...More support from various government departments and publication of a major policy document by the government is urgently required to attract investors, said Alihussain Akberali, chairman of BSRM, one of the biggest industrial groups of the country. The government needs to lay the future pricing policy on market-based prices of all inputs to power projects, he said in an interview. “We gave the Board of Investment (BoI), some nine months back, four to five proposals about the problems we were facing in setting up the largest steel plant and a power project. No one from the BoI has so far called us to hear our problems nor were our applications sent to relevant departments." "How can there be industrialisation under such circumstances?� he questioned. The major chunk of foreign investment is in the export processing zones (EPZs) where labour intensive industries are being set up and which offer a platter of gas, power and tax incentives. But no importance is being given to import substitution industries, he said. “We need active support from different ministries of land, water, power, roads and highways, home and energy to help us smoothly set up the two major Tk 3,000 crore projects which will generate employment for about 1,500." "Today pillar to post, we are just groping in the dark. Of course we are used to it but at what cost to the country?" It will be impossible for foreign companies to come to the country to set up heavy industries outside the EPZs, Akberali...

...The World is Flat MKTG 445; Questions 4-6 By using the Friedman’s rules, a Coffee Company will be able to realize a success in the market after is succeeds in defining its product because defining a product is followed by defining consumers, targeting them and retaining them, meaning a maximized income. The Coffee Company would identify the highest competence over competitors’ product, then use the level of the product’s strength in digging itself deep in winning the consumers. In addition, the company will take the advantage of being in collaborating with the PR houses that will ensure that its image is enhanced as being a large company over other bigger competitors. After elevating its image to the level of a top tier company, the company will allow their loyal consumers be partners of the company and get involved in the decisions, hence fulfilling the Friedman’s rules. Making their customers feel like they are a part of a big company and looked at as partners will help the brand grow. It’s the need that drives a consumer to buy. A need highlighted in a promotional aspect attracts more consumers that the one that doesn’t address the consumer’s need. To achieve greatly and acquire more tactics, the company will need to outsource its staff to a bigger company so that they can be well trained. The company could take some staff to an abroad company known well for coffee production. This will in turn bring a great achievement in helping the company define its product in the...

...change a tire in no time and get back on the road to finish off your day. The first step is to locate the spare tire and the car jack, every car has a spare tire and jack usually located in the trunk of the car. Once you have taken the spare tire and the jack out the trunk of the car make sure that you are on a good hard surface, you don’t want the jack to sink into the ground. Locate the car frame in which you will place the jack right under it so that it will have a good strong hold of the car. You don’t want to be near the car when the car jack is not holding the frame it can become weak and could fall on you while changing the tire. With the tire iron that is included with the car jack you need to just loosen up the lug nuts before you jack the car up. This step will help you remove the tire easier once it is on the jack. With that being done now you can jack the car up just enough where you can take the flat tire off the car. With the car on the jack and the tire is up enough to take off go ahead remove the lug nuts. Before you place the spare tire on the car make sure that it has good air pressure because the spare tire will be smaller than your regular stock tire. Once you have checked that the tire is in good shape you can place the spare tire back onto the vehicle and screw back on the lug nuts. A good way to make sure that the tire is on the car evenly screw them in a star shape pattern so...

...about her. If those people that comment mean things talking about her where not just a profile and was someone face to face we usually wouldn't say things like that. Also in the Vanderbilt’s essay he talks about the road rage and the different types of communication while driving. Many people while driving get very upset with other drivers if they need to be somewhere quickly, or even if the person is driving slower then they want to drive, which cause the person that is behind the person that is going slow to speed up and cut them off. I have seen a lot of incidents where people cut someone off and they want to get pay back on they so they try to cut them off back, then it turns into an accident. Citizens do not understand how dangerous cars and truck are when we are behind the wheel, they can hurt someone very badly plus even kill them. We as people need to understand that our ethical compilations need to help us from being cyborgs, to understand that we have to live our own life without having to use all the new technology. People today are totally cyborgs we use technology in everything we do. We hardly do this that does not consist of new technology advancements. Whenever, people have questions that we need to find answers for we go on our phones or computers to google the answer. New technology has made greater openness possible, but has this...

