ZAPPOS.COM: DEVELOPING A SUPPLY CHAIN TO DELIVER
WOW!
Our decision was always to focus on service because we got instant feedback whenever we
upgraded delivery. Customers were wowed by the experience, and then they told a bunch of
people. And word of mouth works a lot faster on the Internet than it does person-to-person
because you can just e-mail out a bunch of your friends and say, 'hey I just had this amazing
experience.' That was one of the reasons that we wanted to keep upgrading shipping.
—Alfred Lin, Chairman, COO, and CFO of Zappos1
In late 2008, less than 10 years after its founding, Zappos anticipated reaching annual gross sales
of $1 billion. When its founder first proposed the idea of selling shoes online, the concept was
greeted with intense skepticism. Despite the challenges, the company had achieved dramatic
success. It was the world’s largest online retailer of shoes, was profitable, growing rapidly, and
had an outstanding reputation for customer service. Its employees were passionately, engaged in
their work. While shoes still provided the vast majority of revenues, Zappos had expanded its
product offerings based on feedback from customers and the enthusiasm of employees. There
was still a huge untapped customer base—only 3 percent of the U.S. population were Zappos
customers—suggesting that the company was not close to saturating its opportunities in the U.S.,
let alone other international regions.
However, the collapse of the financial markets, and the prospect of a prolonged recession,
created new challenges. Zappos had never been lavishly funded—it had always been intensely
conscious of cash. Unlike most retailers, it was continuing to grow, but early signs were that the
rate of growth was slowing. As the company’s leadership looked forward, it considered ways
that Zappos could sustain the high quality experience that it was known for—to deliver “wow” to
its customers, suppliers, and other affiliates. The company’s.

Unit Lesson
Chapter 2 investigates ways that information systems (IS) can support collaboration. It defines collaboration
and discusses collaborative activities and criteria for successful collaboration. It also discusses the kind of
work that collaborative teams do, requirements for collaborative IS, and important collaborative tools for
improving communicating content. The chapter ends with a discussion of collaboration in 2024.
Collaboration and Cooperation
Cooperation occurs when people work together toward a common goal. For example, in teamwork, each
team member is given a task to complete such as a project component. Collaboration occurs when people,
together or remotely, work together toward a common goal (Kroenke & Boyle, 2017). For example, a team
member in California and a team member in Texas might meet using Skype to discuss ideas for a project.
Figure 1 below illustrates collaboration in a team environment. In this illustration, the project manager is
responsible for collaborating with team members who are in different departments. For example, the project
manager may assign a project administrator who will document the various stages of project development,

BEAUTY AND UGLINESS IN OLMEC MONUMENTAL SCULPTUREAuthor.docx
This document summarizes an article that examines how Olmec monumental sculptures depicted beauty and ugliness. It argues that while Western art has valued naturalism, Olmec art showed the opposite - they appreciated anthropomorphic statues that incorporated feline features, seeing them as representing power and fertility, but disliked the very naturalistic style of colossal heads. These heads likely depicted defeated enemies in ritual battles who could not claim the divine patronage of jaguars and so had to appear as "plain" and ugly people. The document provides examples and descriptions of different Olmec sculptures including emergence monuments, colossal heads, and were-jaguars to support this thesis.

TAX FLIGHT IS A MYTH
Higher State Taxes Bring More Revenue, Not More Migration
By Robert Tannenwald, Jon Shure, and Nicholas Johnson1
Executive Summary
Attacks on sorely-needed increases in state tax revenues often include the unproven claim that tax
hikes will drive large numbers of households — particularly the most affluent — to other states.
The same claim also is used to justify new tax cuts. Compelling evidence shows that this claim is
false. The effects of tax increases on migration are, at most, small — so small that states that raise
income taxes on the most affluent households can be assured of a substantial net gain in revenue.
The basic facts, as this report explains, are as follows:
Migration is not common. Most people have strong ties to their current state, such as job,
home, family, friends, and community. On average, just 1.7 percent of U.S. residents moved
from one state to another per year between 2001 and 2010, and only about 30 percent of those
born in the United States change their state of residence over the course of their entire lifetime.
And when people do relocate, a large body of scholarly evidence shows that they do so
primarily for new jobs, cheaper housing, or a better climate. A person’s age, education, marital
status, and a host of other factors also affect decisions about moving.
The migration that’s occurring is much more likely to be driven by cheaper housing
than by lower taxes. A family might be able to cut its taxes by a few percentage points by
moving from one state to another, but housing costs are far more variable. The difference
between housing costs in two different states is often many times greater than the difference in
taxes. So what might look like migration in search of lower taxes is really often migration for
cheaper housing.
Consider Florida, often claimed as a state that attracts households because of its low taxes
(Florida has no income tax). In the latter half of the 2000s, the previously rapid influx of U.S.
migrants into Florida slowed and then reversed — Florida actually started losing population.
The state enacted no tax policy change that can explain this reversal. What did change was

housing prices. Previously, the state’s lower housing prices had enabled Northeastern
homeowners to increase their personal wealth by selling their pricey houses and purchasing a
comparable or better home in Florida at a lower price. But housing prices in Florida rose
sharply during the mid-2000s, narrowing opportunities for Northeasterners to “trade up” on
their expensive homes. And consider California: its loss of househ.

Chapter 3: Setting Goals and Time Management
Chapter 11: Professionalism in Action
Unit Lesson
José has decided to apply for the position of healthcare administrator at his clinic. Jane suggested that he
should think about where he wants his career to go from the short-term to the long-term before he interviews
for the position she will be vacating next month. She has stressed to him that professionalism, and all that the
term implies, is the key characteristic that the healthcare administration position requires. José will need to
reflect on his goals and the manner in which he presents himself to his colleagues at the clinic.
In Chapter 3 of your textbook, we look at how to set goals and utilize time management skills to enhance our
skills, knowledge, and abilities in the healthcare administration field. Let us look first at the different types of
goals we can set, starting with the types of goals to consider:
personal,
educational,
career, and
community.
Personal goals are the things that make life interesting. We may want to learn to ski or try skydiving one day.
Having personal goals enhances one's self-concepts and self-esteem. They can be as simple as going to a
new movie or planning for retirement.
Education and lifelong learning should be something all professionals keep in mind, and setting educational
goals is an important part of being a professional. Being in this program is clearly a part of an educational
goal that you have set for yourself. Being successful at meeting educational goals also tells others that you
are someone who can meet goals too.
UNIT II STUDY GUIDE
Goals and Professionalism
BHA 3202, Standards for Health Care Staff 2
Another type of goal the healthcare professional must address is the career goal. You have already
demonstrated that you have set a career goal by enrolling in this program and course. While these are clearly
educational goals, they actually are also career goals. As José is learning, advancing in his career at his
healthcare clinic is now a career goal of his and one that he needs to plan for carefully to ensure success.
José is wondering what exactly community goals are and if he has any and just does not know it. As Chapter
3 explains, we are all a part of a community, and we all contribute in some way to our communities. José is a
part of the healthcare clinic community because he and associates go out for dinner once a mo.

