...Program Project Management International Project Management & Professional Responsibility PMGT728-003 Prof. Bob Xourafas Reflective Journal Submitted by: Rafael Rodrigues #300849295 This reflective journal is divided in four parts, one part for each chapter. It has the goal of a reflection of what we have learned so far and also to review all contend covered until the chapter 4. Chapter 1 –Introduct ion The class started talking about the definition of international project. Before, I used to believe that the only difference between traditional and international projects was the size of them and they were not that different. I mean, both can be on multiple locations, could have different entities and business units, so I did not know the real difference and the complexity of them. When it was talked about the PES analyze I started to recognize the huge difference between T them. Although traditional projects can be in different localizations they are at the same country that has the same economic. The most enjoyable part of this chapter is the standard methods used on projects. With this standardization is possible to have the same quality and “ language” documents regardless of of the localization and then we have examplesof international projects. Another part that really called my attention was the part of communication. As in the example of the roads of Roma, the communication process showed is essential to international projects.

This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signed 25/03/2011 2 ABSTRACT The rising market penetration of the mobile phone and rapid increase in wireless technology represent significant opportunities for advertisers to reach consumers. Mobile phone advertising has emerged as one of the fastest growing advertising mediums in recent times, and this rise is being led by Short Message Service (SMS) advertising. Despite the growing number of worldwide companies adopting SMS advertising, very little is understood about consumer reactions to this medium. In particular, little academic research has been conducted on consumers’ acceptance of this medium and their behavioural responses to advertising messages. In addition, researchers have thus far been unable to identify the impact of culture on acceptance and response to SMS advertising. This research aims to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and advertising practice by testing...

...1 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Financial strategy is the largest corporate financial decisions that are made by the financial management committee and it is the most crucial for all organization or company for their strategy to make profit to their firms. Financial strategy also will influence the capital structure. The theory of Capital structure is closely related to the firm’s cost of capital. It is one of the effective tools of management to manage the cost of capital. Capital structure is the mix of the long-term sources of funds used by the firm. The primary objective of capital structure decisions is to maximize the market value of the firm or achieving the maximization of shareholders wealth through an appropriate mix of long-term sources of funds and an optimal capital structure is reached at a point where the cost of the capital is minimum. To design the capital structure, the element that should consider is first, the wealth maximization is attained and second, is the best approximation to the optimal capital structure. In finance, capital structure refers to the way a corporation finances its assets through some combination of equity, debt, or hybrid securities (Saad, 2010). In short, capital structure is a mixture of a company's debts (long-term and short-term), common equity and preferred equity in financing its assets.

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Supply chain encompasses several business entities including suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, retailers and customers concerned with ensuring the flow of raw materials, component parts or finished goods from the source to the final destination, organizations can no longer detached from these business entities (Adebayo, 2012). As stated by (Gunasekaran et al., 2003), companies cannot run away from being part of SCM in either operational or strategic level of implementation. In the traditional way, companies just buy the raw material, process it to become final product and distribute it to the customers. At the strategic level of implementation, the focus is more toward fulfilling customer’s requirement and satisfaction. Supply chain management can help a company achieve the true return on investment of customer relationship management (CRM) systems, making it easier to see how well-managed and efficient supply chain operations have a significant bearing on the organization’s overall financial performance. One important benefit is that supply chain management reduces the time required for a new product or service to progress from the initial concept to its final delivery to the market. Indeed, a key objective of supply chain management is to bring new ideas to market faster, whether they are innovations from in-house or ideas gleaned from elsewhere that an enterprise needs to transform into deliverable...

...1 Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Economic Development: An Overview Adam Szirmai, Wim Naudé, and Micheline Goedhuys 1.1 Purpose of the book Economic development requires sustainable and shared increases in per capita income accompanied by changes in the structural composition of an economy towards higher value added goods and more efficient production methods. Entrepreneurs can contribute to economic development by facilitating the reallocation of resources from less to more productive uses (Acs and Storey 2004), by performing ‘cost-discovery’, ‘gap-filling’, and ‘input-completing’ functions in the economy (Leibenstein 1968; Hausmann and Rodrik 2003) and by supporting structural change (Lewis 1954; Gries and Naudé 2010). These roles have recently been the subject of a growing literature (see e.g. Minniti and Naudé 2010; Naudé 2010a, 2010b, 2010c). A neglected function in this literature is the potential role of entrepreneurs as innovators in developing countries. Joseph Schumpeter pointed out a century ago that entrepreneurs are often innovators, bringing new goods and technologies to markets, opening up new markets, processes, and ideas, and commercializing new knowledge. But, it is often mistakenly suggested that innovation by entrepreneurs is less important for growth in low-income developing countries than in more advanced economies.1 A substantial literature has been devoted to understanding the conditions under which entrepreneurs innovate, and the nature and evolution...
