Violence Against Bullies
The document discusses bullying laws and prevention strategies. It notes that while 49 states have laws against bullying, there is no federal law. Pennsylvania's bullying law covers cyberbullying and bullying off school grounds. Schools are required to address bullying in their conduct policies. Promising prevention strategies include getting the whole school community involved in promoting respect and empowering students to stand up for victims.
Covid bullying wp2021-8_final
- The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted both school bullying and cyberbullying according to an analysis of Google search data.
- When schools shifted to remote learning in spring 2020, searches for "school bullying" and "cyberbullying" both dropped around 30-40%.
- This drop was sustained through the 2020-2021 school year, though a gradual return to in-person instruction partially returned bullying search levels to pre-pandemic norms.
Cyber bullying
This document summarizes a study on the relationship between cyberbullying and adolescent health issues like depression and suicide. A survey was conducted of 40 school students in Delhi, India between the ages of 13-17. The results found that students who experienced cyberbullying reported negative emotional impacts like sadness and low self-esteem. While no direct correlation between cyberbullying and suicide was found, respondents reported suicidal thoughts. The study concludes that cyberbullying can cause depression, which in turn increases suicide risk. Recommendations include implementing anti-bullying programs and education for students, parents and teachers on cyber safety and security.
Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is intentional aggression online such as threats or humiliation. A study found 4-6% of youth experienced online harassment in 2013, and 15% had been aggressors. Those who were both aggressors and victims reported more psychosocial problems. While parental monitoring did not reduce cyberbullying rates, healthy parent-child relationships were important. The data is limited as severity and frequency of abuse are hard to measure, and more activity occurs online now. Teaching appropriate internet use in schools may help address the issue.
Cyberbullying: The Stats
1 in 3 teenagers have been intimidated online, with 19 year old boys being the largest age group targeted. Traditional bullies often engage in cyberbullying as well. A survey found that 34% of middle school students aged 11-15 years old reported being cyberbullied through threatening texts, online gossip or hurtful comments. While cell phones are the most common means of cyberbullying, social media apps see girls more likely to cyberbully than boys, who tend to bully through online gaming. Most teenagers do not report cyberbullying incidents.

Abstract: Using data from a regional census of high school students, we have documented the prevalence of cyberbullying and school bullying victimization and their associations with psychological distress. In the fall of 2008, 20406 ninth-through twelfth-grade students in MetroWest Massachusetts completed surveys assessing their bullying victimization and psychological distress, including depressive symptoms, self-injury, and suicidality. A total of 15.8% of students reported cyberbullying and 25.9% reported school bullying in the past 12 months. A majority (59.7%) of cyberbullying victims were also school bullying victims; 36.3% of school bullying victims were also cyberbullying victims. Victimization was higher among nonheterosexually identified youths. Victims report lower school performance and school attachment. Controlled analyses indicated that distress was highest among victims of both cyberbullying and school bullying (adjusted odds ratios [AORs] were from 4.38 for depressive symptoms to 5.35 for suicide attempts requiring medical treatment). Victims of either form of bullying alone also reported elevated levels of distress. Our findings confirm the need for prevention efforts that address both forms of bullying and their relation to school performance and mental health.

Declining Majority of Online Adults Say the Internet Has
Been Good for Society
Americans tend to view the impact of the
internet and other digital technologies on their
own lives in largely positive ways, Pew Research
Center surveys have shown over the years. A
survey of U.S. adults conducted in January
2018 finds continuing evidence of this trend,
with the vast majority of internet users (88%)
saying the internet has, on balance, been a
mostly good thing for them personally.
But even as they view the internet’s personal
impact in a positive light, Americans have
grown somewhat more ambivalent about the
impact of digital connectivity on society as a
whole. A sizable majority of online adults (70%)
continue to believe the internet has been a good
thing for society. Yet the share of online adults
saying this has declined by a modest but still
significant 6 percentage points since early 2014,
when the Center first asked the question. This is
balanced by a corresponding increase (from 8%
to 14%) in the share of online adults who say
the internet’s societal impact is a mix of good
and bad. Meanwhile, the share saying the
internet has been a mostly bad thing for society
is largely unchanged over that time: 15% said
this in 2014, and 14% say so today.
This shift in opinion regarding the ultimate social impact of the internet is particularly stark
among older Americans, despite the fact that older adults have been especially rapid adopters of
consumer technologies such as social media and smartphones in recent years. Today 64% of online
adults ages 65 and older say the internet has been a mostly good thing for society. That represents

