ntroduction
Information has become a vital asset in the current business market and the availability of information could easily determine a profit or loss for a firm. People with valuable knowledge leave organizations due to numerous reasons and the valuable information they own are often lost with them, organizations looked at means to capture and maintain this information within their respective organizations, this is known as Knowledge Transfer. Knowledge Transfer is the process of replicating the expertise, wisdom and tacit knowledge of professionals into the heads of their coworkers or important individuals [1].
In this report actual names and individuals references will not be used in order to preserve the privacy of the organization and its stakeholders. Genesis (Pvt) Ltd is renowned software and consultancy firm in Sri Lanka with over 5 years of experience managing clients from different industries. Genesis partnered with MobiApp; a product company that specializes in cross platform mobile application development, to leverage the emerging mobile market and to develop its own mobile presence in the current competitive market. During the initial phase of the project Genesis deployed a two member team composed of a technical lead, Bob, and a junior software engineer, Jack, to be trained on the MobiApp product. After few sessions MobiApp wanted to evaluate the two members by developing a simply mobile application using their product and provided ample time to get used to tool. Towards the end of the project the Jack left the Genesis for personal reasons but this hardly raised any concern since most of the work was still carried out by the technical lead, Bob. Genesis expanded the team by introducing two more junior engineers and one senior engineer, David. The project was completed within budget and MobiApp felt the Genesis team is competent enough to handle projects from their customers which would essentially follow an offshoring model.

    Celia was the name of a young female slave, who came to work for a prominent Missouri family called the Newsoms. Robert Newsom, a plantation owner in Callaway, Missouri, purchased her at age 14. Newsom was recently widowed and it seems he purchased Celia, looking for sex. He started raping her after being brought back to the farm. From then on, Newsom "visited" Celia often in a cabin he provided for her which was very close to the main household. Over the years, Celia had two children with Newsom, which he also considered "his property". The interesting thing about Celia’s story is that it recounts a tale of social strife and clearly indicates the fact that slaves were playing with a heavily stacked deck in relation to their Caucasian opposites.…

    Learning Objectives: Students should be able to ... • Define evolution, fitness, and adaptation using the biological definitions. • Describe the nature of the evidence regarding (1) whether species change through time and (2) whether they are related by common ancestry. • Assess whether Darwin's four postulates are true in any given example, explain to a friend why evolution must occur if all four are true, and explain whether evolution will occur if any of the four are not true. • Identify common misconceptions about evolution, and give examples to illustrate why they are not true. (For example: Is evolution progressive? Do animals do things "for the good of the species"? Does evolution result in perfection?) Lecture Outline • Evolution is one of the best-supported and most important theories in the history of science. • Evolution is one of the five attributes of life. • Evolution has both a pattern and a process. I. The Evolution of Evolutionary Thought A. Plato and typological thinking 1. Plato saw species as unchanging, perfect "types" created by God. 2. Plato thought individual variation was an unimportant deviation from the true "type." B. Aristotle and the great chain of being (scale of nature) 1. Aristotle, like Plato, thought species were unchanging types. 2. Aristotle thought species could be organized into a sequence or ladder of increasing complexity, with humans at the top. (Fig. 24.1) C. Lamarck and the idea of evolution as change through time 1. Lamarck noticed that organisms changed over time. 2. Lamarck thought animals progressed over time from "lower" to "higher" forms (like Aristotle's ladder) via inheritance of acquired characteristics. D. Darwin and Wallace and evolution by natural selection 1. Species change over time, but they do not "progress." 2. A species does not have a single true "type." 3. Individual variation is important; variation is what drives…

    Looking externally, some of the biggest threats for Delta Airlines include the September 11th terrorist attack and the sluggish worldwide economy. Both the state of the economy as well as the September 11th terrorist attack made downsizing inevitable for Delta. Unfortunately for Delta Airlines, this caused an unexpected loss of knowledge due to the 11,000 employees that left the company after they offered employees a favorable severance package. They have not only experienced a major catastrophe, Delta also has to deal with the loss of knowledge through a downsizing effort because of a struggling economy. Although these threats are major, Delta definitely worked around their obstacles to build a knowledge retention strategy that could improve their…

    No I do not think this practice should continue. This is something that is not safe for kids so young, kids around this age should be in school learning new things making new friends having little study groups having sleep overs they should not be thinking about making money if so not by working in a field that will make you sick to your stomach. No child should feel as if that’s the way a real job will be because it’s not the way that it will feel like. It’s bad enough young kids are already out here doing drugs not going to school to make it better they want to work a child until she passes out or not able to be the same as they were before they started working “I got heat exhaustion—vomiting, feel like my stomach was trying to come out of my body.” She said. “They would bring me water and saltine crackers to settle my stomach until I got better and then back to work.” (Kids deal with)If I was feeling this way I would tell the person I’m working for have a good life but I may no longer work for you anymore. Your business is making me sick to my stomach and all you want me to do is work, work, work and I get nothing from it but sickness and no sympathy from anyone. Kids shouldn’t even be worried about money they don’t have bills to pay things to do their main focus should be school and homework. “But that was just the beginning. The adults she worked with were mean to her, she says, and when she was 14 she was sexually harassed.” (Kids deal with) you shouldn’t feel uncomfortable where you are at you shouldn’t let anyone touch you and let them get away with that. That should be another reason why I think this practice should not continue because it is not safe for a child.…
