Introduction: 

   Aquaculture (fish farming) using biofloc technology includes using microorganisms to establish a healthy ecosystem on the farm. In order to break down organic matter and create nutrients for the fish to consume, it includes the cultivation of advantageous bacteria and other microorganisms.

 The water is maintained nutrient-rich in a biofloc system by adding a small quantity of feed and letting the microorganisms break it down. Biofloc, the resulting bacteria, feeds fish naturally while also assisting in the removal of extra nutrients and maintaining the cleanliness of the water.

The use of biofloc technology in farming has many advantages. As the fish can use the biofloc as a source of nutrition, it can help to reduce the quantity of feed needed. Due to the system’s reliance on natural processes rather than chemical inputs, it can also help lessen the negative effects of fish farming on the ecosystem. Small-scale farmers can use biofloc systems because they are affordable and reasonably easy to set up and run.

However, using biofloc technology has some drawbacks as well. Maintaining the ecosystem’s balance can be challenging, and if it’s not properly handled, it could be vulnerable to parasite or disease outbreaks. Additionally, biofloc devices might emit odours that neighbours of the farm may find unpleasant.

 Overall, biofloc technology holds promise as a sustainable and economical aquaculture technique, but it is crucial for farmers to closely watch and manage the system to ensure its success.

The following are some instances of microbes that are crucial to aquaculture:

1.Bacteria that fix nitrogen change nitrogen gas into forms that plants and animals can use, like ammonia or nitrite. Nitrogen is a crucial nutrient for plant development, and bacteria that fix nitrogen are crucial for the productivity and well-being of aquaculture systems.

2. Decomposer bacteria: These microorganisms convert organic material, like fish waste and uneaten feed, into simpler compounds that plants and other creatures can use. The preservation of water purity and the recycling of nutrients in aquaculture systems depend on decomposer bacteria.

3. Pathogenic bacteria: Some bacteria can infect fish and other aquatic creatures with illness. It is crucial to keep an eye out for these microbes in aquaculture systems and to take preventative measures.

The species of aquacultured aquatic animals, the type of feed used, and the system management techniques can all affect the composition and nutritional value of biofloc, a type of microbial biomass generated in biofloc technology systems.

In general, the microorganisms that make up biofloc are a diverse population that includes bacteria, algae, protozoa, and other creatures. These microbes turn surplus nutrients and organic matter in the water, like extra feed, excrement, and uneaten food, into biomass by consuming it. The biofloc system’s biomass can then be used as a supply of food for the raised animals.

The makeup of the system’s microorganisms and the nutrients they contain determine the nutritional worth of biofloc. For farmed aquatic animals, Biofloc may be a good source of protein and other vital minerals. It may also contain other advantageous elements, like enzymes and growth factors, that promote the wellbeing and development of the animals.

However, a number of variables, including the pH and oxygen levels in the water, the presence of toxic compounds, and the presence of pathogens, can impact the nutritional value of biofloc. In order to create high-quality biofloc that gives farm animals the best nutrition possible, the biofloc system must be carefully managed.

PEST analysis of Qatar Football world cup
2022

Introduction

The
selected country Qatar Graphical representation including Football world cup demo
is mentioned in diagram in the context of user attraction.

Figure
1:
Country attractions 

Qatar
is a small country situated east of Saudi Arabia with a population of slightly
more than 900,000 people and an emirate-style administration. The administration
of Qatar claims constitutional autonomy in the country, but there are no
political parties and no elections are held. Its capital is Doha, and it is
located on the Persian Gulf’s coast. This poster uses the PEST framework to
provide an in-depth analysis of fractionally important world cup events at
various levels that affect the Qatar economy from political, economic, social,
and technological perspectives, in order to comprehend the economic impact of world
cup events in greater detail.

Project
aims and objective

With the attraction of Football world cup events, this
characteristic will bring a huge quantity of capital flow to the Qatar area or
city in the near term, as well as a large number of mobile resources. Furthermore,
the economic benefits of hosting world cup events in Qatar should not be
overlooked. Football world cup event tickets, lodging, food, competition
souvenirs, transportation costs, and so on are all key components of the retail
industry’s growth of Qatar. As a result, Qatar hosting world cup events have
had a significant impact on net export demand. As seen in Figure 1, Qatar indicated
in orange color code has hosted a number of large-scale events as compared with
other countries as mentioned din blue color code that have had a significant
influence on the country’s growth.

Figure

large-scale events ratio in Qatar as compared with
other countries

Finding
and recommendations

This poster,
which use the PEST model, examines the influence of various degrees of major Football
 world cup events on the Qatar economy.
The PEST model is introduced, and an in-depth examination of the influence of
marginally important world cup events on the Qatar area economy is provided,
taking into account both internal and external variables. The quantity and
likelihood of minor events hosted in the ordinary state are clearly higher than
international events and so on, according to PEST study. It plays a significant
part in the local economy of Qatar. Major competitions can provide significant
economic advantages while simultaneously posing significant hazards. This
poster covers the potential or benefit, as well as countermeasures and
recommendations for encouraging the industrialization of minor world cup events
of Qatar.

Political factors of Qatar

There
are no elections in the country, so there is no democratic government; instead,
there is only one king, who rules over the entire country (Kamrava, 2009). He has a
coalition government, the majority of whom are members of the royal family. A
large number of foreign residents reside inside the country but are unable to
apply for citizenship (Peterson, 2006). Qatar will host
the FIFA World Cup in 2022 and will construct a number of world-class stadiums
in which football matches will be played. The facilities for sports and
activities will be built by the government. As new facilities as well as other
structures are built in this country, it will soon become a significant
business center, similar to Dubai, after hosting the FIFA World Cup. The
administration is stable, because there is no chaos to cause havoc in the
country. It has vast petroleum reserves, which are its primary source of
income. Individuals were indeed satisfied with the services made available to
them, and the government believes strong relations with all neighboring
countries as well as other established countries all over the world as
mentioned in figure 3.

Economic factors of
Qatar

The country’s economy is
struggling because it is rich in natural gas and oil. This is a peaceful
country. As a result, there are numerous opportunities for industrialists and
businesspersons to expand their enterprises. In the coming decades, it will
become a major corporate hub (Williams, Bhanugopan, & Fish, 2011). In 2015, the financial system expanded by 3.9 percent, while
emerging markets expanded by 6.0% Qatar’s real GDP is expected to grow by 18 % in
2015, and it is still growing due to increased hydrocarbon taxation and
government assistance to stimulate economic growth. The country’s revenue from
natural source is approximately 800.000 barrels per day, and the country is now
searching for LPG production as mentioned in figure 3 (Hashimoto, Elass, & Eller, 2004). Qatar has the world’s largest non-associated gas field, the
North Dome gas field, which accounts for 14 to 16 % of global reserves. The
government is concentrating its efforts on the establishment of Qatar
Innovation and Engineering Park, Qatar Airways, and the expansion of Doha.