Treating Childhood Abuse
The number of incidents that Child Protective Services (CPS) investigates annually in the United States is over two million alleged incidents of child abuse, 18 percent of physical abuse, 650,000 are confirmed to be physical violence, and neglect or abuse claims 1500 lives of children each year, with 80 percent being children under the age of four. Psychological and somatic symptoms, as well as psychological and medical diagnosis, including depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain syndromes, chronic fatigue syndrome, and irritable bowel disorder, have been correlated with childhood violence.
From exposure to traumatic incidents in which they are victims of physical and sexual assault, domestic violence, motor vehicle accidents, serious medical disease, natural or human-created disasters, a large number of children and adolescents can experience PTSD (Sadock, Sadock, & Ruiz, 2017).
Assessing for Abuse
Identification and assessment of childhood abuse can be a complex process. It needs careful consideration of the situation involving alleged childhood abuse. A detailed interview is used in policies used to assess childhood abuse. In evaluating childhood violence evaluation, both physical examination and behavioral review should be assessed during the interview. A conducive environment should be created to enable the client to feel comfortable so as to be forthcoming with information. The client and the therapist should develop a good relationship. Prevention, early identification of violence with intervention restrict incidence, and avoid further development of trauma.
Trauma screening refers to a brief method, centered survey to evaluate if a person has undergone one or more traumatic events, has reactions to such events, has particular mental or behavioral health needs, and requires referral for a thorough trauma-informed mental health evaluation. Screening and screening questionnaires and clinical interviews are techniques that help in evaluating for violence. The questionnaires can help diagnose a high-risk parent or caregiver who can mistreat a child or teenager and can determine whether they are at risk of abuse, are sexually abused or have been abused in the past.
Media Exposure
Media visibility can be helpful, but it has several drawbacks as well. An advantage of the media is that it can serve as a place for people to interact and exchange thoughts about the risks of child violence and prevention. Social networking and the internet also encourage abuse-victim children to find resources to aid coping. Their emotional health will benefit fro.
BULLYING ORIGINS, PREVENTION, EVOLUTION IN THE LAST DECADE16
This research proposal aims to study bullying among African American youth ages 11-14. It will examine the origins of bullying, how it has evolved in the last decade with cyberbullying, and ways to prevent bullying. The study will use questionnaires and interviews of African American youth, their parents, and a control group of white youth to understand their experiences with traditional and cyberbullying and suggestions to address the problem. The research methods, participants, timeline, and responsibilities are outlined to comprehensively address the factors that trigger bullying among this group and how to stop it.
FNBE AUGUST'14 ENGLISH ESSAY 1 (Effect of students mature at a younger age)
This document discusses the effects of students maturing at a younger age in Malaysia. It notes that social problems reported to police have increased 231% in recent years, including issues like crime, violence, drug abuse, rape, and baby dumping. Specifically, the document outlines that rape cases have been rising in Malaysia, with the highest numbers in Selangor state. It also discusses that baby dumping occurs because students are afraid to tell their families or are away from home with no supervision. Further, drug abuse among Malaysian students is discussed to be a growing problem, influenced by peers. The document concludes that as citizens, Malaysians must work to educate youth and change behaviors that lead to premature maturation.
Skinner cyberbullying
This document discusses cyberbullying and the responsibilities of schools. It defines bullying as unwanted aggressive behavior among school children involving a real or perceived power imbalance. Cyberbullying is a growing problem, as social media allows bullying to follow children home. While schools have some responsibility to address bullying, their authority off-campus is limited by freedom of speech. Studies show many schools have cyberbullying policies, but expectations of how to deal with incidents that occur outside of school vary greatly between administrators, parents, and countries. The document examines these issues and debates around the complex role of schools in responding to cyberbullying.
CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT
CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT 2
Child Abuse and Neglect
Introduction
Child welfare is one of the special areas of practice in social work. It is special in the context in which the principles and values that govern the social work profession align with policies that guide child welfare organizations. Child abuse is one of the major universal social problems that impact children from all types and levels of society. Child abuse can have a significant impact on the child's personality growth. More so, it can affect the child's adult behavior in later life. Therefore, it the role of the social workers to study the causes of abuse and treatment. Underlaying the efforts is the belief that all societies are responsible for creating an abuse-free society (Zeanah & Humphreys, 2018). This study aims to evaluate factors related to childhood abuse and neglect and social workers' role in alleviating the problem.
Nature and scope of child abuse and neglect
Child abuse is a devastating social problem in society. While the legal definition of child abuse and neglect may vary across different states, there are four recognized classifications of child abuse and neglect. They are sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional maltreatment, and neglect. They neglect medical, educational, and other forms of neglect. Almost 700 000 children are abused every year in the United States. That is about 1 percent of the total number of kids. In 2019, it was estimated that 1770 children in the United States died because of child abuse and neglect. However, the data is incomplete because there are likely to be a lot of unreported cases (Krugman & Poland, 2019). The most prone victims of abuse and neglect are the youngest children. That is children who are in the first year of their life. WWW points out that in 2019 children of 3 years and below experienced a mistreatment rate of 16 per 1000. For children aged 4 to 7 years, the mistreatment rate was 12 per 1000 population. For 8 to 11 years, the mistreatment rate was at 8 per 1000 population. The mistreatment rate goes on decreasing as the children age up. It is the responsibility of child welfare authorities to ensures the safety of children in the country.
Historical Background
For a long time, children have been considered as the property of their parents. Therefore, this notion assumes that parents hold the power of life and death over their children. Throughout history, there have been social provisions that seek to protect orphans and the abandoned children from abuse and neglect. The provisions covered only the orphans and the disabled. However. It is in the last 150 years that the state has made efforts to protect the rights of children by overriding the rights of parents. That means that during the era of the industrial revolution and the invention and introduction of compulsory education attendan ...

Cyber Bullying
Cyber bullying do your sources use one word or two for this term? Take another look. is one of the current social problems that have flourished with the advancement in technology because many people have access to technology today repetitive of “current”. The technology has gone to both good and bad hands. In bad hands, technology has been used to orchestrate various criminal activities. Among the criminal activities facilitated by the technology is cyber bullying. Various studies have been conducted on cyber bullying. This paper highlights some of the arguments in these studies. Despite being an activity that came with the advancement in technology, cyber bullying has rapidly spread in the society and can now affect anybody wherever he or she is if he or she is accessible to the internet. Thesis? What will the essay argue?
A research V conducted by a Harford County Examiner revealed that half the population of teenagers is word form victims of cyber bullying and only 10% of the victims take a step to report the matter to their parents. Among the cyber bullying incidents, less than 20% of the incidents get reported to the law enforcement agencies. Approximately 20% of teenagers have photos of them taken while in embarrassing situations. It further revealed that girls are V often involved in cyber bullying than boys. The study therefore indicates that cyber bullying is V common in teenagers than any other age group. It further shows how parents distance themselves towards monitoring what their teenage children do on the internet how does it show that? The evidence about from the source don’t show that. Therefore, it can be concluded that inadequate parental consent is a major contributor to the high trends of cyber bullying (Thaxter, 2010). The information in this paragraph doesn’t support this conclusion.
In regard to this, Thaxter (2010) researched and wrote a journal article titled “Cyber bullying: Challenges and strategies faced by juvenile police officers.” In this article, the author claims that juvenile police officers are expected by the government to ensure the full enforcement of laws and regulations related to cyber bullying in a school classroom setting. This makes the officers to be outstanding educational reserve this sentence doesn’t make sense. This move what move? by the police officers is centered towards the consequences of cyber bullying on the victims and also impacts that the school cyber bullying has on the behavior on the environment and ambiance at the school. A vital technique to link the differing levels of involvement in bullying is by calling attention to all stu ...

Several studies have found alarming rates of early sexual activity, teenage pregnancy, and sexually transmitted infections among Filipino youth. The 2013 Young Adult Fertility and Sexuality Study found that 32% of youth aged 15-24 reported early sexual encounters in 2013, up from 23% in 2002. The 2017 National Demographic Health Survey reported that 22% of girls had begun childbearing by age 19. Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) in schools aims to equip young people with the information and skills to make responsible decisions to protect their health, well-being, and dignity. CSE is designed to advance gender equality and empowerment by ensuring learners receive appropriate information to reduce health risks and achieve their full potential.

