...activities and the carers duty of care. Social care and health policies are encouraging residents to increase their independence by being involved in the wider society such as leisure and work. It should be noted that it is impossible to eliminate risk completely, however minimising and being prepared for risk by preventative action. Supporting people to live independently by taking part of their lives means accepting that there are risks that cant be avoided but can be prepared for. Explain why individuals may have been discouraged or prevented from taking risks, For some services, approaches to risk have been a problem because they have been concerned with avoiding potentially harmful situations for the service user and staff. People need to take risk to achieve things on their own merit, but there are people who should support them but will discourage them from taking risks because of perceived perceptions of the persons limitations. Risk taking can have benefits for the individual as it will enable them to do things most...

But sales in Asia were stagnant. Competing with beer brands that capitalised on a status-driven lifestyle, Corona had to create distinction in a same-same category to gain share of throat. Corona's laid-back approach to life did not naturally resonate with local consumers. On top of that, Corona faced other challenges: limited distribution network, comparatively smaller marketing budgets, and a price of entry three times higher than the industry average. It was time to make Corona's causal...

...analysis and it emphasises the monitoring and evaluating of external opportunities and threats in light of a corporation´s strengths and weaknesses (Wheelen and Hunger, 2006; Saloner et al., 2001). Objective The objective of this report is to describe, analyse and discuss advantages and disadvantages of a concept named SWOT which is an acronym for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. These concepts are frequently used as tools for analyzing the external environment of an organisation as well as the internal factors that constitutes its structure (Wheelen and Hunger, 2006). History SWOT analysis came from a research conducted at Stanford Research Institute in the 1960´s. The creation of the SWOT analysis comes from the need to find out why corporate planning failed. The research was funded by the fortune 500 companies to find out what could be done about this. Albert Humphrey together with his team began testing this tool and it suddenly became a corporate planning trend, which seemed to appear first at Du Pont in 1949 (Morrison, 2009; Friesner, T.,2000). They created this model by asking what is good and bad about the present and the future. “What is good in the present is Satisfactory, good in the future is an Opportunity; bad in the present is a Fault and bad in the future is a Threat” (Morrison, 2009). This was called the SOFT analysis. When this was presented to Urick and Orr in 1964 at a Seminar in Zurich, they changed the F...

...Evaluate the impact that Entrepreneurial Networks will have on the Novice Nascent Entrepreneur setting up Business for the first time Introduction The extent to which entrepreneurial networking has an impact on the nascent entrepreneur is an interesting hypothesis. There is evidence to suggest that the nascent entrepreneur is reliant on the use of networking, yet other evidence states that the success of this type of entrepreneur stems from contrary elements. "Entrepreneurial networks provide a framework for processes aiming at organising resources according to opportunities" (Johannisson & Monsted 1997, p109). This definition clearly states what the use of entrepreneurial networking sets out to do, and is supported by the assumption that networking is the "acquisition of entrepreneurial skills" (Martinez & Aldrich, 2011, p7). This report sets out to assess the impact of which entrepreneurial networking has on the nascent entrepreneur: "Individuals who are in the process of starting up new ventures" (Renko, 2012, p1045). In the following report, an investigation as to what classification of impact that entrepreneurial networking has on the entrepreneur will be assessed. Based on academic research, a definitive conclusion will be made and a judgement of the usefulness and level of impact these networks have will be assessed throughout. The report will take into account the difference between academic opinions, and note that many academics believe that entrepreneurial...

...conversations and social construction, and the role of conversations within change. In discussing these definitions and examining the role of conversations within organisational change, we will be able to highlight fictions within the change process and identify methods of negating them. UNDERSTANDING ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE The definition of change is one that has been discussed and debated by philosophers throughout the ages. An ancient criterion of change states that an object, x, changes if and only if there are distinct times, t and t’, and property p, such that x has p at t and fails to have p at t’, or vice versa (Lombard, 1978, p. 63). This criterion looks at change in the widest sense. To understand organisational change, we need look deeper into what creates change, how the change affects individuals and an organisation, and how to successfully navigate the issues associated with change within an organisation. To successfully understand organisational change, we use one of two broad modes: the rationalist and social/relational modes. Within the rationalist approach, each element is considered...

...Critically assess the claim that juvenile delinquency was legislated into existence in the nineteenth century. After a few preliminary comments contextualising the claim, I will; 1. Explore the changes in Legislation and Law enforcement agencies in the early to mid-nineteenth century focusing on the ways in which they contributed to the development of the concept of ‘juvenile delinquency’. 2. Consider the arguments of nineteenth century social investigators and reformers and their influence both on the legislative process and on the construction of the concept of juvenile delinquency. 3. Finally and by way of a conclusion, briefly discuss the broader social economic and political context of nineteenth century reforms in order to suggest that whilst legislation is important, the claim in the question overstates its significance. The idea that there can be a juvenile delinquent is impossible without the concept of childhood as a distinct phase of individual growth and development. ‘Childhood’ has become a universal category; a status which affords particular rights, for example those outlined in agreements between states such as the universal declaration of the rights of the child. This recognition of the special status of ‘childhood’ is a social construct (Hendrick, 2002). We may take our understanding of what it is to be a child for granted as ‘natural’ but it is not until the late middle ages that a period and morality of childhood began to be distinguished...
