Role of information technology
An organization's ability to provide perfect service at customer moment of value depends on three things:
Knowing the time at which the customer's moment of value occurs.
Knowing the location where the customer's moment of value occurs.
Knowing the form in which the customer's moment of value occurs.
All these can be summed up easily- it's having knowledge, and knowledge comes from having information. Gaining knowledge through information is the role of IT in today's information based business.

Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale are similar in the way that their tales are each addressed to various audiences and the significance of the tales to each of these audiences is shaped by the conditions under which they receive the tale. In a broader sense, the various audiences can be classified into one of two categories. The first of these we will call the immediate audience and it consists of the fictional audience that lives within the same space and time as the storyteller. The second category we will call the audience at large and it includes the contemporary audience of the authors as well as the modern day readers. Each set of work has three types of audience that falls into one of these categories. Dynamically, the three audiences are structured in such a way that they appear to be layered. This layering allows for one group of audience to sometimes shape and/or challenge the expectations of another audience. The complexity of how the role of the audience is explored by both The Canterbury Tales and The Handmaid’s Tale is what allows for the meaning of each tale to expand beyond the narrative.

The ability to manage information plays a critical role in developing a firm’s capabilities in customer relationship management, process management and performance management (Mithas, 2011).
It is suggested that as part of human nature, individuals naturally seek to find the negative in any situation (Walter, 2013). This underlying focus is present in nearly every aspect of day-to-day living including top stories on the news, performance on an exam, and even in professional lives when something doesn’t go perfectly according to plan (Walter, 2013). Furthermore, Walter suggests that it is also within human nature to want to fix things. When we couple the desire to fix and the inherent ability to identify the negative it is a dangerous combination especially when evaluating people as individuals (Walter, 2013). Strength based leadership is an approach that stops trying to fix employees, rather harness their individual passion or strengths in an attempt that can empower the individual and ultimately be successful and fulfilled on an individual and company level (Walter, 2013). This paper will explore how strength based leadership has impacted the nursing profession and ultimately is used in promoting better health outcomes.
Regulation placed upon the healthcare system only seek to improve safety and security of the patients we care for. The enactment of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) and the enactment of Meaningful Use Act the United States government has set strict regulations on the security of health information and has allotted for stricter penalties for non-compliance. The advancement of electronic health record (EHR) systems has brought greater fluidity and compliance with healthcare but has also brought greater security risk of protected information.

When one sees the Notre Dame de Paris cathedral in person or in pictures they are likely to be awestruck. The twin towers of the western façade rise high into the sky, seemingly in an attempt to scrape heaven. Spiky arches seem to grow out of the sides and claw at the ground. Inside it is cavernous with colored light filtering in through the large, intricate stained glass windows. All of these physical qualities make Notre Dame a prime example of Gothic architecture. It does not stand alone in that distinction. One is also likely to see several hundred examples of this style on varying scales throughout Europe. Because, despite its humble origins, Gothic architecture became the standard for religious buildings in the early 11th

The quality of management in an organization determines how well a company will do. According to Taylor, Fayol, Weber and other classical theorists, there is a single best way for organization to be structured. The challenge to that idea is known as the contingency theory, which states that there is no one best way to organize your structure. I believe that the contingency theory is correct, but that in some cases, different approaches work better than others. In this paper I will be discussing three important management functions that I believe if implemented, will help lead to having a very successful organization. I will also be comparing them to three other ideas that are not quite as effective. The three

Table 1 will further provide an explanation to the five critical aspects of service quality as outlined by Sureshchandra et al (2002).
In order for the service employee to deliver on the customer’s expectations, the company (or management) must provide the necessary resources to fulfill the duties of the job. The success of the firm is also supported by the internal customers, also known as employees, and the satisfaction of these employees can influence the service encounters with external customers (Gremler, Bitner & Evans, 1994). It is imperative that management of the company delivers to the expectations of the employees in order to fulfill business goals and objectives.
