Contingency Plans to educe Cryptosporidium ate
Shadyville, Sunnydale's neighboring town, has reported an incident rate of 10 new cases in every 100,000 residents for cryptosporidiosis. As a result, the residents have two contingency plans that could assist in probably reducing the rate of cryptosporidium. The first contingency plan involves the removal of pathogenic microorganisms in the area's water system, which will decrease the influenza rate to four new incidents every year. In contrast, the second plan focuses on completely protecting the population against influenza though the mandated, innovative antidote would make participants become extremely lethargic and unable to function for 7 days.
The implementation of a suitable contingency plan to lessen cryptosporidium rate requires extensive analysis of each option on the basis of health outcomes. This process would entail making considerable economic evaluations as well as cost-benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, and cost-utility analysis. For the residents of Shadyville, there are…

The company enjoyed spectacular growth and profitability under the leadership of its former chief executive officer, Herb Kelleher, and the company's current leadership has picked up where Kelleher left off by continuing his corporate vision for Southwest but in expanded ways. The question therefore remains whether Southwest has bitten off more than it can reasonably chew given that its track record of success is built on the original business model and focused on domestic service using one aircraft model only. By following the steps outlined above, though, Southwest stands a better chance of succeeding in these uncharted waters.

Personal Technology Contingency Plan
With nearly every aspect of modern life dependent on electronic devices, there has never been a more important time to have a personal technology contingency plan. Smartphones and their many contacts, applications and customized options often represent hundreds of hours of time invested in getting them configured to a person's specific preferences. Multiply this by the number of devices and laptops that many people are relying on in their lives and to do their jobs, and the impact of losing all this data can readily be seen. It would bring anyone's life to a screeching halt and lead to days of chaos as the information, applications and specific settings were regenerated from memory. Too often human memory and effort is the default technology contingency plan (Young-Jai, 2001).
The most common scenarios that lead to lost data include lost or stolen devices, corrupted data and disk storage…

The starting dose of Renvela is one to two 800-mg tablets three times per day with meals. The dosage should be adjusted by one tablet per meal in two-week intervals as needed to obtain serum phosphorus target (3.5 to 5.5 mg/dl).
When administering an oral medication for which a reduction in bioavailability would have a clinically significant effect on its safety or efficacy, the drug should be administered at least one hour before or three hours after Renvela.
Most frequently occurring adverse reactions for Renvela in a short-term study included nausea and vomiting. Cases of fecal impaction and, less commonly, ileus, bowel obstruction, and bowel perforation have been reported (Beyrazov, 2009).

A review of the events thus far
The review is showing that the greatest threats are from terrorism and natural disasters. These have the potential to devastate the local economy and negatively impact first responders. To deal with them requires everyone thinking proactively. This is accomplished by understanding the role of the different stakeholders and coordinating them with each other. Once this takes place, is the point the various events can be controlled and the underlying amounts of collateral damage is mitigated. In these cases, local officials must be prepared to work with the private sector, nonprofits and citizens to decrease the risks. This means that they must establish a chain of command, procedures for identifying critical challenges and techniques for adjusting with a host of contingencies. The state will play a secondary role by providing additional support and funding. During and after the…

Key challenge in any contingency planning and risk assessment process is to generate and maintain commitment and participation in the process from senior decision-makers and those at the working level within organizations, keeping the process dynamic and up-to-date is another key challenge, too often contingency plans and risk assessment processes have been 'consigned to the shelf' after the initial planning has been completed.
Therefore to be truly effective, contingency planning and risk assessment processes need to be seen as an ongoing processes that are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure all participants are familiarized with their various roles and responsibilities and preparedness actions are undertaken. Coordination mechanisms should be put in place to ensure that cluster/sector participants are also fully briefed to avoid wasting time 'reinventing the wheel'. Also ensure that organizations are committed to the contingency planning process from the outset and that the necessary resources, both human and…

