The power of mediation Mediation involves bringing in a third party who is supposed to be neutral to spearhead the process of ending a dispute between conflicting individuals or groups (Marshall, 2018). Summary According to (Marshall, 2018) conflicts are inevitable to occur. However, the essential thing that individuals and organizations ought to do is to come up with robust methods of handling these conflicts. In an organizational and societal setting, conflicts are bound to happen because of the diversity of views and opinions. Successful organizations are known to have proper frameworks of handling conflicts emerging between their employees or the management to avoid any significant adverse effects on themselves. Mediation is one of the most commonly used methods when it comes to conflict resolution among individuals.The technique is mistaken to be informal and straightforward, but it involves several key steps that must be followed for a conflict to be resolved successfully.

Have more Women Become Involved as Decision Makers in Media Industries? As it is in the case with many other aspects of economic, cultural, and social life in the modern society, the occupation of women in decision-making positions in the media sector remains relatively lower, especially when compared to the labor force sector. According to the EIGE (2013), in the private media firms, women hold about 12 percent of the strategic decision-making posts and only 22 percent in the public media. In this debate, I am more persuaded to disagree with the statement that more women are involved in the decision-making positions in the media sector. Drawing from the existing statistics, there is no doubt that women have been left out in strategic decision-making. I support the push to have more women involved in strategic decision-making in the media industries on two critical grounds. First, it will improve media content, and secondly, it would bring innovative decisions, better utilization of talents, and social justice. Professor Martha Lauzen carries out surveys every year to establish the women’s roles in prime-time…

Industrial rivalry A company can create a competitive advantage by including the porter five forces. The Porter five forces are an essential collection of resources that firms are keen at using based on the potential market gap that they are capable of creating within their industry. The five forces were primarily made to be used in the analysis of an industry before a company can take any action. Application of the resources in a company plays an integral role in the elevation of the companies’ position within their industry. The resources used by companies to be able to elevate their position in their industry comprise of; industrial rivalry, bargaining power, the threat of substitutes, supplier bargaining power as well as forces of new entrants into the industry.

Discussion Forum: Marketing A single firm in a perfectly competitive market is a price taker? True or False. Explain with examples. True. A perfectly competitive market is a hypothetical market system that is portrayed by numerous purchasers and sellers, uniform items, no exchange costs, no restrictions to entry or exit, and everyone has the ideal information about the value of goods (Hayes, 2019). A single firm is a price taker as the cost is dictated by the market, not seller, due to many sellers of the same commodity all having the complete information about the product and only a single buyer. This means no one can dictate the price to others, hence a single firm being a price taker. For example, a tomato farmer has to go with the market price as there are several other tomato farmers in the market. If the farmer sells the produce at a high price, he/she will not sell, and the tomatoes will go bad as they perish quickly, while charging less will bring losses. Therefore, the farmer has to use the cost dictated by…
Proposal for Film Analysis Paper: Joker The movie genre of superheroes and comic book adaptations has become famous, and big film houses in Hollywood like Disney and Warner Bros are making a lot of profit from the film. One of the movies I would like to conduct an analysis write up is the 2019 film The Joker. The reason why I chose the film the Joker for my final film analysis paper is that it does not conform to the standard lines of superhero films that the audiences have had the chance of viewing. Unlike superhero movies like The Avengers or Iron Man, The Joker is a film about a popular Batman villain called the Joker. The film The Joker embodies a somewhat darker tone than other comic book movies and leans towards the reality of modern-day society, and the challenges people with mental health go through. In addition to this, the main character of the film portrays the idea that anarchy is also another way for the masses to spark social change. For my final paper for film analysis,…