...still going to cost you a tidy five-figure sum to buy the necessary parts, materials and paint supplies needed to transform an old car from a worn-out relic to a dazzling show beauty. If you've decided to restore a particular old car because you have a longstanding attachment to that model and are not concerned about its value or whether parts can be easily found, then we applaud you--that mindset should be the primary focus of this great hobby of ours. However, if you enjoy old car restoration but prefer your projects to be easy and relatively cheap to do--with, perhaps, the added bonus of making a few dollars on it when it's done--then these are the cars you should consider for your next venture. Of course, the majority of these cars won't make you stand apart from the crowd at a show or cruise-in, but you will be able to complete their restoration far faster and a whole lot cheaper than if you chose a car that was rare, or had only been made for a few years. Another factor to consider is the actual purchase price of the car. While some of the cars listed here can be bought for around $5,000, others will cost four times as much even if they're basket cases--but keep in mind that those higher-priced cars will also bring four times the money when sold, so it kind of equals out. But the one common feature enjoyed by most of these cars--and the main reason why they are on this list--is that they're backed by a huge parts supply, making them a lot easier to restore...

...Definition Globalisierung !!!!!!!!!! Sachtext: Auszüge aus Thomas L. Friedman, The World is Flat The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century is an international bestselling book by Thomas Friedman that analyzes globalization, primarily in the early 21st century. The title is a metaphor for viewing the world as a level playing field in terms of commerce, where all competitors have an equal opportunity. As the first edition cover illustration indicates, the title also alludes to the perceptual shift required for countries, companies and individuals to remain competitive in a global market where historical and geographical divisions are becoming increasingly irrelevant. Friedman himself is a strong advocate of these changes, calling himself a "free-trader" and a "compassionate flatist," and he criticizes societies that resist these changes. He emphasizes the inevitability of a rapid pace of change and the extent to which emerging abilities of individuals and developing countries are creating many pressures on businesses and individuals in the United States; he has special advice for Americans and for the developing world (but says almost nothing about Europe). Friedman's is a popular work based on much personal research, travel, conversation, and reflection. In his characteristic style, he combines in The World Is Flat conceptual analysis accessible to a broad public with personal anecdotes and opinions. Friedman defines ten...

...As per The Globe and Mail Published Friday, May 23, 2014 10:25AM EDT New chief executive officer of Rogers Communications Inc. As of December 2013 Guy Laurence CEO Resetting company’s management structure. Fix customer service issues **** poor customer service to be improved by unraveling a tangled mess of corporate structures and separating consumer concerns from business priorities. Reignite growth. Restructuring will make Rogers more agile (quote: Guy Laurence) High level executives removed from office. (shake up) Senior ranks will be shifted away from daily operations to focus on long-term strategic goals. The restructuring comes amid an intensely competitive telecommunication’s landscape. For Rogers that has meant limited growth in wireless customers, recent declines in cable subscribers and a lagging stock price. The new setup gives Mr. Laurence firm control of operations and puts deputy chairman Edward Rogers, son of the late founder and CEO Ted Rogers, in line to one day take over as chairman. Mr. Rogers currently holds an executive post as well as heading a family trust that controls the company through multiple voting shares. Under Mr. Laurence’s plan, Mr. Rogers is giving up his operating duties to focus on the board, but sources say he is believed to be in line to one day replace chairman Alan Horn when he steps down. His sister, Melinda Rogers, is also leaving her role as a senior vice-president but she will remain on the board. Clear focus...