Figure 3: Political and economic
factors including detail overview of PESTEL

Social Factors of Qatar

The country has had a
positive impact, and their new generation is achieving greater academic
success. Local nationals are now receiving education from foreign countries and
occupying key positions upon completion of their education (Naser, Al-Hussaini, Al-Kwari, & Nuseibeh, 2006). It saves a lot of money that would otherwise be spent on
payments to undocumented migrants. They are religious because a large portion
of their population is Muslim, and they have a rich tradition and Islamic
culture. They are caring and welcoming all type of individuals. They can boost
their economy by implementing various financial assets and starting to work
within their own. They must also offer their client needs solutions in the
field of finance, services, trade, and tourist activities (Al-Shafi & Weerakkody, 2010). Now that the World Cup has arrived, it will become the focal
point of attention for people all over the world, and people will begin their
financial transactions and its impaction mentioned on figure 4. The
government has been providing education, and women are not permitted to obtain
a driver’s license without the authorization of their husband.  

Technological Factors of
Qatar

Qatar has made
considerable technological advancements, with the introduction of new smart
technology (Hendawi & Nosair, 2020), such as integrated computers technology as increased rate from
2010 to 2022 is mentioned in diagram 4. The individuals have internet
access and use social networking websites. The government has developed their
airline, which is now ranked fifth in the world. Exploration for oil and
natural gas employs cutting-edge advanced technologies. Qatar is a major
exporter of oil and gas, and it has maximized resource utilization and begun
import and export with a number of European countries. It will make rapid
progress in the production and export of oil and gas production, and it has
established its financial systems and is prepared to encourage any
technological advancement in any field.

Figure 4: Technological Factors of
Qatar and social consideration of Qatar

Environmental Factors of
Qatar

The Ministry of Industry
and Manufacturing established the Nature Conservation Committee to keep an eye
on the factors that can harm the environment. The government has shown its
dedication to enacting environmental legislation (Touati, Al-Hitmi, & Bouchech, 2012). They want to ensure a clean and green environment that will give
people hope, and they will gladly accept regional and global entrepreneurs as
well as large sums of money to invest in various industries and businesses (Touati et al., 2012). With the football World Cup being held in the country, the
entire world’s attention will be drawn to it, and businesses will consider it
to be the best location for their operations. The administration will now
have to construct new hotels and apartments for the participants and fans who
will come to enjoy the world cup of 2022.

Legal Factors of Qatar

The government has been
implementing laws that have been successfully implemented. The judicial system
is strong, and individuals and groups must follow these legislation and rules
when carrying out their activities (Jureidini, 2017). The effective application of the law guarantees the security and
safety of people’s lives and property. Businesses and organizations can conduct
business in accordance with the rules and legislation. The law is made by the
state for the welfare and safety of the people, and no one is permitted to
break it. From a legal standpoint, this country is suitable for making
investments and starting businesses (Truby, 2017). Whether studying the
earlier time processes or probing its most intuitive thoughts of city dwellers,
we can all agree that minor world cup events have made significant
contributions to strengthening urban infrastructure. The size and impact of
minor world cup events will have implications on the traditional land usage
mode, urban transit network, infrastructure, and other factors.

Figure 5: Impact of PEST on Football
world
cup events based on below
mention recommendations

Recommendations

The date and time of the
event are set in advance, putting a time limit on the design and implementation
of mobility operating systems & transportation infrastructure. The
unavoidable effects of organizing events are the integration and completion of
urban infrastructure. To alleviate congestion problems throughout large events,
vehicular traffic control must be introduced, which not only assists event
planners in determining the sustainability of important events but also
provides them with a plethora of information to influence their financial
decisions.

How engineer can introduced personally in the
context of ethical norms

Careers are similar to marathons in
that they require a lot of effort. It’s all about making steady progress and
picking up new skills along the road. We must be guided by our basic ideas even
as we expect to grow and develop professionally and personally throughout our
lives. As we learn to manage our careers by reading our moral compass,
professional development and ethics go hand in hand. A code of practice that
defines behavior by determining whether acts are ethical or incorrect might be
defined as career ethics. We can reap the benefits of following a clear and
consistent set of criteria on our career growth by adhering to them. We create
ethical principles throughout our lives as a result of our families, education,
communities, religion, and employment, and they can be extremely useful in
assisting us in thriving and improving in our careers.

My parents were wonderful, although
they did occasionally lie to my brothers and me. There are two specific
examples that come to mind. “Sticks and stones may break your bones, but
words will never harm you,” they claimed. This was their first untruth; we
all know that while words may not hurt physically, they surely harm
intellectually and emotionally. When we were spanked, they told us the second
lie: “This is going to hurt me more than it’s going to hurt you.” I
don’t think spanking me did them any good! Thankfully, these are the only two
lies I recall from my parents. They were always honest, even if it was painful.

My brothers and I learned about
right and wrong from them, which inspired us to always act ethically,
especially as we grew older and entered the workforce. Acceptable standards of
behavior and maintaining integrity in the workplace are examples of ethics
(especially when no one is looking). Our values guide our actions and shape our
attitudes. As a result, our attitudes shape our behavior. Ethical behavior is
beneficial to business because it demonstrates respect for key moral principles
such as honesty, fairness, equality, dignity, diversity, and individual rights.

My Personal Credo

I will treat others the way I would
like to be treated. In both my personal and professional life, I will be
truthful and open. I will always give my all, and I will strike a healthy
work-life balance. I am committed to constantly bettering myself. I will keep
my promises and fulfil my obligations. I will accept responsibility for any
shortcomings or mistakes I make. I will always stand firm in my convictions. I
value my life and will be thankful for it every day. I fully support my core
values and will hold myself accountable.

Follow-up statement 1:

I will treat others the way I would
like to be treated. Regardless of my mood or current life situation, I will
commit to acting courteously in my day-to-day interactions with others. It is
important to me that I have a positive impact on the people with whom I come
into contact.

Statement 2 as a follow-up:

I will be honest and transparent in
my personal and professional life. While I respect my right to privacy, I am
committed to full disclosure of my professional life. I’m committed to not
withholding information from someone who deserves it, but I recognize the
reality of and anticipate encountering situations that appear ambiguous. These
situations will force me to reconsider my morals in order to determine whether
withholding information is acceptable.

Follow-up statement 3:

I will
always put forth my best effort, and I will maintain a healthy work-life
balance.

My effort is not always necessarily
about the result, but about my adherence to my own standards in achieving them.
I am dedicated to equally prioritizing my work and home lives when deciding how
to spend my time and efforts.

Follow-up statement 4:

I will
remain accountable for my shortcomings or mistakes.

I will hold myself accountable for
any action that I am morally responsible for. To avoid situations in which I
may be required to perform such actions, I will strive for as much autonomy as
possible in my personal and professional lives. Accepting accountability if I
cause any sort of harm includes righting unintentional wrongs.

My Two Guiding Ethical Frameworks

We are welcoming of people from all
backgrounds on our team, including members of any race, ethnicity, culture,
class, orientation, education, age, size, family status, political or religious
beliefs and mental and physical ability. Treat others how you would like to be
treated in the workplace. Each person on this team is important and essential,
and each person’s decisions and actions affect our outcomes and morale. Conducting
yourself professionally includes being kind to others. Maintain professional
interactions when communicating with others at all times.

Ethical Dilemma

The nature of dilemma is standing
against wrong powers enforcing for the step against ethical values. The video
shows that the engineer worked the bet according to the rules and norms fulfilling
the all requirements of the project while his senior is enforcing him to do it
against ethical values for their political purposes.

