...“Order winner and order qualifier are criteria defined by managers within their operation strategy plan to gain competitive advantage in the market”(Encyclopedia of Business, 2nd Ed.) Order Winners and qualifiers are used to measure and to assure managers in relation to the products or services that they provide. Order winners are issues that directly and significantly help products win orders in the marketplace. People buying the product or service regard such factors as key reasons for buying or using the product or service. An Order qualifier is the characteristic of a companies product or service which are set in order for a customer to consider the product or service for either purchase or use. The Order winner is what we would consider as the winning factor, giving that extra factor to win the customer or service over that of other competitors. Companies must provide qualifiers to enter the given market and become equally as good as the competitors in order to keep sales and service levels before being able to enter with a winner in order to be that one step above another competitor. “The success of a company depends greatly on Order-winner factor“ (Slack, Lewis 2008). It is one of the most important issues that pushes and persuades people to take or use a product or service from a company. The order winner issue tends to be at the top of the list for companies and the managers that make these strategic plans, because it seems to benefits the given company...

The Winner is always has a solution; The loser is always has an excuse. The Winner says “Let me do it for you” The Loser says “That is not my job” The winner sees an answer for every problem; The Loser sees a problem for every answer. The Winner says, “It may be difficult but it is possible.” The loser says, “It may be possible but it is difficult.” When a Winner makes a mistake he says,”I was wrong” When a loser makes a mistake he says, “It wasn’t my fault” A Winner makes commitments, A loser makes promises. Winner has dreams. Loser has schemes. Winner is a part of the team. Losers are apart of team. Winners see the gain. Losers see the pain. Winners see possibilities. Losers see the obstacles. Winners believe in Win/Win. Losers believe, for them to win someone has to lose. Winners are like a thermostal. Losers are like thermometers. Winner chooses what they say. Losers say what they choose. Winners use hard arguments but soft words. Losers use soft arguments but hard words. Winners stand firm on values but compromise on petty things; Losers stand firm on petty things but compromise on values. Winners follow the philosophy of empathy. “Don’t do others what you would not want them to do to you.” Losers follow the philosophy, “Do it to others before they do it you” Winners make it happen; Losers let it...

...y z zinc WHY WINNERS WIN INTRO 2. Who are these winners? Are indls born winners? No winners are not born they are made. Recent researches on the winners conducted by Stanford institute concluded that only 12% of our success depends on knowledge and technical skills and 88% on positive attitude, enthusiasm, persistence and determination 3. Why do winners only win? What is that quality that separates a winner from a loser? Can everybody win? This brings me to various types of people. There are four kinds of people in this world. They are:- (a) Who watch things happen. (b) Who simply wonder what has happened. (c ) Who criticize what has happened. (d) Who makes things happen. 4. Winners are the people who make things happen. They have strong desire to achieve and they achieve what they desired. Someone said that all men are created equal, but it is what they do afterwards that makes the difference. Winners believe that every cloud has a silver lining. Some thing good can come out from every situation 5. I will tell you a story of a rich man who wanted to asses his two sons. To one of them he gave a pile of presents and the other a pile of cow dung. The one with the gifts started complaining about the missing gifts, but the second one sold the cow dung and started a business. The second boy is a winner; he felt that some thing...

...In the very highly competitive world that we live in today there are two different types of people, the winners and the losers. Webster’s dictionary defines a winner as someone or something or wins a prize or a contest. To some extent I think that’s true, but in my opinion a true winner is a person who never loses but only gets beat from time to time. Eventually, winning becomes almost second nature to someone who is a true winner. It becomes all they know how to do, but a true winner never loses. I know if you’re reading this you’re probably thinking that there is no possible way that if a person competes that he will never lose, but it is possible. You see a true winner is someone who might get beat from time to time, but he never loses....

...(management consultants) They claimed that varying managerial actions and attitudes could account for the difference between winners and losers (and finding out what the drivers are of high performance is possible!) In seach of excellence. But this put a problem on the table, instead of solving one. (later: data was FAKE). With each new effort, methodlogical issues are reconsidered. New data became available and the finding became more defensible and robust. What’s the unit of analysis? Where does it reside? (individual, team, business unit, corporation) Who gets called a winner? Finding the fittest entities across the business landscape and subjecting them to close analysis. Who stands tallest Depends on yardstick (!) Agreed: success=cash Cash comes to businesses in various forms. Links between strength and organizational culture and economic success. Success in terms of annual growth in net income, average returns on invested capital and appreciation in stock prices.

...Procedure of the game: Two people hold both ends of a stretched garter horizontally while the others Attempt to cross over it. The goal is to cross without having tripped on the garter. With each round, the garter's height is made higher than the previous round (the game starts with the garter at ankle-level, followed by knee-level, until the garter is positioned above the head). The higher rounds demand dexterity, and the players generally leap with their feet first in the air, so their feet cross over the garter, and they end up landing on the other side. Also, with the higher levels, doing cartwheels to "cross" the garter is allowed. Dodge ball Players: 2 teams with more than 5 players Setting: it can be in the racquet ball court or outdoor Materials/ equipment: rubber ball Procedures of the game: 1. Play will be 4 on 4. A minimum of 3 is required to start the game. 2. Play will be held inside the racquetball courts. 3. No substitutions will be allowed once a game has started, expect for injuries. There is a 15 second stall count between each game for substitutions. No substitutions will be allowed after the 15 second count. 4. Team may substitute between games. 5. Ten (10) minute time limit. Team with the most wins in the 10 minutes will be deemed the winner. If teams are tied, there will be a sudden death game to determine match winner. 6.

