Scenario Tom owned a house set on 1 acre of land that he wanted t.docx
Scenario:
Tom owned a house set on 1 acre of land that he wanted to sell when he retired in April, 2013. On April 1, 2012, Mary and Tom orally agreed that Mary would purchase Tom's house and 1 acre of land for $350,000 cash on April 15, 2013. In the meantime, Mary and Tom agreed that Tom would continue to own and live on the property. On April 15, 2013, Mary presented Tom with a cashier's check for $350,000 for the house and Tom transferred the deed to the house and land to Mary in her name. Mary and Tom properly filed all the documents necessary for the closing on the real estate sale.

Scenario Kforce, Inc. is a top professional staffing agency. They.docx
Scenario:
Kforce, Inc. is a top professional staffing agency. They have been selected to assist the Mayo Clinic in hiring a system-wide CIO (chief information officer) due to the difficulty the human resources division has had trying to fill this job.
There is a purpose for using outside agencies, such as employment agencies, search firms, and other third party recruiters. These helpers assist the company, for a fee, to find enough special candidates to select the right new hire typically for a hard-to-fill opening or high-level opening. Using an agency is outsourcing some of the staffing process. As such, the human resources person or a top manager works closely with the agency to provide the search consultant with all needed information about the job opening so that the headhunter can conduct a concise search and deliver the most qualified and interested people to be considered.
After reading this case study, conduct independent research to help support your paper. Describe the benefits of the external recruitment process from both the employer side and the search consultant side. Then in a 2 - 3 page paper address the following:
Provide an overview of the search firm function - BOLD HEADER
Identify the 3 key issues involved in performing this type of search BOLD HEADER
Explain how headhunting works.
Describe the difference between retained search and contingency search; which would be best for this case opening?
How will the headhunter find applicants?
What will the headhunter do to convince the applicants they are perfect for the job to get their interest in being considered?

Be sure to use APA style with at least two sources cited
ADDTITIONAL SUPPORTING INFO:
Module 03 - Sourcing and Staffing Plans
An old saying in marketing: "Half of my advertising is wasted. The problem is I don't know which half." This describes the recruiter's challenge when trying to attract active and passive job seekers, and still be timely and cost-effective.
Sourcing
is like finding the best fishing spots. Internal recruiters focus first on active job seekers when charged with a position to fill, such as employees who may want to change jobs and applicants who are on file. They will use job postings, employee referrals, job fairs, schools, search consultants (for hard-to-fill jobs), walk-ins and want ads. Search consultants, also known as
"headhunters"
, research, target, and contact passive job seekers. They want to "sell" happy employees at companies and convince them to consider exploring new career options at another company. They use personal relationships, industry contacts, blind ads, resumes posted on job boards, cold calling, and professional association membership sites and rosters. Sourcing is a "find and convert" game. Ideally, enough applicants are found so as to have a choice in the selection process.

