...Unit 4 Project Courtney Cook February 27, 2010 Business Research Diane Sykes Secondary data is “information gathered for purposes other than the completion of a research project, and is also used to gain initial insight into the research problem” (steppingstones). When it comes to research, secondary data is beneficial in that it save the company time and money. It saves time because it takes less time to collect, and is less costly in collection and is preferable if it helps researchers to solve the research problem (Davis 71). At my organization, the type of secondary data that is used includes published material, annual reports, computer databases, and policy statements. This collection helps to recognize problems, by looking at current trends in the medical field, clarify problems by reviewing the needs of employees that are enrolled in our benefit plans, and forming feasible alternatives by developing a list of various insurance providers that can offer better coverage to all of our employees domestically and internationally. In working in the human resources department, there are many federal laws that are changing and when it comes to healthcare, many companies are anxiously awaiting any new policies that will influence benefit plans. With the growing concern over healthcare, the company has to be sure to pay attention to all forms of legislation, and use all information from articles, on-line publications, and webinars to remain competitive in an always changing...

...Unit 3 – Project Polarity Paper (Individual and Team) Polarity Paper (Individual and Team) 1. Polarities and polarity management A. Before you can learn about how the polarity management model works, you must first be able to understand what polarities actually are. Polarities are issues that are continuous and you can’t solve them or avoid them. Polarities are opposites which function best when both are present to balance with each other (Johnson, 1998). It is important to remember that a polarity is different than a problem, because a problem is something you solve and a polarity is something that you address and manage (Caldwell, 2011). Since this is the case you must find a different approach to deal with polarities or else things will just end up worse than they were. When using the polarity management model properly, it will make it much easier for those in charge to manage the polarities that they are dealing with. It also works the best when you It might be a little confusing at first for someone new to use the polarity management model efficiently, but it will help out tremendously when they do figure it out and they can handle the polarities they acknowledged. The most important thing to remember though is that polarities can’t be solved or fixed; the only way to deal with them is to find the best way to manage them efficiently (Caldwell, 2011). 2.

...I agree with the marketing director about how the company should develop new products aimed at the Chinese market rather than traditional British products for a range of reasons. One reason why I believe that the company should develop new products for the Chinese market is because of diversification. This is because I believe the company’s competitors are able to make ‘cheaper products in China’. This has made the company to be more capital intensive, meaning that the company is losing its differentiation focus of making its products handmade. This is because its costs are so high but have been able to lower costs, using machinery which means its products are not diverse from the competitors. This is what other competitors have done to make theirs cheaper so has lost its diverse aspects from competitors. The company developing new Chinese products means that it can make its products diverse from other competitors in the Chinese market this can be obtained from the research they have found and make products suited for the market. Another reason why they should change their market, to just providing for the needs of the Chinese is because of its old fashioned image within the UK which could easily could happen in China. This shows they could completely rebrand their image within the new market in China. The company already has a large Chinese department store interested for a new line of products so has an ensured buyer of their new line of Chinese products. This could lead...

...The Inside Aspect of Emotional Intelligence Aspects of Psychology American Intercontinental University Submitted by: Paula Carr June 29, 2014 | Emotional Intelligence 1 What is emotional intelligence? Emotional Intelligence in psychology terms represents an ability to validly reason with emotions and use emotions to enhance thought. Emotional Intelligence affects your success and your personal and professional relationships. Success is 80- 90% linked to emotional intelligence. There is so much more involved in emotional intelligence. In order to adequately define what is emotional intelligence and ways to enhance a persons’ emotional intelligence, these five things must be factored in. The first thing is self- awareness. This term explains its’ self. Having self- awareness means a person knowing their own mood and how that person feels about it, that person knowing their strengths and weaknesses, and that person knowing what options are there for their feelings. Not only does a person need to their emotions, but they also need to know how to handle those emotions, which brings us to the second way to enhance...

...There is need for the Dynamic Duo organization to strictly enforce the regulations in accordance with the compliance requirements of the OSHA. OSHA is required to formulate a strategy to record the injuries in the organization. Infact it is to be informed that all the organizations having more than 10 employees in the organization are required to keep a record of the work related injuries as well as work related illnesses in the records. However the records are required to be limited to the accidents that are serious and do have implications of major concern to the organization. Only serious accidents are required to be recorded. Other common injuries that do not require major treatment and only requiring first aid need to be recorded in the log reports. This obligation is mandatory as it provide organization with all the necessary information related to the safety of the workplace, industry hazard, worker protection as well as the information related to the elimination of the hazards and the future workplace injuries and the illnesses in the organization (Seligman, 1988). The maintenance of the records at the worksite is mandatory and the maintenance of the records is required to be maintained for about five years. Once the record making is complete the worksheets and other records completed in the worksite need to be maintained in the worksite for about 5 years. Also every year a summary of the accidents and injuries reported in the previous year need to be computed for future...

...Three passions, elementary yet overwhelmingly strong, govern my life: a love of video games, the advances of technology, and a quest for the knowledge that will help advance mankind. These passions, like a wave moves a boat, have moved me to live my life the way I have to this point. A love of video games brings a joy to any hollow hours that may arise in my day. It has already expended many hours of my life and none of those hours have been regretted. A love of video games can be the catalyst in bringing a group of people together--people who have nothing in common with one another can sit down and have fun while playing together in a game. I have spent time on this finally because even the people who can not see each other face to...

...One of the most top rated Klarus flashlights, is the XT11. This torch is small, compact and lightweight, but still produces enough light for most of your needs. It is affordable and significantly cheaper than most of the other LED torches available in the market today. It measures 1.5 by 1.5 inches and is only 8 ounces in weight. This means that it is small enough to disappear into your hand and light enough to confidently carry in your pocket. The Cree LED Technology Unlike the cheaper LED torches it uses the Cree LED bulbs. Other Cheap LED flashlights use poor technology to cut down cost. These cheap LEDs will loose their luminosity a very short period of time despite being very bright when it is still new. Sometimes the manufacturers of these substandard torches will increase the power rating to ensure that the cheap LEDs produce enough light even as it continues to loose its luminosity over time. The problem is that this trick tends to shorten the life of the bulb. The XT11 has two sets of Strobe lights that alternate every two seconds. These strobe lights can be used for defense and security to distract the offender. With only Cr123a batteries it can produce good lighting for illumination, or be used for self defense and sending S.O.S signals with the strobe light. The Small and Portable NT20 The NT20 is another of the top rated Klarus flashlights available in the market. It uses the Cree LED technology to provide 280 lumens of power. The Cree XP-G R5 LED bulb has a lifespan...
