Advantages And Disadvantages Of Gics
Global In–house Centers or GICs in India are 3–4 times more cost effective than their western
counterparts, but when it comes to automating processes, there's still a long way to go. While we are
steadily moving forward to a time when automated solutions can be implemented on a broader scale
across industries, GICs in the Indian market right now also have a long way to go. Globally, this
space has a $34 billion valuation, with India occupying a mammoth 40% of market share. With the
implementation of AI, machine learning and cognitive abilities, GICs in India can massively ramp
up their market share even further.
Potential Areas for Automation
The very nature of GICs implies that they provide support to the core business of the parent
organization, hence they cannot afford to overlook investments towards technology and automation
to improve productivity. This automation is usually triggered by a few necessities and they are also
applicable in order for automation tools and processes to be feasible and successful. GICs thus need
their automation to fulfill three key parameters – it should tackle tasks that a majority of people
would not be inclined or motivated to perform, it should provide the most bang for the buck in the
form of tangible ROI, and it should be future–looking and scalable. Otherwise it simply isn't worth
the investment of time and money that it requires. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This is thanks to the advent of robotic processes and cognitive learning. Data is key here, and GICs
have such critical data (especially in comparison to third party providers when it comes to business
sensitive data) in abundance. They can then utilize this data to get insights which can then be used to
develop rules, which in turn can determine the success of

As the world and business tends to evolve, now more rapidly then ever, the company is able to stay
ahead by driving the change and evolving faster then the competition. Changing and service are not
the only keys to success as the third core value is to "create fun and a little weirdness". This is
another driving force that Zappo possesses that differentiates itself from other companies. The
company culture embraces fun and humor. Zappos strives to have a unique and memorable
personality. There company culture is what makes it successful, and they believe that embracing
their diversity and each person's individuality will help with creativity. Through this culture a
positive result has been the support of people to "think outside the box". When you are combining
weirdness and having a little fun at work, it is a win– win for everyone. Employees are more
engaged in the work that they do, and the company as a whole becomes more innovative. Zappos is
a risk taking organization where making mistakes is encouraged. You do not hear that too often, as
we discussed in class mistakes are frown upon, at Apple the employees are sometimes beaten! At

Understanding Of Fidelity Research As A Comprehensive...
Purpose The primary purpose for this document is to establish a shared foundational understanding
of fidelity research as it pertains to the Whole School Whole Child (WSWC) model and create
shared language for related concepts. Overview City Year has established the importance of fidelity,
or program integrity, by including it in the FY12 Highest Priority Goals (HPG #1d). Fidelity has
many nuances for a program being implemented in so many locations by so many providers with
variable local conditions. Due to this complexity, we will reframe it to focus on it as uniformity of
purpose and effort. Rather than passively attempting to conform to the model and not understanding
it in within the local context, every individual who supports design and implementation must deepen
their knowledge of what the value drivers, or core components, are within the model so that they can
make reasonable decisions when a local challenge or suboptimal condition emerges. The following
briefing outlines key concepts, assets and milestones in building a comprehensive approach to
increasing quality of implementation through decreasing unnecessary variability and complexity.
The goals of the initial discovery phase include: Establish shared language around fidelity, as well as
clear, concise, reliable and valid measures Clarify the list of comprehensive core components within
the WSWC model Identify acceptable adaptation types that address local contextual differences and

Essay about The Vigilance Project Case Study
The Vigilance Project
I. Rationale/Background
PharMed International
PharMed International is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. It was established
two years ago when ValMed and PharmCO merged. PharMed is obligated to keep detailed records
of how its drugs perform by relying on sophisticated database such as the Vigilance which will be
used by division employees around the globe. The core team responsible for designing and
implementing Vigilance has three members in the United States: Frank Lanigan, Carol Reynolds,

The subteams continued to fall behind schedule, but the delivery date remained firm. The timeline
slippages were obvious, but almost no one was willing to discuss them openly–least of all the
Americans on the core team. According to Mike Powell, there was nothing subtle about the
mounting stress and confusion: "Tensions had gotten to the point where people were actually
storming out of meetings because they were frustrated by what they were being asked to do on short
notice or without sufficient information."
In September, the U.S. core team members felt they needed to escalate their concerns. After
consulting with Carol and Mike, Frank approached Lance Paulson, the head of the Drug Safety
Division. According to Frank, Lance, who was also based in the U.S., took his concerns seriously
and promised to act. "I assumed," said Frank, "that meant Lance would work through Didier,
perhaps coaching and counseling him on how to open up dialogue and communication within the
core team and throughout the project overall." Instead, Lance chose another approach. He sent an e–
mail message to the entire division, not just those working on the Vigilance project. The message
was sent under his name and that of his deputy director, Francine D'Aubigne, who was located in
France. The e–mail message was a surprise to Vigilance team members, and to others throughout the

