Therefore, Apple should pursue their own innovations, the company should also keep track of recent advancements and new technologies. The most
attractive opportunity for Apple is currently the launch of iTV. Although Apple offers TV services, the overall infrastructure lacks sophistication and
compatibility with the Apple ecosystem. The audience of TV is huge and the launch of new interactive TV device compatible with other Apple

some areas and also make room for new services too. As well as this, it will give viewers a wider variety of channels to watch and reduce costs for
broadcasters that would have had to pay more to transmit services in both formats. The downsides of the switching off analogue will mostly affect
homes in the UK as they will be the people who will have to start paying for different means of watching TV. As well as affecting domestic settings,
they will also be affecting non–domestic settings such as hospital's and TV rental businesses who rely on analogue TV. Having to make the switch
from analogue to digital will be difficult in hospitals as they will not only need new TV sets, but will also have to pay for new Freeview TV set
top boxes for their patients. It also means that TV rental businesses will not be able to provide analogue TV's anymore as they will have no use,
cutting back their income. As well as this, some areas may even need new roof top aerials installed, totalling up to a large sum of money to make the

The BBC wishes to bring younger audiences to BBC services by making bold, innovative programmes. It also wants the young people to engage more
with the BBC's news and current affairs, without having to dumb it down too much or showing less parliamentary programming. New methods of
attracting more of the UK's ethnic minorities, both through the mainstream and targeted through specially made programmes are needed.
Younger audiences appear to be a trouble area for the BBC, as they are supposedly failing to attract enough of them to programmes. Young people are
greatly interested in new and existing technology. Programmes like Tomorrow's World could be created especially for young people, providing news
and information on different inventions and modifications to existing technology. Currently there are not enough dedicated programmes to it.

yearly basis who would, in turn, appoint a director general. The extent to which these committees were composed of 'political appointees' who
could steer the BBC in directions favourable to the government has been a subject of controversy . So has the BBC's real 'independence' in light of
the government's power to set licence fees and therefore apply financial pressure in the event of unfavourable or controversial political coverage.
Under its first director John Reith the BBC was given a mission to bring the 'Best' of British culture to the nation, to enlighten, elevate and 'educate'
wherever possible. The BBC is formally obliged to remain politically impartial especially in times of political conflict. The governors role is to

Assess the factors which led to the creation of ITV in 1954
Commercial Television has been playing big role in our lives for about 60 years already, whether it is the Morning News, Downton Abbey or The
Britain's Got Talent show (Johnson, Turnock, 2005: 1). Commercial television is entertaining, educating and informative and tries to fulfil viewer's
wishes of what they want to watch. British audience has been able to choose what they watch since 1954, when government published the Act of
Television which allowed the creation of the first independent television in the United Kingdom. The creation of ITV broke the BBC's monopoly and
introduced country a new era with free market and diverse television channels (Williams, 2010:151). ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Also, many senior positions in the BBC were still suspicious of the new medium of television (Turnock, 2007:21). Lord Reith summed up the
general attitude of BBC's management to television when he told that 'television will be of no importance in your lifetime or mine' (Williams,
2010:144). General opinion in the BBC was that television would not become as successful as radio. As well as BBC management, government did
not find television being as important as radio. On the contrary to the BBC's management, there were people who saw future in commercial television.
One of those people was Norman Collins who became a director general of Independent Television who left the BBC and started to campaign
commercial television (Crisell, 1997: 78). BBC's broadcasting developing slowly because of the shortage of technical knowledge which gave a reason
for government to legitimize commercial television which would also give jobs many advertisers and television people. Commercial television
campaign was also able to persuade the government that competition would make television better as companies had to give their best to make the
viewer to watch their channel.
Another reason which made commercial lobby successful, was the circumstance that important members of government including the Prime Minister,
Churchill, were not prepared to defend the BBC (Curran, Seaton, 2010:154). After a change in power in late 1951, the conservative party decided to

British soap operas are, of course, overly dramatic. In nearly every soap opera, including the Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, and The
Archers–the characters constantly discuss money and drink excessively. Of course, these shows are not made to be taken literally–they are mindless
entertainment, not serious social commentary. However, behind the drama, they raise subtle questions about the nature of Britain today: the clashes
between cultures and religions, upper and lower classes, and the young rebelling against the old. All of these things could be happening at the very
same time, and underlining all of these issues is the idea that no one should be trusted. British people are often the victims of stereotype, but to watch...