Integrated Emergency Management
In the last several years, the concept of integrated emergency management has been continually evolving. This is taking place by focusing on how communities, businesses and government officials are prepared for a host of events ranging from natural disasters to terrorism. In 2007, the UK experienced a series of floods between June and July. This was the largest peace time rescue operation in the history of Britain. (Flin 2008)
However, in the aftermath of these events, the government determined that more preparation needs to occur. To fully understand how these issues were addressed, requires looking at the shortcomings of the flood and what changes have been enacted. Together, these elements will illustrate the lasting lessons and the most appropriate steps to prepare for them. (Flin 2008)

Contingency Planning
Information Security contingency plans are very important for firms operating in today's world, where cyber security is a top issue a result of business's technological and digital dependence. This paper will discuss the planning steps, possible recovery options, and recommended testing requirements needed to support a successful business contingency/continuity of operations environment. Included will be recommendations for a proposed 24-month cycle business contingency testing plan, what should be tested and how the test should be conducted. Critical corporate assets will be ranked with the type of testing (i.e. plan reviews, tabletop exercises and backup recovery tests). Costs associated with the recommended testing process will also be taken into consideration, including personnel, equipment and production costs.

Mitigating isk
Actually, there are a number of different ways that one can answer the interrogative from the CEO about whether risk elimination is possible. Those different approaches involve everything from the philosophical to the pragmatic. However, since it is a CEO that will receive this answer, it is probably more advisable to issue an answer from the latter branch of thought, while merely alluding to some of the tenets of the former. isk always exists because of the nature of the world, which in itself is unpredictable and offers no guarantees. To that end, the most vigilant organizations are able to mitigate risk and reduce the likelihood of any disadvantageous occurrences. It is virtually impossible to outright eradicate any possibility of risk, particularly when considering various information technology systems associated with data management and computer networking, for the simple fact that new threats and new possibilities…

The authors state: "The amphetamines occasioned dose-related increases in d- amphetamine-appropriate responding, whereas hydromorphone did not. Amphetamines also occasioned dose-related increases in reports of the drug being most like "speed," whereas hydromorphone did not. However, both amphetamines and hydromorphone occasioned dose-related increases in reports of drug liking and in three scales of the ARCI. Thus, some self-report measures were well correlated with responding on the drug-appropriate lever and some were not. Lamb and Henningfield (1994) suggest that self-reports are complexly controlled by both the private event and the subject's history of experience with the drug. Some of the self-reports they observed (e.g., feels like speed) are probably occasioned by a relatively narrow range of stimuli because in the subject's experience with drug administration, these reports have been more selectively reinforced by the verbal community relative to other reports (e.g., drug liking). They also suggest that these results imply…

Explain your plan for dealing with risk by developing a contingency plan
The risk embedded within the overall market is that of uncertain macroeconomic factors and their overall implications on consumer confidence. Unemployment remains stubbornly high at 7.7%. Unemployment has never seen these levels since the great depression (Beaudreau, 1996). Median incomes in the United States have fallen from $51,000 prior to 2008 to a now more modest $48,000 (DeNavas, 2012). During this period however, commodity prices have increased. The prices of gas, food, utilities, and rent have all increased over the past 5 years. This puts a strain on consumer confidence and consumer spending. This affects Treme as the restaurant relies on the discretionary income of individual customers to generate profit. As such a contingency plan is warranted in the event of adverse economic circumstances. The main sources of risk for the company will be changing consumer sentiments,…

There are minor differences in prices, quality, and features of these products. Therefore, consumers can choose those products that best match their current needs. In the new market, Technosoft will need to strive hard for building a strong customer base by producing and promoting innovative technology solutions.
v. The Bargaining Power of Suppliers:
The bargaining power of suppliers is strong against new and small scale software manufacturers while very low against top market leaders. eason being, large scale manufacturers take advantage of their financial strength and make long-term collaborations with the raw material suppliers in a view to get regular and non-stop supply. On the other hand, small manufacturers can neither make strategic collaborations nor make bulk purchases for getting discount on raw material. As a result, the bargaining power of suppliers increases against these small manufacturers.

