Importance Of Data Collection

Importance of Data Collection
Introduction
This report will give an overview of the aim behind collecting data, types of data collected, methods
used and how the collection of the data supports the department's practices. It will also give a brief
outlook on the importance of legislation in recording, storing and accessing data.
Why Organisations Need to Collect Data
To satisfy legal requirement: every few months there is some request from the government sector to
gather, maintain and reports lots of information back to them on how many people do we have in the
organization, working hours, how much our expenses for the whole year, we should keep data stored
in case information is needed to defend the company legal actions that could arise at any time

(2) Methods of Storing Records & their Benefits:
* Manually:
* Some data are still being stored manually, especially those documents that require signatures or
kept for the Government.
* Manual data storing is easy to use as it does not required specific training; however it takes a lot of
space and time.
* The department started to scan those documents and upload them to the virtual data base to ensure
a friendlier environment and for security purposes.
* Electronically:
* The main system used in the organisation is SAP.
* Storing data electronically via SAP is highly efficient as the data is integrated.
* The program needs to be updated only once to be implemented throughout the company.
* It is accurate and reduces human error.
* It has different keys for accessing authority.
* The downside of this implementation is its high cost. Also, it may take a longtime to get a return
on the investment.
Importance of Legislation:
* Legislation is a very important part when it comes to data recording, storing and accessing.
* The company has different keys when it comes to accessing data.
* Code of Business Ethics Policy is applied to all employees in the company.
* This policy includes information on Confidential Information and Disclosure.
* The use or disclosure information must be for Company purposes only and not for personal

benefits.
* To preserve confidentiality, disclosure and discussion of confidential

The Social Penetration Theory: Summarized and Identified
Using Research, Media and A Personal Example
Intro
If one was asked to describe the social penetration theory, the best example would be an onion. Just
as an onion requires its layers to be exposed to reach the core, social penetration requires a similar
type of unraveling. The social penetration theory deals with the progressive disclosure of one's true
self to others and the world. Individuals have many layers that ultimately combine to form a shield
that protects the true self at the core (Tang and Wang, 2012). In recent years social penetration has
been examined through many virtual interactions due to the digital age. In a study conducted by Jih–
Hsin Tang and Cheng–Chung Tang ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It was also shown that in the depth scale that bloggers disclose more to their best friends (average of
60%) versus parents (average 40%) and online users (20%) (Tang and Wang, 2012). Overall it was
found that bloggers disclose more to their best friends versus parents and online users. The study
concluded that bloggers are more open in their private lives than they are on the web.
Media
Furthermore, social penetration is depicted in our everyday lives through the interactions we have
with others and how others interact with people. We indirectly learn about social penetration
through different forms of media such as books, videos, news, and most importantly films. Films
provide a reflection how to effectively and ineffectively disclose information. An example of a film
that depicts the social penetration theory would be 21 Jump Street directed by Phil Lord and Chris
Miller. In the film Jonah Hill plays an undercover cop named Schmidt who develops feelings for a
character named Molly. The scene that clearly shows good social penetration is when Schmidt
develops enough courage to call Molly and have a conversation with her. In the scene Schmidt is in
his room and uses his cell phone to call Molly. She picks up and immediately asks who is on the
other line, before Schmidt can respond his mother gets on the line and tries to make a phone call.
Filled with embarrassment Schmidt screams for her to get off the

Drafting Note For Recitals ( A )
Drafting Note to RECITALS (a) Confidentiality agreements typically do not describe the
contemplated transaction in detail to avoid the implication that the parties have come to any
agreement on the terms of the transaction. Nonetheless, the definition of "Transaction" should be
drafted carefully to prevent potential misuse by the Receiving Party of the Disclosing Party's
information. For instance, the Receiving Party may abandon negotiations and launch a hostile bid
for the Disclosing Party using the Disclosing Party's information in formulating the bid. This form
defines "Transaction" as a negotiated transaction, and thus the use by the Receiving Party of the
Disclosing Party's information to launch a hostile bid would be a breach of ... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
The definition of "Proprietary Information" in this form provides that information can be considered
Proprietary Information regardless of whether it is marked "confidential." Including such a
provision can help the parties avoid an overly burdensome diligence process and any accidental
failures to mark information as confidential. Drafting Note to Paragraph 1(a) This provision
contains each party's confidentiality and non–disclosure obligations with respect to the Proprietary
Information. It also permits each party to disclose the other party's Proprietary Information to its
Representatives who need to know such information in order to advise such party in doing the deal.
Each party will want to ensure that the other party's Representatives are also bound not to disclose
the Proprietary Information. Note that some parties may be uncomfortable with explicitly assuming
responsibility for any breach of this agreement by its Representatives. The party may require certain
of its Representatives to enter into a joinder or separate confidentiality agreement with the
Disclosing Party. Alternatively, each party may

