...It Project Implementation Failures Before an IT project can begin, the acquisition process must be successful. Once the implementation process beings, however, many things can start to go wrong because there are many factors and people involved that may not work together. Although the acquisition process is very stressful and important too, the implementation of planning a project and choosing the right team to do the job is not always as easy as it sounds. As hard as it may be to effectively navigate through these potential failures, project failures such as the ones illustrated in the case study, Memorial Health System CPOE Implementation, can be evaded. At the beginning of the implementation process, Fred Dryer and Joe Roberts agreed and established a plan to get the CPOE system effectively enough for the staff and other employees to use. Stakeholders did not agree with Dryer and Roberts that this system would be meaningful and eventually disagreed with them. This must be a common problem with the implementation process, because it is very difficult to get so many people to work together cohesively. The organization undergoing the IT process must be a cohesive unit in believing in the project as well as being on the same page about what needs to happen. Since the stakeholders have too much power in the process, Roberts and Dryer left the project. The other project failure demonstrates the difficulty of choosing the right team members and management personnel to effectively...

...Cold War Ideology and Policies Axia College April Griffin January 29, 2012 The Cold War Ideology that crystallized after WWII changed wartime alliances that existed during the war because after time the Soviet Union and the United States were the two most powerful countries in the world. However, the Soviet Union as we all know was built on communism and had planned on taking over several other countries. We found out that the Soviet Union let the power that they had, and the fact that the surrounding countries were devastated by the war, go to their head. They were or had taken advantage of the other countries misfortune and we as the United States could not let that happen. Therefore, the United States and the Soviet Union did become mortal enemies. The American Cold War policies and practices did influence international relations by helping the countries that were the most in need of help. According to our Week One reading Cold War America (2005), “The United States, Great Britain, and France decided to transform their occupation zones into an independent West German State” (p. 803, Paragraph 4). However, in 1949, the United States, and many other countries did join together...

...Intimidation in Sport JoThaddeus Morgan Axia College of University of Phoenix According to the Axia College Week Three reading Intimidation, Competition, and Sportsmanship (2003), “Intimidation is the act of causing someone to be fearful, withdrawn, or coerced” (p.56). In the scenario in Appendix B, the athletes, coach, official, and spectators all exhibited some form of intimidation and in the following paragraphs will explain how and suggest an alternative behavior for each participant in the scenario.

...Job Fair Brochure Rhonda Holt Bus210 Axia College of University of Phoenix The structure of my company is a sole-proprietorship. I am the only owner of the business. One reason that I chose my business to be a sole-proprietorship is because it is the simplest form of business (Chapter 2, p.57, ¶4). Another reason is that I do not want to be liable for anyone else’s money that they have put into the company. By being the only owner, I take all financial risks. Because of this choice, one impact could be if someone sued me, the person would be suing me, not my business. By this, I mean that my “I will not have the benefit of having my personal assets protected separately from those of the business” (Edwards, 2005). Another impact would be that the money I earn would be mine; I will not have to share it with other owners. My business model of my small business is that I make gift baskets of all kind for others to enjoy; I make baskets for all occasions for customers of all ages. I am making a product for other people’s enjoyment in the hopes of making a profit. I will also be selling teddy bears, roses with gold tips and the actual basket for those who want to make their own baskets; also some jewelry for some custom made baskets. I selected this element because I am a for-profit organization, which means that I am in business to make a profit. The impact of this would be that if I run my business correctly, I would make a decent profit, and then be able to open...