The Implementation Of International Accounting Standards
INHERENT PROBLEMS.
Even if uniformity were to be reached, the IOSCO disclosure standards do not encircle all of the
information required of an easy access to cross–border capital markets.
The IOSCO plan does not cover accounting standards.(66) These standards are important for
providing financial statements in a scheme that are prepared in the similar manner as those by
issuers from other countries. The development of international accounting standards is the subject of
a distinct project by IOSCO, and many accounting professionals who are concomitant with that
undertaking are hopeful that a satisfactory solution is within reach.(67) Supposing, however, that an
agreement is possible on a core set of financial standards and that they too are embraced by
securities regulators as compulsory for foreign issuers, the road to commonality has at least two
other impediments. The first problem derive from the flexibility that the IOSCO disclosure
standards unequivocally grant to the securities regulators of the host country in a cross–border share
offering. These standards cogitate that the core disclosure document will undertake "a minimum of
tailoring to fit national requirements. (68) But the extent of national tailoring allowed under those
standards could be extensive. The IOSCO standards specifically recognized that additional
disclosure by foreign issuers will sometimes be essential in certain host countries because of local

The Intervention Plan By Hofstede's Intervention Plan
The Intervention plan, written for the board of directors of Bank X, consists of two parts. The first
part includes a diagnosis of information which define the core issues that should be addressed, and
secondly provide a fitting intervention plan to guide Bank X into the right direction.
The board presented a set of problems, what we should solve, the most concerning are the lack of
loyalty among the employees and the lack of honesty of the Bank towards its environment. We used
two diagnostic approaches to reach the core of the problems Bank X faces, the Onion model
invented by Hofstede, which help us to understand the different layers of the culture in the bank and
the Behaviour approach model, which aims to present a clear summary of the behaviour of your
colleagues. The diagnosed core issue, the outcome of the analysis, is related to the organizational
culture of Bank X. This connection ultimately leads to the question: How can the management of
Bank X overcome these cultural oracles concerning their lack of loyalty, which mainly results
because of the high fluctuation, the high risk–taking of the employees and their self–interest and on

Ducati : A Small Company Manufacturing Electrical...
Ducati began as a small company manufacturing electrical components for radios. Twenty years
later, after World War II, they launched a small motor to augment bicycles. Soon thereafter, Ducati
began producing a frame to pair with their small engine. Increasing popularity of their small
motorcycle encouraged the development of two different engine sizes. Within the next few years,
Ducati introduced the Desmodromic system to increase power and performance. This innovation has
remained central to Ducati's product lines to this day. Much of their niche success has drawn on
notions of high performance, emotional response, nostalgia, and style. There have been ups and
downs in Ducati's history, but this analysis will focus on the "Turnaround" period from 1996 to 2001

The Family Bond Between Bone And Her Mother Dorothy...
Identity is an essential part of the human personality; the first stages of identity development often
form the core and foundation of who a person will become. While there are multitudes of
contributing factors in the formation of identity, such as class, ethnicity, and social norms, familial
influence is the most evidenced factor in Dorothy Allison 's Bastard out of Carolina. The core
identity of the main character and narrator of the book, Bone, is largely influenced through the slow
breaking of the maternal bond and the horrid abuse by Daddy Glen.
When Bastard out of Carolina first begins Bone is narrating the story; however, the book is not yet
seen from her viewpoint, but rather from varied perspectives or as a pure narrative. It is not until
chapter two that the point of view becomes Bone 's permanently. The reason behind this transition
from various perspectives to Bone 's is the maternal bond between Bone and her mother Anney. The
bond between mother and daughter is still at its peak in the first chapter, leading to an extreme lack
of identity in Bone. This utter lack of self prevents the viewpoint from being Bone 's until the
second chapter when she first shows signs of becoming an individual.
Bone truly begins her journey towards discovering her identity the moment she starts hanging
around her uncles, and has the thought: "Some days I would grind my teeth, wishing I had been born
a boy" (23). Her thought may seem simple and unremarkable, but it is in fact the

