...their own identity and the scenery shows the painting takes place in beautiful field with a pond. Naturalism is also shown by men riding horses and goats. The simple act is significant to the triptych because the men assume the women will look to them as a possible mate. The men seem to wish the horses and goats were the women they were trying to impress. Naturalism is not only shown in the Earthly part of the triptych, but also on the Hell side of it. The creature that looks over hell is shown with a realistic face, looking down upon smaller people with little identity. The third theme that is shown in the painting is humanism, the first example is how the picture shows visual representation of what the world would look like with no sin. “Bosch has given us an enigmatic essay on what the world might be like if the fall of Adam and Eve had never happened. It presents, in other words, a world technically without sin” (sayre 98). The last example that is shown in the painting is the human body in its natural state. The body is represented by the beauty of God. In other words, showing off God’s artwork. “The human body was widely regarded as the vehicle and instrument of sin”. Though the body is used to commit sin, it is done beautifully. “Humanist approach to the body as an object of beauty that reflects the beauty of God” (sayre 98) In conclusion, Bosch’s Garden of Earthly delights represents individualism through its detailed pictures and its importance of Adam and Eve.

...Article Sydney Morning Herald 2013, ‘Bosch dumps solar business as losses mount’, Sydney Morning Herald, 25 March, viewed 28 March 2013, Summary Bosch, a German Engineering Company, is removing its solar energy business in all worldwide locations early next year after it failed to add value to the organizations portfolio (Sydney Morning Herald 2013). Despite early efforts by management to expand their renewable energies business, most notably Bosch’s 1.1 billion euro acquisition of Ersol (Gow 2008), increases in price competition from China and Bosch’s overcapacity of solar products diminished hopes of long-term company stability (Sydney Morning Herald 2013). Despite this, interest in Bosch remains strong with share prices showing a high market capitalization (moneycontrol.com 2013). Application This article focuses primarily on the economic environment, with increasing evidence that the differences in global market economies have affected Bosch’s competitiveness in the global solar energy market. There has been increased interest from society and government for environmentally friendly and renewable fuels over the past years, and demand to continuously provide new, cheaper and endless forms (Styring, 2012). Due to this aggregate demand, Bosch invested heavily in solar operations, spending close to two billion euros since 2008 in acquisitions and manufacturing sites globally (Nicola 2013). However, with a surplus of Chinese solar panels entering the market...

...JOHANNES VAN DEN BOSCH SENDS AN EMAIL Copyright 2000 by IMD - International Institute for Management Development, Lausanne, Switzerland After having had several email exchanges with his Mexican counterpart over several weeks without getting expected actions and results, Johannes van den Bosch was getting a tongue-lashing from his British MNC client, who was furious at the lack of progress. Van den Bosch, in the Rotterdam office of BigFiveFirm (B&FF), and his colleague in the Mexico City office, Pablo Menendez, were both seasoned veterans and van den Bosch couldn't understand the lack of responsiveness. A week earlier, the client, Malcolm Smythe-Jones, had visited his office to express his mounting frustration. But this morning he had called with a stream of verbal abuse. His patience was exhausted. Feeling angry himself, van den Bosch composed a strongly worded message to Mendez, and then decided to cool off. A half-hour later, he edited it to “stick-to-the-facts” while still communicating the appropriate level of urgency. As he clicked to send the message, he hoped that it would finally provoke some action to assuage his client with the reports he had been waiting for. He reread the email, and as he saved it to the mounting record in Smythe-Jones's file, he thought, "I'm going to be happy when this project is over for another year!"
