Using a computer in business and impact on staff

Using a computer in business is really an efficent and accurate way.

Once we use computer in our business, everything like money, staff control etc…can did it automate, just done by the computer, and I am sure that the mistake must be less than doing by staff.

And you also will save time by doing it, for example, if you need to count the money that you earn today, you may do it wrong and slow if you count by an calculator, by if you have a system and just simply type in the information, it will finish in not more than one minute.

And you can employ less staff because the computer will replace some of the staffs, it will lower the cost on employing people. Once your productivity is higher and there are less cost, then you profit must increase.

Although there maybe people who loose their job, but when there are more product that need to sold out, then there will be a job for sales, it will just like a circle. So it doesn't mean that it will be more people unemployed if business using a computer.

TQM improve management and profit

Total Quality Management (TQM) means the whole workforce has to be committed to quality improvements. The idea is to build quality into every department and not let quality get squeezed out.

With TQM, every employee has to try to satisfy customers- and everybody that they work for must be thought if as a customer, even fellow employees. So both external customers within the business, must receive a quality service.

Once the quality improve, they will be less cost because company don’t need to refund, and also even they use high quality, but it can keep some customers and they will come back to buy the product, it will increase sells, and so there will be more profit.

Japaness Management

Japaness Management inculde:

-Just in Time (JIT)
-Total quality management (TQM)
-Circle Production
-Kaizen (Continous improvement)
-Ouchi
-Lean Production

An aspect of Japanese management is the company union, which most regular company employees are obliged to join. The workers do not have separate skill identification outside of the company. Despite federations of unions at the national level, the union does not exist as an entity separate from, or with an adversarial relationship to, the company. The linking of the company with the worker puts severe limits on independent union action, and the worker does not wish to harm the economic wellbeing of the company. Strikes are rare and usually brief.

Japanese managerial style and decision making in large companies emphasizes the flow of information and initiative from the bottom up, making top management a facilitator rather than the source of authority, while middle management is both the impetus for and the shaper of policy. Consensus is stressed as a way of arriving at decisions, and close attention is paid to workers' well-being. Rather than serve as an important decision maker, the ranking officer of a company has the responsibility of maintaining harmony so that employees can work together. A Japanese chief executive officer is a consensus builder.

EF vedio

This is the EF promtion vedio. It promote EF Oxford.
If I were one of the parents that who wanted my children studying in EF Oxford, I think I will be attracted by the beautiful view around Oxford, the environment in Oxford is really good, the people are nice here, many students studying in Oxford, so it is good for study, there are many people and students from different countries etc…and when the agent promote them to this school, they will just mention about the good things in the school, how good is the school, the reputation, an concentrate study because it is taught in a small group, you can exchange the information of your home country to other students and learn more different culture.

But is that all true? I don’t think so. Maybe there were really a good environment in Oxford, but I don’t think so in EF, because they just show the city centre of Oxford. It should be the greatest place. But on the way to our school, we must pass through Pullens Lane, and the road no one will know that how dirty the road is, how narrow the road will be once you pass through with a car, how muddy it is when it is raining, and also if you are staying in the residence, once you got back late, how dark and dangerous will the road be. People just watch the video didn’t know any about this.

A promotion video must show all the best things to their customers, they will like to let them think that they are providing a really good services or product to you and let you to buy or join it. But before you make your decision, you must think clearly that will it all be true?

K9 Kalmer Dog Quieter

I hate and afraid of dog so much, but unfortunately in Hong Kong my neighbor own a dog, even though it is just a little puppy, it’s still looks terrible for me. Alothoug it’s just only a little toy poodle, but when it barks, it’s really noisy. So I think I can introduce or buy them this dog quieter for their little dog.

This dog quieter is an irresistible, proprietary composition of music, which makes the dog hear but it’s inaudible to humans. The melody will lure attention away from anxiety producing stimuli and result in a dog’s version of tranquility.

The K9 Kalmer is completely pain free. It will reduce needless barking without painful shock, sprays, or sound. The K9 Kalmer works on your dog, or your neighbor's dog. The melody has a 100 yard range and travels through fences and over walls.

I think it’s really a good idea, because in Hong Kong, many buildings don’t allow to have any pets, but people still bring them in in secrete, but even they bring them in quietly, every dog will bark at some times, they can control it or lower their volume, so if they buy it, it may be useful. And also when people were sleeping at night, but your dog are still barking, there must be complain, but once they bark, you just get out this dog quieter, they will just simply stop barking.

But still, I think even it say it’s completely pain free, but when you use this to your dog, it will just hurt it in some way, just like stop them to bark, every dogs need to bark, if people just control they bark, it’s just the same as your mother stop you shouting and talking, it’s a bit unfair to them I think.

'Looj' Remote Control Roof Gutter Cleaning Robot

The romote control Looj robot attempts to make gutter clearning-a necessary chore- safer, faster and less hassle.

The world is improving day by day, and everyday they will be some new technology invented. This time there is a new things like irobot, it helps you to clearn you house.
No one like your house to be messy, but do you really have time to clean it everyday? What if all your house memeber need to go to work or to school, who will do the cleaning?
So this maybe help a lot!
It is an electronic clearn, it can clearn all over your house by just controlling the remote, it will follow you order to do their work, help you to clearn your house, make it to be tidy.

But there are also disadvantage, I think it may help you to clearn, but not make sure that clearn every corner, because it it round and can't go insdie a little corner.

So even you buy it, you still need to clearn some place by yourself. But keeping your house clean and comfortable is your own responsibilty.

'Clocky' Evasive Alarm Clock

'Clocky, a fiendish, wheel-foored alarm clock, sounds off and then scurries around your room so you have to wake up, get out of bed, find him, turn the alarm off and then kill him.'

This is a alarm that make sure the people who can't wake up every morning to work or to school. It design the alarm which are on wheels. It can move everywhere or even jump.
The patented alarm clock that jumps 3 feet from your night stand and runs away beeping to get you up. I think it was a really really good invention for the people that who can hardly get up in the morning. Because even you are awake by the lound sound, you still need to find out the alarm and then you also need to catch it, when you are catching it, it can make sure that you are awake, because you may need to jump or chase it, it helps you to do exercise in the morning too !

But it was include in the high technology machine, I though it should cost much, but the alarm just sold in 59 pounds, and it have different colours to choose.

And I am sure that many people will love the design and buy it because it is really useful.

Advertisment.

If EF wants to recruit staff for a-level, I think they will find the staff for ICT, BUSINESS STUDIES, ECONOMICS, MATHS, ACCOUNTING, PHYSIS, CHEMISTRY and BIOLOGY teacher. These are the main subjects in our a-level course.

I think the advertisement can high light the main point that there are not more than 10 students in a class, the teacher who come to interview may teach in a state school before, so it may new to them. Now we are starting a new syllabus, and maybe some experience teacher will be the first choice for EF. And also I think because it is an international school, so it may recruit some international teachers.

And also can mention about the environment in our school. There are international students, and you may know about different country’s culture etc… and widen your eye sight.And in EF, we don’t just have a-level course, it also have English course, so once the teacher and not happy and satisfy in their job, they may think about to change to teach the language students. It maybe a good opportunity.

But I think working in EF may be a good choice, because the teacher doesn’t have much pressure at all.
