Dell Strategic Plan
Dell is a private multinational company that deals with the manufacture of personal computer technologies. It was founded in 1984 and currently has its headquarters in Round Rock, Texas in the United States (Dell & Fredman, 1999). This strategic plan will analyze various internal and external environment factors affecting the company.
Mission statement
The Dell mission statement reads; “our mission is to be the most successful IT Company in the world by delivering the best customer experience in all the markets we serve. In doing so, Dell will meet customer expectations of highest quality, leading technology, competitive pricing, individual and company accountability, best-in-class service and support, flexible customization capability, and superior corporate citizenship”(Dell, 2015). The mission statement is focused on acquiring customer loyalty through high value creation.
Proposal for updated mission: the mission statement above needs to be updated so as to capture more values of the company. Currently, the mission is just focused on customer relations. Whereas Dell has a separate corporate social responsibility statement, this should be captured in the mission statement as it represents the core values and beliefs of the company. The statement should capture the company’s commitment towards environmental sustainability and its role in promoting the local communities.
Vision statement
Dell’s vision statement reads; “it’s the way we do business. It is the way we interact with the community. It is the way we interpret the world around us- our customers’ needs, our future technology, and global business climate. Whatever changes the future may bring. Dell vision will be out guide focus” (Dell, 2015). This vision is focused on customer satisfaction and introduces some aspect of the company’s responsibility towards the community.
Proposal for updated vision: a vision statement is a reflection of a company’s future ambitions or its desired future outlook (Roberts, 1996). The Dell vision statement captures this aspect effectively. There is however one thing that lacks in Dell’s vision: an ambition for market leadership. The vision should have a statement on how the company wishes to grow into a leader in the technology industry.

3. Dell's over-dependence on PCs made it vulnerable when the market shifted. Its profits declined significantly as it lost market share to HP, Lenovo, and other companies that were able to transition more successfully.
Dell was founded in 1984 by Michael Dell when he was 18 years old. Dell initially sold personal computers directly to customers, eliminating markups from retailers. This allowed Dell to reduce costs and risks from large inventories. By 1999, Dell had become the largest online retailer.
Michael Dell remains the CEO and Chairman. Dell operates manufacturing facilities around the world and divides its business into the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions. Dell faces competition from HP, IBM, Gateway, and Apple but has maintained leadership in market share and profitability through its direct sales model and supply chain management.
Innovation @ Dell Inc. – Customer Driven innovation at the forefrontRajesh Prabhakar
Michael Dell built Dell Inc. on process innovation by assembling and selling personal computers at low cost rather than product innovation. While Dell relied on suppliers for components, it was forced to innovate as competitors introduced new models. Dell has since driven innovation in areas like e-commerce, mobile computing, cloud computing and virtualization. Customer-driven innovation is at Dell's forefront, where it gathers requirements and partners with suppliers to deliver solutions meeting customer needs. Innovation is again key to Dell's survival strategy as the PC market declines.
Group 4 presented on changing business models at Dell. The document discussed Dell's origins starting as a dorm room business and its transition to a direct sales model. It then summarized Dell's growth in the 1990s and 2000s, attributed to its efficient direct model and early adoption of e-commerce. However, the PC market began shrinking in the late 2000s. The document analyzed Dell's transition to a hybrid direct/indirect model starting in 2007 to address a maturing market. It compared the benefits of Dell's original direct model versus the new hybrid approach.
Dell Inc. is a multinational computer technology company based in Texas that develops, sells, repairs and supports computers and related products. Founded by Michael Dell in 1984, Dell pioneered the direct sales model of manufacturing computers based on customer orders to reduce costs. Dell grew to become the largest PC supplier through its low-cost advantages and high customer satisfaction. It focuses on cloud, big data, mobility and providing innovative, customized products and services while maintaining financial stability and environmental responsibility.
This document provides a strategic management case study of Dell Inc. It includes sections on Dell's vision, mission, strategies and objectives. It performs external and internal assessments using models like Porter's Five Forces, Value Chain Analysis and SWOT. It recommends revising Dell's vision to becoming the world's first choice for computing needs. The mission revision focuses on delivering quality products, innovative technologies and competitive prices to achieve the leading position in the PC industry. The external analysis found the PC market saturated with little brand loyalty. Internally, Dell's buyout allows transformation without shareholder scrutiny.
This document contains a case study and questions about Dell's financial performance, marketing strategies, and SWOT analysis. Some key points:
- Dell conducts research through customer panels, surveys, and social media to improve products and services.
- Dell's unique selling points are customization, direct sales to customers, and discounts.
- Dell generates revenue through increased demand for enterprise solutions, servers, storage, and services. Recent acquisitions expanded these capabilities.
- External threats include decreasing price differences between brands and slowing industry growth. Internal weaknesses are lack of appeal to students and difficulties with direct sales model for home users.

