What B-Schools teach which they shouldn’t? The increasing levels of competition among the students leads to the creation of a Superiority complex among few individuals who tend to become dominating at times, which greatly hampers the group dynamics and morale of others. There is an overdose of curriculum within a stipulated time period hampering the understanding of the subjects. This necessitates the system to be more flexible in allowing the students to choose among the subjects as per their preference. Focus should be to understand whatever one studies rather than getting overburdened with more number of subjects. What B-Schools don’t teach which they should? Organizational Commitment: It is the individual's psychological attachment to the organization. The level of Organizational Commitment an individual has reflects in his job performance in the organization. B-schools today have become a means of getting a fat paycheck at the end of the two years without being able to foster a sense of belongingness towards the institute. It wouldn’t be surprising to know that many MBA students today would not be aware of their B-School’s Mission, Vision and Values. This needs to be given importance so that the student understands and reflects the same in whichever organization he joins. CSR as a mandatory course...

...Going to business school would help you advance in that field. It's important to remember that B-Schools see themselves as a means to an end, not an end in themselves. They want students who are ambitious and plan to use business school to get them ahead in their chosen fields. They DO NOT want students who are applying to business school because they want the credential on their record, or because they don't know what they want to do and need more time to figure it out. That being said, B-School is full of those kind of people (who have no idea what they want to do yet), but all of them managed to tell a compelling story on their applications about how business school was the right place for them and how it would help them in their careers. Try to display initiative and become a leader in an area that interests you. Try to become the head of a club, the captain of a sports team, the editor of a magazine, or the director of a movie. B-schools will look for that kind of engagement and "management" experience. They want to know that you are good at interacting with people, that you have some "leadership" skills, and that you are invested enough in what you do to want to take ownership of it. Now, about work experience. It used to be the case that very few students came straight from undergrad programs into Business School. Although schools now seem to be admitting more and more students straight out of college, it is still rare and you may find yourself struggling...

...Tariff and non-tariff barriers can affect your export business. In most countries, the governments impose these trade barriers and the general purpose behind them is to limit (or sometimes totally ban) the imports of some specific product. By imposing trade barriers, the governments are looking to achieve some or all of these economic targets. " Encouraging domestic production " Protecting local employees " Increasing revenues " Reducing consumption and reliance on exports Whether they are able to achieve these targets or not, one thing is for sure, these trade barriers are going to hurt your business, if you are looking to export to that country. Read a little to get an idea of what tariff and non-tariff barriers are. Tariff: In simple words, this is the tax imposed on imported goods. In most cases the tax is collected at the moment some shipment arrives at ports. Governments normally force tariffs (or excise duty) to protect local industries and to raise their revenues, although many economists have debated against it. According to them these methods are faulty, because in the end it's the consumer who suffers at the hand of high prices and inflation. As an exporter you'd be better off going for some country with minimum tariffs because you will loose the low cost advantage once you have to pay these taxes. Tariff allows local manufacturers to offer lower prices as compared to the imported items (still the customers are paying more than what they should be paying...

...ADVOCACY ADVOCACY Legal Protections for Children with Viral Hepatitis Updated 2006 Overview In the United States, three federal laws are critical in protecting children with viral hepatitis against discrimination in schools, daycare centers, athletic programs, camps and other areas of daily life. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is the most powerful law safeguarding the rights of children in public and private schools and daycare centers. The law also prevents any organization or business from discriminating against a person because of a real or perceived disability, such as an infectious disease. A second law, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, bars schools, colleges and other organizations receiving federal funding from discriminating against children with disabilities. Section 504 identifies chronic liver disease as a “hidden disability.” Most advocates say hepatitis B and C are disabilities that are protected by ADA and Section 504—even though these chronic liver diseases are relatively asymptomatic in children. A third law, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (commonly called FERPA or the Buckley Amendment) prevents school officials from divulging medical information about a student to anyone beyond essential school personnel. ADA also has provisions that protect student medical records. Many states also have civil rights laws that, similar to ADA, protect people with infectious diseases and other disabilities against discrimination...

