TQM programs are designed to improve the quality of all the processes that lead to a final product or service. In TQM, every aspect of the organization is oriented toward providing a quality product or service - it's a comprehensive quality philosophy.
Modern propaganda theory classifies propaganda by attribution — how transparent the source is:
- White Propaganda: The source is clearly and truthfully identified. The audience knows who is speaking. Example: Voice of America broadcasting under the U.S. government's name.
- Grey Propaganda: The source is concealed or not attributed. The message is presented as coming from a neutral or independent party, making it seem more credible than if it came from an identified propaganda agency. Unsigned articles, planted stories in media, and anonymous pamphlets are examples.
- Black Propaganda: The message is falsely attributed to a hostile or enemy source, designed to embarrass that source, undermine its credibility, or provoke it into harmful actions. It is subversive and deceptive by design, typically produced by intelligence agencies. An example is forged letters attributed to enemy commanders.
Harold Lasswell defined propaganda as “the management of collective attitudes by the manipulation of significant symbols.”
Find a value of $\theta$ for which $\dfrac{2+3i\sin\theta}{1-2i\sin\theta}$ is purely imaginary.
Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator $(1+2i\sin\theta)$:
Numerator real part: $(2+3i\sin\theta)(1+2i\sin\theta)$ real part $= 2-6\sin^2\theta$
For purely imaginary, the real part must be zero: $2-6\sin^2\theta=0\Rightarrow\sin^2\theta=\frac{1}{3}\Rightarrow\sin\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
Therefore $\theta=\sin^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
Which of the following statements regarding drawings is/are correct?
- They represent a decrease in the owner's investment in the business.
- They must always be less than the total profit for the year.
- They constitute the salary paid to the owner.
Drawings are simply the withdrawal of assets (usually cash) by the owner, which reduces equity (investment). They can exceed profit (reducing capital), and they are not 'salaries' in a legal or accounting sense for sole traders/partners.