As part of the research triangle, Raleigh has a significant portion of its population that fits the target market. For the Farmery to succeed, it only needs to capture a small portion of the market share. This is especially true because the store has a small footprint, and has the flexibility to set up on vacant lots without the costs of either renting or developing fixed real estate. The Farmery therefore needs to focus on two or three key elements to ensure adequate market penetration.
The first of these is location. Let it not be understated that location, location, location is critical to the success of any retail business. Because food is not normally something that people are willing to travel more than a few miles for, it is important that the Farmery target a neighborhood where there is a high concentration of individuals that fit the target market.

As a result of huge growth, the company's management may lose focus of the scope of their business.
Miller Inc. has a highly centralized hierarchy of management and lacks the managerial backup to promote creativity amons the employees.
Single-sourcing which is the characteristic of Miller Inc. could be a recipe of disaster should the supplier fail. Contingency plans for supplies need to be considered.
The constrant production nature of the product leads to huge strains on personnel and machinery.
Product line and client base lack diversification.
While the small number of staff promotes camaraderie, unfortunately, it also impedes growth and development.
Miller Inc. is reactive rather than proactive in its marketing efforts. This is as a result of its heavy reliance on mass-media advertising for obtaining new business.
The current facilities of Miller Inc. are crowded thus there is little room for expansion of workforce or equipment.

Grill Kabob Marketing Plan Management
Controls
In order to attain the set goals for business, controls in the pertinent areas aiming at monitoring the performance of business is necessary (Smolianov & Aiyeku, 2009). The controls will look into the actual result against the target annual sales, profits and capital growth. The employees service value to the customer will be assessed against customer number inflows and the value customer have on them. The range of products produced and sold in the restaurant will be assessed for its marginal contribution to offsetting the running expenses and profits earned by the business. These controls will adequately serve to advice the business management on the corrective and emphasis decisions to take (Smolianov & Aiyeku, 2009). The function of monitoring and evaluation will be carried out through both internal and external measure.

The marketing organization will undergo some adjustment as noted above, specifically with respect to the introduction of a female marketing team. To accommodate this, a new marketing executive will be required, reporting to the VP, Marketing. The European Marketing Director will be elevated to VP Marketing, Europe and there will be greater independence between the continents, which should allow the European marketing division to focus on a more Europe-focused strategy. In addition, greater links will be forged with Polaris marketing teams, in particular in search of effective cross-marketing opportunities and access to existing Polaris distribution channels overseas.

The result is approximately $23.5 billion spend each year in the U.S. attending sporting events like the 82 games per year at the Boston Garden

Business Plan
PGE "Introduction and How it Fits into MB"
The development of this plan is critical for the enhancement of my MB studies. In this study, I will try to develop a "for profit" (as opposed to non-profit) company to compete in the U.S. food industry. My organization will be a C Corporation in order to raise money from ngel investors and perhaps Venture Capitalists as we grow. It is my understanding that VC's and ngels prefer C Corporations for a myriad of reasons, but most importantly because of the flexibility of the different classifications of stock that C Corporation afford to its shareholders. In addition, the rationale behind choosing this company is based on the concept that sweet treats and refreshments seem recession proof, and that people will always use their disposable income for sugar or refreshment in. I saw on CNBC a documentary on Coca Cola, which…
Although Marshal Healthy Foods will show improvement over other retailing organizations in the present economy, its reputation and image are genuinely influenced by criticisms from environmentalist and labor unions. Marshal Healthy Foods is likely to be accused of various claims on distinctive issues such as bad working conditions, issues pertaining to child labor, wage issues and discrimination (Manian, 2007).
Threats
Marshal Healthy Foods will have internal labor relations issues besides confronting some outside threats postured by the economy and its rivals. Since Marshal Healthy Foods will have constantly great sales performance, certain areas are expected to be affected by sales problems. The sale of some areas is likely to decline from 5% to 15% all through the pastries line. This decline will not harm traditional pastry retailers like La Baguette Bistro but hurt the sale in Marshal Healthy Foods.