The engineer in the given video is
facing both internal and external pressure. Internally he cannot accept immoral
and unethical standard or act meanwhile external pressure of his senior due to
political reasons is also enforcing him. Now this is dilemma how he will manage
the both pressures. Either he manages the pressure of juniors as well as internal satisfaction or the
pressure and underestimation of seniors, enforcing him for the happiness of new
selected mayor and due to which company will get benefits. For the benefits of
company, seniors are enforcing the engineer for unethical work.

The stakeholders according to this
video are junior engineers which are working their best and senior managers
which are working by focusing only the company benefits. The responsibility of
engineer is to work hard both by managing the company benefits as well as by
taking all the work ethically. In case the company enforces him or indulging
him in unethical work. He should have the power to say no or in other way
enforces the company seniors with his arguments to work ethically.

According to the credo, I should
keep an eye on the moral values and never be enforced by any person or company
in my way. I should have to work with honesty and dignity or leave it.

Gun Control usage and International
Considerations

Gun control

Gun
control relates to the domestic regulation of firearm manufacturing, trade,
ownership, usage, and transport, particularly concerning the small arms
category of firearms (revolvers and self-loading handguns, shotguns and
pistols, automatic rifles, submachine guns, small machine guns) (Greene-Colozzi & Silva, 2020). Gun control is classified as restricting the public’s access to
weapons and certain types of guns (J. D. Brown & Goodin, 2018).

Introduction

Gun control refers to the policy, regulation, and
execution of laws to restrict access to, ownership of, or use of weapons,
including firearms. Artillery policy remains one of several nations’ most
controversial and emotional issues. The debate is mostly focused on whether
limits on individual arms-bearing rights represent an unconstitutional violation
of freedom and whether the connection is arms and crime. Advocates of weapons
regulation contend that strict application of arms control legislation saves
life and avoids abuse. In contrast to these, proponents of arms control argue
that restricting the supply of handguns guarantees that civilians have enough
self-defense and that more arms are available in safer communities. In various
measures taken by Congress since the 1930s, gun control has been shown (Metzger, 2017). It is difficult to explain
why there is weapons safety. According to the Second Amendment, the United
States government insists that civilians have the freedom to bear arms.
However, a lack of firearms control has resulted in several reports of gun
abuse, prompting Congress to take action. Gun violence is at the forefront of gun
control in the United States, from the murders of important elected figures to
mass shootings (Soto, Chheda, & Soto, 2020).

A debate on gun control has
erupted, with various groups debating their respective positions on gun crime
and gun control measures in light of school shootings and homicides. For
example, there is an assertion that most of America’s daily firearm violence is
concentrated in the poorest, most culturally isolated areas. There is high
unemployment, poor school districts, and high levels of police/personnel
suspicion in neighborhoods. The study reports that Africans make up about 13%
of the total population in general cases of gun killings. Besides, about
fifteen of 30 people killed each day by arms are dark-skinned me (Bitz, 2017).

Gun control,
usage, or misusage

Weapons are
versatile tools that can supply meat, kill creatures and rats, give people a
relaxing experience and defend lives and property from illegal predators. They
are also useful tools for supplying food for the table, and they are especially
common in rural life, where wildlife is both a threat and a leisure
opportunity. However, with America increasingly technological and violent, the
demand for guns was largely driven by the need to stand up against other
people.(Finley & Esposito, 2019).

International Considerations

Gun regulation
is a global concern, apiece nation taking the exclusive authority to govern
weapons inside its boundaries (Burkle, 2020). There are strict weapons protection regulations in
effect in the vast majority of western countries. Except in some conditions,
Japan limits possession and use of all weapons. The EU has prohibited the
transport of arms(R. B. Brown, 2020). Germany requires certain guns to be possessed so long
as that individual meets the license for firearms(Amoroso, Frank, Noel,
Lucy, & Guglielmo, 2018). The possession of handguns is still banned in Canada
and the European Union.

The Historical
Roots of Gun Regulation

As the control
of weapons imposes moral limitations upon weapons, it has its roots in ancient
Rome to protect democratic societies. Weapons are used in Rome as a way of
maintaining permanent armies. To prohibit these armies from undermining or
overthrowing civil government, the Rubicon crossing of military equipment has
been outlawed in Roman legislation (Fezzi, 2020). The law remained valid until Julius Caesar challenged
it by retaining a standing Army as the Roman emperor, a historic act that
reminds of the decline of the Roman Empire(Strauss, 2020).Both the Bill of Rights (officially a Declaration of the
Rights and Liberties of the Topic, 1689) and the United States Constitution
contain provisions that forbid the preservation of permanent armed forces
during peace times without the permission of the legislative branch.(Jacob, 2019).

In England,
arms were also governed in socio-economic terms by Parliament and the Crown.(Jacob, 2019). In 1649, John Sadler wrote in his book English Reformer
and MP. “The Rights of the Kingdom,” (Coster, 2018) “Men ought indeed to have Arms, and them to keep
in Readiness for Defense of the King and Kingdom,” (Charles, 2009) but Senate demarcated which menfolk were to “provide
and bear arms, how, and when, and where.” It is worth noting that
firearms were used primarily as ways of protecting the realm in general. Even
because of this, though, the government regulated arms closely to ensure they
were ready for public safety and were not in risky hands. For example, during
the reign of Henry VIII (1509–47), a ban on “weapons” and
“self-protection devices” was enforced on all cities, settlements,
marketplaces or other churches but with such a fuss (a practice whereby
criminals were pursued with cries and sounds of alarm)(Krouse, 2012).Other gun-control legislation passed by Henry VIII
included limits on the length of firearms, who could own them, and where and
when they could be shot(Wright, Rossi, &
Daly, 1983).

In England,
gun safety was not a matter for parliamentary debate. From the mid 17th to the
late 18th centuries, however, parliamentarians had enacted legislation aimed at
abolishing weapons restrictions and the possession and maintenance of guns by
English housemates to defend the territory. In the Convention which drafted the
English Declaration of Rights in 1689 for example,(Jacob, 2019)Thomas Erle, a former
general and associate of Legislature, suggested that “every substantial
householder in every town or city should be equipped with a good musket in case
of invasion.” An analogous suggestion was prepared in 1693 to encourage
every Protestant to hold a musket “for the protection of the country.”
(Jacob, 2019)Such plans, however,
collapsed because they would “arm the mob” and hence were
deemed “not so safe for every government.”

Of course, security safety
wasn’t the only excuse for the enforcement in England of gun laws. Gun rules
have also been applied to encourage game shooting or the right of hunters to
protect gambling as well as to stop crime and assassinations. In the 1950s,
Scottish thinker and historian Adam Ferguson argued that, while there would be
“few domestic in comfort,” this could not “determine us from the
steps needed” to prepare the people for “our own defense, against an
enemy from abroad.” Some Jenyns, the writer and member of the English
Parliament, also defended arms control in order to promote the establishment of
national militia.
Although “accidents [such as murder] could sometimes occur,” he
concluded that it didn’t matter because “any man” in the militia
would “beget three Children before he kills one Man.”