Quality Management of Dell Corporation
Dell Inc. (Dell) is a company based in United State (US) and involved in, designing, developing, manufacturing, marketing and supporting systems of information technology. The products offered by the company include printers, desktops, laptops, storage devices, etc. Apple Inc. is a company that designs, manufactures and markets mobile communication devices and personal computers, media devices, and portable music digital players. The company offers a wide range of media devices and mobile communication plus numerous related software, peripherals, networking solutions and third-party digital content solutions.It was named after its great founder, Michael Dell. The company is best known for the innovations it made on the management of supply chain and electronic commerce, mostly the model for direct sales and configure to order approach which they used in management to deliver customer’s specifications of configured PCs (Michael Dell 2009).
Dell considers quality of its products since that is used to gain access to their position in the external market. Dell maintains the quality of its products by making sure it keeps up with the increasing technological advancements and also producing laptops according to the customer’s specifications therefore gaining a strong position in the market. Quality of laptops will provide a basic background for competition with other companies that produce similar products like Apple.
SWOT analysis of Dell Computer Corporation
Majorly, the strength of Dell comes because of the Direct Model which is considered as one the greatest assets of the company. The Direct Model gives consumers a chance to customize their laptops since the market is becoming more educated and every individual needs a laptop that will meet their needs especially in terms of performance and portability. Direct Model gives a fast delivery of services to the customers as it allows customers to place their order and receive customised computers within a short period of time therefore making it possible for a customer to directly buy an item from the factory.
One of the greatest weaknesses of Dell comes from the fact that it tries to attract college students which only makes a segment of the market. The sales revenue from educational institutions accounts for a low profit to the organisation (Bennett 2003). Another weakness comes from the aspect that the buyers cannot physically see or touch the products they are intending to buy and therefore makes many computer buyers to be wary of the products they are unable to examine personally before doing a purchase and sometimes, an eager bu ...

Introduction
When the name Dell is mentioned, what comes to the mind of many people is personal computers since the name is widely known for its link to computers. However, since its founding, the company has continued to grow and expand beyond the personal computers market to engage in other products and services such as IT (Swab & Gentry, 2018). The company now has stake in servers, networking, storage and data protection alongside its products such as monitors, PCs, and printers. The company went public in 1988 as Dell Computer Corp, and began a stiff competition with Compaq later in 2001. The company faced tough times from 2013 when smartphones and tablets became widely accepted, prompting the company to initiate privatization process (Swab & Gentry, 2018). This paper aims at discussing strategies used by the company to operate both at business and corporate level.
Business level strategies
Business-level strategy aims at meeting customers’ needs and satisfying them through offering high-quality goods and services to meet the needs and increasing operating profits (Hitt & Hoskisson, 2020). The focus is to position the company against its competitors in order to stay at the cutting edge and influence market and technology trends in the long-run.
The three core values of Dell Inc. are Listen, Learn and Deliver. These values have made the company successful in the IT sector through offering its products and services to meet customer needs. The success of the company has been pegged on unique customization, cost proposition and delivery. The company was forced to upgrade its strategies in order to meet the changing environment in the sector (Swab & Gentry, 2018). The business strategy has always centered on several core elements which include mass customization, direct sales, partnership with suppliers, build-to-order manufacturing, customer service, just-in-time inventories, market segmentation, and information sharing and extensive data with both customers and suppliers.
Dell now has strategies that focus on individual customer needs unlike before where the focus was on government and commercial customers (Hitt & Hoskisson, 2020). This is because the PC trend has been shifting towards smaller and more communications-oriented and integrated products. The market has experienced high demand for portable devices such as laptops, smartphones and notebooks. This has forced the company to adopt a strategy of manufacturing computer products which meet this need (Swab & Gentry, 2018).

A Critical Appraisal Of Strategic Action PlansKaren Thompson
This summary compares two chapters about Michael Dell and Andy Grove. Both were CEOs who successfully led technology companies through challenges. Michael Dell founded Dell Computer and pioneered a direct sales model that eliminated retailers. Andy Grove co-founded Intel and transformed it from a memory chip maker to a microprocessor leader, despite resistance to change. While both had vision and understanding of customers, Dell focused on customizing computers through online sales while Grove emphasized research and development.

History of Dell
Everyone has heard of Dell, being one of the world's leaders in the computer technology industry will do that. Dell was created by Michael Dell at the age of 19 in 1984. Dell was established with $1,000 in starting money and was ran out of the freshman's dorm room at the University of Texas. In 1987, Dell became an international company when it opened its first locations in Europe. After only eight years of being open, Dell showed up for the first time on the Fortune 500 list of business. Since Dell started, they have become a worldwide leader in the computing industry, especially in their e-waste recycling programs and their developments in the use of computer technology in the medical field. Recently, Dell has begun to expand their customer base by developing various types of software that can be utilized by consumers (Dell.com, 2016).
Companies like Dell show that the American Dream is possible in today's business climate. Michael Dell has taken his vision and developed it into an international name in the industry. Over their twenty-two years of existence, they have led the way in many endeavors, many of which have been copied by competitors. Being able to develop a product or division that brings something new to the industry is always challenging, but businesses can still do it.

