...Current trends in business communication Sharon D. Ledford COM/285 September 20, 2011 Daniel Smith Current trends in business communication “As technology is advancing, so is the world of business communication. A long time ago, businesspeople wrote letters to their clients and meetings held in person. Today’s world of business communication has a much different look. Devices such as personal digital -assistant, and teleconferences are meant to increase productivity and means of communicating with customers. E-mails had become a preferred means of communicating to coworkers and your clients.” “Social media networking officially has crossed over from used socially to an important and viable method of customer relationship management. Using tools like Facebook, blogs, public forums, and wiki sites, businesses can better know how to attract and keep their customers. Customer relationship management begins with acquiring new customers through contact management, sales, and customer satisfaction. Enhancing customer relationship management occurs through excellent business communication and use of customer service tools such as product experts and ease of purchasing. Retaining customers occurs through loyalty and reward. Customer relationship management or databases can notify the business owner of long- term clients and create the ability to receive customers through promotional measures. Streamlining every phase of business communication will always...

...Term Paper: History of Intel and its microprocessors The microprocessor is a chip made of silicon that holds a central processing unit. Both the term’s central processing unit or CPU and microprocessor can be used and mean the same thing. The human brain has been compared to a microprocessor. Microprocessors are ultra fast calculators and what makes a microprocessor appear intelligent is the speed at which it can process data. The electronics industry names, microprocessors first by makers name and then model family name or number. A recent example, are the Intel Core i7 and AMD FX 8 Core Black Edition. Microprocessors provides scientist, engineers, architects, graphic designers, researchers, and other professionals with the processing power users to perform all the many functions needed to do their jobs and make new discoveries and explore what before could not have been even imagined. The history of microprocessors will be covered; this includes the history of Intel Corporation, important highlights in the development of the microprocessor. All digital computers use electronic switches. These switches represent binary digits or bits. The first computers used vacuum tubes as switches to represent on-or-off binary data, but vacuum tubes had many problems. Without the invention of the transistor, microprocessors and the modern computer would not be possible. Bell Laboratory engineers John Bardeen and Walter Brattain invented the transistor in 1947 (transistor). Transistors...

...barrier’ during his descent. The wealth of audio-visual material and animations available makes this a particularly attractive case study to instruct students in elementary kinematics, approximation and physical modelling. Introduction On 16 August 1960, Captain (later Colonel) Joseph Kittinger, USAF, jumped from the helium filled balloon Excelsior III, at an altitude of 31 600 m (102 800 ft). His parachute jump remains the highest altitude jump ever made, and the balloon ascent is also the highest altitude ever attained by a manned balloon [1, 2]. Meanwhile, somewhat less heroically and some 45 years later, one of the authors (AWR) began to include ‘back of the envelope’ or ‘Fermi problems’ in one of his first-year university physics courses. The objectives of this are to get the students to think like a real physicist and...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACK GROUND INFORMATION OF THE STUDY A tour package is an offer of a tour program composed of transportation, accommodation along with an escorted tour in an exchange for a predetermined single price (Business dictionary .com). It is sold to holiday makers by tour operators, travel agencies or directly by airlines through online or agency arrangements. Holiday package is a marketing strategy that helps related businesses come together to Work in partnership to sell their products through product bundling (Venkatesh and Kamakura,2003) . Nowadays different airlines of the World are involved in selling air transport service through the same Way by entering contractual agreements with various service providers such as hoteliers or tour companies .As a result most carriers such as Emirates, South African Air ways, Kenyan Airways etc are the beneficiary of this strategy mainly due to their own home base are tourist destinations .When it comes to Ethiopian airlines the actual fact is contradictory in that it has not been a beneficiary of its own country tourism attractions through product bundling .And the holiday package development is at its infantile stage. As a result the national carrier became highly dependent on the 6th freedom traffic right. That is 65 % of the total traffic are transiting Addis Ababa as stated on Ehiopian Airlines Annual commercial report (2010). As such no attention was given until recently to develop in-house package.

...What Business Model Advantage Differs from Competitive Advantage: A Case Study of 7-Eleven Japan Yuwei Shi, Ph.D. Fisher Graduate School of International Business Monterey Institute of International Studies 460 Pierce Street Monterey, CA 93940 Phone: (831) 647 6682 E-mail: yuwei.shi@miis.edu Keywords: Business model, strategic management, competitive strategy 2 Abstract This paper introduces a business model framework based on a synthesis of a wide array of diverse business model definitions and related arguments. The intention is to make the theory discussions on business model more useful to the design, development and analysis of actual business models. The synthesis follows the mainstream strategic management theories of profit under competition. The business model framework includes four interrelated component models: the exchange model, the organizational model, the resource model, and the financial model, each with its own strategic logics. Together these component models and their strategic logics describe a comprehensive business model, which enables more meaningful strategic analysis. In order to demonstrate the use of this framework, particularly in comparison with the more traditional competitive analysis, this paper also applies the framework to analyzing the business model of 7-Eleven Japan. It states the additional insights drawn from the comparative analyses, and draws implications for the managerial task of business model design...

CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT OF the CITY OF ELMIRA, New York, Defendant. Supreme Court, Special Term, Chemung County. Feb. 1, 1974. CHARLES B. SWARTWOOD, Justice. This is a motion for summary judgment in an action for declaratory judgment whereby the plaintiff seeks, first, a determination that the contract wherein the plaintiff agreed to supply milk to the defendant school district at an agreed price be terminated without further liability on the grounds of legal "impossibility' or "impracticality' because of the occurrence of events not contemplated by the parties which makes performance impracticable and, second, a determination that the defendant school district has authority to unilaterally relieve the plaintiff of its contract without violating Article 8, Section 1 of the New York State Constitution. We commend counsel on the quality of their briefs. The background of this dispute is that the price of raw milk at the farm site is and has been controlled for many years in this area by the United States Department of Agriculture through the New York-New Jersey Market Administrator. The president of the plaintiff milk dealer has for at least ten years bid on contracts to supply milk for the defendant school district and is thoroughly conversant with prices and costs. Though the plaintiff avers that the defendant was aware of...

...Korean War Korean War The Korean War (25 June 1950 - armistice signed 27 July 1953[1] ) was a military conflict between the Republic of Korea, supported by the United Nations, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, supported by the People's Republic of China (PRC), with military material aid from the Soviet Union. The war was a result of the physical division of Korea by an agreement of the victorious Allies at the conclusion of the Pacific War at the end of World War II. The Korean peninsula was ruled by Japan from 1910 until the end of World War II. Following the surrender of Japan in 1945, American administrators divided the peninsula along the 38th Parallel, with United States troops occupying the southern part and Soviet troops occupying the northern part.[2] The failure to hold free elections throughout the Korean Peninsula in 1948 deepened the division between the two sides, and the North established a Communist government. The 38th Parallel increasingly became a political border between the two Koreas. Although reunification negotiations continued in the months preceding the war, tension intensified. Cross-border skirmishes and raids at the 38th Parallel persisted. The situation escalated into open warfare when North Korean forces invaded South Korea on 25 June 1950.[3] It was the first significant armed conflict of the Cold War.[4] The United Nations, particularly the United States, came to the aid of South Korea in repelling the invasion.
