Marketing
Identification and development of a rationale for a current issue in Marketing:-

The extensive embracing of the marketing concept by organizations is a comparatively new one. Sans one or two exclusions, writing on marketing is just crossing the fifty-year mark. However, during these fifty years the manner in which we think regarding marketing and its practice is undergoing a sea change. Marketing has advanced from a basic focus on 'giving the customers their requirements' to a pan-company orientation in which the particular potential of the business are focused around building and providing customer value to targeted market segments. (elationship Marketing: Creating Stakeholder Value)

Marketing is analyzing, organizing, planning and controlling of the company's customer invading resources, policies and activities with an objective of fulfilling the needs and wants of selected customer groups at a profit. During the growth markets of the 1960s and 1970s, the challenge confronting the managers was to…...

U.S. health care system in terms of the current issues prevalent which shape the U.S. health care policy. It addresses two main questions:
What are the activities affecting the U.S. healthcare system?

What is the impact of the specific economic, political, cultural and historical factors on the current U.S. healthcare policy?

Secondary information sources i.e. published text and online sources of information have been used to gather information for the analysis of the healthcare system. It appears that economic factors, medical advancement and universal health access are the most important factors currently shaping the U.S. healthcare system, and needing reforms in these areas. The ultimate goal of health care reform is to keep costs at a level no more than a specific percentage of the economic growth of the country.

Current Issues in Quality and Safety

Patient safety is considered a priority in the health, increasingly complex activity that involves risk and in which there is no system capable of guaranteeing the absence of adverse events, as it is an activity in factors inherent in the system combined with human activities. According to the statistics, each year in the United States, Medical errors can kill up to 98,000 patients figure higher than deaths from traffic accidents, Canada and New Zealand, about 10% of a hospital patients suffer adverse effects from medical errors, while in Australia, this figure is approximately 16,6% (Miller & Coughlin, 2001). Direct consequences assistance is its economic impact: additional hospitalizations, patients and their families, along with the loss of income, disability, capabilities and medical costs represent a cost in some countries. This information has led the community to reflect about the absolute necessity of adopting effective measures,…...

This can have a major impact on the health outcomes of obese people, with ongoing serious problems and early and increased mortality much higher for those who are morbidly obese and do not have health insurance when compared with those who are morbidly obese and do have health insurance (Frangou 2009).
Perhaps surprisingly, obesity is just as much of a problem in some countries that provide access to adequate and appropriate healthcare to all of their citizens, such as the United Kingdom (Collins 2009). Western Europe has seen a rise in obesity very similar to that of North America's (and the United States' particularly), and close to one-half of the United Kingdom's population is now morbidly obese (Collins 2009). Overall health outcomes are slightly better in the UK, due to more complete access to preventative care for certain of the specific health issues that arise as a result of obesity,…...

The crisis is even greater for those who have lost jobs or who have become underemployed, as health care costs and the cost of insurance continues to rise ("What's Wrong With").
For too long, the government has been turning a blind eye to this problem, refusing to recognize that that Americans' health is their most precious resource. But it is high time that the government learns that protecting its people is worth any fiscal cost. For this reason, we, as a nation, need to tell congress that Americas should not have to choose between health and financial stability, between medications and heat, or between school tuition and vaccinations. I am moving that congress hold a special session in order to weigh the different types of health programs available to us as a nation.

he problem with this argument is that the world is not purely economical in its activities or its planning. he notion that state -- i.e. political -- entities have ceased to matter in global trade issues, though increasingly popular among certain scholars and pundits, is a perspective that is at best "profoundly misleading" (Krasner 1976, pp. 317). he fact is, states act according to perceived threats both to their security and to their sovereignty. hese reactions are not always purely rational, at least not from an economic sense of the word, and therefore the pure rationality of economics cannot be used to predict state action -- which is still hugely important -- in the area of free trade (Krasner 1976). Despite the hegemonic decline of the United States that Milner notes, it is still a country with an enormous amount of international clout that can easily appear threatening in international…...

There is even a lack of conclusive evidence that free trade and a global economy actually serves poorer countries well as entities in and of themselves. As Kapur points out, "global financial markets bring high risks and high rewards," and though poorer countries have more to gain they are less capable of handling risk (1998, pp. 120). The recent global financial crisis is indicative of the greater risks these countries bear, and the poorer citizens of the world are certain to be hit the hardest by slowdowns in production and consumption. Proponents of globalization argue that moving manufacturing to underdeveloped countries affords their workers opportunities for growth that were not present before, but the lack of regulation that these countries purposefully mandate in order to attract business allows for a complete lack of protection and exploitation of the workforce. Things might be good for these workers when the global economy is growing, then, but they will be the first and hardest hit by any problems or corrections the economy undergoes.

Conclusion

Globalization might be good during prosperity, but the negative effects of free trade are hugely magnified by economic downturns. If countries and workforces are regularly decimated by the global economy after losing the self-sufficiency of their pre-modern economies, it can hardly be suggested that globalization is a good thing overall. Only a system that leaves these countries essentially intact in all economic conditions is truly beneficial.