Scenario A
Consider a time when you had the experience of being led by someone who was able to get you to achieve more than you thought you could. Based on what you learned about leadership styles, describe events examining how your selected leader worked by certain principles. In addition, report details of an event demonstrating how you were led to perform.
On the basis of the above scenario, answer the following questions:
What style did the leader exhibit? Describe events pointing out how your selected leader worked by certain principles.
Report details of the scenario demonstrating how you were led to perform.
How did you improve your overall attitude and motivation based on a supportive leader in the workplace?
Positive influence can help team members develop their skills and knowledge. Do you agree to this statement? Why and how?
How does working in a positive organization with supportive leadership encourage staff performance at work each day?
What leadership skills will you take from your positive experience and use when you are in a leadership position?
Scenario B
Now, recall a time when you were led by someone who could not motivate you. Describe events pointing out how your selected leader's working style made subordinates feel uncomfortable.
On the basis of the above scenario, answer the following questions:
What style did the leader exhibit? Describe events pointing out your selected leader's leadership style.
Report details of the scenario demonstrating how you were led in his or her team.
How did the manager's action make you feel? Explain.
Which leadership behaviors do you think your selected leader lacked? Do you think the leader had ever had a chance to learn about leadership styles?
How important is it for a leader to be trained to guide and motivate the staff members to enhance team unity, enthusiasm, and positive attitudes?
What role should the individual staff member have to motivate himself or herself instead of relying on a manager?
EXPECTANCY THEORY
One widely cited theory of motivation is Victor Vroom’s (
1964
) Expectancy Theory (also referred to as the VIE Theory). Expectancy Theory suggests that for any given situation, the level of a person’s motivation (force in Vroom’s conceptualization) with respect to performance is dependent upon (1) his or her desire for an outcome; (2) the perception that individual’s job performance is related to obtaining other desired outcomes; and (3) the perceived probability that his or her effort will lead to the required performance. The theory may be expressed as M = V × I × E (see
Figure 6–1
).
Vroom (
1964
) explains that the force that drives a person to perform is dependent upon three factors: valence, instrumentality, and expectancy (pp. 15–19).
Valence
is the strength of an individual’s want or need, or dislike, for a particular outcome. An outcome has a positive valence when the person prefers attaining it to not attaining it, a valence of zero when the person is in.
Scenario Additional DetailsHealth Care HQ has a client–server net.docx
Scenario: Additional Details
Health Care HQ has a client–server network architecture. The chief information officer (CIO) wants to understand the difference between a client–server and a peer-to-peer network. She also wants to know why she should choose one over the other. You have been asked to provide a document that discusses the networks at Health Care HQ.
Comprehensive Analysis and Review
In a document of 2–3 pages, you will provide the following:
Explain a peer-to-peer network verses a client–server network. Because your system is strictly Windows, your document should concentrate on the networking features of Windows Server (e.g., file sharing, print sharing, user administration, application server, Dynamic host configuration protocol [DHCP], domain name system [DNS], and backing up data).
Include a recommendation about which Microsoft server Health Care HQ should use (i.e., Windows 2008 or Windows 2012), and explain your choice.

EXPECTANCY THEORY
One widely cited theory of motivation is Victor Vroom’s (
1964
) Expectancy Theory (also referred to as the VIE Theory). Expectancy Theory suggests that for any given situation, the level of a person’s motivation (force in Vroom’s conceptualization) with respect to performance is dependent upon (1) his or her desire for an outcome; (2) the perception that individual’s job performance is related to obtaining other desired outcomes; and (3) the perceived probability that his or her effort will lead to the required performance. The theory may be expressed as M = V × I × E (see
Figure 6–1
).
Vroom (
1964
) explains that the force that drives a person to perform is dependent upon three factors: valence, instrumentality, and expectancy (pp. 15–19).
Valence
is the strength of an individual’s want or need, or dislike, for a particular outcome. An outcome has a positive valence when the person prefers attaining it to not attaining it, a valence of zero when the person is in.

Abstract
Bloodstream infections refer to the infections that occur in the healthcare facilities and they are the new infections that are acquired within the facility. These infections lead to hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality in hemodialysis patients. There are about 30,100 reported incidences of infections in the United States. The bloodstream infections are caused by the equipment being used by the healthcare providers for example the surgical equipment, the environment of the facility, and the healthcare workers or patients who transmit such infection to the other. The paper aimed at discussing the adherence or the practices recommended by the CDC to help in the prevention and reduction of the bloodstream infection in hemodialysis patients. The CDC proposed some interventions to be followed in the reduction of these infections. These included the provision of the feedback, surveillance, audit of the hygi.

1. INTRODUCTION
Knowledge remains one of the most significant resource for any given firm (Grant, 1996a: 375). New knowledge is essential in all organizations, it contributes to the innovation, organizational change, cost-reduction routine performance and their survival. Knowledge provides the organization the opportunities to improve their capacity and their market position. Nowadays strategic alliance has become a common cooperation form in the modern economy. In the past years, strategic alliances have significantly increased, since 1900 strategic alliances have increased by more than 25 per cent annually. (Andrew, 1998) Organizations recognized the importance of the strategic alliance, which is during the strategic alliance, knowledge exchange occurs in each party. Because of this, more and more organizations increase their motivation to do strategic alliances with other parties in order to get the benefits associated with knowledge exchange. Alliances are offer ways in which organizations can make proper use of their strengths by the help of their partners. Different organizations have different knowledge and skills. Therefore, alliances are unique avenues through which organizations can work together, share this knowledge and unlock their potentials (Hamel et al., 1989). Comment by Author: Clear introduction. Perhaps for the section on knowledge you can include a reference. Comment by Author: Here I would also include a reference, I think this is a clear intro as to why organizations aim for strategic alliances. Comment by Author: Other?

