The "driving forces" that are fueling growth in the PHS industry are not unique, but they have been focused on an "innovation process [that] often leads to changes in market structure composed by varied players, and the appearance of novel services in the market" (Gao & Damsgaard 2007, p. 185). Not all industries have shared the positive experiences of the mobile telephone industry in China, though, and a number of obstacles and challenges remain firmly in place that tend to hamper innovative practices in China, and these issues are discussed further below.

Obstacles and Challenges to Innovative Practices

Obstacles and challenges to innovative practices can adversely affect an enterprise's two fundamental innovative activities, (a) product innovation and (b) process innovation (Lin & Lin 2010). Typically, higher product quality is related to higher production costs, while process innovation attempts to minimize such production costs (Lin & Lin 2010). In either case -- and…...

Section 1 - ecommendations

The first recommendation refers to the company's human resources approach. The company only has 2 employees, which are also the two partners owning the company. In order to expand the company's activity, it is recommended that the company employs additional personnel. Without increasing the number of employees, it is very hard to believe that the company's growth objectives will be achieved. Once a business is expanding, the necessary of human resources increases as well.

The second recommendation refers to the company' advertising methods. Currently, the company uses word of mouth as main advertising method. This is a very effective tool in terms of cost and results when it is used by a small business. But if the company is planning on expanding, other advertising…...

Today, most business enterprises function in an integrated way. Decisions, for example, are based not only on what is best for the bottom line, but also how the bottom line interacts with other elements of the business. Other elements include issues such as accounting and ethics. Many and varied integrations need to be made to ensure that business decisions are as sound as possible not only for the profitability of a business such as odolfo, but also for how such a business interacts with is environment in terms of both human and non-human elements. In this way, odolfo needs to take into account the general ethics of its operations and its interaction with the environment to ensure optimal operations and as much longevity as possible.

Hope is ingrained in the incompletion of men from which they are in motion persistently seeking - seek that continues to be in conjunction with others. Desperation is considered to be a kind of silence, of renouncing the world and escaping it. The true dialogue do not seem to prevail unless the dialoguers involve in critical ideology - the ideology that discriminates an integrated harmony between the world and the people and asserts of absence of any division between them - the ideology that perceives reality as process, as transformation, rather than as a static entity- the ideology that never thinks of separating it from the activities rather persistently involved itself in the temporality without fear of the risk involved. In absence of the interactions there exists no contract and without contract there can be no real progress within the organization. Leaders do not approach the people so as…...

Business management is defined as a social process that incorporates planning and controlling the operations of a business enterprise towards the achievement of specified goals and objectives. The process of business management is multi-faceted because of the various sectors, activities, and operative functions. In addition to planning and controlling operations towards realizing certain objectives, business management also entails motivating employees and solving problems creatively. Given the multi-faceted nature of business management, there are five functions of management. These functions are planning, staffing, organizing, controlling, and directing or coordinating. These functions play an important process in business management through separating processes from other business functions (oberts, n.d.). The fundamental functions of management are separate from business processes like finance, information technology management, marketing, and accounting.
Each of the essential functions of management is important for effective business management for various reasons. Planning is important because it entails coordinating the organization's management levels…...

It is hard to argue with the legitimacy of that consideration.
Employees have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the workplace, but that right has limits. Employers are not prevented from conducting some hidden surveillance in an employee's office as long as it is for legitimate business concerns. An employer may have sound reasons for monitoring the workplace and an intrusion upon the employee's reasonable privacy expectations may not be actionable under certain circumstances.

The impact of this case is simply that while employees do have a right of privacy at work from the outside world, they don't necessarily have that right from their employers. Employers have the right to defend and maintain their business enterprise and if that entails using hidden cameras or surveillance equipment, then the Court has said that they can do this. The sticking point is that it has to be done if a reasonable manner and…...
