Achieving 70% agreement levels in this round on all questions was difficult. Likewise, questions on transportation and supply management achieved 60% agreement levels, while 60% disagreement levels were achieved with questions on human resource management (HRM). However, the questions were to find out if HRM was not essential in the successful implementation and management of SCM in the oil industry. Therefore, the level of agreement was satisfactory in acknowledging the impact of HRM in sustaining effective supply chain management. Furthermore, 80% disagreement levels were observed on a particular question on inventory management in crude oil supply chains, with respondents disagreeing unanimously that you cannot have an effective supply chain without effective inventory management. Contention in findings was only observed with questions on crude oil logistics which examined the possibility of bottlenecks in the port process, for example when increased demand for crude oil occurs from China. Nonetheless, respondents were split in their feedback with 40% agreeing that increased demand will require operational contingencies in port transfer and crude oil despatch, while 40% disagreed that there will be no need to take precautions in regards to port management. In addition, the remaining 20% were undecided or did not want to comment. Furthermore, achieving the countries infrastructural economic and social goals in the Nigerian vision 2020 plan was not viewed by respondents to…

The two-sample t procedure is appropriate to use in this experiment in order to see if there is a difference in the two population means of stride length in the two different species, N. rattus and N. squamipes. This is because the boxplots appear to be roughly symmetrical, as well as, both normal quantile-quantile plots look roughly linear. Considering two-sample t-procedures are quite robust to violations of the normality assumption, the t-procedure will likely perform well in this…

Eating Disorders are a serious problem. One disorder people think of most often is Anorexia. Both males and females in the world are afraid of gaining weight. They become very controlling of the amount of food they will eat. The small food portions used to nourish the body cause it to go into the starvation mode and if left unchecked with lead to heart damage, stroke and death. Another example of an eating disorder is Bulimia. With this disorder the person is stuck in the middle of their desire…

The Lorenz curve is a graphical device used to represent distributional inequality of income (econweb). Econweb further defines Gini coefficient as a “numerical measure of inequality based on the Lorenz curve. Lorenz curve The Lorenz curve is arrived at by adding cumulative quantiles from lowest income to the highest that is, the lowest 20% plus the next 20% to arrive at the lowest 40%. Rittenberg and Tregathen further articulate,” Since the share of income receive by all the quintiles will…

million of about 11 million jobs went to those with at least a bachelor’s degree, while only 80,000 jobs went to those without higher education (Luhby, 2016). A child’s ability to receive a higher education and access social mobility depends strongly on the educational resources available to them. Leading up to primary education, a child’s private resources have a strong impact on their education. At the earliest ages, the difference of cognitive ability between high- and low- income…

to richer households (Yount and Carrera, 2006). This may be because poor people experience intense economic frustration, stress, and strain (Gelles, 1987), and this should influence domestic violence. More precisely, women are trapped in a cycle of violence. This study examines the effect of women's education, current age, age at first marriage, total children, husband’s extra-marital affairs and poverty on the odds of physical and psychological domestic violence among 10,070 women in Bhutan who…

Innovation matters because it's the process of inventing things that can be used as a good or service. With the changing economic environment, what matters to customers is changing.

There are things you must consider such as management, material, quantiles, colors, prices, the consumers and the competitors when inventing things. Organizational Change is the creative ideas of a company. Life is all about innovation and…

more. There are some positives that come with having OCD, but the negatives out weight the positives. There are many different controversies that are associated with OCD. Some may believe that this is a self-inflicted disorder and not really a physiological disorder (Grayson, 2003). Many may believe that someone builds up this habit and becomes basically obsessed with the idea of obsessive compulsive disorder (Wortmann, 2014). These authors conducted a study to show that “before treatment,…

Me: President Hrabowski, you state in your article “Colleges Prepare People for Life” that “students need strong counseling to identify the best possible options” (Hrabowski 261) for college. You also state “That type of counseling is critical, but it is time consuming and expensive for both colleges and high schools” (Hrabowski 261). How do you justify that with the…