Bulling as the Leading Cause of Teen Suicide among Adolescents between 14 and 16 Years of Age in Schools in the United States
Abstract
This paper examines bullying as the prevalent cause of teen suicide among adolescents between fourteen and sixteen years of age within schools in America. “Bullying” refers to a dangerous factor associate with suicidal thoughts and trials amongst teenagers. In many schools in the United States, school-age teenagers are subjected to bullying, resulting in suicide.
Introduction
Suicide is one of the principal reasons for mortality for teenagers aged fourteen to sixteen. Teenage suicide is an awful worldwide public health concern affecting teens (Baiden & Tadeo, 2020; Okafor et al., 2020). The relatively and associates stay emotionally distressed lives following the loss of their young ones. About one in six elementary school children has seriously opted to commit suicide, while one in twelve has tried it (Baiden et al., 2020). Furthermore, suicide tolls among teenagers have been amplifying for the last few years, from six percent in early 2009 to eight percent in late 2011 (Baiden & Tadeo, 2020; Okafor et al., 2020). Besides, evidence reveals a vibrant link between victimization and suicide, as recommended by current bullying-associated suicide mortalities.
Hook
The grounds behind a teenager's suicide might be challenging. Even though suicide is somehow unusual amongst kids, the level of attempted suicides intensifies significantly during the teenage years (Baiden et al., 2020; Tang et al., 2020).
Background Information
Within the previous years, headings reporting the sad accounts of a teens’ suicide connected to bullying have become prevalent. The family is left with much pain after losing their loved ones. Even society is affected because they lose someone from their community (Baiden et al., 2020; Campisi et al., 2020). Losing such as young, energetic soul to suicide snatches a blessing from both the community and the family.
Problem Statement
This research will address bullying as the leading cause of suicide between teenagers aged fourteen to sixteen. If this issue is not addressed, we will keep on losing young ones to this menace.
Research Question

Bulling as the Leading Cause of Teen Suicide among Adolescents between 14 and 16 Years of Age in Schools in the United States
Abstract
This paper examines bullying as the prevalent cause of teen suicide among adolescents between fourteen and sixteen years of age within schools in America. “Bullying” refers to a dangerous factor associate with suicidal thoughts and trials amongst teenagers. In many schools in the United States, school-age teenagers are subjected to bullying, resulting in suicide.
Introduction
Suicide is one of the principal reasons for mortality for teenagers aged fourteen to sixteen. Teenage suicide is an awful worldwide public health concern affecting teens (Baiden & Tadeo, 2020; Okafor et al., 2020). The relatively and associates stay emotionally distressed lives following the loss of their young ones. About one in six elementary school children has seriously opted to commit suicide, while one in twelve has tried it (Baiden et al., 2020). Furthermore, suicide tolls among teenagers have been amplifying for the last few years, from six percent in early 2009 to eight percent in late 2011 (Baiden & Tadeo, 2020; Okafor et al., 2020). Besides, evidence reveals a vibrant link between victimization and suicide, as recommended by current bullying-associated suicide mortalities.
Hook
The grounds behind a teenager's suicide might be challenging. Even though suicide is somehow unusual amongst kids, the level of attempted suicides intensifies significantly during the teenage years (Baiden et al., 2020; Tang et al., 2020).
Background Information
Within the previous years, headings reporting the sad accounts of a teens’ suicide connected to bullying have become prevalent. The family is left with much pain after losing their loved ones. Even society is affected because they lose someone from their community (Baiden et al., 2020; Campisi et al., 2020). Losing such as young, energetic soul to suicide snatches a blessing from both the community and the family.
Problem Statement
This research will address bullying as the leading cause of suicide between teenagers aged fourteen to sixteen. If this issue is not addressed, we will keep on losing young ones to this menace.

Introduction
The risk of teen suicide through cyberbullying has emerged as a major policy issue in Canada. The Federal Justice Minister has committed to
"holistic" legislation that will produce a national anti-bullying strategy using both education and criminal law as the principal policy instruments.
Canadian provinces have responded with a patchwork of legislation ranging from the creation of a cyberbullying investigative unit in Nova
Scotia, to preventative programming introduced through the British Columbia Ministry of Education. In addition, several municipalities
implemented cyberbullying bylaws, providing local police with the ability to ticket bullies.
As every student of public policy knows, the policy cycle begins with problem definition, which is a political activity, not a rational one
(Rochefort and Cobb 1993). How a policy problem is defined limits the alternatives considered and imposes specific accounts of the
appropriate instruments to be implemented. As Janet Weiss (1989) explains, problem definition is "not merely a label for a set of facts and
perceptions. It is a package of ideas that includes at least implicitly an account of the causes and consequences of some circumstances that
are deemed undesirable, and a theory about how a problem may be allev ...
Juvenile Delinquency: Statistics Show a Decrease in Arrests
Antisocial behavior among young people is a common problem for many parents. People who commit crimes before they have reached the age at which they can be tried as adults in a court of law present an issue not only for their parents but also for society in general.

- The document discusses children and issues pertaining to children in India. It aims to explain the vulnerability of children and gain knowledge on the status of children in India.
- Children are considered one of the most vulnerable populations due to factors such as dependence, innocence, lack of awareness, lack of political influence and economic power.
- In India, millions of children are involved in child labor, child marriage, trafficking and living on the streets. Malnutrition, anemia and other health issues afflict many Indian children.
- The document categorizes vulnerable children as those in conflict with the law (offenders) and those in need of care and protection (victims). It provides statistics and discusses causes and consequences of
Integrating technology1
Increased technology use in classrooms has led to new opportunities for bullying. Around half of principals see bullying as a serious problem, while most students who are bullied do not report it. There are different types of bullying, including physical, verbal, social, and cyberbullying. Cyberbullying involves threatening or harassing through technology and social media, and its prevalence is rising with increased internet and phone use. Several high-profile teen suicides have been linked to cyberbullying. Educators and parents need to be aware of cyberbullying and encourage students to report incidents.
Linking public schools and community mental health copy
The Rhode Island Suicide Prevention Initiative (SPI) is a youth suicide prevention program that links public schools with community mental health services. Over three years, SPI identified 328 students at risk of suicide and referred 258 to mental health evaluations. Most referrals were for outpatient services rather than emergency departments. SPI shows promise as an effective school-based suicide prevention model that diverts at-risk youth from unnecessary emergency room visits by connecting them to local mental health support and follow-up services. Further research is still needed to fully evaluate SPI's impact compared to non-participating schools.

Team Project Deliverable and Presentation
You team works for XYZ Company, which has a directional strategy focused on expanding the company through horizontal integration. Your team can determine the official name of the company and industry. The company does a great job keeping close watch on its cash position and consistently maintains a positive cash flow; is very solvent; controls its overhead expenses; has solid marketing and sales, production, and human resources performance metrics, and fosters a culture of strategic thinkers. Historically, your company has expanded through a combination of organic (new startups) and inorganic growth and feels it’s time to consider acquisition opportunities.
The Board is looking to engage in a friendly acquisition of a company that will not only increase its market share, but allow it to penetrate new markets and increase the company’s abilities to meet current and future consumer needs and expectations. Since management’s attitude is to pursue a friendly acquisition as opposed to a hostile takeover, your team may consider looking at conglomerates that have experienced significant growth through inorganic growth (acquisitions) and may now be looking to refocus on their core business and are willing to consider divesting some of its businesses that are within your industry. There could be other companies.

