...Individual Business Survey November 13, 2011 Individual Business Survey The paper will consist of a major problem in a government organization. A 10-question survey has been created for the employees so that the employer can better understand how the employees feel. Moving along, in the problem statement poor, middle-level management seems to have developed in the organization, which resulted with too many angry employees. Complaints are on the rise and are in need of a resolution quickly. For example, it has been said from employees that they are treated unfairly, misunderstood, belittled, disrespected, and certainly have been devalued as an employee by middle level management. This has gone on far too long, and a resolution must be in placed soon. Upper-management figured they must hire a firm to come in and alleviate the lack of management skills within the organization. The firm will train the managers with enhancement in communication, social, employee relation skills, and so on. This class estimates to last five days including seven hours each day. So therefore, 35 hours of training is involved and should result in improving their management skills in the workplace. The purposed survey addresses the problems that will ultimately lead to a conclusion to enhance the poor management skills in the workplace. It covers how the current employees feel about working at his or her job. It is important for an employer to know how satisfied are their employees...

...SID 1223384 A PROPOSAL TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT THAT FOREIGN AID HAS HAD ON DEVELOPMENT IN KENYA RESEARCH STUDIES MOD001774 SHIRLEY JONES SID 1223384 FACULTY OF HEALTH, SOCIAL CARE AND EDUCATION 2012/13 1 SID 1223384 ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of foreign aid on development in Kenya. The study will investigate the effect that foreign aid has had on development, appraising its benefits as well as exposing its shortcomings. Judging from the level of aid that the developing world receives and the economic development that takes place in third world countries, there appears to be an inverse relationship between aid and development. With this continuing debate, my interest of study has been to find out foreign aid’s impact to development in Kenya as it is dependent of aid but poverty still seems impossibility in the country for many decades. Therefore, the study will seek to expose these pitfalls of foreign assistance to a nation’s growth and development, using the Kenyan example to illustrate this relationship. The prevailing research methodology shall be of a qualitative positivist nature. Debates still exist around foreign aid dependency and economic development in the “Third World” countries as despite the input from developed countries there hasn’t been much change witnessed in the developing nations which are still drowning in poverty since 1960’s. The study will highlight on the demerit of excess foreign aid has development whereby...

...Financial Crises: Theory and Evidence Franklin Allen University of Pennsylvania Ana Babus Cambridge University Elena Carletti European University Institute June 8, 2009 1. Introduction Financial crises have been pervasive phenomena throughout history. Bordo et al. (2001) find that their frequency in recent decades has been double that of the Bretton Woods Period (1945-1971) and the Gold Standard Era (1880-1993), comparable only to the Great Depression. Nevertheless, the financial crisis that started in the summer of 2007 came as a great surprise to most people. What initially was seen as difficulties in the US subprime mortgage market, rapidly escalated and spilled over to financial markets all over the world. The crisis has changed the financial landscape worldwide and its costs are yet to be evaluated. The purpose of this paper is to concisely survey the literature on financial crises. Despite its severity and its ample effects, the current crisis is similar to past crises in many dimensions. In a recent series of papers, Reinhart and Rogoff (2008a, 2008b, 2009) document the effects of banking crises using an extensive data set of high and middle-to-low income countries. They find that systemic banking crises are typically preceded by credit booms and asset price bubbles. This is consistent with Herring and Wachter (2003) who show that many financial crises are the result of bubbles in real estate markets. In addition, Reinhart and Rogoff find...

The BDI is widely used as an assessment tool by health care professionals and researchers in a variety of settings. The BDI was used as a model for the development of the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), first published in 1979 by clinical psychologist Maria Kovacs.[2] Contents [hide] * 1 Development and history * 1.1 BDI * 1.2 BDI-IA * 1.3 BDI-II * 2 Two-factor approach to depression * 3 Impact * 4 Limitations * 5 See also * 6 Notes * 7 Further reading * 8 External links ------------------------------------------------- Development and history[edit] Historically, depression was described in psychodynamic terms as "inverted hostility against the self".[3] By contrast, the BDI was developed in a novel way for its time; by collating patients' verbatim descriptions of their symptoms and using these to structure a scale which could reflect the intensity or severity of a given symptom.[1] Throughout his work, Beck drew...

...1. PENDAHULUAN 1.1. Latar Belakang Masalah Di era globalisasi sekarang ini, sudah terjadi transformasi dalam lingkungan bisnis yang menuntut perusahaan untuk berkompetisi secara kompetitif untuk menjadi yang terbaik dalam lingkungan bisnis tersebut. Dalam hal ini tentu saja organisasi membutuhkan tingkat kinerja yang tinggi dan konsisten dari masing-masing karyawan dalam rangka untuk meningkatkan kinerja perusahaan dan bertahan dalam lingkungan persaingan pasar yang tinggi (Newstrom and Davis, 2002). Berbagai strategi harus dilakukan oleh perusahaan untuk memberikan kinerja lebih baik daripada pesaing agar bertahan dalam dalam lingkungan bisnis. Di Indonesia sendiri, persaingan bisnis semakin ketat dan kompetitif khususnya di sector retail. Dimana menurut Asosiasi Perusahaan Ritel Indonesia (Aprindo) dalam lima tahun terakhir dari tahun 2012 peningkatan omset ritel modern cukup pesat, hal ini juga didukung oleh pertumbuhan jumlah ritel yang pesat yaitu sebesar 7.787 retail selama 5 tahun terakhir ini, pertumbuhan bisnis ritel di Indonesia antara 10-15% per tahun. Penjualan ritel pada 2006 masih sebesar Rp 49 triliun, namun melesat hingga mencapai Rp 110 triliun pada 2012 meningkat sebesar 10%- 15%, menyusul kondisi perekonomian dan daya beli masyarakat yang relatif bagus. Bisnis ritel di tahun 2013 masih mencatat tren yang positif, namun masih kurang maksimal jika dibandingkan dengan tahun 2012 (Liputan6.com). Dari data tersebut dapat dilihat bahwa persaingan bisnis terus...

...Introduction Brewing beer is really a very simple process, a unique mix of art and science that consists of a number of key steps. Brewing begins with malted barley that is milled and mixed with hot water to form a mash. During mashing, the malt starches are converted to sugars. The sugar rich water is then strained through the bottom of the mash and is now called wort. The wort then goes to the brew kettle where it is brought to a boil. During this stage, hops are added at different times during the boil for either bitterness or aroma. The wort is then cooled and aerated, and brewers' yeast is added for fermentation. The yeast produces alcohol and carbon dioxide and other byproducts from the sweet wort. After fermentation the "green beer" undergoes maturation. The last step in the brewing process is filtration, and then carbonation. Next the beer is moved to a holding tank where it stays until it is bottled or kegged. For a more detailed description of the brewing process click "Continue." Barley Malt Barley malt is to beer as grapes are to wine. It is ideally suited to brewing for many reasons. Malted barley has a high complement of enzymes for converting its starch supply into simple sugars and contains protein, which is needed for yeast nutrition. Of course, one important element is its flavor. There are two types of barley: six-row and two-row. [pic] Pale Ale Malt Barley Malt Six-row Barley Malt Generally, six-row barley has a higher enzyme content...
