...Lee 04/04/14 If I were going to write a formal report to my management I would have to look at what type of people I am dealing with before writing the report. Therefore, I know what they are looking for in the reports when they read it. If I don’t know my audience, How can I please them so to speak. I cannot please someone I do not know or at least I don’t think so. Knowing what your audience likes, is looking for, and or don’t care for, will take you a long way in any part of life, I think. Leading is knowing and knowing is success I have always heard from family members on my fathers side. I like to try to add some charisma But if the managers are not so open minded or as charming as me then no, I won’t add any spunk to my reports. I have a good trait from my fathers side as well and that’s outgoing. Some people do not like how outgoing I can be so for those type people I calm it down until I know they are comfortable with me. I like to make the higher level positions think they have referent power over me but really I could go over them and show them the leader in me. I like the lower position for now. That is a risk I will take later in my career, just in case it backfire’s on me because of their connections...

...你就该回答: “Driving is my hobby. I really love the feeling of running on the road and I take cars as my best friends.” 总之是要找到自己跟这个公司的一个切合点，让面试官了解你充分适合这个环境。 自己优缺点： 2. What are your three greatest strengths? 铁芸说回答这个问题的时候不可以含混不清，不可以只是简单回答 “I’m really organized, punctual and get along well with others.” 简洁、精炼，找到这个公司所看重的特长，是回答这个问题的关键。比如要应聘金融行业，可是说 “I think my three strongest strengths are details-oriental, patient and cautious.” 但是如果应聘者是一个销售精英，可以说:“I think my strongest strengths are aggressive, hard working and communicative.”总之，需要考虑到应聘公司及职务的需要来选择表现自己的优势 3. What are your three greatest weaknesses? 铁芸强调，能够为公司增值永远是老板的最爱，老板都愿意找到一个了解、热爱工作，并能够为公司创造价值的员工。所以不要很诚实的把自己的毛病暴露出来，而是要策略的选择一些能够为自己加分的缺点。比如:“I am a perfectionist and I pay very much attention to details. Sometimes I am quite captious.” 4. Why are you interested in working for our company? 这个问题主要考察应聘者是否对这个工作进行了了解，或者是否真正有兴趣，所以需要围绕整个公司的具体情况，让面试官知道你很清楚这个公司的运营模式，以及对这项工作非常积极。因此不要以“It seemed like a good career move, ”或是 "I haven't been able to find anything else interesting.”为开始。如果能有一些实际问题回答的话，就会更大的加分，铁芸建议应聘者可以这样: “I read an article in the newspaper and was very impressed by …”但是前提是你必须真的对这家公司作了研究，同时也要注意，不要让面试官觉得你是为了讨好面试官而言过其实，这样只会适得其反。 5. Why did you leave your last job? 跳槽的原因可能是上一份工作非常糟糕，但是面试并不是适合抱怨的场合。而且千万不要对现有或是过去的雇主或同事进行这样的评论：“I didn't agree with the company's direction.”“I got no recognition for my work.”“My boss was totally unreasonable. ”铁芸建议要从自身发展的角度出发来回答:“I love my last job and really...

...After reading ‘ Recruitment of a Star ’ it has become convincingly evident that only one candidate stood out amount the rest with regard to RHS corporate values, anlytical requirements and contribution potential. Although all candidates show strong qualifications, the candidate I am reffering to is Sonia Meetha First of all Mrs. Meetha’s credentials are extremely impressive.After seeking feedback from people whom Mrs. Meetha has work with, it was reported that her work is thorough, solid and insightful and that companies have come to rely on her work. She was recongized as an ‘up and comer’ as per II standards, whic is exactly where ı thınk she should be so that the fırm can benefit the most.She is at a perfect point in her career so that RHS can mold/mentor her into its culture without inheriting negative practices picked up at other big firms all with the goals of helping her relaize her full potential, which would be of an extreme benefit for the company. Also, while at WHS, she has managed to cover the franchise by herself without the assistance of a junior analyst, which tell me that her work ethic is impeccable. Her performance ratings have grown over the last three years, she’s built good networks, which include CEO’s of major companies as well as divisional managers and staff. In addition, Mrs. Meetha has shown a keen interest in organizational structure, which is something that is highly valued at RHS. As evidenced in structure, which is something that is highly...

