By 2018, employment in Georgia is projected to increase by over 100,000 workers in healthcare, business services, and education. The document discusses the need for a Career Academy to prepare students for these growing fields. A Career Academy would improve student learning through an integrated curriculum, provide work-based learning opportunities, and make students job-ready through STEM-driven courses teaching skills like critical thinking, teamwork, and problem solving.

Livet på det lutherske børnehjem i Indienindremission
En indsamling blandt Indre Missions venner har muliggjort opførelsen af børnehjemmet i den indiske landsby Gudipadu. Børnehjemmet drives af Indre Missions indiske medvandrer-bevægelse: Christhu Suda Communications & Ministries (CSCM). Billederne viser livet på børnehjemmet.
The study investigated why some brands have more "brand appeal" than others by examining how brands trigger 24 fundamental human drives. A survey of over 8,000 people measured how 195 brands activated the drives. Brands that triggered drives from categories like Vitality and Attraction, as well as unexpected drive combinations, had the highest appeal. The top appealing brands activated many drives, while the least appealing triggered few. Understanding the link between brand appeal and human emotions can improve brand strategy.

Attitude is a learned disposition that influences behavior and can be positive or negative. Attitudes are formed through life experiences and interactions with others. While attitudes can be difficult to change, it is possible to do so by introducing new, contradictory information and using rewards and punishments. Maintaining a positive attitude is important for success and positive relationships, as positive attitudes tend to lead to desirable outcomes.
Linking Development Cooperation and Transitional Justice for Sustainable Peac...Catrin Froehlich
This document discusses the links between transitional justice and economic development in Nepal. It argues that transitional justice efforts in Nepal have focused mainly on civil and political rights, but economic deprivation was a root cause of the conflict so transitional justice must also address violations of economic, social, and cultural rights. Unemployment, poverty, and an extractive state led to grievances that the Maoists exploited. The government has a responsibility to foster inclusive economic growth to guarantee these rights and create opportunities to prevent renewed conflict, but insecurity, corruption, and impunity have hampered the private sector and economic development in Nepal.

1) Various groups in Nepal including activists, business representatives, and friends/families of victims have been demanding rule of law and an end to violence.
2) Forced donations and illegal activities like extortion hamper Nepal's economy by reducing investment, increasing prices, and misallocating funds.
3) While businesses assume more industrial security would solve their problems, true security will only come when citizens feel safe everywhere, not just at factories. Broader social stability is needed.
4) The private sector plays a crucial role in bringing different stakeholders together, though more work is needed to address non-business issues.
10-08-15 No 10 The value of trust - NBI - THT - CF.PDFCatrin Froehlich
Trust is essential for businesses to flourish but is lacking in Nepal due to a lack of transparent laws and weak rule of law. This forces businesses to spend significant resources on security instead of more productive activities. If institutionalized trust existed through a strong legal system, businesses could save on security costs and plan ahead, enabling more trade, job creation and economic development. Both businesses and society would benefit from a strong private sector lobby promoting security and trust.

Pro Biotech Industries Pvt Ltd, a leader in the agriculture and animal husbandry sector in Nepal, has been conducting free trainings for poultry farmers for two years, with 20 trainings conducted so far. The trainings teach farmers about farming management, biosecurity, and preventing poultry diseases. This promotes strong links between the company and customers, promoting sales and loyalty, while also increasing poultry business security and incomes. It contributes to education and livelihoods in rural areas and community development. Similarly, pharmaceutical companies provide health camps and educational materials, promoting their brands but also disease prevention. There is potential for other industries like banks, remittance companies, automobile dealers, and construction companies to engage in

The document discusses how companies can improve their corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts to create more sustainable benefits. It argues that occasional, random donations do little beyond improving a company's public image. Instead, companies should carefully map their stakeholders, ensure CSR activities strategically benefit important stakeholders, and implement innovative, long-term solutions through stakeholder engagement. This approach strengthens performance, manages risks, and builds trust with stakeholders, improving business decisions and catalyzing positive change for both companies and society.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) applies to all businesses regardless of size. While larger multinational corporations tend to have more formal CSR strategies, smaller businesses must also be responsive to their stakeholders' needs. For small business owners like a village teashop owner, the dissatisfaction of even one influential customer could have severe consequences. Due to direct interactions with stakeholders, microbusinesses naturally have a responsibility to consider their business partners. As businesses grow in size and impact, their CSR strategies must adapt, such as defining operational standards and mitigating any negative environmental impacts. Ultimately, the concept of responsible business practices is important for organizations of all types and scales that depend on community goodwill.

The document discusses sustainable approaches to corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in local communities. It suggests that companies form long-term partnerships with communities and local organizations to jointly manage CSR projects, ensuring sustainability even if the company's financial situation changes. This approach distributes costs and benefits more equally while also building trust and cooperation. The document provides the examples of partnering with a community group to jointly run a health post and maintain it, as well as supporting local entrepreneurs through training, funding, or networks to create jobs and source locally.