This was a direct result of Shepherd disclosing information to his boss that revealed his invention.
This is by far the most pressing issue for Shepherd because if he is unable to fully protect his
invention from his employer, none of the remaining issues even matter. Nova does not develop any
type of translation engine themselves, however they are in the business of rewriting applications to
run on new systems. This demonstrates to Nova that Shepherd could have used knowledge gained
while working at Nova to develop the translation engine. This also brings up the issue of the
translation engine he developed being in direct competition with Nova's current business. Another
issue confronting Shepherd is that the software he created, even though it was development during
his own personal time using his own personal machine, it was created while he was currently an
employee at Nova. Disclosing this information to his employer gives them enough justification to
claim ownership of that software. As agreed by Shepherd when joining Nova, they claim all
ownership of any ideas or software that Shepherd generates while he is an employee of the
company. 3. What is your evaluation of the non–disclosure agreement (NDA)? Would you sign this
as a venture capitalist? Why or why not? The non–disclosure agreement presented by Mason and
Shepherd seeks to safe guard their idea, such

Honesty Full Disclosure
Ethical Dilemma #5: Honesty and Full Disclosure Honesty and full disclosure and stewardship in
my mind go hand in hand. I don't think an individual should be giving to an organization that does
not disclose all the information; therefore, stewardship would not need to take place. "Honesty and
full disclosure – Nonprofits must give people enough information to make informed giving
decisions, not "sugarcoat" their organizations ' stories to make them more attractive to a wider array
of donors. Honesty with donors is the essential foundation of healthy benefactor relations."
(Burchill, 2010, p.2). An example comes to mind when I consider the importance of honesty and full
disclosure. When I became a fundraiser at the institution I am currently with I took the place of
another fundraiser. This meant that I picked up where the other fundraiser left off in terms of the
donors process. With one donor in particular she was near the end of the giving cycle; she had
already given her gift in the form of a planned gift she just had not documented it yet. Documenting
the gift is important because it means the institution can 'count it' toward our goal in our current
campaign to raise $360 million. The components of this campaign is for the building and
implementation of a new hospital, as well as education, research and clinical care. This donor, upon
hearing false information from an individual who does not work at the institution any longer,
decided that she would not document

1. Evaluate the situation in which Mason and Shepherd find themselves with respect to their existing
employers. What legal and ethical issues do you see and how would you advise them to proceed?
Mason's endeavor for the venture creation is strictly bounded by her employment agreement with
ATS. That is to say, she will be in clear violation of the Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation,
Nondisclosure and Development provisions, if she plans to pursue the venture within one year by
utilizing the information and social network she gained from the company. So the first barrier she
need to tackle is to prove this new business is not in competition with ATS at all. Also she cannot

2. Evaluate the Non–Disclosure Agreement and its potential impact on venture capitalists
considering an investment in Intlisoft. If you were a venture capitalist, why would or wouldn't you
sign? (Ge Tian) If I were a venture capitalist, I would not sign the Non–Disclosure Agreement
(NDA). As a matter of fact, most of the venture capitalists would not sign such kind of agreements.
Entrepreneurs sometimes request the venture capitalist to sign Non–Disclosure Agreement because
they are worried about the security of their intellectual properties. As a result they are seeking
protection from the NDA to comfort themselves in that way they think their intellectual properties
are protected by law. However, this kind of thought is naive in reality. If venture capitalist signed
NDA, it could put them under the risk to face prosecution. NDA will also severely limit the amount
and type of transactions, VCs will have to reevaluate their portfolio; as a result their interests will be
badly damaged. Besides the potential risks and interests loss that might incur by signing NDA, there
are some other reasons for VCs not to sign NDA. Nowadays, VC need to read thousands of business
plan every year, if they hire lawyers to spend time reading thousands copies of NDA, they would
not have extra money and time to do other things. The opportunity cost is huge. Furthermore, many
entrepreneurs when they start their first company

Application of Law to the Facts: In light of all the facts based upon the law relating to nondisclosure
agreements (NDA's), a court most likely would rule in favor of Greene's Jewelry. This ruling comes
from the matters of breaking legal contracts. NDA's are legal binding contracts. Ms. Jennifer
Lawson breached the confidentiality agreement/contract, that she was required to sign upon working
for Greene's, when she took secret information to multiple competing jewelers. The agreement was
a valid bi