Treating Childhood Abuse
The number of incidents that Child Protective Services (CPS) investigates annually in the United States is over two million alleged incidents of child abuse, 18 percent of physical abuse, 650,000 are confirmed to be physical violence, and neglect or abuse claims 1500 lives of children each year, with 80 percent being children under the age of four. Psychological and somatic symptoms, as well as psychological and medical diagnosis, including depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain syndromes, chronic fatigue syndrome, and irritable bowel disorder, have been correlated with childhood violence.
From exposure to traumatic incidents in which they are victims of physical and sexual assault, domestic violence, motor vehicle accidents, serious medical disease, natural or human-created disasters, a large number of children and adolescents can experience PTSD (Sadock, Sadock, & Ruiz, 2017).
Assessing for Abuse
Identification and assessment of childhood abuse can be a complex process. It needs careful consideration of the situation involving alleged childhood abuse. A detailed interview is used in policies used to assess childhood abuse. In evaluating childhood violence evaluation, both physical examination and behavioral review should be assessed during the interview. A conducive environment should be created to enable the client to feel comfortable so as to be forthcoming with information. The client and the therapist should develop a good relationship. Prevention, early identification of violence with intervention restrict incidence, and avoid further development of trauma.
Trauma screening refers to a brief method, centered survey to evaluate if a person has undergone one or more traumatic events, has reactions to such events, has particular mental or behavioral health needs, and requires referral for a thorough trauma-informed mental health evaluation. Screening and screening questionnaires and clinical interviews are techniques that help in evaluating for violence. The questionnaires can help diagnose a high-risk parent or caregiver who can mistreat a child or teenager and can determine whether they are at risk of abuse, are sexually abused or have been abused in the past.
Media Exposure
Media visibility can be helpful, but it has several drawbacks as well. An advantage of the media is that it can serve as a place for people to interact and exchange thoughts about the risks of child violence and prevention. Social networking and the internet also encourage abuse-victim children to find resources to aid coping. Their emotional health will benefit fro.

FNBE AUGUST'14 ENGLISH ESSAY 1 (Effect of students mature at a younger age)
This document discusses the effects of students maturing at a younger age in Malaysia. It notes that social problems reported to police have increased 231% in recent years, including issues like crime, violence, drug abuse, rape, and baby dumping. Specifically, the document outlines that rape cases have been rising in Malaysia, with the highest numbers in Selangor state. It also discusses that baby dumping occurs because students are afraid to tell their families or are away from home with no supervision. Further, drug abuse among Malaysian students is discussed to be a growing problem, influenced by peers. The document concludes that as citizens, Malaysians must work to educate youth and change behaviors that lead to premature maturation.
Skinner cyberbullying
This document discusses cyberbullying and the responsibilities of schools. It defines bullying as unwanted aggressive behavior among school children involving a real or perceived power imbalance. Cyberbullying is a growing problem, as social media allows bullying to follow children home. While schools have some responsibility to address bullying, their authority off-campus is limited by freedom of speech. Studies show many schools have cyberbullying policies, but expectations of how to deal with incidents that occur outside of school vary greatly between administrators, parents, and countries. The document examines these issues and debates around the complex role of schools in responding to cyberbullying.
CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT
CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT 2
Child Abuse and Neglect
Introduction
Child welfare is one of the special areas of practice in social work. It is special in the context in which the principles and values that govern the social work profession align with policies that guide child welfare organizations. Child abuse is one of the major universal social problems that impact children from all types and levels of society. Child abuse can have a significant impact on the child's personality growth. More so, it can affect the child's adult behavior in later life. Therefore, it the role of the social workers to study the causes of abuse and treatment. Underlaying the efforts is the belief that all societies are responsible for creating an abuse-free society (Zeanah & Humphreys, 2018). This study aims to evaluate factors related to childhood abuse and neglect and social workers' role in alleviating the problem.
Nature and scope of child abuse and neglect
Child abuse is a devastating social problem in society. While the legal definition of child abuse and neglect may vary across different states, there are four recognized classifications of child abuse and neglect. They are sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional maltreatment, and neglect. They neglect medical, educational, and other forms of neglect. Almost 700 000 children are abused every year in the United States. That is about 1 percent of the total number of kids. In 2019, it was estimated that 1770 children in the United States died because of child abuse and neglect. However, the data is incomplete because there are likely to be a lot of unreported cases (Krugman & Poland, 2019). The most prone victims of abuse and neglect are the youngest children. That is children who are in the first year of their life. WWW points out that in 2019 children of 3 years and below experienced a mistreatment rate of 16 per 1000. For children aged 4 to 7 years, the mistreatment rate was 12 per 1000 population. For 8 to 11 years, the mistreatment rate was at 8 per 1000 population. The mistreatment rate goes on decreasing as the children age up. It is the responsibility of child welfare authorities to ensures the safety of children in the country.
Historical Background
For a long time, children have been considered as the property of their parents. Therefore, this notion assumes that parents hold the power of life and death over their children. Throughout history, there have been social provisions that seek to protect orphans and the abandoned children from abuse and neglect. The provisions covered only the orphans and the disabled. However. It is in the last 150 years that the state has made efforts to protect the rights of children by overriding the rights of parents. That means that during the era of the industrial revolution and the invention and introduction of compulsory education attendan ...

Cyber Bullying
Cyber bullying do your sources use one word or two for this term? Take another look. is one of the current social problems that have flourished with the advancement in technology because many people have access to technology today repetitive of “current”. The technology has gone to both good and bad hands. In bad hands, technology has been used to orchestrate various criminal activities. Among the criminal activities facilitated by the technology is cyber bullying. Various studies have been conducted on cyber bullying. This paper highlights some of the arguments in these studies. Despite being an activity that came with the advancement in technology, cyber bullying has rapidly spread in the society and can now affect anybody wherever he or she is if he or she is accessible to the internet. Thesis? What will the essay argue?
A research V conducted by a Harford County Examiner revealed that half the population of teenagers is word form victims of cyber bullying and only 10% of the victims take a step to report the matter to their parents. Among the cyber bullying incidents, less than 20% of the incidents get reported to the law enforcement agencies. Approximately 20% of teenagers have photos of them taken while in embarrassing situations. It further revealed that girls are V often involved in cyber bullying than boys. The study therefore indicates that cyber bullying is V common in teenagers than any other age group. It further shows how parents distance themselves towards monitoring what their teenage children do on the internet how does it show that? The evidence about from the source don’t show that. Therefore, it can be concluded that inadequate parental consent is a major contributor to the high trends of cyber bullying (Thaxter, 2010). The information in this paragraph doesn’t support this conclusion.
In regard to this, Thaxter (2010) researched and wrote a journal article titled “Cyber bullying: Challenges and strategies faced by juvenile police officers.” In this article, the author claims that juvenile police officers are expected by the government to ensure the full enforcement of laws and regulations related to cyber bullying in a school classroom setting. This makes the officers to be outstanding educational reserve this sentence doesn’t make sense. This move what move? by the police officers is centered towards the consequences of cyber bullying on the victims and also impacts that the school cyber bullying has on the behavior on the environment and ambiance at the school. A vital technique to link the differing levels of involvement in bullying is by calling attention to all stu ...