...athletes who take part in basketball and baseball complete different tasks, their ultimate goal remains the same: victory. The playing surfaces for both sports require constant maintenance. A baseball field requires much more (care or caring) than the basketball court, such as watering, mowing, and raking weekly, if not daily, depending on the use of the field. A basketball playing surface only needs waxed or resurfaced once a year and washed biweekly. Although baseball diamonds require far more work, the hardwood of a basketball tends to be more complex with the different lines from various sports running throughout the court. Much larger than a basketball court, the baseball field is typically located outside. Despite the differences, the games and practices take place on their own playing surfaces. They also contain a scoreboard located in a clearly visible...

...are Ravi in Games at Twilight. You have just come out of the shed after hiding for hours and no one has noticed that you have been gone. Write your thoughts. “Where is everybody? Did I win the game?” I thought to myself. I had been hiding in this dark shed for hours but no one found me. I heard Raghu shouting, “I heard you! I’m coming! Got you.” Raghu found the others long before, and I thought I was the winner of this game, but no one remembered me. It is so dark in here, insects crawling all over me, I dare not to move, afraid Raghu will find me, but he never came, no one did. At first I was glad that he did not find me, meaning I won the game. I want to be respected by them and no longer a nobody. When I hid at the shed, it is such a dark and depressing place. I really want to win; I want to be acknowledged by them. But it feels like there was a gap separating me with my siblings, one that would hardly be separated. When I tell them that I won the game, they did not remember me, it took them a minute to grasp what I am saying and even who was I. They say I was a fool of myself as though I did not have feelings and was a laughingstock. It felt like my heart was ripped apart. Sometimes I felt like I was a toy, when it’s still new and they like it, they play with it. But when time goes by, they get tired of it; they just throw it away like a piece of unwanted paper. I want to defeat Raghu – that hirsute, hoarse-voiced football champion and to be a winner in a circle...

...Every sport has a history. However, none of them is as interesting as soccer. Soccer is one of the most famous sports in the world. To many people soccer is more than just a game; it is simply their passion. The game evolved from the sport of kicking a basic rounded-ball into a popular sport with many fans. Many people believe that soccer was first played in England, but records discovered the history of soccer more than 2000 years to ancient china. At that time prizes were distributed to the winners as rewards, while the losers were punished by flogging. Many other countries also claim to have started the sport; but it was England, to set the rules of the game. As the sport developed, more rules were added to the game and more historical...

...for us. We started the week 3-0 playing at home and we were about to start conference playing two strong sides: Campbell (regular season champions) and Mercer (runner-up in the last conference tournament). We knew the importance of the games and the whole team was pretty focused. It was a week for really hard work targeting those two games. Thursday was game day and we were all excited to start conference (our main goal this season). It was a rainy day and the game started out really intense with both teams going forward and trying to create chances. We had the most part of possession and we were trying really hard to get the first goal. And it came on the 30th minute, with a free kick. After that we took control over the game and created a lot of chances. The game was over and the first task was accomplished with a great win 4-0. But we did not have time to celebrate because Mercer was right ahead of us. Mercer was a lot different from Campbell. They were really physical and had a really defensive mentality. The game was really though and took a huge effort from every single one of us. But in the end we came out in the winner side with another good performance! 2-1 final result.. It was a good start and we closed the series of 5 home games with 5 wins. Although everyone is very excited and happy with the results, the coach staff and the players know that it is just the beginning and if we want to accomplish our main goal, we need to keep working. Next weekend we are off to...

Katniss knows how to survive and survival is the key factor to winning the hunger games.

...sailed over all of their heads. One of the other miners caught the rock and threw it back at him. To which he answered by hitting the rock once more. Soon everyone was taking a turn being a thrower and a hitter. People had started to gather and watch this game develop, and they enjoyed what they saw. They broke up into teams of nine or ten people each and would play each other. Eventually, the players started to create rules in order to make the game more fair and fun for everyone, as well as ensuring that the winner would be chosen by skill and not a loophole in the rules. They added three places to run to after hitting the rock, they called these bases. A few farmers had started to sell their goods to the hungry crowd, but it was difficult to get their attention. One farmer had the idea to yell a catchy tune for his produce, and others caught on. The cries of appetizing foods and cold drinks rang out through the crowd. People who could play the guitar, fiddle, washboard, jug or any other kinds of music making instruments would play and people would dance. It turned into a big event. There would be card games going and also there would be mini games as well like ring toss and break the plate. Over the years the game began to develop. Teams began to become rivals and soon some of the teams were very good. But no one could decide who was the best. So they would have a...

...The journey baseball players take on from the beginning of their careers to the end are full of success and strife. Baseball is a game of failure, but the failure is what fuels our desire for success. I’ve been playing baseball since I was eight years old and has pretty much been the main focus of my life. As I grew up, the game has taught me many life lessons that go beyond the baseball diamond. After high school, I received a scholarship to play for Kankakee Community College near my home of town of Chicago, Illinois. The picture was takin last year by one of my teammates shows me preparing to play in a Regional Championship with the winner advancing to the College World Series. The photo represents various different aspects of my playing career and how the journey has helped me become a better man. Throughout my baseball career I have faced a lot of adversity. I started my career at age eight playing for Jackie Robinson West Little League in inner city Chicago. My father also played in the league when it first was established. He also played college baseball, so he mentored and taught me the foundations of the game. After my little league career I began playing for a travel team. Traveling around the country, I was able to meet players from around the country and learn their stories. I enjoyed hearing them because it was cool to talk to someone with the same goals as you. As I entered my high school years, I entered a very intense part of my career which was finding a college...