At the end of the day, no such arguments have
any bearing on England’s former arms rules. In mid-18th century, when militia
reform was enacted, George II ensured that the local lords kept all the militia
arms. This was a custom from the 1550s, during the reign of Mary I(Johnson,
2018).

Arms Control in United States

The United States colonies had various laws
on security, terrorism, hunting, global protection, and even arms slavery, like
England. Nevertheless, in two ways the American colonies differed from the
rules of the British arms control (Cornell &
DeDino, 2004). The first is
that the American colonies, besides the restrictions imposed upon the use,
regulation and possession of weapons. Second, a chosen social militia was not
commissioned by the American colonies. They recommended a bill to keep handguns
and other state protection provisions from men of all backgrounds.

The works of
Niccol Machiavelli, an Italian political scientist and theorist, James
Harrington, a British philosopher, Sidney and John Trenched were all based on
the value of weapons to defend the needs of the citizens of the republic. In
the second amendment, the Constitution of the United States, which states that,
“a well-regulated militia, which is necessary for the defence, shall
not infringe upon the right of people to keep and bear arms,” was
codified further by this ideology of protected citizenship, where every person
is a soldier and every soldier is a citizen. In particular in the late 19th and
early 21st centuries, the precise meaning of the Second Amendment was heavily
debated. The Supreme Court has recognized an individual’s right in District of
Columbia v. Heller (2008) to possess military guns without serving a national
militia and to use handguns for self-defense within the family (Larson, 2008).Furthermore, state legislatures are prohibited from
enacting gun-control laws that contradicts the terms of their individual state
constitutions (Pough, 2018).

In conclusion, gun safety in America remains
a major concern and various American organizations view gun control laws, as
well as gun crime and mass shootings, differently. In either case, according to
reports by the Federal Bureau of Investigations and gunpolicy.org, the general
handgun crime rate in the US is about 16 times higher than in France. So, in
order to save the largest number of lives, we must regulate not only everyday
crime but also mass shootings by the enforcement of gun control laws.

ZARA enterprise resource planning
strategy and security
system

Company introduction and overview

Zara is one of the most famous
fashion companies in the world. Balenciaga founded the company in 1975 with the
primary goal of integrating customer needs into manufacturing and
manufacturing, as well as marketing (Bonnin, 2002). Ortega and Castellanos believed
that the use of computers to respond quickly to customers and brands spread
across many countries, such as Oman, was crucial to the success of the type of
business they wanted to start. In 2003, Zara was the only company that could
deliver its outlets in just fourteen days when they were manufactured (510 in
35 countries) (Ghemawat, Nueno, & Dailey, 2003).

Company Information system & corporate
strategy for e-business

Zara’s information system was
located in the leading area of ​​the strategic IT power system. This shows that
Zara’s management team realized that their business strategy was to increase
the number of stores offering relatively short, quality items to
fashion-conscious young city dwellers. Demand for reliability and
business-critical computing was very low; he was only there to help people with
their tasks. Zara may have put himself in danger by implementing a new point of
sale system (Ives & Learmonth, 1984). Zara was working with a
decentralized CD-based IT system, which hampered its ability to access critical
data in connected databases. Irresponsible or vindictive workers are
responsible for the majority of security breaches (Al-Mustfa, Fattouh, & Hashim, 2012). For Zara, the threat of a worker
to the network is low; the worst-case scenario would be if they delete the
sales figures from the previous day (Ferdows, Lewis, & Machuca, 2003). Since information is not actually
transmitted to headquarters on a daily basis, attackers have fewer
opportunities to break the computer for such a rudimentary method.

Enterprise resource
planning strategy of ZARA

Zara is well known for its ability
to supply retailers with new clothing quickly or in limited quantities. The
sales manager orders clothes twice a week. Usually, new clothes arrive at
retailers three times a week at a certain time (West & Sparks, 2004). Zara does this by controlling
more of its distribution network than her contemporaries. The inventory control
used by Zara allows retail managers to communicate to customers what they want,
what they want and what they don’t like. Zara designers are doing new things
based on this information from the ERP.

Ethical, social and political issues

For decades, the fashion industry
has been characterized by the issue of sweatshops. Ethical Manufacturing
Exchange is a mechanism that allows garment companies and other industries
around the world to exchange financial information about subcontractors (Hale & Shaw, 2001). The United States Attorney
General must provide specific compensation and ensure that consumers do not use
the company to plan and attempt to deceive competitors (Seo & Suh, 2019). Socially, professional clients
now know that if they do the right thing, the Fair Industries platform will
record their violations and warn other participants, allowing them to ignore
the abusive activity. As all Zara deliveries take place through two facilities,
including Oman, the company is vulnerable to any disruption in the region (Seo & Suh, 2019). The climate, environmental
disasters, terrorists, strikes and political instability are examples. Zara
does not have a contingency plan due to the problems in Oman.

Suggestions in the context ZARA-OMAN to
improving security system

Wireshark
and Ivideon Server are the greatest tools for enhancing security. The following
items are especially utilized for security practices of ZARA: Ten Dell
PowerEdge 860 servers make up one rack server and one Dell PowerEdge T100 Tower
server available. One SonicWALL T2170 firewall.

Digital
technologies and its domains for future integration in real world

1. Why Digital technologies is important 

Introduction

The Digital technologies (digital employees, internet
of things, artificial intelligence, virtual & augmented reality,
block-chain, 3d printing., drones and robotics & automation) are
electronic tools, systems, devices and resources that generate, store or
process data. Well known examples include social media, online games,
multimedia and mobile phones. Digital learning is any type of
learning that uses technology. It can happen across all curriculum
learning areas.

Why
Digital technologies is important

The basic purpose of digital technology platform is
that it should provide technology-enabled services to the business. Technology
has revolutionized the go to market strategy of modern businesses. Digital
Platform that will become the new business model and accelerate the reach of
new markets. Digital technologies change reality in a fundamental way. After
centuries of scientific studies and of philosophical reflections, we could
reasonably claim to master the offline world. But the online world is not just
a dimension “added” to the development of digital technologies to be studied in
the same way as the offline world. 

The online dimension has actually led to a
confusion and fusion of online and offline. We are onlife, to borrow the
neologism of the philosophers of information. Problems such as the privacy of
personal data on the Internet, or the right to be forgotten, are clearly
generated by digital technologies. But their “onlife” character requires
that—before any ethical verdict can be advanced—the nature of the problem is
understood. Understanding the nature of the problem implies ontological and
epistemological reflections that, together, can inform ethics.

Future
of Digital technologies

Digital technologies 

Digital technologies have advanced more rapidly
than any innovation in our history – reaching around 50 per cent of the
developing world’s population in only two decades and transforming societies.
By enhancing connectivity, financial inclusion, access to trade and public
services, technology can be a great equalizer.

Artificial intelligence/ Machine
learning

Artificial intelligence will make a big influence on
current technologies. Basically, Artificial intelligence refers to the machine
or computer, able to solve the problem or task done by human using natural
intelligence. The algorithms and technology synchronized in a way that it
assists the humans with normal intelligence to perform a simple task without
being given an order. Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence.
As the name says it enable the machine to learn to take actions. AI in mobile
is the emerging trend in future and it holds immense potential.

