Hi, need to submit a 5000 words essay on the topic Oral Language and Code-Related Precursors to Reading.

Juan describes his interests as playing basketball, swimming, and fishing, which he normally undertake with his family, particularly his father and brother. He claims to have a big difficulty in school though, specifically in reading and writing English words. He says that way back in Mexico, he used to appreciate Science, but right now where every subject matter including Science needs to be learned and understood in the English language, he begins to dislike the subject matter. He has average scores in Math concepts exhibited by his scores in quizzes and long examinations. He is however poor in word attack and English vocabulary, which affects his performance in other subjects including Science, which used to be his favorite.

&nbsp.I was able to talk to Juan’s aunt once, upon visiting Juan and gathering information from his family about things related to his reading progress. This is where I found that both of Juan’s parents live in Mexico and had little schooling. The aunt related that both boys frequently scan their notes upon arriving home and practice reading orally. However, there are some questions that she could not answer, such as the correct pronunciation of a word or the meaning of a particular word, or if the sentence the boys have just uttered is grammatically correct, since she herself has a limitation in the English language as she just migrated to the United States five months ago. Juan is thus left with only the school to rely on when learning to read.

&nbsp.Juan appears to be persevering during reading sessions and tries hard to understand each word. Often, when he could not pronounce a word, he approaches me and asks how it is pronounced. He repeatedly utters the new-learned word until he thinks it sinks in.

This development increases the implementation of the new techniques and equipments in all the sectors, which lead to increase in the level of pollution and most importantly carbon emission. Meanwhile, it is also true that with the growing level of pollution, several anti-pollution techniques and equipments have also been discovered through the improved technology. It is apparent that global risk is increasing with the transformation in the climate and it requires urgent response otherwise environmental destruction cannot be stopped. This fact has been accepted by several countries worldwide and they made commitments accordingly. Though it has already been discussed regarding the availability of the anti-pollution techniques, implementation of those techniques and equipments in an organization require long term planning in terms of financial, technological, human resource and other aspects. Considering this fact, it has been intended to prepare a report on the requirement of reducing carbon footprint in a construction company, named Building Blocks I LLC, strategy development and implementation process of the total carbon footprint. Moreover, the report will also provide recommendation of adopting the most suitable renewable energy technologies with the proper justification of the selection. Discussion Critical Analysis of the Causes of Generating Carbon Footprint Carbon footprint is the tool of measuring the total greenhouse gas emission that can be directly or indirectly generated from an individual, organization, products or events. The footprint consisted of all six components of Kyoto Protocol Greenhouse gases namely Methane (CH4), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs), Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6), Nitrous Oxide (N2O) and Per fluorocarbons (PFCs). Carbon footprint can be measured in the tones of ‘carbon dioxide equivalent’, which can be symbolized as (tCO2e). Carbon footprint can be classified into two forms namely organizational and product. Organizational carbon footprint considers all the emissions from the activities across the organization, which includes company vehicles, industrial processes and energy use of buildings. Wherein, emissions across the entire product and service life cycle are considered as the product’s carbon footprint. It engaged manufacturing right, extraction of raw material, its use, final reuse, disposal and eventually recycling (Carbon Trust, 2011). From each and every day-to-day activities of an organization or a household, greenhouse gases can be generated, which have massive contribution in the overall carbon emission. The sources of carbon footprint can be exhibited through a diagram. Source: (Carbon Footprint, 2011).

Hi, need to submit a 5000 words essay on the topic The Digital Music Market: Apple iTunes.

Apple iTunes’ market entry strategy into the UK is more likely to succeed if carried out with much more concentration on customer satisfaction and value creation fronts while at the same time focusing on a market penetration pricing strategy coupled with incremental growth strategies in niche market centric operations.