This document provides instructions for Laboratory 4 on measuring principal strains and stresses in a cantilever beam. Students will use a strain gage rosette mounted on a pre-gaged cantilever beam to measure strains under different applied loads. They will then calculate the principal strains and stresses from the strain measurements and compare the longitudinal stress to values calculated from beam flexure equations. The goal is to determine the principal strains and stresses in the beam and understand how strain gages can be used to characterize mechanical loading.

goals is an important part of being a professional. Being in this program is clearly a part of an educational
goal that you have set for yourself. Being successful at meeting educational goals also tells others that you
are someone who can meet goals too.

Another type of goal the healthcare professional must address is the career goal. You have already
demonstrated that you have set a career goal by enrolling in this program and course. While these are clearly
educational goals, they actually are also career goals. As José is learning, advancing in his career at his
healthcare clinic is now a career goal of his and one that he needs to plan for carefully to ensure success.
José is wondering what exactly community goals are and if he has any and just does not know it. As Chapter
3 explains, we are all a part of a community, and we all contribute in some way to our communities. José is a
part of the healthcare clinic community because he and associates go out for dinner once a mo.

Human Resource Management and Human Resource Development
Human resource management (HRM) consists of seven functions: strategy and planning, equal employment
opportunities (EEO), talent management, risk management and worker protection, recruitment and staffing,
rewards, and employee and labor relations (Mathis, Jackson, Valentine, & Meglich, 2017). HRM plays a vital
role in human resource development (HRD). In HRM, you have the human resource manager who is
responsible for all functions of human resources (HR), compared to an HRD manager who is solely
responsible for training and development and project management for HR. HRD is the use of training and
development, organizational development, and career development to improve overall effectiveness within
the organization (Noe, 2017). In creating the needed training and development plan for an organization, HRM
and HRD work collaboratively, or it can be an individual effort by each entity. According to Noe (2017),
organizations can allow training to be a part of HRM, but that can lead to less attention being provided and
less focus being applied than when allowing the training aspect to be handled by HRD. Regardless of the
choice, training and development requires a team effort from upper management, middle management,
frontline managers and workers, and others.

Brand Extension Marketing Plan 8
GB530 Brand Extension Marketing Plan: Guide
Introduction
Use this document as your guide to success. All Brand Extension Marketing Plan documents should use 1” margins, 12 pt. font, and include a cover page and a reference page.
For the Brand Extension Marketing Plan Assignments in this class you will not use the usual APA rules which require in-text citations as 1) no marketing plan ever uses direct quoting within its contents, 2) we are making an exception due to the nature of a Marketing Plan Assignment and 3) you will not use double-spacing but instead you will use this document’s formatting.
It is important that you write your Brand Extension Marketing Plan in third person (there is no “I” in a marketing plan), using your own words, and/or paraphrasing instead of direct quoting. Once deposited into the Dropbox for grading, Brand Extension Marketing Plan Assignments are submitted to Turnitin® for a potential plagiarism review, so it continues to be important for you never to use anyone else’s words verbatim.
For each of the Brand Extension Marketing Plan Assignments, you should list, on the reference page, all of the references you used when preparing your plan. Again, you do not need to include the in-text parentheses noting references and timeframes as normally required in our APA Assignments, but you do need to use APA to format your references list. If you have any questions on this exception to using APA, let me know.
All the components of the Marketing Plan are assessed using the following:
Subject Mastery Rubric: Knowledge (Can define major ideas) or Comprehension (Can discuss major ideas) or Application (Can apply major concepts to new situations).
A MARKETING PLAN IS THE FOUNDATION FOR ALL MARKETING EFFORTSBeginning your Brand Extension Marketing Plan: The Product Proposal
The major project in this course is to complete a Brand Extension Marketing Plan for one new product on the behalf of an existing for-profit organization.
As you begin your project, you need to first assume you have the role of a marketing manager for one,new, currently not available from your selected Brand Company, product on the behalf of a real, for-profit organization. Consider this a “brand extension”: you are adding a product to an existing company’s product line.
Think about your selection – the proposal is for a New Product for a New Market of consumers! Extend the Brand Name into new product markets by offering a “new to the company” product.
Companies may do this by buying an existing product, or importing a new product and putting their brand name on it – or they develop their own product to compete in the new market.

Building a Dynamic Organization The Stanley Lynch Investme.docx
" Building a Dynamic Organization
The Stanley Lynch Investment Group is a large investment firm headquartered in New York. The firm has 12 major investment funds, each with analysts operating in a separate department. Along with knowledge of the financial markets and the businesses it analyzes, Stanley Lynch’s competitive advantage comes from its advanced and reliable computer systems. Thus an effective information technology (IT) divi-sion is a strategic necessity, and the company’s chief infor-mation officer (CIO) holds a key role at the firm.
When the company hired J. T. Kundra as a manager of technology, he learned that the IT division at Stanley Lynch consisted of 68 employees, most of whom specialized in serving the needs of a particular fund. The IT employees serving a fund operated as a distinct group, each of them led by a manager who supervised several employees. (Five employees reported to J. T.)
He also learned that each group set up its own computer system to store information about its projects. The problems with that arrangement quickly became evident. As J. T. tried to direct his group’s work, he would ask for documentation of one program or another. Sometimes, no one was sure where to find the documentation; often he would get three different responses from three different people with three versions of the documentation. And if he was interested in another group’s project or a software program used in another department, getting information was next to impos-sible. He lacked the authority to ask employees in another group to drop what they were doing to hunt down informa-tion he needed.
J. T. concluded that the entire IT division could serve the firm much better if all authorized people had easy access to the work that had already been done and the software that was available. The logical place to store that informa-tion was online. He wanted to get all IT projects set up in a cloud so that file sharing, and therefore knowledge sharing, would be more efficient and reliable. A challenge would be to get the other IT groups to buy in to the new system given that he had authority over so few of the IT workers.
J. T. started by working with his group to blueprint how the system would work. Then he met with two higher-level managers who report to the CIO. He showed them the plan and explained that fast access to information would improve the IT group’s quality and efficiency, thus increasing the pro-ductivity of the entire firm. He suggested that the managers require all IT employees to use the cloud system. He even persuaded them that their use of the system should be mea-sured for performance appraisals, which directly impacts annual bonuses.
The various IT groups quickly came to appreciate that the system would enhance performance. Adoption was swift, and before long, the IT employees came to think of it as one of their most important software systems.

