...1. What is a social enterprise? Social enterprises are private organisations that are run along business lines, but where any profits are reinvested into the community, or into social or environmental projects 2. How do the aims of a social enterprise differ from those of a PLC? Examples of social enterprises include cooperatives, credit unions and housing associations. These businesses are run like any other commercial business however all profits earned by the business go back to the business to help achieve its social or environmental objectives. The aims of social enterprise are to achieve its social or environmental goals that have been set out. The aims of a plc are different in the sense that they have set out targets of which they need to achieve to make `money (profit) for the company. 3. What happens to the profits made by the Fifteen Foundation? All profits generated by the restaurant go straight back into the scheme to help train other disadvantaged young people 4. Explain the difference between an aim and an objective. A business aim is the goal set out for the business to achieve, the business objective is when the business will achieve the targets set out and how long it will take them to so. 5.

...Unit 9 Assignment Unit 9 Assignment Edmon Manguda March 4, 2014 AB140: Introduction to Management The most concerning issue that Dalman and Lei face is the feeling of criticalness with respect to their innovative headway. Dalman and Lei are under a great deal of weight to embrace this new innovation and execute it in an exceptionally constrained measure of time. The expansion in clients has left Sandwich Blitz just about injured. Their representatives are unable to legitimately satisfy the greater part of the requests coming in which thus is reflecting contrarily upon their business. The greater part of the slips that are continuously made will in the long run their business into the ground. Clients now need a quality item and an extraordinary administration experience. Without these two things, clients will no more decide to visit Sandwich Blitz. The other territory of concern is the measure of help Dalman and Lei need from the directors. Correspondence is going to have gigantic impact in this accomplishment of this new e-client request framework. Without compelling correspondence between Upper-Management, Middle-Management, Front-Line Workers, and the innovation group this new program will come up short beyond any doubt. Dear Management Team, We here at Sandwich Blitz, Inc. are confronted with various issues. We have observed the negative input we have been appropriating. We are completely attentive to the expanding measure of requests being set and how...

...Business management (1) Georgia Lazenby believes a current liability is a debt that can be expected to be paid in one year. Is Georgia correct? Explain. Yes Georgia is correct. A current liability is a debt that a company reasonably expects to pay (1) from existing current assets or through the creation of other current liabilities, and (2) within one year or the operating cycle; whichever is longer (Kimmel, 2007). (7) What are long-term liabilities? Give two examples. What is a bond? Long-term liabilities are obligations that a company expects to pay after one year (Kimmel, 2007). Property, plants, and equipment are examples of long term liabilities. Bonds are a form of interest-bearing note payable issued by corporations, universities, and governmental agencies (Kimmel, 2007). (8) Contrast these types of bonds: (a) Secured and unsecured. (b) Convertible and callable. Secured bonds are bonds that have specific assets of the issuer pledged as collateral. Unsecured bonds are bonds that are issued against the general credit of the borrower. Large corporations with good credit ratings use unsecured bonds extensively (Kimmel, 2007). Bonds that can be converted into common stock at the bondholder’s option are convertible bonds. Bonds that the issuing company can retire at a stated dollar amount prior to maturity are callable bonds. Convertible bonds have features that are attractive both to bondholders and to the issuer (Kimmel, 2007). (19) Valentin Zukovsky...

In this case the creditor is filing because the partnership stop making payments and now is in debt over $380,000.

Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? I chose the proposal which was posted on September 17, 2010 by the agency of HHS. HHA also known as Unites States Department of Health and Human Services. The subject of proposed regulation is “National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program: Revisions to the Vaccine Injury Table”. HHS is working to protect the health of America. I think as a person Health is the first thing you should one should take care. That is why; I wanted to choose regulations from the HHA agency. And the purpose of selecting this specific regulation is because of our new generations. It is our duty to protect the health of our children. As a parent, we should be aware of all the side effects of vaccines. We are not doctors or scientists. It is not possible for us to know the technical terms of all the effects and of vaccines. These changes on the table will help us to understand. 2. Describe the proposal/change. The Secretary of HHA is proposing to change the Vaccine Injury Table. The change will create distinct and separate listings for Hepatitis A, Trivalent Influenza, Meningococcal and Human Papillomavirus Vaccines.

