Abstract
The dominance of commercial technological innovation in the context of modern society has resulted in a form of technological dependence for some individuals, causing them to pay less regard to aspects of the physical world. Technological innovation has assumed a noteworthy role in the flow of our daily lives, such as through the methods we employ to maintain interpersonal connections. Numerous individuals are included in a matrix of connections facilitated by technological innovation and an increasingly digitalized culture; however, the vast amount of these affiliations can leave individuals the global community feeling subjectively void.

Reciprocity of Marketing & Culture

INTRODUCTION
The growing interdependence of global markets has made a more compelling case for culture as an increasingly significant variable in marketing efforts. For one, products and services produced at a global scale find more diverse platforms, particularly across virtual media. The pace, scale and content of products and/or services are, moreover, making an increasing case for more standardized offerings across different marketing contexts. Typically, consumer behavior metrics – including, most notably, conventional market research and more innovative approaches as data analytics platforms and applications – are adopted in order to identify consumer behaviors and needs. This approach to consumer behavior ...

All these factors put the company under serious search for solutions.

Over the last few years, the cafeteria ...

I: Introduction

The research topic is: “Examine the impact of diversity management on organizational performance and innovation capabilities”.
This article examines the following research questions:
How diversity affects the organizational productivity?
In what ways, diverse workforce impacts innovation?
Modern businesses are focused on international supply chains. Globalization facilitates international mobility of individuals, reshaping employment relationships. Moreover, diversity provides an important case for equal employment opportunity in the workplace (Harvey and Allard 2015). Recent literature goes beyond the discussion of the legislative framework, outlining the "business case" for diversity, drawing it as the critical competitive asset to generic strategy (Knights and Omanovic ...

Introduction

Young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 need at least seven hours of sleep each night to maintain their cognitive, emotional, and physical functions, but college students tend to lack quality sleep. A sample of 1,160 college students reported sleeping on average 5.85 ± 1.85 hours per night, and 35% of them considered their sleep bad or very bad (Elagra et al., 2016). Lack of sleep has been associated with higher risk of negative moods, unintentional injuries, risk-taking behaviors, and poor academic performance (National Adolescent and Young Adult Health Information Center, 2014).

Introduction

A very controversial issue among video game players is how playing violent video games contribute to aggressive behavior and problems in school for the youths.

These games allow the youth to become part of the story behind the online games they play as they embody the attributes of characters they choose. Unlike the old video games, contemporary video games are more refined and sophisticated that it ...

Description of the Chosen Organization

One of the most important points to learn in public administration courses is the way how nonprofit and government-related organizations work. The first thing that has to be remembered is that they work differently compared to for-profits mainly based on the fact that their actions and behaviors are often not motivated by profit. However, critics would suggest that all organizations, be it nonprofit or for-profit may at some point, be validly considered as a form of for-profit organization because they both rely on a steady stream of income paired with sound and effective forms of budget management in order ...

Smoking is one of the most harmful habits dangerous to the health of not only smokers but also others. Currently, smoking has become a massive "epidemic" common among men, women and even children. The fact that smoking is harmful to health know everyone, but not all realize the true extent of its impact.
Damage to health damage is delayed in time and not immediate, but gradual, usually after 10-20 years after the onset of smoking. Therefore, many smokers at first do not notice changes in their health status and believe that nothing will happen to them in the future, ...

Abstract

Public and private schools, colleges and universities are increasingly spending much resources implementing technology for use in the teaching and learning processes in their institutions. Indeed, the proliferation of technology in the daily lives of people is spurring increased adoption of education technologies in these institutions. However, despite its wide acceptance in the private lives of many people, and evidence of easing daily tasks, adoption of technology in the teaching and learning experiences in schools remains challenging, with the full extent of its achievement still debatable. The advocates of integration of technology in the classroom acclaim that once technology ...

Abstract

Apparently the multiple dimensions of environmental management concerns for countries with multi-tiered systems of governance were far less understood approximately twenty five years ago. It was thereby important for the government to impose regulations that have the ability to assess and bypass thornier intergovernmental issues with respect to its ability to protect sensitive environments and introduce strategies for growth and expansion.
In this context the term “disaster resistant community” holds good as opposed to “Disaster Resilient Community” and there are very specific issues why Webstar defines ‘Resilience’ as the ability to recover from or adjust easily from a calamity ...

For the second part of the proposal, the author focuses on reviewing the current best evidence on the topic of wearing school uniforms.

Theory

There are numerous factors that can directly or indirectly (sometimes both) affect a student population’s educational outcome and ...

For my research paper on homelessness, I will be using a variety of sources, including the novel The Soloist, to help illustrate the problems that the homeless have to deal with on a daily basis, as well as the possibility for recovery.

The paper will first address the homelessness statistics in Canada, particularly cities like Burnaby, as a backdrop for the more personal stories from the homeless and to provide context for the ordeals that face today’s homeless. There are several types of stories I would like to convey through the research paper, including family homelessness and individual homelessness. The memoir ...