Globalization
Today, every part of the world is connected, and no country can be completely secluded and stand by itself.
In other words, countries in a global economy must be interdependent. Throughout this course, you will learn
how a nation interacts with other countries in the global economy. More specifically, you will understand how
principles of economics can be applied to the global economy where countries are interdependent.
There are a number of advantages and disadvantages to globalization as listed in the chart below from the
textbook.
The Unit l Lesson provides some new perspectives on various stages of globalization. Baldwin (2016) briefly
summarizes four important phases of globalization that occurred during the past 200,000 years. The textbook
stresses the fact that the third phase of globalization began with the steam engine and other significant
improvements in transportation, increasing trade in goods and services among different parts of the world
(Carbaugh, 2017). The fourth phase of globalization, which is not mentioned in our textbook, involves the
transfer of rich-country technologies to workers in poor countries. This, in turn, has increased productivity and
expedited industrialization in those poor countries. Baldwin (2016) argues that a reorientation of strategy and
policy in both rich and poor countries is necessary. Rich countries need to develop better rules for governing
foreign investment and intellectual property rights as well as concentrate on the training and welfare of
workers rather than the preservation of particular jobs.

Unit Lesson
This unit begins with a brief history of team building. The first efforts to improve organizations came from T-
groups (training groups) and from the National Training Laboratories in Silver Spring, Maryland. Participants
in T-groups learned to communicate in a more open and honest manner, accept responsibility for their
behavior, and engage in relationships based on equality rather than on hierarchy or status. In 1968, Campbell
and Dunnette conducted a study of the impact of T-groups on organizational performance. They concluded
that while T-groups did help individuals become more comfortable with their ability to manage interpersonal
relationships, T-groups had virtually no impact on organization or team performance. The team-building
paradigm was created to shift from an unstructured T-group to a more focused and defined process for
training a group in collaborative work and problem solving.

Evidence-Based Performance Measures
One of the hottest topics in healthcare administration today is evidence-based performance, and you certainly
need a solid understanding of this process in order to function effectively as a healthcare leader moving into
the future. American health care needs to improve. There is no doubt about that. Americans deserve more
bang for the buck that they spend on medical services. One of the most important initiatives to make that
happen is a move to more evidence-based practice.
What evidence-based performance is truly all about, first and foremost, is the patient (UT Health, 2015). In
particular, it is all about making sure that the patient receives care based upon the best and latest research
that is available for the patient’s own particular health problem or set of health problems. It is about giving the
right care, every time, for every patient. Other benefits of a solid evidence-based medicine program include
the ability to assure your own community that your hospital provides high quality care and that you are doing
your own quality review studies to make sure of this. Finally, evidence-based medicine makes sense because

the Centers for Medicare Services (CMS) demands it of us. They will actually pay us more for our services if

Porter’s five forces model. In this unit, we will discuss the basic concepts of hardware and software. We will
also discuss open source software development and database management systems and compare the
differences between native and thin-client applications. Lastly, we will explore mobile systems and the

It is important that business professionals understand hardware components, types of hardware, and
computer data. We will start with bits and bytes. Computers use bits to represent basic units of data such as
ones and zeros. You should know the difference between bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes,
terabytes, petabytes, and exabytes (see Figure 1).

Title
A byte generally contains eight bits. A switch can be open or closed. An open switch represents 0 or off, and
a closed switch represents 1 or on. Bits are basic units of data, such as ones and zeros, while data can be
represented by variables such as numbers, images, graphics, and characters to name a few (Kroenke &
Boyle, 2017).
The categories of computer software are clients and servers. Personal computers (PCs) use non-mobile
operating systems (OSs) such as Microsoft (MS) Windows and Apple Macintosh (Mac) OS X. Remember that
OSs are developed for specific hardware and are often referred to as native applications. In other words, MS
Windows was created specifically for hardware-based PC systems, so you cannot install MS Windows on an
Apple Mac as a base OS, nor can you install the Apple OS on a PC-based.

Afro-Asian Inquiry and the
Problematics of Comparative Critique
A N T O N I O T. T I O N G S O N J R .
This article represents a critical engagement with the “comparative turn” in ethnic studies; that is, an interrogation of the broader implications of
the ascendancy and valorization of comparative critique as a central cate-
gory of analysis and an index of contemporary ethnic studies scholarship
through a critical consideration of a select body of writing predicated on a
comparative approach. Spurred by the perceived inadequacies of a biracial
framing and theorizing of race and racialization (i.e., the so-called black/
white paradigm), thinking comparatively has become an imperative to the
project of ethnic studies, heralding a paradigmatic and analytic shift and
inaugurating what one cultural analyst describes as a new stage in the evo-
lution of ethnic studies, “one long postponed by a standoff between a mul-
tiracial model limited by a national horizon and a diasporic model that
lacked historical ground for conducting cross-racial analysis.”1
As a number of race and ethnic studies scholars posit, comparative anal-
ysis is increasingly viewed as indispensable to the project of ethnic studies.
In an edited volume titled Black and Brown in Los Angeles: Beyond Con-
flict and Coalition, for example, Josh Kun and Laura Pulido make the point
that comparative ethnic studies has emerged “as a substantive field within

Liabilities
In the accounting equation, assets = liabilities + equity, we can see that there are two claims to the assets of a
business—creditors and owners. The accounting equation can also be written as: assets – liabilities = equity.
In this equation, we can see that the liabilities of a business require the use of assets to satisfy the amount
owed.
A liability is an amount owed to lenders, suppliers, or government agencies and requires the use of assets or
future revenues to satisfy the debt. There are two categories of liabilities—current and long term. A current
liability is the amount owed that must be paid within one year or within the company’s operating cycle,
whichever is longer (Miller-Nobles, Mattison, & Matsumura, 2018).
The most common current liability is accounts payable. An account payable is an amount due a vendor or
supplies for products, supplies or services (Miller-Nobles et al., 2018). Retail businesses will also have sales
tax payable. Sales tax payable is the amount of sales tax collected by the retailer that must be remitted to the
tax agencies (Miller-Nobles et al., 2018). Because the accounts payable and sales tax payable are due within
one year (generally due within 30 days) they are a current liability.
Some businesses will receive cash payments in advance of providing a service, which is referred to as
unearned revenue (or deferred revenue). Many gyms and fitness centers will have deferred revenue. If you
have ever paid for a year’s membership at the beginning of the year to receive a discount, then you were
involved in a transaction with unearned revenue. The gym does not earn the revenue until they have provided
you with the monthly membership.
For example: If you were to purchase a one year.