Obesity and Weight Management Programs
Introduction to the Problem
The problem under investigation in this research is the issue of obesity and weight management. This topic was selected because it the issues is affecting many people today around the world and most significantly in the United States. Thousands of people worldwide are dying from obesity and overweight related illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure among many others (Obesity & weight control: Health risks, weight loss & bariatric surgery, n.d.). Therefore, it has a huge impact on the healthcare system since it has increased the problems that healthcare professionals and facilities are facing. Hospitals are now congested mainly due to diet related illnesses, obesity being at the top of the list, which causes short staffing due to the increasing patients numbers relative to providers’ numbers. The providers, especially nurses, may then suffer from burnout and thus affecting the quality of care that they provide. Several weight management programs have then been created in order to tackle the serious problem of obesity. Therefore, conducting a proper research on obesity and weight management programs is very crucial since it will help in providing in-depth understanding of the whole issue and thus useful in developing and implementing ways that can curb the problem by proper implementation of these programs. This will improve the conditions of healthcare facilities and eventually the quality of care provided.
The Problem
The problem is obesity and weight management programs. Obesity is a medical condition that occurs when an individual has excess body fat or weight that might have some significant effect on his or her health (Hu, 2008). On the other hand, weight management is the process of embracing long-term lifestyle modification to keep a healthy body weight on depending on the age, gender, and height of an individual. They include methods such as eating heathy food and increasing the levels of physical activity. Weight management programs are then the initiatives that are created in controlling the weight of individuals in order to control such conditions as obesity. Managing one’s weight through these programs is very important part of their health because they avoid being overweight and obese to reduce the risks of medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and stroke. The intake of diet considered unhealthy, lack of physical exercise and practicing unhealthy lifestyles such as too much intake of alcohol, smoking may lead to increase in weight, and thus a person is considered overweight. This is when the body contains too much body fat above the required amount. Obesity then occurs after being overweight when the calorie intake of a person goes higher than the amount of energy that .

Environmental influences refer to external factors that impact an organization's marketing decisions involving pricing. Having a pricing goal is not sufficient; an organization must consider many other factors before setting its product prices. Customers are a crucial consideration when making a pricing decision. The three vital elements for consideration about customers are whether they feel that the product provides value, how sensitive the buyers are to prices changes, the number of buyers available. The company needs to collect market size data and try to identify how sensitive customers are on price. The product's price should match the buyers' perception of the value they are likely to get from the product (Zhou, 2019). The number of buyers able and willing to buy the product, determine the demand of the product, and due to forces of demand and supply, it influences the product price. When the demand is high, the company can set relatively high prices.
The way competitors sell and price their products has a great impact on the pricing decision of a company. If a customer wants to buy a pair of sneakers from Gucci Company, but the price 20% less in another competing company, the customer is more likely to buy the product from the competitor. Companies should consider matching their prices to that of the competitors to establish and maintain their loyal clients to avoid this problem, which may cost the company its market share. When the competition is too high, the company may also consider giving an extra discount if the customers feel the prices may be better somewhere else. The presence of substitute commodities impacts the pricing decision of a company as well (Kim, 2019) If the prices of certain products become too high, the customers may look for a substitute that solves the same problem. High completion also means and the company should invest more in advertising.
The economic forces impact the product pricing decision. The economic environment factors like unemployment levels and interest rates impact the price. When the level of unemployment is very high, many people will have lower bargaining power due to low income, which results in reduced demand for the product, the lower the demand, the lower the price. When interest rates are very high, the company is likely to increase the prices of a product to compensate for the interests. The rate of currency exchange in the international market also influences the product pricing.

