This paper will examine the practicality and mechanics of outsourcing the weapons registration of the West Australia. In the paper, we will examine models of managing the outsourcing of public services in West Australia that have been implemented. The proposed outsourcing scheme to implement the 2009 firearms registration process in West Australia is a hybrid plan and is based upon private sources and public agencies in West Australia that have shared their experiences in this endeavor. Problems experienced by the Victorian Police and their outsourcing of clerical issues will be considered as a counterpoint in the examination of outsourcing in West Australia. The issues experienced in Victoria have been largely similar to the problems experienced in West Australia and the solutions are similar as well. Also, West Australia can continue to learn from Victoria because many of these problems…...

This would provide an entire new level of communication between the service and the service provider. If the client did not like the service the last time they had their hair done, then they could point at the picture and show exactly the parts that they were not satisfied with so that the service could improve. This could offer a visual element to quality control that, to the best of my knowledge, no other service providers' offer.
It is hard to determine exactly how consumers would react to this type of service offering. There would obviously be some customers in the market that would greatly value such as service while others might not really place any significant value on it at all. Therefore, another idea would be to charge for the service. If the client paid a small fee for this customized service then this could not only offset the…...

Domino's has become a global conglomerate with stores in over fifty countries and they employ over one hundred and fifty thousand employees. Each individual location may have around ten to twenty full and part time employees. This corporate structure helped sales exceed four billion dollars in 2002 with an annual expected growth of five percent.
The main public relations and communications style is the company's unique selling and delivery style which equates to a successful advertising asset. The company is known for various approaches that use new inventions, technology and techniques in their advertising and communications processes. Domino's Pizza does a lot more than average amounts of retail sales advertising expected from a company of its size. For example, the communications with the external public consists of large quantities of marketing flyers as well as television, radio and newspaper advertising.

All organizations have to focus on sales and marketing as the main key to success because if there are no customers buying the products or services offered, a business cannot survive and grow. Success therefore entails attracting and retaining customers. "It is well recognized that a key issue in gaining brand awareness, trial, and subsequent loyalty is to reflect deep-seated values in advertising and augmented product offerings. When marketers address consumer values, target consumers sense that the product's purpose is to benefit their individual lives." (Durgee, O'Connor, and Veryzer) Marketing and selling must work together and Dominos has been very successful using the concept of the four P's: Product, Price, Placement and Promotion.

The newest marketing and communications approach is the internet. Domino's has a very up-to-date and modern web page with an internet portal that literally can have customers order pizza online and have it delivered by a local outlet. The web page provides very detailed information about the organization as a whole. One of the most important features of the web page is that the company has historically expended a great deal of resources on advertising to potential franchise owners in addition to customers. The web page now allows potential external franchise purchasers to read and disseminate Domino's franchise documentation and provides information pertaining to the franchise agreements and needs.

Another example of Domino's external communications process can be demonstrated by the company's national cause policy. "In July 2001, Domino's Pizza began a long-term national partnership with the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Through this alliance, Domino's is dedicated to delivering wishes to children with life threatening illnesses and assisting Make-a-Wish with their benevolent volunteer efforts through heightened awareness and

Currently, Myra's system of keeping inventory control is a mess. She relies solely on her employees to tell her when she is out of stock or low on something, which may cause the salon to have issues in regards to having all the equipment and products they need to satisfy the customer. She is sometimes left with no stock or is rushing to fill inventory demand. The following flow chart shows the process as is. In addition, Myra has trouble reaching out to customers because she has no system of keeping track of them. As such, she has a hard time remembering customers' likes and products used which would ultimately increase the ease of seeing regulars.

Workshop Agenda

ATOM Process Analysis and Procedure ecommendation

New Procedures to Stanch isks

Brainstorming will follow the ATOM Process to formulate solutions to increase safety and better manage risks.

Justification for Agenda -- the three risk factors were identified in all of the reports. Therefore, they will drive the Brainstorming session. The session will center around these issues, their resolution and then how to introduce a safety conscious regime. The Likert scale scores of the risk criteria identified should speed the selection of appropriate risk management solutions.

The BP Texas City oil case is a classic case of risk management. In this case, we have a productive oil refinery that had paid off its initial investment long before. As we can see in the BP case, the Active Threats and Opportunities Management (ATOM) process is rarely implemented correctly (Hillson & Simon, 2007, 23). This is precisely what we will be doing in this workshop.

In this way, all three methods of job analysis can integrate in order to provide an objective as well as global overview of the job being analyzed.
When analyzing the Packagers job, all three methods will then be used in an integrated way. Because of the size of the company, interviews and questionnaires have been considered as unviable. It would simply take too much time and effort to administer and analyze questionnaires. Interviews in turn would impose upon the work time of workers, and would not be sufficiently accurate to be of value to the analysis.

In order to assemble the information and complete the analysis in a timely manner, it was decided to delegate the self-reporting tasks to team managers. Each team manager will provide a self-report of his or her own, together with gathering self-reports from subordinates. These will then be consolidated and provided to the HR Manager. For…...

Communication and Perception Processes
Communication models simplify the descriptions of complex communication interactions

Three models:

Transmission- a linear one-way process in which a sender transmits a message to a receiver

Participants- senders and receivers of messages

Messages- the verbal and non-verbal content being shared

Encoding- turning thoughts into communication

Decoding- turning communication into thoughts

Channels- sensory routes through which messages travel

Barriers / Noise

Environmental noise- physical noise

Semantic noise- noise in encoding process

Interaction- participants alternate positions as senders and receivers of messages

Participants- senders and receivers of messages

Messages- the verbal and non-verbal content being shared

Encoding- turning thoughts into communication

Decoding- turning communication into thoughts

Channels- sensory routes through which messages travel

Feedback- messages sent in response to other messages

Physical context- environmental factors

Psychological context- mental and emotional factors

Transaction- a process in which communicators generate social realities within social, relational, and cultural contexts.

