In 1930’s realist and idealist argued over the nature of the international politics and the possibility of the peaceful change and the Marxist critics (Paul and Mark, 1987:1-3). International Relations According to Johari (2009:1-39) the international relations are the study of the political and social interaction of state, non-state and individuals. In the recent years the increasing interaction among these actors, coupled with advances in informational technology and the spread of human rights, have raised many new questions for international relations scholars, practitioners, and students. International relations as a discipline is chiefly concerned with what state do on the world stage and in turn, how their actions affect other states, correspondingly states are a common unit of analysis in theories of international relation, many analysis focus on states and their interactions to explain observed patterns of world politics. The state is fundamental to neorealism and neoliberal institutionalism, international relations is largely about states, it enables us to conclude that the changing relations among the nation-state of the world many range from cooperation on the one side to conflict on the opposite side with the intermediary level of limitedcooperation or they may assume...

...Impact of E-Banking on Capital Bank and local area banking industry in India Coursework- Technology in Business and Society Shahbaz Singh Samra - B022337 Executive Summary The task commissioned was to assess the application of a technology to support organizational change. This report concentrates on how electronic banking (e-banking) has contributed to Capital Local Area Bank (CLAB) and the local area banking industry in India. Focus lies upon CLAB’s operations and how the bank incorporated e-banking to revolutionize and set standards for transparent and efficient banking in the state of Punjab. E-Banking gives strategic value to the organization and the industry because it adds a new dimension to the bank to offer its products and services. It gives the organization a comparative advantage over its rivals. However, local area banks might have to suffer loss of business done through their physical branches especially in urban and more developed areas. This, however, would be a positive for CLAB as the overall business generated would be higher and it gives its customers a facility that is yet to be provided by its competitors. E-Banking t is very cost effective for the bank. A bank, in order to expand efficiently, would be better off investing in e-banking rather than expanding its customer outreach through increasing the number of physical branches. Inevitably, e-banking does have some issues and challenges than an organization would have to overcome to...

...increased globalization over the years has brought an increase in many problems associated with global trading including ethical ones. (WTO, 2011). As indicated by World Trade organization in 2011, there was significant expansion in world trade from 1950 to 2000. This increase was documented to be over twenty-fold with foreign direct investment and exports playing a significant role. This increase in world trade in the middle to late 20th century also saw small businesses increasing their investments in cross border trading. This resulted in an increase in the average yearly outflow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from about $25 billion in 1975 to a record $1.3 trillion in 2000. (UN, 2001). This means that there were a great number of business people with different social and cultural backgrounds doing business in other areas of different geographical, political, legal, social and cultural environments. The challenges that confronted these business people working in these different environments with its associated social and cultural problems created a platform for indulgence in ethical problems and other issues. (Dagdelen, Elibol & Yucel, 2009). Cross border trade experienced a great change and increase getting to the end of the cold war and this resulted in significant changes in the rules and conditions “governing the conduct of international business and this brought about several ethical issues with respect to the conduct of cross border trade and pursuit of profit” (Kimura...

...VOICE MAIL SYSTEM “Enthusiasm is contagious,” says Hasbrouck. “If you don’t feel like leaving a message, just hang up. You need to be in the right frame of mind. If you don’t sound like someone they want to talk to, they won’t ever respond.” INTRODUCTION: Voice mail was introduced in the late 1970s. Gordon Mathews founded a company called VMX in 1979. VMX stood for "voice mail express," and Mathews received a U.S. patent for his digital invention in 1982. VMX was the first voice mail provider service, its first client being 3M. The system recorded and managed messages using the digital technology available during the late 1970s and 1980s. Some companies still use their VMX systems.

...Lynwood Stewart John Rodman MKTG-451 Professional Seller Interview Paper During the summer of 2014, I interned for Aflac, Inc. and was mentored by a man named Dale Shaddock (see Appendix A). Though the internship proved unsuccessful, I learned plenty from Mr. Shaddock about sales and the life that accompanies personal selling. Before the interview, I viewed personal selling as necessary, but never bothered to delve deeper and conceptualize the reasons behind the importance of personal selling. This assignment has changed my perspective on 5 key aspects of personal selling: teamwork skills, customer value proposition, self-leadership, sales dialogue planning, and the characteristics of sales careers. These aspects give a more comprehensive outlook on personal selling and how it applies to my life. Teamwork is one of the skills that remain an essential part of any organization. One of the first questions I asked Mr. Shaddock was to “Describe the importance of leadership and teamwork in your field?” He replied, “If I can’t rely on my guys and vice versa, how would we anything get done? Teamwork is fundamental at this level.” A very simple response, but when referring back to Sell 4 and the skills that translate to increased sales and organizational performance, it proves relevant. To be specific, understanding the other individuals and showing personal integrity are two teamwork skills that I have come to value highly. Understanding the other individuals is key when...

...research in 2009 showed that the figure was 75%, suggesting that CSR concerns have been increasing year by year. Two perspectives are used to assess these facts. The first is that while CSR is of necessary concern for corporate executives, the quality of CSR adherence has become a crucial matter for stakeholders. The second is that there is a way to differentiate the diversified CSR activities, although they have become more complex and have been elevated to a higher level.

...the advantages and disadvantages of the partnership in a business? There are many advantages to having one or more partners in a business and few disadvantages. As long as it’s the right business relationship, it can make running a business much easier and less stressful. For instance, partners can fill in for each other when traveling, if the other is sick, or if one of them just wants to take some time off. It’s important to choose carefully, when deciding on the right person to partner with. For instance, partners skilled in different areas have advantages. One partner can run the operations, over see the logistics, or take care of the accounting; while the other partner focuses on promotional material, servicing clients, or cold-calling for...
