Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Legal Aspects of International Mergers, Acquisitions and Takeovers: Title is : ( Strategic collaborations rather than acquisitions are increasingly used as an alternative to acquisitions or mergers. Critically discuss). It needs to be at least 3750 words.

ome clear that strategic collaborations are a viable, standalone option in case mergers and acquisitions are not feasible.2 This paper will examine the dynamics involved in the strategic collaboration versus mergers and acquisitions debate. Are strategic collaborations usurping M&As, or are they simply a new corporate trend that will die in the near future? Also, what are the factors involved in choosing between strategic collaborations and M&As? Do they justify inclinations towards either approach?

Different theories have been presented for and against strategic collaborations. However, based on recent developments in global business, it is safe to infer that strategic alliances are becoming more favourable to corporations. In spite of this, preference for strategic alliances is based more on the fact that they are advantageous in specific ways that M&As, are not, than the fact that they are worthy substitutes to mergers and acquisitions.3 In addition, M&As are not worthy substitutes to strategic alliances because the intentions are so markedly different that mixing them would create enormous challenges following the completion of the alliance or the M&A. In summary, strategic alliances and M&As serve different and highly specific purposes and their effectiveness varies depending on numerous factors. It is misinformed and erroneous to suggest that either approach is an alternative to the other.4

Airline alliances are a good illustration of the different dynamics involved in strategic alliances that dispel the notion that strategic collaborations are being used as alternatives to mergers and acquisitions.5 If airline A strictly wants to expand, increase shareholder value and grow its market share, it is more likely to prefer a merger or an acquisition to a strategic alliance. In addition, if its growth plans are reliant on taking over other companies then an M&A is favourable.6 However, if airline A simply wants to boost its industry profile and to improve

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on LASA Working Ahead. It needs to be at least 750 words.

They provide an 8 step ethical decision making model for psychologists by expanding on the work of Knapp and Vandecreek. A summary and critical analysis of the ethical decision making provided by Bush et al is discussed below.

The model proposed by Bush et al incorporates the five known steps of the model identified by Knapp and Vandercreek while including the decision making components identified as lacking in the model (Bush, Connell, & Denney, 2006). The eight step model developed by Bush et al aims to provide forensic psychologists with a way of resolving ethical challenges. The first step proposed is identification of the problem. It is vital for forensic psychologists to make a distinction between ethical, moral, legal, and professional perspectives in the professional activities requested of them. By understanding these perspectives, the psychologist may get to clarify the ethical problem or dilemma. Psychologists will gain from specifically understanding what is troubling about a certain situation. The second step is for the psychologist to consider the significance of the context or setting. Forensic psychologists work in multi-varied settings and contexts. Professional activities that are suitable in one forensic context or setting may be inappropriate in others. Concurrently, some professional guidelines that are appropriate in one setup or context may be inappropriate or entirely unsuitable in other situations. The third step in the ethical decision making model may provide the most challenge to forensic psychologists. The third step postulates that psychologists should identify and utilize ethical and legal resources in their decision making. This may prove a challenge as there is a wide array of published resources that may sometimes offer conflicting guidance pertaining to relevant ethical issues in forensic psychology. However, psychologist are likely to find better guidance when using published and

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Legal and Ethical Aspects of Electronic Monitoring and Surveillance of Employees. It needs to be at least 1250 words.

Electronic monitoring has been defined as “the computerized collection, storage, analysis, and reporting of information about employees productive activities” (Office of Technology Assessment, 1987). Employee monitoring has become much easier with the advent of new and cheap technologies. Electronic Monitoring and surveillance includes practices such as video and audio surveillance, monitoring employees’ usage of computer that includes checking of email, computer files and sometimes even keystroke speed.

There are many reasons for instituting monitoring and surveillance.

Security and protection of business information can be cited as other reasons.

There are several types of employee monitoring and surveillance systems. The most commonly used are 1)computer monitoring :With the help of computer monitoring systems an employer can check an employee’s speed and accuracy, monitor the number of errors, the number of jobs done, time spent away from computer. This information can then be used by the employer to maintain records of an employee’s performance and to set performance standards 2) Video surveillance: Employers use these systems to track employee theft, and wastage of time 3) Phone tapping: This is the most common method of monitoring used by employers. Here the number of calls, the frequency, the length and destination of the calls are all recorded. This information is then used to detect if an employee is passing on critical information about the organization to outsiders and to train employees for better customer service. 4) E-mail and Voice Mail tracking: In some workplaces employers monitor an employees e-mail and voice mail. With the help of new technologies, employers can easily track

