...Organizational Structure of Twitter and Facebook Twitter and Facebook are social networking sites and have a strong organizational structure that is appropriate for their particular product; social media. Twitter and Facebook may seem like a simple site that does not require a structure to operate. To the inexperienced eye it may appear as though Twitter is nothing more than chatting through posts, or tweets. Tweets are text-based quotes of up to 140 characters and are posted on the user’s profile page (Shetty, 2010). Millions of people worldwide use Twitter and Facebook and organizations use them to advertise and promote their services. Twitter allows users to follow other users by receiving their tweets. Facebook has a similar set up where the user has friends who see the user’s posts. Twitter launched in 2006 and Facebook in 2004. Both are now the most popular social networking sites. A strong organizational structure has allowed Twitter and Facebook to grow and remain strong in a competitive market place where the product is your personal life on display. Twitter and Facebook have developed their organizational structure to become one of the most used social-networking sites in the world today. This spot was previously held by MySpace. MySpace was used mainly by individuals to chat with each other and post pictures and other personal information. Businesses never really adapted to MySpace like they have with Twitter and Facebook. For this reason advertising...

...1. THE SIX AGES OF THE CHURCH 1. The First Age: The Beginnings of the Jesus Movement (30-325) 1. Growth: the first age is unique – created something absolutely new. The Apostolic Age is the initial phase with main figures Peter & Paul (Acts of the Apostles). They took the revolutionary step from Jewish to Gentile environment. They also created communities to incorporate the converts into a new religious family which gradually developed structures to the identity of real society. 2. Achievements: In the 2nd & 3rd cen, Christianity succeeded in penetrating the dominant Roman-Hellenistic culture. Although, the Church is subjected to persecutions, she nevertheless became the greatest creative force in the culture of the Roman world. Important figures & events: 1. The blood of the Martyrs – Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp of Smyrna & Justin Martyr. 2. The great teachers – Irenaeus, Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria, Origen and Cyprian (research on this…) who defended the faith against heresies, e.g., Gnosticism. 3. Development of an alternative form of discipleship thru life of renunciation & contemplation (monks of the desert in Egypt). 4. Retreat: the phase of cultural retreat & disintegration hardly exists in the first age. However, Emperor Diocletian (d 305) started a general persecution but it ended up in the Church’s triumph. 1. The Second Age: The Christian Empire (325-640) 1. Growth: The “conversion” of Emperor Constantine (312) and the foundation of the new capital of the Christian...

...FINANCE AND FINANCIAL MARKETS 3,6 Types of financial intermediaries Financial institutions are like most other businesses in that they exist to make a profit and this is maximized by minimizing their costs and maximizing their revenue. Like most firms they can only survive if they design and sell products and services that can meet demand at a reasonable profit level. We now proceed to look at some of the key types of financial institutions that are involved in the process of financial intermediation; that is, the transfer of funds between surplus and deficit agents. We distinguish between deposit-accepting institutions, such as banks and savings institutions, and other types of financial intermediaries, such as insurance companies, mutual funds/unit trusts, pension funds, hedge funds and private equity and the like. 3.7 deposit institution an institution such as a bank or savings institution that accepts cash deposits Deposit institutions Deposit institutions accept deposits from economic agents. These funds become their liabilities which they then on-lend to make direct loans or investments, which become their assets. Deposit-taking institutions aim to make a profit in the way of 'spread income' between the cost of the deposits that they accept and other sources of funding, and the return that they receive on their investment portfolio in the way of loans, equity stakes and other investments. Examples of deposit institutions include commercial banks,...