Disaster Recovery Plan
When unprepared organizations are hit by disasters, the consequences are not only dire but often prolonged thereby robbing the companies of not only financial stability but also their hard earned established brand name and image. Since RJ compressors have an unwavering reputation for their high quality products and its compressors are known worldwide for their reliability and durability, it has to be prudent in making plans and formulating strategies in order to keep its reputation and established brand name intact. This is because, every firm entering the global market and wanting to stay there for generating handsome profits must not leave room for risks, disasters and threats in all…

ecovery Plan: Biological Attack in the U.S. Congress
The havoc and deaths caused by the weaponized anthrax spores that were mailed to members of the U.S. Congress following the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the repeated attempted uses of botulinum toxin on U.S. Naval bases make it abundantly clear that governmental offices are vulnerable to biological pathogens. These agents have been and likely will be used by terrorists again to achieve their goals of bringing harm to the United States and it interests at home and abroad. The hypothetical comprehensive recovery plan developed in this project is in response to this type of food-borne pathogen attack and takes place in the cafeteria situated in the ayburn House Office Building in the U.S. Congressional complex in Washington, D.C. which serves members of Congress, staff members and visitors. The scenario begins with the telephonic notification to the Capital Police that all…

First, the strategic crisis leader should use environmental monitoring techniques to identify events that could trigger crises in the future. With numerous potential crises in today's environment, it is essential to be prepared for potential worst-case scenarios such as natural disasters and product failures. Second, the leader should integrate crisis management into the strategic management process so it remains a regular part of the overall strategy-evaluation process. Strategic management is meant to adapt to change and a crisis is a sudden, potentially disastrous change. If the contingency plan for dealing with such a scenario is built into strategic management, then it will be implemented as the changing environment dictates. Finally, the leader should establish a culture that embraces crisis awareness and preparation as a way of life. By disseminating the belief that preparedness is essential, all levels of the organization will be ready to handle a crisis.

Military-Led econstruction and Fiedler's Contingency Theory
In light of the unfolding instability, violence and difficulty that characterized the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States military must reexamine its approach to the strategic invasion, occupation, reconstruction and power-handover that have evolved into a war-making template for the nation. Accordingly, the research conducted hereafter considers the need for a change in leadership orientation, using Fiedler's Contingency Theory as the lens for the literature review thereafter. The Findings drawn from the review of literature are presented in this account and, generally, provided confirmation of the pertinence of Fiedler's contingency theory to modern military strategy as well as the pertinence of Fiedler's Least-Preferred Coworker checklist to defining ideal military leadership. The reported findings connecting Fiedler's ideas with strategic and empirical documentation on applied military policy contribute to a number of policy recommendations. In particular, these policy recommendations revolve around two…

isk Management on a Satellite Development Project
Enrolling a project requires risk assessment and management at various levels of implanting a project. This is based on the knowledge that quality of risk management determines the performance and outcome of the project. In any case, the Project Management Office (PMO) is mandated to spearhead a risk assessment and management plan. isk management blueprints will later be implanted to each department. This analysis attempts to vindicate the role risk management in explaining the quality of output of this project. The commencing document is structured in two main parts. Firstly, a critical assessment on the fundamentality of risk. Secondly, the document will analyze the role of the team in responding to risk management stipulated by the PMO office (Charrel & Galarreta, 2007).

Hospital Emergency Plan
According to a study, about 99% of hospitals have plans to cope with disaster, and 95% of them even had committees for that purpose. There were reports from 90% or more of the hospitals which showed that they were in collaboration with emergency treatment services (96%), emergency agencies for management (94%), agencies for law enforcement (95%), fire sectors (95%), along with health sectors (92%). 96% of the respondents sated that there were plans to cope with disaster throughout the hospital, and that they were accessible easily (Higgins et al., 2004, p. 328). Meridian Health has made it its responsibility to better the welfare and health of New Jersey residents. They do this by giving the best quality health services in the community, homes and hospitals, which put their focus on patients, and also by conducting clinical research and education for the enhancement of medicine (Meridian Health, 2016).…

Increasing the awareness of consumers to the product provided by the company will be one of its key objectives. Situational analysis of the market where the organization is shows that the company has the weakness of low awareness of consumers to its products.