&nbsp.Operated and managed by Apple Inc. the iTunes Store is a software-based online digital media store. It was opened as the “iTunes Music Store” on April 28, 2003 (www.images.apple.com). According to a research study conducted by London based researcher Xtn Data, it was mentioned that Apple’s iTunes Music store has a larger share of the UK digital music download market than the sum total of its competitors put together, i.e. accounting for about 54% of the market. It has been reported that as the demand for digital music has increased along with Apple’s market share (www.apple/tunes.com).

&nbsp.Apple maintains a good brand image. Thus it has a loyal customer base that helps to recruit new customers and to retain them. Thus its customers are enticed to buy new products such as iTunes when it was introduced (Dunmore, 2008).

&nbsp.There is tremendous pressure on Apple from the music industry itself to increase the price of its music downloads. This is because as digital music has become popular the music industry makes more money from iTunes (i.e. downloadable music files) than from their original CD sales. So far the company has not given in to this pressure, but if it gives in, it will be seen as a commercial weakness.

&nbsp.Apple has had a long-standing contractual relationship with IBM to supply it with chips. In early 2005 Apple threatened to terminate this relationship, and switch on to IBM’s rival Intel. Some industry people are of the opinion that this change could confuse Apple’s customers (Hart-Davis, 2009).

Hi, need to submit a 5000 words essay on the topic The UK Hotel Industry.

In spite of such diversity, a large proportion of work in the manufacturing industries to relates services. (Hoque 1999b). While human resources management as a concept attracted a lot of attention as a “more effective and productive approach to managing organizations key assets, its people”, there have been differences of opinion as to whether it is industrial relations management-personnel management (IR & PR) freshly packaged or a totally different discipline “aimed at integrating the management of people into overall business strategy and organizational goals” (Poole, 1990. Salamon, 1987. Storey, 1995b cited in Mc Gunnigle 2000). Three models of HRM have been suggested: normative” (prescriptive of an ideal approach). “descriptive” (identifying developments and practice in the field). and “conceptual” (a model for classification). (Storey 1992 cited in Mc Gunnigle 2000). In the normative model, HRM has a “team development” orientation, a “significant role for line managers” and seeks to develop an “organizational culture”. The conceptual model differs widely from IR-PR with as many as 27 differences listed. All researchers, however, agree that employee commitment is not only the dominant aspect of HRM but that it is the main differentiator between HRM and IR-PR. (Storey 1992 and Guest 1995 cited in Mc Gunnigle 2000).

&nbsp.The objective of human resource management is fostering employee commitment to enhancing employee performance. The rationale behind this premise is that employee commitment makes them more satisfied, productive, adaptable, willing to accept organizational goals and values and not mind to ‘stretch’ to meet these goals. ‘Stretch’, in this context refers to additional productivity, effective contributions and taking part in continuous improvement processes.

Hi, need to submit a 5000 words essay on the topic What are the organisational benefits of performance review.

While these individuals may differ on how and when performance reviews should be conducted they are all united on the point that such reviews and the review process itself is an essential part of employee growth which in turn leads to the growth of the company. Jack Welch served as the CEO of General Electric for more than two decades and links performance reviews to the overall mission of the company.

Welch (2005, Pg. 16) says that “Every decision or initiative was linked to the mission. We publicly rewarded people who drove the mission and let go of people who couldn’t deal with it for whatever reason.” GE’s own mission, when Welch was running the company, was to be the most competitive company in the world which fits with the two pronged approach of rewarding and doing the utmost to keep the best talent within the company and letting go of those who do not perform to a certain level. Such tactics could only be employed when effective performance review processes are in place and GE’s system for performance reviews has been lauded by critics and copied verbatim by the competition simply because it is one of the best.

The current issues faced by our organisation are mostly concerned with the human resource management of the company. Before an outline of these issues as well as a discussion of the problems is made, it must be noted that none of these issues are large enough to cripple the company but they do make the management process more difficult. Additionally, all these issues come with simple solutions and if those solutions are applied with careful consideration there should be no reason why the company can not gain competitive advantages over time.

The central issue for the company comes from the fact that many of our senior managers and other personnel have little or no formal training in management which leads to a lack of