Art & Identity Research Project
15 points / 15% of final grade
Submit via the link provided in Canvas.
OVERVIEW
For this final project you will research two (2) contemporary artists who deal with the theme of
identity. In addition, you will reflect upon and propose an imagined artwork that relates to your own
concept of identity. (Do not worry if you are not artistically inclined, you are NOT expected to create an
actual finished art piece; it is merely a proposal for something you imagine.). The final project will be
presented as a well-researched PowerPoint presentation. Scholarly research and a Works Cited
page/slide are important components of this project.
HOW TO PREPARE
1. Engage with the presentation: “Art & Identity”
2. Read/review the following from the textbook: Chapter 4.9 (The Body in Art) and 4.10 (Identity, Race, &
Gender in Art); pp. 189 (grey box); 357-359
ARTIST RESEARCH
1. Choose two (2) artists from the list on page three of these instructions. Research your
chosen artists in relation to their interest in a theme of “Identity”.
2. You must use at least three different types of sources in your research project: The artwork
itself will be one source – the most important primary source. Therefore, you must research and
find at least two (2) other types of sources (interview with the artists, scholarly articles, books,
museum website etc.) to use in your study. Most will need to exceed this minimum for a robust
presentation. See page 189 of your textbook for a list of possible primary and secondary sources.
Further resources on how to get started are found in the subheading “Resources” below. You can
find many sources in the library or in one of the library’s databases.
3. Your selection of artists should be intentional and surround a specific sub-topic of identity.
Your research should not focus on identity in only a broad and general way. Clearly identify the sub-
topic that relates to your artists. For example, you may find artists that are similarly interested in
any of the following sub-topics below:
the fluidity of identity
deconstructing cultural, social, or political difference
feminist critique
diversity or artists who create work that explores related cultures, groups, or societies
You may consider choosing artists that work in the same medium (for example, performance
art, painting, or installation) and how that material choice imparts meaning to their work.
4. After selecting your sub-topic and artists, you must decide on a title for your project.

5. Your research into the artists should include biographical information and an examination of the
artists’ approaches. In a PowerPoint presentation of your research, include the following:
a. Biographies of each artist:
i. Image of the artist (photo, sketch, etc.)
ii. Brief biography:.

Introduction
Effective communication is a key component to a successful business. The ability of each employee to
communicate on an individual basis and on an organizational level is vital. The ability of an organization to
communicate its message to both its employees and its customers can often determine the success or failure
of a business venture.

A PURE THEORY OF LOCAL EXPENDITURES'
CHARLES M. TIEBOUT
Northwestern University
NE of the most important recent
developments in the area of
"applied economic theory" has
been the work of Musgrave and Samuel-
son in public finance theory.2 The two
writers agree on what is probably the
major point under investigation, namely,
that no "market type" solution exists to
determine the level of expenditures on
public goods. Seemingly, we are faced
with the problem of having a rather
large portion of our national income
allocated in a "non-optimal" way when
compared with the private sector.
This discussion will show that the
Musgrave-Samuelson analysis, which is
valid for federal expenditures, need not
apply to local expenditures. The plan of
the discussion is first to restate the as-
sumptions made by Musgrave and
Samuelson and the central problems with
which they deal. After looking at a key
difference between the federal versus
local cases, I shall present a simple
model. This model yields a solution for
the level of expenditures for local public
goods which reflects the preferences of
the population more adequately than
they can be reflected at the national
level. The assumptions of the model will
then be relaxed to see what implications
are involved. Finally, policy considera-
tions will be discussed.
THE THEORETICAL ISSUE
Samuelson has defined public goods as
"collective consumption goods (Xn + 1,
. . ., XX + n) which all enjoy in com-
mon in the sense that each individual's
consumption of such a good leads to no
subtraction from any other individual's
consumption of that good, so that
X,, + j = XI + j simultaneously for
each and every ith individual and each
collecti.

Time Management
prioritizing tasks, preventing proCrastination,
and promoting produCtivity
The major difference [between
high school and college] is
time. You have so much free
time on your hands that you
don’t know what to do for
most of the time.”
—First-year college student (Erickson
& Strommer, Teaching College
Freshmen)
”
Time is a valuable personal resource—if you gain greater control of it, you gain greater
control of your life. Time managed well not only enables you to get work done in a timely
manner; it also enables you to set and attain personal priorities and maintain balance in
your life. This chapter offers a comprehensive set of strategies for managing time, combat-
ing procrastination, and ensuring that you spend time in a way that aligns with your
educational goals and priorities.
Equip you with a powerful set of strategies for setting priorities, planning time, and
completing tasks in a timely and productive manner.
Reflection 4.1
Complete the following sentence with the first thought that comes to your mind:
For me, time is . . .
The Importance of Time Management
To have any realistic chance of attaining our goals, we need an intentional and stra-
tegic plan for spending our time in a way that aligns with our goals and enables us
to make steady progress toward them. Thus, setting goals, reaching goals, and man-
aging time are interrelated skills.
Most college students struggle to at least some extent with time management,
particularly first-year students who are transitioning from the lockstep schedules of
high school to the more unstructured time associated with college course schedules.
National surveys indicate that almost 50% of first-year college students report dif-
ficulty managing their time effectively (HERI, 2014). In college, time-management
skills grow in importance because students’ time is less structured or controlled by
school authorities or family members and more responsibility is placed on students
to make their own decisions about how their time will be spent. Furthermore, the
academic calendar and class scheduling patterns in college differ radically from
high school. There’s less “seat time” in class each week and college students are ex-
pected to do much more academic work on their courses outside of class time,
which leaves them with a lot more “free time” to manage.

