...Hult is the best business school where to pursue an MIB degree A college or university is an institution of learning. It is a place which moulds the life of an individual. One of the biggest decisions of life includes the decision to decide the university to join. In education industry there are many top ranked business schools and universities but according to me Hult is the best place to pursue MIB degree. In Hult you get the chance to study in 3 campuses out of 6 across the world, it is highly ranked in financial times and The Economist, it gives you an opportunity to be the part of Hult prize, diversity in class, you get an Ipad for the studies, etc. Out of all these reasons I would like to explain first three reasons which are the main reasons. Global rotation up to 3 campuses Very few universities gives opportunities to study at more than one location where as Hult provide an opportunity to study at 3 different locations across the globe out of 6 campuses. It provides an opportunity to work with different people and different economies. And being a Business student it is necessary to have international exposure and international networking and Hult’s global rotation program gives an opportunity to have international exposure. As said by the Hult President, Dr. Stephen Hodges “Practical experience is crucial for anyone who wants to understand the subtle differences between doing business in the world’s most powerful economies.” And with Hult we can study and explore the...

I had been a sales manager in my previous job for four and half years, at the same time I was in charge of establishing new divisions and new markets, I had to initiate a reporting system which was converted to a professional customer relationship management software”. “My qualifications qualified me to be honored by the board of directors of the Hess Group and appoint me as the head of its subsidiary in the Middle East in Dubai, where I am currently stationed.

...recognized politically. This essay will endeavour to examine the language planning policy of Sweden, and in particular evaluate such policy in its effectiveness as a language. English as a language has gained exponential attention world-wide for its dominance as a result of globalisation, this is particularly obvious when examining the language planning policies of the different nations of the world (Hult, 2012; Spolsky, 2004 in Hult, 2004). It can be argued that within Sweden the previously strong Swedish official language is now being threatened by the implementation of English (Hult, 2004). While Swedish is the singular recognized official language of Sweden, English has extreme prominence as a language of academic instruction and as aforementioned has been argued to be of threat to the Swedish language (Winsa, 1999). Since gaining membership to the European Union, the English vernacular has seen rapid growth within the nation (Hylenstam, 1996 in Winsa, 1999). The language is being used for academic instruction and has become a core subject within certain schools across the country (Hult, 2012; Winsa, 1999). This can be argued to give a level of social prestige as the language is being used in a formal environment. It is likely that English within...

...HULT International Business School EMBA Carlo Giorgis HULT International Business School Executive MBA CHANGE MANAGEMENT The reorganization of the Group Internal Audit Department FINAL assignment: Carlo Giorgis Change Management 1 HULT International Business School EMBA Carlo Giorgis EXECUTIVE SUMMARY UniCredit is one of the largest European financial groups, operating in 22 European countries with around 160.000 employees worldwide and 9.500 branches. In 2005, following the merger with HVB and the appointment of a new Head of Department, the Internal Audit Department (IAD) was reorganized. The expected results were obtained later than planned, with large resistances, process and relationships disruptions and bureaucracy increase. Main reasons were due to a simplistic approach to change, an inadequate leadership style, lack of compelling vision and insufficient communication. The IAD restructure could have been managed more effectively with a different approach in terms of: Organization metaphor: IAD has aspects of both Machine and Organism (Morgan, 1986); Model of change: William Bridges’s Model (Managing the transition, 1991) and Kotter Eight Steps (1995); People’s management, keeping into account the Behavioral (Pavlov, 1928 – Skinner, 1953) and Psychodynamic (Kubler-Ross, 1969 – Satir et al, 1991) approaches; Team’s management, building a project team taking into account the personal traits of team members (Belbin, 1981), involving external...

...For the exclusive use of Y. Likaku, 2015. 9-704-427 REV: NOVEMBER 29, 2005 PANKAJ GHEMAWAT MICHAEL G. RUKSTAD JENNIFER L. ILLES Arcor: Global Strategy and Local Turbulence These last few years have been spent constructing a Latin American Arcor. In the next five years, we are going to have a global Arcor. — Luis Pagani, President, Arcor Group In May 2003, Argentina was slowly beginning to emerge from the country’s most devastating financial crisis. Half a year earlier, the crisis had peaked: the peso had devalued by 70%, the government had ordered a freeze on all bank withdrawals, and many local companies had fallen into financial default. In the wake of the disaster, Luis Pagani, president of Arcor Group, Latin America’s leading candy and chocolate manufacturer, was one of the few Argentine entrepreneurs remaining whose company was still financially stable. However, the crisis was taking its toll on even the most successful and healthy corporations. The crisis happened to hit Arcor at a critical time in the unfolding of its long-term strategic plans. Pagani had worked hard to make Arcor a dominant player in the Latin American confectionery market and had recently laid out plans to increase its presence in other regions. By 1999, he was ready to implement his strategy and was eager to work toward competing on the level of other multinational manufacturers, such as Mars, Nestlé, Kraft, Hershey, and Cadbury Schweppes. However, Arcor’s response to the...