This is unlike the product Howell's produces, which have caused disfiguring rashes. Greene's
product affords them the benefit of the doubt from their industry and community at large. The
defendant's contention is derived on circumstantial evidence, meaning that there is no direct
evidence to show that Greene's explicitly terminated her employment based solely on her pregnancy.
Greene's should attempt to be proactive by letting the public know that Ms. Lawson's 3 years of
outstanding work should not go without notice. Additionally, the plaintiff should plan to publicly
announce their unfortunate situation which has caused the need to downsize and eliminate the
positions held by all junior executive secretaries. As a showing of good faith it may also be in the
company's best interest to offer severance packages for their displaced former employees to help
them along as they move on to the next stage of their careers. Letting the public know that they care
and are truly saddened by having to let their employees go will play on sentiment and may help to
bring the public to Greene's side, thus reducing their reputational risk. Greene's also needs to look
into how they keep their secrets in the future. Confidentiality or nondisclosure agreements

For example, there were 8000 e–mails that were sent out to students that needed to submit
documents. Although it was necessary for students to send in these documents, many of them had
questions. There was not adequate phone coverage to be able to assist all students who had received
an e–mail. Students become frustrated that they have to sit on hold for thirty minutes while waiting
for an advisor and once connected to the advisor they may not receive as detailed information as
they would prefer. In addition, advisors become frustrated with management that they were not
informed of the messages that were relayed to students. "Things happen in organizations because
people working individually and in groups make them happen; people make the difference"
(Schermerhorn). This can be both positive and negative. The lack of communication happens
because people neglect to put in the work to make a difference and improve communication. In
addition, the lack of motivation from disgruntled employees causes lack of work as well. However,
if these problems were resolved and increase satisfaction among employees it could create ambition
for employees to make difference in how they perform their duties as well.
I feel that there are improvements that can be made that can rectify the situation the Student Finance
department is currently in. I feel that one of the most important changes needs to be in
communication. The way that we

British Cuisine
Some time ago Somerset Maugham said that ‘to eat well in England, you should have breakfast
three times a day.' To be perfectly honest, most British food was considered by many people as
terrible. It included overcooked vegetables, boring sandwiches and greasy sausages. It was
definitely not an enjoyable experience. However, these are now only stereotypes. Things have
changed a lot and food has become very important in British culture. Not only TV cooks are more
famous than writers, but also their recipes and books are well–known across the Europe. The ‘New

Many people like Italian pizza and pasta dishes.'
Even though many people believe that there is nothing like typical traditional English dish and that
Britain has the fast–food reputation, the traditional cuisine has survived. It is practiced mainly in the
countryside and among the British upper classes. It includes: roast beef and Yorkshire pudding,
toad–in–the–hole, pie and mash, black pudding, roast chicken, roast lamb, bangers and mash,
bubble and squeak ploughman's lunch, hotpot, shepherds pie, Welsh faggots, syllabub, cock–a–
leekie, mulligatawny soup and many other. What is worth mentioning here is that some world
known food was invented in Britain. For instance, mayonnaise, HP sauce, marmite or simple
sandwich. Many people also believe that steaks originated in the USA. However, they are so much
British that in the past times British ‘elite troops were referred to as beefeaters.' Additionally,
Britons try to guard their ‘inventions.' Traditional food and drinks are protected under European
Union Law.
From the end of World War II, large numbers of population have turned vegetarian. In 2003 it was
estimated that ‘there are between 3 and 4 million vegetarians in the UK.' It is one of the highest
figures noted in this time in the western world. What is more, ‘Guinness Survey of pub food done
in Jan 1991 showed that 96% of British pubs now cater for vegetarians.' Though

Harvard Business Review Case- Revere Street
After analysis of Mr. Alexander's proposal, it is obvious why he should take advantage of a real
estate investment opportunity. The experience he would gain coupled with the added income would
establish a solid foundation for making more investments in the future. To this end, however, I find
Alexander's plan for the Revere Street property falls short. A major deficiency is that his projections
are almost entirely predicated on estimates and assumptions that are neither conservative nor
reliable. In a similar vein, Alexander's "DIY" approach is not only exemplar of naiveté, but also
suggestive of many implications that were overlooked in his proposal. And, even more
discouraging, a best–case scenario analysis reveals that even without ... Show more content on