Going global and conducting new businesses on an international level can be challenging, but it can also be a great opportunity to enhance potential and growth. Many companies have decided to go global and enjoy the opportunities presented to them, but such a vital expansion is not always easy. There are several risks and challenges one can experience since businesses work differently in other countries. Yum Brands, an American fast-food company, is considering expanding to the Asian markets specifically India. This project will, therefore, analyse the cultural differences between America and India. It will also analyse the cultural exchange, and lastly, analyse the best distribution method for the company.
Cultural Differences
We can define cultural differences are the several beliefs, languages, vocabularies, practices, and behaviours considered distinctive to members of a particular national origin, race, or ethnicity. One of the major cultural difference between Indian and American culture is family relationships. Indians are much more family-oriented, on the other hand, Americans are individual-oriented. In India, family values are more significant than individual values. On the contrary, individual values are more significant than family values in America. Indians are more dedicated to their family whereas Americans are more dedicated to themselves.
Another difference relates to hierarchies and goals. Americans are goal-oriented, they work to get profits as fast as they can. This is normally attained by effective teamwork, with every individual accountable for their own actions and decisions. In India, on the contrary, individuals emphasize more on the hierarchies (geerthofsted.com). Individuals at the lower part of the hierarchy are not authorised to make any decision and those at the upper part of the hierarchy could make decisions based on their interests.
Unlike in America, In India, the head of the company or family make decisions. Moreover, older people are more respected and addressed and referred to in a formal way. On the other hand, older people in American culture are not respected because of their age but because of their achievements. In America, people can also question and challenge their superiors in public, within reasons. This can be viewed as rude and disrespectful in India.
The other difference relates to time. Americans are normally impatient. Deadlines in business contracts are strict and they must be met. Individuals will work for long hours to accomplish this and there is no easiness for delays. In India, in contrast, life goes at a slower speed. Indians view time more of circular than linear and relationship is more vital than deadlines.
In India, it is important to build relationships. Having an established and solid relationshi.

Big Data in Social Media
By definition, Big Data can simply be termed as voluminous data. In more specific definitions, it can be termed as that which is large, complex and fast and a s a result, is not in a position to be processed using the typical traditional methods of data processing. The volume, variety, velocity, variability and veracity are used in the categorizing of data as big data. With the development in technology, and the continued incorporation of these technological sources into our day to day lives, the collected data through the Internet of Things among other information systems has resulted in big data (Ivanov, 2018). One such areas where Big data is found is in the social media platforms. As opposed to the olden days, currently, more and more people and companies are using social media daily to achieve their specific objectives and goals, it is estimated that social media platforms like Facebook produce data as big as 500+ terabytes in a s ingle day!
Most of these data in the social media are as a result of the videos, photos, messages and comments being shared across the media platforms. Not only do individuals use social media to keep in touch, but companies also use it in a concept called social media marketing. Through the media, and using big data analytics, companies are able to map out consumer behavior through what they like and what they share (Nicora, 2019). They use these platforms to reach their target audiences and at the same time use them to get feedback from their clients. As a result, the amount of data from social media platforms is not only voluminous, it is also heterogenous in the sense that it contains both nominal and numeral values from different places, it is variable in that it has unpredictable flow, it is fast because it is collected in real time. This qualifies the data to be Big Data and requires big data analytics to process.

