Some of the magnificent places being South Shore, The Milwaukee Public Museum, and Humboldt Park. The first place I would suggest moving to Milwaukee for would be South Shore. South Shore is a long walk amongst the sparkling lake. While you walk down the lake you’re either surrounded by an enormous variety of trees that are as green as freshly cut grass, or the shimmering lake and thousands of different sized rocks that look as if they are meant...

...Beginning in England, Thomas Cole started down his path. Learning some basic fundamentals before moving to America at the age of 17, and Cole knew what he wanted to do. After moving to America, Cole started teaching Art at his sister's school. After a couple of years, he moved to New York and started his career. He traveled to and from Europe on several occasions, and for different amounts of time. In 1832 upon his return to America he was asked to paint five paintings,these are known as The Course of the Empire. The first of these painting is The Savage State. The purpose of this first painting is to show the wildness of nature and the constant struggle mankind faces to rule over it. This particular landscape takes place in a valley surrounded by nature and the colors associated with life. The greens of various shades of different types of plants, and the blues for the lightening and darkening of the sky, and the browns for the animals and the dirt the plants grow from. The darker colors of the clouds would suggest that they are storm clouds, and the wildness of their layout would suggest that they would be about to break and rain down a potentially dangerous storm. I believe that this is to convey to observers that...

...There may also be other things you learnt from the class, that are not listed here. Think about how you can take some of these learning points back to your own companies and context, and apply them. The case teaches us: - about moving from a production/selling orientation to a market orientation. This is really really important. The whole case is about this. Market orientation is not just some price change or a new ad campaign. It involves the whole organizational culture, organizational structure, and the whole marketing mix. Get it right inside (i.e. develop a market oriented company culture), and then go outside. - about the role and responsibilities of a chief marketing officer (Mr Kim) in a large MNC. - about bottom up and top down structures i.e. think global, act local. The GMO had a global strategy team (top down. Looking at global strategy, global branding, global budgets) and a regional strategy team, and the regional strategy team interacted with regional managers and country managers. - the importance of internal marketing, and selling to staff the importance of being market oriented. - about being a market leader rather than a market follower i.e. moving from a commodity product to a premium branded product. Moving from a price taker to a price maker. Market leaders must be innovative and do market research. David Beckham doesn’t go to where the ball is! - about the hierarchy of effects.

Andy appears to have been set at finding a career in sports business and is still up and coming the business. Andy also noted that he is moving to Detroit to work with the Lions. Matt meanwhile is settled down with a family and has decided against moving. I think their stories illustrates the importance of making connections in the sports world. Both of them would probably not anticipated meeting each other in their lives, but now they have been able to make a connection that could serve them well in the future (particularly Andy). Finally, I think their stories shows the importance of happenstance in life and the unpredictability of the...

Beginning his career as a senior executive in the private sector, moving on to become executive pastor of a Presbyterian church and into his final and current role as CEO of a global religiously based non-profit organization better known as ‘Habitat for Humanity’. He explains his experiences in depth within his lecture, sharing his own personal milestones and animating the particular steps necessary to becoming a great leader. Leadership is hard Reckford explains, the more people you attempt to lead, the harder It seems to get. He explains the five assets to being a good leader in great depth. First of all is the importance of having good role models in your life, almost everyone has someone in their life that they want to emulate, whether it be counselors, teachers, bosses or parents. In his case it was three very important women. His mother, which was very active in the civil rights movement, his grandmother and New Jersey congresswoman who encouraged him and his siblings to think about what they wanted to do to serve the lost and left out in the world and to be useful. Lesson two was devoted to the importance of observing those you may be hiring and/or may be offering to hire you. Paying special attention to how they treat people not only toward those that could potentially have a positive influence to benefit them personally. The core of good leadership is to...

...profitability (Chopra & Meindl, 2013: 247). Inventory management is the activity of planning and controlling accumulation of inventory which occurs because of local mismatches between supplier and demand (Slack, et al. 2012). Inventory management is one of the building blocks of total supply management and a good indicator of the effectiveness of supply chain management (Basu&Wright, 2008) Stock rotation is an innovative inventory management practice, commonly used in retail, especially in food stores such supermarkets and groceries, of moving products with an earlier sell-by date to the front of a shelf and of moving products with a later sell-by date to the back. (Gustafsson et al. 2006). In this assignment, it is going to be analysed how 7-Eleven achieves the performance objectives; cost, dependability, flexibility, speed and quality via innovative inventory management and stock rotation and further compare this using the importance-performance matrix. The author studied industry journals, including a case study of 7-Eleven’s, and emphasised the impact of stock rotation and inventory management on supply chain management. II.

