essay we are going to start to look closer at what is important for a business and what is important for society. We are going to look closer at Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and find out what it means for a business and society. Some businesses, especially big businesses, shape many aspects of our lives. Some are around us all the time. Some have turnovers larger then a normal person can imagine. Some multi nationals have turnovers larger then some states. That being the case, how de we want them to conduct themselves? How do we want them to behave? To start, we have to answer some questions. What is important when you are a businessman and you manage a business? Do you have some responsibility to the society and the rest of the world? To answer these questions we are going to look at both sides of the spectrum. At one side of the spectrum we have the free market views of people like the economist Milton Friedman. He has argued that a business not should think about the society and the problems that the society meets. The only social responsibility of a business is to make money and get the highest profit as possible – anything else is theft from the shareholders pocket. “There is one and only one social responsibility of business–to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without...