Wal Mart 's Core Competencies Essay
There is a growing body of literature that recognises the importance of Resource Based View (RBV)
in strategic management. This paper attempts to identify Wal–Mart's core competencies, applying
RBV literature such as VRIO framework with supporting evidence from "Wal–Mart Stores in 2003"
case study. RBV suggests that each firm acquires a collection of capabilities, which can be
mobilised by strategists to gain competitive advantage (McGee et al., 2005). In other words, a firm
can be viewed as a bundle of resources, which are the drivers of strategy and growth in a firm. When
creating a unique product, a firm also develops a unique competence (Mintzberg et al., 2009).
Prahalad and Hamel (1990) ascertained that three tests could be used to determine a core
competence. Foremost, a core competence should provide a promising access to a variety of
markets. Second, a core competence would make a substantial contribution to the end product in
view of customers. Lastly, a core competence should be unique, hard to imitate. In fulfilling the
three tests, a resource would be a core competence of a firm. Moreover, to be a sustainable
competitive advantage (SCA), Barney (1991) stated that a corporation's resources should consist of
four characteristics: (i) valuable, in adding value–creating strategy to the product, not in the
monetary sense, (ii) rare, in view of the business' current market position, (iii) imperfectly imitable
and (iv) non–substitutable. Furthermore, a firm's

Pros And Cons Of Capitalism
One form of capitalism is welfare capitalism. For a long period of time benefits have been given to
people to help them with food and basic necessities, without a charge. This service is funded
through the form of taxation. This helps people with disabilities or jobless, and it helps people that
are in a deep form of poverty. Some pros of welfare include: providing assistance when families
need it the most. Sometimes family members lose their jobs or a sudden death happens to where
they find themselves needing the assistance the most. By offering an assistance like this, people can
get the help they need, so that it can help them get back on their feet. Another pro is, welfare can
help with reducing crime. Sometimes in desperate situations, people find themselves doing whatever
they can, even if it means breaking the law. This way by providing the help that they need, this will
reduce some of that desperation and preventing the crime. Last but not least, it helps the children.
The amount of kids that would experience hunger without the help of welfare, would be extremely
significant. This way we can help world hunger one child at a time. It's really hard to say whether
welfare is a good form of capitalism or not because there are so many good pros and cons that make
this topic so debatable. I truly don't think that people will ever decide whether we need it or not but I
do also believe that its doing better than harm. Yes, we do have people that abuse the system and do

of these devices to access files remotely, giving hackers the opportunity to breach them. After a
hacker gains access to a home's internal network, they can then collect passwords and financial
information (Turner 1). The essence of Turner's argument is that by using internet–connected smart
home technology, hackers have an easier means of accessing sensitive information.
However, as home technology advances, security measures are advancing as well. Michael
Passingham's article titled "The Norton Core is a crazy–looking, ultra–secure router" presents a new
line of defense against home hackers. Passingham states:
Symantec says the Core will be constantly updated with a huge database of smart home devices and
will automatically quarantine any device that's running firmware known to be a security risk. You'll

Comedogenic Rating Essay
This past holiday season I was lucky enough to receive a gift–card to Sephora, which meant I had
some choices to make. After an embarrassing amount of research I ended up buying the Josie Maran
Whimsical Wonder Argan Oil Skincare Essentials set. While mine is a bit different from the one
online, I am extremely happy with my purchase! Every winter I try to incorporate oils in my skin
care routine to combat dryness. However after last winter's conditions I decided to amp up my
routine this year. I had used Josie Maran's cleansing oil in the past and really liked it, so I was
hoping this set would leave my feeling the same way. My essentials set came with a moisturizing
serum, a daily moisturizer with SPF, a "intensive creamy oil", whipped body butter, and 100% pure

What exactly is a comedogenic rating? Basically it is a rating on a scale from 0 to 5 that's suppose to
tell you how poor clogging an ingredient will be. Because argan oil is commonly used for skin care,
its important to know that the oleic acid (highest concentration fatty acid) found within the
compound causes it to have a decently high comedogenic rating. This means that if you are prone to
acne or clogged pores easily, maybe keep argan oil off your face. However some sources have sited
that argan oil can be beneficial for acne because it keeps the skin nourished and moisturized, so
trying it out will be the best way to know if it's suited for your skin! It is also good to note that