Over the last decade, it has been obvious that getting consumers connected is the prime goal of many technological developments. Smartphones have become mainstream, many of them keeping users connected to almost every aspect of their lives. Other devices that keep consumers connected are home security systems, some vehicle computers, appliances, thermostats and even the lighting in your home. The biggest concern with these devices will always be security, but another problem is one device or application that can control all things easily, as well as allow the devices to communicate together.
The new division of Dell will be known as the SMART Division. It is their goal to take what Dell already does well, bring quality products to the masses at a cost effective price. The products they will be tasked with developing are products to help consumers create the perfect SMART home. Some of, but not all, the possible products they will be producing will include thermostats, video monitoring devices, Whole Home Audio, Smoke/Carbon Monoxide detectors, garage door openers, Smart door locks, connected appliances, and connected lighting. All of these devices must first have a hub created that makes operating them all more efficiently and allows them to be connected. The ability for customization is necessary, and that is something in which Dell already excels.
The products created by the SMART Division will allow for complete automation of the .
Dell grew rapidly from its founding in 1984 by directly selling custom-built PCs to customers. Dell's direct sales model eliminated inventory costs and reseller margins, allowing it to produce PCs in a matter of hours. Dell used IT to closely coordinate its operations and supply chain. This efficient build-to-order process and high-quality customer service supported Dell's rise to become the largest PC maker in the world in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Dell was founded in 1984 by Michael Dell when he was 18 years old. Dell initially sold personal computers directly to customers, eliminating markups from retailers. This allowed Dell to reduce costs and risks from large inventories. By 1999, Dell had become the largest online retailer.
Michael Dell remains the CEO and Chairman. Dell operates manufacturing facilities around the world and divides its business into the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions. Dell faces competition from HP, IBM, Gateway, and Apple but has maintained leadership in market share and profitability through its direct sales model and supply chain management.
Innovation @ Dell Inc. – Customer Driven innovation at the forefrontRajesh Prabhakar
Michael Dell built Dell Inc. on process innovation by assembling and selling personal computers at low cost rather than product innovation. While Dell relied on suppliers for components, it was forced to innovate as competitors introduced new models. Dell has since driven innovation in areas like e-commerce, mobile computing, cloud computing and virtualization. Customer-driven innovation is at Dell's forefront, where it gathers requirements and partners with suppliers to deliver solutions meeting customer needs. Innovation is again key to Dell's survival strategy as the PC market declines.
Group 4 presented on changing business models at Dell. The document discussed Dell's origins starting as a dorm room business and its transition to a direct sales model. It then summarized Dell's growth in the 1990s and 2000s, attributed to its efficient direct model and early adoption of e-commerce. However, the PC market began shrinking in the late 2000s. The document analyzed Dell's transition to a hybrid direct/indirect model starting in 2007 to address a maturing market.

This document contains a case study and questions about Dell's financial performance, marketing strategies, and SWOT analysis. Some key points:
- Dell conducts research through customer panels, surveys, and social media to improve products and services.
- Dell's unique selling points are customization, direct sales to customers, and discounts.
- Dell generates revenue through increased demand for enterprise solutions, servers, storage, and services. Recent acquisitions expanded these capabilities.
- External threats include decreasing price differences between brands and slowing industry growth. Internal weaknesses are lack of appeal to students and difficulties with direct sales model for home users.

Quality Management of Dell Corporation
Dell Inc. (Dell) is a company based in United State (US) and involved in, designing, developing, manufacturing, marketing and supporting systems of information technology. The products offered by the company include printers, desktops, laptops, storage devices, etc. Apple Inc. is a company that designs, manufactures and markets mobile communication devices and personal computers, media devices, and portable music digital players. The company offers a wide range of media devices and mobile communication plus numerous related software, peripherals, networking solutions and third-party digital content solutions.It was named after its great founder, Michael Dell. The company is best known for the innovations it made on the management of supply chain and electronic commerce, mostly the model for direct sales and configure to order approach which they used in management to deliver customer’s specifications of configured PCs (Michael Dell 2009).
Dell considers quality of its products since that is used to gain access to their position in the external market. Dell maintains the quality of its products by making sure it keeps up with the increasing technological advancements and also producing laptops according to the customer’s specifications therefore gaining a strong position in the market. Quality of laptops will provide a basic background for competition with other companies that produce similar products like Apple.
SWOT analysis of Dell Computer Corporation
Majorly, the strength of Dell comes because of the Direct Model which is considered as one the greatest assets of the company. The Direct Model gives consumers a chance to customize their laptops since the market is becoming more educated and every individual needs a laptop that will meet their needs especially in terms of performance and portability. Direct Model gives a fast delivery of services to the customers as it allows customers to place their order and receive customised computers within a short period of time therefore making it possible for a customer to directly buy an item from the factory.
One of the greatest weaknesses of Dell comes from the fact that it tries to attract college students which only makes a segment of the market. The sales revenue from educational institutions accounts for a low profit to the organisation (Bennett 2003). Another weakness comes from the aspect that the buyers cannot physically see or touch the products they are intending to buy and therefore makes many computer buyers to be wary of the products they are unable to examine personally before doing a purchase and sometimes, an eager bu ...