INTRODUCTION
Amazon is one of the fastest growing online retailer company in the United States of America that has been able to overhaul its business structure by using innovative strategies in supply chain management. Amazon has left most of its competitors have a hard time trying to catch up. The firm has made huge investments in the management of its inventory to include recent forms of technology to beat its competition. The firm has optimized every link in its supply chain to ensure its customers are satisfied and well attended to (Leblanc, 2019). This paper hence seeks to discuss Amazons supply chain operation factors such as; transport and security, procurement and inventory management, technology and information management, and articulate some of the global risk factors affecting the firm. Comment by TJS: Paragraphs need to be left justified Comment by TJS: Great point here. Amazon is dominating the industry Comment by TJS: Anthropomorphisms should not be utilized. An anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics or behavior to a good, animal, or object.
TRANSPORTATION AND SECURITY
Transportation cost structures, modes, and distribution centers, inventory control systems, and inventory costs reduction strategies
Amazon initially launched a two-day delivery program for its customers to ensure that its customers had fast delivery of products but soon other competitors started catching on. Amazon hence had to make another adjustment in its freight services and now offers a two-hour delivery service to Amazon Prime customers. For product freight, Amazon has equally sub-contracted firms such as the United Parcel Service to transport its products to its customers. Amazon has been relying on third-party couriers to make their deliveries as they have a better-established delivery route and path that they can leverage for efficient delivery services (Leblanc, 2019). Comment by TJS: Yes. They set a new industry standard
However, due to the consideration of numerous factors involved in using third-party carriers for deliveries, Amazon has developed its privately-owned freight service. Amazon hence uses its privately-owned vehicles to carry products to its clients specifically for same-day deliveries. In recent times, Amazon has been developing cargo freight service in certain specific areas where the firm uses drones to carry items straight to their clients who are within a 10-mile radius from their warehouses. This has cut product deliveries to half an hour or less. Amazon is progressively incorporating newer technologies in its supply chain that systems can hence run without human supervision. This strategy has been articulated to be efficient so far as there are has been reduced inventory management costs over the last few years since the acquisition of Kiva Systems (Leblanc, 2.

Abstract
The Campbell Soup Company was begun in the late 1860s as a partnership for canning vegetables, especially tomatoes. The company continued to grow, and it was an early adopter of radio and magazine advertising, which helped to promote Campbell Soup to new heights as one of the most well-known and loved American brands. After the turn of the millennium, there was a slowdown in growth. Over the past decade and more, despite the company’s giant size and revenues of $8 billion per year, revenues were lagging, losses were becoming the main return on investments in new strategies, and new products were failing. This situation did not occur overnight, but rather it was a changing environment along with discoveries of unethical behavior by the company. The turning point for Campbell Soup, and its downfall, was the repeated use of deception in marketing the taste, freshness and health of its products. This paper provides an overview and analysis of the case.
Introduction
The Campbell Soup Company was begun in the late 1860s as a partnership for canning vegetables, especially tomatoes (Shea & Mathis, 2002). Anderson & Campbell set up their operations in Camden, New Jersey, where there was a significant manufacturing presence, but their marketing was focused on images of gardens and fresh food (Shea & Mathis, 2002). In 1876 Anderson left the partnership, and many of Campbell’s relatives joined the venture (Shea & Mathis, 2002). Canned foods were still an emerging product form in America, however their popularity was growing as was the capacity to transport and distribute products over a vast area, even nationally (Shea & Mathis, 2002). The company continued to grow, and it was an early adopter of radio and magazine advertising, which helped to promote Campbell Soup to new heights as one of the most well-known and loved American brands (Shea & Mathis, 2002). The company went public in 1956 (Shea & Mathis, 2002). Campbell Soup continued to grow and expand it s product lines int eh latter half of the twentieth century, including the introduction of meals that could be prepared using soup as a base, rather than just selling the soup for soup (Shea & Mathis, 2002). After the turn of the millennium, there was a slow down in growth. Over the past decade and more, despite the company’s giant size and revenues of $8 billion per year, revenues were lagging, losses were becoming the main return on investments in new strategies, and new products were failing (Wiener-Bronner, 2018). Shareholders, of which descendants of the original founders represented about half of all shares, were at odds with more focused activist investors, and efforts were diverted into board level debates and battles, rather than corporate needs (Wiener.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Abstract
Bloodstream infections refer to the infections that occur in the healthcare facilities and they are the new infections that are acquired within the facility. These infections lead to hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality in hemodialysis patients. There are about 30,100 reported incidences of infections in the United States. The bloodstream infections are caused by the equipment being used by the healthcare providers for example the surgical equipment, the environment of the facility, and the healthcare workers or patients who transmit such infection to the other. The paper aimed at discussing the adherence or the practices recommended by the CDC to help in the prevention and reduction of the bloodstream infection in hemodialysis patients. The CDC proposed some interventions to be followed in the reduction of these infections. These included the provision of the feedback, surveillance, audit of the hygi.