...My nutritional habits have gradually changed. It has changed for the better as I am eating much healthier than before. For example, I noticed the meals I used to eat lacked vitamin c. Now, I make sure to drink orange juice, or any other juice that contains lots of vitamin c. A big habit I was able to break is my constant midnight snacking. I no longer do this, and have stopped the indulging myself of foods in the middle of the night. I try to beak up my meals in small dosages through the day and avoiding having any big appetite before I sleep. I believe my new habit of exercising more had helped me get into this situation of sleeping early as usual along with better decisions on what to eat. Another change I have done with my eating habits is the consistent checking of nutritional labels. I learned so much from this class especially about the use of calorie counting. Because of this new learned fact, I am now able to count my calories and adjust for future meals, avoiding consuming too much later. For example, the tool, http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov, is a great aid to anyone who wants to see how much a person is consuming in terms of calories, carbohydrates, protein, and fat. This tool, I use often, helped me gradually get to me well needed goal of losing weight. I noticed I’ve been consuming too much empty foods that don’t have essential vitamins. This has caused my weight to go up. However, I am reversing this bad habit, and am eating much healthier...

...Accounts payable and trade credit work in different ways. As stated by Axia (2010), “Accounts payable are financing vehicles because they represent short-term loans extended, in the normal course of business, by vendors and employees” (¶3, pg. 325). Meaning that accounts payable are monies owed to vendors and/or employees for inventories and/or services that were purchased on credit. Trade credit, on the other hand, is an extension of time in which money for purchases is owed (Axia, 2010). When dealing with accounts payable monies owed for products and/or services such as utilities and other services or, goods may be expected to be paid within as little as 2 to 30 days depending on the billing terms and agreement. Were as when dealing with trade credit, payments may extend over a greater period and a discount may be offered if the amount is paid in full within a certain period (Axia, 2010). Opportunity costs associated with trade credit are that of other arrangements that may be foregone by using trade credit. If a company or business is unable to pay its debts within the allotted discount period, the annual interest rate of using this type of credit can be expected to be high (Axia, 2010). If unable to pay back debts within the allotted period bank financing may be a preferable alternative to that of trade credit due to the fixed or, variable rate offered by a bank being lower than that of the trade credit interest rate if money is not paid on time. Other options that can be...

...Marketing firms use many sales promotion techniques to attract and retain customers. There are four that are the main ones. They are the use of: (1) discounts and deals (2) increasing industry visibility, (3) price based consumer sales promotion, and (4) attention- getting consumer sales promotion. Discounts and deals can be summarized as enticing customers through some offer that can considered a “good” deal. For example, things like “buy one get one free” offers can be considered in the discounts and deal category of sales promotion techniques. In a way, discounts and deals are promotions where the company selling the product are giving away their product on a structured price or offer where it is different from its normal circumstances. Another example can be a something found in today’s economy where many retailers are offering 20% off discounts on all older car models or anything of that sort. Though these examples are geared to everyone in general, discounts and deals usually can be geared towards trade among wholesalers and retailers. An example for that can be salesmen within the company can receive bonuses if they can push more products out the door. The second category of sales promotion techniques is increasing industry visibility. In short, this technique just makes the product well known in smaller ways and even bigger ways. For example, a company might put their logos on coffee mugs or refrigerator magnets. Many realtors do this, they want to promote their services...

...Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Gen/200 Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Communication plays a very important role in our life. If one were not able to communicate effectively, it would be very difficult for them interact with others, learn, and express their feelings. One of the bigger challenges one may face, is how big of a role personality styles play when it comes to communicating to a group of people. A few of the personality types that will be covered in this material include: giver, thinker, and organizer. Also covered will be the following learning styles: verbal linguistic, intrapersonal, and personal (Axia, 2007). The success of a team environment is determined by the ability of these styles being able to work together. Verbal-linguistic individuals usually love learning new languages, reading, and writing. They are usually very effective at being able to communicate through speech, and are very good at teaching others and explaining things. They are usually best taught through lectures, writing, and reading. A person who possesses interpersonal intelligence, are usually good at relating to and understanding the views of others. They usually communicate well to others in a group setting, and like to ask lots of questions. These individuals enjoy the feedback that they get from questions, and learn easily in a group environment. The final intelligence I will cover is intrapersonal. Intrapersonal individuals in a lot of ways...