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Language Development Hypotheses. It needs to be at least 1500 words.

r bilingualism affects intellectual development since as early as the 1920 when Saer (1923) and Smith (1923) executed numerous studies on the topic since then have attempted to determine whether monolingual and bilingual children differ in intelligence as measured by standard tests. Many of these investigators found out that bilingualism has a considerable effect on intellectual functioning. Nowadays bilingualism is tightly attached to intelligence. However, until the year 1962 due to many factors of which we can highlight racism, Bilingualism was considered as a problem see a handicap that prevents the child from adapting with his school mates and gives him an introverted character.

Early studies showing bilingual children to be “handicapped” in speech development and academic achievement happened when they analyzed children’s intelligence without taking in consideration their socio-economical status. In fact most of the studies that proved that multilingualism hampered the child’s development were made on children coming from very low class environments and therefore suffering from dissatisfaction of their physical needs. These children are logically not scholarly advanced due to the preceding circumstances that out shadow the advantages offered by being bilingual. One of the most important researchers in that matter, O Doherty, (1958) suggests that it is necessary in any consideration of the influence of bilingualism on intelligence to distinguish between two types of bilinguals, genuine bilinguals and pseudo bilinguals. The pseudo bilingual knows one language more than the other and doesn’t use the second language in communication, the genuine bilingual masters both at an early age and feels comfortable communicating with both languages. When researchers distinguished between fluent bilinguals, they found out that fluent bilingual children develop more flexible mental capacities and frequently out-perform limited bilinguals of the same national

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Learning to Read and Write. It needs to be at least 1000 words.

This &nbsp.paper outlines that at the initial stages, Mrs. Hugh taught Douglass how to read but she stopped once she took the same perception like her husband towards slavery. Despite at the initial stages encouraging Douglass to learn, she became one of the chief opposer of the idea and worked towards halting the process through any available means. Douglass would carry a book along with him and request the white children to help him read the book once he met them on the way as he run his daily errands. “The Columbian Orator,” a book Douglass acquired during the age of twelve years proved to be of great interest to him as he learnt a dialogue between a slave and his ,master where the slave managed to negotiate the terms of his working conditions having tried to escape for three times.

From this paper it is clear that the book equally helps Douglass to learn about the travesty of slavery as well as loathing the master holds towards his slaves. Douglass is worried upon realizing the burden he carries after knowing how to read where while thinking about death as well as an abolitionist movement, he makes a decision to escape from the life of slavery but again believes he is too young for such. Consequently, Douglass figures another obstacle to his escape as he realizes that he had no writing skills that he feels he needs to learn in order to run away once he possesses the two concepts. Douglass takes some more years at his master’s place and continues with his goal towards learning how to write. After a number of years with the help of the white children, “finally succeeds in learning and writing.” &nbsp.The journey towards Douglass achievement of learning and writing is therefore challenging and full of obstacles but he eventually achieves his goals despite taking a number of years where his eyes opens a lot.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Learning knowledge and effective performance. It needs to be at least 2000 words.

Investment is learning is made possible through training and development of individuals and it is quintessential to harness such strengths so that the employees could manifest their truest selves within the workplace settings. On the same token, it is also important that organizations give the employees a choosing policy so that they could opt for the courses which they think are essential for their future training and development needs. However some studies could be made mandatory so that all the employees make sure that they take it for their own betterment. Indeed the organizational regimes would benefit in the long run and this is an important consideration for the top management, who is always enacting policies to suit the needs of the employees at the workplace. This paper takes a keen look at the ways and means through which training and development has assisted the learning quotient. and the methods which are deemed as significant in such activities are also touched upon in meticulous.

As an HRD advisor, it would be my duty to properly align the training and development activities under those methods which bring out the best value. This value is measured through the application of training and development activities towards the employees. The long term benefits are envisaged and the same are manifested in a manner which is close to their tasks and processes that they undertake at the workplace. Learning has taken the front seat in most organizations because the top management understands its due role and thus gives the best possible mechanism for learning to develop within the workplace settings. Learning is deemed as essential as it outlines the strengths within the processes that are held under the aegis of training and development activities (Kraiger 2002).

25).The reversed event sequences make it interesting, the beginning marking Sal’s present-day account of spending Christmas with his relatives in Virginia, the middle part showing Dean’s surprise and unannounced visit to Sal in Virginia, and the final part describing the events leading to Dean’s unannounced visit to Sal, bridging the beginning with the end.