about their futures, guzzle beers in a room littered with empty beer cans. Two other characters pour whiskey into a teapot and have straight alcohol
teatime, complete with milk. In Emmerdale, a depressed father meets the vicar in the pub for a drink. Of course, alcohol consumption in these shows is
never the cause of problem–but it is interesting to note that in most of the dramatic scenes, alcohol is consumed, possibly fueling these confrontations.

company members which does not offer or trade its company stock (shares) to the general public on the stock market exchanges, but rather the

Private companies are very similar to independent companies; the only real difference is that private companies can choose their shareholders. Private
companies don't need to meet the strict exchange commission requirements that public companies have to, like having to give a certain percentage of
their income to the government.
Independent companies are companies which work on their own; they can make decision on their own and are free of influence by government or
corporate interests. Independent companies are different to subsidiaries as Independent companies are not owned by any conglomerate. An advantage
of an independent company is that all the money the company makes is its own profit instead of being shared with other companies. A disadvantage of

"The Three Gorges Dam will be the largest hydropower station and dam in the world, with a 1.2 mile stretch of concrete and a 370 mile–long reservoir
and 525 feet deep."[4] To put that into understandable dimensions it will be the length of the Golden Gate Bridge, and twice as tall. "The reservoir
created by the backflow of the dam will extend 360 miles up river to Chongqing, a distance equal to nearly half the length of California."[5] So what
is the point of this monstrosity? The major prospective benefits will be power generation, flood control, and increased navigability of the Yangtze
River. Many people debate whether these attributes will actually be as beneficial as builders expect. Thedrawbacks of the dam are its flood plain and
the effects of the flood plain, environmental damage, resettlement, historical and cultural loss, and the ideas of speculators about whether or not some

as the buying business is the main one to benefit." There are some advantages you can gain from this. Firstly, likewise to merging, there can be
international growth. "Businesses can make their services or products available globally by acquiring businesses in various locations
internationally. For instance, Belgium brewing company, InBev took over Budweiser for $52 billion in 2008 in order to expand its presence in the

The UK PSB: Broadcasting Influenced by the State
The UK PSB has been in operation since the 1920s, making it one of the longest established in all of Europe (Ofcom, 2006). There is no official
definition for PSB, but authors of Power Without Responsibility: Press, Broadcasting and the Internet in Britain, James Curran and Jean Seaton, say
that it "serves the need of democracy" by impartially reporting the news, promoting social inclusion, giving prominence to public affairs, and
"generating content that has cultural value", which means being the main source of cultural resources for society, rather than merely being for profit
(Curran, Seaton, 2010). A general description of the PSB would be "any broadcasting that is influenced by the state" (Henderson, 2009). This includes
the BBC, as well as news and current affairs programming that are required by law to "provide balance" (Henderson, 2009). PSB approaches
broadcasting with the idea that the viewer is not just a consumer, but also a citizen. Programming should be used to promote social and cultural
inclusion, and not just be for entertainment purposes. BBC is not the only network that fits under PSB, but includes ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5,
which all operate within PSB regulation (Henderson, 2009). According to Curran and Seaton without the PSB framework these stations would be

This was a good insight into what happened to the young children as the reporter points to the house to set the scene then recreates the journey the

The Mobility Warrant Officer Advance Course
Summary: According to a survey conducted within the Mobility Warrant Officer Advance Course (MWOAC) class 01
–16, over 80% of the personnel
believes that Movement Control is broken. (Survey, 2016) There could be many reasons for this belief not only within the MWOAC, but also across
the Army. In order to explore this concern, we must know the definition of movement control. "Movement Control is the dual process of committing
allocated transportation assets and regulating movement according to command priorities to synchronize the distribution flow over lines of
communications to sustain land forces". (Army, ADRP 4–0 Sustainment, 2012) Although the definition for Movement Control seems straight forward
and easy to understand, it is much more than just committing allocated transportation assets and regulating movement. When a customer or user thinks
of Movement Control they do not only think of allocation of assets and movement regulation, they also think on the movement of cargo and personnel
and the tracking of those personnel and cargo between origin and destination. These functions are not easy, and they are best performed by Movement
Control Teams (MCT's). Personnel assigned to the Movement Control Teams should be proficient and have the knowledge and tools necessary to
perform these duties. Personnel in support of contingency operations will seek the assistance of the MCT's for these functions, and most times the
MCT's are available to assist. Once those