Though possible, it is incredibly hard to imagine that the stars would align so perfectly that all the
aforementioned conditions are met as forecasted and result in triumph. It seems much more likely
that some unforeseen incident will paralyze the process, creating a rippling effect that throws off
virtually all of Alexander's predictions. For example, a delay in the closing process would delay
construction, delaying when tenants can move in and therefore when income can start being
generated, and so on. The plan is contingent upon virtually incident–free operation that is somehow
achieved under the direction of an amateur– this is fundamentally flawed. As such, I believe
Alexander's proposal is far too deficient in and of itself to be used as a viable plan. Beyond the
limitations of the actual plan, another shortcoming of pursuing this opportunity on Revere Street are
the serious implications associated with Alexander's "do–it–yourself" approach. By not outsourcing
responsibilities to experts, he may be avoiding the explicit employment costs, but he is likely to pay
more for doing the job himself later. For example, hiring a general contractor would ensure that the
building is constructed to code, would be more efficient because the GC would know how to best
handle subcontractors and manage the overall project, both of which would help expedite the
process

Full Disclosure
This issue of full disclosure to patients regarding errors and information about treatment is delicate.
On the one hand, patients have the power to exert their autonomy in making decisions about their
health. On the other hand, doctors are responsible for educated and informing patients and the
community regarding issues. I believe that, taking into consideration both sides, doctors are
responsible for providing all information necessary for a patient to make a fully informed decision.
In addition, full disclosure of errors is vital to ensuring the patient maintains autonomy in his or her
life.

career, but also to obtain the ability to make ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
By ensuring patients are fully informed about procedures with risks and benefits, the consequences
of minor errors are drastically reduced. Though Baylis (1997) admits that many professionals
believe that disclosure of errors leads to loss of confidence in the physician or even medicine in
general, this is usually false. According to Matlow, et al. (2006), "the preference for full disclosure
is almost universal." This thought goes hand–in–hand with informed consent. Patients wish to be
autonomous, especially regarding their health, and to withhold information diminishes their
autonomy and trust in the physician. In addition, to assuage professional opinions, Popp (2003)
found that admission of error typically reduced the financial liability of a hospital drastically
compared to when no disclosure was present. This honesty also leads to a discussion of causes for
the error rather and potential improvements to avoid the same outcome for future cases. Morbidity
and Mortality (M&M) conferences at hospitals seek to do the same thing and simultaneously
educate many in the field to reduce stigma of equating error with personal flaws (Matlow, et al.,

Addicted to the Media
Freshmen year 6th period geography class, I remember staring at the clock so when the dismissal
bell rang I was able to run home so that I could catch my favorite program, Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles. I would Wake up every Saturday morning at 7 am so that I could control the remote and
watch my programs all day long instead of going outside to play or do my homework. Everyday
countless numbers of individuals are choosing to spend their free time indulging in media addiction
that is taking control of their lives. From social networks like Facebook and Instagram to time
consuming video games and television programs that are available in numerous ways, media
addiction exists and is becoming more prevalent in our society today than it has ever been.
Addiction is willingly engaging and repeating an activity in which you know is causing a negative
effect on your life. It's when you put your life or some other person's life in danger for the mere fact
of seeking pleasure from the activity. Addiction is also feeding that urge which is difficult to control.
As humans we don't like to admit that we are being controlled by an outside force. We tell a lie to
ourselves that we have full control of our lives when that is not the case. Americans are spending a
substantial amount of time on media to the point that it outnumbers the hours spent on doing
productive tasks. Kids and adolescents are now spending the same amount of hours on media as one
would be working a full time job.

What is OPSEC and Why Do We Have It What is OPSEC? It's a process of protecting little pieces

Identification of critical information is the process of identifying what information is needed by the
enemy, not so much protecting everything that is classified or sensitive unclassified, but protecting
what is more vital and would be more useful to the enemy. Analysis of threats is the research and
analysis of intelligence, counterintelligence and open source information on the likely enemies of a
planned operation. Analysis of vulnerabilities is to examine each and every aspect of the planned
operation and try to identify certain OPSEC indicators that could reveal critical information and
then compare those indicators with the enemy intelligence collection capabilities used in the
previous actions that they have taken in the past. Assessment of risk is where they first analyze the
vulnerabilities identified in the previous action and see what OPSEC measures can be taken to
prevent the opportunity of the enemy getting information, and then those measures are selected for
execution based upon a risk assessment done by the commander and staff. Application of
appropriate OPSEC measures is when the command implements the OPSEC measures selected in
the assessment of risk, action, or in the case of planned future operations and activities, which
includes the measures in specific OPSEC plans. Assessment of Insider Knowledge is assessing and
ensuring employees, contractors, and key personnel having access to critical or sensitive