Internet Of Things 

Internet Of Things is the inter-networking of
connected devices that enable these objects to collect and exchange data. It does
not need any interaction between humans or between human with a computer. From
physical devices to household items, vehicles, building it will open new
opportunities everywhere.

Digital technologies
impacts and ethical concerns

A digital technology not only impairs cognitive
development, but it also may result in psychological disorders. In teenagers, Digital
technologies can seriously affect their mental and emotional wellbeing. In
this age, mostly all teenagers depend on social media as their source of
entertainment or outlet.

It is only once we recognize how much
the onlife world differs from the old offline world that we can
sketch out a new discourse about ethics. In particular, an informational
approach provides an overarching methodological framework in which we can
juggle with three fundamental elements of philosophical thinking: what the
world is (i.e., ontology), how we can get knowledge of the world (i.e.,
epistemology), and the normative dimension at ethico-political level. These
three are essentially related and interconnected. However, due to the
hyper-specialization of the sciences and of philosophy, they grew into distinct
sub-disciplines that, by and large, talk past each other rather
than to each other.

 Digital
technologies, with their ethical challenges, provide us with the opportunity to
bring together ethics, ontology, and epistemology in a coherent approach. To
date, the philosophy of information is the approach that more than others has
the potential to understand this new onlife dimension and to guide us
out of the impasse of technological determinism.

 Why
the rest of us should care

An important lesson from the philosophy of information
is that there is no essential difference between humans and machines. This has
repercussions on a number of debates. On the one hand, we must rethink our
categories to understand the nature of informational organisms. What makes us
humans distinct from animals or computers is not our ability to process
information but the responsibility we hold towards other inforgs and
the infosphere during the whole information cycle.

On the other hand, and at a
more general epistemological level, the effects of ICTs are profound and
pervasive. The creation of knowledge is not an exclusive prerogative of human
beings: knowledge becomes situated, embodied, distributed, and relational—and
this across humans, machines, institutions, or environments. Recognizing these
characteristics of knowledge help mending (philosophy of) technology and
(philosophy of) science so that ethical questions can be an integral part of
them.

Project-
London’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Delivery Plan

Abstract  

London has lofty ambitions to reduce carbon emissions
the automotive industry, involving aims towards zero-emission sale prices for
any and all new automobiles and small freight carriers by 2030, zero-emission
cabs as well as privately rented cabs by 2033, as well as a zero-emission
region in Central London by 2025. To reach these objectives and achieve the air
pollution and climate advantages, a sophisticated allows companies will be
required. This research, which supplements the Mayor’s Electric Vehicle
Infrastructure Taskforce’s Delivery Plan, provides trying to charge network
goals at the township power level to 2035. It calculates the governmental
(housing and location moderate to swift or quick) as well as
non-governmental (home and office) charging required infrastructure from
each of London’s 32 boroughs and the City of London. This research also offers
meaningful information on the spread of electric vehicles in new areas. Because
hazards exist throughout the entire life span of initiatives, crisis management
is crucial to the success of electric car going to charge equipment community
collaboration developments under London’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
Delivery Plan. However, risk variables in London’s Electric Vehicle
Infrastructure projects are frequently interrelated, and as a result, the
interrelationships among components have an impact on risk administration,
which has been overlooked in previous research. This research also creates a
hazard identification and assessment of programs based just on binomial
visualization with judgement experiments to recognize the risk variables of
London’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure and evaluate their inherent impact
links. Look at the importance of cultural in ventures but also how Hofstede’s
Cultural Aspects paradigm may be used to help the London Mayor’s Electric
Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Delivery Plan reach its goal.

Introduction of the study

Automobility is one of the leading sources of global
energy consumption (Gielen et al., 2019). Automobile
emissions from gasoline and diesel account for nearly a sixth of worldwide
greenhouse gas emissions and the bulk of urban air pollution (Shafie and Mahmud, 2020, Maghirang, 2019). As a result,
electric vehicles (EVs), which produce far less CO2 than gasoline vehicles,
have been hailed as one of the most promising green technologies for lowering
global carbon emissions and energy consumption (Milovanoff et al., 2020, Wang et al., 2018). Understanding
important antecedents that might impact customers’ readiness or unwillingness
to embrace EVs, as well as the related influencing process, is critical for
achieving the anticipated environmental advantages of EVs (Biresselioglu et al., 2018). Product-related
factors (such as purchase and operating costs, vehicle speed and exhaust
emissions), information and service (such as infrastructure investment), policy
factors (such as government incentives and regulations), and individual factors
(such as environmental awareness and technology awareness) have all been
studied in relation to EV adoption. Surprisingly little is known about the
significance of cultural values in customers’ decision-making processes when
deciding whether or not to buy an electric vehicle (Gielen et al., 2019).

Significance of culture
in the context of project

On this are four elements that may have a significant
role in determining customer attitudes toward electric vehicles in the United
Kingdom (Morton et al., 2018). First, consumer
views of EVs’ environmental characteristic may be influenced by
“human–nature interaction” and “long–term orientation”
(LTO), concepts derived from Taoism and Confucianism, respectively, in UK
culture (Christidis and Focas, 2019).  Furthermore, “facial consciousness,”
a significant component of UK society, may shed light on the significance of EV
symbolism (Sovacool et al., 2019a). We considered
“risk mentality” as another possible element in EV adoption, which is
the influence of uncertainty on customers’ desire to adopt new technology, in
addition to these three UK cultural values (Christidis and Focas, 2019). Despite the
potential for cultural values to have a significant impact on consumer behavior,
previous research suggests that such impacts are generally indirect and occur
through certain mediating processes (Morton et al., 2018). Customers are
likely to connect their beliefs with behavioral intention when societal beliefs
enhance the ethical assessment of sustainable consumption, according to current
research; nevertheless, few studies have studied the role of culture on utilization
sustainably via moral assessment (Sovacool et al., 2019a, Legere and Kang, 2020). We investigate
the moderating effect methodology of deontological moral assessment is, a
person’s assessment of the underlying righteousness vs. immorality of a behavior
(Brambilla et al., 2021)—in the impact of
cultural influences on customers’ decision to accept EVs using code of
professional theories and models, that also appears to apply appropriate
ethical to business settings (Christidis and Focas, 2019, Brambilla et al., 2021).

Implementations of
Hofstede’s Cultural dimensions framework

In the sense of Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions
Framework research, with the goal of integrating cultural aspects, customer
perception, and behaviors regarding ecologically responsible usage, in response
to the call for greater attention to the influence of customers’ value systems
as well as social economic behaviors on attaining successful important for motivation
(Seleznyov et al., 2021). I proved the favorable
benefits of cultural values, such as the human–nature link, LTO, and face
consciousness, on influencing UK consumers’ propensity to embrace EVs,
associated with environmental, metaphorical, and innovative features of EVs (Requardt, 2020). As a result, the
first theoretical conclusion is the discovery of UK values that match to
sustainable innovation traits as antecedents for comprehending customers’
thinking process of EV innovation adoption (Belanche et al., 2020).

