...New Employee Orientation Programme First Few Sips - Coca-Cola India Submitted To Professor Srimannarayana 12th August, 2013 First Few Sips- An Overview of Employee Orientation Program Coca-Cola India is lean organization with a total workforce of around 200-250 employees. Due to the structure, resource requirement and intake is restricted to merely 30-40 heads per year. This makes the training program more customized and individual focussed rather than standard. The common orientation program – First Few Sips however, remains standard yet adaptable to accommodate changes. This program is conducted every 3-4 months. Since, only about 10-12 people join the organization every quarter, HR waits for the availability of a group of new employees before it conducts this orientation program. The reason behind this is the involvement of the Leadership Team. They cannot be made free for individual orientation and thus, there is a requirement of a sizeable group. The itinerary of the orientation program is as follows: Day 1: The new employees meet Atul Singh and Venkatesh Kini in an open house where they get an opportunity to ask these leaders about their experiences. Ice breaking events are conducted. Day 2: Market Visit. This gives the new employees an exposure to the real time developments in the market and thus the related issues and business problems. Day 3: Talks and Open House discussions with Vice Presidents of the various Business Functions. Day 4: Plant visit to a bottling...

...continues to be the most popular choice, one in five students (55 000) opted for Erasmus job placements in companies. The three most popular destinations for Erasmus students in 2012-2013 were Spain, Germany and France. Countries sending the highest number of students as a proportion of their graduate population were Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Finland, Latvia and Spain. "For 27 years, Erasmus has enabled students to spend time abroad to broaden their horizons and improve their skills. The latest figures show that Erasmus is more popular than ever. As well as contributing to a sense of belonging to the European family, the skills which Erasmus promotes also help students to boost their employability and career prospects. Our new Erasmus+ programme will enable even more young people to study, train, work or volunteer abroad in the next seven years," said Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth. IP/14/821 The statistics show that the average Erasmus grant, designed to cover part of the costs of living abroad and travel, was €272 per month, a 9% increase on the previous year (€250). The grant is topped up in some countries by national, regional or institutional funds. Erasmus is not just an exchange scheme for students: in 2012-2013 more than 52 600 academic and administrative staff received funding from Erasmus to teach or train abroad. The experience they gain not only benefits the individual concerned but also the quality...

..."Sex on the Moon: The Amazing Story Behind the Most Audacious Heist in History" by Ben Mezrich tells the true story of a young man named Thad Roberts who masterminded the first crime ever to take place in NASA. Thad Roberts, a fellow in a prestigious NASA program had an idea—a romantic, albeit crazy, idea. He wanted to give his girlfriend the moon. Literally Thad convinced his girlfriend and another female accomplice, both NASA interns, to break into an impregnable laboratory at NASA's headquarters—past security checkpoints, an electronically-locked door with cipher security codes and camera-lined hallways—and help him steal the most precious objects in the world:the moon rocks. Mezrich has pored over thousands of pages of court records, FBI transcripts, and NASA documents, and has interviewed most of the participants in the crime to reconstruct the madcap story of genius, love, and duplicity all centered around an Ocean’s Eleven style heist that reads like a Hollywood thrill-ride. Mezrich uses his trademark narrative non-fiction style to tell the story, which basically means it reads like fiction. While his stories are extensively researched and are factual (though perhaps biased in some cases), the books are written in such a way that they are very engaging and easy to read. Sex on the Moon went by much more quickly than an average work of non-fiction; it was fascinating and the pages flew by. Thad Roberts is portrayed as a lost and wandering soul who finally found...

After completing one year of studies about economy, I changed my course to L.E.A. I realised that my interest lies more with foreign languages rather than economy only. In L.E.A I study Law, economy and three languages (English, Spanish and Italian) however, English is still my major subject. As I have always planned to spend some time abroad during my studies, I chose the Erasmus program because I am particularly interested in spending a year at an English-speaking university. I think this is a unique chance to combine my university studies with first-hand experience of life in an English-speaking country. In my opinion living on campus at another university in a foreign country is an extraordinary opportunity which can only be experienced during the time of studies. After, I will still be able to go abroad, but I won't have time to study at another university anymore because of work. The University of Auckland is my first choice for my stay due to the variety of courses it offers. Alongside improving my spoken and written English, I also hope to gain insight into the...

...Kelly is a 22-year old recent college graduate who signed up to through the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program. She was hired as an assistant language teacher (ALT) in Soto and was confident that she knew what to expect. After a few months working there, Kelly had gotten the flu and called her boss notifying him that she would not be able to go to work for a couple of days. Her boss was aware that foreigners are known to call in sick to extend the length of their weekends so he asked her to get a doctor’s note. When Kelly returned to work, she found out that her vacation time was being used for her time out while she was sick. She discussed this issue with her employer but the he tells her that it is out of respect that employees in Japan use their vacation time when or if they take a sick leave. Kelly does not feel that it is fair to use her vacation time for sick leave since her contract with the program clearly guarantees that she is allotted sick time. She has decided to call the head of the program and complain about her boss’s failure to acknowledge and follow the contract of her employment. The benefits of tangible can be measured in terms of money involving at company with its employees.

...Dear ….. With this letter, I would like to express my interest in studying at the FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences as an Erasmus student. I am currently studying a Bachelor’s Degree program in Economics at the Dokuz Eylul University in Izmir. Having looked through the materials of the Foreign Department of my university, I was very delighted to find the opportunity to spend one semester learning Business Studies at the FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences. I have decided to apply for this program because I am sure it would strongly enrich my future studies and help me in my prospective career. Moreover, I consider this program as a great opportunity to get in touch with German culture and educational system. Last but not least, I am very curious about different approaches to the business studies at the foreign university. I would like to emphasize that I am eager to benefit from this program, as I will get to know better Erasmus students from the whole Europe, exchanging experiences and practices. I advocate the opinion that Erasmus program is an excellent opportunity to meet various groups of young people, spend quality time with them and get to know their habits, attitudes, lifestyle, etc. Also, living, studying and having fun within international scholars would broaden my horizons and enable me to build a strong social network with people through our continent.