Ethical Dilemma In Social Work
Dual relationships are very controversial within all helping professions. It can bring positive and
negative components to a situation. There should always be a clear boundary and form of consent
and agreement set by the social worker, or any health service professional to their client. However
in some cases, it is vital for a client and work professionals to establish a relationship. This is an
important component for a successful session or procedure. In this paper, I will discuss the ethical
dilemma revealed between Dr. Green, the Psychologist and teacher, and the client, 19 year–old, Ava
Jones. Based upon Dr. Green's behavior, I consider her actions to be wrong but understandable.
Established by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics (COE), the
principle being compromised is the conflict of interest. Dr. Green initially formed a clear
relationship with her client when she was only her Psychologist. Dr. Green revealed to be placed
into her first ethical dilemma when she noticed that Ava enrolled in her Introduction to Psychology
class. At this time Dr. Green should have noticed the severity of the conflict of interest emerging.
She should have taken the correct steps to move forward. According to NASW COE, social workers
should be aware to avoid any conflicts of interest that interfere with their exercises (1.06a). Dr.
Green having Ava as her client and student creates a conflict of interest that interfered in both her
sessions and her classroom. Due to the NASW COE principal interest of conflict, Dr. Green should
continue to see Ava as her client, but not as her student in her class. In this case study it reveals that
Ava is currently coping through a tragedy. She lost both of her parents, she is dealing with
depression and has suicidal thoughts. Dr. Green is an individual in her life that brought her comfort
and stability. Ava believed that if it was not for Dr. Green, she could not get through her issues. The
case study later stated that Ava considered Dr. Green as a surrogate mother because she confided in
her. This is a key reason Dr. Green should keep Ava as a client. Ava sees Dr. Green as a great
resource in her life. Having Dr. Green as her Psychologist puts Ava's

this position as a ground–floor entry job into an exciting new concept in the hotel business were
disillusioned with the hotel's strategy.
The content of PVs' job were sustainable competitive advantages to other hotels at first; however, it
became one thing that PVs most complained.
Organization
The Portman Hotel sought to maximize service while minimizing management overhead; therefore,
they cut some middle management, such as the manager of food and beverages. Because of this
strategy, some top level managers had many more employees reporting to them directly. For
example, Spencer Scott, the director of room services, had over 60 personal valets reporting to him
directly when the hotel first opened. Exhibit 2 in the case study shows that the position of the
executive assistant manager was vacant. Some PVs and their supervisor blamed Scott for lack of
supervision because they thought he was too busy to know answer for every little question.

The Importance and Use of Disclosure
In this section we will introduce the background knowledge of our topic, and we will show the
motivation of this paper by discussing related prior literature.
A disclosure is additional information attached to an entity's financial statements, usually as an
explanation for activities, which have significantly influenced the entity's financial results. In the
United States, this disclosure is usually found in the notes of financial statements, and many also
can be found in the notes section of the corporate annual report. Basically, the purpose of accounting
disclosure is to inform both current and potential investors of the accounting strategies and methods
used when developing periodic corporate financial statements.
Through disclosure, there are several effects the management wants to reach. First, managers often
issue earnings forecasts to reduce information asymmetry and therefore influence their firm's stock
price (e.g., Nagar et al. 2003). Second, managers' forecast, particularly when they involve bad news,
is aimed at avoiding litigation or at least minimizing the cost of subsequent litigation. Field et al.
(200S) find that preemptive bad–news forecasts are useful in deterring certain types of lawsuits.
Third, analysts update their forecasts in response to firms' earnings forecasts and recent evidence
suggests that approximately 60 percent of analysts revise their forecasts within five days of
management guidance (Cotter et al. 2006). Kim and Verrecchia (1994)

The Invention Essay
So You've Just Come Up With A Million Dollar Idea – Now What?
While there is no set formula on how a would–be inventor can take their great idea from mind to
manufacturing, there are some things they must be aware of and some steps they simply must take
as they move forward. If you think you have one of those great ideas, set aside all celebrations for
the time being and start taking real action toward making the idea a productive and profitable
reality. Be warned, though: this isn't going to be easy.

spectacular fashion. An idea itself is worthless until proven in many ways, but that can be ... Show

When talking to potential partners, you're likely to get more valuable feedback on setting up a
company, manufacturing, distribution and other important elements of a startup.
A second (third, fourth and beyond) opinion should provide you with affirmation that your idea has
value, beyond what you've imagined thus far. These outside opinions help you to chisel your idea
into something with real–world applicability. Also, be prepared for the naysayers, who, although
discouraging at first, can also give you useful information.
3. Analyze Development And Production Costs
It's one thing to create a homemade prototype, quite another to put it into real production. How
much is it going to cost to perfect your prototype enough to actually manufacture it? How much will
it cost to produce each unit and who can handle that for you? Ideas are typically modified in the
development stage, meaning your original idea may evolve into something different or even spawn
two or more spinoff ideas, equally valuable and worth pursuing.
Although the technical aspects of bringing an invention to the production stage are tedious and
challenging, this is a crucial stage for you and will determine the economic feasibility of moving
forward. You need to figure out who you can trust, where your startup capital is going to come from
and whether or not you should form some type of company now. Depending on your educational