Customers have solid motivations for embracing
sustainable technologies like electric vehicles, according to Hofstede, if they
feel the service companies are consistent with own ideals and ethics (Moon, 2021). As a result of
the findings 20, welfare policies to encourage conservation efforts should
examine the influences of social traditions and the psychological
influence processes that accompany them. Policymakers and regulators could use
learning (Matz et al., 2020) and television
advertisements (Fossen et al., 2021) to increase the
attractiveness of principles, as well as enable conversations between similarly
minded citizens on the usage of environmentally conscious (Phipps et al.,
2013), which may increase consumer consciousness and arouse the desire for
social traditions. Furthermore, the results of Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions
Framework (Rojo et al., 2020) imply that public
measures should be implemented to lower the perceived risk of sustainable and innovative
technology, maybe by offering educational opportunities and enabling consumer
interactions (Xia et al., 2019). Second, we
discovered that deontological ethical judgement plays a role in modulating the
impact of cultural antecedents on adoption intention (Requardt, 2020). As a result, we
contend that deontological assessment is crucial in consumers’ decision-making
processes when it comes to adopting ecologically friendly purchase habits.
Furthermore, Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions framework  (Rojo et al., 2020) discovered that
the mediation effects varied according on the cultural antecedents and the
types of EVs. The competing mediation effect of deontological appraisal in the influence
of the human–nature interaction on consumers’ propensity to adopt BEVs may
reflect public anxiety about whether BEV adoption can truly assist reduce air
pollution in the United Kingdom (Moon, 2021).

Prior research has found a gap between intention and
conduct, despite Hofstede’s belief that behavioural intention is the most
explicit and direct antecedent to actual action (Wong and Cheng, 2020). Future research
may use longitudinal designs to validate the link between cultural antecedents
and actual EV adoption, according to Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions framework. Investigators
might also conduct a study of EV early adopters to learn more about their
habits (Brezina et al., 2019). Finally, despite
ensuring the confidentiality of participants through into the online
questionnaire, our research may not even be able to avoid the possible problem
of public desirability bias (Venkateswaran and Ojha, 2019). To account for
this potential bias in the analysis, next research may include a measure of
social acceptability in the questionnaire.

Cultural influence and
successful delivery of project Plan

The examination of mediating mechanisms in the context
of Hofstede’s Cultural Factors concept could have substantial consequences for
the development the influencing impacts of cultural variables on climate
consumerism (Rahman and Luomala, 2021). Electric
vehicles (EVs) come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each with its own set of
advantages and disadvantages in terms of energy savings and emissions reduction
(Panchal et al., 2018). BEVs are made of
cells that is filled from the power grid, whereas PHEVs can be powered by
either a diesel engine or an electrical system with a limited all-electric
range (Moon, 2021). As a result, I
evaluated the direct only effects, such as no mediated, as well as intermediate
just impacts, such as complete mediation, or both implications, such as
mediating variable, of diverse cultural elements employing meditational issues
in the context of Hofstede’s Cultural Theory (Sovacool et al., 2019b, Bissessar, 2018). The structural
model from previous research for the effects of environmental factors on
describing the technology acceptance within each type of EV may assist in the
creation of some more efficient mitigation conditions and institutional
promotional strategies to facilitate the adoption of EVs, allowing the London
Mayor’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Facilities to be delivered successfully (Bissessar, 2018).

Critically examine project management
leadership literature covering definitions of leadership and 3 project
management leadership theories covered on the module and recommend a leadership
style required for delivering the ‘Mayor of London’s Electric Vehicle (EV)
Infrastructure Delivery Plan’

Leadership in the context
of Project

The capacity to control, change, and exercising
influence over the conduct of others in a group is referred to as leadership (Stewart et al., 2019). It is a person’s
or a group of people’s capacities to inspire and steer representatives.
Clarifying goal, expressing the mission because others would voluntarily
follow, and offering the expertise, ideas, & procedures to fulfil the
vision are all part of leadership (Wildavsky et al., 2018). Leadership is a
critical leadership position that enables a company’s capabilities be directed
for continuous improvements & accomplishment (Huffington et al., 2018). Successful
managers clarify the organization ’s goals, encourage employees, and assist
them to achieve it.

Three project management
leadership theories in the context of project

A few of the theories that imply diverse techniques or
leadership styles for Mayor of London’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure
Delivery Plan include a contingency and situational theories; transactional and transformational
leadership theories and Authentic leadership theory.

Leadership &
theoretical prospective of Mayor of London’s EV Infrastructure Delivery Plan

Numerous strategies or transformational leadership are
suggested by a variety of ideas. In the contexts of different calamities and catastrophes
caused by uncontrolled anthropogenic activities, need for sustained development
is more urgent than ever (Suresh et al., 2020). Companies like
Mayor of London’s are looking for alternative energy sources due to the
declining supply of fossil fuels (Dyatlov et al., 2020). The Electric
Vehicle Infrastructure Delivery Plan is a novel phenomenon, and the Electric
Vehicle is undergoing considerable study to ensure that it is possible and
financially successful. There’re some early adopters, such as the Mayor of
London’s EV Infrastructure, whom has succeeded in establishing or are pushing
forward with their models (Chitchyan and Bird, 2021).

The Mayor of London’s EV Infrastructure scenario is
changing at a breakneck rate, with regular technical updates. It is critical to
stay current with changes, failing which the Mayor company may gain market
share (Harvey et al., 2018). The current
leaders are in charge of directing their staff to change in the most effective
way possible. The researcher name (Khan et al., 2018) highlighted the
importance of leadership effectiveness in intellectual capital for the firm (Nauman et al., 2021). Transformational
leaders were far more effective in handling the execution and completion of
innovation inside the dynamic environment of workspaces and its
responsibilities, according to leadership style (Stremersch et al., 2021). The transition
from the Mayor of London’s EV Infrastructure to the knowledge era has forced
leaders to adjust their leadership methods, because modern inventions are
unstable, global leaders must be flexible, adaptable, and interactive.
Succession planning requires a high level of dependability of Mayor of London’s
EV (Nauman et al., 2021).

Transformational leadership theory

The Mayor of London’s EV Infrastructure demonstrated
no improvement in leadership practices for over fifty years, with centralized
control being the favored strategy (Kwan, 2020). Unfortunately,
contemporary changes in the global economy have significantly altered the
criteria for leaders and influenced the companies like Mayor of London’s EV to
adopt stylistics way of leaderships (Fernández and Angel, 2020).

The earlier researcher (Clancy et al., 2018), explain the
novel concepts in the context of benefits and shortcomings of the
transformational leadership theory as extended to the Mayor of London’s EV
Infrastructure, the researcher (Clancy et al., 2018), also proposes a
number of changes designed to reduce negative consequences. To begin,
executives must pay more attention to engagement with the technological team to
make sure that critical elements from unknown industries are included (e.g.,
the integration of IT, hybrid technologies, and autonomous technologies) are
more important to deliver computational plan for Mayor of London’s. Furthermore,
they must assure the establishment of both azimuth and elevation messaging
services, as well as shared ideals, in order to strengthen trust, accomplish
consistent progression, and reduce unequal competency allocation (Kwan, 2020). Finally,
inspiring potential must be used to convey the need for transformation
throughout the firm in order to maintain the industry’s speed and agility while
also overcoming newly developing obstacles. The transformational theory is
predicted to optimize the functionality of the Mayor of London’s Objectives Of
sustainable design if these guidelines are followed correctly (Clancy et al., 2018).

