Innovation and Competitive Advantage on Changing Environments Any business need to create ways to have competitive advantages as this is the only way it can remain relevant and competitive despite the strong competition in the sector of specialization. According to Hisrich (2014), “working towards achieving a competitive advantage should be the core goal within the management philosophy.” The more reason is that lack of competitive advantages exposes a business to even slightest competition and the business can be easily locked out of business. In the present world, there are a high number of companies that have succeeded in boosting their competitive advantages. As a matter of reality, such companies have managed to be ahead of competition and competition sees them as roles models to the point of trying to copy their operation strategies. One of such companies is the General Motors Company which is the global leader in the automotive industry. Over the years, General Motors has managed to increase its global market share due to the enormous competitive advantages that the company has managed to build and maintain. The main focus of this essay shall be to explore the General Motors competitive advantages and how the company manages to retain them. Secondly, the essay shall review General Motors organizational leadership philosophy on innovation applied by the company as well as activities that the company takes an active part in to sustain its competitive advantage. Lastly, the essay shall review the research and development initiatives that are employed for long-term competitive advantage. General Motors was established in 1908 under the leadership of Billy Durant. The company was formed as a consolidation of several motor vehicle companies namely Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, Oakland, Ewing, Marquette, and other autos as well as Reliance and Rapid trucks. General Motors headquarters is in Detroit, Michigan, United States but currently, the company has a lot of subsidiaries and outlets all over the world. This is to mean that the company products are sold across the board by different General Motors dealers and offices as they are established in almost all countries. Since General Motors establishment it has had different individuals taking leadership positions. However, the initial founders developed an innovation philosophy that is applied by all leaders heading the company outlets in different locations across the globe. This innovative philosophy is that the world is an ever-changing thing and that people need quality, stylish, and modern motor vehicles (Greer, 2012). Hence, the company believes that for it to remain competitive in the automobile industry, it must offer the market with the most unique, high-quality, durable, and diverse motor vehicles. The company embraces innovation as this is the only way that new design of products that are unique and meets the clients’ needs can be developed (Hisrich, 2014). The leadership also ha ...

Discuss the following questions: What kind(s) of information does each firm include in their ethical statements or documentation? Is there a designated team or governing structure that oversees ethics for each of the firms? What messages are the firms attempting to send to their employees?

The Changing Environment Organizations are now operating in a highly competitive environment that can be characterized in terms of increasing risk, limited ability to forecast, fluid organizational and industry boundaries, new structures and systems that permit and create change, and more diverse customer demands and expectations. No organization is isolated from the external environment, and there is continuous pressure to adapt and change if they are to survive and grow. The external environment includes everything outside the organization, including the political, economic, social, technological, regulatory, competitive, supplier, and customer environments. The level and pace of change is significantly greater than ever before, which has important implications for organizations and how they are managed. Collectively, changes in the environment create important consequences for the development and management of products, markets, and organizational capabilities. As external environments become more complex, dynamic, and turbulent, it also means that there are alternative opportunities. The rapid pace of change is emerging from new markets, technologies, economic conditions, demographic patterns, globalization, and the knowledge economy. Organizations now need to be more innovative than ever. While these changes eliminate some innovations and entrepreneurial activities, they open up opportunities for others. New markets mean new opportunities, and new technologies create new competencies. Some organizations aim to protect themselves against external threats and changing conditions. Others embrace the potential opportunities that can be found as a result of the threat. In today's environment, to sustain competitive advantage, organizations need to recognize that customer groupings are more differentiated and competition has intensified. Change in one area such as technological advancement and development has resulted in changes in other areas such as more intensified competition as customers have access to a much broader and diverse group of companies to buy goods. For example, originally Google was a search engine; currently it has the world's leading mobile platform in Android and provides a strong alternative to Facebook in Google+. Amazon originally sold books; now it sells services competing with Apple iOS devices and Android. Apple originally sold computers and MP3 players; now it sells phones and tablets, dominating the market with the iPhone and the launch of the iPhone 4S, which introduced a new approach to search technology with Siri, its voice-activated search and task-completion service built in. Apple's iPhone 4S Siri voice search has intensified competition for Google. More recently, Apple launched the iPhone 5 and iPad mini, which emphasizes the significant pace of innovation necessary in the technology industry to stay competitive. Facebook provided the most disruptive web platform since Google's search engine. With 1.06 billi.

Think about your reaction to the different forms of each resource and what it might mean for you as a learner. Consider how humans use their perspective to understand new experiences by imagining details of a story. Since technology has made it easier to share visual versions, does that impact our need to “see to believe” or influence how easily we understand without a visual? Have you ever had the experience of being given false information about a new situation? Or changing your mind about something with growing evidence?