Barbara Ehrenreich, Serving in Florida” Picture a fat .docx
Barbara Ehrenreich, “Serving in Florida”
Picture a fat person's hell, and I don't mean a place with no food. Instead
there is everything you might eat if eating had no bodily consequences -
cheese fries, chicken-fried steaks, fudge-laden desserts - only here every
bite must be paid for, one way or another, in human discomfort. The
kitchen is a cavern, a stomach leading to the lower intestine that is the
garbage and dishwashing area, from which issue bizarre smells combining
the edible and the offal: creamy carrion, pizza barf, and that unique and
enigmatic Jerry's scent - citrus fart. The floor is slick with spills, forcing us
to walk through the kitchen with tiny steps, like Susan McDougal in leg
irons. Sinks everywhere are clogged with scraps of lettuce, decomposing
lemon wedges, waterlogged toast crusts. Put your hand down on any
counter and you risk being stuck to it by the film of ancient syrup spills,
and this is unfortunate, because hands are utensils here, used for scooping
up lettuce onto salad plates, lifting out pie slices, and even moving hash
browns from one plate to another. The regulation poster in the single
unisex restroom admonishes us to wash our hands thoroughly and even
offers instructions for doing so, but there is always some vital substance
missing - soap, paper towels, toilet paper - and I never find all three at
once. You learn to stuff your pockets with napkins before going in there,
and too bad about the customers, who must eat, though they don't realize
this, almost literally out of our hands.
The break room typifies the whole situation: there is none, because there
are no breaks at Jerry's. For six to eight hours in a row, you never sit except
to pee. Actually, there are three folding chairs at a table immediately
adjacent to the bathroom, but hardly anyone ever sits here, in the very
rectum of the gastro-architectural system. Rather, the function of the
peritoilet area is to house the ashtrays in which servers and dishwashers
leave their cigarettes burning at all times, like votive candles, so that they
don't have to waste time lighting up again when they dash back for a puff.
Almost everyone smokes as if his or her pulmonary well-being depended
on it - the multinational melange of cooks, the Czech dishwashers, the
servers, who are all American natives - creating an atmosphere in which
oxygen is only an occasional pollutant. My first morning at Jerry's, when
the hypoglycemic shakes set in, I complain to one of my fellow servers that
I don't understand how she can go so long without food. "Well, I don't
understand how you can go so long without a cigarette," she responds in a
tone of reproach - because work is what you do for others; smoking is what
you do for yourself. I don't know why the antismoking crusaders have
never grasped the element of defiant self-nurturance that makes the habit
so endearing to its victims - as if, in the American workplace, the only

About me/Introduction
Eportfolio is one of the most successful assignments that I learned in PMU. So, most of
the students in PMU had a good experience with this assignment, because it is very
helpful and effective for the students to share their experience in the six competences.
Also, most of the students can learn from each other by looking to each student’s
experience. These six competences are very helpful for the students, because they will
know the importance of the communication and teamwork to do our work in the life.
Also, they will know the relationship between being a leadership and professional.
This is Ahmed Alramadan, I am a sophomore student at prince Mohammed Bin Fahd in
Saudi Arabia. I am studying a mechanical engineering in the college of engineering. I
chose this major because I want to be one of the most successful engineers in the Saudi
Arabia. Moreover, most of the companies in the Saudi Arabia need a lot of engineers’
specially mechanical engineers. Also, I interest in this major because I have a huge
information about the Mechanical engineering and I interest to work with engines, design
and manufacturing.
Professional Goals
My short term goal is to graduate from prince Mohammed Bin Fahd University in
mechanical engineering after two years.
My long term goal is to keep going in studying and having a master in management, then
I will start to do my project as establishing a company for manufacturing and designing
engines.
Competencies
The six core competences are one of the most important goals that PMU needs from all
the students to know these competences and apply it in their life. You cannot pass the
core if you do not know the competences and the importance of these competences in our
life.

Human resource management (HRM) consists of seven functions: strategy and planning, equal employment
opportunities (EEO), talent management, risk management and worker protection, recruitment and staffing,
rewards, and employee and labor relations (Mathis, Jackson, Valentine, & Meglich, 2017). HRM plays a vital
role in human resource development (HRD). In HRM, you have the human resource manager who is
responsible for all functions of human resources (HR), compared to an HRD manager who is solely
responsible for training and development and project management for HR. HRD is the use of training and
development, organizational development, and career development to improve overall effectiveness within
the organization (Noe, 2017). In creating the needed training and development plan for an organization, HRM
and HRD work collaboratively, or it can be an individual effort by each entity. According to Noe (2017),
organizations can allow training to be a part of HRM, but that can lead to less attention being provided and
less focus being applied than when allowing the training aspect to be handled by HRD. Regardless of the
choice, training and development requires a team effort from upper management, middle management,
frontline managers and workers, and others.

What Is Learning?
Learning is when employees acquire “knowledge, skills, competencies, attitudes, or behaviors” (Noe, 2017,
p. 5). During the learning and training processes, you must consider your audience type(s) and the learning
style(s) of your audience members. Your audience types can consist of high-tech, low-tech, or lay audience
members or a combination of these types. With learning styles ranging from tactile learners to auditory
learners to visual learners, you, as the manager, must be able to deliver training .

Brand Extension Marketing Plan 8
GB530 Brand Extension Marketing Plan: Guide
Introduction
Use this document as your guide to success. All Brand Extension Marketing Plan documents should use 1” margins, 12 pt. font, and include a cover page and a reference page.
For the Brand Extension Marketing Plan Assignments in this class you will not use the usual APA rules which require in-text citations as 1) no marketing plan ever uses direct quoting within its contents, 2) we are making an exception due to the nature of a Marketing Plan Assignment and 3) you will not use double-spacing but instead you will use this document’s formatting.
It is important that you write your Brand Extension Marketing Plan in third person (there is no “I” in a marketing plan), using your own words, and/or paraphrasing instead of direct quoting. Once deposited into the Dropbox for grading, Brand Extension Marketing Plan Assignments are submitted to Turnitin® for a potential plagiarism review, so it continues to be important for you never to use anyone else’s words verbatim.
For each of the Brand Extension Marketing Plan Assignments, you should list, on the reference page, all of the references you used when preparing your plan. Again, you do not need to include the in-text parentheses noting references and timeframes as normally required in our APA Assignments, but you do need to use APA to format your references list. If you have any questions on this exception to using APA, let me know.
All the components of the Marketing Plan are assessed using the following:
Subject Mastery Rubric: Knowledge (Can define major ideas) or Comprehension (Can discuss major ideas) or Application (Can apply major concepts to new situations).
A MARKETING PLAN IS THE FOUNDATION FOR ALL MARKETING EFFORTSBeginning your Brand Extension Marketing Plan: The Product Proposal
The major project in this course is to complete a Brand Extension Marketing Plan for one new product on the behalf of an existing for-profit organization.
As you begin your project, you need to first assume you have the role of a marketing manager for one,new, currently not available from your selected Brand Company, product on the behalf of a real, for-profit organization. Consider this a “brand extension”: you are adding a product to an existing company’s product line.
Think about your selection – the proposal is for a New Product for a New Market of consumers! Extend the Brand Name into new product markets by offering a “new to the company” product.
Companies may do this by buying an existing product, or importing a new product and putting their brand name on it – or they develop their own product to compete in the new market.
Module 1 BEMP Proposal - What will your project be about?
Submit your response to the following questions as a Product Proposal:
1. What is the brand name of your for-profit business/organization?

