Change Implementation Plan And Milestone Update - 1363 Words

Subject: Change implementation plan and milestone update As directed, purchase has been made of the data mining software. The package includes software, training, and support. Zoe Crystal was a great nominee to head this effort and has expressed enthusiasm to jump in and get started. I have some concerns for Joe Raven. When we had our discovery meeting, Joe expressed he should be the one to head this new directive. He said that his seven year seniority should make him the self-evident choice. I expressed to him that he was a critical partner, but his involvement and lead in the short term operation and maintenance (OM) cleaning chemical blitz could not afford loss of attention – driving toward profit in the remaining year’s quarters. This†¦show more content†¦We still have some who look to the past as the gold standard. They were fueled by the Governor’s video conference this week, where we heard that He was hoping for a quick return to a fossil fuel bright future. This is wishful thinking of a fossil fuel bas ed state executive – but they swallowed hook, line and sinker! Please review the change implementation plan at your earliest convenience, and we’ll jump on any changes. Thanks again for your insight. This data mining strategy promises growth in the short term, and solid projections for the future. And with the client integration, we are capturing their data directly, and even selling projected derivatives as a separate line of business – I never would have believed the response to be so favorable. Please see plan below. 2016 Sales Force Strategic Migration Plan: Purpose: To utilize new software purchased and commissioned for the extracting of data, in order to accurately forecast trends, and evaluate developed products, beneficial to our clients.

Huck Finn Uncovered in The Adventures of Huckaberry Finn...

How can a man make a decision if he does not approve of himself? A man can not make a decision about a major event if he does not first take of the major the decision of approving of himself. I believe that Huck had such a delay on making the right decision because he did not yet feel comfortable with himself. Huck changed from the being a boy to becoming a man. When Jim and Huck were on there way to Cairo this when Huck faced one of his first big roadblocks between what is right and what is wrong. Huck knew that helping a runaway slave to freedom was against the law.  ¨We neither of us could keep still. Every time he danced around (Jim) and says, ‘Dah’s Cairo!’ it went through me like a shot, and I thought if it was Cairo I recknoced I†¦show more content†¦When Huck is on the raft with Jim floating on the river all their problems seem to go away. Society can no longer bother them. There is no longer Black or White. It is just Jim and Huck.  ¨I hadn ’t had a bite to eat since yesterday, so Jim he got out some corn-dodgers and buttermilk, and pork and cabbage and greens—there ain’t nothing in the world so good when it’s cooked right—and whilst I eat my supper we talked and had a good time. . . .We said there warn’t no home like a raft, after all. Other places do seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don’t. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft ¨ (Pg.117). Huck starts to respect himself more. He begins to feel the sense of freedom and understands why Jim wants it so much. Huck comes to learn to approve of his decisions. Huck begins to mature and he separates himself from what society wants rather than what he wants.Later on in the story the Duke and Dauphin sell Jim back into slavery and Huck decides to write a letter to Miss Watson telling her what he has done and of Jims whereabouts. I took it up , and held it in my hand. I was a-trembling, because Iâ₠¬â„¢d got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: ‘All right then, I’ll go to hell’—and tore it up. It was awful thoughts and awful words, but they was said. And I let them stay said; and never thought no

