...Internet recruiting methods compared to traditional recruiting methods: Ramon B Solabi HR/584 12/11/2011 Professor: Schanta Reoaux-Smith BACKGROUND The Internet is a medium to facilitate this transaction of buying and selling labor. The appeal of doing business on the Web is obvious. The Internet brings together buyers and sellers of goods and services and by automating transactions, web markets expand the choices available to buyers, give sellers access to new customers and reduces transaction costs for all the players (Kaplan and Sawhney 2000). This concept can be extended to construction labor services especially from the perspective of the employer as buyer of labor and the employee as seller of labor. E-recruiting or Internet method of recruiting is one of the methods by which HR professionals have available in today staffing. This method of recruiting has several advantages over traditional methods but also has several disadvantages. Companies first began using the Internet as a recruiting tool by posting available jobs on a bulletin board. Using this method, prospective applicants could search for positions in which they were interested and contact employers directly. Usually this contact was made via telephone, fax, or mail. As the use of email became more common some companies accepted applications through email. Job boards are the most common and well known...

...Technology, Cell phone, Texting John W. Siggers COM/220 11/21/10 Ruth Cameron In a 1928 film there was a scene where a woman appears to have a cell phone glued to her ear was, ” in fact”, a time traveler, well that is the thinking of some conspiracy logical thinkers. However, this strange scene from a Charlie Chaplin’s 1928 film, “The Circus” where a woman seems to be telegraphing or rather phoning who looks as an unscrupulously dressed Martha Stewart, is surely a voyager from the vortex of time and space (Sawyer, 2010). How can one little technological devise come to matter so much. Technology, cell phone and texting, have made a major impact to personal lives both positive and negative, and is preferred over in-person human encounters. History over time is defined by new technology used. In each age a significant impact has attributed to the advancement in the civilization of mankind. Humanity has moved from prehistoric times into the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. During modern times, the ages defined as the Industrial Revolution, the age of steam, the steel age, the age of the automobile, and the computer age. With every new age, the people developed and used the new technology could dominate militarily or economically (Technology 2005). Technology has changed the face of modern day civilization. Technology has inundated grade schools colleges and universities...

M06/3/ECONO/HP3/ENG/TZ0/XX Drug companies bring hope for HIV/AIDS sufferers “Industry puts the average cost of developing a new drug at around US$800 million. Were it not for a patent system that rewards companies for risking millions on research, anti-HIV/AIDS drugs would not exist”, said World Trade Organization’s (WTO) director general, Mike Moore. 95 % of individuals worldwide who are infected with the HIV/AIDS virus live in poor countries, with almost no access to life-prolonging treatment because of barriers such as the high cost of drugs. One possible solution to the high cost of drugs seems to be through differential pricing schemes that charge poor countries less than the rich. This form of legal price discrimination is already used for vaccines and contraceptives, with prices as low as 1 % of those in the USA. Major pharmaceutical companies have recently promised to cut prices to cost levels in Africa. The aim is to cut the...

...lies in American news outlets What is propaganda? How is propaganda perpetrated through the media and especially in media broadcasting American news? Propaganda is some sort of action based on communication that is made purposely for the intention of influencing opinion as well as the thinking of a specific community so that conflict or disagreements may arise. In most cases propaganda happens through media since it’s the most common place where individuals pay attention to and it normally end up influencing the opinions of so many people. A very good example is how the news outlets in America spread lies and propaganda based on some of the most crucial situations with the aim of protecting specific famous individuals (Fawcett 2007). This paper will show and analyze presence of propaganda in some of the major news outlets in America, the reasons they do this as well as what the opinion of the public. For so many years almost all the news outlets in America have been on the fore front spreading lies and propaganda. Some of the executives, senior producers and the executive producers know what the media is doing and it is under their consent that such this happens. They are involved in all the activities of the news outlets and because they tend to be biased, they use the media to spread lies and propaganda in the American news outlets. (endthelie.com) This has led to so many Americans questioning the integrity and reliability of these news outlets as much as they expected accurate...

...age of ten they are as exposed and liable to the full weight of the law the same as any adult. The UK currently has the lowest minimum age of criminal responsibility (except Scotland at 8 but cannot be prosecuted until 12) within the European Union. This places the UK significantly below the average of 14 years old. There seems to be little justification for this deviance from the norm in regards to the minimum age of responsibility in the UK and there have been considerable publications pushing for the UK to raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility in the last decade, providing substantial evidence in favour of doing so. The evidence supporting the need to raise this minimum age can be found not only in psychology and scientific research regarding the brain development of youth and autonomy of children at this age, but also the severe social implications of criminalizing our youth. In order to argue that the minimum age of criminal responsibility (MACR) should be raised it will be necessary to identify and evaluate this evidence, as well as identifying the issues that having a low MACR brings. This essay will first review the history of the MACR and discuss the effect of abolishing the doctrine of Doli Incapax on youth offenders, before presenting the neurological evidence regarding the lack of development that has taken place in a child’s brain by the age of ten. The severely detrimental social, psychological and physiological effects of...

...Chapter 1 Case Study: Harmonix Embrace Your Inner Rock Star Little more than three years ago, you had probably never heard of Harmonix. In 2005, the video game design studio released Guitar Hero, which subsequently became the fastest video game in history to top $1 billion in North American sales. The game concept focuses around a plastic guitar-shaped controller. Players press colored buttons along the guitar neck to match a series of dots that scroll down the TV in time with music from a famous rock tune, such as the Ramones’ “I Wanna Be Sedated” and Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water.” Players score points based on their accuracy. In November 2007, Harmonix released Rock Band, adding drums, vocals, and bass guitar options to the game. Rock Band has sold over 3.5 million units with a $169 price tag (most video games retail at $50 to $60). In 2006, Harmonix’s founders sold the company to Viacom for $175 million, maintaining their operational autonomy while providing them greater budgets for product development and licensing music for their games. Harmonix’s success, however, did not come overnight. The company was originally founded by Alex Rigopulos and Eran Egozy in 1995, focused around some demo software they had created in grad school and a company vision of providing a way for people without much musical training or talent to experience the joy of playing and creating music. The founders believed that if people had the opportunity to create their own music, they would jump...

...International Review of Business Research Papers Vol. 4 No.1 January 2008 Pp.68-84 Lessons from Jeepney Industry in the Philippines Candy Lim Chiu* This paper reports on the empirical investigation of the perspective of jeepney industry based on their actual experiences in the Philippines. These viewpoints were elicited during face to face, structured interviews lasting between 1.5 to 3 hours. The industry are experiencing great uncertainty with respect to long-term goals especially if what is currently happening is unstable, uncertainties about the magnitude of jeepneys in the market, the cost and benefits, but stakeholders are willing to be involved in promoting the industry to its maximum potentials. There appear to be few articulated and carefully thought-out development strategies nor is there much evidence of internal business processes being reengineered to accommodate the requirements of jeepney presence. The objective of the study is to examine what are the problems, benefits and what might be done to alleviate the jeepney industry in the country. Field of Study: Business, Entrepreneurship, Jeepney Industry and Transport 1. Introduction The jeepney culture that remains alive for five decades are no longer tenable. The ending of the age of the jeepney undoubtedly marks a significant turning point in the Philippines historical development. Jeepney industry was considered inappropriate to advanced technological systems, they were even regarded as an...