Building a Dynamic Organization The Stanley Lynch Investme.docx
" Building a Dynamic Organization
The Stanley Lynch Investment Group is a large investment firm headquartered in New York. The firm has 12 major investment funds, each with analysts operating in a separate department. Along with knowledge of the financial markets and the businesses it analyzes, Stanley Lynch’s competitive advantage comes from its advanced and reliable computer systems. Thus an effective information technology (IT) divi-sion is a strategic necessity, and the company’s chief infor-mation officer (CIO) holds a key role at the firm.
When the company hired J. T. Kundra as a manager of technology, he learned that the IT division at Stanley Lynch consisted of 68 employees, most of whom specialized in serving the needs of a particular fund. The IT employees serving a fund operated as a distinct group, each of them led by a manager who supervised several employees. (Five employees reported to J. T.)
He also learned that each group set up its own computer system to store information about its projects. The problems with that arrangement quickly became evident. As J. T. tried to direct his group’s work, he would ask for documentation of one program or another. Sometimes, no one was sure where to find the documentation; often he would get three different responses from three different people with three versions of the documentation. And if he was interested in another group’s project or a software program used in another department, getting information was next to impos-sible. He lacked the authority to ask employees in another group to drop what they were doing to hunt down informa-tion he needed.
J. T. concluded that the entire IT division could serve the firm much better if all authorized people had easy access to the work that had already been done and the software that was available. The logical place to store that informa-tion was online. He wanted to get all IT projects set up in a cloud so that file sharing, and therefore knowledge sharing, would be more efficient and reliable. A challenge would be to get the other IT groups to buy in to the new system given that he had authority over so few of the IT workers.
J. T. started by working with his group to blueprint how the system would work. Then he met with two higher-level managers who report to the CIO. He showed them the plan and explained that fast access to information would improve the IT group’s quality and efficiency, thus increasing the pro-ductivity of the entire firm. He suggested that the managers require all IT employees to use the cloud system. He even persuaded them that their use of the system should be mea-sured for performance appraisals, which directly impacts annual bonuses.
The various IT groups quickly came to appreciate that the system would enhance performance. Adoption was swift, and before long, the IT employees came to think of it as one of their most important software systems.

Globalization
Today, every part of the world is connected, and no country can be completely secluded and stand by itself.
In other words, countries in a global economy must be interdependent. Throughout this course, you will learn
how a nation interacts with other countries in the global economy. More specifically, you will understand how
principles of economics can be applied to the global economy where countries are interdependent.
There are a number of advantages and disadvantages to globalization as listed in the chart below from the
textbook.
The Unit l Lesson provides some new perspectives on various stages of globalization. Baldwin (2016) briefly
summarizes four important phases of globalization that occurred during the past 200,000 years. The textbook
stresses the fact that the third phase of globalization began with the steam engine and other significant
improvements in transportation, increasing trade in goods and services among different parts of the world
(Carbaugh, 2017). The fourth phase of globalization, which is not mentioned in our textbook, involves the
transfer of rich-country technologies to workers in poor countries. This, in turn, has increased productivity and
expedited industrialization in those poor countries. Baldwin (2016) argues that a reorientation of strategy and
policy in both rich and poor countries is necessary. Rich countries need to develop better rules for governing
foreign investment and intellectual property rights as well as concentrate on the training and welfare of
workers rather than the preservation of particular jobs.

Unit Lesson
This unit begins with a brief history of team building. The first efforts to improve organizations came from T-
groups (training groups) and from the National Training Laboratories in Silver Spring, Maryland. Participants
in T-groups learned to communicate in a more open and honest manner, accept responsibility for their
behavior, and engage in relationships based on equality rather than on hierarchy or status. In 1968, Campbell
and Dunnette conducted a study of the impact of T-groups on organizational performance. They concluded
that while T-groups did help individuals become more comfortable with their ability to manage interpersonal
relationships, T-groups had virtually no impact on organization or team performance. The team-building
paradigm was created to shift from an unstructured T-group to a more focused and defined process for
training a group in collaborative work and problem solving.

Evidence-Based Performance Measures
One of the hottest topics in healthcare administration today is evidence-based performance, and you certainly
need a solid understanding of this process in order to function effectively as a healthcare leader moving into
the future. American health care needs to improve. There is no doubt about that. Americans deserve more
bang for the buck that they spend on medical services. One of the most important initiatives to make that
happen is a move to more evidence-based practice.
What evidence-based performance is truly all about, first and foremost, is the patient (UT Health, 2015). In
particular, it is all about making sure that the patient receives care based upon the best and latest research
that is available for the patient’s own particular health problem or set of health problems. It is about giving the
right care, every time, for every patient. Other benefits of a solid evidence-based medicine program include
the ability to assure your own community that your hospital provides high quality care and that you are doing
your own quality review studies to make sure of this. Finally, evidence-based medicine makes sense because

the Centers for Medicare Services (CMS) demands it of us. They will actually pay us more for our services if

Porter’s five forces model. In this unit, we will discuss the basic concepts of hardware and software. We will
also discuss open source software development and database management systems and compare the
differences between native and thin-client applications. Lastly, we will explore mobile systems and the
characteristics of quality mobile user experiences.
It is important that business professionals understand hardware components, types of hardware, and
computer data. We will start with bits and bytes. Computers use bits to represent basic units of data such as
ones and zeros. You should know the difference between bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes,
terabytes, petabytes, and exabytes (see Figure 1).

