Transcendence and disability

Transcendence and disability

 Our textbook authors’ focus is on transcendence and disability.  The implication in that focus is that disability is something one needs to transcend.  What are your immediate reaction to that statement?   I ask because disability is an identity.  Should we look to transcendence of an identity as a goal?  Or should the focus be on acceptance?  Or is there something I am missing?

Information:

You are the Sales Manager for an organization that sells management software to small/medium-sized businesses. The company treats all accounts in a similar way.

Most of their communication with accounts is done using limited technology (e-mails) with smaller revenues generated through Facebook and Twitter (using a multi-channel approach). You have around 1000 clients you work with. 30% of your clients account for around 40% of your sales revenue. The remaining 70% of your clients represent the remaining 60% of your sales revenue.

The company currently operates on a national level with 3 tele sales operators and 1 media (Facebook) manager. There is one consultant (a technician) that the company works with who is employed to personalize the software for larger clients.

Questions

  1. How does the current approach to sales fail to generate their true revenue potential and, therefore, hinder their contribution to the organizational and sales strategy?
  2. What changes could be made to improve their relationship with accounts to ensure improved results and develop a more substantial company position? 3. Describe how a more integrated marketing communications (Sales/Marketing) might be adapted to enable positive performance.
    4. Describe how purchasing would work in this organization with emphasis on how value would be delivered to clients?

Sarcopenia

Sarcopenia

Sarcopenia is the normal age-related process of muscle fiber loss. Type I muscle fibers support endurance and posture. Type II muscle fibers support strength for heavier loads and speed, as well as older adult functional independence in activities such as going up stairs and standing up from a chair. Resistance training can help slow muscle fiber loss at any age.

For this discussion,

we will examine the more microscopic underlying question: “Why do we lose muscle fibers with the aging process? Where do they go?”

Select one of the two reference articles listed below for this discussion. Within the selected article, read the abstract, introduction, conclusion, and at least one additional section of your choosing.

From your research, how would you answer the question: “Why does sarcopenia occur? Where do the muscle fibers go?” While you may use scientific terminology, also include your own words to describe the phenomenon.