...In this assignment I will present internal business information using three types of communication methods which are appropriate to a user’s needs. The three types of methods I have chosen have chosen are written, on screen multimedia presentation and verbal presentations, within this task I will use Asda as my template to the different communications I will write about. Asda is one of the leading supermarkets in the U.K that sells groceries, electrical equipment, general home appliances, toys and clothing. A leading chain like Asda will use different methods of sharing internal business information to its staff and the hierarchy of the business. Written Communication – This involves any type of interaction that makes a user use the form of written word. It is one of the most common types of communication within a business. Types of written communication involve reports, letters, instructions, agreements, memos and policies. Written communication is the most commonly used when detailed instructions are required, when something specific needs to be documented or when a person is too far away to verbally communicate with them. Asda uses this type of communication to pass information or notices to the hierarchy part of the company or even to customers. It is appropriate to the user’s needs because written communication is precise and on a document. It allows an easy method of contact between parts of the business which allows communication without hassle. On-screen multimedia...

(Schatz 38) כלומר, השינוי שחל בז'אנריים קולנועיים לאורך השנים, נובע מהרצון והצורך של הקהל להתפתח. הצופה מחפש מורכבות בסרט, גם מבחינה ויזואלית וגם מבחינה תמטית. החברה מתפתחת ומשתנה ואיתה ביחד גם הקולנוע. הצופה מצפה שיאתגרו אותו ושיחדשו לו גם אם מדובר בסרטים באותו הז'אנר, שקו העלילה הכללי כמעט תמיד זהה. הערפד הופיע לראשונה בסרטו של פרידריך וילהלם מורנאו (Murnao), נוספרטו: סימפוניית האימה (Nosferatu: eine Symphonie des Grauens) בשנת 1922. סרט זה עיצב כמה מהמוסכמות הבולטות של ז'אנר סרטי האימה וז'אנר סרטי הערפד בפרט. בסרט זה ניתן לראות בבירור את הדמיון בין דמותו של הערפד לקריקטורות קלאסיות של יהודים בתקופה שקדמה למחה"ע השניה, התנהגותו הזרה והמוזרה של הערפד בסרט מחזקת את הדימוי. חיים בראשית, במאמרו "ז'אנר הערפד: סימונו של האחר באמצעות הדם" טוען שהערפד מייצג בעיקר את היהודים אך גם את החלשים האחרים שקיימים בחברה. הערפד של מורנאו הוא רשע ואכזרי...

...The FSEU Director of Human Resources states several reasons why the State should not be able to privatize the Department of Transportation Information Systems management department. After analyzing this passage and applying critical thinking, I am able to breakdown the eleven steps used in the book “Asking the Right Questions. To an average thinker, there is ample information within this document that could be used to agree with Ms. Glenn’s’ point of view. To a critical thinker, the information and reasoning must be analyzed as to whether it is considered valid enough to call a “reason”. This document is a perceptive issue because it discusses whether or not something should be opposed, and if this matter is considered right or wrong. Just because this document is a perceptive issue, it does not mean that there are not descriptive assumptions associated. The first step in deciding to agree with the author’s argument is to locate the issue and then find the conclusion. The conclusion in any article, essay or document, is the premise to any other information provided. All facts and reasoning should be based off the conclusion. In finding the conclusion a critical thinker must ask what is Ms. Barbara Glenn trying to prove and what is the main issue? She stated “We must oppose to this act now or we do a disservice to our members and will regret it later.” ( ) this statement helps me narrow down the main issue which leads me to the conclusion. Ms. Glenn is stating a demand which...