This paper is about a problem that has been identified in the nursing field and the change process. Patients who need to wear a bipap mask for better oxygenation are having complications with the mask causing a pressure ulcer on the bridge of the nose. This is not only painful to the patient but also increases health cost. This paper is about Lewin’s change theory and how to implement this new change and overcome resistance. It will talk about the freezing, moving and refreezing process, changes that need to be made and how to implement this plan. As well as what is necessary to enforce this change so that it becomes status quo. Lewin’s Theory Kurt Lewin was born in Germany and immigrated to the US in August of 1933, after Hitler came to power. He had originally been involved with schools of behavioral psychology before changing directions and going into research. He is well...

...product is something, someone would want or need. You could research your competition to find out if people want and are willing to purchase your food. What is the difference between a causal model and a time-series model? Give an example of when each would be used. The time series model forecasts statistical techniques that use historical data. This method is often used in restaurants and retail. The causal method uses mathematical correlation between the forecasted items and factors affecting how the forecasted items behaves. What are some of the problems and drawbacks of the moving average forecasting model? Major disadvantages of the moving average method are that it does not react well to variations that occur for a reason, such as trends and seasonal effects (although this method does reflect rends to moderate extent). How do you determine how many observations to average in a moving average model? How do you determine the weightings to use in a...

...Artillery in the Civil War was a reliable, capable and technological advantage for the Union and the South. During this time, some cannons could range up to three-quarters of a mile to one and a half miles. Some imported or larger artillery pieces could range even further distances. When Union soldiers and Confederate soldiers moved across the territories, their artillery pieces would move with them, mobility was essential. During intense battles, positioning of the field artillery was important and the artillery could be used to go forward or sent back, depending on the orders. Positioning and movement meant everything to the field artillery. The field artillery could accomplish its mission only by moving to strategic areas of importance....

...dictionary definition. Social mobility is the movement of people from one social class or economic level to another (“Social Mobility”, Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 2nd Edition). This term is widely used both in Sociology and Economics. It usually refers to vertical movement or moving up or down in rank. For example, if a soldier becomes a sergeant from a corporal, that would be vertical movement. However, it may also refer to horizontal movement or moving from one rank to another of the same social level. Example of this would be a principal who resigns from one school to become the principal of another school. With this definition in mind, we can see that Social Mobility is “movement”. The technical definition doesn’t restrict about the direction – whether you move up or down or just within what’s mentioned before as horizontal movement. Social Mobility is a term used in the objective comparison of economic or social states. Looking at the events around us, we can see that people care more about upward movement. When people talk about Social Mobility, they are likely referring to progress or development. Everyone wants to move up. Like what we commonly see in families. Almost everyone gives importance to good education. Parents keep reminding their children to be good in their studies so they can have good jobs. People want the opportunity to move up. People believe that progress is something that should be given in equal opportunities to us. People want to go up, as a group...

...from the environment that strikes the eye. He also believes that the starting point for perception is the structure of the light that reaches the retinas of the observer. To be able to perceive objects, it is vital for the light to be structured by the presence of the objects, surfaces and textures. The structure itself can be very complex because these rays of light converging on the observer from every part of the surrounding environment and also this structure will change every time the individual makes a move therefore his or her own perspective changes too. Optic flow is the changes in the light patterns that reach an observer when the individual moves. Flow patterns are created when objects in the visual environment flow past a moving observer. The nature of the flow provides information to the observer about position and depth. For example, a motorway sign, first seen as a distant feature on the horizon, eventually passes to the left of you as you drive forward. Texture gradient is seen as one of the important aspects of Gibson’s theory of perception. Our perceptual world is made up of...

...Research Project IV Nicole L. King Baker College HRM315: Evaluating Human Resources Tae Dawson June 13, 2012 Abstract This purpose of this research project was to find out how well BWI HR is meeting the needs of its employees. Fifty surveys were collected and reviewed. One each survey were eight HR services. The HR services are Performance Appraisal, Wage & Salary Administration, Incentive Pay Program, Internal Job Posting, Healthcare Insurance, Technical Training, Career Counseling/Development and Flexible Work Schedule. Each of the HR services had a rating scale to see how important and satisfied the Target employees would rate them. There were three HR services that showed the largest gap between importance and satisfaction. The incentive pay program, performance appraisal system and career counseling and development all showed large negative gaps. The incentive pay program should be changed from an individual-based program to a team/group-based program. The performance appraisal system should evolve into a “social network” type of performance management system. This type of social performance management system will bring many advantages, including empowerment. Finally, the career counseling/development programs should see a small expansion and reviews of the eligible degrees, adding certificates, increasing the tuition reimbursement amount and adding mentoring programs. These improvements should be implemented to improve the HR services, our people and...