When the name Dell is mentioned, what comes to the mind of many people is personal computers since the name is widely known for its link to computers. However, since its founding, the company has continued to grow and expand beyond the personal computers market to engage in other products and services such as IT (Swab & Gentry, 2018). The company now has stake in servers, networking, storage and data protection alongside its products such as monitors, PCs, and printers. The company went public in 1988 as Dell Computer Corp, and began a stiff competition with Compaq later in 2001. The company faced tough times from 2013 when smartphones and tablets became widely accepted, prompting the company to initiate privatization process (Swab & Gentry, 2018). This paper aims at discussing strategies used by the company to operate both at business and corporate level.
Business level strategies
Business-level strategy aims at meeting customers’ needs and satisfying them through offering high-quality goods and services to meet the needs and increasing operating profits (Hitt & Hoskisson, 2020). The focus is to position the company against its competitors in order to stay at the cutting edge and influence market and technology trends in the long-run.
The three core values of Dell Inc. are Listen, Learn and Deliver. These values have made the company successful in the IT sector through offering its products and services to meet customer needs. The success of the company has been pegged on unique customization, cost proposition and delivery. The company was forced to upgrade its strategies in order to meet the changing environment in the sector (Swab & Gentry, 2018). The business strategy has always centered on several core elements which include mass customization, direct sales, partnership with suppliers, build-to-order manufacturing, customer service, just-in-time inventories, market segmentation, and information sharing and extensive data with both customers and suppliers.
Dell now has strategies that focus on individual customer needs unlike before where the focus was on government and commercial customers (Hitt & Hoskisson, 2020). This is because the PC trend has been shifting towards smaller and more communications-oriented and integrated products. The market has experienced high demand for portable devices such as laptops, smartphones and notebooks. This has forced the company to adopt a strategy of manufacturing computer products which meet this need (Swab & Gentry, 2018).

Michael Dell founded Dell Computer and pioneered a direct sales model that eliminated retailers. Andy Grove co-founded Intel and transformed it from a memory chip maker to a microprocessor leader, despite resistance to change. While both had vision and understanding of customers, Dell focused on customizing computers through online sales while Grove emphasized research and development.

History of Dell
Everyone has heard of Dell, being one of the world's leaders in the computer technology industry will do that. Dell was created by Michael Dell at the age of 19 in 1984. Dell was established with $1,000 in starting money and was ran out of the freshman's dorm room at the University of Texas. In 1987, Dell became an international company when it opened its first locations in Europe. After only eight years of being open, Dell showed up for the first time on the Fortune 500 list of business. Since Dell started, they have become a worldwide leader in the computing industry, especially in their e-waste recycling programs and their developments in the use of computer technology in the medical field. Recently, Dell has begun to expand their customer base by developing various types of software that can be utilized by consumers (Dell.com, 2016).
Companies like Dell show that the American Dream is possible in today's business climate. Michael Dell has taken his vision and developed it into an international name in the industry. Over their twenty-two years of existence, they have led the way in many endeavors, many of which have been copied by competitors. Being able to develop a product or division that brings something new to the industry is always challenging, but businesses can still do it.
New Division and Products
Over the last decade, it has been obvious that getting consumers connected is the prime goal of many technological developments. Smartphones have become mainstream, many of them keeping users connected to almost every aspect of their lives. Other devices that keep consumers connected are home security systems, some vehicle computers, appliances, thermostats and even the lighting in your home. The biggest concern with these devices will always be security, but another problem is one device or application that can control all things easily, as well as allow the devices to communicate together.
The new division of Dell will be known as the SMART Division. It is their goal to take what Dell already does well, bring quality products to the masses at a cost effective price. The products they will be tasked with developing are products to help consumers create the perfect SMART home. Some of, but not all, the possible products they will be producing will include thermostats, video monitoring devices, Whole Home Audio, Smoke/Carbon Monoxide detectors, garage door openers, Smart door locks, connected appliances, and connected lighting.

1) Allegory suggests that enlightenment or education work the same way whereby they expand the growth of ideas. Educational institutions limit the knowledge given to students despite tutor sharing the educational knowledge to their respective students. Nevertheless, the allegory also suggests people should become opportunistic by taking advantage of any favorable opportunity. Enlightenment or education is sharing of knowledge because individuals learn from you and vice versa. Finally, knowing the reality is very important in our life. Therefore, knowledge acquired from enlightenment or education is powerful and by stripping it from individuals cute their view of the reality.Furthermore, allegory deems education to be a masterpiece of brain expansion where the generation of ideas and skill sets. In this case representation of knowledge has been symbolized by “Light” to mean that an enlightened individual who is educated is enlightened. In this summary, we can say that human in their superiority of knowledge, idea, and information they are free to be free thinkers without getting stuck in anything. This builds the strength and analogy of “enlightenment.”

2) Being a philosopher, Socrates believed that philosophy was the most important above everything else. His examining and thinking about life spilled out into the lives of others, and he believed that they would all die someday. Believing that philosophy is the love of wisdom, Socrates stated that a life without a philosophy that is ‘unexamined’ life is not worthy of living. Examining one’s life is valuable because it enables you to know the goodness, virtues, justice, truth, and beauty of an individual to name but a few. Nevertheless, examining one’s life enables one to discuss goodness and failing to examine one’s life is the best thing someone can do according to Socrates because without this kind of examination life is not worth living.

3) I personally do not think that being self-interested is a bad thing. In fact, being self-interested is a good thing. Most of the time, self- interested people are termed to be selfish. But this does not apply every time. Self-interest leads one to be more creative and develops the eagerness and thirst to learn more about oneself and others. Self- interest generates knowledge and ideas. As well, it is the key to a successful life. If a person can stay happy and satisfied with themselves, then they do not seek others in life. Self-interested people always tend to be happy as they think for their good first and prioritize their own happiness. So, being self-interested is never a bad thing.