Ebay And Pricing Goods When The Buyer 's Value Of The Item
Auctions are fundamentally about allocating and pricing goods when the buyer's value of the item is unknown in order to maximise the value of the
good.
There are different types of auction design used and according to revenue equivalence theory, no matter what auction design is used; expected revenue
will be the same if bidders are risk neutral; each auction design is equally profitable.
Sealed bid auctions requires bidders to submit their bid in a sealed envelope without the knowledge of other participants bids. Whereas ascending

Eventually, neither Roche nor Zeneca actually entered the bidding, and Wellcome was sold at the original bid of 9 billion pounds, literally a billion or
two less than its shareholders might have received.
In an ascending auction, there is a strong presumption that the firm, which values winning the most, will be the eventual winner, because even if it is
outbid at an early stage, it can eventually top any opposition. As a result, other firms have little incentive to enter the bidding, and
In ascending and sealed bid auctions, there is the risk of the "winners curse" which may weaken biddings in auctions. Winners curse occurs when the
winner of the good bids significantly higher than the true value of the good, which in turn causes them to be worse off. It's understood that the smaller
/weaker firms to the industry have to be epically cautious, as they are only likely to win when they have overestimated the value by even more than
usual. The advantage bidder can be less cautious, since beating very cautious opponents does not imply they have overestimated the value. Hence, the
advantaged bidder most likely wins generally paying a low price(Klemperer,1998).

There are many challenges of diversity in the United Kingdom which have provided the company some with creative opportunities to offer its
audiences distinctive and original programming that would engage them. As far as its competitor's strategies and practices of managing diversity are
concerned, it can be seen that ITV network has also incorporated some equal opportunity policies which reflect the Equality Act 2010 and desire
equality for everyone with the characteristics of disability, gender, parental or marital status, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religious beliefs and
origin. It means the policies of equal opportunities are available to every employee of the organisation regardless of their ethnicity and disability. The
company also uses its intranet site for increasing the awareness regarding equality legislation and also runs diversity campaigns which are aligned to
its business priorities and CR strategy (Cox 1991, 34).

Some scholars working in the
Foucauldian tradition of organisational analysis have argued that market–oriented policies and managerial discourses may act to "capture" and fix the
ways in which the world is seen by public sector professionals (for a full review see Trowler, 2001;
Doolin, 2002). But there is now a very substantial body of work which shows the ways in which these discourses have been contested and "displaced"
by public sector professionals (Kirkpatrick and Lucio, 1995; Kitchener, 2000; Trowler, 2001; Doolin,
2002; Farrell and Morris, 2003; Kirkpatrick et al., 2005). A recurrent theme in these critiques is that the new forms reflect not the "end" of bureaucracy
but a complex, and often highly unstable, bifurcation of the bureaucratic form which devolves operational responsibility whilst attempting to extend the
controls exercised by senior management (Farrel and Morris, 2003, p. 134). A growing number of scholars have argued that the "epochalism"
promulgated by the anti–bureaucratic turn has produced a highly restricted, caricatured and an historical view which detaches analysis from the

In order to ensure stability, Rosas implemented many changes in the government, including giving more power to the governor, which in turn, saved
Rosas job for the future, allowing him to become a tyrant like leader.[14]
Both of these Caudillos illustrate human's crave for power, and the manipulation, deception, and devilish processes that can be used to maintain this
power. We can see both of these men as great leaders, as they thoroughly accomplished what they decided was best. We can also see them as great
lessons, teaching us of the dangers of leadership and the risks it often involves.
Conclusion
The view of past and present Caudillos will consistently change with the person the view is from. However, one thing is clear. Juan Manuel de Rosas
and Porfirio Diaz were two Caudillos of political excellence, maintaining a long and influential regime. This was accomplished by both, through their
personal triumphs over the previous government of their nation as well as a triumph over threatening authorities around and within the nation, such as
Diaz regularly jailing those who spoke out against him or his policies. Rosas and Diaz both knew what they wanted and had valid processes in
accomplishing this; though the moral values of their actions are up to discussion. This situation is common throughout history, including skilled
leaders such as Hitler, Stalin, and Castro. Juan Manuel de Rosas and Porfirio Diaz display