Neoliberalism
As transnational corporations (TNCs) grow more powerful than some nations and dominate the
world market, governments favor neoliberal policies. Neoliberalism, a movement toward less
government involvement in the regulation of markets, illustrates the push for open markets and free

possess the means to adopt neoliberal policies without the fear of being exploited. Without state
intervention, the TNCs form monopolies and outsource labor to the cheapest bidder without concern

achieve this goal was to stimulate demand on older and lesser–know movie titles. Shifting demand

asset utilization. This produced increased margins and profitability.
To balance demand Netflix developed a proprietary recommendation system. The system enabled

Tanglewood should focus on attracting employees that fit its niche market. Employees may better
serve customers by having local knowledge such as the best hiking routes, bike trails, camp sites;

so the company should be able to attract the talent it needs locally.
Overstaff or Understaff
Tanglewood should continue to overstaff. There is currently an abundance of department managers
and assistant mangers that may at times border on surplus. However, Tanglewood can benefit by
having a stockpile of talent by ensuring smooth succession in case of turnover, retirement or
promotion. Overstaffing also ensures that trained staff is available during peak seasonal periods to
ensure quality and the superior customer experience that consistent with the company's values.

Tanglewood has emphasized employee participation and teams since its inception and one of the
most important cultural elements of the organization is the commitment to straight talk in all areas
of business. Because the corporate staffing function has not been strong, in the short–term,

The Core : A Scientific Opera
The Core: A Scientific Opera
A very critical scientific disaster film, The Core (2003) is a masterpiece in style, delivery, and
concept. This tells the heart–wracking story of a potentially cataclysmic event that affects the entire
world and a group of scientists' race against time to avert it. If done so correctly, they will save the
world. If they fail or make a mistake, the entire world could eventually go extinct. The Core is able
to revel in the possibilities of different scenarios involving a single object. Directed by Jon Amiel,
The Core manages to challenge the conventions of science fiction films by introducing disaster as a
prelude to conflict, which translates to an adventurous trek that quickly becomes perilous. The film
starts off with a scene of an office building during a Green World Day parade in Boston. A secretary
walks into a room met with employees. Suddenly, he starts to space out and collapses toward the
table, much to everyone's trepidation. While that situation is developing, other incidents are
occurring around the city; cars are unexplainably crashing into each other, sending the neighborhood
into panic as the establishing shot pans. It cuts to a lecture at the University of Chicago, where the

Importance Of Communication : Barriers To Effective...
7: Business: How do you weave strategy into your work team's day–to–day conversation? Include a
discussion of three barriers that kill communication at work.
Explanation
In order to guide behavior, it is useful to implement certain strategies into day–to–day
conversations. For one, having a Commander's intent, the desired end state of an operation (a core
goal), helps guide a team's coordination. Once every member of the team knows and understands the
Commander's intent, they can make many any decision regarding the team's future. Incorporating
certain strategies, such as the Commander's intent into a team's day–to–day conversations, can drive
actions that are beneficial to the team's success . However, simply implementing strategies isn't the
whole story. Unluckily there are barriers that inhibit effective communication.
Barrier 1 The first barrier in effective communication in the workplace is ambiguity. Mission
statements, visions, and even strategies are often ambiguous to the point of being meaningless.
Sticky ideas are best explained in terms of sensory information human actions. Clear and sticky
ideas are full of concrete images that complement the way our brains are wired to remember data.
Communication in the workplace often goes awry because it is often ambiguous. Speaking
concretely is the way to ensure that a vision, a mission statement, that an idea will make sense and
mean the same to everyone in the team. Opaque, abstract ideas do not captivate people.

Is Seagram A Long History Of Success From The Company And...
Definition of Project: Seagram has enjoyed a long history of success from its inception in 1924 with
a single distillery in Canada to a world–wise company. During this timeframe, global recognition
has afforded Seagram the opportunity to grow to 14,000 employees as well as creatively diversify in
a manner than many companies could not imagine. Unique purchases of oil companies as well as
what some might argue to be more logical partnerships like fruit juices such as Dole Food Company,
Inc. created continued accomplishments that would shore up the company and create a secure future.
In addition calculated investments with DuPont, MCA Inc., which includes Universal Studios and
them parks as well as electric companies build an impressive portfolio for Seagram as well. We
know that highly diversified organizations are more successful, "firms whose business units are
highly related to each other, such as in a focused company, are outperformed by those whose
business units are moderately unrelated to each other" (Graham, 2012, p.14). Although this
argument makes little sense, Seagram has, for years, experienced the benefits of being highly
diversified. With the strength of diversification Seagram has created over its long life offers a firm
foundation for future growth and stability. The objective of this current project is to evaluate the
assets and design a plan that will utilize the strengths of the organization while shoring up new
systems to realign Seagram for maximum growth