Authentic
leadership theory

Authentic leadership theory (Luthans and Avolio, 2003), which provides
strong interaction, motivation, & intercultural flexibility, seems to be
another reasonable suggestion in the context of the Mayor of London’s Electric
Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Delivery Plan (Luthans and Avolio, 2003). Furthermore, it
fulfills the industry’s contemporary requirement for a plausible
entrepreneurial planning. Finally, Authentic leadership motivate the style of transactional
leadership theory, which is based on sound economic concepts, has practical
potential (Ofori, 2008). Furthermore,
according to (Wang et al., 2014), it is linked to
outcome focus, which is one of the company’s overall aims. It does, however,
bring unpredictability, since the London’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure
Delivery Plan declining stability may erode contingent compensation
opportunities.

Historical prospective

In the study of the Mayor of London’s EV
Infrastructure, (Muralidharan and Pathak, 2019) suggested the
Sophistication Conceptual Framework. Traditional leadership styles can help
motivate personnel and increase productivity, or they can also discourage
investment among the Mayor of London’s EV workers (Wen et al., 2019). The emergent
Properties Leadership Theory concept elevates leadership above and beyond
management duties (Schock et al., 2019). The modern era’s
leadership requirements are completely opposite, and this may be handled by
adapting leadership behaviors to the demands of the company (Schock et al., 2019).

Recommended leadership
style

In the context of the Mayor of London’s EV
Infrastructure, according to (Bass and Stogdill, 1990), transformational
leaders excite and cognitively invigorate their staff more than traditional
leaders whose focus on standard methods (Pralat, 2021). From the
beginning, Mayor of London’s embodied the culture of invention. The
earlier researcher (Bateman and Snell, 2019), creates
significant challenge for his staff and encourages them to question the status
of companies which create more efficient advertisement to adopt newly develop
strategies and plan. Leaders that bring through transformation and skillfully
administer it always have an influence on the community (Myricks, 2021).

The Mayor of London’s EV is part of a rapidly shifting
technology landscape that is adaptable across all battlefields. Professionals
having understood the impacts of disturbance and the necessity of working with
agility in the contexts of transformational style. There have been cases
wherein companies like Mayor of London’s worked diligently on a technique, only
for new adopted individuals  to dismiss
the idea due to his strategic considerations (Schwarz, 2019). Employees are
capable of accepting continuous transformational styles of leadership and are
equipped for this sort of action (Khan, 2021). Musk’s
transformative leadership style was ideal for ushering in a change in the
sector of organization (Anastasiadis et al., 2019).

Critically review and evaluate 2 managing change
models (Kotter or Kübler-Ross or Lewin’s model) covered on the module and
recommend one model that could be used or adapted as a suitable framework for
implementing the ‘Mayor of London’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure
Delivery Plan’ to improve consumer awareness and perception of EV’s. Justify your
answer supported by the literature and link this to the EV case study (LO3). 4.

Critical
review & evaluation of models

Industry has gone through several transformations
& cultural shifts, and competitiveness has grown genuinely global
throughout current history (Shrivastava et al., 2020). Never before has
a company had to react as swiftly to market demands and adopt new technology as
quickly as it does now without risking becoming irrelevant (Mergel et al., 2019). An comprehensive
literature (Vial, 2019) investigation of
all the most widely admired and paraphrased Transformation Modeling approaches (Misra et al., 2019) was conducted to
establish a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the nature of
Implementing Change, especially the different facets applicable to
incorporating technological change to Mayor of London’s EV Infrastructure
manufacturing lines towards the extent that an Increasingly Recognized as a key
can indeed be built from that framework (Mergel et al., 2019). The models were
evaluated for both straight & non-linear ideas which may be applied to the
Mayor of London’s EV Infrastructure manufacturing companies, and a
meta-theoretical architecture was constructed by combining the appropriate
aspects of all the models using a snowflake purposeful sampling. Aspects of
Scientometric concepts, non-codified theories, and the scientists’ direct
knowledge achieving technical change were included to this design (Lacerda, 2019).

Kubler-Ross & Kurt
Lewin model case study of EVs

According to Kubler-Ross (Corr, 2020), most people’s
experiences of ‘Transformation’ through a sequence of processes, similar to the
well-known “Five mourning process (Suomela, 2019, Corr, 2020).” It is
critical for a Project Manager to recognize that emotions of amazement, willful
ignorance, unhappiness, and sometimes even depressed mood are common once
attempting to deal with digital transformation, so the individuals, as
caretakers of the Change Initiative, must deal with these negative emotions
accordingly to avoid disrupting the Mayor of London’s EV Infrastructure
integration. Most, if not all, people will feel the feelings associated with
the Kotter’s eight curve, therefore anticipate significant irritation and/or
lack of participation from the Steering Committee (Eisenberg and Alahakone). Once the
Underperformers are satisfied that the Implementation process was completed
correctly and that the technology is safe to use, they will embrace the
innovation as well. Some Underperformers will only join once the Optimize stage
has been completed or all the kinks have been straightened out (Safe, 2021).

Kurt Lewin devised a three-step change theory (Burnes, 2020): unfreezing,
altering, and refreezing. The model is a straightforward and practical approach
to comprehending the transformation process. The period of development,
according to Lewin, comprises first generating the notion that a change is
required, then progressing forward towards the improved, optimum consistency of
conduct, and lastly consolidating that new behavior as the norm (Bakari et al., 2017). The model is
still extensively utilized and it is the foundation for many current
transformation models, such as the Mayor of London’s EV Infrastructure rollout.
Numerous individuals consider Kurt Lewin’s ‘shifting in 3 parts’
(unfreezing>changing>refreezing) to be the standard or essential method
to project leadership. Researchers have chastised Lewin for overcomplicating
the organizational change, while others have supported him against certain
claims (McAleese et al., 2013). The model’s
basic relevance, on the other hand, has remained uncontested. It can be linked
back to early article on the Mayor of London’s EV Infrastructure ever written
in Social Relations (if it can be linked directly whatsoever). Researchers  (Cummings et al., 2016) contend that Kurt
Lewin actually designed such a model and that it emerged after his death, comparison
about what Lewin stated regarding change in three phases in how it’s
represented in recent works for EV Infrastructure.

Recommended model for
case study: Richard Kotter

Rising temperatures including local pollution are high
on the agenda for urban areas, and are mostly now actively looking at methods
to cut their energy consumption, as seen by the Mayor of London’s EV
Infrastructure. “Most automobiles sit idle for much of the day, as well as
in the late evenings,” says Richard Kotter (ElBanhawy et al., 2012), “and are
often only utilized for commuting at peak periods throughout the daytime.”
Overnight & throughout the weekend, the same was said about industrial
transportation vehicles. Richard Kotter went on to say” While this
technology is still in its infancy, we are conscious that our cities have a
rising desire and legal need to address climate change.” According to the
Mayor of London’s EV Infrastructure (Shaw and Bunce, 2015), “this
strategy demands the joined-up planning of both transportation and
infrastructural amenities, including energy consumption and availability for UK
& other metropolitan regions & rural surrounds of the future.”