Conclusion Through the British intervention, Blair was very instrumental to ending the Sierra Leone civil war. While the RUF was pre–occupied with
Britain's role of evacuating UN peacekeepers and foreign nationals, Blair had perceived the idea to prove his ethical point developed by his Labour
Party. After the deployment of 1,000 British troops in May 2000, Blair soon justified a more aggressive form of humanitarian intervention, one that
would use force and provide logistical support to UNAMSIL forces thus finding a reason to remain and train local government forces. He later stated
that "[Sierra Leone] is now on its feet, able to hold and have proper democratic elections. And when you see something as gruesome and graphic as
[the amputated civilians] you realize how important it is in these circumstance that somebody somewhere was prepared to go and stand–by them (ITV,
2012). Blair's decision to send British troops to intervene and to provide training support to the country, was a direct consequence of the underlying

By the early 1960s, for example, ITV started to replace some of their US imports with their own in–house produc– tions in primetime.26 The desire to
substitute some imported programmes with domestic productions comes from the audience, who tend to prefer domestic productions on a like–to–like
basis, and often through pressure from in–house producers and/or legislators. Therefore, even the small channels have, over time, sought to include
some domestic productions in their schedules, either commis– sioning them or buying in local products. SkyOne, which relies on a fair number of high
profile American programmes, has developed its own productions such as Dream Team (Hewland International, 1997–) and Ross Kemp on Gangs

Late 1950s: Redefining Public Service
Late 1950s: redefining public service
In response to the rise of television and the competition from commercial broadcasting, BBC urged to an intellectual shift in the understanding of its
role and the purpose of public service. It had to reinvent itself in order to maintain an independent service, and protect it from the political and
commercial pressure. Sir Ian Jacob, the Director–General from 1952 to 1960 almost outlined every notable step of the BBC's reinvention in the next
two decades. Firstly, Jacob (1954, cited in Tracey, 1998: 9) claimed that public service broadcasting should be 'best available in every field', and allow
the public to make the choice rather than making choice for them. The BBC was expected to consistently fulfill ... Show more content on

From 1960 onward, the successor of Jacob, Sir Hugh Greene undertook the reinvention and successfully justified the BBC in the inquiry from
Pilkington Committee about the virtues and future of the corporation. Until the Pilkington Report was published in 1962, the BBC's audience share
had increased to 50:50 since the competition with commercial television began (Crisell, 2002: 112). The Pilkington Report (1962: 65, cited in
Scannell, 2000: 53) praised the BBC for its 'responsible attitude' to the television service, while the Pilkington Committee was highly critical of the
ITV and asserted that the commercial television failed to take responsibility as a public service. As a result, the ITV was further regulated and its
competition with the BBC was more likely to be in the quality of programming. The product of BBC's reinvention and the Pilkington Report was the
beginning of a Golden age of television, when the old monopoly had been replaced by a 'cosy duopoly' between the BBC and the ITV. Both the BBC
and the ITV found that competition between them indeed defended the security for each other (Curran and Seaton, 2010: 157). They were benefited
from competition by providing similar programming with 'a roughly equal share of the audience' (Scannell, 2000: 53). For example, documentaries and

Essay on Willy Russell's Educating Rita
Willy Russells "Educating Rita"
Educating Rita is a play about a working class girl who is tired of her lifestyle and asks a university tutor to educate her in an attempt to change her
ways her life. Her tutor, Frank, shows her the cultures and values of the middle class world as well as teaching her about literature even though he
too is tired of his lifestyle. Rita forces herself to change and realises the damage she causes to herself, acting as someone she isn't. Willy Russel writes
about the clash of cultures from each of the English classes.
In the beginning of the play when Rita and Frank first meet, they hardly understand each other:
'Frank stares at Rita who stands by the desk
Frank: You are?
Rita: What am ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
These passages further show the misunderstanding between the two characters. It also displays how the media exploit the working class and 'mould'
those within it to think and do whatever the media may want them to. In
Scene 4 Rita says 'y' know the Daily Mirror an' the Sun an' ITV an' the Unions, what are they tellin' people to do? They just tell people to go out an'
get more money, don't they? But they don't want more money. The Unions tell them to go out an' get more money and ITV an' the papers tell them
what to spend it on so the disease is always covered up'. This long speech from Rita tells us how the media takes control of her social class, what to do,
what dresses to buy and Rita realises that what her social class is being forced into believe is not really what those within it really want and why
she feels empty when she buys a new dress, and the reason why there is vandalism and violence, is because people are finding so little meaning to
their lives. Willy Russell shows how each class rejects the other when Denny burns all of Rita's books, because she is not behaving in the way
expected of her, doing the things expected of her social class and
Rita complains that she wants a choice, and believes that this education would give her that choice, 'I told him I'd only have a baby when I had a
choice. But he doesn't understand. He thinks we have choice because we can go to a pub that sells eight different types of

