...Security Specializations William Feathers SEC/310 February 22, 2016 David M. Bagnoni Security Specializations “Education is not preparation for life; it is life” John Dewey. Statistically educational facilities are safer than being at home, but as things change in the world, we need to start looking at making them even safer. Educational security is relatively new it has only been around for about 60 years (Ortmeier, Ph.D., 2013). In light of recent years, it should be a field that should be expanding. In this paper, I will be discussing this field of security, the role of the security manager, and the importance of the specialization in regard to security interests. Along with addressing the following questions: How does your selected specialization affect international and global business, and how does it affect domestic business? First, this specific field of security covers a broad spectrum of educational institutions from pre-k through college. Each one has their own dynamics and security risks that need special assessments. This field covers one of the world’s more precious commodities which is the safety and lives of future adults. Each person attending school has their own plans and dreams. Most of their time in a learning institution is not concerning if they are safe or not. It is spent studying, learning, and preparing to tackle the world and what they want out of life. So this field has a lot of variety to it. At one school the security...

...Specialization-1 vs. Diversification-0 There is an ongoing debate in the business world between specialization and diversification. Companies like Fitbit and Lululemon benefit from their expertise and innovation in niche markets, whereas companies like PepsiCo and Koch Industries benefit from their diverse product and service lines that appeal to a wide variety of customers in several unrelated markets. So which business strategy is more effective in creating value for the company and its shareholders? While this question is not entirely answered by a quantitative analysis, given that businesses are dictated by more than the numbers, this research report addresses the underlying question by analyzing the conglomerate discount using ten company examples. The Conglomerate Discount The general idea behind the conglomerate discount is that companies with multiple unrelated business segments are unfairly valued in the market place as a result of rolling up the various divisions under one, larger parent company. Proponents of the conglomerate discount theory argue that the market essentially penalizes companies that diversify their portfolio of businesses by valuing the conglomerate company at a market value that is less than what the sum of the values of unrelated segments would imply. Because the operations of the business units vary tremendously, an investor that wants to generate a return on one division of the conglomerate must also invest in the multiple other unrelated...

...Business Specialization decision at Sukkur IBA Life is a journey of decisions. At every stage from childhood to manhood, everyone makes and takes a large number of general and specific, and important and unimportant decisions. Consciously or unconsciously, everyone tries his or her best level to make a successful decision. Some decisions become successful and there is no doubt, the successful decisions bring satisfaction, and some not and they indeed bring regret. Later on, some feel the regret and some not, it is a human behavior. People spend a lot of resources and time to avoid from the regret because it brings many psychological diseases or disorders which take them away from their spiritual comfort or satisfaction. Some decisions are general and not critical, and too tied to future. For example: buying dresses, wearing cosmetic and playing games. Some decisions are specific, critical and too tied to future. For example: marriage decision, job career and specialization decisions. For specific decisions, specific decision inputs or bases are required to make them successful. Students, being younger, make more specific decisions than others. Recently senior students of Sukkur IBA have been facing problems in their selection of specialization; which one out of four specializations to select and why?

...Vertical Specialization and the Changing Nature of World Trade David Hummels, Dana Rapoport, and Kei-Mu Yi T he world’s economies have become increasingly integrated and increasingly global. Among the most important and often cited features of the rise in globalization is the enormous growth in the export and import shares of GDP since World War II. In the United States, international trade— that is, exports plus imports—accounted for 23.9 percent of GDP in 1996, up from 9.2 percent in 1962.1 Worldwide, the merchandise export share of production has more than doubled over the last forty-five years, while the manufactured export share of production has almost quadrupled (Chart 1). Most countries—emerging nations as well as highly developed economies—have experienced increases in their export share of GDP (Chart 2). Clearly, a greater number of countries are trading more today than in the past. David Hummels is an assistant professor of economics at the University of Chicago’s Graduate School of Business; Dana Rapoport is an assistant economist and Kei-Mu Yi an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Another significant feature of increased globalization is the internationalization of production. Rather than concentrate production in a single country, the modern multinational firm uses production plants—operated either as subsidiaries or through arm’s-length relationships—in several countries. By doing so, firms can exploit powerful locational advantages...

...DISCOVERING ONE’S TALENT: LEARNING FROM ACADEMIC SPECIALIZATION author OFER MALAMUD* The author examines an exogenous difference in the timing of academic Abstract specialization within the British system of higher education to test whether education yields information about one’s match quality in different fields of study. In distinguishing between systems requiring early and late specialization, he predicts the likelihood of an individual switching to an occupation unrelated to one’s field of study. If higher education serves mainly to provide specific skills, the model predicts more switching in a system requiring late specialization since the cost of switching is lower in terms of foregone skills. Using the Universities Statistical Record from 1972 to 1993 and the 1980 National Survey of Graduates and Diplomates, he finds that individuals who specialize early, as in the case of England, are more likely to switch to an unrelated occupation, implying that the benefits to increased match quality are sufficiently large to outweigh the greater loss in skills from specializing early. With regard to instruction, economists have made substantial progress in specifying and identifying the economic value of higher education, as it increases the value productivity of human agents as workers . . . the much neglected activity is that of discovering talent. It, too, can be approached by treating it as a process which provides students with opportunities to discover whether they have...

...Analyzing the Consumer Market When it comes to purchasing a service/product, consumers are influenced by three factors cultural, social, and personal Factors. Let us take a look into personal factors. Personal characteristics that influence a buyer’s decision include age and stage in life cycle, occupation and economic circumstances, personality and self-concept, and lifestyle and values (Kotler & Keller, 2012, p.155). Many of the factors listed above have a direct impact on consumer behavior. One personal factor that might influence a consumer before purchasing Subway is lifestyle and values. Lifestyles are shaped partly by whether consumers are money constrained or time constrained (Kotler & Keller, 2012, p.158). Consumers stop into Subway and purchase $5 sandwiches, which are both healthy and delicious, after working many hours at their job. Not only does the consumer get a fast healthy meal, but that also pay a reasonable price. Age and stage in the life cycle is another personal factor that might influence a consumer before purchasing Subway. What a consumer likes to eat can be closely related to their age. Consumption is also shaped by the family life cycle and the number, age, and gender of people in the household at any point in time (Kotler & Keller, 2012, p.155). A significant shift in eating patterns is under way among the millennials, those 18 to 30. In 2012, Subway reported sales in the Unites States of $12.1 billion, compared with $11.4 billion in 2011...
