Impact of The Great War for Empire in Europe
The Great War for Empire was one of the most important factors in
shaping the economic and political futures for all of Europe in the
eighteenth century and for all time to come. In this essay I will discuss
the causes, the events, and finally the results of this important war,
which consisted of the War of Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War.
The War of the Austrian Succession began as King Frederick II gained
the throne to Prussia, and in less than a year ordered his troops to take
and occupy the large Austrian province of Silesia. The leader of Austria
was Maria Theresa; Although she was an inexperienced leader, she was
capable of arousing other groups (like the Magyars of Hungary) to help her
not re-take Silesia, but to maintain the Hapsburg dynasty as a major
political power. France was also one of these powers to fight, they did not
want a powerful army to emerge in Prussia and to ever become an strong
enemy (ironically, that's just what happens). The wealthy British
merchants pushed England to financially assist the Prussian aggressors, in
the hope of weakening France and winning other fights off-continent.
The causes which led up to the Seven Years' War, were very similar to
those just eight years previously. King Frederick invaded another province,
Saxony, and this triggered another alliance between Austria and France with
the goal to totally destroy Prussia. There was also a growing conflict
facing France and Great Britain that would continue to increase in
momentum. This war was the prelude to what American would call "The French
and Indian War" in which these two European countries would fight for land
in the Americas.
The events of the War of Austrian Succession, fortuitously for France,
worked out exactly as Great Britain planned it. The French resources of
war were divided between the Americas and the fight against Prussia. The
eight year war was a fight between the superior army and resources of Great
Britain and the strategic mastery of French generals, like Marshal Maurice
de Saxe, who led many successful battles. The war eventually ended in a
stalemate, with Austria not regaining Silesia, but it definitely proven
itself able to fend off any other battles from Prussia--thanks to Great
Britain's help. The war brought to a peace by the Treaty of Aix-la-
Chapelle.
In the Seven Years' War, the issues was simply the survival of Prussia,
Ford’s political life began in 1917 when he announced his intention to seek election as a senator for the state of Michigan. Once his campaign began, the state’s majority appeared to favor Ford. This voter popularity was gained largely after Ford revealed his life story - the son of a simple farmer; he overcame many obstacles rising to the status of a multimillionaire business person and potential Michigan senator. Many voters also admired Ford for his engineering feats, his notably low costing automobiles, and the high salaries that he paid his employees. Running as a peace candidate and not claiming affiliation to a political party, Ford placed his name on both republican and democratic primary ballots. All of the democratic candidates withdrew from the primary race, securing the nomination for Henry Ford, while Truman H. Newberry would eventually win the republican nomination.
With the coinciding of a revolution on the brink of eruption and the impacts of the First World War beginning to take hold of Russia, considered analysis of the factors that may have contributed to the fall of the Romanov Dynasty is imperative, as a combination of several factors were evidently lethal. With the final collapse of the 300 year old Romanov Dynasty in 1917, as well as the fall of Nicholas II, a key reality was apparent; the impact that WWI had on autocratic obliteration was undeniable. However, reflection of Russia’s critical decisions prior is essential in the assessment of the cause of the fall of the Romanov Dynasty.
During the eighteenth century Europe increased its ability to win wars. Through advances in weaponry and fighting formations, they were able to dominant adversaries with an almost unfair edge. Technology and military strategy both played a significant part in placing European countries at the front of world powers, but it was the ability to integrate and leverage the governments’ economic resources, that separated them from most of the world, when it came to battlefield superiority.
Since the Tarasoff case, duty to warn and duty to protect has become an important role for psychologists and social workers. A psychologist has an ethical obligation provide clients with confidentiality. They are also required to know and understand when to break confidentiality if during their services, a patient claims harm to himself/ herself, or others. The case Tarasoff v. Regents was about Tatiana Tarasoff whom was killed by Prosenjit Poddar who has displayed a verbal desire to kill her to a psychologist from University of California. Podder was receiving therapy from Dr. Lawrence Moore around and he has mentioned his desire to kill her to Dr. Moore. Eventually, Poddar killed Tatiana Tarasoff. This incident led to the case that focused on duty to warn and protect which has changed the field in psychology and its legal and ethical obligations when there is a chance of harm or danger to another human being. The Tarasoff case has a major impact on psychology and the ethical guidelines that every psychologist must follow. Ethical and legal standards protect the
In the 1970s, technologies such as video cassette recorders and personal computers were revolutionizing the industry. Co-founders, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, were drawn to this technology revolution and in 1976 started Apple Computers (Abdelsamad et al., 2008). The combination of their charisma and intellect enabled them to design the Apple I computer. Today, Apple is one of the leading technology companies in the world. However, internal factors such as Apple’s unclear marketing plan, employee work life negligence, and financial-legal issues have negatively affected their performance and sullied their corporate reputation. Apple worked to correct the issues that were detracting from their performance and has had great success in recent years. However, Apple must learn to continually monitor these areas in order to achieve long-term success and retain a competitive advantage.
Apple is a global consumer electronic leader with internationally prevalent products such as the iPhone, iPad, and OSX Computers, and services such as the iOS and OSX operating systems and iCloud, a mobile cloud solution. These products, especially the iPhone, are a significant source of revenue for the company allowing it amass a cash stockpile of $203 billion. Additionally, Apple has a high level of brand loyalty from many consumers and according to Forbes has a brand valued at $143.5 billion (http://www.forbes.com/pictures/mli45fdhfm/1-apple/).

Throughout Apple’s history, the company has experienced an enormous amount of growth in the computer industry with its implementation of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis. It all starts with Apple’s position in the market and how they upheld a competitive advantage against other competitors. Apple’s specific competitive advantage during “1976 to 1990” was based upon the ideals of having a “strong brand image, consistent innovation, and differentiation” (Yoffie). To begin, Steve Jobs provided Apple the building blocks to have a competitive advantage over other competitors. For differentiation and innovation, Apple focuses on products with superior quality, provides an outstanding customer service
Most of the civilizations throughout history have been taken over or replaced by other civilizations due to disunity and chaos. Although an empire might seem prosperous, the decline and fall of empires are sometimes inevitable. Even though an empire might seem invincible, there are many factors that could lead to the sudden decline or fall of an empire. Over many centuries, historians have composed many reasons, such as weak militaries, economic burdens, dynastic successions, and external enemies, which have been known to contribute to the rise and fall of many once successful empires.

Apple has made reasonable management of its human and material resources since its innovational approach demands effective strategic allocation of its resources to the development and utilization of its productive resources to support its innovative investment strategies. Effective strategic control brings power to Apple’s decision-makers to allocate its resources to confront the technological, market, and competitive uncertainties which are inherent in the innovation

Some of the strategies used by companies and that Apple could find very constructive could include the below marketing strategies to be used for future success.

They have a reputation and dominant in the technological leadership in the iPad and iPhone. The iPad 4 technology was released within 7 months to the iPad 3 the reason being the A6X processor in the iPad 4 is signific...
Globalization has already existed in the world long time ago. Thus, it is not a brand new phenomenon for human beings. However, it has rapidly increased from last few decades. Therefore, the influences of globalization to us are more obviously. According to the article from World Health Organization, globalization is generally recognized into two interrelated components: the opening of borders to progressively fast flows of products, services, economy, people and ideas across international borders; and the alterations in institutional and policy authorities at the international and national levels, which facilitate or promote their circulations. Indeed, by seeing the outside of the effect about globalization is positive because it can make the world more mobility, but it actually is more negative to the human beings. Especially the working poor ranges from developing countries to developed countries.