Bbc Technology Challenges
Technological Challenges
Technology is one of the few areas where the BBC has been ahead of the curve over the past decade. BBC iPlayer was launched in 2007, and it was
one of the first available streaming services, the BBC's rivals subsequently launched 4oD, ITV player and demand 5.
iPlayer has been a massive success, and it will soon account for 10% of all UK web traffic, however the success of iPlayer has led to the BBC's rivals
extending to not only ITV and Sky, but also to Netflix and Amazon, who also produce their own content.
iPlayer remains however problematic for the BBC, as viewers currently don't need a licence to watch television on catch–up through the service. In an
era in which people increasingly watch less content on tv, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The BBC needs to produce content which will not only be watched and rewatched in Britain, but which can also be sold abroad. This will also help the
BBC to supplement its income.
It is also becoming highly apparent that the public no longer trust the BBC to the extent that they used to, regaining that trust is vital if the BBC wishes
to remain one of the stalwarts of british journalism.
The BBC's approach to technology is one of the few areas in which they are not only on the right track, but in which they actually seem to be ahead of
the curve, the internet is increasingly becoming the most popular way to watch content, and by putting all of its content online, the BBC is ensuring that
they are able to compete with streaming giants such as Netflix and Amazon.
Finally the BBC has also been faced with accusations of a liberal bias both from within, and outside of the corporation, this means that the BBC is
already on the wrong foot when negotiating the renewal of its charter, and that negotiations with the government may be far more difficult, but not

Business Assignment : Advertising Industry
Media Institutions Assignment Essay Advertising Industry This essay aims to demonstrate the ways in which the advertising industry has helped to
shape production. In this essay I will be using "Product placement is the inclusion of a branded product in media, usually without explicit reference
to the product. Most commonly, branded products are featured in movies, television shows and video games." (Whatis.com, 2013). Product
placement is not an uncommon thing nowadays since Ofcom made it legal in February 2011 for UK channels to include product placement as long
as it sticks to Ofcom rules and guidelines. Product placement is used more now than we may realise, "ITV said it had shown about 4,000 hours of
programming with product placement in it." (Revoir, P, 2015). ITV have used product placement in many well known, popular shows such as 'I'm A
Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here'. Channel 4 also said that they would be airing around 100 hours of tv content that would contain product placement
this year alone! An example of how product placement will have affected the production of content is Coronation street when they had the product
placement of Nationwide bank for 3 years starting in 2011. Product placement can have a larger powerful impact than we think, "Product placement
can be very successful, as shown by the 65% increase in Reese's Pieces sales after its placement in E.T. The Extra–Terrestrial" (Zimmerman, I, 2013).
This tells us that the impact is larger than

Bbc's Lack Of Revenue
amount of revenue from its advertising it needed to have a higher percentage of the public watching its channel. While this required a lot of
commencing investment to create the programmes in the long term it would cater more than enough advertising revenue to cover this cost. This also,
although maybe cautiously, influenced the BBC. While at first glance it may suggest that the BBC and ITV have different revenue streams and are
therefore not direct competitors, the BBC had to keep up with the increasing quality of the ITV programmes. This was not because, unlike ITV, they
need to increase revenue but because if they were not seen to have programmes of a related or greater quality than ITV then soon enough the general
public would start to... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This would lead to rivalry not only between the different contractors. However, there was a frustration on the government's behalf, due to not
designating enough frequencies, this was unable to happen. Instead to still keep competition high the ITA decided to part the franchises on a
weekday/weekend basis. People were fed up of the American commercial nature of ITV and how all of its shows endeavored for ratings rather
than quality and so there was a committee set up to question the state of broadcasting in the 1960's. It was called the Pilkingtons report and its
operation was to clean up the profanity of ITV. The report celebrated the BBC and allowed the introduction of a second channel, BBC 2. In a way
the Pilkington report was like going back in a way in broadcasting history, it took on the paternalistic role, that the public so detested about the BBC.
Eventually people accepted ITV and the BBC working together and the competition grew much less intense. People had decided what shows they did
and did not like and would pick and choose between the two, this also known as the 'golden age' of television which endured nearly twenty years.
Between 1960 and 1962. The Pilkington committee met to contemplate the future of broadcasting in Britain. This was at a time of increasing hostility
towards the somewhat newly formed commercial broadcaster, ITV. At the time the committee published their report it was not surprising that ITV
came under distinct criticism. The committee found ITV broadcasted programmes of a trivial nature. This was most probably not a reference to the
actual subjects discussed but to the actual style and presentation of these subjects. This report led to the introduction of a second BBC channel, BBC 2
in 1964. In 1980 the Broadcasting Act was passed which applaud the

