...this paper is to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of recruitment media. Abstract/Executive Summary: The purpose of this analysis is to suggest several management processes that contribute to the escalation of organizational accidents. These are induced from an analysis of a plane crash in which three people were killed. The processes include: lapse of coordination across multiple agencies, a rush to judgment by authorities and the neglect of basic employee selection and training standards. Serious accidents can have origins in humble beginnings. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of recruitment media. Many people use media today to recruit new employees. The advantages are: a better variety of candidates for jobs, The disadvantages are: Outline I. The Accident at Great Bear. This section is a brief recap of the accident itself, i.e., who was involved and what happened. II. Rethinking Accident Causes. This section provides definitions for latent and proximal accident causes. Research by Karl Weick and James Reason is described here. III. Rethinking the Critical Period. This section examines other similar disasters and describes what led to the crisis. The World Trade Center, Hurricane Katina, Herald of Free Enterprise, Estonia, and the West Virginia Sago Mine disaster are all described. IV. Failures in the Great Bear Wilderness Disaster. This section identifies three possible failures that...

...Research and Development’s Solar section brought about by absence of organizational value system? Objectives: 1. To be able to establish camaraderie and rapport among employees of the center. 2. To be able to continue to attract the best and brightest employees. II. Areas of consideration 1. Value system Value system is a set of ethical values and measures used for the purpose of ethical or ideological integrity. Organizational value systems are standards of behaviors that govern individual employee behavior within an organization. A personal value system on the other hand is a set of principles or ideals that drive or guide a person’s behavior. Absence of organizational value system encourages employees to pursue behaviors in line with their personal value system, which may not be the values the organization wants to develop. CERD lacks organizational value system. Its absence encouraged some women employees to develop exclusive groupings. It abetted unfair practice of exclusively grabbing training opportunities abroad by some management and training section personnel, curtailing equal opportunity and personal ambitions and career growth of other employees like Sylvia Gregorio. Other indicators include frequent discussions of male engineers’ drinking sessions, girls and disco prompting Sylvia Gregorio to lament that regular staff appears more intellectual than the engineers. There is also that gender bias, at least within the Solar section, where jobs usually involves...

...Unit 31: Fashion Retailing M1: to achieve the merit analyse your findings My two retailers that I have chosen are Primark, which are a department store, and JD sports which are a franchise. These two retailers have both their advantages and disadvantages individually as retailers and it is my task to explain and point out these advantages and disadvantages. Primark is a department store, a department store characteristic features include * Large-scale retail stores * More than one department under one roof * Each department specialises in a particular kind of trade * They are located in the important central places of the big cities They follow a basic principal; it is easier to sell more goods to the same customers if a large variety of goods are presented than to sell the same kind of goods to many customers, Primark follows this principal acting as universal suppliers. Advantages of department stores like Primark: Shopping convenience: They allow customers to purchase all their goods under one roof instead of purchases different goods from different stores, this is a convenience to both customers and Primark as it saves the customers time and saves Primark time and labour Wide choice: The wide choice of goods Primark supplies allows customers to select goods of their liking from large stock of goods of different qualities like brands, design, colours, styles etc. Economies of large scale: Departmental stores, being large-scale establishments...

...Given how demanding pregnancy and birth is on the body and mind, it should come as no surprise that medicine has come a long way in making pregnancy easier, quicker, and less painful. Many women have found these methods to be a wonderful way to give birth. Spinal epidurals are used for pain relief, while cesarean sections to get the baby out quick and (generally) painless barring any complications. These have saved many women tremendous amounts of pain, and have saved the lives of many babies and mothers due to complications in natural birth. It should be no wonder, though, that there are those on each side of the argument, whether to give birth naturally or with medical intervention, making an argument as to why their method is the best. Both methods do have their particular advantages and disadvantages. The question remains, who is right? Is anyone right? Can there be a middle ground? There are several questions that arise when asking the question, which is why I will be breaking down both sides of the argument. I will present research on both ends of the subject going over certain advantages and disadvantages that come along with each. These advantages and disadvantages can be felt by both the mother and the child (father too), so we must find a way to draw a line in the sand, if there is one to be found. This tends to be a very sensitive and overly emotional topic, so...

...financing, debt financing, which is borrowing from a lender and equity financing, which is selling of stocks to investors. It would be our recommendation as a start-up corporation to utilize both forms of financing to raise your capital while keeping debt financing to the minimum. In reaching this conclusion we considered the advantages and disadvantages, listed below, of debt financing versus equity financing. We reviewed the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) approach on this matter and in consideration of code section 385 which is used to determine if the financing is debt or equity. The IRS may re-characterize debt financing to equity financing under this code section based on the circumstances of the financing (Antebi & Krauthamer, 2014). Advantages of Debt Financing | Disadvantages of Debt Financing | Interest paid is a deductible expense | Reduced cash flow due to monthly payment | Shareholders do not recognize income | Shareholders may recognizes gain | Corporation maintains control of Company | Personal Guarantees | (Pope, Rupert, & Anderson, 2015) Advantages of Equity Financing | Disadvantages of Equity Financing | A 70%, 80%, or 100% dividends received deductions are available to shareholders. | Dividends are not deductible to the corporation | A shareholder can...

...Dentsply International and Market Power Ashley Davis DeVry University Dentsply International and Market Power The Congress passed antitrust laws in effort to protect competition in the market, as well as consumers whom are the ultimate recipients in the market (Novak, 2007). The case that will be discussed in this paper will be a company that was found guilty of violating section 2 of the Sherman Act, which focuses on people that are trying to monopolize the market for their own benefit, or someone that is trying to get complete control within an area of the economy. With the Sherman Antitrust Act in place, monopolization is very illegal and the act tries to prevent it from happening and protect competitors in the market (Novak, 2007). Dentsply International is a company that makes dental products, but their main product sold is false teeth. The company sells product in over 100 countries, so it is a very large company. The company sells its products to dealers, who then sell the false teeth and other products to dental labs. These labs then distribute the product to dentists with the supplies they need. If you don't include false teeth, the company supplies buyers with millions of dollars of products and dominated the artificial teeth market since they had close to 80 percent of the market share at the time they were being sued (Novak, 2007). Dentsply told their dealers that they had tell sell their supplies and deal primarily with them. When the Dentsply did that...
