...“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...

...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....

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.

...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...

...(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.

...Student’s essay A famous author once remarked that ” Winners never quit and quitters never win”. People who see their ideas through, however unpragmatic it may be considered by others are the ones who have truly made a difference. History is replete with examples of people who were perceived as crazy, illogical and even insane by laymen, yet when their ideas were sedulously worked upon, by the creator , day after day, combined with long hours of toil, the result was nothing, short of marvelous. Lets’s take the example of the Indian freedom struggle fought by Gandhiji on the basis of Satyagraha. It was very difficult for the Britishers to assume that India would be freed one day under the leadership of a loin cloth covered ordinary looking man without the use of weapons or bloodshed. The reason that Indian freedom could be achieved was the unflagging determination of Gandhiji and the uncommon methodology used of winning freedom by peace and not bloodshed. Looking not far, I can recall the example of Galileo who was reviled and persecuted by the Church authorities for challenging the existing norms that pervaded the society that time. Galileo ‘s fierce determination , not to give up on his ideas even during harsh criticism paved the way for modern space research. Another convincing example is of the Wright Brothers. Who would have ever imagined that it is indeed possible to fly like a bird and traverse different parts of the globe. I am sure that the Wright brothers were reviled...

...Wall Street is not known for self-examination. Colossally bad bets and spectacular losses are more often treated as individual failures than systemic ones; risky behavior is seen as a sign of intestinal fortitude, not foolishness. In the wake of the multibillion-dollar trading loss atJPMorgan Chase (JPM)—considered the best in the business at risk management—the financial industry has focused on who did what, when, and how big the losses might get. But that doesn’t explain why the firm’s traders and executives doubled down on a position that, in hindsight, looked clearly doomed. What were they thinking? That question, in essence, is what John Coates has devoted his life to answering. Coates once ran a derivatives desk at Deutsche Bank (DB) in New York, until he decided he was more interested in trying to figure out why people are such poor judges of risk than he was in trying to profit from it. Now a senior research fellow at the University of Cambridge, he is employing the tools of neuroscience to identify the biological basis of what John Maynard Keynes called the market’s “animal spirits.” In particular, Coates focuses on two hormones: testosterone, which increases our appetite for risk, and cortisol, which makes us shy away from it. Drawing on his Wall Street connections, he has been able to treat the trading floors of investment banks as his labs. The answers he’s finding could help financial institutions understand how the banking culture exacerbates the very tendencies...

...Introduction The genus Trichinella has undergone revision, due to the advent of reliable DNA probes that can be used to distinguish the various species that have been recently described.1, 2 There are 8 recognized genotypes (two are provisional).3 Members of the genus Trichinella are able to infect a broad spectrum of mammalian hosts, making them one of the world’s most widely-distributed group of nematode infections. Trichinella spp. are genetically related to Trichuris trichiura and Capillaria spp; all belong to the family Trichurata. These roundworms constitute an unusual group of organisms in the phylum Nematoda, in that they all live a part of their lives as intracellular parasites. | The diseases that Trichinella spp. cause are collectively referred to as trichinellosis. Currently, prevalence of trichinellosis is low within the United States, occurring mostly as scattered outbreaks,4 and the majority of human cases are due to Trichinella spiralis and T. murrelli. The domestic pig is the main reservoir host for T. spiralis. This species is significantly higher in prevalence in people living in certain parts of Europe, Asia, and Southeast Asia than in the United States. It is now considered endemic in Japan and China. A large outbreak of trichinellosis occurred in Lebanon in 1997, infecting over 200 people.5 Trichinella spiralis infection in humans has been reported from Korea for the first time.6 In contrast, trichinella infections in wildlife within the United States are...

...The Rocking Horse Winner The dramatic short story "The rocking horse winner," is about a young boy who desires to be loved by his mother. The author, D.H. Lawrence develops a theme that states, the desire for money and social status is a destructive force. The story is about a young boy named Paul who tries to win his mothers love by gambling for money. Paul has a supernatural power which he can commute with his rocking horse to find out the winning races. However, in the end Paul tries too hard to win his mothers love and dies. The moral theme is revealed through Paul, who is the protagonist, and his relationships with the characters. The relationships which result in conflict is between Paul's mother and father, between mother and Paul, Oscar and Paul and Paul and himself. The standard of living in their society is very important to Paul's family but it becomes a destructive force. The symbolism unrolls the theme by Paul's wooden rocking horse, his wild eyes and the whispering within the house. Thus, the theme is revealed by the use of relationships, and symbolism which in the end leads Paul to his awful death. D.H. Lawrence accomplishes the theme by using dramatic relationships with the characters. Paul's mother, Hester is determined to fit in with society but she does not notice that her desires are ruining her family. A conversation with Hester and Paul displays how she feels about Paul. Hester believes that being lucky is the key to becoming rich, but her belief has...

...This was it. Everything came down to this minute. I could feel the eyes of each individual in my nation enthusiastically stuck to their TV screens, effectively arranging out my moderate and frightful demise in the event that I didn't make this objective. The throbbing in my nose just increased as I attempted to pinpoint the point I would need to shoot it at with a specific end goal to keep away from the various safeguards running towards me. Recovering self-control, I let my eyes movement to the right and saw a whole mass of red in the stadium, applauding me and waving banners and standards circulating everywhere. The red helped me to remember my broken nose, which was currently draining lavishly onto my raised arm. Time appeared to ease off as I lifted my foot back and went for the highly contrasting ball before me. I felt my right foot have effect with the ball and I could swear I heard an aggregate breathe in from the whole gathering of people as it cruised through the air towards its objective. Abruptly, everything turned red.i began to frenzy, thinking my nose had truly arrived at its severing point and possibly fallen. At that point, I understood that my blood couldn't in any way, shape or form be weighing me down this much… and what was that shouting in my ear? An alternate wave of red pushed me downwards, and after that I was suffocating in it; it was all over the place. I felt myself being lifted upwards, and in my fringe vision I saw a face rise up out of the ocean...

Howell, Ph.D.September 20, 2010 | The Rocking-Horse Winner | Lust for materials objects, a stylish living, and money can become an obsession in life if one chooses this lifestyle. D.H. Lawrence’s story, “The Rocking-Horse Winner” possesses lust of things throughout the story. The obsessions in the story affects a woman named Hester and then she passes the obsession on to her son, Paul. Part of their obsession is to know if they are lucky people in life or if they are unlucky. Being lucky is just the beginning of Paul’s obsession. Hester is a beautiful woman who was blessed with the opportunity to marry a handsome man but their love eventually runs dry for each other. She has three children, a boy and two girls. However her behavior around people was not the same as when she was around the children. Around people Hester portrayed her love for her children, and they would say that she was a wonderful mother. She may have been able to fool people but she was not able to fool her own children, because they know she does not love them like a mother should. The children can see this in their mother’s eyes but they know of her obsessions with other things in life. This causes her to be neglectful towards her children by not showing the love that children need from their parents. However, their parents provide a nice house with “discreet” servants to help tend to the children and the house. But the mother and father...