Introduction
The risk of teen suicide through cyberbullying has emerged as a major policy issue in Canada. The Federal Justice Minister has committed to
"holistic" legislation that will produce a national anti-bullying strategy using both education and criminal law as the principal policy instruments.
Canadian provinces have responded with a patchwork of legislation ranging from the creation of a cyberbullying investigative unit in Nova
Scotia, to preventative programming introduced through the British Columbia Ministry of Education. In addition, several municipalities
implemented cyberbullying bylaws, providing local police with the ability to ticket bullies.
As every student of public policy knows, the policy cycle begins with problem definition, which is a political activity, not a rational one
(Rochefort and Cobb 1993). How a policy problem is defined limits the alternatives considered and imposes specific accounts of the
appropriate instruments to be implemented. As Janet Weiss (1989) explains, problem definition is "not merely a label for a set of facts and
perceptions. It is a package of ideas that includes at least implicitly an account of the causes and consequences of some circumstances that
are deemed undesirable, and a theory about how a problem may be allev ...
Juvenile Delinquency: Statistics Show a Decrease in Arrests
Antisocial behavior among young people is a common problem for many parents. People who commit crimes before they have reached the age at which they can be tried as adults in a court of law present an issue not only for their parents but also for society in general.
Module 03 issues pertaining to children & causes
- The document discusses children and issues pertaining to children in India. It aims to explain the vulnerability of children and gain knowledge on the status of children in India.
- Children are considered one of the most vulnerable populations due to factors such as dependence, innocence, lack of awareness, lack of political influence and economic power.
- In India, millions of children are involved in child labor, child marriage, trafficking and living on the streets. Malnutrition, anemia and other health issues afflict many Indian children.
- The document categorizes vulnerable children as those in conflict with the law (offenders) and those in need of care and protection (victims). It provides statistics and discusses causes and consequences of
Integrating technology1
Increased technology use in classrooms has led to new opportunities for bullying. Around half of principals see bullying as a serious problem, while most students who are bullied do not report it. There are different types of bullying, including physical, verbal, social, and cyberbullying. Cyberbullying involves threatening or harassing through technology and social media, and its prevalence is rising with increased internet and phone use. Several high-profile teen suicides have been linked to cyberbullying. Educators and parents need to be aware of cyberbullying and encourage students to report incidents.
Linking public schools and community mental health copy
The Rhode Island Suicide Prevention Initiative (SPI) is a youth suicide prevention program that links public schools with community mental health services. Over three years, SPI identified 328 students at risk of suicide and referred 258 to mental health evaluations. Most referrals were for outpatient services rather than emergency departments. SPI shows promise as an effective school-based suicide prevention model that diverts at-risk youth from unnecessary emergency room visits by connecting them to local mental health support and follow-up services. Further research is still needed to fully evaluate SPI's impact compared to non-participating schools.

Team Project Deliverable and Presentation
You team works for XYZ Company, which has a directional strategy focused on expanding the company through horizontal integration. Your team can determine the official name of the company and industry. The company does a great job keeping close watch on its cash position and consistently maintains a positive cash flow; is very solvent; controls its overhead expenses; has solid marketing and sales, production, and human resources performance metrics, and fosters a culture of strategic thinkers. Historically, your company has expanded through a combination of organic (new startups) and inorganic growth and feels it’s time to consider acquisition opportunities.
The Board is looking to engage in a friendly acquisition of a company that will not only increase its market share, but allow it to penetrate new markets and increase the company’s abilities to meet current and future consumer needs and expectations. Since management’s attitude is to pursue a friendly acquisition as opposed to a hostile takeover, your team may consider looking at conglomerates that have experienced significant growth through inorganic growth (acquisitions) and may now be looking to refocus on their core business and are willing to consider divesting some of its businesses that are within your industry. There could be other companies.