REVIEW both post 100 words each, add more information to the topic if necessary, do them separate APA format, site source, 1. I own a 75 gallon, saltwater fish tank. In that tank we have fish, crabs, shrimp, snails and corals. In order to keep these creatures alive and growing, its important to have the correct lighting, temperature and food source. Zooplankton plays an important role in keeping an aquarium healthy. Zooplankton ; whose name drives from a Greek word meaning "drifter", are small floating organisms that drift around in water current. Corals, mussels and various other filter-feeders eat zooplankton . Zooplankton are eaten by small fish, which are then eaten by bigger fish, as the chain continues. Zooplankton have three major groups; crusacea , rotifers , and protozoas . All play an important role in fresh and saltwater ecosystems. Zooplankton measure between two micrometers and up to 8 inches in length . Some z ooplankton have adapted mechanisms to deter fish from eating then. They have adapted things like transparent bodies, bad tastes, and cyclomorphosis ; which allows them to release chemicals into the water to signal other zooplankton that predators are nearby. Most zooplankton are herbivores and eat phytoplankton and algae. Others species of zooplankton eat the parasites of larger animals, such as fish. Zooplankton are sensitive to temperature changes, oxygen depletion, toxic chemicals, and other environmental issues. Because of this, scientists can use them as first indicators of environmental quality and ecological changes on our planet. Though small, these tiny creatures bridge the gap between algae and bigger organisms. Many of today's creatures in our planets oceans wouldn't grow and/or survive if it weren't for zooplankton . 2. One animal organism that I found interesting was the species of multicellular Nematodes. Nematodes are the most plentiful multicellular animals on the planet. They are everywhere; in soil and on decomposing material, from the cold environments to the tropics, in all plant life, in almost all animals, including humans, and also insects (“Information”, 2016). Nematodes are non- segmented roundworms that possess complete digestive, excretory, nervous and reproductive systems (“Information”, 2016). Most are microscopic. The diversity of nematode forms and territories are incredible: there are more than 15,000 known species, can you imagine that! They infect everything from bugs to whales to humans. Nematodes can take the energy of living organism and cause serious diseases, even kill humans and animals. There are other nematode parasites in humans that are transmitted by eating meat that is not cooked adequately, or through contact with soil or water contaminated with feces, from humans or animals (Hay, 2016). The nematode organism known as” Wuchereria bancrofti ” can cause damages to the lymphatic system and causes debilitating inflammations in different parts .

Revenue Recognition and Operating Income – How does each firm recognize revenue and how does its revenue recognition policies compare to its competitors? Is there evidence of aggressive revenue recognition? Consider the firm’s operating income and how it has been affected by “above the line” items including research and development expenses, restructuring costs, income taxes and foreign currency translation. Consider “below the line” components to income including discontinued operations and extraordinary items. Examine earnings per share and the impact of dilution from new shares (and potential new shares) and the anti-dilution effects of share buy-backs. Finally, consider the “quality of earnings” of your firms. I need the question above answered for Nutrisystems .

This what the teacher wrote to Dear Eliie2121, Apparently you have a challenge with your composition skills. You have good ideas but you are having trouble expressing them. I would suggest that you go to the Writing Center and get some assistance. I am not an English instructor but there are so many errors in your writing that it is my feeling that you need this writing assistance. Even in this email to me there are numerous errors of grammar. I am going to write your question over correctly so that you can see the errors. Please look carefully at the punctuation I have added and the changes. So, in answer to your initial question here, you need to write better and be aware of what you are writing (as I pointed out in my post response to you). So, if I am reading your response to my discussion question, is it not what you wanted me to write or is it that I see things differently on the questions? Please let me know one way or another so that I can make corrections on it. On your paper there were missing commas, incorrect capitalization, missing words, plurals needed, etc. Hopefully, you can see that some assistance is needed. I am here to assist you and this is the best advice I can give you so that you can be successful in graduate school and in your teaching career.

Response to this discussion post with at least 200 words. Needs refernece to back up response The United States maintains a complex network of law enforcement agencies at the local, state and federal levels. These agencies have varying degrees of specialty and work closely with one another and the courts. Functions performed by the levels of police agencies in the United States run a gamut, from preventing the importation of illegal drugs to ensuring the safety of students at universities. The role of a police agency depends upon its location and jurisdiction. many as 23,000 local and state police agencies exist in the United States as of 2011, depending upon the method of counting them. Types of police agencies under state jurisdiction include local township or city police forces, state police, countrywide sheriff's offices, state highway patrols and constables. The structure and levels of state police agencies differs in each state. Hawaii, for instance, maintains no state police force per Se, but rather a Department of Public Safety. In most states, sheriffs serve as elected officials and act as political liaisons between state governments and police agencies. Various agencies perform specialized police functions at state level. Fish and game wardens, for instance, enforce hunting, fishing, boating laws. According to O'Connor, 35 U.S. states invest independent agencies such as the Department of Criminal Investigations, Department of Motor Vehicles and Alcohol Beverage Control with special, limited powers of law enforcement and investigation. These agencies enforce laws within their jurisdiction, often with the cooperation of other police agencies. Other special divisions of police agencies include K-9 units, which work with police dogs, HAZMAT units, which handle hazardous materials and SWAT, or special tactical units. References Lemieux, F.