Economics and Quantitative Analysis GDP

Questions: 1.Explain why real GDP might be an unreliable indicator of the standard of living.2. Why does unemployment arises and what makes some unemployment unavoidable?3.Consider the following statement: When the average level of prices of goods and services rises, the inflation rate rises? Do you agree or disagree? Explain.4.what is the aggregate demand (AD) curve and why does it slope downwards? Explain5. What is the long run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve and why is it vertical? Why does the short run aggregate supply curve slope upwards? Answers: 1. Real GDP is the measure of the total out produced within the domestic territory of a country within a year that is adjusted to the price changes due to inflation or deflation. An increasing real GDP indicates increased availability of goods and services in the economy and improved purchasing power of consumers. Thus, it is a good indicator of monetary aspect of living standard. However, it does not say anything about quality of life (Boyes and Melvin, 2015). The overall standard of living is not reflected by monetary measures only. Rather, it also reflects changes in living standards due to non-monetary aspects such as education, health, quality of life and goods and services consumed, and others. Therefore, multiple measures affect standard of living but are not considered while calculating real GDP. These measures include household production, unpaid work like taking care of child or elderly, mother taking case of household, volunteer work, community services, parallel economy that is usually hidden to avoid taxes and other regulatory requirements, leisure time, education standard of people, security, quality of environment, health and life expectancy, happiness and political freedom and justice (Boyes and Melvin, 2015). Therefore, rising real GDP does not project an increase in income of all the sections of society. Moreover, if real GDP is rising but health or education or environment quality is declining, then people are not leading good life. Hence, it can be said that real GDP is poor indicator of standard of living. 2. Unemployment can be defined as an occurrence of the uncertainty of work for a person, who is actively looking for the job but unable to find any job (Mctaggart, Findlay and Parkin, 2012). Apart from these people, many people who are not able to work because they are handicapped, disabled, retired, students and discouraged workers. The unemployment rate can be measured by dividing the number of unemployed person to total number of workforce available. The number of unemployed individuals has huge impact on the economic condition and national income of the nation. In the context of economic condition, widespread unemployment in nation can arise due to some reasons that include high growth of population, illiteracy, race system, reservation system and financial crises. Unemployment can be categorized in three different parts that includes Cyclical Unemployment, structural unemployment and frictional unemployment (Mctaggart, Findlay and Parkin, 2012). Cyclical unemployment can arise due to economic condition of the business that includes recession in economic condition. Further, structural unemployment occur due to technological changes in the business that shows that employees skills are obsolete. Frictional unemployment can occur when a person is looking for the job after completing the education, or leaves the job and looking for new job or retirement of the person from full time work. Unemployment is unavoidable due to changing organisational policies and use of different technologies that reduce labor supply, looking for new job for best position and retirement from the work. These factors show that unemployment is unavoidable. 3. When the price of goods and service increases the inflation rate rises. This statement shows the real causes of inflation. In the economy, inflation can be identified as changes in price of goods and service and it is projected as inflation rate (Cencini, 2012). Inflation rate is related with measurement of changes in the price of usually unpreserved goods and service. Inflation can be defined as the situation of frequently increasing price of commodities and actual factors of production. Inflation refers to various consequences that are related with increasing the price of goods and service but it cannot be considered as high price. Inflation rate can increase due to high cost of production because it provide product at high price and high level of demand encourage inflation because high consumption of product affect the price of product. Further, monetary system of the nation is the main cause of inflation. Inflation rate affect economic condition of the nation that includes GDP, FDI, consumption and demand levels. Inflation affects the level of production in the nation that includes supply of the material for production due to expectation of supplier to sell the product at high price to earn high profit and changes in transaction system. Further, inflation encourages speculations and black-marketing that have negative impact on national economy. Inflation also affects government policy, exchange rate, monitory policy and balance of payment in the nation. In the nation, inflation can be controlled by monetary policy that includes controlling the wage, monetary system of nation, increasing tax rate and saving (Taylor, 2011). 4. The aggregate demand curve represents the total quantity of goods and services demanded in the economy at various price levels. Downward sloping demand curve indicates the inverse relationship between the price level and quantity demand of real GDP (Veseth, 2014). This means that aggregate demand increases due to fall in price level. There are three reasons that cause aggregate demand curve to be downward slopping. As per wealth effect, AD curve is drawn under the assumption that supply of money is held constant by the government and the supply of money depicts the economys wealth. If there is rise in price level, wealth of economy declines and in turn reduces the purchasing power of an individual. Moreover, if price decrease purchasing power of money increase buyers become wealthier and capable to purchase more goods than before. As per interest-rate effect, if there is increase price level, the increase demand for fixed supply of money also causes the interest rate to rise. Due to this, spending of buyers that are sensitive to interest rate will decrease (Glanville and Glanville, 2011). In contrast to this, a lower price level reduces the rate of interest which in turn increases spending on investment. Net-export effect explains that if there is increase in price level , foreign made goods becomes cheaper which results in increased imports while the domestic goods becomes expensive for foreign buyers that results in decreased demand for exports. When import increases and export decreases this cause decrease in net exports. Moreover, lower price level shows inverse impact on net exports as compared to high price level. Figure: Aggregate Demand Curve 5. The long-run aggregate supply curve represents the relation between real production and price level for long run. It shows the supply of goods and service at the certain price for the long term. In the long-run, aggregate supply curve is vertical because the resources i.e. labour, technology and capital are assumed to be utilised at their optimal level. Additionally, in the long-run, it is assumed that full employment persists in the economy. Thus, supply of factors of production cannot be increased. If there is change in the price, there will be movement along the curve but quantity will remain the same (Boyes and Melvin, 2015). Moreover, any increase in factors of production will lead to outward shift in the supply curve but the slope of LRAS will remain vertical. Figure: long run aggregate supply curve (Boyes and Melvin, 2015) Short Run Aggregate Supply Curve: Short run aggregate supply curve represents the aggregate price level and has the slope that is upward rather than vertical. In economics, there are three theories that identify about upward slope of short run aggregate supply curve. It includes Sticky price theory, misperception theory, and sticky wage theory that identify about economic changes in the price and supply. Figure: Short run aggregate supply curve (Mankiw, 2014) In the short-run aggregate curve, supply has positive relation with price, which shows that if price level will increase, the supply will be increased. Similarly, if price level will decrease then supply will be decreased (Free, 2010). References Boyes, W. and Melvin, M. (2015) Economics, 10th edn. Boston: Cengage Learning. Cencini, A.