BUS308 – Week 1 Lecture 2 Describing Data Expected Out.docx
BUS308 – Week 1 Lecture 2
Describing Data
Expected Outcomes
After reading this lecture, the student should be familiar with:
1. Basic descriptive statistics for data location
2. Basic descriptive statistics for data consistency
3. Basic descriptive statistics for data position
4. Basic approaches for describing likelihood
5. Difference between descriptive and inferential statistics
What this lecture covers
This lecture focuses on describing data and how these descriptions can be used in an
analysis. It also introduces and defines some specific descriptive statistical tools and results.
Even if we never become a data detective or do statistical tests, we will be exposed and
bombarded with statistics and statistical outcomes. We need to understand what they are telling
us and how they help uncover what the data means on the “crime,” AKA research question/issue.
How we obtain these results will be covered in lecture 1-3.
Detecting
In our favorite detective shows, starting out always seems difficult. They have a crime,
but no real clues or suspects, no idea of what happened, no “theory of the crime,” etc. Much as
we are at this point with our question on equal pay for equal work.
The process followed is remarkably similar across the different shows. First, a case or
situation presents itself. The heroes start by understanding the background of the situation and
those involved. They move on to collecting clues and following hints, some of which do not pan
out to be helpful. They then start to build relationships between and among clues and facts,
tossing out ideas that seemed good but lead to dead-ends or non-helpful insights (false leads,
etc.). Finally, a conclusion is reached and the initial question of “who done it” is solved.
Data analysis, and specifically statistical analysis, is done quite the same way as we will
see.
Descriptive Statistics
Week 1 Clues
We are interested in whether or not males and females are paid the same for doing equal
work. So, how do we go about answering this question? The “victim” in this question could be
considered the difference in pay between males and females, specifically when they are doing
equal work. An initial examination (Doc, was it murder or an accident?) involves obtaining
basic information to see if we even have cause to worry.
The first action in any analysis involves collecting the data. This generally involves
conducting a random sample from the population of employees so that we have a manageable
data set to operate from. In this case, our sample, presented in Lecture 1, gave us 25 males and
25 females spread throughout the company. A quick look at the sample by HR provided us with
assurance that the group looked representative of the company workforce we are concerned with
as a whole. Now we can confidently collect clues to see if we should be concerned or not.
As with any detective, the first issue is to understand the.
BUS308 – Week 5 Lecture 1 A Different View Expected Ou.docx
BUS308 – Week 5 Lecture 1
A Different View
Expected Outcomes
After reading this lecture, the student should be familiar with:
1. What a confidence interval for a statistic is.
2. What a confidence interval for differences is.
3. The difference between statistical and practical significance.
4. The meaning of an Effect Size measure.
Overview
Years ago, a comedy show used to introduce new skits with the phrase “and now for
something completely different.” That seems appropriate for this week’s material.
This week we will look at evaluating our data results in somewhat different ways. One of
the criticisms of the hypothesis testing procedure is that it only shows one value, when it is
reasonably clear that a number of different values would also cause us to reject or not reject a
null hypothesis of no difference. Many managers and researchers would like to see what these
values could be; and, in particular, what are the extreme values as help in making decisions.
Confidence intervals will help us here.
The other criticism of the hypothesis testing procedure is that we can “manage” the
results, or ensure that we will reject the null, by manipulating the sample size. For example, if
we have a difference in a customer preference between two products of only 1%, is this a big
deal? Given the uncertainty contained in sample results, we might tend to think that we can
safely ignore this result. However, if we were to use a sample of, say, 10,000, we would find
that this difference is statistically significant. This, for many, seems to fly in the face of
reasonableness. We will look at a measure of “practical significance,” meaning the likelihood of
the difference being worth paying any attention to, called the effect size to help us here.
Confidence Intervals
A confidence interval is a range of values that, based upon the sample results, most likely
contains the actual population parameter. The “most likely” element is the level of confidence
attached to the interval, 95% confidence interval, 90% confidence interval, 99% confidence
interval, etc. They can be created at any time, with or without performing a statistical test, such
as the t-test.
A confidence interval may be expressed as a range (45 to 51% of the town’s population
support the proposal) or as a mean or proportion with a margin of error (48% of the town
supports the proposal, with a margin of error of 3%). This last format is frequently seen with
opinion poll results, and simply means that you should add and subtract this margin of error from
the reported proportion to obtain the range. With either format, the confidence percent should
also be provided.
Confidence intervals for a single mean (or proportion) are fairly straightforward to
understand, and relate to t-test outcomes simply. Details on how to construct the interval will be
given in this week’s second lecture. We want to understand how to interpret and understa.
BUS308 – Week 1 Lecture 1 Statistics Expected Outcomes.docx
BUS308 – Week 1 Lecture 1
Statistics
Expected Outcomes
After reading this lecture, the student should be familiar with:
1. The basic ideas of data analysis.
2. Key statistical concepts and terms.
3. The basic approach for this class.
4. The case focus for the class.
What we are all about
Data, measurements, counts, etc., is often considered the language of business. However,
it also plays an important role in our personal lives as well. Data, or more accurately, the
analysis of data answers our questions. These may be business related or personal. Some
questions we may have heard that require data to answer include:
1. On average, how long does it take you to get to work? Or, alternately, when do you
have to leave to get to work on time?
2. For budget purposes, what is the average expense for utilities, food, etc.?
3. Has the quality rejection rate on production Line 3 changed?
4. Did the new attendance incentive program reduce the tardiness for the department?
5. Which vendor has the best average price for what we order?
6. Which customers have the most complaints about our products?
7. Has the average production time decreased with the new process?
8. Do different groups respond differently to an employee questionnaire?
9. What are the chances that a customer will complain about or return a product?
Note that all of these very reasonable questions require that we collect data, analyze it,
and reach some conclusion based upon that result.
Making Sense of Data
This class is about ways to turn data sets, lots of raw numbers, into information that we
can use. This may include simple descriptions of the data with measures such as average, range,
high and low values, etc. It also includes ways to examine the information within the data set so
that we can make decisions, identify patterns, and identify existing relationships. This is often
called data analysis; some courses discuss this approach with the term “data-based decision
making.” During this class we will focus on the logic of analyzing data and interpreting these
results.
What this class is not
This class is not a mathematics course. I know, it is called statistics and it deals with
numbers, but we do not focus on creating formulas or even doing calculations. Excel will do all
of the calculations for us; for those of you who have not used Excel before, and even for some
who have, you will be pleasantly surprised at how powerful and relatively easy to use it is.
It is also not a class in collecting the data. Courses in research focus on how to plan on
collecting data so that it is fair and unbiased. Statistics deals with working on the data after it has
been collected.
Class structure
There are two main themes to this class. The first focuses on interpreting statistical
outcomes. When someone says, the result is statistically significant with a p-value of 0.01; we
need, as professionals, to know what it means. .

Statistics for Managers
Discussions
To participate in the following discussions, go to this week's
Discussion
link in the left navigation.
Language
Numbers and measurements are the language of business.. Organizations look at results, expenses, quality levels, efficiencies, time, costs, etc. What measures does your department keep track of ? How are the measures collected, and how are they summarized/described? How are they used in making decisions? (Note: If you do not have a job where measures are available to you, ask someone you know for some examples or conduct outside research on an interest of yours.)
Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Respond to at least two of your classmates by providing recommendations for the measures being discussed.
Levels
Managers and professionals often pay more attention to the levels of their measures (means, sums, etc.) than to the variation in the data (the dispersion or the probability patterns/distributions that describe the data). For the measures you identified in Discussion 1, why must dispersion be considered to truly understand what the data is telling us about what we measure/track? How can we make decisions about outcomes and results if we do not understand the consistency (variation) of the data? Does looking at the variation in the data give us a different understanding of results?
Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Respond to at least two classmates by commenting on the situations that are being illustrated.

BUS308 Week 4 Lecture 1 Examining Relationships Expect.docx
BUS308 Week 4 Lecture 1
Examining Relationships
Expected Outcomes
After reading this lecture, the student should be familiar with:
1. Issues around correlation
2. The basics of Correlation analysis
3. The basics of Linear Regression
4. The basics of the Multiple Regression
Overview
Often in our detective shows when the clues are not providing a clear answer – such as
we are seeing with the apparent continuing contradiction between the compa-ratio and salary
related results – we hear the line “maybe we need to look at this from a different viewpoint.”
That is what we will be doing this week.
Our investigation changes focus a bit this week. We started the class by finding ways to
describe and summarize data sets – finding measures of the center and dispersion of the data with
means, medians, standard deviations, ranges, etc. As interesting as these clues were, they did not
tell us all we needed to know to solve our question about equal work for equal pay. In fact, the
evidence was somewhat contradictory depending upon what measure we focused on. In Weeks 2
and 3, we changed our focus to asking questions about differences and how important different
sample outcomes were. We found that all differences were not important, and that for many
relatively small result differences we could safely ignore them for decision making purposes –
they were due to simple sampling (or chance) errors. We found that this idea of sampling error
could extend into work and individual performance outcomes observed over time; and that over-
reacting to such differences did not make much sense.
Now, in our continuing efforts to detect and uncover what the data is hiding from us, we
change focus again as we start to find out why something happened, what caused the data to act
as it did; rather than merely what happened (describing the data as we have been doing). This
week we move from examining differences to looking at relationships; that is, if some measure
changes does another measure change as well? And, if so, can we use this information to make
predictions and/or understand what underlies this common movement?
Our tools in doing this involve correlation, the measurement of how closely two
variables move together; and regression, an equation showing the impact of inputs on a final
output. A regression is similar to a recipe for a cake or other food dish; take a bit of this and
some of that, put them together, and we get our result.
Correlation
We have seen correlations a lot, and probably have even used them (formally or
informally). We know, for example, that all other things being equal; the more we eat. the more
we weigh. Kids, up to the early teens, grow taller the older they get. If we consistently speed,
we will get more speeding tickets than those who obey the speed limit. The more efforts we put
into studying, the better grades we get. All of these are examples of correlations.