...1. Culture is an essential element of organizing in the P-O-L-C framework. Do you think Google has a strong culture? What would it take to make changes in that culture, for better or for worse? Undoubtedly Google has one of strongest cultures in today’s corporate World. The strong work culture has paid off for Google as it is ranked consistently as the best place to work. If Google were to remain in the best position in the future, It has to change continuously and evolve accordingly to face the competitors. Google’s cultural innovations might be imitated in other companies as well. It is easy to have a good corporate life style when the company the company is doing very well on the economic front. When company’s resources become more constrained with the maturing of its industry and its business model, these kind of investments will be harder to make. When Google slows down financially it will be difficult to retain great employees. 2. Do you think Google’s unique culture will help or hurt Google in the long run? Google’s unique culture might not help Google as it is helping today. I think so because the corporate life style, more benefits to employees are very much imitable by other companies. Any company that is doing very good financially can adopt these measures. There comes a point in future where the core competencies...

...countries Until the planet becomes cash-less or De La Rue consistently fails to live up to it’s long-established reputation there is no reason to think its competitive advantages are not sustainable. If we think about this business from the point of view of a country looking to outsource such a vital component to their infrastructure as currency, then cost-effectiveness along with a long standing reputation for success become very key. The barriers to enter into this business based on the sensitive nature of the service are extremely high and simply too risky to place in the hands of an un-established leader in the industry. The botched order in 2010 and subsequent new business despite the gaffe lend credence to the fact that De La Rue’s position in the industry is solid. If the company had not made the appropriate changes to insure these problems would not come up in the future - or the subsequent orders also proved problematic, then perhaps they may have been in for some trouble. That, however, did not...

The discussion extends to the application of portfolio planning techniques to a specific investment proposal: the comprehensive modernization of a plant dedicated to the production of high-quality specialty pigmeEXAMPLE: The development of SMEs in the Eastern European countries during the first years of the transition period was difficult and they had to take of work as long as it brought money into a company. The subsequent rapid growth also offered multiple opportunities and the companies made full use of them. Thus, over 70% of Bulgarian companies, for example, had a portfolio that wasn´t related to a defined business strategy and vision for long term development, and its structure reflected the market situation. However, to stay competitive, small companies in all EU countries have had to re-think and optimize their activities; they have to search for new opportunities for their development. That is why they are being forced to create or update their strategy for the future development of the business, based on the prevailing conditions. The assessment of the products and services, offered by the company...

...The shared economy is in the process of evolving into a significant element of the economic cycle. The idea of sharing things and using them together has worked perfectly well for hundreds of years. All of sudden, however, it has begun to spawn disruptive business models with spiralling customer numbers and revenues to match. Carpooling is becoming a common way to travel and consumers are opening their homes to others e.g. Airbnb. This particular "new economy" is not going to go away again. On the contrary, it will achieve a much more dominant position in the years ahead. Why? Because it accommodates the fundamental human need to be part of a community, share with others, build relationships, make friends and, specifically, to entrust things to other people. Swapping and sharing was common practice long before we had paper money and modern-style companies. The shared use of resources was based on personal ties and/or geographic proximity However, new communication technologies are radically changing the playing field in a positive sense. The internet, smartphones and mobile positioning services are shrinking the entire planet to the size of a neighbourhood. Ubiquitous social media has breathed new life into a notion of community that had long seemed confined to private spaces and a distinctly modest scale. Now, online platforms and marketplaces are spawning new relationships that, in the past, would never have been conceivable without face to face contact. The shared economy...

...Robert Nozick. Each theory has its ups and downs and can both be argued as just, or unjust. John Rawls’ theory starts with the “original position,” in which people make decisions or legislate laws behind what is called a “Veil of Ignorance.” Behind this “veil,” Rawls deprives us of any knowledge of our own attributes under which we know everything we need to about human nature generally, but nothing about ourselves – this includes gender, position, assets, professions, etc. The “veil” allows us to be objective and impartial and choose principles of basic fairness. We choose to lessen the downside of the society as a whole. Rawls uses a thinking experiment in which one puts themselves in a hypothetical reality where one is in the “original position.” Through this, individuals can decide how to set up a society by establishing principles of justice to be governed by. His thought experiment can be translated in a way where if we didn’t know what our positions in society would be, we would be more concerned for everyone equally. Basically, if it is possible for us to be in the least-advantaged status of a society, we will be a lot more concerned for the overall general welfare. If everyone starts off in the same position, it makes agreement between everyone much easier. The “veil” is a way of eliminating bias that makes the “original position” a just way of choosing basic principles. When we put ourselves behind this “veil,” Rawls believes the outcome would be that every individual...

For me, I am content on a baseball diamond, whether I am just watching baseball or playing/practicing baseball. I have been playing baseball since I was 11 years old. I have been watching baseball since I was 7 years old. The game of baseball has taught me some very valuable skills that I use everyday. These skills include collaborating, persistence, how to deal with pressure, patience, and how to be flexible. For an example, I use the skill of collaboration everyday.