...How does the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme promote learning? The International Baccalaureate Diploma programme was established to provide ‘the educational needs of globally mobile students’ (IBO 2012 p.3), allowing them to gain a recognised qualification to allow them access to further education in universities around the world. Beyond these very broad objectives the initial programme was based on three fundamental principles, which outlined the IB’s approach to learning: * to provide a broad education, establishing the basic knowledge and critical thinking skill * to develop international understanding and citizenship * to provide choice within a balanced curriculum to allow the students interests to be fulfilled (ibid). The aim as Peterson has suggested was to not to just provide a place for the ‘acquisition of general knowledge, but the development of the general powers of the mind to operate in a variety of ways of thinking’ (IBO 2012 p.4). This is expressed further in the IB’s Mission Statement which states its desire to create a better world through education, which it claims can best, be achieved through international-mindedness. It adds to this by stating that ‘the International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect (ibid). As with the other programmes, the PYP and MYP, the DP ‘promotes the education...

...1. IMPACTS OF HIV/AIDS The impacts of HIV/AIDS on poor rural populations are many and intertwined. The impacts can be felt most dramatically in entrenched poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition, in the reduction of the labour force, and in the loss of essential knowledge that is transmitted from generation to generation. And the impacts are felt disproportionately among women. What's more, these same consequences of HIV/AIDS - poverty, food insecurity, malnutrition, reduced labour force and loss of knowledge - contribute to making the rural poor more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS infection. This devastating cycle must be broken, and the agricultural sector has a critical role to play. It is estimated that 42 million people in the world are infected with the HIV virus. Assuming that each HIV/AIDS case directly influences the lives of four other individuals, at least 168 million people are likely to be affected by the epidemic. And approximately 95 percent of them live in develping countries. Food security HIV/AIDS takes its toll on food security in a number of ways. For example: HIV increases fatigue and decreases work productivity, which means less food on the table. In households coping with sick family members, food consumption generally decreases. As adults fall ill, families face increasing medical and health care costs, thus reducing the possibility for them to purchase the food that they can no longer produce. While the number of productive family members decline...

Under this situation, this essay is going to analyses the key problems which responsible to the public-sector projects’ chequered history by providing some suggestion in reduce the risk of project failure. NATIONAL PROGRAMME FOR IT Based on the past track record, public-sector informational system project failures are so common that it almost expected by the planners. It is estimated that around 20–30 percent of projects are total failures and abandoned. Around 30–60 percent partially fails, with time and cost overruns or other problems. The minority of projects succeed. To give a general idea of this situation, we can compare it with NHS National Programme for Information Technology (NpfIT). It is the largest civil IT programme which aims at providing opportunities for the IT service industry to develop business models in the UK healthcare sector. It launched in 2002 by the government and the society generally gave high expectation for the programme. Basically, the programme original aim was to let every patient to have an electronic care record by 2010. However, in reality, the rate of electronic care records system setting is falling far below expectations and failed to achieve the original aim which the government has finally announced to be...

...Grading in education is the process of applying standardized measurements of varying levels of achievement in a course. Grades can be assigned as letters (generally A-F), as a range (for example 1 to 6), as a percentage of a total number of questions answered correctly, or as a number out of a possible total (for example out of 20 or 100). In some countries, all grades from all current classes are averaged to create a grade point average (GPA) for the marking period. The GPA is calculated by taking the number of grade points a student earned in a given period of time of middle school through high school.[1] The GPA can be used by potential employers or educational institutions to assess and compare applicants. A Cumulative Grade Point Average is a calculation of the average of all of a student's grades for all of his or her complete education career. In the IBDP (International Baccalaureate Diploma Program), which covers the final two years of high school, as well at the associated MYP (Middle Years Program) grades are given on a scale of 1-7, with 7 representing the highest level of achievement. Scores are always represented with whole numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7 are the only possible grades). Because these grades do not represent percentages, but instead correspond with specific rubric requirements, one could theoretically answer 90% of questions on a given exam correctly, but still get a 5 if the 10% they missed represented crucial problems that corresponded...

...The increasing number of people and the unbalanced distribution of food force food security into a worse situation. As stated by United Nations in the Millennium Development Goals of 2000-2005, reducing hunger and poverty by 50 percentage by 2015 is the main target we have to accomplish. Africa, with its fragile environment, huge pressure of overpopulation and less developed economics, is still suffering food shortage. For the purpose of combating hunger, global food security actors have made much effort. International organizations, such as Food and Agriculture Organization, World Food Program, and countries both play a vital role in helping Africa counter with starvation. Food aid is the crucial way they used to help food deficit countries. US, European Union and China are the main food aid donors. Among recipient countries, Ethiopia almost receives the most food aid (Mousseau, 2005:14). However, instead of making progress, data shows that the situation in Ethiopia is getting worse (Devereux, 2000:9). With the continual food aid, it seems that Ethiopia gradually falls into the vicious circle and depends on food aid rather than develop domestic agriculture to eliminate hunger. Hence, Ethiopia is an important case study for the food aid in Africa. The case of Ethiopia is of great importance for understanding the importance of food security in international politics and identifying problems of food aid. This is necessary for both individuals and independent state to achieve...
