...their school preferences. At the heart of this reform are 123 small, academically nonselective, public high schools. Each with approximately 100 students per grade in grades 9 through 12, these schools were created to serve some of the district’s most disadvantaged students and are located mainly in neighborhoods where large failing high schools had been closed.2 Hence, they provide a realistic choice for students with widely varying academic backgrounds. MDRC researchers call them “small schools of choice” (SSCs) because of their small size and the fact that they do not screen students based on their academic backgrounds.3 In June 2010, MDRC, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization, released a report on the effectiveness of 105 of the 123 new SSCs, which demonstrated demonstrated that they are markedly improving academic progress and substantially improving graduation prospects, particularly for disadvantaged students. This report included data for over 21,000 students from four cohorts who entered ninth grade between fall 2005 and fall...

...exclusive use of h. abdelrahman, 2015. 9-107-038 REV: JANUARY 29, 2008 ROBERT S. KAPLAN RICARDO REISEN DE PINHO Amanco: Developing the Sustainability Scorecard A modern company must have a much broader and more sophisticated relationship with society, and must respond to issues that didn’t exist previously… Our strategy is the best for the sustainable creation of value. — Stephan Schmidheiny, Grupo Nueva and Amanco’s founder1 On January 9, 2006, CEO Roberto Salas arrived at the new Amanco headquarters in São Paulo after a long and strenuous tour through the company’s key units in Latin America. Salas had conducted intense and productive discussions about how to strengthen and standardize Amanco’s Sustainability Scorecard system (SSC), for use in executing Amanco’s new strategy. Amanco was Latin America’s biggest producer and marketer of plastic pipes and fittings for transporting fluid. It had dominant positions in Colombia and Ecuador, and was a major competitor in Brazil and Mexico. Amanco had become a top brand while establishing a reputation as a leading company in corporate social responsibility. Julio Moura, Amanco’s chairman, explained, “Customers want products that improve the society in which they exist and that protect the environment.”2 Salas reflected on the company’s recent financial performance (summarized in Exhibit 1): Amanco has lived by its triple bottom line values and become one of the Latin American’s most admired socially responsible companies...

...A Review of Business–University Collaboration Professor Sir Tim Wilson DL February 2012 Preface Just as castles provided the source of strength for medieval towns, and factories provided prosperity in the industrial age, universities are the source of strength in the knowledge‐based economy of the twenty‐first century. Lord Dearing, September 2002 The words of Lord Dearing continue to ring true. The economic and social prosperity of the UK depends upon a healthy knowledge‐based economy. In our globally competitive economic environment, never before has there been a greater need for a talented, enterprising workforce, for constant innovation in product and service development, for a thriving culture of entrepreneurship, for dynamic leading‐edge scientific and technological development and for world‐class research that attracts investment. In collaboration with business, and with the support of government, the UK university sector has the capability to fulfil Lord Dearing’s vision: to be the source of strength in the UK’s knowledge based economy of the twenty first century. Universities are an integral part of the skills and innovation supply chain to business. However, this supply chain is not a simple linear supplier‐purchaser transaction; it is not the acquisition of a single product or service. This supply chain is multi‐dimensional, it has to be sustainable, and it has to have quality, strength and resilience. These attributes can only be secured through close collaboration...

...WHAT SHOULD INDIAN NAVY DO TO INVITE BETTER TALENTED YOUTH? I had rather have a plain, russet-coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that which you call a Gentle-man and is nothing else. Oliver Cromwell INTRODUCTION 1. In order for the Indian Navy to meet its ever growing list of commitments, it is imperative that it be staffed by intelligent, disciplined and courageous men and women. The Indian Navy’s charter of duties has increased many fold and grown beyond its traditional role in the last decade. Post 26/11 the importance of Coastal Security has been highlighted. Anti-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden and the ever-increasing threat of piracy along India’s own coast have further tasked the Indian Navy. The Indian Navy now interacts and operates with almost all major navies of the world, and is an ambassador of the nation. The Naval personnel have to be smart, eloquent and quick thinking to project the right image of the nation. Technology has always been led by the demands of the armed forces, and the Indian Navy is in the forefront in this aspect. All recent inductions are in the cutting edge of technology. To maximise the effect of technology, and to use them sensibly and responsibly, the Indian Navy needs youth with the correct education, intelligence and mental make up. 2. The Times of India, dated 07 Mar 2011 reported that the armed forces are facing a shortage of 15,004 officers. In written reply to a question...

...Chapter 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES Presented in this chapter is foreign and local literature and studies which are relevant to the present undertaking. Literature and studies cited enables the researcher to have a better understanding and a wider perspective of this investigation. Adversity Quotient (AQ) and its nature Resilience refers to the ability to cope or to give a successful response to high risk or adversity as measured by the four CO2RE scales of the adversity quotient. It is an outcome of both individual characteristics and environmental causes. Resilience is viewed by the individual from the inside as he or she responds to the outside or external influences and events, viz. Adversity. Richard Davidson, director of the Laboratory for Effective Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin, conducted a landmark series of brain imaging studies that tested two groups of people: one identified as highly resilient to life’s ups and downs, the other easily upset by them. Davidson tracked their brain function as they performed stressful tasks, such as writing about the most upsetting experience in their lives or performing difficult math problems under time pressure (Goleman, 1997). Resilient people have a remarkably rapid recovery from stress. A study of store managers at a large American retail chain store found that the managers who were most tense, beleaguered, or overwhelmed by job pressures ran stores with the worst performance...
