The first three quarters for the team was a financial loss based on the company’s inability to generate revenue through sale of its computers. In the second quarter the team developed two brands of computers that were not recommended for sale. The company’s poor internal operating directives gave way to the development of two brands of computers that the market was unwilling to accept, combined with a weak market image and weak distribution network. It was very clear to the team that in order to turn the company into a profitable entity the team needed to evaluate the company’s resources and by so doing conducted an extensive internal analysis. The team looked at the company’s tangible and intangible resources.
Kirsten Laman ENGL 1301-61507 Professor Jackson 30 October 2014 Cognitive Effects of the Internet The book The Shallows by Nicholas Carr states that the introduction of the internet into society has had a profound effect on our culture. In other words, the internet has affected the way people think, read, and remember. The rapid access to tons of information has also affected people’s behavior making them less patient and less productive. According to Carr, “The Net commands our attention with far greater insistency than our television, or radio or morning newspaper ever did” (117). In today’s world, the internet has become essential to work, school and entertainment.
The disadvantages in not being able to reach as many individuals due to lack of internet or lack of email accessibility, provides major negative impacts for research. b. Facebook: Since it is social media, people get on there for other reasons. The people that fill out the Facebook surveys actually know the products, they aren’t just completing for the free stuff, and the information doesn’t get lost in spam emails. Some disadvantages of surveys are the broad consumer base risk. There are no new consumers as part of the survey.
CLUB IT, PART 2 ANGELA MOSIER XBIS/219 NOVEMBER 18, 2012 INSTRUCTOR – CONCHITA GARNETT After investigating, I have identified three business problems in terms of its resources, supply chain and customers. While Club It’s customers are mostly Net generation and Millennial, whom regularly use mobile technologies, the dial-up internet service is slow and not effective. The service allows connection to the internet via telephone. While dial- up connections are a considerably less expensive alternative to high speed connections, they are very extremely slow. It may appear that Club IT is saving money by not paying for a higher speed connection, it is likely that the savings are not as significant as they may think.
Expansion means career growth and other opportunities for the LPN’s If Happy Trails closes this facility, the organization will lose money and business opportunities. An alternative that Happy Trails can use is to explain to the LPNs that unions have made many American businesses less competitive so the employer has no option but to make budget cuts elsewhere. Those budget cuts could come from less recognition programs, pay raises less frequently and in an extreme circumstance the facility would be forced to close their doors. Many employees have come to the realization that unionization may in the long run put their jobs at risk by making their employers less competitive. The National Labor Relations Act forbids employers from interfering with, restraining, or
Server can be configured, for example if you are in an organization and you know that certain website your employers wouldn’t need access or you want to block all the dodge websites, you can do that by configuring the server. If you but new computers you can easily add the new computer onto the system with no problem so it is very flexible. Disadvantage of client/server When there is a problem with the server, or it even shuts down the whole system will get affected. It might be a bit pricy to set up client/server It might also be costly to maintain all the client on the client/server, lots of skills needed to maintain the server in a proper way. [pic] This is an example of a client/server, as you can see the big computer is the server and all the other computer/devices are connected to the server.

I feel that few websites are created with the intent to entertain or inform their audiences anymore. Many people use them as a stream of revenue through the companies advertising on their sites. Facebook did not become a billion dollar company by offering people a free website to connect with their “friends”. It was the businesses investing their money to market their product or service, creating a brand for themselves. Every day, I hear about a scandal or crime involving media technology.
Visualize every search you make and every purchase you make online affects every news and ads your given. So if you’re only given what you know, then how can you discover what you don’t know? The Filter Bubble written by Eli Pariser, is an excellent argument against the very personalized internet we are given today. Pariser helps us understand how to much personalization is dangerous and how it makes for a more narrow minded, dumb, and biased community. He explains how this is done silently and how we don’t really notice it, because
Competency 310.2.1: Ethical Issues in Business Social Responsibility of Company Q Company Q has recently closed two stores in a high-crime rate area of the city because they were consistently losing money. The company has met its ethical responsibility to its stakeholders. However, by closing the two stores they failed in its attempt to provide social responsibility to the community in which the stores were located. A company's first priority is to make a profit for its stakeholders, but they do have a social responsibility to the community in which the company resides. Most owners of a chain stores are said to be only interested in a making a profit instead of supporting the local community.
