Abstract
The paper's ethics analysis shows how Mr. Anderson's ethical perspective is very results oriented and demands that the appearance of ethical standards and decision-making be substantiated by actual ethical conduct. The paper maintains that by utilizing the full arsenal of ethical training such as ethics awareness inventory analyses, ethics can be elevated to a business level competency that should influence business strategy.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The results of the ethical awareness inventory analysis indicate that I view ethics more project-oriented rather than process-oriented (Anderson, 2006). That is, while many others may debate the nature and character of ethics and the mechanism that goes into defining them, I view ethics as being largely results oriented or based on the outcome of actions regardless of the ethical debate antedating any action. According to the results, I am most concerned about achieving the greatest good for the greatest number of individuals possible. Yet, these results reveal a considerable amount of friction regarding my ethical perspective."

From the Paper
"Some refer to the process of measuring awareness as an information audit (Dobson, 2001). This audit determines where information comes from in an organization, where it goes, how it is used, who manages and shares it and who may process information (Dobson, 2001). An information awareness or audit should be customized to an organization and focus on "awareness, relevance, usability and unmet needs" with respect to business information systems (Dobson, 2001). An organization may also need to assess how information moves within the organization (Dobson, 2001)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the four factors of production are land, labor, capital, and enterprise. The author points out that the Periodic Inventory System is a physical count inventory, usually made at the end of the accounting period, which does not maintain a detailed record of the actual inventory kept during the accounting period. The paper stresses that persons in charge of controlling the inventories in a business must follow certain steps and perform an accurate inventory control in order to avoid high costs due to overstocking matters.

Phonological Awareness and Reading, 2005.
A discussion of how phonological awareness affects reading and how one can teach phonological awareness skills.
920 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 32.95
»

Abstract
This paper discusses phonological awareness. It looks at what phonological awareness is, how it is formed, and what to do if deficits are shown. The problems that occur when there are deficits in phonological awareness are also discussed and ideas for intervention are provided.
From the Paper
"Since phonological awareness develops over time, children must be given adequate support to enhance the skill that they are learning at a given time. This is not to say that children can only gain knowledge of one aspect of phonological awareness at a time, but only that skills should be fostered as they develop instead of just pushing the child immediately on to the next skill. Phonological awareness should not be expected to adhere to a strict stage theory of development; "children refine phonological awareness skills they have acquired while they are learning new phonological skills" (Anthony & Francis, 2005, p. 256)."

From the Paper
"Costs associated with inventory make up one of the most critical cost areas within an organization. Whether the company manufactures goods or sells finished products, inventory carrying costs and their component parts can represent a significant portion of the company's cost structure. In addition, having the wrong amount of inventory on hand can result in severe difficulties. Having too much inventory on hand means that extra warehouse space is needed in addition to the costs associated with the inventory itself. In a manufacturing environment, having too little inventory for input goods means that production slows down, or is even halted. In both manufacturing and retail environments, not having enough inventory on hand to meet consumer demand results in lost sales, and lower revenue than would otherwise be realize ... "

Inventory Management, 2002.
A study into what makes for successful inventory management in a business.
1,640 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 12 sources, MLA, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper defines inventory as all goods and materials used in production and distribution including raw materials, component parts, sub-assemblies, finished goods, and the various products and supplies required in the production and distribution process. The author of the paper shows that Inventory can be a liability as well as an asset: excessive, finished (goods) inventory requires larger warehouses and that many times this is the first indication of bad decisions in the production and process stages. The paper shows that improving product-availability and reducing overall working capital investments, without jeopardizing the company performance is a tightrope that most inventory managers have to walk. The paper uses Toyota car manufacturers as an example of successful inventory management.
From the Paper
"Inventory personnel have to constantly track market conditions and price trends. Software has to be designed to input these trends to determine the inventory requirements and the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) (Business Open Learning Archive, online). The inventory manager has also to be in constant contact with the production and the sales department, in order to ensure that stock outs at the sales end do not occur as a result of material shortage at the production end. Computerized systems have helped simplify the purchasing system and have help improve the efficiency of data recording."

Phonological Awareness, 2007.
An analysis of the value of phonological and phonemic awareness to teaching reading to children.
1,614 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the effects on children's developmental progress when they are given systematic explicit instruction in phonemic awareness. It discusses the ways in which phonological awareness and phonemic awareness, including how to teach and assess them, has made an extremely valuable contribution to understanding how to teach reading to all children, including children with learning disabilities or delays in early reading.
From the Paper
"Other findings reveal that opportunities to play with language result in the development of phonemic awareness (Wasik 2001). In one 1987 study, young children who were knowledgeable about nursery rhymes and who had opportunities to manipulate sound in language also had well-developed phonemic awareness (Wasik 2001). Nursery rhymes are a natural way to expose children to words that sound the same, and research suggests that by learning rhymes, poems, and jingles, children develop awareness of sounds in words (Wasik 2001). Therefore, natural play with language can encourage children to attend to the sounds that words make (Wasik 2001). Research demonstrates that teaching phonemic awareness to 1st and 2nd graders who have had difficulty reading resulted in significant improvements in their ability to read and spell words, thus it is important for adult to create opportunities for children to learn phonemic awareness (Wasik 2001)."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that cases like those of Terri Shiavo and Robert Kenneth Durksen put the moral quandaries regarding comatose victims to the forefront of the public's mind. The writer notes that only by fully understanding the condition, and answering questions such as whether or not there is awareness in comatose patients, can the public make informed decisions, when sensitive situations occur. This paper provides an overview of the comatose condition, followed by a review of literature regarding awareness in comatose patients. The writer then presents conclusions drawn from this information, in hopes of shedding further light on such a delicate topic.
Outline:
Introduction
Comatose Overview
Literature Review Regarding Comas and Coma Awareness
Analysis of Findings
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The medical term comatose is derived from the Greek word koma, meaning a deep sleep. A comatose patient is in a deep state of unconsciousness that is characterized by the loss of reactivity to external stimuli and absence of spontaneous nervous activity, and cannot be awakened. Coma victims have usually experienced injury or disease of the cerebrum."
"The origin of the injury affects the different patterns of coma. Losses of consciousness for short durations may be caused by concussions, whereas the lack of oxygen, or anoxia, may lead to a coma that lasts for several weeks or is fatal. Sudden loss of consciousness in some patients may be caused by a stroke, which is a rupture or blockage of the vessels that supply blood to the brain."

