Public and Private Sector Unions?
More than 200 members of the U.S. House of epresentatives and U.S. Senate have in recent times supported the Employee Free Choice Act to permit workers the freedom of choice to develop unions. The consequences of the support surrounding the legislation and the larger concentration on the economy and workforce-related issues have made the right of workers and unions the topic of many discussions across the country. (What America is saying...About Labor Unions?) There has been an expansion of public sector unionized employment that seems to show the way to a larger government and assist in higher taxes. In 1932, the movement to systematize the public employees was started and it acquired strength along the way with the election of liberal government administrations at all grades of government. (The Unreasonable power of public employee unions)

In 1958, a significant administrative action happened when obert Wagner, Mayor…...

Fixed assets are assets and property that cannot be easily converted into cash. The public sector deals with those that mainly involve expense, whilst the private sector deals with tangible property such as machinery, factory buildings, and large computer systems.
3. The public sector account analysis reports public accounts (i.e. those applicable to the nation and its people as a whole), whilst the private sector, obviously reports accounts that are congruent, relevant, and applicable just to its own peculiar concerns.

4. The public sector account deals with fixed assets not depreciation, whilst the private sector account deals with fixed assets and depreciation included. In other words, the private sector -- working on matters of gaining profit -- also takes into account the gradual and possible permanent decrease of value in the stock. The public sector, on the other hand, does not concern itself with this matter.

In short, the exercise of accountability…...

First Flanagan offers four hypotheses: one, changes in the structure of the American economy "favor nonunion over union employment"; two, union organization is less intense than it was; three, workers' interest in general has tapered off with reference to unions; and four, management vigorously opposes unions in many instances (Flanagan, 2005, p. 33). Adding to that list, Flanagan asserts that many companies have adopted "human resource management policies" that are similar to what unions have demanded in the past and this results in "diminished demand for unionization" (Flanagan, 34). In other words, if a company is keeping its workers happy and satisfied with progressive policies and sharing the profits, the need for a union in a progressive company is greatly reduced.

Those rating the interviews were black and white individuals and findings state that: "the black raters rated the black candidates higher than the white and vice versa." (Ibid) Conclusions state that this demonstrated the potential of "institutionalized racism" in interviewing. DeGroot and Motowidlo (1999) state findings that "the unconscious influence what would, objectively be evident as irrelevant factors was found in a "positive relationship between a number of aspects of interviewee's voice quality, such as pitch and rate of speech" in the ratings of the interviewers.

Purchasing, Procurement and Supply Chain Management. Explain if these processes are the same or different in the civilian and the government sector?
In the capitalist system, the profit motive is when an individual or organization is providing specific products and services to meet the demands of customers. During these situations, they will decide where there are unaddressed needs and focusing on meeting them. They are receiving the added profits they realize from these actions (Bell 2014). To achieve these larger objectives they will allocate resources and personnel where they can be the most efficient. This is when they will utilize purchasing, procurement and supply chain management to give them a strategic advantage. They are different between the civilian and governmental sectors, as one is a for profit entity and the other is designed to meet the needs of the public. This means that there is less of an emphasis on…...

organization is derived from the preparedness cycle developed by the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and utilized by the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other disaster response / emergency preparedness organizations. A primary advantage of using this proven model is that it provides a consistently implemented and commonly understood approach to disaster preparedness. The preparedness cycle is a continuously renewing series of integrated components that enable the a state of preparedness to be achieved and maintained, and includes the following: Planning, organizing, training, equipping, exercising, evaluating, and taking corrective action ("Preparedness," 2014). The components of the NIMS preparedness cycle are shown below.

Healthcare costs have risen astronomically over the past two decades and this has resulted in the role of accounting in the health care industry undergoing change. It is reported that the "escalation in medical costs has been the number one issue in health care for almost three decades. The Government and third party players have attempted to reduce the cost of health care by either paying a fixed fee for a procedure or a pre-approved annual budget based on a defined patient mix and census projection." (Seetharaman, aj, and Saravanan, 2010, p. 1) According to the American Medical Association, "inefficiencies in health care delivery add cost and detract value from the health care system."

Practicum Synthesis
Describe how health care is organized and financed, including the implications of business principles, such as patient and systems cost factor while examining the roles and responsibilities of regulatory agencies and their effect on patient care, workplace safety, and the scope of practice.

egardless of the country or situation, healthcare is generally some sort of blend of public and private sourcing and personnel. Depending on who is asking or answering the question, one or both can be seen as a pariah and one or both can be seen as saint. Publicly funded healthcare is financed by taxpayer dollars in large part (if not entirely) and thus is subject to oversight and regulation on a level that is much higher than in the private sector. Even so, government agencies and groups are often seen as being inept and lumbering and funding cuts and mismanagement are often seen as issues to be…...

