What is Definition?

 

Ironically, the definition of the term “definition essay” is not very specific.  Definition essays are short pieces of writing on a particular topic.  However, not every essay on a topic can be properly labeled a definition essay.  Instead, a definition essay is an attempt to describe the topic thoroughly enough for the reader to understand it very well and might be compared to an encyclopedia entry for the topic.  Any of our example essays could provide a good start on a definition essay about the topic.  However, we have collected a sample of our best definition essays and included them below to help you explore the genre.

Security features and protocols in web conferencing systems
As many companies face increasingly tighter travel and entertainment budgets, face-to-face meetings are not as viable as they have been in the past. The ability to still accomplish the same results from remote locations, often uniting experts globally, has continued to show significant potential to reduce costs while also increasing productivity and accuracy of communications. The ongoing developments and improvements in Web conferencing have also led to greater levels of trust in Web conferencing relative to previous generations of these technologies. The economics of using Web teleconferencing have become too strong to ignore, with many of these secured systems capable of paying for themselves in two years or less (Suduc, Bîzoi, Filip, 2009). Nearly all companies who produce Web conferencing systems are continually investing heavily in the core technologies of authentication, security and single sign-on technologies to ensure the security of their platforms (Xirasagar, Mojtahed, 2010). Security has clearly emerged as a key success factor for the adoption of Web conferencing systems, as the economics of these systems can show positive ROI with just 15% adoption through a global enterprise (Baker, Hanson, Myhill, 2009).

Workforce flexibility and employee motivation in economic downturns
In today's challenging economic and business environment, managers are often faced with a dilemma regarding the human resource policy that is best applicable. In this particular case study, an important problem is brought forward: what is the optimum dimension of the workforce in an organization? There are several dimensions to this problem that will be discussed in this paper, including the challenges and consequences of having an adequately large workforce, motivational theories that apply to the employees etc. The premise of the issues described in the case study is simple: in the present time, the economy no longer has a predictable trend. With stagnation and economic recession just passed, the economic and business environment has not truly returned to the levels from before the crisis. Even worse than this, one is never sure whether it actually will. With all that in mind, what are organizations to do? Should they retain the current workforce, in hope that the future will bring higher demand for their products and services? Should they let go a number of people, so as to be more dynamic and reduce costs?
