Donegal and NW Holidaymaker Survey 2012Brian Deeney
- A study of over 1,000 holidaymakers in Donegal and Sligo found that the top things they did were hiking and visiting historic houses/castles. The most popular attractions were historic sites and gardens.
- Respondents rated the friendliness of locals and natural beauty very highly. The majority said they would recommend Donegal/Sligo, especially for its beautiful scenery, friendly people, peaceful atmosphere, things to do, and history/culture.
- Word of mouth, internet, and guidebooks were the most common ways people first learned about Donegal/Sligo as a destination. Most gathered information online from the Irish Tourist Board before their trip.
This document summarizes a study on employee motivation conducted at Hyderabad Industries Ltd in Thrissur, India. The study aimed to identify factors that motivate employees and improve organizational functions. It discusses research problems related to factors influencing motivation like pay, promotion opportunities, work conditions, leadership, and job security. The significance of the study and its objectives to evaluate motivation programs and provide suggestions are mentioned. Research hypotheses on the relationships between career development, interpersonal relationships and performance are stated. Theories of motivation discussed include Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Vroom's expectancy theory.
The document discusses predictions for the evolution of information technology by the year 2020, including wearable computers, transforming devices, technology controlled by thought, artificial intelligence, and electronic money. Computers are predicted to be worn as flexible materials and transform between devices. Thought-controlled technology would allow computers to be operated through brain signals. Artificial intelligence would give computers human-like thinking abilities. And electronic currency would allow money to be stored and used on mobile phones.
The document provides information about British rule in India from the 1600s to 1900s. It summarizes that the British East India Company gained control of much of India after a key victory in 1757. Over the decades, the Company took over more local administration and tax collection until it essentially governed large parts of India. There was resentment from Indians due to discrimination, economic policies that damaged local industries, and interference with cultural traditions. In 1858 the British government took direct control as imperial rulers after the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
This document provides guidelines for developing instructor-led training (ILT) and web-based training (WBT) courses for the National Training and Education Division (NTED).

11:30a.m.-12:00 p.m. Discussion, questions and answers and wrap-up
The document discusses various non-equity and equity-based modes for foreign manufacturing strategies without direct investment. Non-equity options include indirect exporting, direct exporting, turnkey projects, licensing, franchising, management contracts, and contract manufacturing. Equity-based options are wholly owned subsidiaries, joint ventures, and strategic alliances. Each option is described along with associated costs, control levels, and other considerations for using the different entry strategies without full foreign direct investment.
The document discusses corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. It provides background on CSR historically focusing on shareholder profit above all else. It transitions to discussing CSR now in terms of the triple bottom line of people, planet and profit. Sustainable development is introduced as development that meets current needs without compromising future generations by balancing environmental, economic and social impacts. Examples are given of how certain companies and products can have both positive and negative impacts across these three areas.
The document provides a proposal for a business management consulting engagement with a client. It outlines 20 proposed projects across various business functions including billing, accounts receivable, HR, performance management, and business operations. The projects range from implementing associate and administrative time tracking to redesigning billing processes to creating a new compensation plan aligned with performance. The consulting firm proposes tackling the projects sequentially over discrete sub-projects to provide structure and control over the engagement.
The document discusses the meaning of the phrase "swimming with sharks" and provides lessons on dealing with dangerous competitors or ruthless people. It means working with or competing against those who will stop at nothing to achieve their own goals and do not care who they hurt. Some key lessons include: facing fears head on with knowledge and courage rather than panicking; maintaining focus on the threat; getting into a defensive position and planning counterattacks; and accepting challenges to ultimately defeat competitors. The overall message is that challenges can be overcome and used to one's advantage through learning lessons from each experience.

This very short document appears to be a test and reassures that any future attempts will improve. In a single sentence it states that the current situation is a test and encourages by saying the next time will be better.
Kinetic Minds Primplife Presentation (1_29) [Autosaved] (1)Jasmine Jones
Jasmine Jones is a senior in college studying fashion and marketing. She is the president of a youth organization called WAIT that promotes smart decision making. She co-authored a self-help book called "How to Primp Life" for young women on various topics. The book gives advice on rules for life, types of men, and stories from other women. Jones hopes to expand the book into an after school curriculum to help empower youth. She is working on a new book called "#Primplife 101" featuring a character to teach lessons in a storybook format.
El proyecto "Por la salud, Santa Clara Participa" tiene como objetivo mejorar las condiciones de vida de los ciudadanos de Santa Clara a través de un proceso participativo que aborde temas de salud, según encuestas a 350 residentes. Los objetivos específicos son proporcionar un tejido social participativo y solidario y detectar las necesidades de salud sentidas por la población.
The document discusses Brinker Capital's multi-asset class investment philosophy and how it has been implemented through the Destinations program over 20 years. It shows that Destinations' disciplined approach to broad diversification across asset classes helped investors stay invested and achieve better returns than managing their own portfolios or investing only in fixed income. Even when following the strategy of investing $10,000 annually at the peak of the stock market each year, the Destinations Moderate portfolio generated over $800,000 in returns compared to $678,000 for a bond index fund over the same period. This highlights how outsourcing to professional money managers can help investors avoid emotional reactions and achieve their long-term financial goals.
O documento agradece a Deus por pequenas bênçãos do dia-a-dia como ter um emprego, amigos, comida, saúde e liberdade, reconhecendo que até os pequenos problemas significam que estamos vivos. Ele encoraja a sorrir mesmo diante das dificuldades e espalhar mensagens positivas para iluminar o dia de outras pessoas.
The document describes three approaches to implementing an ERP system - the "big bang" installs a single system across the entire organization at once, "franchising" uses independent systems in different units linked by common processes, and "slam dunk" phases the implementation of key modules. It also outlines the typical six phases of an ERP implementation project - initiation, planning, analysis and process design, realization, transition, and operation.
If the author was 22 again, they would focus on making the most of their studies before entering the work world, seek opportunities to advance their academics through scholarships, and would not have tried to work while completing their first degree to avoid distractions from romantic relationships.