Sadder and Less Accurate False Memory for NegativeMaterial .docxrtodd599
Sadder and Less Accurate? False Memory for Negative
Material in Depression
Jutta Joormann
University of Miami
Bethany A. Teachman
University of Virginia
Ian H. Gotlib
Stanford University
Previous research has demonstrated that induced sad mood is associated with increased accuracy of recall
in certain memory tasks; the effects of clinical depression, however, are likely to be quite different. The
authors used the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm to examine the impact of clinical depression on
erroneous recall of neutral and/or emotional stimuli. Specifically, they presented Deese-Roediger-
McDermott lists that were highly associated with negative, neutral, or positive lures and compared
participants diagnosed with major depressive disorder and nondepressed control participants on the
accuracy of their recall of presented material and their false recall of never-presented lures. Compared
with control participants, major depressive disorder participants recalled fewer words that had been
previously presented but were more likely to falsely recall negative lures; there were no differences
between major depressive disorder and control participants in false recall of positive or neutral lures.
These findings indicate that depression is associated with false memories of negative material.
Keywords: depression, memory, cognition, emotion, bias
Mood states and emotions affect memory in various ways.
Mood-induction studies, for example, have demonstrated that neg-
ative affect is associated with increased accuracy in retrieval
(Storbeck & Clore, 2005), whereas positive mood states are asso-
ciated with decreases in processing capacity (Mackie & Worth,
1989) and reduced processing motivation (Wegener & Petty,
1994), resulting in less accurate recall (Ruder & Bless, 2003). At
the same time, research on mood-congruency suggests that affec-
tive states increase the accessibility of mood-congruent material
(Bower, 1981). Understanding this complex interaction of mood
and memory is important, given its critical role in emotion regu-
lation and emotional disorders.
Individual differences in mood-congruent memory and in the
accessibility of mood-incongruent material have been proposed to
predict the ability to regulate negative mood states (Joormann &
Siemer, 2004; Joormann, Siemer, & Gotlib, 2007). Indeed, depres-
sion, by definition a disorder characterized by difficulty regulating
negative mood states, is associated with two distinct but related
memory impairments.
First, difficulties in cognitive control (i.e., focal attention to
relevant stimuli and inhibition of irrelevant material) result in
memory deficits for nonemotional material (Burt, Zembar, &
Niederehe, 1995; Hertel, 2004). In a series of studies, Hertel and
her collaborators (Hertel, 1998; Hertel & Rude, 1991) presented
evidence indicating that depression-related impairments are not
observed in all components of memory but are found primarily in
free-recall tasks and in other unstructu.

Running head: LITERATURE REVIEW ON HYBRID CLASSES
LITERATURE REVIEW ON HYBRID CLASSES
Literature review on hybrid classes
Author’s name
Institutions affiliations
Hybrid classes and learning can be described as a combination of both faces to face learning that may at times involve lectures and online learning which is not always a must. Lectures may at times be considered, but that is not always the case for it to be a hybrid form of learning. The kind of hybrid learning and classes can be classified into two different categories. Those include the replacement, supplemental learning, the emporium and the buffet kind of classification. The types are divided depending on face to face classes interacts with the online constituents of the course in question. For the case of replacement, mostly the one on one kind of learning with the tutors and the lectures are completely replaced or rather substituted fully or partly by the online classes. This then reduces the time spent on attending the classes. In such a case, students are usually required to concentrate more on watching videos on YouTube and tackling assignments assigned to them. Hybrid learning is a platform that will help on saving the time spent by the students when they run from one class to another so as to have an encounter with the lecturers. It is, therefore, more revolutionized compared to the normal traditional forms of learning. The subsequent paragraphs in this essay will outline a literature review from various sources for the research on how the hybrid learning is more important compared to the traditional learning methods and to know why most of the universities use this type .
Literature review
Several studies and research has been conducted on the reasons as to why the hybrid form of learning and the hybrid classes are more important or more uses so they are taking over the traditional forms of learning which include face to face learning and attending the lectures. Several controversies have arisen from different authors on outlining some of the reasons as to why hybrid learning should be promoted. Renowned scholars have published articles and journals as well as books on the same. Most people and students have been left in a dilemma on whatever means to use so as to acquire the knowledge they require. The many advantages that have come with the hybrid kind of learning have made many universities and learning institutions across the globe to adopt the new mode of learning that is hybrid classes and sort to drop or rather do away with the online classes or the face to face classes. So many factors have been found to contribute to that decision by the management team of most .

The Effective of Nursing Education and Attitude to Improve Knowledge in Palliative Care of Hospital- internationally.
Abstract:
This research going to describe the effect of nursing education and attitude to improve knowledge in palliative care of hospital- internationally. The palliative is medical specialty caring for people with chronic and serous disease. This type of care concentrate on rest of patient from the symptoms and stress diseases. The aims is to improve clarity of life for both the patient and their family. However nursing education and attitude have real affect on patient health, by improve nursing education patient care can improved. Even if the nurse dos not have enough education she can progress himself by continuous learning. "The 2011 Public Opinion Strategies found that most Americans believe that palliative care should be made available to all hospitals "(Center to Advance Palliative Care [CAPC], 2011).
Background: Long work in medical area can affect in the Knowledge and attitude for the nurse it could in bad or good way, So the nurse have to improve himself to achieve the standard of care for patient in Palliative Care. Because of around the world the numbers of patients who`s need palliative care is increased, and the nurse come from the first line of patient care.
Method: A quantitative study will used to explore the determine the knowledge and attitude of Saudi nurse who is provide care for palliative patient.
Data collection:
Data collection is "the process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest, in an established systematic fashion that enables one to answer stated research questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate outcomes". The data collection compo.