1. INTRODUCTION
Knowledge remains one of the most significant resource for any given firm (Grant, 1996a: 375). New knowledge is essential in all organizations, it contributes to the innovation, organizational change, cost-reduction routine performance and their survival. Knowledge provides the organization the opportunities to improve their capacity and their market position. Nowadays strategic alliance has become a common cooperation form in the modern economy. In the past years, strategic alliances have significantly increased, since 1900 strategic alliances have increased by more than 25 per cent annually. (Andrew, 1998) Organizations recognized the importance of the strategic alliance, which is during the strategic alliance, knowledge exchange occurs in each party. Because of this, more and more organizations increase their motivation to do strategic alliances with other parties in order to get the benefits associated with knowledge exchange. Alliances are offer ways in which organizations can make proper use of their strengths by the help of their partners. Different organizations have different knowledge and skills. Therefore, alliances are unique avenues through which organizations can work together, share this knowledge and unlock their potentials (Hamel et al., 1989). Comment by Author: Clear introduction. Perhaps for the section on knowledge you can include a reference. Comment by Author: Here I would also include a reference, I think this is a clear intro as to why organizations aim for strategic alliances. Comment by Author: Other?

Obesity and Weight Management Programs
Introduction to the Problem
The problem under investigation in this research is the issue of obesity and weight management. This topic was selected because it the issues is affecting many people today around the world and most significantly in the United States. Thousands of people worldwide are dying from obesity and overweight related illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure among many others (Obesity & weight control: Health risks, weight loss & bariatric surgery, n.d.). Therefore, it has a huge impact on the healthcare system since it has increased the problems that healthcare professionals and facilities are facing. Hospitals are now congested mainly due to diet related illnesses, obesity being at the top of the list, which causes short staffing due to the increasing patients numbers relative to providers’ numbers. The providers, especially nurses, may then suffer from burnout and thus affecting the quality of care that they provide. Several weight management programs have then been created in order to tackle the serious problem of obesity. Therefore, conducting a proper research on obesity and weight management programs is very crucial since it will help in providing in-depth understanding of the whole issue and thus useful in developing and implementing ways that can curb the problem by proper implementation of these programs. This will improve the conditions of healthcare facilities and eventually the quality of care provided.
The Problem
The problem is obesity and weight management programs. Obesity is a medical condition that occurs when an individual has excess body fat or weight that might have some significant effect on his or her health (Hu, 2008). On the other hand, weight management is the process of embracing long-term lifestyle modification to keep a healthy body weight on depending on the age, gender, and height of an individual. They include methods such as eating heathy food and increasing the levels of physical activity. Weight management programs are then the initiatives that are created in controlling the weight of individuals in order to control such conditions as obesity. Managing one’s weight through these programs is very important part of their health because they avoid being overweight and obese to reduce the risks of medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and stroke. The intake of diet considered unhealthy, lack of physical exercise and practicing unhealthy lifestyles such as too much intake of alcohol, smoking may lead to increase in weight, and thus a person is considered overweight. This is when the body contains too much body fat above the required amount. Obesity then occurs after being overweight when the calorie intake of a person goes higher than the amount of energy that .

Environmental influences refer to external factors that impact an organization's marketing decisions involving pricing. Having a pricing goal is not sufficient; an organization must consider many other factors before setting its product prices. Customers are a crucial consideration when making a pricing decision. The three vital elements for consideration about customers are whether they feel that the product provides value, how sensitive the buyers are to prices changes, the number of buyers available. The company needs to collect market size data and try to identify how sensitive customers are on price. The product's price should match the buyers' perception of the value they are likely to get from the product (Zhou, 2019). The number of buyers able and willing to buy the product, determine the demand of the product, and due to forces of demand and supply, it influences the product price. When the demand is high, the company can set relatively high prices.
The way competitors sell and price their products has a great impact on the pricing decision of a company. If a customer wants to buy a pair of sneakers from Gucci Company, but the price 20% less in another competing company, the customer is more likely to buy the product from the competitor. Companies should consider matching their prices to that of the competitors to establish and maintain their loyal clients to avoid this problem, which may cost the company its market share. When the competition is too high, the company may also consider giving an extra discount if the customers feel the prices may be better somewhere else. The presence of substitute commodities impacts the pricing decision of a company as well (Kim, 2019) If the prices of certain products become too high, the customers may look for a substitute that solves the same problem. High completion also means and the company should invest more in advertising.
The economic forces impact the product pricing decision. The economic environment factors like unemployment levels and interest rates impact the price. When the level of unemployment is very high, many people will have lower bargaining power due to low income, which results in reduced demand for the product, the lower the demand, the lower the price. When interest rates are very high, the company is likely to increase the prices of a product to compensate for the interests. The rate of currency exchange in the international market also influences the product pricing.

