...I am applying for admission to the Ph.D. program in Business Administration because I want a career in the research and teaching of management. In particular, I am interested in factors that affect the competitive performance of a business concern, and the manner in which changes in technology affect an organisation's structure, long-term business strategy, product development, manufacturing, supply chains, distribution network, information needs and standard systems. In order to gain an appreciation of these and related issues, it is essential for me to have a strong grounding in Economics, Supply Chain Management, and issues connected with Information Technology, as well as gain a General Management perspective. Review para1 I believe that the Ph.D. program in Business Administration (with concentration in Management) would be invaluable in helping me achieve these objectives. It would enable me to channel my quantitative and conceptual skills in analysing business issues and would open up new avenues in research. Subsequent to earning a Ph.D., I would like to apply for a faculty position at a leading university; and investigate issues concerned with technology as it affects organisation strategy, structure and systems.

...Unit 4 and 5 Evaluate the purpose of different types of career guidance interviews Evaluate methodologies to explore the career guidance and development needs of clients Corney and Watts (1998) define information and advice as; ‘providing an immediate response to the needs of clients who present an enquiry or reveal a need that requires more than a straightforward information response. Advice is usually limited to helping with the interpretation of information and with meeting needs already clearly understood by the client…’ Advice and information is therefore concerned with meeting client’s presenting issues relating to information. The OECD (2004:10) definition of guidance is; ‘Career guidance refers to services and activities intended to assist individuals of any age, and at any point of their lives, to make educational, training and occupational choices and to manage their careers’. This reflects the variety of activities that may take place in supporting clients to move forward. Guidance is about helping clients to understand their own needs, set and review career goals, understand any barriers and to produce action plans. Hambly (2008; 16) refers to the iceberg analogy to explain the process of guidance. The top of the iceberg represents the clarifying and meeting of presented needs which is advice and information and the bottom of the iceberg is about exploring additional needs which is guidance. The guidance element may be about exploring high leverage...

...Health Information Technology Career Overview I am here to tell you what I’ve learned in my first 4 weeks of being in Introduction to Health Science class at Kaplan University. The profession I chose is Health Information Technology. Health Information technology is very interesting. I have learned a lot about that I didn’t know even though I do this job on a daily basis. Health information technology (health IT) involves the exchange of health information in an electronic environment. Widespread use of health IT within the health care industry will improve the quality of health care, prevent medical errors, reduce health care costs, increase administrative efficiencies, decrease paperwork, and expand access to affordable health care. It is imperative that the privacy and security of electronic health information be ensured as this information is maintained and transmitted electronically. (US Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.) As a health information technician career opportunities exist in: doctor offices, medical facilities, hospitals, insurance offices, pharmaceutical companies and labs. (Associate of Applied Science in Health Information Technology, n.d.) Health information technicians have multiple duties/task that are done. The following are some of the duties that I’ve learn that health information technicians have to do: * Review patient records for timeliness, completeness, accuracy, and appropriateness of data. * Organize and maintain data...

I chose this career because sonography is what I would like to major in. A Database Administrator was my technology career and an Ethical Hacker was my choice for an IT security profession. I chose these two occupations because I had very little...

... ENG/220 Nora Barber For logistics or not for logistics I should stay in the logistic career field instead of venturing on new career paths. I will review in comparison and contrast the reasons for staying in the logistical field opposed to leaving this career. I like working in the logistical field because the economy needs logistics. The employment opportunities in the logistic field are widespread throughout the country and world. I have eleven years of experience in logistics; so I have knowledge advantage. When I earn my Bachelors degree, it will support and strengthen my logistical experience. For logistics I should continue to pursue a logistic career because the economy relies on logistics. The economy functions on supply and demand. Companies distribute and receive supplies to supply the economy of what it demands. It does not matter what type of business it is: military, agriculture, industrial, manufacturing, human resources, or financial. The logistical behavior never changes. Every supply and demand business model is requisite of logistics. Logistics is the reason for economic growth and technological advances. If it weren’t for the increasing demand for logistics to supply the economy quickly, then it wouldn’t have stimulated the advancement of technology to do so. Michael Porter, a business strategist, inferred that the increased logistical demand made business subsequently competitive. The competition...
