The document provides information about a project brief for an article on working practices in the print industry. It outlines two tasks - the first is to explain various print production stages, employment terms, and the impact of digital technology with examples. The second task is to analyze whether digital technology has positively or negatively impacted the print industry. It also provides grading criteria for pass, merit, and distinction levels focusing on explanations of working practices and employment contracts in the print industry.

Challenge 2 – Adaptation and Constraints
The Depot at Cape Canaveral is almost online, and the depots in the Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand will be coming online soon as well.
Our next obstacle is the infrastructure for the base on the moon. The Moon will be used as stopping point on the way to Mars, in addition to serving as the human race’s new home until the colony on Mars is finished.
Due to the way the base was constructed, we have serious power, cooling, and space limitations. You must scale the design down to fit into half of a datacenter rack, or 21U. In addition, we also only have IPV6 network infrastructure on the moon. You must use the same vendors of the design you will be working with, but you can use different product lines. You must tell us what the configuration maximums for the new design are (for example, maximum hosts, VMs, storage capacity), and what your failure tolerance is.

The zombie invasion has proven too much for humanity and as such we must move on to the moon and eventually to Mars. In preparation for this trip space shuttles must be constructed at depots around the world. The WGTG Corporation has been formed to accomplish this task.
The depots require an integrated system to run the manufacturing process. To meet this need the ShipDepot application stack has been developed. ShipDepot is a three-tier application designed to run in Docker containers to provide the upmost resiliency as any interruption in service will no doubt cost human lives.

We are now settled on Mars, and ready to build a more permanent infrastructure. Keep in mind that power, cooling, and space are extremely expensive resources on Mars. In order to save space, we have decided not to use a traditional Fibre Channel infrastructure, meaning there will be no dedicated Fibre Channel Switches. We do however have plenty of 10G Ethernet switches, with some 40G Ethernet switches.
We’ve examined how we can rebuild inrastucture from scratch, but now let’s think outside the box, and inside the clouds. Before the zombie apocalypse began, many organizations were beginning to leverage public cloud infrastructures for a number of reasons.

Escaping the Marketing Morass
Joe Sinfield and Scott D. Anthony printed in Marketing Management, March-April 2007 | Volume 5 | Number 2
It is one of the holy grails of marketing: predictability in new product innovation. Yet again and again, smart companies spend tens of millions of dollars doing the best research they can do only to have products flop in the marketplace.
Our perspective is that the way that companies assess and analyze markets shoulders at least a portion of the blame for this unpredictability. Segmenting markets into demographic segments, or assuming that product categories divide the world, can consistently lead to offerings that don’t connect with consumers and miss opportunities for innovation. Companies continue to push for improvements along dimensions that overshoot consumer needs and then complain that commoditization has set in when looking at the market the right way can highlight attractive avenues for differentiation.
There must be a better way, one that allows companies to identify real opportunities that promise extraordinary returns. We believe that focusing on the “job” a customer is trying to get done can help companies break out of the marketing morass. This article describes how this jobs- to-be-done framework can help companies master the “innovation lifecycle,” improving their ability to spot high-growth opportunities, optimize existing products, and inject life into even the most stagnant categories. Jobs and the innovation life cycle
The concept of jobs to be done is described in Chapter 3 of Clayton Christensen’s 2003 book The Innovator’s
Solution
. The concept is simple. It holds that customers don’t really buy products, they hir.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Aims
Understanding how the print industry works and the different ways people can be employed
within it is important for anyone hoping to get in to the industry. It will help you when you look
at what kind of job you would like in the industry.
Tasks/Notes
The British Print Industry Federation (BPIF) has a trade magazine called Inprint. They have approached you to
write an article about working practices in the Print Based Media Industries. You will need to complete task one
to allow you to carry out some research and gain an understanding before moving on to task 2 which will allow
you to show off your knowledge and compare and evaluative the issues.
Task 1: (P2, M2, D2)
You should explain the stages of print production, house style, impact of digital technology,
role of unions, outsourcing, subcontracting, franchising, apprenticeships, multi skilling, shift
work and flexibility.
You should also look at employment contract types such as permanent, temporary, full-time,
part-time, freelance and voluntary. You should also explain employment regulations, equal
opportunities and the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006.
You need to explain the different terms and wherever possible use print industry examples to help explain your
points. This will allow you to access the higher grades.
Task 2: (P2, M2, D2)
You should prepare a response to the following question. Has digital technology had a positive or negative
impact on the print industry? You should use lots of examples to make your point.
This question will allow you to use your increasing knowledge of the print industry to comprehensively explain
working practices. You should be able to make links between digital technology and a range of other working
practices in order to prepare a high level response.
The criteria by which you will be assessed can be found over the page.
Merit students will give a good explanation of the different working practices and types of employment within the
print based media industries. They will use some specific examples from the industry.
Distinction students will give very detailed explanations of the different working practices and types of
employment within the print based media industries. . They will include lots of specific examples from the
industry. Distinction level work will be good enough to use to explain the print industry to someone new to the
field.