Going global and conducting new businesses on an international level can be challenging, but it can also be a great opportunity to enhance potential and growth. Many companies have decided to go global and enjoy the opportunities presented to them, but such a vital expansion is not always easy. There are several risks and challenges one can experience since businesses work differently in other countries. Yum Brands, an American fast-food company, is considering expanding to the Asian markets specifically India. This project will, therefore, analyse the cultural differences between America and India. It will also analyse the cultural exchange, and lastly, analyse the best distribution method for the company.
Cultural Differences
We can define cultural differences are the several beliefs, languages, vocabularies, practices, and behaviours considered distinctive to members of a particular national origin, race, or ethnicity. One of the major cultural difference between Indian and American culture is family relationships. Indians are much more family-oriented, on the other hand, Americans are individual-oriented. In India, family values are more significant than individual values. On the contrary, individual values are more significant than family values in America. Indians are more dedicated to their family whereas Americans are more dedicated to themselves.
Another difference relates to hierarchies and goals. Americans are goal-oriented, they work to get profits as fast as they can. This is normally attained by effective teamwork, with every individual accountable for their own actions and decisions. In India, on the contrary, individuals emphasize more on the hierarchies (geerthofsted.com). Individuals at the lower part of the hierarchy are not authorised to make any decision and those at the upper part of the hierarchy could make decisions based on their interests.
Unlike in America, In India, the head of the company or family make decisions. Moreover, older people are more respected and addressed and referred to in a formal way. On the other hand, older people in American culture are not respected because of their age but because of their achievements. In America, people can also question and challenge their superiors in public, within reasons. This can be viewed as rude and disrespectful in India.
The other difference relates to time. Americans are normally impatient. Deadlines in business contracts are strict and they must be met. Individuals will work for long hours to accomplish this and there is no easiness for delays. In India, in contrast, life goes at a slower speed. Indians view time more of circular than linear and relationship is more vital than deadlines.
In India, it is important to build relationships. Having an established and solid relationshi.

Big Data in Social Media
By definition, Big Data can simply be termed as voluminous data. In more specific definitions, it can be termed as that which is large, complex and fast and a s a result, is not in a position to be processed using the typical traditional methods of data processing. The volume, variety, velocity, variability and veracity are used in the categorizing of data as big data. With the development in technology, and the continued incorporation of these technological sources into our day to day lives, the collected data through the Internet of Things among other information systems has resulted in big data (Ivanov, 2018). One such areas where Big data is found is in the social media platforms. As opposed to the olden days, currently, more and more people and companies are using social media daily to achieve their specific objectives and goals, it is estimated that social media platforms like Facebook produce data as big as 500+ terabytes in a s ingle day!
Most of these data in the social media are as a result of the videos, photos, messages and comments being shared across the media platforms. Not only do individuals use social media to keep in touch, but companies also use it in a concept called social media marketing. Through the media, and using big data analytics, companies are able to map out consumer behavior through what they like and what they share (Nicora, 2019). They use these platforms to reach their target audiences and at the same time use them to get feedback from their clients. As a result, the amount of data from social media platforms is not only voluminous, it is also heterogenous in the sense that it contains both nominal and numeral values from different places, it is variable in that it has unpredictable flow, it is fast because it is collected in real time. This qualifies the data to be Big Data and requires big data analytics to process.