  • 1. The External Environment That Influences Apple There are various threats in the external environment that influences Apple. Rapid technological development and change is a problem, the company might be set aside by a competitor who invents a newer technology. Tax increases have also influenced Apple. Apple's profits went down due to new taxes. Patent breaches pose a huge threat, competitors might imitate their technology and make profit on these features. Appreciation of the dollar, Apple's profits in foreign countries are reduced due to strengthening the dollar. The growing popularity of Android, widespread use of this operating system makes Apple's infrastructure less attractive for customers. Increasing labor costs in Asia, the protests of workers in Asia, especially Foxconn... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Therefore, Apple should pursue their own innovations, the company should also keep track of recent advancements and new technologies. The most attractive opportunity for Apple is currently the launch of iTV. Although Apple offers TV services, the overall infrastructure lacks sophistication and compatibility with the Apple ecosystem. The audience of TV is huge and the launch of new interactive TV device compatible with other Apple devices will increase the company's popularity and profits. Apple has prospered internally and it is necessary to consider both strengths and weaknesses. Apple has lots of strengths, the major of them being it's impressive brand reputation, Apple managed to position the brand as "premium products" for "elite" people.

Unit 25 Structure of the TV and Video Industry Unit 25: Television and Video Production Structure of the TV Industry This essay will focus on the structure of the channels the BBC and ITV, which will give the reader an understanding of the structure of the television and video industry in the UK. This essay will be split up into three parts; the details of ownership and income, systems and technologies, and their regulations as well as discussing the success of both companies. Details of Ownership and Income In the television sector, there are one of two types of broadcasters; commercial and public service broadcasters. A public service broadcaster is a non–profit public television network. An example of this sort of TV channel would be the BBC which is run by John Reith...

It will then offer more space as analogue takes up about a third of the spectrum which can also be used to increase signal reach in some areas and also make room for new services too. As well as this, it will give viewers a wider variety of channels to watch and reduce costs for broadcasters that would have had to pay more to transmit services in both formats. The downsides of the switching off analogue will mostly affect homes in the UK as they will be the people who will have to start paying for different means of watching TV.

General opinion in the BBC was that television would not become as successful as radio. As well as BBC management, government did not find television being as important as radio.

Two young men, pessimistic about their futures, guzzle beers in a room littered with empty beer cans. Two other characters pour whiskey into a teapot and have straight alcohol teatime, complete with milk. In Emmerdale, a depressed father meets the vicar in the pub for a drink. Of course, alcohol consumption in these shows is never the cause of problem–but it is interesting to note that in most of the dramatic scenes, alcohol is consumed, possibly fueling these confrontations. According to these shows, the only jobs available in Great Britain for those in the lower class are bar tending, hotel work, hairdressing, or waitressing.

There is no official definition for PSB, but authors of Power Without Responsibility: Press, Broadcasting and the Internet in Britain, James Curran and Jean Seaton, say that it "serves the need of democracy" by impartially reporting the news, promoting social inclusion, giving prominence to public affairs, and "generating content that has cultural value", which means being the main source of cultural resources for society, rather than merely being for profit (Curran, Seaton, 2010). A general description of the PSB would be "any broadcasting that is influenced by the state" (Henderson, 2009). This includes the BBC, as well as news and current affairs programming that are required by law to "provide balance" (Henderson, 2009). PSB approaches broadcasting with the idea that the viewer is not just a consumer, but also a citizen. Programming should be used to promote social and cultural inclusion, and not just be for entertainment purposes. BBC is not the only network that fits under PSB, but includes ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, which all operate within PSB regulation (Henderson, 2009).

(Survey, 2016) There could be many reasons for this belief not only within the MWOAC, but also across the Army. In order to explore this concern, we must know the definition of movement control.

(Army, ADRP 4–0 Sustainment, 2012) Although the definition for Movement Control seems straight forward and easy to understand, it is much more than just committing allocated transportation assets and regulating movement. When a customer or user thinks of Movement Control they do not only think of allocation of assets and movement regulation, they also think on the movement of cargo and personnel and the tracking of those personnel and cargo between origin and destination.