Deadline/Schedule
The schedule is as follows:
4. Explain the 3 main stages of production in the print based industry
Stage 1: Name: Prepress
What happens during this stage:
Prepress is the stage after the order has been received but before any actual
printing has been placed. First the content is decided between the client and the
business. The work is then created by producing a design layout, sourcing photos
and writing copy. There is often further consultation between the design team and
client, tweaking things and adding finishing touches. When the client is happy with
the product the required films and plates for the printing press is prepared, and the
product can begin being printed.
Stage 2: Name: Press
What happens during this stage:
Firstly the printing press must be prepared. This involves selecting appropriate
colours, setting up the printing plates, and then the chosen paper size and weight
must be applied to the press. After this there will be a series of test print to ensure
the quality of the colours and print before the print run actually begins.
Then the pages are printed, folded and cut, ready for post press.
Stage 3: Name: Post-press
What happens during this stage:
This is where the printed pages are arranged and prepared for binding. Some
magazines may have several versions, such as special edition or regional covers or
a different version for subscribers, and this is the stage in which they will be put
together. The finished product will then be packaged and sent out via the postal
service to subscribers and clients or to retail outlets to be sold.
Explain the following terms:
5. House style: Why is a house style and why is it used? Use a least one
example to help you explain.
The house style is a set of guidelines that are to be followed in order to produce a
consistant publication. They include the type of language used, spelling,
punctuation and italics. The copy editor is responsible for ensuring the house style
is being followed. Style guides are used by many publications and can be very
detailed, specifying which fonts and colours should be used. This allows a large
team to produce consistant work that flows as 1 piece rather than each separate
article/issue feeling individual.
Outsourcing: Explain the concept and the types of work outsourced by the
media industry. Using specific examples of companies who outsource or who
take on outsourced work will help improve your response.
Outsourcing is quite new to the media industry. It is where an element of project is
given to another company to work on. This allows there to be a smaller core
organisation, which in turn cuts operating costs. An example of how money can be
saved is a magazine could outsource layout design to another company in another
country. Another example would be a TV show outsourcing subtitles or on screen
graphics.
.
Subcontracting: What sort of processes can be subcontracted out and why is
it done? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?
Tasks such as perfect binding, thermography or die cutting are seen as speciality
processes, and may require equipment that, especially if used infrequently, can
cost more to acquire than it is to subcontract. An advantage of this is that
companies that would not normally be able to do things such as thermography or
perfect binding are now able to achieve this.
6. Franchising: What media franchises are available? Why do people choose to
run franchises? If you can find out further information about start up costs or
support this will help improve your answers.
People choose to run franchises because they can use a successful companies
business model. They are allowed to use their name, logos, uniforms etc and are
allowed to sell their products. This allows someone to open a business without
some of the troubles that come with opening a new business, such as not having a
reputation. Examples of well known franchises include McDonalds and KFC.
Apprenticeship: Explain what an apprenticeship is and find an example of a
media related apprenticeship.
An apprenticeship is a way in which you can gain a qualification and work
experience as well as getting paid. Wages are low and often below the minimum
wage but you are gaining experience and a qualification. They are a good route into
an industry and are the most popular qualification to do for trades that cannot be
learnt in a classroom.
There are many different types of media related apprenticeships ranging from
graphic design apprenticeships, through to photography apprenticeships.
Multi-skilling: What is multi-skilling and what are some of the advantages and
disadvantages of it?
Multi-skilling is when a single employee is trained in several different skills or a
range of knowledge, allowing a single employee to work on several different
projects.
The reason companies do this is to save money as they do not have to employ
someone for each individual job. It also increases the individuals productivity. A
disadvantage is that it can put pressure on jobs as companies try to reduce the
number of staff.
7. Shift work: What is shift work and why is it sometimes required? What kind of
jobs might need to do this?
Shift work is the process in which a place of work is run for up to 24 hours a day. As
