Introduction The planned International Conference – “Launching Strategy of a new product”, reported to our management and sales persons is a new Project and has to be well organized and effectively realized. To ensure that the project leads to a suitable performance and to improve project success, a Risk Management Plan needs to be developed very early in the planning stage. For the project success, it is essential that potential risks are identified, categorized and evaluated.

...1. (8) Draw an Activity Diagram with Swimlane based on the following scenario. You are asked to build a paper review system for an academic conference. You have come up with the following features for the system. 1. Process the receipt of a paper. This process records the detailed information of the submitted papers. It should also send out an acknowledgement to the author. 2. Assign Reviewers. This process suggests a possible list of reviewers for a submitted paper from a database of program committee (PC) members. The program chair then clicks on the names of three reviewers as the designated reviewers of the paper. The system then sends the assigned paper to reviewers. 3. Accept Papers. This process allows reviewers to submit their reviews. The program chair reads all reviews and decides which paper to accept. The status of a paper is updated as Accepted, and the corresponding author is informed of the acceptance. 4. Publish Conference Proceeding. This process formats and publishes the accepted papers in the electronic conference proceeding. [Note for ISGB 7905: Create DFD instead.] 2.

...Personal Development Planning For Postgraduate Research Students Postgraduate Personal Development Planning 1 INTRODUCTION Personal Development Planning (PDP) is a process already present in most PhD supervision and study practices. PDP is ‘a structured and supported process undertaken by an individual to reflect upon their own learning, performance and/or achievement and to plan for their personal, educational and career development’ (QAA 2001). This handbook provides guidelines for Postgraduate Research students at Queen’s on what PDP involves and to help you to get the most out of the process. Please note that there may be slight variations or specific requirements for you in your School or subject area. Key features of PDP: • PDP is an ongoing process, not a single document, nor is it carried out at a single point in time. • It provides you with the opportunity to plan, reflect on and record your progress, development and achievements. • PDP formalises good practice in working for and supervising a research degree. • PDP is a structured and supported process. The structure and support is provided by: - The Skills Analysis Questionnaire - The Postgraduate Skills Training Programme (PSTP) - Records of meetings with your supervisor(s) - Training plans - Formal reviews – 3 month, differentiation, and annual monitoring - Records and evidence of your achievement - Your evaluation and reflection of your progress, achievements and skills - Your research diary or log...

...The Board Meeting The Board meets at least five times each year and in addition, a regular update conference call takes place in the months when no formal meeting is scheduled. The agenda for each Board meeting is set by the Chairman in consultation with the Chief Executive and the Company Secretary. Board members receive a monthly report of the company’s activities which incorporates an update on progress against objectives and the management of business risks. The core activities of the Board are carried out in scheduled meetings of the Board and its Committees. Additional ad hoc meetings and conference calls are arranged to consider matters which require decisions outside the scheduled meetings Outside the scheduled meetings of the Board, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer maintain frequent contact with the other Directors to discuss any issues of concern they may have relating to the Group or their areas of responsibility, and to keep them fully briefed on the Group’s operations. To ensure that the Board sees the Company’s operations overseers, the Board normally holds at least one Board meeting each year at one of the principal overseer’s offices of the Group. This provides Senior Management from across the Group with the opportunity to present to the Board and to meet the Board members informally. It also provides the Board with an opportunity to meet a broad cross-section of staff, to assess senior managers at first hand and to review operational and especially...

...does it differ from conventional project management? A project is an effort a person or group or people undertake in creating unique result, product and service. It is a concept encompassing planning, executing, controlling and closing a mission objective. Burke (2002) asserts this mission objective can be large or small in size, varying among estimated completion period of about a day or years. Managing a project is so challenging because it involves uncertainty and constraint – there is no clear cut formula that works well with every project– and has different attributes (the unique purpose, the required resources, the project sponsor...). This ambiguity forms a paradigm shift for a project manager in succeeding with specific project portfolio. The effective use of tools and techniques however can leverage a project task congruous with applying EPM: The Enterprise Project Management. EPM according to PMBOK Guide (2008) is the management of all data regarding an organization’s projects. Enterprise project and program portfolio success is dependent on the effective applicability of the project met time, scope and cost goals (Schwalbe, 2011, pp.14). Conventional project management focuses on one project at a time but EPM tends to support an organization project or program portfolio – projects that the organization is pursuing– respectively but in an optimal way acknowledged by industry standards in achieving affirmed goals. Helping organizations and projects succeed is a key...

Tyco International Ltd. was founded in 1962 and became incorporated in 1962. (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, 2014) It has been around for quite a few years and seen the ups and downs of business and has learned from it and bounced back.

...Assessing and Keeping Records in the Classroom Documenting and keeping records of student progress through the use of rubrics, anecdotal records, and portfolios ensures well rounded grading practices. There are many methods for documenting student progress. There isn’t a single way that can be used for all subjects. Each subject, each assignment warrants its own method of grading or documentation depending on what the grade level expectation consists of. Using traditional grading methods, rubrics, portfolios and anecdotal records make for a wellrounded assessment practice. Using these assessment practices in combination allows for a better look at a student’s progress with standards. You will no doubt use traditional multiple choice, fill in the blank, true or false type assessments but for those assessments that aren’t nearly as straightforward, other methods are necessary. Anecdotal Records Anecdotal records are a great way to document student behaviours and academic progress over time. They can be useful in diagnosing a student’s difficulty in a particular subject area or simply to show mastering of a standard. Traditionally the teacher will take brief notes on a student’s interactions within the classroom with subject matter and peers. By keeping such notes, the teacher has a point of reference for the planning of how instruction as well as an additional tool for communication to parents of their child's progress. Maintaining a consistent system for taking...

...(R) CIFS PYP Assessment Policy Assessment in the PYP PYP Definition: Assessment is the gathering and analysis of information about student performance. It identifies what students know(knowledge), understand(concepts), can do(skills) and feel(attitudes/action) at various stages in the learning process. It is the means by which we analyze student learning and the effectiveness of our teaching and acts as a foundation on which to base our future planning and practice. It is central to our goal of guiding the child, from novice to expert, through the learning process. (Primary Years Program Assessment Handbook, January 2000. © International Baccalaureate Organization) Assessment is an integral part of the PYP curriculum which is the sum total of learning and teaching in schools. It is made up of three closely interrelated components. The written curriculum or What do we want to learn? The five essential elements: knowledge, concepts, skills, attitudes and action which the school identifies in the written curriculum. The taught curriculum or How best will we learn? The teaching strategies which will best support the types of learning that the programme seeks to promote. The assessed curriculum or How will we know what we have learned? Approaches to assessment, recording and reporting. (Making the PYP Happen: Figure 3, September 2000. © International...

Business school is not another opportunity to "find yourself." 8:00 AM. July 1, 2030. The 23rd floor of the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong. A woman sitting behind the mahogany desk calls a Shanghai trader to buy 200,000 shares of Alibaba stock. Moments later, she dashes into a videoconference with Tokyo analysts. When the conference finally concludes two hours later, the woman rushes down the stairs, hails a taxi to the Hong Kong International Airport, catches a flight to Thailand, and ends her day with a meeting with the CFO of Asus Computers. I look forward to maintaining this busy schedule as a portfolio manager of an international equity fund about ten years after obtaining my MBA.
