...PRE-SELF-ASSESSMENT OF LEADERSHIP VALUES, BELIEFS, KNOWLEDGE, AND SKILLS Name __________________________________ Date __________________________ Background : Leaders are persons who have a sense of direction – “vision” – for the purpose of their work. They have an ability to “see the big picture” and inspire others to move forward together to achieve this vision. Leaders can work effectively at all levels of an organization or endeavor. Sometimes they are “up front;” sometimes they work quietly from behind the scenes. They also have a strong foundation of values, are comfortable with themselves, and respect others. Leaders possess a variety of values, characteristics and skills. Not everyone has the same mix or the same strengths. We are all different. This self-assessment has been developed for you to reflect on some of these characteristics as they apply to you.

...Buss4 essay – Lewis Maher 19/5/16 QUESTION: The Intel Corporation produces microprocessors that are used in computers. It has a market share of over 75% and has been praised for its highly innovative culture. Do you think that an innovative culture can be relied on to guarantee the future success of a business? Justify your answer with reference to Intel and/or other organisations you know. ( 40 marks ) The main reason why Out and About PLC should adopt Lisa’s plan is due to the current success of the firm. The firms current market shares and profits have reduced by 15%, due to the increased competition by JJB and Argos. The new plan to target the extreme sports market would be beneficial to Out and About because the market is growing rapidly, which is complete opposite to their current position. Also, they could have an oligopolistic share of the market, which could mean increased profits, due to economies of scale and the reduction of costs. Whereas Out and About are losing 15% market share, the extreme sports market is growing by 15.7% in the next few years, and Out and About could enjoy a turnaround of success. A second reason why Out and About should adopt Lisa’s plan is because it would provide them with a new brand image. Currently, only 5% of under 21s and 15% of 21 to 30 are aware of Out and About. However, even less shop here and the reputation of traditional merchandise puts off younger shoppers. Out and Abouts market research has given them a specific market...

...Sarah Allmond, Kamal Assaf, Doug Bice, and Renee Burkart Dr. Mike Marzano Logistics Management February 21, 2013 Infrastructure in India India’s port, road, and rail networks need massive capital investment. The ports in India are operating beyond their intended capacity in spite of the construction of a number of new sites. Moreover, there are bottlenecks when clearing goods from customs: the time required to clear goods in India is twice that of South Korea and Thailand and three times that of the average for members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Since most ports are overstretched and the time taken to obtain customs clearance is quite long, companies in India hold large inventories. Poor road and rail networks exacerbate these problems. India is presently ranked 17th in the maritime nations of the world. About 95% by volume and 70% by value of the contry’s trade is carried on through meritime transport. The country’s coastline comprises 12 major ports (Chennai, Ennore, Haldia, Pradip, Kandla, Kochi, Kolkata, Marmagao, Mumbai, New Manglaore, Tuticorin and Visakhapatnam) and 187 minor and intermediate ports. FDI up to 100% under the automatic route is permitted in the construction and maintenance of prots and harbours, maritime transport services and internal waterways transport services. The department of Shipping is also planning to enact a Shipping Trade Practices Act, which is presently in the daraft stage. The government...

...Summary of The World Is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman LENGTH: 4976 words HEADLINE: It's a Flat World, After All BYLINE: By Thomas L. Friedman. Thomas L. Friedman is the author of ''The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century,'' to be published this week by Farrar, Straus & Giroux and from which this article is adapted. His column appears on the Op-Ed page of The Times, and his television documentary ''Does Europe Hate Us?'' will be shown on the Discovery Channel on April 7 at 8 p.m. BODY: In 1492 Christopher Columbus set sail for India, going west. He had the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. He never did find India, but he called the people he met ''Indians'' and came home and reported to his king and queen: ''The world is round.'' I set off for India 512 years later. I knew just which direction I was going. I went east. I had Lufthansa business class, and I came home and reported only to my wife and only in a whisper: ''The world is flat.'' And therein lies a tale of technology and geoeconomics that is fundamentally reshaping our lives -- much, much more quickly than many people realize. It all happened while we were sleeping, or rather while we were focused on 9/11, the dot-com bust and Enron -- which even prompted some to wonder whether globalization was over. Actually, just the opposite was true, which is why it's time to wake up and prepare ourselves for this flat world, because others already are, and there is no time to waste. I wish I could say I saw...

...Chapter 2 Closing Case: Google’s Mission, Ethical Principels, and Involvement in China Google, the fast growing Internet search engine company, was established with a clear mission in mind: to organize the world’s information and make it universally acceptable and useful. This mission has driven Google to create a search engine that on the basis of key words entered by the user will scan the web for text, images, videos, news articles, books, and academic journals, among other things. Google has built a highly profitable advertising business on the back of its search engine, which is by far the most widely used in the world. Under the pay-per-click business model, advertisers pay Google every time a user of its search engine clicks on one of the paid links typically listed on the right hand side of Google’s results page. Google has long operated with the mantra “don’t be evil”! When this phrase was originally formulated, the central message was that Google should never compromise the integrity of its search results. For example, Google decided not to let commercial considerations bias its ranking. This is why paid links are not included in its main search results, but listed on the right hand side of the results page. The mantra “don’t be evil”, however, has become more than that at Google; it has become a central organizing principle of the company and an ethical touchstone by which managers judge all of its strategic decisions. Google’s mission and mantra raised...

(Email: mdaslam@iiu. edu.my) b Department of Economics, International Islamic University Malaysia, Jalan Gombak, 53100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. (Email: hafasf@gmail.com) a ABSTRACT This paper argues that research and publications in the area of methodology of Islamic economics is very significant for a meaningful development of the discipline. Although the discussion on methodology of Islamic economics in contemporary Islamic economics literature is rather limited, this paper reviews the works of selected scholars who have attempted to present works on ‘methodology’ and their approach to the process of theory building in Islamic economics. The paper then presents some implications of these views based on the position that methodology investigates the criteria, rationalizations, arguments and justifications used in theory appraisal as well as evaluating the reliability of theories, this paper concludes that greater resources, both human and financial, need to be channeled to developing uÎūl al-iqtiÎād, a fundamental, but vastly, neglected area of research in contemporary Islamic economics...
