Introduction to Business English - Day 3
The article discusses the challenges of applying universal management theories across cultures. While modern management philosophies emphasize concepts like total quality management and just-in-time delivery, these approaches have failed in some contexts due to cultural differences. For example, pay-for-performance programs have not worked in Africa due to unspoken rules around rewards, and management by objectives has generally failed in Southern Europe as managers did not want to conform to predetermined guidelines. The concept of human resource management is also difficult to grasp in some cultures. Effective international managers must consider influences from their own culture, the local culture, and their organization's culture, as key concepts are experienced differently in every culture.

Here are the steps to solve this logic puzzle:
1. Albert knows the word immediately because he must have a unique letter - c, o, h, s, x, or i - that only appears in one word.
2. Bernard thinks for a moment, so he doesn't have a unique letter, but can eliminate words based on the unique letters Albert can't have.
3. Cheryl also thinks for a moment, so she doesn't have a unique letter either, but can determine the word with the process of elimination.
4. The only word left that is consistent with Albert, Bernard, and Cheryl's letters is "dog".
Therefore, the word they all knew is "dog

Natural birth techniques are various type such as/ water birth , alexender method, hypnosis, bradley method, lamaze method etcA Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

- 18. Making People Sensitize About the Use
- 19. • “I had always thought we used language to describe the world – now I was seeing that is not the case. To the contrary, it is through language that we create the world.”—Joseph Jaworski1 • Language serves many purposes. The foremost purpose of language is to have a successful communication. There is a diverse way of saying goodbye or biding adieu in English. These genres of biding adieu vary from class to class, region to region and many other parties related to it. Some of the phrases are used with very close people while the situation is an informal one. On the other hand, some of the phrases are suitable for a formal interaction. Again, many of the phrases may serve both the purposes: formal and informal. • The use of language may differ in one English- speaking region than the other. For instance, a teen in England may bid adieu to his friend saying "See you soon", but a teen in Latin America may say "Cheerio" for the same purpose. Therefore, differences come based on regional variety. • Many things influence our pattern and choice of language at any given moment2. In order to have a proper and successful communication, we must be careful about contextual situation, regional variety and right party the message we are delivering to. • Finally, different ways of saying goodbye are not supposed to be used everywhere. It should be used according to the suitability of using for the sake of easy comprehension and fruitful communication.
