...Synergetic Solutions: An Internal Report Jennifer M. Gribbins University of Phoenix Author Note This report was prepared on February 25, 2013, for Com/530, Communication for Accountants taught by Dr. Sherman. Synergetic Solutions: An Internal Report Synergetic Solutions Inc. is a $6 million company that assembles and resells leading computer brands (University of Phoenix, 2013). With nearly 300 employees in five locations, most possess only basic computer assembly knowledge and trouble shooting skills (University of Phoenix, 2013). Driven by the stagnant system integration market, CEO Harlod Redd made an important strategic decision to focus on the networking solutions business of designing and implementing complex computer networks (University of Phoenix, 2013). Mr. Redd’s lofty goal is to raise networking revenues to 80% of total sales, which are targeted at $12 million in the next nine months (University of Phoenix, 2013). Other quarterly growth targets such as employee involvement, productivity, and absenteeism are based on industry benchmarks (University of Phoenix, 2013). What are the drivers for change? Synergetic Solutions is changing its focus from a computer trading organization to a networking design hot house (University of Phoenix, 2013). In doing so, they are experiencing some huge internal drivers of change. Technological capacity of the current work force is a stumbling block. Most of the staff possesses only basic computer assembling and trouble...

Sales of tangible products (children’s clothing) and revenues from services (spa services) should be stated separately from one another on the income statement.

...Health Administration (OSHA) as 20,000 assaults and 792 homicides in 2005 alone. Clearly, this problem not only has negative effects on the victims of these incidents, but it also affects their families and communities in both financial and psychological ways. It also affects the companies where such incidents take place in multiple ways. It can lead to loss of morale between employees, and can lead to financial losses by the company for compensation to the affected parties. Most importantly, it sometimes has serious legal repercussions, as in the case of the lawsuit against Lockheed Martin in the aftermath of the Doug Williams shooting incident. So what can be done to prevent or reduce the prevalence of workplace violence? Possible Soultions: 1) Installing metal detectors in the workplace. 2) Employee screening process during the hiring process to avoid hiring at-risk individuals 3) Early detection and warning system coupled with psychiatric advisors for employees.

...Brandon Kabbash Professor James Rhea IS 3100 15 November 2012 Case Study 6 1. Read the “Thinking Exponentially” Guide on pages 194-195. Keeping the principles of that guide in mind, list five possible commercial applications for mobile WiMax. Consider applications that necessitate mobility. After reading the case study, I firmly believe that five potential commercial applications of mobile WiMax would be to create a quicker, faster and stronger wireless network, better use and integration of cell phones in automobiles and other forms of transportation, an easier means to start or create networks, bringing wireless internet to more public places, and to improve in video messaging and email. 3. Clearwire went public in March 2007 at an initial price of $27.25. As of April 2010, the price was $8.00. Go Online and research the company to find out what happened to its share price. Explain why its share price has dropped. Clearwire’s share price dropped from $27.25 to $8.00 in 2007 because Clearwire and Sprint merged their wireless broadband unit into sprint’s 4g WiMax network with Clearwire’s WiMax broadband network. 4. AT&T and T-Mobile have endorsed HSDPA, but it does not have the same potential maximum transmission rates. Rather than jump on the WiMax bandwagon, those companies plan to deploy a different technology called Long Term Evolution (LTE). Search the Web for LTE versus WiMax comparisons and compare and contrast these two technologies. Long Term...

...Title: What do Kaldor and Selchow mean by ‘subterranean politics’ in Europe, and what are the implications of their four findings?

...We make contact with the world around us through our five primary senses; these senses are sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. Sense is the pick-up of information from our sensory receptors. For example, our ears pick-up the sound waves the same way our tongue pick-up the taste. When we are first born our five senses are just starting to develop from the first taste of milk, to hearing people speak, or even feeling the touch of our mother’s hand. At the time the baby is born, he/she is not aware of food will be important for them to survive or to be able to distinguish between hot or cold. They will also hear words and sounds but will not understand the meaning of the word. They will not know or understand how important these senses are until they are taught. Now as we grow as adults our senses will have become interwoven with the way we think and use our minds. When we read a book we are using eyes as a tool. When we listen to music, hear the bird’s chirp, our children laughing we are using another sense which is our ears to listen to these wonderful sounds that we enjoy. Our ears also hear sounds that we do not want to hear as well. In order for our senses to work properly our brain is involved with our senses gather the information for our senses to work (Thinking, 2007). When we read we are using our eyes to gather the information and it is being put into our minds for reference. We all count on all of our senses to be accurate, and there certain factors that...

...HRM 500 • Based on the information given but in your own words, explain what approaches to recruiting might be best suited for Apple’s talent acquisition. As Apple prides itself on secrecy and having a high degree of control they would have to create an environment where the employees that they hire undergo through a series of background checks to ensure that they are ethical and moral and that once they are hired by Apple that they would not go to their competitors to disclose any of the trade secrets that make Apple one of the top technology companies in the world. Apple can use the LinkedIn networking site to study candidates past work history and their previous job performance since one of the best predictors of performance is to study the candidate’s past work history. They should look for candidate’s who have an impeccable track record. (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, Wright 2011, p. 153). • Describe the recruiter traits and behaviors that would lead to the most successful recruiting campaign for Apple. Apple can use teams instead of just using one individual recruiter. This would be a more useful approach since with a team there would be less subjective experiences and it would reduce the effect of biases. Apple should use recruiters who embody the company values and ideals. Apple prides itself on innovation, creativity and thinking outside of the box and they should hire recruiters who most closely embody...

...sont partis du constat qu’il était trop facile d’opposer l’approche égaliste antidiscriminatoire au « diversity management » (approche anglo-saxonne). Ils tentent donc de démontrer que la question du genre et du sexe n’est pas forcément distincte de celle de l’orientation sexuelle car les gai et lesbiens ne sont pas forcément confrontés aux même difficultés. Il étoffe cette analyse une distinction goffmanienne qui population stigmatisée et population stigmatisable. Dans la première partie de leur recherche, l’utilité des politiques de management de la diversité, sont mises en avant plutôt que la lutte contre la discrimination des les gays et lesbiens qui veulent se dévoiler sans risque au travail. C’est en voulant trouver des soultions à la source plutôt que des solutions curatives q’ils mettent en évidense le fait la stigmatisation des gais et lesbiens ne vient non pas comme l’articulation entre un sexe biologique et d’une construction sociale et culturelle des rapports hiérarchisés de sexe mais plutôt comme les multiples configurations dominées ou dominantes entre le sexe, les rapports de force entre les sexes et les sexualités (hétéro, homo, bi, trans…) Les études gays et lesbiennes se sont développée en même temps que les études féministes et de genre mais d’un point de vue politique les relations sont plutôt conflictuelles. Par exemple les féministes voient les gays comme des hommes dominants comme les autres et les lesbiennes comme des antiféministes. De leur...
