Dunkin’ Donut franchisee In any restaurant chain, the development of job design and organizational design is essential in elevating the job satisfaction of staff, aids the franchise in motivating its workers, and ensures overall productivity. As the new district manager of Dunkin’ Donut franchisee, it is essential to employ an adequate job and organization design in the five locations of operation. For instance, the job design chosen for the franchise will aid in ensuring that the autonomy of workers is enhanced through employment. Hence, the implementation of a job design will give the staff more responsibility through the provision of continuous training to improve their skills and knowledge in the franchise. In so doing, workers have an improved sense of personal achievement. As a district manager, the job design involves having a deeper understanding of the workforce culture within the franchise. In light of this, workers tend to fall into a routine of performing similar tasks every day, and this may get dull over time. Hence, change in routine is a vital aspect in the job design as it propels…
Egyptian economy There is a strict environmental policy in Egypt. It is governed by the law number 4, which was passed in 1994. It is illegal to handle any hazardous material or the establishment of any plant that either manufactures or treats such substances. The measure makes many investors, such as those who would have made industries such as those involved in the manufacture of chemicals such as sulphuric acid. It also requires that some of the people who import such products have licenses. The policy also falls under the weapons policy. The main argument s that the chemicals may be used in the interference of security. Some of the attacks have been made by groups that dealt with such chemicals. In some cases, when they are not involved, they are hijacked by militia and the products used in attacks. The industrial sector is also not allowed to leak any wastes to the environment. If they do so, they are subject to the revocation of licenses. Foreign investors are also bound to be banished from the company. In addition to…
Rational Actor Model Rational Actor Model is the best one to explain the Cuban missile events. This theory pertains to; government being considered as the primary or key actor and the examination of set goals by a government, evaluation of the objectives according to their utility, hence picking the one with the most payoff. In this Cuban crisis, the model applies to several events. Kennedy disclosed in 1961 that the Soviet Union had few intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) than people thought. As feedback to this revelation, Nikita Khrushchev commanded the installation of short-range nuclear weapons in Cuba. Soviets also closed the missile gap hence earning points in the cold war. After Kennedy showed no support on the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Soviets believed that the United States would respond in a friendly way. Another event that makes this model fit for this crisis is when Kennedy and the Executive Committee of the National Security Council (EXCOMM) assessed several strategies or options such as a complete invasion of Cuba and doing nothing. They finally picked the Cuba blockade option because…
A service Day in Saudi Poor Community If I probably do a sampling In La Roche University of what they think of Saudi Arabia in terms of poverty, most will state things related to the vast oil field and oil is equated to wealth. If I get such answers, I will not be surprised at all because, as a citizen of Saudi Arabia, I thought most people could afford at least essential commodities. I was surprised back in May last year when I joined Insan Organization, and we visited a community in Riyadh with the majority of people struggling to get basic needs. The Insan organization gives aid to the least privileged individuals, especially those who escape catastrophes like wars. I had an argument with my friend that it is impossible to find Saudi Arabian people struggling. To clear off the discussion with my friend Aziz, he told me that all I need is to get some finance and be prepared to give service to the people I will meet. On the day we went to the outskirts of Riyadh,…
A successful leader My personnel experience as a successful leader takes me back in the year 2014, while I was working for an electronic company in Baltimore. The company operated both retail and wholesale. I was the company’s distribution coordinator. The distribution department was responsible for most of the logistics from pulling orders and delivering merchandise for shelf stocking. At the time, I assumed the position the company’s daily deliveries were limited to four trucks due to the inefficiency of the team at the time. I embarked on training my side and then placing them in the right position depending on their acquired skill sets. The efficiency of the team improved tremendously, and the total daily deliver trucks moved up to nine trucks. To achieve this growth, I applied the charismatic style of leadership. As a charismatic leader, I used persuasion, eloquent communication and force of personality to change the inner working of the department. Also, it helped me delegate duties based on the skill set of each team member. Besides, I worked with my team side by side, inserting…
