In this chapter, Collins begins the process of identifying and further developing from the research those unique factors and variables that differentiated the good and great companies. One of the most significant differences, he asserts, is the quality and nature of leadership in the firm. Collins initially told the research team to downplay the role of top executives in the good-to-great process. It became obvious that there was something different that these leaders did. Collins went on to identify "Level 5 leadership" as a common characteristic of the great companies assessed in the study. By further studying the behaviors and attitudes of so-called Level 5 leaders, Collins found that many of those classified in this group displayed an unusual mix of intense determination and profound humility. Characteristics used to describe these leaders included words like quiet, humble, modest, gracious, and understated. Yet there was also the stoic resolve and an unwavering determination evident. They were low-key executives, rarely appearing in the media, who demonstrated a relentless drive for results. These leaders often had a long-term personal sense of investment in the company and its success, often cultivated through a career-spanning climb up the company’s ranks. The personal ego and individual financial gain were not as important as the long-term benefit of the team and the company. As such, Collins warned of the liability involved in employing a bigger-than-life charismatic leader —personalities often brought in from outside the company or organization by a board seeking a high profile figure. The data suggested that a celebrity CEO brought in to turn around a flailing firm was usually not conducive to fostering the transition from
Good to Great
(Collins, 2001).
Why is this important?
Collins was asked and did not want to use "servant leader" for the Level 5 leader (Lichtenwalner, 2012). The team chose the term, “Level 5 Leadership” over Servant Leadership, in part, for fear readers would misinterpret the concept as “servitude” or “weakness.” In his mind, this position looked like something else. And so a new leadership phrase was born. What is interesting is that many but not all of the leaders profiled had a faith background. Lichtenwalner, (2012) in his research suggests that Servant Leadership is a key aspect of Level 5 Leadership. But perhaps it is not the technique but the heart and faith of the leader that had such a signifi.

Contribution
Scope of study
Master students are the main research objects, and the research scope is to investigate Chinese master students.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The conclusion of this paper is based on the principle of Aaker (1991) model.
It can be said that customers' attitude towards brands has an important impact on brand assets (Choi, Parsa, Sigala, & Putrevu, 2009).
Thwaites et al. (2012) found that when consumers' perception of brand cognition is positive, their purchase intention of brand will also be positive.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Brand loyalty
The study found that the creative consumption behavior of customers has a positive effect on the cultivation of brand loyalty, and the brand equity associated with high brand loyalty of consumers is higher than that of other brands (Atilgan, Aksoy, & Akinci, 2005).
Brand awareness
According to the research, when customers‘ brand awareness is enhanced and they have a certain understanding of brand awareness, the brand equity will also be further enhanced，It can be said that there is a significant influence relationship between brand awareness and brand equity (Pouromid & Iranzadeh, 2012).
LITERATURE REVIEW
Brand image
Most consumers will choose products with good brand image and feel that such products are of relatively high quality (Rubio, Oubina, & Villasenor, 2014).
Relevant studies, such as Faircloth et al. (2001), Rubio et al. (2014), and Vahie and Paswan (2006), have confirmed the positive influence of brand image on brand equity.
Brand equity is the added value of a product or a service, which mainly reflects the customer's evaluation and use of the brand, and also reflects the competitive advantage, price advantage and profitability brought by the brand to the enterp.

Compare and contrast the two poems below:
LOVE’S INCONSISTENCY
I find no peace, and all my war is done;
I fear and hope, I burn and freeze likewise
I fly above the wind, yet cannot rise;
And nought I have, yet all the world I seize on;
That looseth, nor locketh, holdeth me in prison, And holds me not, yet can I ’scape no wise;
Nor lets me live, nor die, at my devise,
And yet of death it giveth none occasion.
Without eyes I see, and without tongue I plain;
I wish to perish, yet I ask for health;
I love another, and yet I hate myself;
I feed in sorrow, and laugh in all my pain;
Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life,
And my delight is causer of my grief.
Petrarch
After great pain a formal feeling comes—
The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs;
The stiff Heart questions—was it He that bore?
And yesterday—or centuries before?
The feet mechanical go round
A wooden way
Of ground or air or ought
Regardless grown,
A quartz contentment like a stone.
This is the hour of lead
Remembered if outlived
As freezing persons recollect
The snow—
First chill, then stupor, then
The letting go
Emily Dickinson
4:
Compare and contrast these two pieces of music: see files attached below
Beethoven’s Violin Romance No. 2
Scott Joplin’s Maple Leaf Rag
5:

You will be asked to respond to five different scenarios. Answer each scenario (about 1 page per scenario). You will need to:
Decide what action the responding officer should take and provide an explanation/justification for your response.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The conclusion of this paper is based on the principle of Aaker (1991) model.
It can be said that customers' attitude towards brands has an important impact on brand assets (Choi, Parsa, Sigala, & Putrevu, 2009).
Thwaites et al. (2012) found that when consumers' perception of brand cognition is positive, their purchase intention of brand will also be positive.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Brand loyalty
The study found that the creative consumption behavior of customers has a positive effect on the cultivation of brand loyalty, and the brand equity associated with high brand loyalty of consumers is higher than that of other brands (Atilgan, Aksoy, & Akinci, 2005).
Brand awareness
According to the research, when customers‘ brand awareness is enhanced and they have a certain understanding of brand awareness, the brand equity will also be further enhanced，It can be said that there is a significant influence relationship between brand awareness and brand equity (Pouromid & Iranzadeh, 2012).
LITERATURE REVIEW
Brand image
Most consumers will choose products with good brand image and feel that such products are of relatively high quality (Rubio, Oubina, & Villasenor, 2014).
Relevant studies, such as Faircloth et al. (2001), Rubio et al. (2014), and Vahie and Paswan (2006), have confirmed the positive influence of brand image on brand equity.
Brand equity is the added value of a product or a service, which mainly reflects the customer's evaluation and use of the brand, and also reflects the competitive advantage, price advantage and profitability brought by the brand to the enterp.

LOVE’S INCONSISTENCY
I find no peace, and all my war is done;
I fear and hope, I burn and freeze likewise
I fly above the wind, yet cannot rise;
And nought I have, yet all the world I seize on;
That looseth, nor locketh, holdeth me in prison, And holds me not, yet can I ’scape no wise;
Nor lets me live, nor die, at my devise,
And yet of death it giveth none occasion.
Without eyes I see, and without tongue I plain;
I wish to perish, yet I ask for health;
I love another, and yet I hate myself;
I feed in sorrow, and laugh in all my pain;
Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life,
And my delight is causer of my grief.
Petrarch
After great pain a formal feeling comes—
The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs;
The stiff Heart questions—was it He that bore?
And yesterday—or centuries before?
The feet mechanical go round
A wooden way
Of ground or air or ought
Regardless grown,
A quartz contentment like a stone.
This is the hour of lead
Remembered if outlived
As freezing persons recollect
The snow—
First chill, then stupor, then
The letting go
Emily Dickinson

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
