The Purpose of Scanning the Market Environment (150) Because of the advancement in technology, the majority of the businesses work in an information economy whereby the success of an organization relies on knowledge than the resource they possess. Therefore, in this perspective, competitiveness is primarily on the capability to obtain, treat, and utilize informative materials effectively to make company decisions. The environment in which an entity operates can create challenges and opportunities for the syndicate, surge the level of ambiguity, and can lead to information search (de Lorenzi, Junior & Rossetto, 2014). Due to the uncertainty created by the surrounding, managers need to scan their environment to avoid being overtaken by risks and enabling the enterprise to function as an open system. Environmental scanning (ES) refers to a tool utilized by organizations to analyze their surrounding, and its efficiency relies on some underlying aspects. Studies indicate that ES is an essential component since the process allows businesses to work as an open system, and it enables managers to change marketing techniques based on the prevailing environmental conditions. Notably, numerous enterprises…

diethyl ether as a fuel and an additive in diesel engines 1. Literature review This paper used various researches done on diethyl ether as a fuel and an additive in diesel engines. There are multiple methods used to minimize the harmful exhaust emission from diesel engines. There different procedures used to remove the detrimental discharge on diesel engines (Sezer, 2019). The first technique was to modify the engine design and fuel injection, which is very costly and time-consuming. The second technique that was not as effective as it negatively affected engine performance; it used various exhaust gas devices. Finally, the other method was the use of multiple fuel substitutes and fuel additives, which worked well; it abridged emission and enhanced engine performance (Sezer, 2018). Nitrogen oxide (NO) and particulate matters (PM) are significant pollutants and are difficult to be eliminated. The only solution to reduce emissions is the use of various additives, which include the use of addictive conventional fuel diesel and alternative fuel, natural gas, biogas, among others. Therefore, the use of other fuel and fuel additives stood to…
Routine violations Violations of the established rules, procedures, and standards have also been a source of human-related errors in the aviation industry. While many violations occur, routine and exceptional are the most popularly associated with accidents. For this reason, having a comprehensive evaluation of these violations can shed some valuable insights concerning their correlation with mishaps. Routine violations. Popularly known as bending the rules, this type of error often one of the chief causes of accidents in the aviation industry. While individual operators perpetrate routine violations, they are mostly tolerated by systems of supervision and management that allow such departures from the established guidelines (Shappell et al., 2007). In this sense, this violation is habitual in nature because the governing bodies do not have a problem with its execution. Placed within the context of air transport, some regulators may allow operators to fly aircraft that have been grounded because of their safety concerns. For example, some countries such as the united states were not quick to ground the Boeing 737 Max planes after being declared unsafe in most jurisdictions. Such…
use of lithium-ion batteries Renewable energy sources are essential in reducing the emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the creation of a sustainable society. They are crucial in reducing our dependence on environmental pollutants such as oil, natural gas, and coal (Kotcher et al., 2019, P. 1082). However, the challenge with the use of renewable energy is their dependence on environmental conditions. Solar energy, for instance, is entirely dependent on sunlight, and if there is no sunlight, it becomes an unreliable source of energy. Such challenges demand the use of lithium-ion batteries, which allows for the solar energy to be harnessed and stored until when required (Choi et al., 2016, P.12). A lithium-ion battery is made up of three components, namely two electrodes and a chemical medium called an electrolyte. For the cell to generate electricity, a chemical reaction must occur, triggering the electrons to move from the anode (negatively charged electrode) to cathode (positively charged electrode).when the stored power is exhausted, the battery is recharged consequently sending the electrons back to the negatively charged anode. Globally, the…
Malcolm x journey to Mecca As Malcolm x went through his journey to Mecca, he had a strong belief that the black and the white race could never come together and live peacefully. Loving in America where racism was very high made Malcolm believe that white people are evil, and they have the privilege to enjoy good things in life while black people suffer under the expense of the whites. Through his journey in Mecca, he was able to change his mind about white people, after realizing that not all white people are evil. The journey changed his mind and transformed all his initial believes after seeing different people from different races coming together and working without barriers. “Never have i seen such a beautiful sight nor witnessed such a scene nor felt such an atmosphere” (378) are the words he used to describe the appearance of different races interacting without minding their racial differences. He later set goals to work for the principles he now believed. He explained that it was his first time experiencing color blindness in the…
urban infrastructure decision-making model This paper highlights the urban infrastructure decision-making model. According to research, model seeks to explain complex processes solution based on selected decisions as well as the actions that have been taken. The initial problem is linked to the final decision to ensure that the proper procedures were followed. It also allows one to take relevant actions that will solve the problems faster and better.