...MMWR Paper on Hepatitis B Microbiology 212-A April 27, 2012 Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus that affects the liver and belongs to the Hepadnaviridae group (Takkenberg, Weegink, Zaaijer, & Reesink, 2010). According to an article in Vox Sanguines, an international journal of transfusion medicine, (Takkenberg, Weegink, Zaaijer, & Reesink, 2010) “about 400 million people worldwide are chronically infected with HBV, and 2 billion people have serological evidence of past or present HBV infection”. HBV, formerly known as serum hepatitis (Huether & McCance, 2008), has eight genotypes (A-H) with genotype D being associated with viral or acute hepatitis B and prevalent mainly in Europe, North Africa, and the United States (Takkenberg, Weegink, Zaaijer, & Reesink, 2010). The virus is about 40nm in diameter, partially double stranded and circular, and has an envelope which is host cell derived (The Board of Trustees of the University of South Carolina, 2011). HBV functions by entering into the nucleus of a hepatocyte and then is transcribed into viral RNA. It is then transported out to the cytosol where transcription occurs and new DNA strands are made that can form new viruses (Takkenberg, Weegink, Zaaijer, & Reesink, 2010). Hepatitis B virus needs to get past the first lines of defense and enter into the body with transmission primarily coming through exposure to blood or body fluids (Adams, Holland, Jr., & Urban, 2011). Main risk factors for...

Jack, Graduate Chair ii Abstract A method was developed to create Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) models for bones of the human body utilizing medical imaging data. The human hand was chosen as the subject of the research. Computed Tomography (CT) imaging was chosen to provide a volumetric data set. This data set was visualized through an isosurfacing technique utilizing the marching cubes algorithm. The original CT data set contained slices that were not aligned with the natural orientation or long axis of the bones. Transformation matrices and linear interpolations were used to generate a data set of slices oriented along the natural axis of the bones. Contours were created on these slices through an edge-tracking method. B-Spline curves were then constructed utilizing the...

...HEPATITIS B August 25, 2014 The definition of hepatitis is the inflammation of the liver. The liver is the largest organ in the body and functions to digest food, store energy and remove toxins. Hepatitis is caused by a variety of factors such as toxins, certain drugs, heavy alcohol use and bacterial or viral infections. The three most common types of viral infections that affect the liver are Hepatitis A, B and C. (CDC). This paper will focus on hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is a highly contagious infection of the liver caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Infection can be acute or chronic. Acute Hepatitis B is short term and occurs within the first 6 months after exposure. Chronic Hepatitis is long term and the virus remains in a person’s body. (CDC) Hepatitis B is spread through contact with an infected person’s blood, semen or body fluids via activities that involve skin puncture or mucosal tissue contact. Examples of such activities include sex, exposure to sharp objects, needle sticks, sharing razors, toothbrushes with an infected person, intravenous drug use etc. A mother can also pass the disease on to her child during delivery. (Caple) The average incubation period of the virus in adults is about 3 months, after which symptoms begin to appear and may last several weeks to months. Symptoms of acute hepatitis include jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, loss of appetite, dark urine and joint pain. Complications that...

...1 THE MUSHROOM FACTORY The following case is an in-depth look at the events in the Accessories D e p a r t m e n t of the Esco Company, a Midwest manufacturer, during a period of rapid change. Source: This case was prepared by Alex G. Dompkowski, Otto A. Gearhart, Jr., and Roberta P. Marquette, under the supervision of Theodore T. Herbert. The case is not intended to reflect either effective or ineffective administrative or technical practices, but was prepared as a basis for class discussion. Overview The Accessories Department of the Esco Company produces specialty industrial items which complement the company ' s high volume standard products. The department was originally structured on a product basis, with Accessories having complete control and responsibility over its products from their inception through production, including customer service and customer relations. During 1972 this arrangement was changed and two groups were forme d--pr oduct engineering, and manufacturing engineering. T h e product engineering group maintained responsibility for product inception, production of prototypes, and production start-up. They also handled customer service and relations. T h e manufacturing group handled the products during the production stage. To complicate problems further, in 1973 the company purchased three small manufacturing plants and began phasing the manufacturing process out of the home plant. T h e manufacturing group had responsibility for transferring...