Advantages And Disadvantages Of GIC Automation

  • 1. Advantages And Disadvantages Of Gics Global In–house Centers or GICs in India are 3–4 times more cost effective than their western counterparts, but when it comes to automating processes, there's still a long way to go. While we are steadily moving forward to a time when automated solutions can be implemented on a broader scale across industries, GICs in the Indian market right now also have a long way to go. Globally, this space has a $34 billion valuation, with India occupying a mammoth 40% of market share. With the implementation of AI, machine learning and cognitive abilities, GICs in India can massively ramp up their market share even further. Potential Areas for Automation The very nature of GICs implies that they provide support to the core business of the parent organization, hence they cannot afford to overlook investments towards technology and automation to improve productivity. This automation is usually triggered by a few necessities and they are also applicable in order for automation tools and processes to be feasible and successful. GICs thus need their automation to fulfill three key parameters – it should tackle tasks that a majority of people would not be inclined or motivated to perform, it should provide the most bang for the buck in the form of tangible ROI, and it should be future–looking and scalable. Otherwise it simply isn't worth the investment of time and money that it requires. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is thanks to the advent of robotic processes and cognitive learning. Data is key here, and GICs have such critical data (especially in comparison to third party providers when it comes to business sensitive data) in abundance. They can then utilize this data to get insights which can then be used to develop rules, which in turn can determine the success of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Zappos revenue grew from $1.6 million in 2000 to $1.64 billion in 2010. How can a company focused on happiness be successful? Zappos corporate culture and focus on customer satisfaction has made it both successful and a model for other companies. Zappos focus on stakeholder happiness contributed to its success. Tony Hseih in his book Delivering Happiness says, "It's a brand about happiness, whether to customers or employees or even vendors" (Delivering Happiness) In 2000, entrepreneur Tony Hsieh became the company's CEO. Hsieh was 26 at the time and surprisingly was not sold on the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... As the world and business tends to evolve, now more rapidly then ever, the company is able to stay ahead by driving the change and evolving faster then the competition. Changing and service are not the only keys to success as the third core value is to "create fun and a little weirdness". This is another driving force that Zappo possesses that differentiates itself from other companies. The company culture embraces fun and humor. Zappos strives to have a unique and memorable personality. There company culture is what makes it successful, and they believe that embracing their diversity and each person's individuality will help with creativity. Through this culture a positive result has been the support of people to "think outside the box". When you are combining weirdness and having a little fun at work, it is a win– win for everyone. Employees are more engaged in the work that they do, and the company as a whole becomes more innovative. Zappos is a risk taking organization where making mistakes is encouraged. You do not hear that too often, as we discussed in class mistakes are frown upon, at Apple the employees are sometimes beaten! At Zappos, call center workers are prompted to try new things to delight customers. Managers are asked to take their team members out of the office as a way to get them to think about their jobs differently and create stronger bonds. There main goal is to be ...

Purpose The primary purpose for this document is to establish a shared foundational understanding of fidelity research as it pertains to the Whole School Whole Child (WSWC) model and create shared language for related concepts. Overview City Year has established the importance of fidelity, or program integrity, by including it in the FY12 Highest Priority Goals (HPG #1d). Fidelity has many nuances for a program being implemented in so many locations by so many providers with variable local conditions. Due to this complexity, we will reframe it to focus on it as uniformity of purpose and effort. Rather than passively attempting to conform to the model and not understanding it in within the local context, every individual who supports design and implementation must deepen their knowledge of what the value drivers, or core components, are within the model so that they can make reasonable decisions when a local challenge or suboptimal condition emerges. The following briefing outlines key concepts, assets and milestones in building a comprehensive approach to increasing quality of implementation through decreasing unnecessary variability and complexity. The goals of the initial discovery phase include: Establish shared language around fidelity, as well as clear, concise, reliable and valid measures Clarify the list of comprehensive core components within the WSWC model Identify acceptable adaptation types that address local contextual differences and develop examples ...