Communicators

Simultaneous sending and receiving of messages

Social context -- the norms that guide communication

elational context- the personal history between the communicators

Cultural context- race, gender, nationality,…...

Coding and Data Analysis Process in Qualitative esearch
"Coding is the process of combing the data for themes, ideas and categories and then marking similar passages of text with a code label so that they can easily be retrieved at a later stage for further comparison and analysis. Coding the data makes it easier to search the data, to make comparisons and to identify any patterns that require further investigation" (Taylor & Gibbs 2010). Coding is a critical aspect of qualitative research as without effective coding there is nothing but a sea of potentially interesting but not necessarily useable data. It could also be argued that during the coding process analysis is already taking place, given that qualitative research is empirical and proceeds 'from the ground up:' during the coding process, the theory or ideas about the subject matter are only just beginning to take shape. Some codes before the…...

unning Head: BUSINESS POCESSES OF APPLE INC.2BUSINESS POCESSES OF APPLE INC.Business Processes of Apple Inc.INTODUCTIONProcesses are at the core of how every business operates, and the greater understanding of what they are, how they function, and their impact. Whether employees are purchasing or onboarding orders, data should constantly move across the office in a specific order to get done. With this in place and mind, this is where mapping of business processes is introduced. Business Process Mapping (BPM) is a powerful technique that is highly utilized in visualizing the activities of a business by considering the relevant standards, responsibilities, and roles. Business process maps illustrate how inputs and steps are related to producing a service or an end product (Nwogugu, 2015). This includes when a workers leave is approved or when a specific product or good undergoes the packaging process.Additionally, the BPM provides a visual way of understanding, analyzing, and…...

processed foods and diet has had a negative effect upon many populations, particularly contributing to obesity and potential Type-II diabetes and a host of other problems. Medical doctors, scholars, researchers are all in agreement that there is a complete link between what we eat and drink, and the consequences to our overall health. Technology has certainly done wonders for learning, but has also contributed to children preferring video games to outdoor exercise. This, in combination with diet and sugary sodas at school has negatively impacted children's health. Dutch researchers in public health and epidemiology were so alarmed by these trends they developed a study to measure the effects of using fruits and vegetables as an intervention during mid-morning school breaks (Tak, et.al., 2010). These researchers are very well qualified on this topic, as they are professionals in Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Public Health with major universities in Holland. The information…...

Sample Selection- The study included 705 mixed gender children aged 9-10 years old in 4th grade. Fifty-five schools participated; 31 segmented for intervention and 24 as control. There were schools in five cities that met all participation criteria and there were slightly more girls who completed the study than boys. Enough extra participants were recruited during the initial stages of the study to result in the 705 completed; thus having a large enough population that was statistically viable and longitudinally appropriate. However, the Schoolgruiten research group selected the intervention cities, set the control parameters, and although there were baseline differences between the intervention and control groups, quantitatively speaking there was not necessary adequate adjustments for many demographic or psychographic variables within the study groups. From a quantitative perspective, a more clustering of variables (income, age of parent, educational level, and more) should have been structured into the study as opposed to using governmental mandates for certain groups (Halkidi and Vazirgaiannis, 2001). The research groups provided consent, teachers knew which groups had fruit and vegetable intervention, but the governance of the research was more administrative and political than scholarly in orientation.

Design and Data Collection- The design of the study was quasi-experimental and included a pre -- and post-test. Baseline measurements were conducted prior to the start of the intervention and the first follow-up was 1 year later, the second 2 years later. Both children and their parents completed questionnaires about the child's intake of food. Children completed the questionnaire within one school hour and were guided by teachers. All responses were treated confidentially, tagged and coded by independent researchers, and all had appropriate levels of consent. Questionnaires contained parallel questions for parents and children and a single item focus was done to see what the children brought to school vs. their consumption, then habits over the course of two years. Schools were not obliged to change their school policies, although teachers were asked to encourage students to bring fruits and vegetables and a specific section in a special lunch-box was given to students. The major focus of the intervention was to give a piece of fruit or vegetable (apple or orange slices, sherry tomatoes, baby carrots) free, twice a week during the mid-morning break in their own classroom, supervised by the instructor.

This approach used a mixed method of both qualitative and quantitative interpretation methods. Because the data was self-reported, longitudinal, and some of the groups were chosen by a non-research body, much of the material measured was not precisely quantitative in nature. From a quantitative standpoint, the numeric analysis of this data did show patterns, and was validated through statistical means. It focused more on the aspects of collecting and analyzing the intervention methods than explaining the causative factors influencing the basic hypothesis of the research. Too, while the data

SOCIOLOGY Sociology: Analysis Paper- VeteransThe following critical analysis is the selected article Examination of Veterans Fathers; Parenting and their Adolescent Childrens Substance Use in the United States. The article discusses substance use among those adolescent children whose fathers were in the military and did not get time to talk to their children about the risks of substance use. The study compares non-military veteran fathers and their children to check adolescent substance use (Lipari et al., 2017). The results showed that higher rates of children of military veteran fathers were involved in smoking and nonmedical prescribed drugs compared to lesser percentages of children of non-military veteran fathers. It was a clear deduction that parental involvement, highlighted by parental capital and social capital theory, is vital for building a healthy father-child or parent-child relationship for protecting children against substance abuse and similar social, emotional, and psychological harms.According to homecoming theory, military veterans…...