Defense Cuts
Implications of DoD Force eduction Plan
Defense budget spending: The inevitable need for reductions
Cuts in the defense budget are inevitable for the Department of Defense and it must accept this fact. Given the burgeoning deficit, reductions in tax revenue, and increased need for social services (such as unemployment assistance and entitlement programs), the Department of Defense must find ways to do 'more with less.' Granted, this will be challenging, given the current demands of modern warfare, but the Department must meet this challenge rather than attempt to lobby against such legislative initiatives. The "2011 Budget Control reduce[s] Defense Department future expenditures by approximately $487 billion over the next decade... Achieving these savings is hard, but manageable. It is hard because we have to accept many changes and reductions in areas that previously were sacrosanct" (Defense budget priorities and choices, 2012, Department of Defense: 2). Ultimately, rather than…

In one regard, the senior assisted living community sector is one of the most stable and fastest growing industries in an otherwise stagnant domestic marketplace. This is to the advantage of the firm that has been at the center of our research discussions to this juncture. But for Emeritus Senior Living firm, this advantage is today being offset by a number of internal performance patterns that must be addressed. Indeed, the model for growth at Emeritus has to this point been extraordinarily successful from a sheer economic standpoint.

NxStage is a medical equipment manufacturer specializing in hemodialysis products for use in the home. Their main flagship, NxStage SystemOne, constitute two-thirds of the company's revenues. The product has been on the market for several years, but NxStage has never been able to turn a profit, nor has it been able to develop a viable second major product. This has created a strategic dilemma for the company as to how best to enhance shareholder value going forward.
The external environment is generally challenging, especially in light of regulatory changes that aim to drive down the cost of medical care, not necessarily good for a company like NxStage that has a differentiated product. There is some demand for the product, but also substitution from dialysis clinics, which can be offered at a lower total…

ecreational fishing is a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States, both for salt and freshwater. Conservative estimates show that there are upwards of 30 million individuals with more than a 1-2 time/annum interest in the sport. This has an overall impact on the economy of $125 billion (Williamson, 2012). Consumer demographics show that it is primarily a male oriented event. Mobility and technology have improved the sport in the last two decades, as well as maps, surveys, and handheld sonar and GPS devices. For this reason, as an organized sport, it is chiefly an upper middle and above income sport that also may require several thousand dollars in travel expense. There are even contests for ice and sport ice fishing in the U.S. And Canada.

By 2012, the range of product offerings will have expanded further to include the exclusive "Pavilion Apartments," greater wine making capacity, the avant-garde MONA FOMA festival, and the flagship MONA private art museum.

The fruit is grown in our Tamar and Derwent Valley vineyards. t new winery focuses on a much smaller and very high quality output. t uses gravity-flow to make boutique, ultra-premium wines. And they use estate fruit that is grown in a sustainable manner, with organic and bio-dynamic techniques.…

The study shows an organizational plan of a department. The aim of the study is to emphasize on how the theory of organizational life is applicable with the help of utilization of the action research process.
eframing means to redirect or change the way of thinking and look at things with a complete different mindset. In simple terms reframing is change of plans or basic details of an idea. Looking at events from a complete different mindset helps you to avoid individual biases. It also emphasizes the importance of adjustments and flexibility in the organization. The process of reframing suggests finding out…