...For the exclusive use of Q. WEI2015. 9-699-012 REV: JULY 23, 2002 STEFAN THOMKE Innovation at 3M Corporation (A) On the evening of October 23, 1997, Rita Shor, senior product specialist at 3M, looked across the conference room at her team from the Medical-Surgical Markets Division. She wondered when to draw to close the intense ongoing debate on the nature of the team’s recommendations to the Health Care Unit’s senior management. A hand-picked group of talented individuals, the team had embarked on a new method for understanding customer needs called “Lead User Research.” But this initiative to introduce leading-edge market research methods into 3M’s legendary innovation process had now grown into a revolutionary series of recommendations that threatened to rip apart the division. While senior management wanted the “Lead User” team to execute a manageable project involving surgical draping material to protect surgery patients from infections, the team now wanted to rewrite the entire business unit’s strategy statement to also include more pro-active products or services that would permit the upstream containment of infectious agents such as germs. This went against the incrementalist approach that for so long had pervaded 3M. After all, as Mary Sonnack, division scientist and an internal 3M consultant on the new Lead User methodology, noted “3M gets so much revenue from incremental products . . . like a blue Post-it note instead of just a yellow one.” ...

...Question 1 Introduction Louw and Venter (2010:20) explain that strategic management is concerned with the overall effectiveness and choice of direction in a dynamic, complex and ambiguous environment. The success of an organisation is mainly determined by the effectiveness and efficiency of its management. In the words of Peter Drucker, efficiency is concerned with ‘doing things right’, while effectiveness is concerned with ‘doing the right thing’. Strategic management is the deliberate effort to allocate resource and get above average returns through competitive advantage so that in the long run the organisation can generate wealth maximization for its stakeholders. There are a number of advantages of strategic management as stated by Pearce and Robinson (2009:10), it helps reduce resistance to change therefore getting buy in from all stakeholders is critically important. It also results in better decisions because it facilitates group interaction. Group based strategic decisions generate a variety of specialized input which involves all the different areas in the organisation and an in depth range of alternatives and makes it more likely that the best solutions will be chosen. Strategic management enhances the organisation’s ability to prevent problems. It creates a framework through which managers can encourage their staff to focus on planning, monitoring and evaluating the success of these plans. There are also disadvantages of strategic management as Pearce and Robinson...

...BANGLADESHFIN 621 (EXECUTIVE MBA PROGRAM) Finance & Economic Analysis Section E1Dr. Amitava ChatterjeeJune 30, 2016 | TEAM 7James JohnsonSarah KorpitaMichael McClureRandy Milton | | | | | | | Bangladesh’s Textile Industry Theoretically, free trade eliminates imposed governmental barriers to international trade. Expressively, free trade is a Pandora box of confusing issues addressing basic rights, international fiscal development, ecological principles and global employment formations (Chmielewski and Media, 2016). Chmielewski and Media (2016) implied that free trade was the best thing that could happen to Bangladesh’s textile industry. Free trade is an attempt to improve the international economy on the principle of “comparative advantage”. Bangladesh prospered by using their abundance of textile to trade for products that other countries have abundance. The main purpose of the “free trade” was to improve the global economy using the principle of “comparative advantage”. The shift to a free trade regime in the textile industry was good for Bangladesh’s employment and economic growth. Initially, textile products were exported through a preferential quota system from poor markets to rich markets but the shift accounted for lower labor cost, support from other industries, and increased business with western importers. Labor costs decreased to a level lower than China. Lower labor cost was due to low hourly wages and the use of technology. The use of technology...

...Wal-Mart Stores Inc., popularly known as Wal-Mart is one of the world’s largest retailers. It operates a system of an efficient network of cross docking facilities which enables it to keep a minimal store inventory while simultaneously enabling more frequent supplies to the retail stores. This system is reliant on a sophisticated highway transportation system in the United States which allows Wal-Mart to accurately estimate arrival and departure times of delivery trucks at their cross-docking facilities nationwide, therefore giving them a smooth flow of inventory. When Wal-Mart expanded their operations into South America, it had to adapt its approach as it cross-docking system as it was experiencing difficulty in running logistic as infrastructures are as developed as that of the United States. Wal-Mart South America experience shows that operating supply chains internationally require that the firms are able to adapt their existing supply chain strategies in their home countries to the new environment or develop new strategies that are suitable for each country they expand to. Therefore, a successful entry into India by Wal-Mart is dependent on how well the country can execute the following steps. Understand your service supply chain i. Determine the needs of your customers and convey those needs down the supply chain ii. Obtain high quality suppliers iii. Maintain a competitive advantage by offering high value Understanding your service supply chain. The...