Jewelry Has A Strong Case Against Jennifer Lawson
Memo Introduction
In paper, Greene's Jewelry has a strong case against Jennifer Lawson because Jennifer breached the
confidentiality agreements that she signed with Greene's Jewelry. In the agreement, it specifically
indicated that Jennifer could never disclose any information regarding "Ever–Gold" creating
process, which is patented and owned by Greene's Jewelry. Jennifer not only stole a draft letter that
contains the details of creating Ever–Gold but also took it to Greene's competitor Howell Jewelry
World in order to obtain a job offer from the company. The employment contract that Jennifer
signed with Howell is a certain evidence of her unjust enrichment. Regarding Jennifer Lawson's
claim that she encountered wrongful termination at Greene's, it is simply a misinterpretation of
Greene's legitimate reduction in force. The company no longer had a need for any junior executive
secretaries. The downsizing was unfortunately but legal.
Facts and Laws
Jennifer alleges that she was terminated because of her pregnancy. She neglects the fact that
Greene's discharged her because her position, junior executive secretary, is redundant to the
company. It is transparently that Jennifer is a member of protected class and was dismissed. Yet
Greene's did not violate The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) under Title VII. According to
Title VII 42 U.S.C. § 2000e–2(a), it is an unlawful employment practice if an employer discharges
any individual because of such individual 's race,

1. In relation to your current business environment (or one that you are familiar with), identify at
least two different types of information technology that may be used when completing work tasks.
We use databases to manage our customers and our portfolio.
Our External sales people use mobile information technology to keep up to date with emails and to
produce quotes when out on the road.

We also receive other sensitive data via the post. We may have been asked to sign non–disclosure
agreements (NDA) particularly when it relates to company bank statements, unreleased accounts or
personal information on private individuals. Any information which is sent under an NDA is
scanned to the system into password protected files and only those who need to look at the
information have the password to. Once scanned the information is shredded to ensure it cannot be
used further. We would keep this on file in the password protected folder (which states information
under an NDA) for seven years or indefinitely.
In a similar way information gathered by email would be treated exactly the same as the paper
copies except where shredding is mentioned for obvious reasons.
3b) When following the procedures outlined in Question 3a above, are there any legal requirements
to consider?
We have to consider the data protection act when dealing with information at work as it is usually
sensitive information about individuals or companies finances. We also be bound by non–disclosure
agreements. We also have to follow the seven years rule for keeping information as we are a
financial services company.

Confidentiality is critical when managing information because not all information is suitable for all

Nt1310 Week 1 Communication
Lecture Week One Homework
Question One:
1) The first common communication misbelief is that communication only exists to exchange
information between two communicators. Though in some conversations the rapid exchange of
information is essential, often times the relational content of a message is significantly more
important that the content component. For instance, after a dog that I walked for six years passed
away I asked the owner, "how are you feeling" and gave her a hug. I did not ask the question or hug
her to gain useful information, but as an attempt to connect with the owner and to make her realize
that I care. I wanted to show her that I was also mourning her deceased dog and that she was not
alone.
2) The second communication misconception is the more communication the clearer the message is
transmitted. It is a well know fact that too little communication can be disastrous, but few are aware
that too much communication can be just as deadly. Talking too much can both be unproductive by
wasting time, and can exasperate a problem. For example, when my friend and I went to Spain on a
school trip and we were trying to pay for our coffee in Spanish, the waiter misunderstood what we
were trying to say and thought that we wanted two more coffees. No matter how much we tried to
clearly communicate in both Spanish and English we could not solve our problem. After the 5th
time we tried to communicate the waiter got frustrated, and we ended up drinking the two extra