...Organisational structure Organizational structure refers to both the formal and informal frameworks that shape how a business is operated. An organization structure determines how employees are grouped together and plays a large role in a firm’s success. Choosing a structure is not a one-size-fits-all decision, and business owners must select the model that best suits the needs of their organization. Traditionally, many organisations have been in the form of a Pyramid structure. Most responsibility lies at the top and there is more staff at the bottom with less responsibility. There is a hierarchy, and staffs know their position within the organisation. Hierarchies have tall and flat structure Tall organisation Tall organizational structure is one which has many levels of hierarchy. In these organizations, there are usually many managers, and each manager has a narrow span of control, they are in charge of only a small group of people. Tall structures tend to be more complicated and complex, and may be slower to respond to market changes than organizations where managers have a larger span of control. Employee satisfaction may be lower in a tall organization because of the many layers of bureaucracy and rigid rules. Tall organizations may face higher costs than in other types of business structures. One reason for this is the large number of managers and supervisors required in a tall structure. Advantages: There are various advantages of tall organizations. *...

...The digital economy is rapidly spreading and is transforming industries and replacing workers of all kinds and levels. The automation and digitization is amazing and intriguing to one when we think of the caliber of productivity and efficiency gains we will have from the global robotics industry and automation of the world, however we have to look at the impact this will have on the USA in the next century. Over time Washington, D.C has discussed redistributing of wealth this reveals that the returns on ones employment or work is not just on wages, but in fact work is a major institution in society. The robots and automation has altered the job market requiring fewer workers or no workers to complete a task or a set of task from building cars to trading on Wall Street. Also with every new automation process one has to learn or become educated on new processes and many are being left behind due to the lack of knowledge in such mass growth of technology. It is safe to say that there will be jobs in the future, however the caliber will changes.

...1 Introduction "No two countries that both had McDonald's had fought a war against each other since each got its McDonald's.” This quote of Thomas L. Friedman, a well-known US-American foreign affairs and globalization expert, shows two of the main results of globalization: Companies that are becoming more international and a world in which the countries start cooperating more and more instead of fighting wars. People start in-teracting borderlessly and politicians and newspapers mention the “world community.” There are mainly three forces that are contributing to the process of globalization: the liberalization of capital movements, the opening of global markets to trade and invest-ment, and the increasing use of information and communication technologies. If you want to define globalization you have to emphasize that Globalization is a multi-dimensional phenomenon that not only touches political, economic, social and cultural spheres of any society but also reshapes the traditional way of studying the “social world and human nature” first. At political and economic level, globalization is the process of denationalization of markets, politics and legal systems, it is the rise of global economy. Good examples for this development are e.g. the European Union or the negotiations of the European Union with the United States to create the biggest trade zone of the world. At the business level, globalization is when companies decide to take part in the emerging global economy...

...2013 University of South Australia RUI SHEN 110024814 6/4/2013 Alpha Reminiscent Cars Expansion 12 Team Approach or Robotic Approach? Introduction Alpha Reminiscent Cars (ARC) used to be a small factory-based company. Until now it still maintains the hand assembled and hand-crafted tradition. In the last decade, the gradually increasing demand for the new-look-reminiscent-of-an-old style cars urged the company had tripled in size, twice shifting to larger premises and upgrading equipment and staff numbers. However, ARC’s ability still cannot satisfy the customer demand as the waiting list has lined up for six years. It seems that the expansion is currently the most urgent task for the company. At present, the company has two feasible approaches for expansion. One is the 12 team approach which doubled the workforce size of the original 6 teams. Another one is the assembly-line robotic approach which would introduce the computer-based robotics to the three worksites. Therefore, the purpose of this report is to analysis the advantages and disadvantages of the two approaches separately, especially the issues of 12 team approach related to ARC’s expansion and finally summarise which approach would be better for ARC to maintain or increase profit and also make its employees happy. Team Approach According to Mohrman & Quam (2000), ‘Teams are a common design fixture in today’s organisations.’ Organizations which are using teams to perform their core work and provide...