BUS225 Group Assignment1. Service BlueprintCustomer acti.docx
BUS225 Group Assignment
1. Service Blueprint
Customer actions include the choice of visiting a Calvin Klein retail store, browsing clothes and asking for recommendations from a sales representative. Visible actions performed by Calvin Klein’s sales representative include greet customers upon arrival, check for inventory, bring clothes to customers and process payment. These actions are visible to customers and one invisible action performed by the sales representative would be finding customer clothes in the back room. The support processes include inventory-tracking system, inventory in the back room and POS systems, which allow the sales representative to deliver service smoothly.
2. Introduction
Calvin Klein is one amongst the leading fashion style and marketing studios within the world. It styles and markets women’s and men’s designer assortment attire and a variety of different products that area unit factory-made and marketed through an intensive network of licensing agreements and different arrangements worldwide.
2.1 Target Market
Calvin Klein targets male and female, and the millenials. The demographics of the people that would be receiving these messages from the “My Calvins” campaign would be men and women between the ages of 15-30, not married and have a median income.
Millenials believe that the next generation of robots are not going to replace people, but instead help to improve the effectiveness and service of industries. In today’s world, to suggest that automation will eliminate the need for human workers is proving to be as ridiculous as suggesting that tablets will replace laptops.
In the industrial world, robot design is pivoting from giant mechanical arms that take up factory floors, to smaller, more collaborative bots, that are designed to work alongside people. While these collaborative bots only make up 3% of the market today, they will make up 34% of the market by 2025.
3. Trend and importance of robotics
3.1. Role of robotics
The service sector is at an inflection point with regard to productivity gains and service industrialization similar to the industrial revolution in manufacturing that started in the eighteenth century. Robotics in combination with rapidly improving technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), mobile, cloud, big data and biometrics will bring opportunities for a wide range of innovations that have the potential to dramatically change service industries. The purpose of this paper is to explore the potential role service robots will play in the future and to advance a research agenda for service researchers (Wirtz et al. 2018).
Advancements in technology are radically transforming service, and increasingly providing the underlying basis for service strategy. Technological capabilities inevitably advance, firms will tend to move from standardized to personalized and from transactional to relational over time, implying that firms should be alert to technological opportunities to .

SUBJECT: Out of Class Experience – Cybersecurity Conference
Cybersecurity is a topic everyone should be concerned about, so I attended the 3rd Annual Cybersecurity Event held in the Grawn Atrium. I gained insight and knowledge from listening to the speakers that came from different kinds of industries. In this memo, I will discuss what I learned from the speaker and two takeaways: 1) cybersecurity is everywhere, 2) personal identifiable information, and 3) cybersecurity for the business student.
Cybersecurity is Everywhere
The conference was an opportunity to learn about cybersecurity. The first speaker talked about how companies are attacked in many different ways every day. The “bad guys” are trying to steal company information as well as employee information. Both kinds of information are valuable on the black market. The second speaker talked about the internet of things (IoT). These are things that are attached to the internet. The speaker talked about autonomous cars and medical equipment (heart) that talks to the internet. She talked about how cyber can and should influence designs. “Things” must be created with cybersecurity included in every step of the design. The last speaker talked about how my information has value. The “bad guys” steal my information and people want to buy it. Making money is one reason hackers steal millions of records.
Personal Identifiable Information
Personal Identifiable Information (PII) is any information relating to an identifiable person. There are laws in place to help make sure this information is secure. This topic is a takeaway for me because I had no idea my data had any value t.

they meet in the middle.
How high will the track be in the middle?

Twitter mining analyzed the Twitter message in predicting, discovering, or investigating the causation. Twitter mining included text mining that designed specifically to leverage Twitter content and context tweets. With the use of text mining, twitter was able to include analysis of additional information that associates to tweets, which include hashtags, names, and other related characteristics. The mining also employs much information as several tweets, likes, retweets, and favorites trying to understand the considerations better. Twitter using text mining was successful in capturing and reflecting different events that relate to other conventional and social media. In 2013, there were over 500 million messages per day for twitter and became impossible for any human to analyze. It became important than to develop computer-based algorithms, including data mining. Twitter implements text mining in analyzing the sentiment that associates with twitter messages. It based on the analysis of the keyword that words are having a negative, positive, or neutral sentiment (Sunmoo, Noémie& Suzanne, (Links to an external site.)n.d). Positive words, for example like great, beautiful, love, and negative words of stupid, evil, and waste, do regularly have lexicons. Using text mining, Twitter was able to capture sentiments by capturing many dictionary symbols. Moreover, the sentiment applied to abbreviations, emoticons, and repeated characters, symbols, and abbreviations.
The sentiments on topics of economics, politics, and security are usually negative, and sentiments related to sports are harmful. Twitter also used text mining to collect and analyze for topic modeling techniques over time. To pull out the data from Twitter, TwitterR used. “Someone well versed in database architecture and data storage is needed to extract the relevant information in different databases and to merge them into a form that is useful for analysis” ( Sharpe, De Veaux & Velleman, 2019, p.753). It provides the interface that connects to Twitter web API; retweetedby/ids also used combined with RCurl package in finding out several tweets that retweeted. Text mining is also used in Twitter to clean the text by taking out hyperlinks, numbers, stop words, punctuations, followed by stem completion. Text mining also implemented for social network analysis.
Web mining focus on data knowledge discovery .

This graph is a representation of single people versus married couples from the year 1950 to the year 2019. This information was gathered and presented by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Census Bureau who have a good record of presenting accurate data and are highly credible. The U.S. Department of Commerce is responsible for promoting economic growth in the united states. The U.S. Census Bureau is an agency of the Federal government that is responsible for producing data about the people of America and the economy.
So, the graph that I chose to talk about is one showing the gap between how many people are married and how many people are single in the united states from 1950 - 2019. I chose this graph because it caught my attention right away because of the contrasting colors but also because of the information displayed. It is crazy to think that since 1950 the American population has more than doubled according to this graph and with the growing population, the numbers of married couples and singles rise too. However, if you look at the percentages of singles they haven't changed all too much. For example, the number of single Americans in 1950 was 37.3M and in 2019 it was 125.7M. Even with such a large population boom the percentage that was never married really hadn't changed going from 69% to 68%.
The presentation of this graph is excellent with the line graph being yellow and on a blue backdrop, it allows it to really stand out. The shape of the graph shows a sharp incline as the population in us explodes. Since this graph is focused on the single population of America it puts the focus on that with stats like "never been married, divorced, widowed" because there are multiple ways to be single and really only one way to be married.

