...important role in learning as children. Young adults learn faster than elderly adults. Every person has a different potential of learning or different ways to adopt learning strategies. VARK is a tool to assess individual’s learning style. The VARK (Visual, Aural, Reading and Kinesthetic) questionnaire consists of sixteen questions and has used all senses of learning. One’s preferred method of learning could be different than the learning style. It is surprising how learning styles come up different than preference after completing the questionnaire. Some people who have failed in their educational field or work can get benefits after they know their style of learning. A person can succeed after knowing their style of learning. Most people do not know their learning style preference. Everyone has a mix of styles and techniques. Someone can find that they have one strong style of learning but they may prefer to learn in a different style. Once someone recognizes his/her learning style or technique better, that person can improve the quality of their learning, learning style is more powerful than realization.

...PepsiCo Problem PepsiCo’s business strategies were working out very well for them except for in their international operations. The international segment had relatively low profit margins which meant that PepsiCo needed to implement a new organizational structure that would better utilize strategic fits between the company’s international operations. Also, the operating margins and profitability across the different geographic areas and product lines varied a lot for PepsiCo. Gaining some more stability throughout each area and product line would increase the company’s growth and strength within their targeted markets. Situation Analysis In 1997 PepsiCo set out to accomplish a major portfolio restructuring through acquisitions, product innovation, international expansion, and close relationships with distribution allies. All of this restructuring proved positive for the company and they saw success in many areas. They saw their international snack volume grow by 9 percent and the international beverage volume increased by 8 percent in 2007. However, PepsiCo’s international operations were much less profitable than its businesses operating in North America. The company did notice opportunities for growth in these international markets, though. PepsiCo executives expected that, by 2010, China and Brazil would be the two largest international markets for snacks. They also found that it could grow international sales through its Power of One Strategy. Through research PepsiCo...

...EXAMPLE (CONTENTS) OF A VARK PERSONAL PROFILE (Each profile is usually 7-8 pages in length depending on the VARK scores provided. The various sections of the profile are shown below.) This profile was written for a person with a strong AURAL preference who had VARK scores of: V= 3, A= 12, R = 5 and K= 2 and a total of 22. Section A The profile begins with some general points about what VARK indicates and what it does not. Not all are shown here. 1. VARK is not a definitive measure. With only 13 questions it indicates your preferences for the ways in which new learning is “taken in” and expressed. 2. VARK provides information about your Preferences which may not be the same as your Strengths. Although you may be a skilled artist you may not choose “visual” as your way to learn new information. Similarly there are skilled athletes who prefer not to learn using their kinesthetic mode (K) although they will use that mode extensively when performing/playing. 3. Nobody works in a single mode and very little of our communication is possible in a single mode. etc. Section B Some characteristics of those who have a single preference follow: e.g. Those who have a single preference have a number of stances. They may choose to use only their preferred mode for making major decisions and for learning. They say they are indecisive and confused when information comes to them in other modes. Having made their decisions using just one mode, they may be less...

Based on over one-hundred questions given that narrow down what I would like in an ideal job setting, I had only the choices of not at all or more likely.

Preference is the act of preferring, choosing, or favoring one above other. One example of this is choosing what career path to be taken in College. But it is not simply choosing, there are some factors associated why people choose one above other. A student might choose Engineering because he is good at Mathematics or Accountancy because it is an in-demand course. This proves that choosing a career path is an important decision that will make in determining future plans because this decision will impact throughout ones lives.

In this study, the researcher will: determine what is the career preferred by students; identify the factors affecting their preference; determine the advantages and disadvantages in choosing a career; and identify the problems encountered by the students in choosing...

...With saturation in their traditional markets, emerging markets offer some real opportunities for franchise systems today. Saying that, is penetration of the emerging markets easy? Are companies guaranteed success if they open locations there? Hardly. Not every company will do well in the emerging markets, any more than every company will do well in the “traditional” markets. First of all, there is no such thing as a single profile for any of the emerging markets. They are not fungible, and companies need to understand that ethnic backgrounds, consumer preferences, economic conditions, local competitors, real estate, and community support among a host of other variables must be evaluated. But a strong opportunity exists. There is a rapidly expanding minority middle class with a dramatic increase in the number of African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and new immigrants entering the workforce and achieving management positions and wealth. Working with clients and government in establishing emerging market opportunities, my firm uses a tool called a “leakage analysis” to measure local demand for products and services. Our studies often find that for certain products and services, some emerging markets often have higher sales potential than suburban markets. If the demand is there, why are these markets still relatively underdeveloped for branded retailers and service providers? The answer is really quite simple: Other opportunities seemed better. Expansion was booming and except...
