Case study1.0
This case study examines the recapitalization of Bankgesellschaft Berlin following a series of massive loans to property developers that put the bank in crisis. The bank aimed to restructure itself and privatize in order to exit the crisis. Two alternative courses of action were proposed: 1) implementing strict loan approval procedures and best practices for monitoring credit risk, and 2) cutting costs, better controlling subsidiaries, and refocusing on core domestic retail and savings businesses. The recommendation was to pursue the first option of strict loan approval procedures and credit risk monitoring practices, with an action plan to communicate the new procedures to lower management and implement them fully after feedback.
Case study presentation hrm-pgdm ib
An interview is a conversation between an employer and candidate to learn about each other for filling a position. Both parties have needs - the candidate wants a job, and the interviewer wants the right person. To prepare students, b-schools should implement mentoring programs including personality assessments, mock interviews, industry guidance, and ensuring students' strengths match opportunities. For campus interviews, candidates should thoroughly know the company and project, have the confidence to say no to unfamiliar topics, provide an honest CV highlighting strengths and weaknesses, and give the interviewer a sense of their loyalty. Core strategies for successful interviews are knowing yourself, the company, and role; understanding the interviewer; having clarity, willingness, and an analytical approach; and

The document also notes there are other important biochemical processes common to living things on Earth, like cellular respiration and enzymes, that the students need to further study before exploring life on other planets.
Food (Nancy)
1. Students conducted an experiment to measure the energy content of different foods by burning samples of marshmallow, bread, carrot, and meat and measuring the increase in temperature of water.
2. They calculated the energy gained by the water in Joules and the energy content of each food sample in Joules per gram.
3. The results showed that bread provided the most energy per gram, followed by meat, marshmallow, and carrot.
Free fall (Lynn)
This three-day lab unit will have students work collaboratively in teams to study free fall using video cameras, image analysis software, and Excel. In the kick-off lab, students will capture video of objects in free fall and then analyze the video frame by frame in Excel to calculate position, velocity, and acceleration over time. They will conclude by presenting their findings and discussing real-world applications of Newton's Second Law. The goal is for students to construct an understanding of gravity and motion through hands-on experimentation and technology.
Photosynthesis (Karla)
The document discusses an experiment on photosynthesis. Students observed the rate of oxygen bubble production during photosynthesis under different conditions. They varied the light bulb size, distance between the bulb and plant, and measured oxygen bubbles produced per time and per minute. Photosystem 2 uses carbon dioxide and water to begin energy production, driven by sunlight and chlorophyll. The class will continue the lab next week to examine the second step of photosynthesis.

Serve ideas-and-planning
- 1. Ideas / plans / images from SER/VE Revisions and returns after the demise of Teen Island & the NSF grant ; Change starting mid sept 2010 to bring in my teachers
- 2. Preparation for phase 3 & science Get ready for bringing in the home school group for a science lesson; figure what lesson I can have the science teachers in the MAT do too
- 4. MAT: Central science area / multi-storied / expandable ; top view; two stories (at least) / all view the amphitheater / all have side entrances too / soundproof sections Biology Earth science Amphitheater: auditorium / voting seats / stage w/ whiteboard & projector ; goes into the ground; walkway to science area around the side Physics Chemistry Hallway / announcements & bulletins
- 5. Items & artifacts (details in notes) Standard items – bulletin boards / web displayers / notecard servers (for more info) Use the hovers but have signs on them too Labs & artifacts White boards and presentation areas Meeting area / cafeteria backdrop / The land is approximately 40 by 50 meters now Banners & flags / MAT logo
- 6. Things to learn in SL Notecard giver (common symbol) Door opener / seat orienter Poller – sitting at a seat can enter in a number for a contest / or, a way to poll someone at a contest Soundproofing by layout and elevation Teleports &
- 7. Stories / games / themes Test different GPS / google earth with Raquel and Patrick ; video tape the learning ; use wordpress Work with ESC MAT students to find good formats What do their kids like? What do they watch? What are the motivators? What is a scientific forum?
- 8. Conditions for usefulness of SL in higher ed More than just walk around; must be a meeting and info place too You need to have the scheduling embedded
- 9. Revisions / updates to MOU; post NSF reject Revamp the setup; take FRAPS of what exists; put into inventory; take pictures New conceptualization MOU brings in the science area too at the back of the mall More items made from immediate sale – rewards for science spending; have building classes in the sandbox ; make a place where items could be considered for sale in the store; link in the tutorials made already Pods and apartments are removed – except for the few pods that are under construction Make the island management a stand alone and bring in education center – use the MAT science center as a model / bring it over maybe into the MOU
- 10. Directions for making & posting reports in Slideshare Follow the directions in the assignment and put the results into a PowerPoint slide that you save on your computer Go to www.slideshare.net/MathSciCrystal and click Signin at the top right of the screen Type in the password – it will be given to you by the instructor Click Upload and locate your PowerPoint on your computer When the upload is completed, copy-paste the pathway (the URL) that will move to your slideshow and email the link to your instructor
Editor's Notes
- Key features: areas devoted to each science but central shared announcements and bulletin board areas and auditorium ; there should be an eventual second floor that can be accessed from inside and from outside; maybe a pathway around and a central arboretum area too; there needs to be a teen recreation and meeting area
- Need to have many generative themes that can be played out here ; science meeetings, town meetings;
- Engage patrick & raquel in making the transition