Response 1: Systems Perspective and Social Change Read a selection of your colleagues' posts. Respond to at least two colleagues in one of the following ways: Critique your colleague's suggestion about how to apply a systems perspective to Lester Johnson's case. Identify one way that a concept in your colleague's post might contribute towards advocacy and social change. Discuss how you might apply the empowerment and strengths approach to one of the concepts your colleague has presented. Be sure to support your responses with specific references to the resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full APA-formatted citations for your references. Colleague 1: Julia ‪ When working with clients, there are many factors at play that not only formed the client in their early years, but also influence them now. The factors that influence them now can include: family, living situation, job situation, friends, religious community, etc. These factors can all influence how a social worker can assist in intervening in a client’s life. Each of these factors can also be included in different systems that influence the client (Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman, 2016). Let us take, for example, the case of Lester. Lester was an independent member in his community, church community, and was able to handle his life all by himself. However, after an automobile accident, Lester has done a 180 and can no longer clothe or clean himself (Plummer, Makris, and Brocksen, 2014). This is where systems perspective comes in: what systems in Lester’s life can the social worker use to assist Lester? From the case study, we know that Lester is close with his family, but his sister-in-law has really stepped up to the plate in helping with Lester’s care. Because of Lester’s connections with his religious community, they may be relied on for resources. Lester’s children have not been involved really at all, so they should not be counted on as a system on which Lester can rely (Plummer, Makris, and Brocksen, 2014). Lester will have to have new systems created for him, as he cannot create them for himself anymore. As a social worker, it is crucial to know the systems on which a client can rely. System Theory is a good theory because of its ability to be used with any client. Knowing what resources are available to a client, as well as their interactions with those resources, is key in creating a treatment plan for the client. Plummer, S. -B., Makris, S., & Brocksen, S. M. (Eds.). (2014). Working with People with Disabilities: The Case of Lester. Social work case studies: Foundation year. Baltimore, MD: Laureate International Universities Publishing.

Response 1: The Aging Process Respond to at least two colleague's post in one of the following ways: o From a strength's perspective, critique your colleague's approach to addressing Francine's case. Provide support for your critique. o Critique your colleague's strategy for applying knowledge of the aging process to work with older clients. Discuss how cultural, ethnic, and societal influences might affect the application of this strategy. Be sure to support your responses with specific references to the resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full APA-formatted citations for your references. Colleague 1:BM As individuals enter the stage of late adulthood, their previous experiences, lifestyle and relationships help determine what, indeed, this stage will entail (Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman, 2016). In this week’s case study, 70- year-old Francine sought counseling for symptoms of depression, directly related to the loss of her partner of thirty years, Joan (Plummer, Makris and Brocksen, 2014). Since Francine’s family and loved ones were unaware of the extent of the the relationship between Francine and Joan, Francine did not have the necessary support as she navigated her way through her grieving process. She started drinking alcohol more often, after several years of sobriety (Plummer, et. al., 2014). It can be assumed that Francine’s relationship with Joan, spanning thirty years, has certainly influenced her aging process. In long-term relationships, such as this one, individuals identify as being half of a partnership, as opposed to their individual beings (Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman, 2016). These defining relationships allow for individuals to feel supported and share experiences throughout their daily lives. This relationship is at the crux of Francine’s being, and although her partner has passed, its value can be utilized to help Francine cope with the loss and navigate through the remainder of her life. Additionally, Francine’s extensive experience within the workforce will also positively contribute to her aging process. Throughout these years, Francine’s interaction with people, both professionally and socially, have helped to promote a healthy inner being. While she may not be feeling sociable after Joan’s passing, referencing her forty year career will be a helpful tool for her clinician. The case study mapped out the positive aspects in Francine’s life beautifully. Despite the depression she is currently experiencing, employing a Strength Based Perspective, focusing on her resiliency, would be an appropriate and effective method to help Francine achieve her most positive outcomes (Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman, 2016). Francine has shown a tremendous capacity throughout her life in identifying and removing the triggers causing harmful behaviors; this awareness resulted in many years of sobriety (Plummer, et. al., 2014). Furthermore, Francine, despite her current depressive state, ha.

