... Introduction According to Aspray, Mayadas, & Vardi (2006) globalization has resulted in billions of people joining the free-market world, and dozens of countries joining the World Trade Organization. This trend has produced a world where not only goods are globally tradable, but so is labor, which can be sent over a wire rather than physically relocated. Vales (2007) stated that the future may be hard to predict, but may not be hard to prepare for. Insurers are in close encounter with the tough new business, investment and regulatory environments that are emerging from the financial crisis. The article continued to state that the insurance industry however, also faces far broader challenges. Demographic shifts, the rise in power of the emerging markets and changing customer behavior will all help shape the sector’s longer term future. Insurers who can anticipate and plan for change can create their own future. Others who are “fast followers” will need to be agile enough to recognize the leaders and adopt similar strategies. White, (2009) wrote that many factors are contributing to the increasing diversity in the workplace, factors such as the rising numbers of immigrants, mergers or joint ventures with companies in other countries, the rising use of temps and contract workers, and the increasing globalization of business are a few of the forces making the workforce more diverse on a daily basis. White (2009) continue to state...

...define not only the product, but also the target audience for that product. This market needs to be researched, understood, and then targeted to gain an understanding and feedback on how the product would be received by the consumers. In this paper, we will take a detailed look at a target market for the product that I intend to produce, and how it will appeal to the consumer market. In addition, we will look at the characteristics of the target market, and those specific things that will be important in defining the go to market strategy for my new product. Finally, I will also make recommendations on the best methods of conducting my research, and how these will lead to steps that will allow me to bring the product from concept to commercialization. Target Market When looking at the target market for this new product, I am going to be looking at multiple factors. I need to define the problem I am going to solve, look at current information available around the problem that I am trying to solve, find data to support the resolution I am after, transform that raw data into something that makes sense, and then move forward with solving for the problem. The first step in this process is often the most important. By defining the problem, a lot of times this leads to a solution by leading to features that the new product needs, who would be interested in the product, etc. With the new product that I am looking to launch, the Nexus 9000 series switch, the problem being defined is that...

...sustainability in their battery life. Unlike ChargeBite or Juice Pack Air Case, we provide a superior service at a lower price, targeting an infinite market of potential consumers. My venture aims to solve issues related to mobile battery usage, acknowledged by the fact that society has become increasingly dependent on the capabilities of our particular smartphone carriers. The problem I aim to address can be categorized as an economically friendly alternative to purchasing expensive portable chargers as well as the convenience of having a wireless charging application in the palm of your hand. The number of individuals impacted pertains to anyone with a smartphone. According to comScore, an American Internet analytics company that provides marketing data and analytics to many of the world's largest enterprises, agencies, and publishers, the United States holds nearly 160 million smartphone users. In addition, over 30% of smartphone users own a supplemental charging device. These chargers range from $25 up to $100. My application aims to sell for $5 in the App Store, exhibiting a tremendously cost-saving alternative to competitor products. My solution is to provide customers with a subtle and simplistic application that allows battery sharing between multiple mobile devices. The true value delivered to my customers can be seen through the elimination of stress and other personal complications that tend to arise when our mobile power is low or completely diminished.

...Count: 2086 CIS11 Information Methods Assignment 1 CIS11 Information Methods Assignment 1 Abstract This report outlines the degree to which the increasing digitisation on society is enabling a rise in connectivity amongst peoples, community and society as has never before been seen in any other era. The below argument focuses on the use of social media and online communities as a growing form of interconnectedness and the shift in the traditional form of communication. Looking further into the benefits of digitisation on our lives age demographics of the young and older generation as well as the change in the traditional work place model, shows differences in the approach and application of connecting but the overall incorporation of information communication technology in communicating with people and society. Introduction The digitisation of society occurred almost overnight with information communication technologies integrating itself into almost every facet of daily life. We wake up to the alarm that was set on our iPhone to the tune we downloaded from iTunes. Cars with GPS, iPod connectivity and Bluetooth take us to work where we sit down at a computer for the next eight hours. Society has accepted that the way the human race conducts itself on a micro level has changed over the last couple decades; it has embraced this movement as a development. So, why can our daily routines be surrounded by technology but our connectivity to people and information remain the same?...

...The Impact of Stress on a Developing Child Rowena G. Henderson Liberty University References Frances S. Chen, Julian Schmitz, Gregor Domes, Brunna Tuschen-Caffier, Markus Heinrichs, Effects of acute social stress on emotion processing in children, Psychoneuroendocrinology, Volume 40, February 2014, Pages 91-95, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.psyneuen.2013.11.003. Summary- This article explores the question of how stress impacts a child’s emotional development. The study investigated the effect of stress on children’s processing of facial expressions of emotion. The boys who went through the stress procedure were more likely to categorize angry faces as fear versus the boys who were tested with a controlled condition. The conclusion was that decreased sensitivity to anger cues following a stressful experience could represent a coping mechanism. And an increased level of sensitivity to fear cues could represent a child’s own emotional state or an interpretation of another’s emotional state. Strengths and Weaknesses- The study does a great job of breaking down each step and describing the different parts of the study. The weakness of the study is not going into detail how or why the participants were chosen. It does not seem like there was a lot of variety in the demographics of the participants. Evaluation- I think it was a good study but it didn’t...

...all my life. George Clooney was my dream doctor, and he still is today. But as I grew older and relised that my day dreams may never come true, I still remained interested in healthcare. However, I did make the critical reaslation that I detest blood and anything to do with it. However, I still enjoy learning and working in the healthcare field, on the technological side. I how that when I achieve my degree that I will be able to work some day in the CDC. In that regards, what I have always found most interesting, in the history of health care, is the development of the vaccinations and other for diseases. I also am interested in programs like the Center for the Control of Disease and Prevention (CDC) which was founded in 1946. As well as hospice programs, I am currently volunteering at a local hospice and enjoy it very much. As for the vaccinations, what interested was a long term interest in personal health. I have always been a rather healthy person, and rarely ever do I get sick. So when I did, I always wanted to know why I was sick. I read quite a bit about different illness and what was being done to prevent them. I would always read about the early 19th and 20th centuries. About, how many people died from contaminated water and food, inadequate living situations and sewage disposal. How doctors and nurse pioneer our modern standard of living, and how vaccinations for many deadly diseases has all but wiped them from the face of the planet. The biggest impact in my mind...
