Making sure that the software is properly updated and working properly is required.
Since this technology is new to UMUC Haircut’s, scalability is very important. As a business, UMUC Haircut’s is not used to running a website, nor are they used to organizing a database. It is crucial that once UMUC Haircut’s database reaches a certain point, that the proper hardware is added to support the added information. The scalability will determine whether or not this technological move becomes successful

The growth of online business has grown enormously over the years. Cliptomania is a family operated and owned small e-business that primarily sells clip on earrings (Brown, DeHayes, Hoffer, Martin, & Perkins, 2012, p. 308). Cliptomania early developments were very modest, and as such the company experienced copious strategic dilemmas. An initial strategic dilemma that the company encountered when establishing and building their new e-business undertaking was to create a website for the business operations and essentially to have it fully operable. The owners, Jim and Candy elected to hire a vendor to host the website and additionally utilize the IT systems resources of the vendor to sustain their business. At the very beginning they exploited the offerings of the Yahoo Store. However, continuing down this avenue of using the services of the Yahoo Store inevitably became too costly. By using the services and business offerings of a vendor made it convenient and effortless for Jim and Candy to start their e-business store. Unfortunately the couple did not have much in the way of professional help, and so they had to create and put together the website by themselves. Additionally they also had to deal with establishing their online credibility as many customers preferred to call in their orders just to talk with a real person before being comfortable enough to place their orders via the webpage.
Since its publication in 1925, The Great Gatsby has remained a spot-on representation of a time in American history in which the people believed anything was possible. Gatsby is the definition of this idea. The underlying cause of everything in this novel is his--and in essence everyone’s idea. This idea is the ubiquitous notion of the American Dream. And Fitzgerald does not only write about the American Dream, but about its corruption as well. This following quote truly epitomizes what the American Dream had become in the eyes of Fitzgerald:
Both “The First Snowfall,” written by James Russell Lowell (a member of the Fireside Poets), and “The Snow-Storm,” written by Ralph Waldo Emerson display factors of Romanticism: the influence of nature concept through figurative language, the imagery concept through excessive details, and the infinite concept through mentioning of God and the Bible. These poems share similarities in how they achieve imagery, but, these poems differ in the types of figurative language used to obtain an influence of nature and with how they express the Infinite idea of Romanticism.

Manhattan has only a handful of barbershops and salons that The College Cut Bus would have direct competition with. The company will most likely only receive an average share of the market because of all the competition. However, the shops that already exist are overpriced, inaccessible by foot travel and typically unreliable on short notice. The company’s target market will be the students living on and near campus who do not have the time or energy to deal with traditional barber shops in Manhattan.

The outcome of the students success only builds during their education; without the proper knowledge in the hair industry, building a strong clientele base seems nearly impossible. The students attending beauty school contribute to the instructors pay and expect the best effort possible to be put into the program; the instructors irresponsibility and false advertisement should be looked into others who are promoting programs: to promote students to join that college without any experience of attending there on a regular basis adds to the false information. Some students may have more success than others, but every student leaving the schooling should feel positive about the education provided to them and without that emotion, the student will fail to ever gain success in making it in the hair industry.
