This document provides an overview of a study conducted on IT Enabled Education. The objectives of the study were to understand the profile of potential customers for e-learning courses, identify popular course topics and durations, and determine course pricing. A questionnaire was administered to 200 employees across 6 call centers to collect data on demographics, preferred subjects, and factors considered when selecting online courses. Preliminary findings identified in-demand fields like management, engineering, and computers. The study aimed to inform an education company's development of an e-learning program.
The document discusses the debt crisis facing peripheral Eurozone countries like Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and Spain. While each country had different economic issues before the crisis, all are now dealing with large public debt burdens. The document analyzes whether the Eurozone constitutes an optimal currency area and concludes it does not fully meet the criteria. Monetary policy favored Germany over converging countries, exacerbating internal economic imbalances. For debt levels to stabilize, peripheral countries will need better fiscal discipline and time, as sudden austerity could be counterproductive.

Controlling is a management function that involves monitoring performance, ensuring objectives are met, and taking corrective action when needed. It establishes objectives and standards of measurement, measures actual performance, compares results to standards, and takes action to correct deviations. There are different types of controls including preliminary, concurrent, and postaction controls. Controls can be internal, allowing self-control, or external through direct managerial action. Organizational control systems include processes, policies, performance management, and compensation.
The Impairment Discrimination Act 1995 introduced new regulations requiring local authorities and private hire owners/taxis to accommodate disabled customers without extra charges.