Provide support for your critique. o Critique your colleague's strategy for applying social and emotional intelligence to the case of Andres. Provide support for your critique. o Critique your colleague's suggestion for how to apply an understanding of social and emotional intelligence to social work practice in general. Provide support for your critique. Be sure to support your responses with specific references to the resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full APA-formatted citations for your references. Colleague 1: T During the time (6 years ago) when Andres was exiting middle adulthood and enter late adulthood, he was transitioning from a period of stability to a period of instability (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014). Major changes were ahead that would hit Andres hard. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs can be used to describe Andres past and present emotional and intellectual state. Prior to Andres diagnosis of a brain tumor and Parkinson’s disease, he achieved all of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Andres, physiological, safety, belongingness, self-esteem, and self-actualization needs were met. He was married, had children and grandchildren, had a great career, plenty of friends, and exercised daily. (Plummer et al, 2014). According to Maslow “When people fulfill the most elemental needs, they strive to meet those on the next level, and so forth, until the highest order of needs is reached (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2016, p. 505). Emotionally and intellectually Andres was in a good place. Now, at the age of 68, he has disabilities and has lost most of his independence. He tries to de independent, but has injured himself several times. Activities as basic as eating and bathing unassisted are forever changed. Andres has lost his independence and has become depressed as he realizes more and more that his life is forever altered. “He now uses a cane and walker to ambulate. His speech is slow and soft. He requires assistance to get dressed and eat at times due to severe tremors and the loss of dexterity in his hands” (Plummer et al, 2014). His safety needs were not being met, especially due to his instability, disabilities, and other medical conditions. This has resulted in a lack of belongingness, low-self-esteem, and no self-actualization. But over time Andres started to accept who he has become. Even though Andres hated asking for help, he realized that asking for assistance could have prevented some of the falls and injuries (Plummer et al, 2014). Andres, accepted the help of the social worker, accepted some help from family, realized that he could not change what has happened to him, and even reclaimed some of the friendships he once had with colleagues.

Be sure to support your blog posts with specific references to this week's resources and provide full APA citations for your references. Colleague 1: Carolyn An explanation of potential challenges in adhering to confidentiality in your field education experience My field education experience is called “brighter future”. It is an agency that most of the employee are related. And so part of their confidently is made sure that they do not share information. A description of agency policies or mandates about confirms to evidentiality Today at my field placement, we discuss the important of confidentiality. According to my agency policies, we have to make sure that everything we do is kept confidential. For example, I was observing and learning how to input documents into the computer. I found out that, everyone in the agency is required to keep every file, everything they do about that client has to be protected. The files that inputted in the computer were also kept manually and under the table so that no one would know about their client’s names. Discussing any client outside the office was a no-no. They were also required not to address any problem faced by the clients until they have any a consent letter from the client. An explanation of potential challenges in communicating with clients within your agency The challenges that I see with confidentiality within this agency is how they interact with each other. Some of the confidential information is shared throughout the agency and take lightly as a joke. I think it’s about time for all employee to come together and be supportive of this little fella who wanted a bike but lack of financial report Reference: Saxon, C., Jacinto, G. A., & Dziegielewski, S. F. (2006). Self-determination and confidentiality: The ambiguous nature of decision-making in social work practice.

Colleague 2: Melissa With the place that I am working at Paso Del Norte Children’s Development Center, I am working in a variety of places that require different safety plans. The number one rule is to always sit by the door and have the client sit in front of u while the door is behind you. This is in order to prevent any type of danger that may occur. The bright side about working with clients that are in our organization is that these clients are willing to meet with us. It is important to keep note that these clients are in need of help and come to us in order to get help with behavioral, students with special needs, or other specific behavior’s that kids need help with. There are also a number of speech therapists that work within the building and help the kids overcome their fears or behavior patterns when dealing with this issue. If the soc.

Westat (2010) says the two reasons program evaluation exists, as written for the National Science Foundation, is to “improve a project” and “document what has been achieved” (p. 3). The most consistent with my interest is program improvement. For instance, we had four different in-service courses with the same course information. An evaluation was passed out to the students at the end of the course to provide their opinion of the course. The comments prompted the instructors to redesign four courses into one. Evaluations are essential tool in Corrections because it allows us to document our achievements, which will result in data to support our reentry programs. References: Westat, J. F. (Ed.). (2010).

The overarching idea behind program evaluation is to ascertain if those who should benefit from the program are actually benefiting and if those performing the services to the community are skilled at providing the services. Another important aspect of program evaluation is to determine whether the allocated resources for the services are sufficient for addressing the needs of the population (The Program Manager’s Guide to Evaluation, 2010). In looking at this week’s resources, Langbein (2012) identifies some distinct differences between program and project (p.3). A program is described as “ongoing services or activities” (Langbein, 2012, p. 3) while projects are intended to be one-time activities that has long-lasting sustainable impact on communities (p. 3). Thus, program evaluations should help determine the extent of a program’s success or lack thereof (what works and what does not work) as well as provide insight on navigating areas where unexpected circumstances occur (Westat, 2010). In short, program evaluations provide managers and administrators the data needed to prove or disprove the value of a program which ultimately impac.