Homework 4
DUE: 6/6/19
81 points total
Instructions: As before, these problems give you an opportunity to use the concepts and
techniques we’ve learned in class to analyze interesting social systems. This time I’ve
leaned more toward interesting conceptual puzzles rather than brute calculations. I
encourage you to work in groups (of no more than 5), but each student should prepare
her or his own solutions, along with a note at the top of your assignment crediting
other members of the working group. Please make sure you truly understand the
solution to a problem, and please: DO NOT COPY SOLUTIONS. This includes copying
solutions from earlier years. We will figure it out. Do not go to the testbank at SAC, do
not go to Course Hero, and do not get solutions from friends who have taken the course
in the past. This will impede your learning, it will not prepare you for the final exam, and
I will treat it as academic misconduct.
In general, you should show your work rather than just writing down a number. This
makes it easier for us to see that you know what you are doing, and easier for you to
see when you’ve made a trivial mistake. On the other hand, don’t just throw everything
vaguely relevant at the wall and hope that something sticks. You need to be judicious!
Please turn in a hard copy of your solutions to the TA at the beginning of class. Your
submission should be neat and legible: you can type it up or write it out by hand, but we
aren’t going to engage in decipherment here. Please follow the breakdown of questions
into parts (a, b, c, etc.) to make these easier for your TA to grade.
Q1. Why is it sometimes rational to imitate the behavior of others? Briefly describe
two reasons, and give an example of each. (6 points)
Q2. You are in charge of marketing a new smartphone app, SeeFood, that allows
users to share pictures of food with each other. Uptake of the app will obey the
following dynamical rule:
If the company spends $50,000 on marketing, it can get a fraction z’ of the population to
Adopt the app at time 0. This fraction z’ is between B and C—just above B, in fact. If the
company spends $300,000 on marketing, it can get a fraction z’’ of the population to
Adopt at time 0 (mostly by giving the App away). This fraction z’’ is close to D. You think
that the company should spend the $300,000, as it will get you close to total adoption.
Your intern argues that you should spend $50,000 on marketing instead. If adoption
settles at fraction A, your company will make $0 in revenue; at fraction B, your company
will make $100,000 in revenue; at fraction C, your company will make $200,000 in
revenue; and at fraction D, your company will make $500,000 in revenue.
a) Explain why you are wrong, by showing that you will actually lose money
if you spend the $300,000 to get a fraction z’’ of the population to Adopt.
Remember, in.

Sadly today police are not often viewed in the best light. Not a.docxrtodd599
Sadly today police are not often viewed in the best light. Not all officers are bad or are guilty of misconduct. However many people think a few bad ones spoil them all and while it is not true perception is everything. When officers are apart of misconduct, bad behaviors and other negative incidents this ruins community trust and support. Early intervention systems have surfaced as a useful tool in managing the risk of misconduct by police. As stated earlier its only a small amount of officers that are responsible for citizen complaints. These complaints are comprised of use of physical force and other infractions. (2020) When indicators are monitored or risk related outputs by officers so to speak.
Administrators can then recognize or identify actions of officers that are symptomatic or are problomatic indicators of possible police misconduct. Research shows that typically misconduct is skewed across a small group of officers at any given time. Officers who participate in misconduct aften have similar histories concerning age and pre-employment. It is found these things build over time they do not just happen out of the blue. This makes it very important to identify problems lying in wait. Such things as officer bias, not understanding policies, supervisors with poor supervisory skills any problems that could trigger or add to future events unfolding. It is prdent to look for any traits, actions or performance issues that raise speculation. These are the factors that snowball over time and lead to ubfortunate events. (2020

Global leadership success through emotional and
cultural intelligences
Ilan Alon, James M. Higgins*
Roy E. Crummer Graduate School of Business, Rollins College, 1000 Holt Ave-2722, Winter Park, FL 32789,
USA
Abstract Culturally attuned and emotionally sensitive global leaders need to be
developed: leaders who can respond to the particular foreign environments of
different countries and different interpersonal work situations. Two emerging
constructs are especially relevant to the development of successful global leaders:
cultural and emotional intelligences. When considered under the traditional view of
intelligence as measured by IQ, cultural, and emotional intelligences provide a
framework for better understanding cross-cultural leadership and help clarify
possible adaptations that need to be implemented in leadership development
programs of multinational firms. This article posits that emotional intelligence (EQ),
analytical intelligence (IQ), and leadership behaviors are moderated by cultural
intelligence (CQ) in the formation of global leadership success.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