The existence of racial issues The existence of racial issues has contributed to toxic effects amongst the affected group. Through these issues, the affected groups have been considered to be characterized by high risks of attacking diseases. Racial issues result in discrimination, which has been deemed to be linked to the outcome of health. This shows that discrimination base on race directly harms the health of a person. The racial issues are hazardous in the nation since it constitutes stressors. For instance, when it is analyzed under chronic stressor, the racial problems highly trigger the inflammatory action of responses specifically to African Americans within the cellular level. For a person to successfully survive, he or she may have the ability to respond to injuries, stresses, and infection. Racial issues are like a threat to the affected group. It triggers the response of the immune system hence fending off the pathogens, and th repair damaged tissues. The selected group f gene is the key to such a defense mechanism. Therefore the signs of inflammation of such genes work in encountering the…
Organisational Analysis There are constant economic, political, and socio-cultural changes occurring rapidly globally. These changes make it necessary for organisations to modify their operational processes to ensure alignment with the dynamic external forces. According to Voehl and Harrington (2016, p. 92), change management refers to those approaches and frameworks which affect organisational processes by changing individual behaviour. The ultimate goal of change management is to improve organisational performance through the alteration of organisational processes. During organisational change, concrete leadership is essential to ensure that the change process does not stagnate. In an economy of increasing globalisation, transparency, government regulations, competition, and industrial requirements, change management and leadership is crucial for the survival of a company (Todenby, 2015) Organisational Analysis The company’s primary leadership strategy is based on the top-down approach. The departmental hierarchy shows the director followed by the head of distribution and two levels of senior managers, junior managers, and technical support. Every manager is encouraged to focus on achieving departmental goals in their niche without much cooperation from other managers. The decision-making process is made at the top…
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System To handle the ever-increasing volume and frequency outgoing and incoming data, a business needs to have an effective management system. Even for small businesses, where business operations are still uncomplicated, various business processes can be made as efficient as possible. Gone are the days where document filling and other demanding and more important operations such as data entry and data analysis were done manually. The best management that I would recommend for any growing business is the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. ERP, unlike its counterpart Microsoft Excel, allows more operations to be done in a more efficient manner. ERP has features that allow integration of important business processes such as sales, inventory, finance and marketing into a single system that is easy to manage. Although the excel spreadsheet is a very useful accounting and record-keeping tool, it has fewer functionalities as compared with ERP. It is, therefore, slowly becoming an out-dated method of managing business operations and it has been overtaken by more versatile ERP systems and other digital applications. The greatest advantage that…
CBK Treasury overdraft hit Sh 64 billion The Central bank of Kenya (CBK) shows an outstanding treasury overdraft of Sh 64.05 billion. The data is a result of the underperforming tax revenue streams and the high demand for capital to help in the ongoing fight against coronavirus. From March 1 through April 9, the Treasury has tapped Sh 33.58 billion from the overdraft facility, which clearly shows a reduced inflow of government securities and tax receipts. The money tapped by the Treasury from the overdraft is a temporary source of funds that will help the Treasury to finance salaries and repay debts. The money is usually accessed when the Treasury revenues from other sources are not flowing, yet spending demands are there. However, economist have warned on the excessive use of the overdraft facility, arguing that it is equivalent to printing money, which puts the economy at a high risk of inflationary pressures. CBK also regards the overdraft facility as a direct creation of money, which should ideally be restricted to 5 percent on a maximum according to the recent…
Three global developments in Canada Three global developments in Canada are impacting the economy and increasing the uncertainty of their economy. The first global development is the intensification of the global financial crisis. This has resulted in pulling in the credit markets and instability of global equity. Growth and development will also be restrained as a result of the financial markets reducing leverage. It is important to note that the United States of America is already in recession. This will impact Canada in that the chances of this country and its global economy experiencing recession will significantly increase. This is the second factor affecting the economy. Thirdly, the decline in the prices of commodities in this country is also a huge cause of worry. Inflationary pressures have reduced globally. Policymakers have responded to this by increasing liquidity in their markets and re-capitalizing their banking sectors. This will affect growth in Canada. It will be slow and receptive in the first quarter but will pick up gradually and influence development. It is essential to note that Canada will need to deleverage its…