Eventually, neither Roche nor Zeneca actually entered the bidding, and Wellcome was sold at the original bid of 9 billion pounds, literally a billion or two less than its shareholders might have received. In an ascending auction, there is a strong presumption that the firm, which values winning the most, will be the eventual winner, because even if it is outbid at an early stage, it can eventually top any opposition. As a result, other firms have little incentive to enter the bidding, and In ascending and sealed bid auctions, there is the risk of the "winners curse" which may weaken biddings in auctions. Winners curse occurs when the winner of the good bids significantly higher than the true value of the good, which in turn causes them to be worse off. It's understood that the smaller /weaker firms to the industry have to be epically cautious, as they are only likely to win when they have overestimated the value by even more than usual. The advantage bidder can be less cautious, since beating very cautious opponents does not imply they have overestimated the value. Hence, the advantaged bidder most likely wins generally paying a low price(Klemperer,1998). This is evident in the case of the auction for Premier Leauge TV between Sky, BT and ITV. BT won the bid of В Ј900 million, three–year deal giving exclusive rights to all European club football away from Sky and ITV, paying well over the odds. Whereas Sky was thought ...

There are many challenges of diversity in the United Kingdom which have provided the company some with creative opportunities to offer its audiences distinctive and original programming that would engage them. As far as its competitor's strategies and practices of managing diversity are concerned, it can be seen that ITV network has also incorporated some equal opportunity policies which reflect the Equality Act 2010 and desire equality for everyone with the characteristics of disability, gender, parental or marital status, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religious beliefs and origin. It means the policies of equal opportunities are available to every employee of the organisation regardless of their ethnicity and disability. The company also uses its intranet site for increasing the awareness regarding equality legislation and also runs diversity campaigns which are aligned to its business priorities and CR strategy (Cox 1991, 34).

Findings – The paper shows the ways in which public sector professionals ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Some scholars working in the Foucauldian tradition of organisational analysis have argued that market–oriented policies and managerial discourses may act to "capture" and fix the ways in which the world is seen by public sector professionals (for a full review see Trowler, 2001; Doolin, 2002). But there is now a very substantial body of work which shows the ways in which these discourses have been contested and "displaced" by public sector professionals (Kirkpatrick and Lucio, 1995; Kitchener, 2000; Trowler, 2001; Doolin, 2002; Farrell and Morris, 2003; Kirkpatrick et al., 2005). A recurrent theme in these critiques is that the new forms reflect not the "end" of bureaucracy but a complex, and often highly unstable, bifurcation of the bureaucratic form which devolves operational responsibility whilst attempting to extend the controls exercised by senior management (Farrel and Morris, 2003, p. 134). A growing number of scholars have argued that the "epochalism" promulgated by the anti–bureaucratic turn has produced a highly restricted, caricatured and an historical view which detaches analysis from the relevant organisational contexts, interests and social choices (Reed and

Essentially, the case of Sierra Leone became the first test for Labour's ethical dimension policy. Conclusion Through the British intervention, Blair was very instrumental to ending the Sierra Leone civil war. While the RUF was pre–occupied with Britain's role of evacuating UN peacekeepers and foreign nationals, Blair had perceived the idea to prove his ethical point developed by his Labour Party. After the deployment of 1,000 British troops in May 2000, Blair soon justified a more aggressive form of humanitarian intervention, one that would use force and provide logistical support to UNAMSIL forces thus finding a reason to remain and train local government forces. He later stated that "[Sierra Leone] is now on its feet, able to hold and have proper democratic elections. And when you see something as gruesome and graphic as [the amputated civilians] you realize how important it is in these circumstance that somebody somewhere was prepared to go and stand–by them (ITV, 2012).

By the early 1960s, for example, ITV started to replace some of their US imports with their own in–house produc– tions in primetime.26 The desire to substitute some imported programmes with domestic productions comes from the audience, who tend to prefer domestic productions on a like–to–like basis, and often through pressure from in–house producers and/or legislators. Therefore, even the small channels have, over time, sought to include some domestic productions in their schedules, either commis– sioning them or buying in local products. SkyOne, which relies on a fair number of high profile American programmes, has developed its own productions such as Dream Team (Hewland International, 1997–) and Ross Kemp on Gangs (Tiger Aspect Productions, 2006).

Late 1950s: Redefining Public Service Late 1950s: redefining public service In response to the rise of television and the competition from commercial broadcasting, BBC urged to an intellectual shift in the understanding of its role and the purpose of public service. It had to reinvent itself in order to maintain an independent service, and protect it from the political and commercial pressure. Sir Ian Jacob, the Director–General from 1952 to 1960 almost outlined every notable step of the BBC's reinvention in the next two decades.