Abstract
The paper looks closely at issues surrounding inventory management and examines the costs and benefits associated with this type of inventory control. The writer then makes a strong claim that the company JIT can be the most cost-efficient and highly effective way for a company to accomplish the complicated task of inventory management, though the use of the ever-growing electronic commerce.
From the Paper
"Reduction of inventories is the main reason that companies have sought alternative inventory management methods. The use of smaller batches leads to the need for less inventory at any particular point in the production process. Cash flow is improved due to less capital investment in inventory. Less inventory on hand leads to savings in other areas as well, such as smaller space requirements, decreased materials handling costs, decreased record keeping costs, decreased insurance and tax obligations, and less scrap and obsolescence (Larson, 1998, p. 44)."

Developing Awareness, 2007.
An analysis of the factors that contribute to developing awareness of the world around oneself.
911 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 32.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the ideal of being able to develop awareness of the world around oneself. It goes into detail about the factors that make this awareness possible. It discusses a willingness to subject oneself to new ideals and release internal beliefs about what it means to be conscious or aware. It looks into the need to forgo one's reliance on factual information and instead come to recognize the symbolism apparent in every day activity. Finally, the paper explores how one's own perceptions are biased and often rely on factual or idealized versions of what is real, versus what is perhaps, unreal.
From the Paper
"Nabokov (2000) interestingly asserts that "common sense" reveals that we exist and reminds us of our existence, but is only a "brief crack of light between two extremities of darkness." Like Keller he asserts that true consciousness does not arise from mere experiences or perceptions of experiences alone. The author suggests that the collective conscious is often directed by rigid rules of society, and one have but reach out and tap into their own self and identity to awaken their conscious and perhaps begin to capture a glimmer of true awakening. Inner knowledge comes from perception that is not tainted by memory but rather open to new revelations that should not result from reflexive acts but rather new experiences. This is much as Keller would suggest, that mankind could raise his awareness or conscious if only he stopped relying on the obvious and instead takes a moment to explore that which is not obvious or that which is unusual and new."

The Modern Inventory Control Process, 2002.
Examines what constitutes a contemporary inventory control process in the industrial world.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Specialization, standardization, and centralization characterize the present industrial paradigm. These situations also exist alongside other changes such as downsizing, organizational restructuring and budget cuts. Despite the upheaval and uncertainty that these situations bring, they force an organization to sit back and reevaluate the significance of the ramifications of the culture, customs and regulations, i.e., it forces the company to change. The paper shows that with markets getting smaller and more interlinked, many companies choose to acquire companies that they feel will help them expand and/or help gain capital for future expansion. This strategy ensures that these companies have a larger market bargaining power and clientele for their products. The paper shows, however, that many of these organizations are fighting a losing battle with their inventory, work in progress and raw material supplies. The paper also looks at the future of inventory management.
From the Paper
"Plant operations get more complicated by issues such as manufacturing and operational lead times, replenishment cycles, unexpected surges in demand of a product, safety stock requirements for critical part, review frequency and the failure of establishing realistic target service levels. James D. Tarr, in the article ?Seven Ways To Reduce Your Inventory,? discusses some general operating practices that can be followed by all managers and companies to help keep inventory cost down (Tarr, 2001). He advocates that accurate data information is required and screening out erratic and unreliable vendors is also important for implementing a good inventory program. An important reality check should also be made with regards to realistic sales rather that on the inflated projections made by the sales department."

This analysis will determine what method is best in reducing inventory shortage at 7-Eleven. Modifications and changes will be made along the way as needed. The research team will record and log all data in a journal and make necessary changes. The team will also monitor the pilot stores and record what effect the revised training program is having on inventory loss. This data will be gathered, analyzed, and presented in graphs and charts to the Market Manager, and Division Vice President. The proof of this plans success will be in the reduction of not only inventory shortage, but also decreased labor dollars, and an overall reduction in turnover. This training program will be a great success."

Abstract
This paper begins by defining supply chain and operations managements as an essential component to the smooth running of any operation or business. It then looks at the changing nature of supply chain management and how the practice is to move to Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) method. VMI refers to a relatively new supply chain management method in which consuming party or buyer?s inventory is maintained and monitored by the supplier. It explains how VMI works and its benefits for suppliers and buyers. The paper concludes by analyzing the implementation challenges of VMI.
From the Paper
"Supply chain management is a major concerned of all large and small firms in today?s highly unpredictable business environment. While the buyers or distributors are worried about timely deliveries of products and efficiency of products, manufacturers are more concerned about how their customers judge demand and place orders. This is because unpredictable changes in demand can force the customers to place orders for products whose production level has not yet been increased. For this reason, supply chain management has become a major issue."