Egypt has a sizable trade deficit that has continued to grow through the 21st century. The country has imports that make up a third of GDP and exports that make up one tenth of GDP. Egypt has many critical trade partners that include China, the United States, and the Gulf Arab countries. Throughout history Egypt has had an unstable government which has led to an unstable economy. This is related to the fluctuations the country has experienced in tariffs and taxes. The country has stabilized in recent years, but the historic instability still remains a critical factor when considering the expansion of Wal-Mart into Egypt. The trade deficit would not be a concern under normal conditions due to the fact that this means money is flowing into the country and creating new opportunities, but because the government is not stable Wal-Mart would want to ascertain that money was being invested properly in the future. If money is not being utilized correctly than the trade deficit becomes a concern because future generations are inheriting a debt that had no payback associated with it. The exchange rate of the Egyptian pound has gotten stronger to the US Dollar, which is a good indicator the economy is heading in the correct direction. Wal-Mart expansion could benefit from getting into the market in Egypt at the right time to see major profits.
Egypt is a market that will continue to grow as the internal government becomes stabilized and the country continues to focus on improving the economic welfare of the people. Currently the market in Egypt is volatile and companies that select to make an investment here must be aware of the many different cultural aspects that will affect success. The government is working to “find solutions and solve difficulties for people and businesses” (Bawaba, 2019) and has seen success in the first half of 2019. “At the time of May 31, 2019, the whole country had 721,516 businesses doing business, increasing 23,921 enterprises (3.43 %) compared to the end of 2018.” (Bawaba, 2019). This sort of success validates a foreign company wanting to make an investment, but continued analysis of the country’s government stability will be needed before each new storefront is added.

Separation of Ownership and Managerial Control
To start off the lesson, corporate governance is defined as a set of mechanisms used to manage the relationship among stakeholders and to determine and control the strategic direction and performance of organizations. Corporate governance is concerned with identifying ways to ensure that decisionsare made effectively and that they facilitate strategic competitiveness. Another way to think of governance is to establish and maintain harmony between parties.
Traditionally, U. S. firms were managed by founder- owners and their descendants. As firms became larger the managerial revolution led to a separation of ownership and control in most large corporations. This control of the firm shifted from entrepreneurs to professional managers while ownership became dispersed among unorganized stockholders. Due to these changes modern public corporation was created and was based on the efficient separation of ownership and managerial control.
The separation of ownership and managerial control allows shareholders to purchase stock. This in turn entitles them to income from the firm’s operations after paying expenses. This requires that shareholders take a risk that the firm’s expenses may exceed its revenues.
Shareholders specialize in managing their investment risk. Those managing small firms also own a significant percentage of the firm and there is often less separation between ownership and managerial control. Meanwhile, in a large number of family owned firms, ownership and managerial control are not separated at all. The primary purpose of most large family firms is to increase the family’s wealth.
The separation between owners and managers creates an agencyrelationship. An agency relationship exists when one or more persons hire another person or persons as decision- making specialists to perform a service. As a result an agency relationship exists when one party delegates decision- making responsibility to a second party for compensation. Other examples of agency relationships are consultants and clients and insured and insurer. An agency relationship can also exist between managers and their employees, as well as between top- level managers and the firm’s owners.

Reasons for acquisitions;
Problems in achieving acquisition success;
Effective acquisitions; and

Please go to the next slide.
4
The Popularity of Merger and Acquisition Strategies
The acquisition strategy has been a popular strategy among U.S. firms for many years. Some believe that this strategy played a central role in an effective restructuring of U.S. business during the 1980s and 1990s and into the twenty-first century.
An acquisition strategy is sometimes used because of the uncertainty in the competitive landscape. A firm may make an acquisition to increase its market power because of a competitive threat, to enter a new market because of the opportunity available in that market, or to spread the risk due to the uncertain environment.
The strategic management process calls for an acquisition strategy to increase a firm’s strategic competitiveness as well as its returns to shareholders. Thus, an acquisition strategy should be used only when the acquiring firm will be able to increase its value through ownership of the acquired firm and the use of its assets.
Please go to the next slide.
5
Mergers, Acquisitions, and Takeovers
A merger is a strategy through which two firms agree to integrate their operations on a relatively coequal basis. Few true mergers actually occur, because one party is usually dominant in regard to market share or firm size.
An acquisition is a strategy through which one firm buys a controlling, or one hundred percent, interest in another firm with the intent of making the acquired firm a subsidiary business within its portfolio. In this case, the management of the acquired firm reports to the management of the acquiring firm. Although most mergers are friendly transactions, acquisitions can be friendly or unfriendly.
A takeover is a special type of an acquisition strategy wherein the target firm does not solicit the acquiring firm’s bid. The number of unsolicited takeover bids increased in the economic downturn of 2001 to 2002, a common occurrence in economic recessions; because the poorly managed firms that are undervalued relative to their assets are more easily identified.
On a comparative basis, acquisitions are more common than mergers and takeovers.

Reasons for Acquisitions
There are a number of reasons firms decide to acquire another company. These are:
Increased market power;
Overcoming entry barriers;

Customer Relationships
Strategic competitiveness results only when the firm is able to satisfy a group of customers by using its competitive advantages as the basis for competing in individual product markets. A key reason firms must satisfy customers with their business-level strategy is that returns earned from relationships with customers are the lifeblood of all organizations. The most successful companies try to find new ways to satisfy current customers and/or meet the needs of new customers.
The firm’s relationships with its customers are strengthened when it delivers superior value to them. Strong interactive relationships with customers often provide the foundation for the firm’s efforts to profitably serve customers’ unique needs.
The reach dimension of relationships with customers is concerned with the firm’s access and connection to customers. Richness is concerned with the depth and detail of the two-way flow of information between the firm and the customer. Affiliation is concerned with facilitating useful interactions with customers.
Deciding who the target customer is that the firm intends to serve with its business-level strategy is an important decision. Companies divide customers into groups based on differences in the customers’ needs to make this decision. Dividing customers into groups based on their needs is called market segmentation, which is a process that clusters people with similar needs into individual and identifiable groups.
Next slide.
5
Customer Relationships, continued
After the firm decides who it will serve, it must identify the targeted customer group’s needs that its good or services can satisfy. Successful firms learn how to deliver to customers what they want and when they want it. In a general sense, needs are related to a product’s benefits and features. Having close and frequent interactions with both current and potential customers helps firms identify those individuals’ and groups’ current and future needs.
As explained in previous lessons, core competencies are resources and capabilities that serve as a source of.