The BBC was expected to consistently fulfill ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... From 1960 onward, the successor of Jacob, Sir Hugh Greene undertook the reinvention and successfully justified the BBC in the inquiry from Pilkington Committee about the virtues and future of the corporation. Until the Pilkington Report was published in 1962, the BBC's audience share had increased to 50:50 since the competition with commercial television began (Crisell, 2002: 112). The Pilkington Report (1962: 65, cited in Scannell, 2000: 53) praised the BBC for its 'responsible attitude' to the television service, while the Pilkington Committee was highly critical of the ITV and asserted that the commercial television failed to take responsibility as a public service. As a result, the ITV was further regulated and its competition with the BBC was more likely to be in the quality of programming. The product of BBC's reinvention and the Pilkington Report was the beginning of a Golden age of television, when the old monopoly had been replaced by a 'cosy duopoly' between the BBC and the ITV. Both the BBC and the ITV found that competition between them indeed defended the security for each other (Curran and Seaton, 2010: 157).

Finally the BBC has also been faced with accusations of a liberal bias both from within, and outside of the corporation, this means that the BBC is already on the wrong foot when negotiating the renewal of its charter, and that negotiations with the government may be far more difficult, but not ...

  • 47. Business Assignment : Advertising Industry Media Institutions Assignment Essay Advertising Industry This essay aims to demonstrate the ways in which the advertising industry has helped to shape production. In this essay I will be using "Product placement is the inclusion of a branded product in media, usually without explicit reference to the product. Most commonly, branded products are featured in movies, television shows and video games." (Whatis.com, 2013). Product placement is not an uncommon thing nowadays since Ofcom made it legal in February 2011 for UK channels to include product placement as long as it sticks to Ofcom rules and guidelines. Product placement is used more now than we may realise, "ITV said it had shown about 4,000 hours of programming with product placement in it." (Revoir, P, 2015). ITV have used product placement in many well known, popular shows such as 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here'. Channel 4 also said that they would be airing around 100 hours of tv content that would contain product placement this year alone! An example of how product placement will have affected the production of content is Coronation street when they had the product placement of Nationwide bank for 3 years starting in 2011. Product placement can have a larger powerful impact than we think, "Product placement can be very successful, as shown by the 65% increase in Reese's Pieces sales after its placement in E.T. The Extra–Terrestrial" (Zimmerman, I, 2013). This tells us that the impact is larger than ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 48. Bbc's Lack Of Revenue amount of revenue from its advertising it needed to have a higher percentage of the public watching its channel. While this required a lot of commencing investment to create the programmes in the long term it would cater more than enough advertising revenue to cover this cost. This also, although maybe cautiously, influenced the BBC. While at first glance it may suggest that the BBC and ITV have different revenue streams and are therefore not direct competitors, the BBC had to keep up with the increasing quality of the ITV programmes. This was not because, unlike ITV, they need to increase revenue but because if they were not seen to have programmes of a related or greater quality than ITV then soon enough the general public would start to...

However, there was a frustration on the government's behalf, due to not designating enough frequencies, this was unable to happen. Instead to still keep competition high the ITA decided to part the franchises on a weekday/weekend basis. People were fed up of the American commercial nature of ITV and how all of its shows endeavored for ratings rather than quality and so there was a committee set up to question the state of broadcasting in the 1960's. It was called the Pilkingtons report and its operation was to clean up the profanity of ITV. The report celebrated the BBC and allowed the introduction of a second channel, BBC 2. In a way the Pilkington report was like going back in a way in broadcasting history, it took on the paternalistic role, that the public so detested about the BBC. Eventually people accepted ITV and the BBC working together and the competition grew much less intense. People had decided what shows they did and did not like and would pick and choose between the two, this also known as the 'golden age' of television which endured nearly twenty years. Between 1960 and 1962. The Pilkington committee met to contemplate the future of broadcasting in Britain. This was at a time of increasing hostility towards the somewhat newly formed commercial broadcaster, ITV. At the time the committee published their report it was not surprising that ITV came under distinct criticism. The committee found ITV broadcasted programmes of a trivial nature. This was most probably not a reference to the actual subjects discussed but to the actual style and presentation of these subjects. This report led to the introduction of a second BBC channel, BBC 2 in 1964. In 1980 the Broadcasting Act was passed which applaud the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
