...Marxist Analysis of Orientation: Within the Office Walls Through the sayings of Marx you are bound by the limitations of your social standing along with the level of your working class. As a new employee at the office you are shown the dos and don’ts of the floor that you are on restricted to what movements or actions you execute to the working environment around you. Being part of the middle class labor force you get introduced to the atmosphere and given insight to the people around you. It shows how big an effect capitalism impacts what you do in the office and how your personal benefits are stripped away from you to the limitations of what you can do within the given environment. At the very start you are shown your area of work. “Those are the offices and these are the cubicles. That’s my cubicle there, and this is your cubicle.” Furthermore your personal benefits of your life outside of the office are stripped away “This is your phone. Never answer your phone. Let the Voicemail System answer it. This is your Voicemail System Manual. There are no personal phone calls allowed.” From the bat you are alienated from the people around you within the workplace cubicles that separate each laboring individual from each other. Though everyone is nearby you are limited to that small cubicle to yourself shut out from the fellow workers near you. Apart from this you have been given strict instructions that personal calls or even answering your phone is forbidden. This further...

...Film Analysis „Outsourced (2006) Introduction In the film “Outsourced” Todd Anderson works as a call-centre manager, also called order fulfilment manager with the Seattle based company „Western Novality“. As they outsource their office to Gharapuri, India Mr Anderson has to travel there and train his replacement. During the film there are a lot of misunderstanding concerning cultural differences. As the film goes on Mr Anderson starts to accept the Indian culture and the Indian worker engage more in the American culture. In this paper I am introducing two scenes from the film that hold misunderstanding and analyse and explain them. „The missing glass“ and office scenes As we first see the office of Mr Anderson in Seattle (00:58) we can monitor that each worker has his own big cubicle, which offers a lot of private space and the boss Dave has his own closed office with even more space for private enclosure (01:14-03:38). Compared to the Indian office we can observe that the employers have a lot less space for themselves and they interact with each other more frequently and also enjoy doing that (18:47). Even the office of the supervisor lacks privacy because of the missing glass (19:06-19:08). As a recurring motive we see Mr Anderson making comments about the missing glass. First he askes nicely when the glass is coming and Puro, his replacement he has to train answers „presently“ (25:48-25:54). At another occasion Mr Anderson askes again when the glass is coming and...

...5 Ways Salons use Point of Sale Systems to 'Blow Out' Sales My stylist Veronica is amazing. Not only is she absolutely gorgeous on the inside and out, but she is always right on trend. She has mastered ombre, balayage, Brazilian blowouts, and beachy waves. Not only that, but she is also on the cutting edge of business. She doesn’t just rent a chair like many stylists do; she is part of a co-op that rents actual mini-rooms where each stylist has their own cubicle-like station complete with private sink and products for sale. In addition, you won’t find a receptionist on site. Each person runs their micro-salon (complete with payments and appointments) from their iPad. Crazy, huh? Now I know that this is the exception and not the norm to have this type of business model for a salon, but it’s amazing how far technology has come. So how can salon point of sale (POS) software help to grow your business? 1. Simplify Appointment Scheduling – Throw out that old appointment book if you haven’t already! With new software you can schedule appointments, prevent double bookings, block out specific amounts of time based on the procedures being done, setup client reminders, and have your customer’s contact information all at your fingertips. 2. Cater to Your Best Customers – Business is based on relationships and the more information you have about your clients the better. Keep track of their hair color preference, products purchased, or chemical treatment sensitivities to optimize...

After reading this case, I came up with a couple tangible assets that Pixar has that separates them from the ordinary animation studio companies and also sets them to be at such a high standard. One tangible assets that plays a huge role is the Pixar University. Steve Jobs wanted to continue Pixar’s legacy of strong creative animations and input that with the movies that Disney has come up.

...“Kahlil Gibran, in “The Prophet,” wrote: “Love is work made visible.” Whether he meant that love is work or that work is the expression of love, it’s a good reminder that our work and the place where we do that work is a huge and important part of our lives”. (http://jessarch.wordpress.com/2012/10/12/thesis-statement/). What are the benefits, features, and other aspects of office of the future? Some of the benefits, features, and other aspects of a virtual office that I want to take a look at are: the definition of a virtual office, technology and it’s role, people’s view of the future office, Microsoft’s view, an effective workspace, the flexibility of a virtual office, and what you might find/see in your office of the future. “A virtual office is a combination of off-site live communication and address services that allow users to reduce traditional office costs while maintaining business professionalism.[1] Frequently the term is confused with “office business centers” or “executive suites” which demand a conventional lease whereas a true virtual office does not require that expense” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_office). Virtual office is the new office of the future. Although a virtual office has been around for a while, it has not been used by everyone because when the concept was adopted, there was not much technology developed yet to support it. Now, with the increasing amount of technology for home use, now companies can move more jobs to this...

...Argument Analysis Clint Chapman Ivy Tech University ENGL 112 Exposition and Persuasion Tolulope Idowu 2/13/2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yzeCsv-qrM Abstract I’m going to analyze an advertisement for the wildly successful video game, Call of Duty: Black Ops. We will look at the audience the video is intending to reach, and the message it is trying to get across. Its about a minute long and features a few celebrities, but mostly just normal people in a war time setting. It looks to be well produced, and it was generally well received by anyone who viewed it. Youtube, black ops, call of duty, advertisement,analysis Call of Duty Analysis In November of 2010 the latest installment of the wildly successful video game franchise, Call of Duty was released. It was known as Call of Duty: Black Ops, and is first person shooter set in the height of the cold war era. There was an intense media and advertising blitz, mostly online and in print, but there was one notable commercial. As someone who has played all of these games, and usually at the top of the leaderboard when I do play, I was already excited before I saw the commercial. The commercial is trying to appeal to a wide range of people, not just the typical 15-24 year old male that this game appeals too. Those people already know about the game, have more than likely already pre-ordered it, and will be waiting at midnight to pick it up. This commercial is obviously not for them. It is, however...

...Facility Planning Part 2 Pamela Jackson HCS/446 September 28, 2015 Rachel Rivera Facility Planning – Part II Facility planning for a health care organization or outpatient clinic takes on its own unique regulatory requirements. Regulatory requirements are requirements that have been mandated by various federal, states, and local municipalities regarding the operation and safety of business operations as well as services provided. They are the legal fence between education and catastrophe.”The basic regulatory frameworks and acts that govern the present business operations include Sarbanes Oxley Act ([SOX], 2002), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (1999), and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ([HIPAA], 1996).” (Ezinearticles.com 2012) The main purpose of these regulatory requirements and tools is to ensure that society as a whole reap the benefits through accountability, integrity and confidentiality. The impact on regulatory requirements is based on how they are implemented. Regulatory Requirements Effect on the Design and Equipment Many times when planning a facility for use in an outpatient clinic it is important to research the regulatory requirements for equipment utilized in the care of patients and how it will impact the over all care, safety and wellness of the organization.
