...II. A THEORY STATED: STRATEGY’S LOGIC There is an essential unity to all strategic experience in all periods of history because nothing vital to the nature and function of war and strategy changes. Strategy provides a coherent blueprint to bridge the gap between the realities of today and a desired future. It is the disciplined calculation of overarching objectives, concepts, and resources within acceptable bounds of risk to create more favorable future outcomes than might otherwise exist if left to chance or the hands of others. It is the consideration of the relation of how to apply resources to achieve desired results in a specific strategic environment over time. In the context of the state, strategy is the employment of specific instruments of power (political/diplomatic, economic, military, and informational) to achieve the political objectives of the state in cooperation or in competition with other actors pursuing their own— possibly conflicting—objectives.9 In other words, it is the application of the power inherent in the natural and societal resources of the state toward policy ends in an emerging, dynamic, and competitive strategic environment. Both strategy and planning are subordinate to the nature of the environment. Strategy has distinct attributes and differs from planning in its scope, assumptions, and premises, but it provides the structure and parameters for more detailed long-range and short-term planning. Both strategy and planning...

...How political, legal and social factors impact on businesses.

I will be looking at the factors which affect the business at this current time and also factors that may potentially affect them in the future and what they can do as a response and the benefits and drawbacks that may come with their response. McDonalds “McDonald's is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving around 68 million customers daily in 119 countries across 35,000 outlets” and was founded in the United States in 1940 and currently have more than 1,200 restaurants in the UK. Political Politics can heavily affect the way in which McDonalds operate, as regulations set by the government have to be followed by organisations or could result in consequences, fines and bad publicity. Firstly, one political factors could be, that the governments are trying to cut down the rate of obesity in the UK (it is estimated that around 25% of the UK is classed as obese and that is set to rise to 50% by 2050) by: encouraging the UK population to eat healthier and to cut down on fast foods and sugary foods and to inform the population more about the health risks associated with obesity e.g. (diabetes & strokes).

In today’s society people communicate generally through technology, no one really talks face to face anymore. The way many business gain recognition is through social networks such as facebook and linked in. Technology is the new trend of communication, society uses technology to communicate through Iphones, and computers. I am currently looking for a job, so communication plays a big role in my everyday life. In today’s society in order to gain employment a person must network his or herself through means of the internet. When a person networks his or herself it has to be done through online applications, job seeking, and resume writing. For example, first a person would type in local job search, this will give a list of job search engines (monster, jax jobs, and remedy staffing), then after clicking on a search engine the person will be guided through local companies hiring and how to apply. Very few business’s now a days except paper applications, this way the company can pick and choose people based on a resume and the company does not have to be bothered by people constantly calling to check the status of his or her application. The internet also provides people with specific tools for helping write resumes or just gain skills needed to impress employer. This is the way I must communicate very day in order to find...

...From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Don't be a dick" redirects here. For the meta essay, see meta:Don't be a jerk. For other uses, see Dick (disambiguation). Dick is an English-language euphemism used for a variety of slang purposes, some generally considered vulgar. It is used to refer to the penis,[1] and by extension as a verb to describe sexual activity. It is also used as a pejorative term for individuals who are considered to be rude, abrasive, inconsiderate, or otherwise contemptible.[1] In this context, it can be used interchangeably with jerk, and can also be used as a verb to describe rude or deceitful actions. Variants include dickhead, which literally refers to the glans. The offensiveness of the word dick is complicated by the continued use of the word in inoffensive contexts, including as both a given name and a surname, in the popular British dessert, spotted dick, in the classic novel Moby-Dick, and in the Dick and Jane series of children's books. Uses such as these have provided a basis for comedy writers to exploit this juxtaposition through double entendre. The word dick has had other slang meanings in the past. It was frequently used in mystery fiction to mean "detective", as with the 1940 W.C. Fields film, The Bank Dick (which was released in the United Kingdom as The Bank Detective). The word has sometimes been used to mean "nothing". Neither of these definitions were necessarily pejorative or related to the usual modern meaning of the word. Contents...

...office’s impact on employee work-life balance and business sustainability Prepared for: Mr. Ray Hingst Submitted: 18 October 2013 Prepared by: Anton Tarasov 0061055930 Faculty of Business and Law In today’s world the virtual office is no more an innovation; numerous organizations have used this technology long enough to understand whether it is a helpful tool for business or just another source of complications. This paper is aimed to address practical issues related to the virtual office’s impact on employee work-life balance and business sustainability. Definitions of the virtual office, telecommuting, business sustainability, and other important terms will be given. Different pros and cons of using the virtual office for employees (work-life balance) and for organizations (business sustainability) will be presented reviewed and compared. Finally, the summarized conclusion will answer the main question of this topic: “is the virtual office a good solution for employees and organizations or not?” Since the virtual office and telecommuting are tightly connected, it is of great importance to distinguish between those two terms. Telecommuting has numerous definitions in business related literature, but they all present quite similar description. For example, Noonan & Glass (2012, p. 38) state it simply as ‘work tasks regularly performed at home’ while Thomas B. Cross (2013, pp. 7-8) specifies telecommuting as ‘performing job-related work at a site away from the office...

...Factual Summary: In this scenario, Coleman works for Software Inc. in which some of his duties included traveling to prospective clients and meeting with representatives of his sales division. During one of his sales trips he went to the mall to buy a ring for his wife that he couldn’t afford and proceeded to steal it from the jewelry store. After stealing the ring he met with John at Jimmy’s Poor-Man’s Bar which was not a client of Coleman’s.

...regulations for a business role in a work place. This covers different roles with Super Group, I will be looking at the health, safety and security legislation and regulation have different implications. Ever since health and safety has been introduced into the work place they have to have set up and complete risk assessments due to the management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 legislation, for example if an employee at Super Group was set up a risk assessment and the first implication is to make sure they include all possible hazards and risks. The next implication of the risk assessment they have to make sure they involve is every employee that works for the business and for example if an employee was injured and was in a cast and on crutches they would have to make a whole new specific risk assessment for that employee and everything that was going on around including other employees. This is very important because if the worst possible outcome was to happen at work then they would have to able to get that injured employee out safely for example making sure all first exits were clear and all the alarms are tested and working correctly. The next legislation I will be looking and what implications is causes is the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 which was put in place to make sure all employee are safe at work and our working in a healthy environment, this is important for Super Group because they have many high chemical substances at work and they have to...