I'm going to look at Band 2 within the professional area of Learning and Development. I think the following 4 areas are most relevant, and in order, to my current role of Trainer at the British Council: 6.4.2. Facilitate internal leaning events and workshops, delivering content as appropriate. A major part of my role is the development and delivery of training materials. This involves a degree of event and people management, but essentially I must be able to provide the knowledge that the organisation needs in a digestible format. 6.11.2. Continually seek ways to improve learning and talent development activity to best meet individual or managers requirements. In a global organisation with a range of different needs and cultural approaches, flexibility from the trainer is imperative, as is the need to change and adapt where required. It's important to address the immediate but also longer term needs of learning and development across my organisation and analyse these in tandem with HR and the teams themselves to develop a strategy for improvement that fits in with the organisational, as well as team objectives. 6.9.1.

  • 9. Essay about The Vigilance Project Case Study The Vigilance Project I. Rationale/Background PharMed International PharMed International is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. It was established two years ago when ValMed and PharmCO merged. PharMed is obligated to keep detailed records of how its drugs perform by relying on sophisticated database such as the Vigilance which will be used by division employees around the globe. The core team responsible for designing and implementing Vigilance has three members in the United States: Frank Lanigan, Carol Reynolds, and Mike Powell; and four members based in France:Didier Amrani, Karine Bareaut, Merline Bucquet and Fabrice Lemaire. In addition to the core team, five subteams were formed. Overall, half of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The subteams continued to fall behind schedule, but the delivery date remained firm. The timeline slippages were obvious, but almost no one was willing to discuss them openly–least of all the Americans on the core team. According to Mike Powell, there was nothing subtle about the mounting stress and confusion: "Tensions had gotten to the point where people were actually storming out of meetings because they were frustrated by what they were being asked to do on short notice or without sufficient information." In September, the U.S. core team members felt they needed to escalate their concerns. After consulting with Carol and Mike, Frank approached Lance Paulson, the head of the Drug Safety Division. According to Frank, Lance, who was also based in the U.S., took his concerns seriously and promised to act. "I assumed," said Frank, "that meant Lance would work through Didier, perhaps coaching and counseling him on how to open up dialogue and communication within the core team and throughout the project overall." Instead, Lance chose another approach. He sent an e– mail message to the entire division, not just those working on the Vigilance project. The message was sent under his name and that of his deputy director, Francine D'Aubigne, who was located in France. The e–mail message was a surprise to Vigilance team members, and to others throughout the Drug ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

"Ohh I'm so excited to go to England!" I said finally. "Me too, especially after everything we've learned about wizards." Piper said. "Wait, how long have you guys known about wizards?" Percy asked.

"Stop fighting" Piper said. "Oh Annabeth, look in the trunk by your bed" She added. Annabeth quickly sat up and opened the trunk beside her bed. Inside were a bunch of robes, tons of books, and a long black package. Quickly she opened the long black box and took out her wand. Admiring it for a while before she noticed a book and a small note still inside to package. The title of the book was "A Wanderful Journey" by Garrick Ollivander. She then opened up the small note

  • 17. The Implementation Of International Accounting Standards INHERENT PROBLEMS. Even if uniformity were to be reached, the IOSCO disclosure standards do not encircle all of the information required of an easy access to cross–border capital markets. The IOSCO plan does not cover accounting standards.(66) These standards are important for providing financial statements in a scheme that are prepared in the similar manner as those by issuers from other countries. The development of international accounting standards is the subject of a distinct project by IOSCO, and many accounting professionals who are concomitant with that undertaking are hopeful that a satisfactory solution is within reach.(67) Supposing, however, that an agreement is possible on a core set of financial standards and that they too are embraced by securities regulators as compulsory for foreign issuers, the road to commonality has at least two other impediments. The first problem derive from the flexibility that the IOSCO disclosure standards unequivocally grant to the securities regulators of the host country in a cross–border share offering. These standards cogitate that the core disclosure document will undertake "a minimum of tailoring to fit national requirements. (68) But the extent of national tailoring allowed under those standards could be extensive. The IOSCO standards specifically recognized that additional disclosure by foreign issuers will sometimes be essential in certain host countries because of local custom ...

The first part includes a diagnosis of information which define the core issues that should be addressed, and secondly provide a fitting intervention plan to guide Bank X into the right direction. The board presented a set of problems, what we should solve, the most concerning are the lack of loyalty among the employees and the lack of honesty of the Bank towards its environment. We used two diagnostic approaches to reach the core of the problems Bank X faces, the Onion model invented by Hofstede, which help us to understand the different layers of the culture in the bank and the Behaviour approach model, which aims to present a clear summary of the behaviour of your colleagues. The diagnosed core issue, the outcome of the analysis, is related to the organizational culture of Bank X.