A byte generally contains eight bits. A switch can be open or closed. An open switch represents 0 or off, and
a closed switch represents 1 or on. Bits are basic units of data, such as ones and zeros, while data can be
represented by variables such as numbers, images, graphics, and characters to name a few (Kroenke &
Boyle, 2017).
The categories of computer software are clients and servers. Personal computers (PCs) use non-mobile
operating systems (OSs) such as Microsoft (MS) Windows and Apple Macintosh (Mac) OS X. Remember that
OSs are developed for specific hardware and are often referred to as native applications. In other words, MS
Windows was created specifically for hardware-based PC systems, so you cannot install MS Windows on an
Apple Mac as a base OS, nor can you install the Apple OS on a PC-based.

This article represents a critical engagement with the “comparative turn” in ethnic studies; that is, an interrogation of the broader implications of
the ascendancy and valorization of comparative critique as a central cate-
gory of analysis and an index of contemporary ethnic studies scholarship
through a critical consideration of a select body of writing predicated on a
comparative approach. Spurred by the perceived inadequacies of a biracial
framing and theorizing of race and racialization (i.e., the so-called black/
white paradigm), thinking comparatively has become an imperative to the
project of ethnic studies, heralding a paradigmatic and analytic shift and
inaugurating what one cultural analyst describes as a new stage in the evo-
lution of ethnic studies, “one long postponed by a standoff between a mul-
tiracial model limited by a national horizon and a diasporic model that
lacked historical ground for conducting cross-racial analysis.”1
As a number of race and ethnic studies scholars posit, comparative anal-
ysis is increasingly viewed as indispensable to the project of ethnic studies.
In an edited volume titled Black and Brown in Los Angeles: Beyond Con-
flict and Coalition, for example, Josh Kun and Laura Pulido make the point
that comparative ethnic studies has emerged “as a substantive field within
the discipline of ethnic studies itself,” generating a fairly robust and rapidly
expanding archive of comparative scholarship.2 Echoing these remarks,

Liabilities
In the accounting equation, assets = liabilities + equity, we can see that there are two claims to the assets of a
business—creditors and owners. The accounting equation can also be written as: assets – liabilities = equity.
In this equation, we can see that the liabilities of a business require the use of assets to satisfy the amount
owed.
A liability is an amount owed to lenders, suppliers, or government agencies and requires the use of assets or
future revenues to satisfy the debt. There are two categories of liabilities—current and long term. A current
liability is the amount owed that must be paid within one year or within the company’s operating cycle,
whichever is longer (Miller-Nobles, Mattison, & Matsumura, 2018).
The most common current liability is accounts payable. An account payable is an amount due a vendor or
supplies for products, supplies or services (Miller-Nobles et al., 2018). Retail businesses will also have sales
tax payable. Sales tax payable is the amount of sales tax collected by the retailer that must be remitted to the
tax agencies (Miller-Nobles et al., 2018). Because the accounts payable and sales tax payable are due within
one year (generally due within 30 days) they are a current liability.
Some businesses will receive cash payments in advance of providing a service, which is referred to as
unearned revenue (or deferred revenue). Many gyms and fitness centers will have deferred revenue. If you
have ever paid for a year’s membership at the beginning of the year to receive a discount, then you were
involved in a transaction with unearned revenue. The gym does not earn the revenue until they have provided
you with the monthly membership.
For example: If you were to purchase a one year.

Art & Identity Research Project
15 points / 15% of final grade
Submit via the link provided in Canvas.
OVERVIEW
For this final project you will research two (2) contemporary artists who deal with the theme of
identity. In addition, you will reflect upon and propose an imagined artwork that relates to your own
concept of identity. (Do not worry if you are not artistically inclined, you are NOT expected to create an
actual finished art piece; it is merely a proposal for something you imagine.). The final project will be
presented as a well-researched PowerPoint presentation. Scholarly research and a Works Cited
page/slide are important components of this project.
HOW TO PREPARE
1. Engage with the presentation: “Art & Identity”
2. Read/review the following from the textbook: Chapter 4.9 (The Body in Art) and 4.10 (Identity, Race, &
Gender in Art); pp. 189 (grey box); 357-359
ARTIST RESEARCH
1. Choose two (2) artists from the list on page three of these instructions. Research your
chosen artists in relation to their interest in a theme of “Identity”.
2. You must use at least three different types of sources in your research project: The artwork
itself will be one source – the most important primary source. Therefore, you must research and
find at least two (2) other types of sources (interview with the artists, scholarly articles, books,
museum website etc.) to use in your study. Most will need to exceed this minimum for a robust
presentation. See page 189 of your textbook for a list of possible primary and secondary sources.
Further resources on how to get started are found in the subheading “Resources” below. You can
find many sources in the library or in one of the library’s databases.
3. Your selection of artists should be intentional and surround a specific sub-topic of identity.
Your research should not focus on identity in only a broad and general way. Clearly identify the sub-
topic that relates to your artists. For example, you may find artists that are similarly interested in
any of the following sub-topics below:
the fluidity of identity
deconstructing cultural, social, or political difference
feminist critique
diversity or artists who create work that explores related cultures, groups, or societies

Introduction
Effective communication is a key component to a successful business. The ability of each employee to
communicate on an individual basis and on an organizational level is vital. The ability of an organization to
communicate its message to both its employees and its customers can often determine the success or failure
of a business venture.

A PURE THEORY OF LOCAL EXPENDITURES'
CHARLES M. TIEBOUT
Northwestern University
NE of the most important recent
developments in the area of
"applied economic theory" has
been the work of Musgrave and Samuel-
son in public finance theory.2 The two
writers agree on what is probably the
major point under investigation, namely,
that no "market type" solution exists to
determine the level of expenditures on
public goods. Seemingly, we are faced
with the problem of having a rather
large portion of our national income
allocated in a "non-optimal" way when
compared with the private sector.
This discussion will show that the
Musgrave-Samuelson analysis, which is
valid for federal expenditures, need not
apply to local expenditures. The plan of
the discussion is first to restate the as-
sumptions made by Musgrave and
Samuelson and the central problems with
which they deal. After looking at a key
difference between the federal versus
local cases, I shall present a simple
model. This model yields a solution for
the level of expenditures for local public
goods which reflects the preferences of
the population more adequately than
they can be reflected at the national
level. The assumptions of the model will
then be relaxed to see what implications
are involved. Finally, policy considera-
tions will be discussed.
THE THEORETICAL ISSUE
Samuelson has defined public goods as
"collective consumption goods (Xn + 1,
. . ., XX + n) which all enjoy in com-
mon in the sense that each individual's
consumption of such a good leads to no
subtraction from any other individual's
consumption of that good, so that
X,, + j = XI + j simultaneously for
each and every ith individual and each
collecti.