History of UBS Organization
UBS is a publicly company incorporated in Switzerland that operates in the global banking and financial services sector. While the organization's principal offices were initially in Zurich, it is currently co-headquartered in Zurich and Basel. This public company was initially founded as Union Bank of Switzerland in 1856 i.e. more than 150 years ago. Following the company's merger with Swiss Bank Corporation in 1998, UBS stopped being a figurative abbreviation of the company. In essence, UBS is no longer considered as the firm's representational abbreviation but as a stand-alone name for this organization. Since its inception, the company has experienced tremendous growth and profitability across all its operations largely because of strategic business policies and practices including mergers and acquisitions like the 1998 merger with Swiss Bank Corporation.

The profitability and success of this company has also been supported by its increased expansion to new regions across the…...

It is an equivalent of the European Human ights Convention, which deals with political and civil freedoms. It guards a wide range of day-to-day freedoms of human beings that have to do with education, housing, social welfare and protection, employment and health. The Charter is particularly focused on protecting minority people like children, the disabled, the aged as well as migrants. The Charter emphasizes on the granting of the freedoms stated above, free from discrimination. The Charter is the only Pan-European legal instrument that has the power to give such complete and extensive social rights protection. It is also used as reference in the laws of the EU. In fact, the Fundamental ights Charter of the EU came up with many social…...

Private Finance
The private financing initiatives

When the Private Finance Initiative was launched in 1992, it was seen as a mechanism to achieve extra public-sector investment by bringing in private finance for capital projects as well as a means to improve the public procurement process that was routinely criticized for poor project management and construction cost overruns. PFIs cut across a range of public services, including hospitals, prisons, public transport, roads, and schools. Each PFI depended on the public-sector purchaser to specify the outputs or outcomes it hoped to achieve, and put private-sector capital at risk for the delivery of those outputs or outcomes. By relaxing the emphasis on input specification, PFIs sought to mobilize innovation and optimize whole-life costs and quality to meet the public requirements. The financing mechanism served to reinforce the long-term nature of the relationship by linking payments to the achievement of outputs over the life of the…...

Private Security Trends and Movements Private security plays such a significant role in the efforts of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that the DHS published in 2010 a Private Sector Resources Catalog that “centralizes access to all DHS resources targeted for the private sector including small and large businesses, academia, trade associations, and other non-governmental organizations” (DHS, 2018). One example of a private security firm within the catalog is TRIPwire Community Gateway (TWCG)—“a web portal designed specifically for the nation’s CIKR owners, operators, and private security personnel.” The TWCG serves as a portal for private security groups to give analysis of threats, reports, and planning phases, helping private sector players working with the DHS the opportunity to plan for and detect potential terror threats.
The trends in collaborating the efforts and partnerships of private security with the DHS are growing, too. As the U.S. Department of Justice (2005) has noted, engaging…...

These devices can help to ensure customer violence is limited. Additionally, by investing in interpersonal training and dispute resolution courses for employees, companies can help to control coworker violence. Furthermore, the use of EAP (Employee Assistance Programs) for frustrated workers can help to provide some outlet for frustrations, further eliminating the possible problems (Hagan, 2004). Through polite, direct, proper communication, most acts of interpersonal workplace violence can be avoided.

Private military companies

Today's society is more challenging and dynamic than it has ever been. And this trend is manifested within the military sector as well. Here, the employees in the division have to be better motivated in order to risk their lives and this motivation has to be complex, and include both financial and non-financial incentives. While the major non-financial incentive would be the sense of fighting to protect one's country, the financial incentive has to be substantial and significantly larger than that of any other category of employees.

The modern day army then integrates technologic developments to improve the nature and outcome of its operations. It as such strives to answer the more and more complex demands of the contemporaneous society and, in doing so,…...

Proponents: Argue that Western aid is essential for improving healthcare outcomes in Africa, providing funding, resources, and expertise.
Opponents: Contend that Western aid can be harmful, creating dependency, undermining local health systems, and promoting unsustainable practices.

Topic 2: Universal Health Coverage vs. Targeted Interventions

Proponents: Advocate for universal health coverage, arguing that it ensures equitable access to healthcare for all and reduces financial burdens.
Opponents: Suggest that targeted interventions, such as specific disease control programs, are more cost-effective and efficient in resource-constrained settings.