Twenty years later, after World War II, they launched a small motor to augment bicycles. Soon thereafter, Ducati began producing a frame to pair with their small engine. Increasing popularity of their small motorcycle encouraged the development of two different engine sizes. Within the next few years, Ducati introduced the Desmodromic system to increase power and performance. This innovation has remained central to Ducati's product lines to this day. Much of their niche success has drawn on notions of high performance, emotional response, nostalgia, and style. There have been ups and downs in Ducati's history, but this analysis will focus on the "Turnaround" period from 1996 to 2001 and their possible strategic options for the future. 1 – Innovation Value Chain In 1996, Federico Minoli was hired as Ducati's new CEO. He spared no time in replacing the incumbent top–tier management, but he left the rest of the company largely untouched. Internally, he believed their biggest asset was the creativity of the company's skilled engineers. Minoli's strategy was to encourage their creativity, increase research and development, and reinforce the brand with the "World of Ducati".

  • 29. The Family Bond Between Bone And Her Mother Dorothy... Identity is an essential part of the human personality; the first stages of identity development often form the core and foundation of who a person will become. While there are multitudes of contributing factors in the formation of identity, such as class, ethnicity, and social norms, familial influence is the most evidenced factor in Dorothy Allison 's Bastard out of Carolina. The core identity of the main character and narrator of the book, Bone, is largely influenced through the slow breaking of the maternal bond and the horrid abuse by Daddy Glen. When Bastard out of Carolina first begins Bone is narrating the story; however, the book is not yet seen from her viewpoint, but rather from varied perspectives or as a pure narrative. It is not until chapter two that the point of view becomes Bone 's permanently. The reason behind this transition from various perspectives to Bone 's is the maternal bond between Bone and her mother Anney. The bond between mother and daughter is still at its peak in the first chapter, leading to an extreme lack of identity in Bone. This utter lack of self prevents the viewpoint from being Bone 's until the second chapter when she first shows signs of becoming an individual. Bone truly begins her journey towards discovering her identity the moment she starts hanging around her uncles, and has the thought: "Some days I would grind my teeth, wishing I had been born a boy" (23).

  • 33. Wal Mart 's Core Competencies Essay There is a growing body of literature that recognises the importance of Resource Based View (RBV) in strategic management. This paper attempts to identify Wal–Mart's core competencies, applying RBV literature such as VRIO framework with supporting evidence from "Wal–Mart Stores in 2003" case study. RBV suggests that each firm acquires a collection of capabilities, which can be mobilised by strategists to gain competitive advantage (McGee et al., 2005). In other words, a firm can be viewed as a bundle of resources, which are the drivers of strategy and growth in a firm. When creating a unique product, a firm also develops a unique competence (Mintzberg et al., 2009). Prahalad and Hamel (1990) ascertained that three tests could be used to determine a core competence. Foremost, a core competence should provide a promising access to a variety of markets. Second, a core competence would make a substantial contribution to the end product in view of customers. Lastly, a core competence should be unique, hard to imitate. In fulfilling the three tests, a resource would be a core competence of a firm. Moreover, to be a sustainable competitive advantage (SCA), Barney (1991) stated that a corporation's resources should consist of four characteristics: (i) valuable, in adding value–creating strategy to the product, not in the monetary sense, (ii) rare, in view of the business' current market position, (iii) imperfectly imitable and (iv) non–substitutable.

  • 35. Pros And Cons Of Capitalism One form of capitalism is welfare capitalism. For a long period of time benefits have been given to people to help them with food and basic necessities, without a charge. This service is funded through the form of taxation. This helps people with disabilities or jobless, and it helps people that are in a deep form of poverty. Some pros of welfare include: providing assistance when families need it the most. Sometimes family members lose their jobs or a sudden death happens to where they find themselves needing the assistance the most. By offering an assistance like this, people can get the help they need, so that it can help them get back on their feet. Another pro is, welfare can help with reducing crime. Sometimes in desperate situations, people find themselves doing whatever they can, even if it means breaking the law. This way by providing the help that they need, this will reduce some of that desperation and preventing the crime. Last but not least, it helps the children. The amount of kids that would experience hunger without the help of welfare, would be extremely significant. This way we can help world hunger one child at a time. It's really hard to say whether welfare is a good form of capitalism or not because there are so many good pros and cons that make this topic so debatable. I truly don't think that people will ever decide whether we need it or not but I do also believe that its doing better than harm. Yes, we do have people that abuse the system and do ...