Time Management
prioritizing tasks, preventing proCrastination,
and promoting produCtivity
The major difference [between
high school and college] is
time. You have so much free
time on your hands that you
don’t know what to do for
most of the time.”
—First-year college student (Erickson
& Strommer, Teaching College
Freshmen)
”
Time is a valuable personal resource—if you gain greater control of it, you gain greater
control of your life. Time managed well not only enables you to get work done in a timely
manner; it also enables you to set and attain personal priorities and maintain balance in
your life. This chapter offers a comprehensive set of strategies for managing time, combat-
ing procrastination, and ensuring that you spend time in a way that aligns with your
educational goals and priorities.
Equip you with a powerful set of strategies for setting priorities, planning time, and
completing tasks in a timely and productive manner.
Reflection 4.1
Complete the following sentence with the first thought that comes to your mind:
For me, time is . . .
The Importance of Time Management
To have any realistic chance of attaining our goals, we need an intentional and stra-
tegic plan for spending our time in a way that aligns with our goals and enables us
to make steady progress toward them. Thus, setting goals, reaching goals, and man-
aging time are interrelated skills.
Most college students struggle to at least some extent with time management,
particularly first-year students who are transitioning from the lockstep schedules of
high school to the more unstructured time associated with college course schedules.
National surveys indicate that almost 50% of first-year college students report dif-
ficulty managing their time effectively (HERI, 2014). In college, time-management
skills grow in importance because students’ time is less structured or controlled by
school authorities or family members and more responsibility is placed on students
to make their own decisions about how their time will be spent. Furthermore, the
academic calendar and class scheduling patterns in college differ radically from
high school. There’s less “seat time” in class each week and college students are ex-
pected to do much more academic work on their courses outside of class time,
which leaves them with a lot more “free time” to manage.

“I cannot stress enough that you need to intelligently

—Advice to new college students
from a student finishing his first

Simply stated, college students who have difficulty managing their time have
difficulty managing college. One study compared college sophomores who had an
outstanding first year (both academically and personally) with sophomores who
struggled in their first year. Interviews with both groups revealed there was one key
difference between .
Barbara Ehrenreich, Serving in Florida” Picture a fat .docx
Barbara Ehrenreich, “Serving in Florida”
Picture a fat person's hell, and I don't mean a place with no food. Instead
there is everything you might eat if eating had no bodily consequences -
cheese fries, chicken-fried steaks, fudge-laden desserts - only here every
bite must be paid for, one way or another, in human discomfort. The
kitchen is a cavern, a stomach leading to the lower intestine that is the
garbage and dishwashing area, from which issue bizarre smells combining
the edible and the offal: creamy carrion, pizza barf, and that unique and
enigmatic Jerry's scent - citrus fart. The floor is slick with spills, forcing us
to walk through the kitchen with tiny steps, like Susan McDougal in leg
irons. Sinks everywhere are clogged with scraps of lettuce, decomposing
lemon wedges, waterlogged toast crusts. Put your hand down on any
counter and you risk being stuck to it by the film of ancient syrup spills,
and this is unfortunate, because hands are utensils here, used for scooping
up lettuce onto salad plates, lifting out pie slices, and even moving hash
browns from one plate to another. The regulation poster in the single
unisex restroom admonishes us to wash our hands thoroughly and even
offers instructions for doing so, but there is always some vital substance
missing - soap, paper towels, toilet paper - and I never find all three at
once. You learn to stuff your pockets with napkins before going in there,
and too bad about the customers, who must eat, though they don't realize
this, almost literally out of our hands.
The break room typifies the whole situation: there is none, because there
are no breaks at Jerry's. For six to eight hours in a row, you never sit except
to pee. Actually, there are three folding chairs at a table immediately
adjacent to the bathroom, but hardly anyone ever sits here, in the very
rectum of the gastro-architectural system. Rather, the function of the
peritoilet area is to house the ashtrays in which servers and dishwashers
leave their cigarettes burning at all times, like votive candles, so that they
don't have to waste time lighting up again when they dash back for a puff.
Almost everyone smokes as if his or her pulmonary well-being depended
on it - the multinational melange of cooks, the Czech dishwashers, the
servers, who are all American natives - creating an atmosphere in which
oxygen is only an occasional pollutant. My first morning at Jerry's, when
the hypoglycemic shakes set in, I complain to one of my fellow servers that
I don't understand how she can go so long without food. "Well, I don't
understand how you can go so long without a cigarette," she responds in a
tone of reproach - because work is what you do for others; smoking is what
you do for yourself. I don't know why the antismoking crusaders have
never grasped the element of defiant self-nurturance that makes the habit
so endearing to its victims - as if, in the American workplace, the only
thing pe.

About me/Introduction
Eportfolio is one of the most successful assignments that I learned in PMU. So, most of
the students in PMU had a good experience with this assignment, because it is very
helpful and effective for the students to share their experience in the six competences.
Also, most of the students can learn from each other by looking to each student’s
experience. These six competences are very helpful for the students, because they will
know the importance of the communication and teamwork to do our work in the life.
Also, they will know the relationship between being a leadership and professional.
This is Ahmed Alramadan, I am a sophomore student at prince Mohammed Bin Fahd in
Saudi Arabia. I am studying a mechanical engineering in the college of engineering. I
chose this major because I want to be one of the most successful engineers in the Saudi
Arabia. Moreover, most of the companies in the Saudi Arabia need a lot of engineers’
specially mechanical engineers. Also, I interest in this major because I have a huge
information about the Mechanical engineering and I interest to work with engines, design
and manufacturing.
Professional Goals
My short term goal is to graduate from prince Mohammed Bin Fahd University in
mechanical engineering after two years.
My long term goal is to keep going in studying and having a master in management, then
I will start to do my project as establishing a company for manufacturing and designing
engines.
Competencies
The six core competences are one of the most important goals that PMU needs from all
the students to know these competences and apply it in their life. You cannot pass the
core if you do not know the competences and the importance of these competences in our
life.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