Working For A Business Or Starting A New One Essay
"Working for a business or starting a new one "is a debatable issue that has been raging for many
decades, with no end in sight. In the simplest form some people don't prefer to be controlled by
someone or routine work and some others can accept that! They don't prefer to take a risk of starting
their own businesses. Opposers suggest that you 'll actually consider the beginning of your startup to
a greater extent a side interest than a living, and you 'll be less inspired to sustain it to realization.
Instead of being inspired by the swim–or–sink nature of small size business, your well–being net
will keep you from completely rationally putting resources into your undertaking. Taking work at
your beginning can likewise negatively affect your execution at your full–time job. In the case that
you find yourself occupied with new thoughts or staying up throughout the night to finish some
tasks at some feature of the business, you won 't have the capacity to give your full thoughtfulness
regarding your occupation. In the end, your bosses will see, and you could end up losing your well–
being net out and out. Alternately, on the off chance that you can juggle both enterprise and a full–
time work, your family and individual lives might endure. All things considered, if your just time to
deal with your side business is on weeknights and weekends, when will you invest energy with
loved ones? It 's a noteworthy weight to tackle both without a moment 's delay. Numerous

Unlawful Termination: New Hampshire is considered to be a "work at will" state. Which means an
employee can be terminated at any time for any reason. Of course there are exceptions to this rule,
specifically regarding the following acts, which are pertinent to Lawson's termination. New
Hampshire is covered under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN)
Act. Greene's falls under the WARN act since it employs more than 100 full time employees, or 100
employees that work a combined 4000 hours a week. WARN explicitly states that if a reduction of
33% or more of employees are laid off in a 90 day period, then a 60 day notice is required. New
Hampshire also has its own mini WARN Act, which covers the same basic principles with some
slight alterations to suite smaller businesses. In either case Greene's falls under both the federal and
New Hampshire's WARN act. New Hampshire also falls under the federal Family and Medical
Leave Act (FMLA), which states that once the employee meets certain criteria that employee is
allowed to take up to 12 weeks of leave every 12 months to recuperate from serious health
conditions,

Full Disclosure Principle
The full disclosure principle states that any future event that may or will occur, and thatwill have a
material economic impact on the financial position of the business, should be disclosed to probable
and potential readers of the statements. Such disclosures are most frequently made by footnotes. For
example, a hotel should report the building of a new wing, or the future acquisition of another
property. A restaurant facing a lawsuit from a customer who was injured by tripping over a frayed
carpet edge should disclose the contingency of the lawsuit. Similarly, if accounting practices of the
current financial statements were changed and differ from those previously reported, the changes
should be disclosed. Changes from one period to the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
When firms enter new markets or businesses, the way they structure these new businesses can result
in greater complexity and less transparency. For instance, a firm that keeps each business separate
will be easier to value than one that squeezes all the businesses into a single entity.
The cause of poor transparency, however, is less important than its effect on a company 's ability to
give investors the critical information they need to value their investments. If investors neither
believe nor understand financial statements, the performance and fundamental value of that
company remains either irrelevant or distorted. Mounting evidence suggests that the market gives a
higher value to firms that are upfront with investors and analysts. Transparency pays, companies
with fuller disclosure win more trust from investors. Relevant and reliable information means less
risk to investors and thus a lower cost of capital, which naturally translates into higher valuations.
Of course, there are two ways to interpret this evidence. One is that the market rewards more
transparent companies with higher valuations because the risk of unpleasant surprises is believed to
be lower. The other interpretation is that companies with good results usually release their earnings
earlier. Companies that are doing well have nothing to hide and are eager to publicize their good
performance. It is in their best

The power of time management skills as a predictor of Personal Success suggests its importance in

balance between work, family, and school, is crucial in one's ongoing career as a full–time student.
Physical and mental health are very important in maintaining a positive and forward thinking
outlook. As noted by George, Stansal, Gelb, and Pheri (2008), "health–related variables (healthy
diet, quality of overall health) played a surprisingly powerful role as predictors of success" (pg.
714). Maintaining your health and mental wellbeing can be beneficial at keeping stress at bay. In
several studies, stress emerged as an important variable with relationships to grade point average
(GPA) and intent to persist along with goal commitment. College students with lower levels of
academic stress and more satisfaction with their academic experiences also manage their time well
(P., Newbold, & Mehta, 2011). Maintaining good sleep patterns can help keep students alert
when working on schoolwork. Staying healthy can help with stress management, which in turn, can
help with family life and make things at home easier and less stressful. With less stress at home,
education goals are easier to accomplish.