In an article by Adam Turner, titled "Smart technology may make your home a net target", Turner explains the dangers of using smart home devices. How do these dangers affect smart home technology? To explain the issues, Turner relays the knowledge of AVG security adviser Michael McKinnon. Mckinnon claims that people use most of these devices to access files remotely, giving hackers the opportunity to breach them. After a hacker gains access to a home's internal network, they can then collect passwords and financial information (Turner 1). The essence of Turner's argument is that by using internet–connected smart home technology, hackers have an easier means of accessing sensitive information. However, as home technology advances, security measures are advancing as well. Michael Passingham's article titled "The Norton Core is a crazy–looking, ultra–secure router" presents a new line of defense against home hackers.

This tells the heart–wracking story of a potentially cataclysmic event that affects the entire world and a group of scientists' race against time to avert it. If done so correctly, they will save the world. If they fail or make a mistake, the entire world could eventually go extinct. The Core is able to revel in the possibilities of different scenarios involving a single object. Directed by Jon Amiel, The Core manages to challenge the conventions of science fiction films by introducing disaster as a prelude to conflict, which translates to an adventurous trek that quickly becomes perilous. The film starts off with a scene of an office building during a Green World Day parade in Boston. A secretary walks into a room met with employees. Suddenly, he starts to space out and collapses toward the table, much to everyone's trepidation. While that situation is developing, other incidents are occurring around the city; cars are unexplainably crashing into each other, sending the neighborhood into panic as the establishing shot pans. It cuts to a lecture at the University of Chicago, where the professor, Dr. Josh Keyes, portrayed by Aaron Eckhart, is teaching a geophysics course to a relatively small crowd of students. Suddenly, two agents enter the classroom and specifically call for Dr. Keyes; they escort him out of the campus, as Dr. Keyes is ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Include a discussion of three barriers that kill communication at work. Explanation In order to guide behavior, it is useful to implement certain strategies into day–to–day conversations. For one, having a Commander's intent, the desired end state of an operation (a core goal), helps guide a team's coordination. Once every member of the team knows and understands the Commander's intent, they can make many any decision regarding the team's future. Incorporating certain strategies, such as the Commander's intent into a team's day–to–day conversations, can drive actions that are beneficial to the team's success . However, simply implementing strategies isn't the whole story. Unluckily there are barriers that inhibit effective communication. Barrier 1 The first barrier in effective communication in the workplace is ambiguity. Mission statements, visions, and even strategies are often ambiguous to the point of being meaningless. Sticky ideas are best explained in terms of sensory information human actions. Clear and sticky ideas are full of concrete images that complement the way our brains are wired to remember data.

Leadership in the Coast Guard is the process of guiding and inspiring others toward closer adherence to the core values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty. Leadership is a set of behaviors rather than just a set of ideals. Ideals are good, but ideals without the corresponding behaviors are useless. The best way to guide others is to show by example; a true leader not only speaks out in favor of the core values, but also exhibits them in their daily life. 2.

I believe that our Founding Fathers understood the allure of power that any individual might have, but also the strength of it's citizenry in leading the country in the right direction. Another principle that our Founding Fathers understood was that an overly energetic government was not necessarily a good government.

There is a huge difference between a "list" of things to learn and a curriculum of study. As the author suggests in the article "Rewriting the Common Core State Standards for Tomorrow's Literacies" people need to veer away from the right or wrong of the standards and focus on what the content of the standards are outlining that educators teach.

Definition of Project: Seagram has enjoyed a long history of success from its inception in 1924 with a single distillery in Canada to a world–wise company. During this timeframe, global recognition has afforded Seagram the opportunity to grow to 14,000 employees as well as creatively diversify in a manner than many companies could not imagine. Unique purchases of oil companies as well as what some might argue to be more logical partnerships like fruit juices such as Dole Food Company, Inc. created continued accomplishments that would shore up the company and create a secure future. In addition calculated investments with DuPont, MCA Inc., which includes Universal Studios and them parks as well as electric companies build an impressive portfolio for Seagram as well. We know that highly diversified organizations are more successful, "firms whose business units are highly related to each other, such as in a focused company, are outperformed by those whose business units are moderately unrelated to each other" (Graham, 2012, p.14). Although this argument makes little sense, Seagram has, for years, experienced the benefits of being highly diversified. With the strength of diversification Seagram has created over its long life offers a firm foundation for future growth and stability. The objective of this current project is to evaluate the assets and design a plan that will utilize the strengths of the organization while shoring up new systems to realign Seagram for maximum growth ...