Delivery Plan’ to improve
consumer awareness and perception of EV’s

Many researches (Adnan et al., 2017, Jin and Slowik, 2017, Carmichael
et al., 2021) affected the mechanisms of delivery
plan and proposed evaluations for outstanding worldwide practices on electric
motor awareness among consumers & community engagement in order to improve
public attitudes and understanding of EVs. The previous study (Jin and Slowik, 2017, Hodson and Marvin, 2013) contains related
literature and studies on the relevance of customer perception, as well as
exemplary measures in promoting Mayor of London’s EV Infrastructure in
marketplaces. Based on an extensive review, the authors decided 5 research
studies (Moser, 2010, Ager and Strang, 2008, Rowe et al.,
2013) for further debate in attempt to
understand the essential components of effective comprehensive public service
announcements, such as the implementation of action huge impact perception is a
key part of helping the early Mayor of London’s electric vehicle market.
Long-term initiatives that employ a variety of marketing & awareness
offenders are more likely to reach a larger number of potential Mayor of London
electric car buyers (Lee and Kotler, 2011, Manning, 2001). Interested
parties might presumably cooperate to utilize abilities as well as successfully
use available resources on Mayor of London’s electric vehicle awareness
programs, & local context as well as funds can be critical in assessing the
practicability of a Mayor of London’s electric vehicle consumer awareness (Hall et al., 2017, Skok and Baker, 2018). Whereas the
objective of this project is on how behavior to enhance understanding and awareness
could perhaps influence electric vehicle uptake, Mayor of London’s Delivery
Plan should note that a wide range of promotion actions (e.g., financial (Kley et al., 2012), and
non-financial incentives (Zhongming et al., 2017), charging
infrastructure deployment, high model availability, efforts to increase
awareness and understanding, and others) are critical to growing the market
Mayor of London’s to improve consumer awareness and perception.

Whilst the ‘Mayor of London’s Electric Vehicle (EV)
Infrastructure Delivery Plan’ will encounter many well documented barriers and
issues you are asked as a consultant to critically analyses the risks
associated with the EV delivery plan from Concept to Implementation for a
client who intends to deliver Electric Vehicle’s in another leading European
City that currently has no such EV Infrastructure plan.

Although advancements to gasoline engines will
continuing to lower atmospheric co2 and other harmful emissions in vehicles
during the next few millennia, it is widely acknowledged that automotive
innovations will indeed be necessary to meet objectives. There seems to be a
widespread belief among potential choices that the Mayor of London’s EV
Infrastructure is the finest near-market low-emission vehicular technology. The
Mayor of London’s EV plan emphasizes the need for extensive charging
infrastructure to accommodate the accumulation or use of electronically
controlled automobiles besides People in London as well as enterprises. The
Mayor of London’s EV plan highlights the requirement for extensive charging
infrastructure to facilitate the uptake and usage of electric automobiles by
Londoners and businesses. This draught plan lays out a potential risk analysis
technique for the implementation of charging infrastructure for privately owned
EVs up to 2025, which faces several challenges and concerns. Choosing to focus
on the Mayor of London’s EV Infrastructure deployment plan within leading
regions, such as European cities that currently lack an EV Stimulus plan and
destinations dominated by people living in this area, will not only provide the
greatest environmental benefit in the short term, but will also increase sales,
lower mileage reimbursement, & help in making EVs more accessible to a
larger number of people, which will also be crucial for M2M adoption and
implementation.

a) Review all the
possible sources of risks related to the development and implementation of the
‘Mayor of London’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Delivery Plan’, learning
from the UK’s lessons learned. Identify the project’s aim and from these
identify 10 possible risks, construct a risk register (in a table)
making use of the risk meta language to describe the risk fully and
qualitatively analyse the risks and summarise your findings. (LO4)

The mayor of London EVs infrastructure has been
effectively utilized in infrastructure investment like an innovative funding
mechanism, as well as researchers have accomplished various research outcomes.
The authors of (Leurent and Windisch, 2011, Zheng et al., 2012),
highlighted the mayor of London’s electric infrastructure plan can help
the country to save money while also encouraging business strategy for
charging infrastructure. The authors of (Wirges et al., 2012, Andersen et al., 2009), thought that incorporating
the mayor of London’s electric infrastructure into filling stations may allow
individual entrepreneurs to help with project profitability. The authors of (Zheng et al., 2012), showed that the
mayor of London’s electric infrastructure plan is a good strategy to improve
recharging operational effectiveness.

Risk management is a major issue in the mayor of
London’s EV infrastructure projects, and feature analysis is a vital aspect in
the risk management process. The authors of (Rozenes et al., 2006, Suresh et al., 2020) created a
methodology to identify the most critical risk variables impacting the mayor of
London’s EV infrastructure projects in UK, as well as to assess the overall
threat level of such projects. It is still at the risk evaluation phase, with
no complete risk control in place. The authors presented a three-dimensional
approach to regulate risks in the mayor of London’s EV infrastructure projects
in (Voronkova et al., 2020) to cover this
gap.  These findings equip choice with a
comprehensive risk strategy. However, while defining and assessing risk
variables, present research ignores the interconnections across specified
standards, it has a substantial impact on risk mitigation.

Table 1: Risk in the
context of project

b) For the 10 risks
identified from (4a) develop mitigating strategies (threats and opportunities)
for each of the 10 risks and include the mitigation strategy alongside the risk
register shown in part (a). (L06).

Table 2: Develop
mitigating strategies in the context of project

c) Furthermore, identify
the risk management team structure and roles (with a supporting diagrammatic
structure that would link with the risks shown in part (a)) that would be required
when undertaking a risk management exercise for the ‘Mayor of London’s Electric
Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Delivery Plan’ (LO5).

Successfully investigated in diverse sectors based on
reviews and literature have recognized important risk linked with resulting in
significant at this time. In another article (Rozenes et al., 2006), the top three
risk in waste-to-energy incinerator mayor of London’s EV infrastructure
projects were identified as community resistance and encouragement, inadequate
risk associated with new adopted batteries and electric filling stations developments,
& incorrect operations. Risk allocation was done out in the mayor of
London’s EV Infrastructural development in UK by the authors of (Grenier and Page, 2012). Limited
availability, dealings with non-licensed commodities, threats to the
environment, financial risk, as well as a lack of supporting facilities are
indeed the five main risk concerns, according to the authors (Metzner et al., 2018).

Figure 1: Risk management
team structure and roles

In figure 1 the Table 1 presents several essential risks
in the mayor of London’s EV infrastructure spending based on illustrative
research, providing empirical direction as well as an indication benchmark and
Table 2 provide the mitigating strategies (threats and opportunities) for
company. From the perspective of the system, this research attempts to
investigate the influence relationships among risk variables of the mayor of
London’s major infrastructure projects. Risk aspects linked with the mayor of
London’s EV infrastructural development are recognized and identified based on
a literature survey, expert consensus, and industry leaders’ viewpoints. In the
first phase, a vulnerability analysis indexing system is introduced, which
includes six dimensions considerable risk, economic exposure, psychological
influence, design risk, & risk management.
