The mission statement of the Kerry Group is their written declaration of their core purpose and primary objectives that normally remain unchanged over time. It clearly states what market will be served and communicates the direction of the entire organisation. The Kerry Group mission statement can be most closely aligned to the Resource Based View (RBV). I will illustrate this by selecting three key elements in the Mission Statement. Secondly I will draft a new HR mission statement, the…

Engagement by “The Project” Competition The project competition was specifically meant to bring together students and give them real life aspects to deal with for them to realize what it really is and learn from the same. Everyone who was involved had something to bring forward and an experience to learn something to take back with them. It was mainly to get them to make mistakes that were associated with the day to day running of specific details of the given topics and interacting with the…

TERMES Project Graduate students at Harvard have an interesting approach to incorporating robotics in the construction industry. Many scientists have always suggested looking at nature when trying to find elegant and effective solutions to problems present in our lives. One such problem is the necessity of an overseer with large-scale projects. These managers are a large cost to projects because of their expertise and skills. Their ability to direct precisely and solve problems on the fly makes…

The development in the construction industry has made engineers, architects and designers very creative and ambitious in building projects. The designs are becoming innovative and attractive. To achieve this, tremendous amount of weight placed was on materials leading to their inability to bear this significant weight. Consequently, to be able to achieve the structural design and strength engineers developed the truss. Trusses are web-shaped structures that are able to bear tremendous weight.…

Three Failure Factors: Why did the Nakaseke MCT project fail from an inclusiveness perspective? Priority of Implementing Agency was not Inclusiveness In initial development projects, where there is lack of experience, there was a large design and reality gap which in many cases failed to include the poor (Heeks 2008). Since the Nakaseke MCT project was an earlier form of telecentres, the same logic can be applied. In addition, the concept of inclusive growth was first introduced by Kakawani…

Training Management and Operation Anaconda: What Have We Learned? Operation Anaconda has been studied through various lenses about the inefficiencies and successes within this operation. Unfortunately, this operation is primarily known for the problems it encountered amongst the internal parties and the irreversible damage due to poor planning and coordination. With the advances in military technology and intelligence, it remains vital that training management is a top priority in the design,…

Change is defined as the act or instance of making or becoming different; as many of us know change does not suddenly occur, rather, it is a process that gradually unfolds overtime. (Horvath,T., Misra, K., Epner,A.K., and Cooper,G.M When a person is deciding to make a major change in their life they go through five stages that are described under the trans theoretical model of change. The model was created by James O. Prochaska and Carlo Di Clemente during the 1980’s. Prochaska and Di Clemente…

3. Qualitative parameters 3.1. Travel time One of the important factors of every trip is its duration. Trying to compare long-run trains and buses we should consider this factor as well. Due to the physical inclusion of the coaches in the traffic flow and limitation of speed to by 100 km/h they generally need more time than private cars to travel from point A to point B (Bundesministerium der Justiz und für Verbraucherschutz, 2013). On the other hand, trains do not have such limitation and on…

INTRODUCTION Projects are a combination of specific tasks that have a clearly defined beginning and end. It has limited resources and should be completed within an allocated time. Therefore, the restrictions of projects are usually never carried out again in the same manner, with the same resources, for the same reason. Projects are therefore classified as something that is unique and once-off. Furthermore, project managers and teams use project management methodologies which provide project…

According to the “Ariane 5 Flight 501 Failure: Report by the Inquiry Board”, the failure that caused the Ariane 5 was a design error, namely of an Operand Error. The report says, “The exception was detected, but inappropriately handled because the view had been taken that software should be considered correct until it is shown to be at fault” (Lions, 1996). This view manifested itself in the use of extant software from Ariane 4 that was used for Ariane 5 because, to simplify, it worked well for…
