PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AS TOOL TO CONTROL AND DEVELOP Introduction Human capital plays a significant role in running a business organization. This explains why reputable business firms are putting extra efforts to hire qualified and skilled human resources (Simmonds, Porter & Bingham, 2008). A useful human resource is significant in maintaining the right image and reputation for a business organization. However, choosing the best team for human resources is not an easy task. For this reason, most of the reputable business firms have separate human resource departments. Human resource management plays various roles in the success of an organization like training of employees, recruitment of employees, rewarding, and performance management (Simmonds, Porter & Bingham, 2008). The paper will focus on performance management and its negative and positive impacts on the performance of employees in a business. Performance Management Performance management has gained popularity as a critical feature for labor management in both private and public organizations (Marther & Seifert, 2011). It is an integrated and strategic approach to assessing the performance of a team or individuals towards achieving the objectives of…
Mobileye Case Study The technology of self-driving cars is almost becoming a reality. These are cars with the ability to sense the surrounding environment and proceed safely with little to almost no human intervention. One of the companies spearheading this technology is Mobileye. It is important to explore the Mobileye’s role and how it is wading through the industry. The substitute for Mobileye’s technology is a stereo camera technology as opposed to a single camera. Mobileye developed a single camera that can scan the road, identify obstacles, traffic lights, and pedestrians, among others (Yoffie 4). The substitute technology from companies such as Bosch and Autoliv involve cars fitted with two or more cameras to help in triangulation to offer greater depth (Yoffie 5). These companies argue that two cameras are more efficient than one. Mobileye mitigated these substitutes by developing a single enhanced camera that provided added benefits. The company recognized that the stereo camera increased the cost (Yoffie 5). A monocular camera offers a significantly low cost that appeals to auto manufacturers as opposed to multi-cameras. Mobileye also…
Case Study Report: Cardiac Outpatient There are arrays of cardiac illnesses some which can be treated and some that cannot be treated. Those that cannot be treated can only be controlled. Cardiac arrhythmia is a cardiac condition that refers to a fast, slow or irregular heartbeat. Depending on symptoms and underlying conditions, cardiac arrhythmia can be treated or controlled. The subject of focus is a slow heartbeat, otherwise known as Bradycardia. Patient Profile A 71-year-old man was brought into the hospital dizzy and sweaty. He also complained of shortness of breath. An ECG test did not record any anomalies despite the patient exhibiting the symptoms at a more frequent rate. As a result, an implantable loop recorder was implanted to record the heart rhythm. The results indicated that the patient had a slowed heartbeat that was less than 43 beats per minute. The rhythm did not pick up and continued to slow down necessitating urgent admission. Since there lacked any underlying cause that can be treated, a pacemaker was deemed the best treatment solution. The patient spent one day at…
Juedixi: An Entertainment of War in Early China Response Paper The article of Dallas McCurley evaluates how the Juedixi, which is perceived to be a spectacular kind of Western Han dynasty was used a method of impressing enemies and friends as well as how it mythologized the Chinese empire powers. Perhaps, Juedixi is a performance genre of the Western Han, which was developed from the martial rites of China’s central state. The genesis of Juedixi was drawn from the competitions and performances which were dedicated to emperor Wu. Juedixi has been linked with the long war of Emperor Wu against the Xiongnu nomads, which is perceived to be the war that coincided with the first core imperial expansion in China. Dallas McCurley divided the content of Juedixi into three significant areas, which formed the background and body of the article. These include the promotion of Wu through Jueli and Juedi, Juedi, and the five baits and Juedixi as the state entertainment. To ascertain the measures of promoting Wu, the authors based their arguments on historical reforms, competitive rituals, Jueli, and…
Perfect competition Ideally, perfect competition is a theoretical market where firms and individuals strive to streamline the allocation of resources to consumers. Neo-classical style market analysts stated that perfect competition would give the perfect outcomes for customers, and the whole society. A competitive market is ideally termed to provide both allocative and productive efficiency. When we talk of allocative efficient, it means that output will always be shown where the marginal cost is equated to average revenue, that is,(Marginal Cost= Average Revenue or MC=AT). This simply indicates that the factors to deal with the price of a product is the same or equals the elements that deal with the marginal revenue of the product. It puts into consideration the inference of the supply curve from where neoclassical methodology relies on. This explains why “a monopoly doesn’t have a supply curve”. (Azevedo, 2017). This theory of perfect competition has been traced and recorded to have been thought of and entered markets in the late 19th century. The first and rigorous definition of perfect competition was given by Leon Walras, who also…
Dealing with Unexpected Change Question 1 It’s been long since there was a break out of a global pandemic. The last break out was Ebola which was appropriately managed. The recent change that I have had to live and deal with it is the break out of COVID-19 disease. The disease has crippled a large part of the world and boiled down to affecting both the employed and the unemployed people. Personally, the break out of this disease has interfered with my school schedule. Right now, I have to take online classes while also spending most of my time in the house, thinking whether my family back at home are safe. Question 2 The virus has changed the way I have been doing things. It’s now a month since I have faced the unexpected change. I cannot be in a position to hang out with my friends or visit social places as frequent as I used to. The virus has made me become paranoid thinking that I could get it anytime. Being alone and every moment in my own house…

Military Angle Head Flashlights: Benefits of Right Angle Lights Working without a proper source of light in the dark can be quite challenging. While flashlights are a popular choice, they can be quite limiting if you need to use both hands. Of course, there are many things you can do to get around this. One of the ways that people use to remedy the situation is by setting the flashlight at a somewhat convenient location and getting down to work. However, if you have to switch positions constantly, you are likely to be highly inconvenienced. Alternatively, some people go for headlamps. Nonetheless, despite their ability to enhance your dexterity, they can be uncomfortable, as you have to put your head in awkward positions constantly to illuminate your point of focus. Besides, headlamps might not fit properly and can be heavy. As a result, most people with a need for a flashlight that allows them to work often wish they could find something that bridges the gap between a headlamp and a regular flashlight. Fortunately, there is the angle head flashlight.…
The Pen State case The first step would be to report any violations by any stakeholders immediately to the NCAA. If more violations are reported in a prompt and timely manner, offenders will be effectively reprimanded (Ferrell & Fraedrich, 2015). As a result, fewer violations would occur since the reporting violations would serve as a deterrent to other future offenders. Self-reporting of violations and cases of non-compliance by coaches and institutions would also mitigate the effects of the offenses. For instance, in the Penn State case, the timely reporting of the unethical conduct of the assistant coach would have meant fewer students would have been sexually assaulted. Therefore, the cover-up by the university and the head coach was a mistake since a proactive response would have been more effective. The Pen State case shows that prompty reporting violations to the NCAA for action is a proactive way of promoting ethics and compliance in the sport. University administrators should use the NCAA guidelines as a minimum benchmark for ethical conduct in their sports programs. These guidelines provide a framework for compliance…