Kerouac focused the addressee’s attention using sequence markers depicting what came first and last. For example the phrase “It was over a year before I saw Dean again” (Kerouac, 1999, p.101) implies the present setting, continuing until Sal learned that “Dean had lived happily with Camille in San Francisco ever since that fall of 1947…” (Kerouac, 1999, p.104).The phrase “I learned that (Dean had lived…)” prompts a flashback in the story’s timeline on how Dean ended up in Virginia in a car with two other people. Even in the narrative’s reversed sequence of events, subtle context clues and prompts show what happened, what happened next, and what happened after that (Hooey, 2000, p. 25). Contextually this is the narrative’s sequence: Dean compulsively bought a car using Sal as scapegoat to leave her and be on the road. Meanwhile, within the year that these events happened, Sal spent time writing his book at home and going to school. Sometime between Christmas and New Year Sal visited his relatives and brother in Virginia, but was surprised on Christmas Day when Dean and company appeared at his brother’s doorstep. After settling down, Dean told Sal why he visited unannounced (Kerouac, 1999. Kerouac moderates narrative timeline jumps by prompts connecting indirectly-related events. Since people take contexts and subtle links using their own experiences and views, the narrative makes sense even when sequences are reversed (Underhill, 2013, pp 20-22),

It is proved that the specific relationship has many different dimensions, a fact, however, that it can be explained if taking into consideration the importance of learning for the development of a variety of social, political and economic activities. The importance of learning for human development has been strongly emphasized in the existing literature. In accordance with Kail and Cavanaugh (2008) the involvement of learning in human development is identified in the learning theory – where reference is made to the role of learning in human behavior. In the context of this theory the learning process is mainly based on the social life of people, meaning that people are likely to imitate the behavior of other people within the particular social environment. The specific theory also promotes the view that infants have an increased cognitive ability, being ready to learn from their environment. However, there is also the opposite view that learning too early is not feasible, since the learning process is depended on the experiences of each person (Kail and Cavanaugh 2008). The learning theory, as explained above, is based on the rule that learning can strongly affect human development. The intervention of learning in human development can be achieved through the following ways: ‘a) by promoting specific modes of behaviors/ responses. in this way, learning becomes an automated process, no as of the process followed as, mainly, for the example used, b) or as imitating the behavior of other people or observing events developed in the social environment. the learning process developed in this way is characterized as ‘imitation or observational learning’ (Kail and Cavanaugh, p.12). The above views can lead to the assumption that learning is a critical factor for human behavior. in terms of human development, learning can act either directly or indirectly. In its first mode, direct involvement of learning in human development would have the following form: a person acquires the knowledge necessary (meaning the laws supporting the claims of employees in the workplace) for securing his interests in the specific organization. From a different point of view, Gagne (1968) notes that learning is a key factor for human development under the following terms: human behavior is related to change. in case of suggestions for changes in the particular organization it is possible that certain of these changes are rejected, probably under the influence of people with contradictory interests. If these changes aim to promote human development, then a relationship is established between human development (employee development) and human behavior (Gagne 1968). In practice, this means that human behavior can affect human development – for instance, when an employee refuses to participate in a training programme funded by his employer. In the above case, human behavior prevents learning, a fact that also affects the personal development of the employee involved. The relationship between human development and learning can be identified at the following point: teachers at all levels of education need to meet specific criteria in order to be able to respond to the demands of their position. In accordance with Holmes Group (2007) one of the key characteristics of successful teachers is their ability to understand the learning potentials of learners.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Listening in Group, Working in Groups (5th Edition), author: Isa N. Engleberg and Dianna R. Wynn. It needs to be at least 250 words.

It is rather evident that persons rarely acknowledge group aspects as paramount until it personally appeals to them. As such, it is evident that such persons often conform to short-term memory when they listen in a group.

Thirdly, the inability to invoke a working memory equally presents problems. As described by Engleberg & Wynn in chapter 8, such memory often comes in handy as individuals listen in a group. The capability to appropriately, invoke it often improves functional processes within a given setting (Weiten, Dunn & Hammer 3). Indeed, the ability to comprehend, appropriately apply short-term memory and invoke a working memory is instrumental in propagating listening in a group. Failure to understand such challenges often pose constraints.

Because of the ideologies evident in the paper, it is clear that listening in a group is strenuous since one fails to personally associate with the message. It is necessary to comprehend the resulting phenomenon and initiate appropriate