The idea that work is not to be supposed to enjoy has unfortunately become engrained in American society and in the cultures of many organizations and this has contributed directly to the rise of stress related illnesses and disorders (Gardiner 2010). Stress has a direct negative impact on health, leading to higher blood pressure, potential heart problems, increased headaches and other minor aches and pains, and a variety of other physical symptoms (Gardiner 2010). In addition, stress reduces the ability to focus, which has a negative impact on productivity and also increases the likelihood of mistakes that can lead to other injuries or safety issues. This new area of workplace health and safety concerns luckily has been studied enough that several direct and indirect methods for reducing workplace stress and its effects have been developed; solutions as simple as increasing laughing and developing an organizational culture of increased jocularity…...

secular society, Christian values, beliefs, and worldviews are systematically excluded from the educational system. Parents who can afford costly private schools can help inculcate their children into a Biblical worldview, but the majority of Christians who cannot do this and whose children attend public schools need to find ways to resolve the ideological conflicts presented to their children. Children regularly receive disparate information about crucial issues such as those related to gender roles and norms, human sexuality, and the origin of life on earth. While all of these core topics challenge Christian educators to adapt their curricula to conform to legal and societal expectations, the most contentious of these might be the evolution and intelligent design debate. Christian educators continue to struggle with presenting a more balanced worldview to their students, but legal and societal expectations persist in silencing minority voices.

uddhist Ethical Concerns
There are numerous ethical issues that have tended to dominate and generate debate in the world during the last decade. Issues such as abortion, ecology, genetic engineering and animal experimentation are ethical problems that deeply concern all religious persuasions. These issues are of particular importance with regard to uddhist views and practices. One of the central areas that have evoked a wide ranger of ethical responses from both Western and Eastern religions is the question of cloning and stem cell research. All of these issues confront the practicing uddhist and all demand a response from the uddhist viewpoint in contemporary life.

Underlying much of the uddhist approach to contemporary ethical problems is the principle of Karma and the fundamental emphasis on actions that are non-harmful to other sentient beings. This foundational precept is based on the belief in the intrinsic value of all living things. This refers to…...

THEE ISSUES Three Issues Currently Affecting International BusinessThree major issues currently affecting international business are trade deficits, renegotiating NAFTA, and the global market. A trade deficit can cause unemployment to increase within the country, directly impacting international businesses. If the country relies more on imports than exports, people within the same region will not find jobs. Businesses are meant to produce greater job opportunities for the economy, hence contributing to a better future for the workers. However, a trade deficit would not probably facilitate such situations and adversely affect peoples jobs within the country (Congressional esearch Service, 2020).NAFTA has been a great source of boosting international business as it helped reduce the costs of business, enable investment and growth, particularly for small businesses, and formulated agreements to protect investor rights (Amadeo, 2020). enegotiations of this agreement require the workers rights and protection to be bold and clear so that international…...

The inconclusive evidence shows the difficulty of regulating issues of science rather than policy, and given that it is not certain that these substances are dangerous in the amounts in cosmetics, the warning labels seem unlikely to influence consumer behavior.
I ask the question: does more information promote better behavior? The answer is: not always. Millions of people eat artificial sweeteners, drink alcohol, and smoke cigarettes, despite warning labels on these products. Also, people use cosmetics tested on animals -- and even inject Botox, a paralyzing chemical in their foreheads, in the name of beauty. Additional warning labels will do little to change consumer behavior, especially when it comes to style, unless there is more research that proves that these chemicals pose a health risk....

How can nurses recognize their own accountabilities and responsibilities when delegating aspects of care to others?
It is a difficult task for nurse to understand precisely what to do in the delegation process as there are many conflicting guidelines and opinions on the subject. The only sure way for registered nurses to properly fulfill their responsibilities of delegation, is to maintain a relationship with the nurses they delegated and be available for them when necessary. At the same time, nurses need to be sure to give trainees space in order for them to learn independently. Patience, observance, and guidance are the techniques essential to registered nurses attempting to provide quality delegation.
How can nurses delegate and supervise others consistent with legislation and organizational policy?
In order to delegate and supervise their trainees, registered nurses need to strictly comply with the current legislation and organizational policies existing in their place of work. That being…...

The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) was established with the main purpose of addressing and coming up with resolve for current issues being faced by professionals in the accounting field, which were not addressed by announcements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Prior to the establishment of ETIF in 1984, the FASB constantly faced challenges of not being able to offer well-timed and sensible solutions to developing practice problems. The EITF was therefore designed to disseminate and propagate carrying out guidance within the structure of the Accounting Standards Codification to decrease multiplicity when it comes down to it on a well-timed basis. In their field of profession, accountants experience a wide range of issues that are not comprehensively addressed in accounting pronouncements, and, which necessitate prompt resolve.