ASSIGNMENT 2
Introduction
Dell is one of the popular corporations in the industry of
electronics. It provides a variety of consumer electronics such
as laptops, cell phones, computers as well as music devices.
This paper is going to address Dell`s strengths and weaknesses,
determine Dell`s core competencies, core capabilities, and
resources, discuss the segments of general environment that
influence the corporation, discuss the most significant forces of
competition and identify greatest external threats and
opportunities of Dell.
2. General Environment
The political segment influences Dell in that it governs the
relations of the company with its consumers, employees,
investors, competitors, and partners. This segment specifically
deals with legal laws and issues that may be faced by a company
in the process of doing business. Taxation laws, anti-laws, labor
training laws, educational philosophies, deregulation
philosophies, and policies are the main elements of the political
segment. Anti-trust laws are laws set forth to protect consumers
and certain individuals from businesses who carry out predatory
business practices. Preservation of free and unfettered
competition as indicated by the Federal Trade Commission is a
rule of trade (Federal Trade Commission, 2016). It is vital for
the electronic industry, like Dell to avoid violating antitrust
laws.
The technological segment has the highest influence on Dell.
Product innovation is the most important element of the
technological segment. This is because for a company to
compete with its rivals, it is important for it to create innovated
products. When a company is competing in an industry related
to technology, it must have innovated products since consumers
are always willing and able to spend their money on what the
best gives them. When consumers are not willing to spend on
products the company gets a loss of revenue as well as a greater
loss percentage of market shares.
Two Forces of Competition
· The threat of substitute products
Dell has offered similar products and services with the
Microsoft Corporation. Both of these companies offer products
such as web browsers, handheld computers, and operating
systems. For instance, consumers are offered with tablets by the
Microsoft Corporation while on the other hand, Dell offers
iPads. These two devices perform the same function but offer
clients with other services which are not included in the
rivalry`s product. Price is the common dimension in which the
Microsoft Corporation rivalry is based. Most of Dell`s products
3. are very expensive. As a result, most consumers have moved to
Microsoft Corporation`s products. For example, one can buy a
Microsoft operating system computer for around $ 800 to $ 900.
Whereas, it has been found that the average price for Dell`s
operating system and computer ranges between $1,300 to
$2,100.
· Rivalry among competing firms
Many existing companies have competed with Dell by offering
substitute products. This has led to widening rivalry. Needless
to say, consumers go for the cheaper products that share the
same similarities with Dell products. For example, if a customer
wants to purchase a touch screen phone which is similar to an
iPhone, he/she can get it from Wal-Mart at a price of as little
$90 bucks. If the consumer wants something with similar
characteristics, he/she can buy a tablet. Evaluation
Dell has addressed the issue of substitute products by providing
consumers with a more robust operating system. This system
has more security services than the operating system of
Windows. Dell has also put more innovations on their products
for their clients to get more bangs. Dell has dealt with rivalry
from its competitors by taking legal actions against them with
an attempt of collecting some of its loss damages and revenue.
It has also had a history of filing lawsuits against its
competitors when they try to provide similar services and
products as Dell.
Future Improvements
To deal with rivalry, Dell can choose to lower its products and
services price. It can also choose to create better products and
services. Lowering the prices of its services and products will
be a good strategy. Dell has the opportunity of forming
partnerships with small companies and organizations to create
substitute products. This will prevent major companies from
getting a chance to substitute Dell`s new products. Dell can also
strategize on making new innovated products which are cheaper
right from the beginning (Hitt et al., 2012)
External Threats and Opportunities
4. Competitor mergers and acquisition of other competing
companies is the greatest external and serious threat affecting
Dell. In the assessment of Dell`s opportunities, the greatest
opportunity for Dell has arisen from its cell phones. Every
individual needs a cell phone to communicate and almost
everyone has one.
Threats and Opportunities Strategies
Dell should legally block competitor companies from merging
to curb this external threat. It can also interrupt acquisitions by
placing higher bids than its competitors. This will be a better
deal in terms of the buyout. It can use terms like retention of
own shares for the original company founders. Dell should
address the opportunity of the cell phones by providing cell
phones which are easier to operate than other existing
smartphones.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Creation of innovated products is the greatest strength for Dell.
The most innovated product for the company is the iPhone.
When it was first introduced in the market in never required a
pointing pen as other smartphones did. Instead, clients used
their thumbs as the pointing device. The iPhone contained a
Graphical User Interface (GUI) and had an operating system
that resembled that of a laptop. Product pricing is one of the
greatest weaknesses of Dell Corporation. Most of Dell`s
products are expensive as compared to the other companies.
Strengths and weaknesses strategies
To maximize the strength of creating innovated products, the
company should promote innovation to its workers and
encourage them to come up with new ideas. To complete this
weakness of product pricing, Dell should decrease the expenses
and costs in making their goods and deliver the savings to its
clients by reducing the products` prices (Yunker, 2002).
Resources, Capabilities, and Core Competencies
One of the resources of Dell is its name together with its
reputation in the creation of innovated products. These
5. resources cannot be purchased with cash. Dell has the capability
of creating products in big quantities. It also has enough capital
to spend on developing new products and research. Dell is also
able to create products outside the industry of computers. The
company has also revealed its ability to tap revenue from both
the cell phone industry and the music industry. The core
competencies for Dell are its development and research
activities. It spends much money on the development and
research of new products. It has a high level of knowledge and
competence in networking, computer, and communication.