Summaries of non–disclosure agreement
A non–disclosure agreement (NDA), also known as a confidentiality agreement (CA), is a legitimate
contract between no less than two that frameworks secret material, learning, or information that the
parties wish to impart to each other for specific purposes, yet wish to limit access to or by outsiders.
It is an agreement through which the parties concur not to unveil information secured by the

Financial Statement Disclosure Notes Under Us Gaap Essay
Financial statement Disclosure Notes under US GAAP
Financial statement Disclosure Notes under US GAAP the full disclosure principle is one of the
basic accounting principles, which is an exchange of all material information integral to financial
information for the company. Companies should provide disclosure notes when they provide the
financial statement. Full disclosure notes give full information about the statements for investors
and creditors to make decisions because this note is connected with the financial statements. And
also, the notes help for managerial decisions for the next plan year. All United States companies
follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) disclosure rules. Under US GAAP the
required disclosures are the summary of significant accounting policy, subsequent event, and related
party transaction.
The purpose of US GAAP disclosure notes is to make sure all business entities should run smoothly,
legally, and they should apply the right way of accounting practices in the business. Furthermore,
companies enable to provide additional, new, interested and fact information for external and
internal users. Because of that US GAAP requires the full disclosure notes. Companies enable to
provide all significant issues of the effect and affect of financial activities of the business. Users
easily understand significant accounting policies in the financial statements.

The Pros And Cons Of Biogen Insufficiency
One issue to can be traced to Lidaret,[ ] is the idea of disclosure in a patent design specification and
this is as a result of the law of insufficiency; the concern of the patentee's is to make available in a
contractual sense a quid pro quo for patent monopoly to the public at large.[ ] This universal theory
model of insufficiency later advanced and recognised by the United kingdom and further shaped its
Statutory Law.[ ] which raises appositely as a ground for revocation the law of insufficiency.[ ] The
prerequisite of this is that any claim of invention shall establish an enabling disclosure in a patent
specification[ ] and therefore, a requirement is considered lacking if a person skilled in the art that

Kitchen J, the learned friend of Lord Hoffman therefore got it wrong and erred when he likened the
germane technical contribution to the process rather than to the product, for the reason that the
Biogen insufficiency does not relate and apply to simple product claims in which the technical
contribution of the invention is the product itself,[ ] even in a situation where there is only a method
is there to create it, is made available and shown in the patent specification.[ ] With regards to the
Biogen insufficiency, Lord Hoffman clarified further that the legal provisions and the EPC statutes
mentioned earlier will not certainly lead to the assumption and conclusion that simple product
claims must as well aid and support all other methods and processes of creating the product.[

It was already 72 degrees when Astrid Young pulled into the parking lot at the Western
Oceanography Institute (WOI). The radio announcer was reminding listeners to leave out extra
water for their pets because the temperature was going to be in the high 90s for the third straight
day. Young made a mental note to call her husband, Jon, when she got to her office and make sure
that he left plenty of water outside for their cat, Figaro. Young was three–quarters of the way
through the Microsoft NT conversion project. Yesterday had been a disaster, and she was
determined to get back on top of things.

Astrid Young was a 27–year–old graduate of Western State University (WSU) with a B.S. degree ...
She looked forward to the day when she could spend more time on fun projects like that.
Young had a part–time team of five student assistants from the computer science department. At
first she was not sure how freely she could delegate work to the students, and she closely supervised
their work. She quickly realized that they were all very bright, competent workers who were
anxious to leverage this work experience into a lucrative career upon graduation. She admitted that
she sometimes had a hard time relating to students who were preoccupied with fraternity bashes and
X–games. She lost her temper only once, and that was at Samantha Eggert for failing to set up an
adequate virus screening system that would have prevented the Internet corruption that occurred.

use is breast milk substitutes for infant formula has been going on for years now. In the past there
has been facts proving that infant formula has caused illness and deaths worldwide. I see this type of

see how many women breastfeed, to see the quantity of women that do care for. I have set up a
survey of a sample of a 100 mothers and asked two questions if you have breastfeed or if you have
not? I had attached a second section asking if the mother is married or single, attending college or
not, and their age. This survey was done by paper, interviews, and online. I choose different type of
women from different type of ethnicity ad places like relatives, friends, school, coworkers, and
random people from social media. Low percentage of mother's breastfeed. The first question the
participant mothers were asked was if they have breastfeed? As shown on Figure 1.1, the results
revealed that only 15% of women in the study breastfeed their babies. I was very shocked of the low
percentage. This question is the conclusion to my research because I'm trying to figure out why
women don't breastfeed. The women that were married and not working or only working part time
tend to breastfeed. As it is rare for women to be married and only focusing on the household, the

Assuming that the contingent liability can be reasonably estimated, it would be appropriate to
recognize a liability on a proportionate share. Failure to accrue annually a proportionate share of the
contractual obligation to recondition and restore the property at the termination of the lease would
result in a misstatement of the results of operations during each of the first seven years of the lease
and a much larger misstatement in the last year. Accompanying notes should be used if the account