one persons shift ends someone elses begins, allowing the place of work to operate
for longer periods of time. It is common in the print industry as a lot of the time print
jobs take place in a fast paced manor and require many hours of work to complete.
An example would be newspapers needing to be produced overnight and ready for
the morning.
Flexibility: How important is being flexible as a worker? Using specific
examples could improve your grade.
In the print industry flexibility is enormously important. People in the print industry
will be expected to work long and irregular shifts, often outside of normal office
hours. Some people will also have to travel at short notice. An example would be a
newspaper journalist will have to work outside normal office hours in order to get
the newspaper ready for the deadline, so it will be available for sale in the morning.
8. What role have unions played in the print industry?
Unions have played and important role within the print industry. They bring workers
together and fight for things such as workers rights, safety, work conditions, and
wages. An example of a huge union related event would be the Wapping dispute.
This happened in January 1986 when around 6000 newspaper workers went on
strike. Their employers, News International, had built a new printing plant in the
district of Wapping in London and when the print unions announced a strike they
opened this new plant. The new plant was state-of-the-art and dramatically
changed the working practices of the workers in the print industry. The unions
opinions had not been sought regarding the new plant and the facilities that
inhabited it. They dismissed everyone who took part in the strike and in their place
employed members of a different union, the EETPU.
Explain the following types of employment and working patterns and their
advantages and disadvantages.
Permanent contract:
A permanent contract is a long-term employment agreement, without an end date.
Advantages of this include having the security of a reliable income, paid holidays,
sick pay, sometimes contributions into a pension scheme, and often the ability to be
able to progress within the company.
9. Temporary contract:
A temporary contract is a short term contract that is set for a limited amount of time.
Advantages of this type of contract include; people who are not able to commit to a
permanent contract (such as student) are able to find employment in this manor.
There are seasonal requirements that temporary contracts can fulfil such as fruit
pickers or theme park workers. Some disadvantages of this type of contract are you
don’t have the security of a permanent contract, in that you haven’t got a
guaranteed income that lasts a long time. And it may be harder to progress within
that employment contract.
Full-time:
Full-time employment is a contract in which you work at least 37 hours a week. An
advantage of this is that you can earn more money allowing for a higher standard of
living. A disadvantage of this would be that you don’t have much free time.
Part-time:
Part-time employment is a contract in which you work less than the minimum fulltime requirement. An advantage of this would be that you have more free time and
it is especially helpful to students as it allows them to study as well as earn an
income. A disadvantage would be that you don’t earn as much money as you would
in a full-time employment contract.
10. Freelance:
Freelance is when you work for yourself and companies will hire you for your
services. Advantages of this are that you are more flexible and independent,
allowing your more freedom. A disadvantage would be that you don’t have a
guaranteed income and the security that comes with that.
Voluntary:
Voluntary is where you are doing unpaid work, normally for charities or causes.
Advantages are that it looks good on your CV, you can try something without
committing and is can feel good to be helping. Disadvantages include it not being a
source of income.
Explain the following pieces of employment law:
You should note any previous acts which they build on, you should explain
who they apply to and what their purpose is. Giving examples of where they
have been applied will improve your grade.
Equal opportunities act 2010:
The equal opportunities act 2010 prevents people from being discriminated against
in the workplace. The equal opportunities act replaced all equal opportunity
legislation in England, Wales and Scotland in October 2010. Some of the acts it
replaced include the Race Relations Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Sex Discrimination
Act, the Civil Partnership Act 2004 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. The
reason for changing to the Equal opportunities act is that it is easier to understand,
and in some cases may strengthen protection. This is due to the fact that it is a
single act, instead of several, making it much more simple.
11. Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006:
The employment equality (age) regulations 2006 came into play on the 1 st October
2006. These regulations are designed to protect people from being unreasonably
discriminated due to their age. It applies to all employees, prospective employees
and trainees.