INTRODUCTION
Amazon is one of the fastest growing online retailer company in the United States of America that has been able to overhaul its business structure by using innovative strategies in supply chain management. Amazon has left most of its competitors have a hard time trying to catch up. The firm has made huge investments in the management of its inventory to include recent forms of technology to beat its competition. The firm has optimized every link in its supply chain to ensure its customers are satisfied and well attended to (Leblanc, 2019). This paper hence seeks to discuss Amazons supply chain operation factors such as; transport and security, procurement and inventory management, technology and information management, and articulate some of the global risk factors affecting the firm. Comment by TJS: Paragraphs need to be left justified Comment by TJS: Great point here. Amazon is dominating the industry Comment by TJS: Anthropomorphisms should not be utilized. An anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics or behavior to a good, animal, or object.
TRANSPORTATION AND SECURITY
Transportation cost structures, modes, and distribution centers, inventory control systems, and inventory costs reduction strategies
Amazon initially launched a two-day delivery program for its customers to ensure that its customers had fast delivery of products but soon other competitors started catching on. Amazon hence had to make another adjustment in its freight services and now offers a two-hour delivery service to Amazon Prime customers. For product freight, Amazon has equally sub-contracted firms such as the United Parcel Service to transport its products to its customers. Amazon has been relying on third-party couriers to make their deliveries as they have a better-established delivery route and path that they can leverage for efficient delivery services (Leblanc, 2019). Comment by TJS: Yes. They set a new industry standard
However, due to the consideration of numerous factors involved in using third-party carriers for deliveries, Amazon has developed its privately-owned freight service. Amazon hence uses its privately-owned vehicles to carry products to its clients specifically for same-day deliveries. In recent times, Amazon has been developing cargo freight service in certain specific areas where the firm uses drones to carry items straight to their clients who are within a 10-mile radius from their warehouses. This has cut product deliveries to half an hour or less. Amazon is progressively incorporating newer technologies in its supply chain that systems can hence run without human supervision. This strategy has been articulated to be efficient so far as there are has been reduced inventory management costs over the last few years since the acquisition of Kiva Systems (Leblanc, 2.

Abstract
The Campbell Soup Company was begun in the late 1860s as a partnership for canning vegetables, especially tomatoes. The company continued to grow, and it was an early adopter of radio and magazine advertising, which helped to promote Campbell Soup to new heights as one of the most well-known and loved American brands. After the turn of the millennium, there was a slowdown in growth. Over the past decade and more, despite the company’s giant size and revenues of $8 billion per year, revenues were lagging, losses were becoming the main return on investments in new strategies, and new products were failing. This situation did not occur overnight, but rather it was a changing environment along with discoveries of unethical behavior by the company. The turning point for Campbell Soup, and its downfall, was the repeated use of deception in marketing the taste, freshness and health of its products. This paper provides an overview and analysis of the case.
Introduction
The Campbell Soup Company was begun in the late 1860s as a partnership for canning vegetables, especially tomatoes (Shea & Mathis, 2002). Anderson & Campbell set up their operations in Camden, New Jersey, where there was a significant manufacturing presence, but their marketing was focused on images of gardens and fresh food (Shea & Mathis, 2002). In 1876 Anderson left the partnership, and many of Campbell’s relatives joined the venture (Shea & Mathis, 2002). Canned foods were still an emerging product form in America, however their popularity was growing as was the capacity to transport and distribute products over a vast area, even nationally (Shea & Mathis, 2002). The company continued to grow, and it was an early adopter of radio and magazine advertising, which helped to promote Campbell Soup to new heights as one of the most well-known and loved American brands (Shea & Mathis, 2002). The company went public in 1956 (Shea & Mathis, 2002). Campbell Soup continued to grow and expand it s product lines int eh latter half of the twentieth century, including the introduction of meals that could be prepared using soup as a base, rather than just selling the soup for soup (Shea & Mathis, 2002). After the turn of the millennium, there was a slow down in growth. Over the past decade and more, despite the company’s giant size and revenues of $8 billion per year, revenues were lagging, losses were becoming the main return on investments in new strategies, and new products were failing (Wiener-Bronner, 2018). Shareholders, of which descendants of the original founders represented about half of all shares, were at odds with more focused activist investors, and efforts were diverted into board level debates and battles, rather than corporate needs (Wiener.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
