...has made it one of the necessities that we must have in our homes. The television provides us the ability to be able to learn, laugh, and in some cases to love. With the newest evolution of the television that have become more aspects that have made the television even more sought after. The most recent being that of the flat screen television that has done away with the big box back television that weighted over one hundred pounds and took up enormous amounts of space. What we have today is a unit that weights seventy five to eighty percent less and takes up almost ninety percent less of space than a traditional television. The ability to have a unit that takes up considerably less space and weights less has its benefits as well as its downfalls. The most understandable downfall would be that it makes it more likely to be stolen. Being aware of this problem it made it easy for the product now known as the StrongArm. The StrongArm is an anti-theft device for flat screen televisions. The StrongArm is a device that makes it difficult for thieves to take the flat screen television off the wall by acting like a claw that holds and grips the television from the front and back with brackets. The StrongArm attaches to the wall like a traditional television mount just with a stronger anchoring base and support as well as a stronger arm that extends out to allow the television to...

...Case Study Analysis COMM/215 July 7, 2014 Case Study Analysis The recruitment and hiring of new employees take experience, effective communication, and time management skills. Carl, who is new to his recruitment position, hit some roadblocks when he hired his first batch of recruits. This case study analysis will identify the key problems Carl encountered, alternatives to his current situation, and look at possible solutions so he may avoid these problems in the future. BACKGROUND Carl successfully hired fifteen employees for the Operations Supervisor in April. His goal was to have all the new employee files completed, have them oriented in June, and have them working by July. Carl was responsible for making sure the employee files were complete, scheduling the orientation and providing all written material for the new hires. When contacted by Monica, the Operations Supervisor, he assured her that everything would be arranged for the June 15th orientation. Just prior to June 1st, when Carl was going over his new trainee files, he discovered many problems that would affect his plan for his new hires to complete their orientation on June 15th. KEY PROBLEMS Carl’s lack of experience and time management is a key issue; it left him vulnerable to problems. Carl also failed to communicate effectively with his team members and his new employees. Carl encountered three key problems. The first problem found was that the files for the new employees were incomplete...

...36Professor Lynda Radican | 5/12/2011 | As any teacher worth their weight in salt will tell you, they set out to give students the best possible education. Along that path they often influence the future generations. My teacher has identified one of the many problems troubling this burgeoning generation. The problem being the busyness that technology has created. The purpose of this assignment was to examine my screen habits and make change as I saw fit. By reading powers book, I was able to articulate the problem and take steps towards a remedy. I struggle as a writer; at times I am brilliant, in my mind at least. Most other times I am just sitting staring at a screen or finding some other distraction. My writing process involved discussing the books topics with others. The lesson being taught by this book made me think of my teenage child now and in the future, accordingly I wrote to that audience. Reading this book has been a help to me. I sit for hours, but it could be even longer with the distraction of a connected screen. I have taken steps to alleviate this distraction. I thank you for introducing me to William Powers. It is my hope that with this paper you will gain a degree of insight into my balanced life. Also it was my intention to fashion my thoughts into an “A” grade paper. Free of grammatical error and on task with the assignment. My process as a writer has been to get something down on paper and then revise it over and over. I sometimes utilize...

...Introduction to bench marketing If a company is to be successful, it needs to evaluate its performance in a consistent manner. In order to do so, businesses need to set standards for themselves, and measure their processes and performance against recognized, industry leaders or against best practices from other industries, which operate in a similar environment. This is commonly referred to as benchmarking, in management parlance. The benchmarking process is relatively uncomplicated. Some knowledge and a practical dent is all that is needed to make such a process, a success. Therefore, for the benefit of corporate executives, students and the interested general populace; the key steps in the benchmarking process are highlighted below. A Step-by-Step Approach to Benchmarking Following are the steps involved in benchmarking process: (1) Planning: Prior to engaging in benchmarking, it is imperative that corporate stakeholders identify the activities that need to be benchmarked. For instance, the processes that merit such consideration would generally be core activities that have the potential to give the business in question, a competitive edge. Such processes would generally command a high cost, volume or value. For the optimal results of benchmarking to be reaped, the inputs and outputs need to be re-defined; the activities chosen should be measurable and thereby easily comparable, and thus the benchmarking metrics needs to be arrived at. Prior to engaging in the...

...PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS: SEPARATING WINNERS FROM LOSERS IN THE ASSOCIATION WORK PLAN Once an association has adopted a strategic plan, the next step is to convert the goals and objectives in that plan to a work plan and budget. But how can this be done? Every association program or service has a constituency and a claim on resources. How then to weigh the allocation of scarce resources to ensure that the objectives of the plan are attained and member needs are served? Portfolio analysis has been devised to help associations bridge the gap between strategy formulation and strategy implementation. In other words, it helps you make the hard choices of where to put your money. It is the creation of Dr. Ian MacMillan of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and the basis for The Forbes Group’s model. What Portfolio Analysis Is Portfolio analysis is a systematic way to analyze the products and services that make up an association's business portfolio. All associations (except the simplest and the smallest) are involved in more than one business. Some of these include publishing, meetings and conventions, education and training, government representation, research, standards setting, public relations, etc. Each of these is one of the association's strategic business units (SBUs). Each business consists of a portfolio of products and services. For example, an association's publishing business might include a professional journal, a lay magazine, specialized newsletters...

...Introduction The organisation I have chosen to study is Boots. My chosen organisation has many different ways of presenting information. Information can be found from a large variety of sources. These ways include; verbal, written, on-screen, multimedia and web-based. P1 Verbal Face-to-face verbal communication is the simplest type of communication to understand, people are less likely to misinterpret things that are being said. In the business environment it is not always possible to meet in person and is more convenient to talk on the telephone. Telephone conversations are also an effective way of communicating and it is important to use a variety of different methods. There are many ways of using verbal communication. Talking is the most effective and comfortable way for most people to communicate. The purpose of using verbal communication is that it is the simplest type of communication. It is used very often in boots stores. For example when customers come into store and need to find out the location of the product. It is very commonly found on a day to day basis. It is used all the time when communicating to customers. For example yesterday I was helping a customer, whilst working on the perfume counter, to find a suitable perfume for her daughters 16th birthday. Written Written communication is one of the most common forms of communication within the business environment.

...Chapter Eight: Multivariate Analysis Crosstabs Revisited Simple crosstabs, which examine the influence of one variable on another, should be only the first step in the analysis of social science data (refer to Chapter Five). It is fun to hypothesize that the more conservative a person's political orientation the more likely they are to oppose abortion, then run the crosstabs, and then conclude you were right. However, this one step method of hypothesis testing is very limited. What if all the Republicans in your sample are religiously conservative and all the Democrats are atheists? Is it the political party that best explains your findings, or is it religious orientation? Or what if the political conservatives as a group are much older than the liberals, would age then be the real causal factor? Or is it some combination among all of these variables that explains the varying opinions of your respondents? In Exercise 3 of Chapter Five, we wondered if TRUST is related to RACE. Using TRUST as the dependent variable and RACE as the independent, here is the table from Chapter 5 (Figure 8-1): Figure 8-1 At first glance, RACE differences appear to be very important (overall, 58% of those surveyed said people cannot be trusted, but the epsilon statistic -- the difference between the highest and lowest percentage -- is 22). Also note that few Respondents said “Depends” – most had a definite opinion here. Let’s do some recoding: RACE should be recoded into a different...
