Response Hyundai Cut Cost

All organizations should look for ways of cutting costs when they experience a decrease in profit. However, in implementing cost-cutting measures, it is important to start by establishing budget variances. This helps to identify the costs that have adverse variances. After identification, the management should look at the reasons behind the variances and establish how to rectify the variances. At this stage, the management comes up with methods of reducing the variances. These are the cost cutting measures that the organization should adopt. Another measure of cutting cost is adopting zero-based budgeting approach. In this approach, every expenditure item ...

Introduction Organizational change has become a significant feature in today’s business environment. According to Burke (2008), the need for change and the demand for organizations to adapt and modify their operations have intensified. In fact, the most prevalent challenge in many organizations has been the need to cope with the rapid change. In a recent study conducted by leadershipIQ.com, a failure to manage the organizational change is one of the top reasons for termination of jobs for many managers (Murphy 2015, para 1). This failure is attributed to the managers’ inability to motivate employees, especially by not articulating ...

Ibsen exposes the life experiences of his main female character Nora to show the way patriarchal societies deprive women their freedom by suppressing their views, treating them like children, and through repressive gender roles. Nora’s life and her relationship with her husband, Torvald, is a typical reflection of the importance of self-determination for women within the marriage institution. It is apparent that when a person’s freedom is limited either by choice or by chance, one is not able to establish a relationship based on equality with a partner or other people within the society. The author provides ...

The purpose of this paper is to try to analyse two symphony concerts which are performed by the Danish conductor Thomas Sondergard. The both concerts consist of the pieces of music of Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich and his symphonies No. 5 (C mol) and No. 11 (D mol).

Introduction

It is thought that the European Union, besides other markets, has liberalized the employment market by lowering the level of regulations in this sphere and enabling people from each Member State of the Union to become employed in any Member State. This has taken more than fifty years of deliberations and negotiations between the sides. Among the main instruments, which have been used during this procedure, we need to list social partnership and social dialogue as the procedures aimed at reaching consensus between the social partners. Additionally, the European Union as a result of implementation of the previously discussed ...

Characteristics of a Whistleblower

Whistleblowing is defined as an unauthorized external or internal disclosure of information which relates to an unethical practice of a superior or a co-worker which has either occurred or is being contemplated (Apaza & Chang, 2011, P.35).

In this case, a whistleblower adopts a dissident voice in the society which makes him/her disregard societal taboos and expose matters which are considered secretive. Their dissent makes them value the public interest more than personal loyalty or ...

This is after the kidnapping of a twelve year old that resulted to her death. Thereafter, ...

Introduction

It has always been true that those not part of the dominant cultural group are alienated from the rest of the social environment, one way or another. Abuse among partners is common in many relationships, either heterosexual or homosexual. However, many times, prejudice and discrimination are directly shown upon gay and lesbian partners, which makes it hard for them to report abuse by their partner, out of fear of failing the social stereotypes. Violence and conscious manipulation are human traits that cannot be classified based on gender. They can occur in any relationship, including among homosexual partners. Intimate partner ...

History has proven the close proximity of coexisting ethnic races has been and remains at a minimum a potentially incendiary situation. The United States of America’s 1906-1921 era surrounding World War I is absolutely no exception to this putative unwritten law of human nature and affords numerous race riot examples to demonstrate these difficulties. The riots that occurred in Atlanta (1906), Omaha and Chicago (1919), and Tulsa (1921) patently evince the brewing racial tensions between Whites and African Americans that exploded-precipitated and fueled by hatred, baseless fear, false accusations, malicious rumors, and innuendo-into riots, leaving in their wakes death, destruction, ...

Most states have enacted laws that allow prosecution of juvenile offenders as adults in response to the increasing rates of crimes committed by adolescents. Those in favor of trying juvenile offenders as adults believe that certain violent crimes committed by juveniles merit harsher punishment than allowed by juvenile law, and that harsher punishment may serve as a deterrent for the commission of future crimes. However, a growing body of evidence is beginning to show that this belief is wrong and unjust.

Bob Dylan’s song uses lyrics about to the divine in his song ‘With god on its side’. The title is also the main hook of the song as well demonstrating the importance of god and the divine.

The process of using punishment as a threat to deter individuals from committing criminal activities denotes deterrence. It holds that retribution is an obligatory consequence of a crime committed, and ought to be measured through the gravity of the offence done. The approach was based on two assumptions; the first was held that the punishment would discourage and prevent the individuals from committing similar offence, and the second assumption held that the dread of punishment would prevent others from committing crimes (Sieberg, 2005). However, there are various deliberations as to whether or not the use of prison as deterrence to criminals ...
