...issue posing challenges for international businesses and it is essential for them to respond to the challenges appropriately in order to succeed (Dunning, 1999). This essay will examine the issue of globalisation with a focus on business schools. It will also attempt to analyse how global business education providers have adapted in order to satisfy the requirements of local students. The analysis will further examine the wider connotations of the phenomenon as an important contemporary challenge faced by modern businesses and managers (Andrews) Globalisation- A Paradox Academics have highlighted the debate and development of globalisation and its effect on businesses and education(). Guttal (2006) recognises the discrepancy in the ideology and reality of the effects of globalisation and argues that globalisation may bring prosperity, increased access to knowledge and better living standards, through the creation of positive economic and political convergences there are risks, as it can also be viewed as antagonistic and hegemonic towards local populations and economies. (example) Global Expansion – Opportunities and Challenges Levene (2010) muses that globalisation is a contemporary issue for businesses expanding internationally. It is suggested that rapid changes due to globalisation have an enormous influence on global demand for education().Moreover, it is argued that global sustainability is a key factor in the future of business schools and the education of future managers...

...students and teachers in a classroom. However, with the emergence of online education, virtual classrooms are replacing the long-established classroom setting. Although online learning has many advantages for some students, it can also lead to some difficult challenges. In order for online education to be successful, it is crucial that those challenges are identified and efficiently dealt with. Organizational skills, time management, and effective communication are key elements for a successful online education. Having organizational skills is one of the important keys for online education success. I will use the organizational skills I have learned in my professional career to arrange my work into time intervals that will allow me to complete certain parts that need to be completed at a given time. By using the strategy, the amount of time that I usually waste will decrease. Organizational skills are not limited to time and work; it extends beyond materials and workspace. Working with my newfound organizational skills will also make my work and everyday routine more precise and deliberate; I will be a lot more conscious and sure of what I will be doing later. By having, a schedule I will be more prepared and lessen the tension, and in turn, my daily function will be more efficient. Another key for online education success is effective time management. No matter how one approaches time management, there will always be some limitations. The more organized I become, the...

...PAD 530 Public Personnel Management Collective Bargaining Dr. Shelly Thomas Brandon Stokes February 17th, 2012 Compare and contrast three (3) of the major union organizations in the United States Since 1857 the National Education Association has united educators from across the country to have voice for public education. During this time having the ability to read and write was not as common as it is today. Often times this was looked at as a crime for most black children, and minorities. Now in 2012 education has advanced and transformed into not only a profession but a way of life. The NEA has over 2.5 million members and is growing each and every day (National Education Assosication, 2002). NEA advocates for the justice and equality for education for all children regardless of income, race, religion, or orientation. The NEA strives to have great public schools for every student, and to advocate for education professionals to help fulfill a promise we have to our public education systems. The promise is to help prepare every student to succeed in a diverse and interdependent world (National Education Assosication, 2002). Public education is a given right to every citizen, and is a vital part of building respect for the worth, dignity, and equality of every individual in our diverse society. Education is the foundation of our republic, and should always be taken seriously. Al Sharpton said “Literacy is the key to Liberation”, I know this to be true. Communications...