6. Introduction
Dell, a US-based global public corporation engages in
designing, creating and marketing a variety of user computing
devices such as desktop PCs, tablets and notebooks. It is also
involved in customizing products and support services to the
clients. The effect of technological support and globalization
will be discussed in this paper. This paper will also discuss how
the resource-based model and the industrial organization model
are applied in Dell in the determination of potential benefits.
This paper will also analyze the role of Dell`s mission, vision,
and stakeholder in the determination of the success of this
corporation.
Globalization
As a result of globalization, Dell has faced very stiff
competition in retaining and attracting customers in a good way
which has convinced it to change the strategies of its business.
It has expanded its operations globally as a way of reducing
competition. It has started to supply its products throughout the
globe and as a result of global operations; it has also been faced
by a different cultural, social, political, economic and legal
environment that has convinced it to change its business
structure and policy. Considering the business environment,
Dell has revised the policies of its business. Globalization at the
same time has given Dell an opportunity of making itself
present in other markets (Noe et al., 2006). As a result, it has
attained a valuable share in the market in emerging economies
like China and India. This global era has resulted in changes in
the consumer buying behavior in this industry. As a result, Dell
has required a competent and effective support system and as a
way of responding to this change, Dell has altered its strategy
by creating several retail stores around the globe.
Technology
7. Changes in technology such as online selling, the e-commerce
emergence and other internet equipment have provided immense
opportunities as well as changing the business model of Dell. It
has resulted in the development of Internet-based supply chain
models which has enabled it to make direct sales. Dell utilized
and integrated this technological change in co-coordinating
suppliers and making build-to-order. Technological change has
also resulted in the modification of Dell`s communication
techniques which is used in interacting with suppliers,
employees, and clients. Dell has largely used the internet in
responding to the impact of technological changes. In this way,
technological changes have greatly impacted the strategies and
operations of Dell`s business accordingly.
Industrial-Based Model
The industrial based model gives an explanation that the firm`s
strategic choice is greatly affected by the external environment.
This model analyzes the competitive environment and the
general industry that influence the strategic operations and
choices of business accordingly. The general environment`s
analysis involves the investigation of the economic, socio-
culture, demographic, political and legal factors that would be
important in the provision of knowledge to Dell regarding
changes that would lead to the creation of opportunities and
which would threaten its operations (Hitt & Ireland, 2008).
Through the analysis of the computing device industry`s
environment, Dell will be able to create awareness regarding
new entrants, rivalry level, substitute products and the
bargaining force of suppliers and buyers. Competitor analysis
will help Dell in the examination of strategies, objectives,
capabilities, and assumptions of its known competitors such as
Samsung IBM and Apple. Knowledge about opportunities and
threats will be provided through this investigation which will be
8. beneficial in taking and developing informed strategies and
decisions accordingly. Therefore, this model will give an
effective floor to Dell for limiting threats and tapping
opportunities efficiently in comparison of competitors that will
assist in earning above-average returns.
Resource-Based Model
The resource-based model gives an explanation of the internal
surrounding of a business and to create awareness of their
capabilities and resources. This way, Dell will be made able to
know its strengths and weaknesses while at the same time
proceeding with investigations of the core competencies. This
knowledge will assist Dell in framing strategies that enable it in
supporting its strengths and in limiting its weaknesses. This
strategy formulation will provide an effective floor to Dell in
the determination of competitive advantage that would assist in
earning above-average returns.
Furthermore, this Resource-based model explains the means
through which Dell can dynamically manage capabilities and
resources to get above-average returns within computing device
industry. Therefore, this model assists Dell in the determination
of opportunities, strengths, and weaknesses and in the
development of informed strategies that can assist in achieving
high returns in less effort (Rosser & Rosser, 2004)
Vision
The Dell`s vision: “Our vision is not only to provide the best
client experience in our industry but also to be among the best
in any business”. This vision provides the direction that is
needed in selecting the best and relevant strategies. To be
ranked highly in this industry, Dell comes up with the culture of
continuous improvement that assists it in building competent
and diverse workforce throughout the world. This workforce
9. enables the Dell Company to provide a unique experience to
clients that assist it in making a global presence and in
increasing sales. In addition, Dell`s vision contributes to the
maintenance of utmost integrate values that assist it in the
development of leaders and bringing personal accountability
(Buckman, 2004). Through this, maximum opportunities are
explored from the e-commerce knowledge in comparison to
other corporations that assist Dell in grabbing big market share
in the industry.
Mission
The Dell`s mission: “Our mission is to be the most successful
IT systems company in the world by delivering the best
customer experience in all markets we serve” This mission
inspires Dell in the maximization of quality and minimization of
the cost of products and services that it provides in several
markets. The supply chain management strategy for Dell assists
the company in the articulation of its vision and mission
statements. This enables Dell to provide the highest quality in
fair price with leading technology. In addition, this Dell`s
mission assists the company in the integration of its operations
with client expectations that enable the company in the
expansion of its market globally.
Through this, Dell is enabled to meet the needs of global clients
and to globally expand its operations assisting it to become the
most successful company in the world. Dell`s mission enables it
to build a personal accountability culture that makes Dell
provide the best-customized services to its clients. Through
this, customer experience is also improved; sales and
profitability that contribute to success worldwide also increase.
Stakeholders
Dell`s stakeholders are divided into three main categories:
10. capital market stakeholder, product market stakeholder and
organizational stakeholder. Under the capital market
stakeholder, banks, creditors and other major suppliers provide
funds to Dell in support of its new business ventures and expect
good returns from them. Since Dell gives adequate returns to
them, they are persuaded to invest more money. As a result,
Dell is able to get adequate funds to finance its new ventures
(Baumann, 2010).
The product market shareholder group includes suppliers, host
communities, unions and primary consumers that influence Dell
performance. Dell`s consumers require reliable products and
Dell makes sure that through its efficient supply chain, the
expectations of this group are reached. The competent
relationship between Dell and its suppliers as a result of
technology is used by the firm in the development and delivery
of customized products in time and in fair prices (Christopher &
Towill, 2000). Under the organizational stakeholder group, both
the manager`s and the employee`s effort assist Dell in making
its supply chain more efficient in the provision of quality
products at low costs.
