...which are the taxpayers of Lafayette County. In bringing in new software when he was appointed to the office, Chip replaced the outdated program that was being used. While some of the staff did not like switching from the software because it was new, it was much more efficient than the previous one. The previous software required the vehicle information (year, make, model, series, motor, and other options) to be manually entered to reach the assessed value. The new software was much more efficient as it automatically put in the information based on the vehicle VIN. For Chip, this switch was a "no brainer." The new software is on the state approved vendor list, and allows his employees to be more efficient because information is entered faster, and there is less chance for error since the information is decoded by the VIN. This is a benefit to the public, as their property is more accurately assessed. 4. Motivation may be defined as the...

Easy Trash eases life and provides a better environment at the same time. Easy Trash is produced according the trends, demography, economy and nature. According to the secondary research we have done for macro environmental factors, and micro environmental factors such as customer and competitor analysis, Easy Trash fills in a blank and comes up to the market by differentiating itself from all other products that serve in the way Easy Trash does.

The workplace has been faced with a multitude of changes in the past couple of decades and most if not all of these changes are encouraged by the advancement in technology. These advancements have allowed individuals to be much more efficient.