Threats due to weather include floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and blizzards. Planning for weather events should be very realistic in nature. Major weather events usually occur in 25, 50 and 100-year cycles. Disease outbreaks are also a big threat. A potential flu pandemic could be detrimental to many businesses. For example, the bird flu pandemic scenarios that are floating around are being modeled on the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918. That global outbreak killed 500,000 people in the United States and more than 20 million people worldwide. Since that time there have been two other smaller scale flu pandemics, each that killed hundreds of thousands of people. The flu is just one disease that can cause a business disaster situation around the world (Business Continuity during a Disaster, 2008).
ecent years have also shown that terrorism threats are a real possibility that needs to be considered. Terrorism is a great…

Marketing Planning
This marketing plan details Itcorp's business model. It addresses the company's mission, policies, strategies and objectives to achieve profitability. Itcorp's integrated software and hardware solutions for healthcare providers are described at length, as well as objectives for the long-term.
Our company
Itcorp plans to begin operations starting in January 2006. One thing that is unique about Itcorp is how it got its start. In 1988, two partners, Max Renfield and C.L. Rotwang, decided to start Jetson's, a business offering IT solutions to companies in the small to medium size range; in those days, the market was segmented mainly according to size. In the early 1990s, many of the companies Jetson's had been serving had grown to the point that the company's IT solutions were no longer adequate and so the company had to expand its product line to continue to serve these customers (and prevent them from switching…

The modern day society is nowadays characterized by numerous challenges, one of the more notable of these being increasing health problems among the population. And these health problems are more severe not only as they attack more people, but especially since they come to impact younger and younger generations.
A large majority of the health problems of today are related to an inadequate nutrition, combined with a sedentary life style. The youth of the day for instance consume more and more calories from the highly processed foods and they exercise less, as the leisure activities come to be centered on video games or other sedentary activities (Smith and Biddle, 2008).
In such a setting then, the current project proposed the…

Bon Secours Project
I n 1824, in Paris, amidst the devastation following the French Revolution, a group of 12 women came together to form the congregation of the Sisters of Bon Secours, French for "Good Help" and the Sisters' purpose was to nurse the sick and dying in their homes (Bon Secours, N.d.). The group later arrived in the United States towards the end of the nineteenth century and has been operating there ever since. The organization has grown to include many locations in several states on the East Coast. The organization still operates with their Catholic heritage in mind and much of the cares provided in these organizations are charity cases. The organization consists of a staff of over 21,000 and well over 60 facilities in six states. The current business model is a regional model. The organization has significant access to resources and there should be no issues…

eing a leader also means constantly provoking competitors, as is the case here.
Finally, as previously mentioned, innovation is essential to supporting the company's approach and policies on the market. From this perspective, a pioneers approach is obviously indicated. As pioneers, Z-Wing will be able to ensure that its innovations are first on the market and that new customers are attracted to the new products and services that the company is putting out on the market. At the same time, as pioneers, Z-Wing will lead the market from this perspective.
In terms of price, the cost leadership strategy that has been identified here means that the company will be able to sell its planes at a price level lower than that of its competitors, obviously making it more viable on the market. With a lower price, the company can still act as a market leader, but without necessarily reducing its…

Marketing plan
Controls: PowerAde
Implementation milestones
Coca-Cola's PowerAde is one of the primary rivals of PepsiCo's Gatorade in the sports beverage market. Gatorade is the most popular sports beverage drink "with sales of 553 million cases last year" (PowerAde seeks to gain zero-calorie consumers to rival Gatorade, 2011, Sports Business Daily). However, PowerAde has undertaken some aggressive moves to position itself ahead of its rivals. In 2011, PowerAde replaced another of its rivals, Vitamin Water "on the sidelines of 88 NCAA non-football championships, including baseball and basketball, giving it wide-ranging marketing rights" (PowerAde seeks to gain zero-calorie consumers to rival Gatorade, 2011, Sports Business Daily). PowerAde sales have tripled in the last ten years, showing Coca-Cola's ability to expand its marketing outreach in this area.
PowerAde has positioned itself as a lower-cost alternative to Gatorade, offering the same electrolyte replenishment at a lower price. But overall, Coca-Cola does not…
