...With saturation in their traditional markets, emerging markets offer some real opportunities for franchise systems today. Saying that, is penetration of the emerging markets easy? Are companies guaranteed success if they open locations there? Hardly. Not every company will do well in the emerging markets, any more than every company will do well in the “traditional” markets. First of all, there is no such thing as a single profile for any of the emerging markets. They are not fungible, and companies need to understand that ethnic backgrounds, consumer preferences, economic conditions, local competitors, real estate, and community support among a host of other variables must be evaluated. But a strong opportunity exists. There is a rapidly expanding minority middle class with a dramatic increase in the number of African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and new immigrants entering the workforce and achieving management positions and wealth. Working with clients and government in establishing emerging market opportunities, my firm uses a tool called a “leakage analysis” to measure local demand for products and services. Our studies often find that for certain products and services, some emerging markets often have higher sales potential than suburban markets. If the demand is there, why are these markets still relatively underdeveloped for branded retailers and service providers? The answer is really quite simple: Other opportunities seemed better. Expansion was booming and except...

...R. Ravi THE SPATE of nidhi companies failing to repay their depositors on time compounded the woes of the investor community. These depositors, unlike those in unincorporated bodies and collective investment companies, cannot be accused of ignorance or greed in choosing the avenue to invest in as the nidhi companies are recognised under Section 620A of the Companies Act, regulated under its provisions and further registered with the Reserve Bank of India as per the provisions of Section 45IA of the RBI Act 1997 . It is surprising that the nidhi companies, despite being allowed to borrow from and lend only to members against security such as jewels or immovable property, face a liquidity crunch. Some acts of commission and omission by the companies which have become sick are: AAcceptance of deposits without any limit or determination of the deployment of the funds (deposits were accepted even for 280 months in some cases); AInvestment in immovable property to house branch offices that were started arbitrarily; AChange in management; AAdvertisements inviting deposits that violated the provisions contained in the July 6, 1996 government notification. The Government, vide November 1, 1999 notification, directed that nidhi companies, recognised as such under Section 620 A of the Companies Act, shall not carry on any business other than borrowing and lending in its own name. It also listed the other thi ngs nidhi companies are prohibited from doing: Open new branches; open current accounts...

...DOUBLE LOOP LEARNING – AN EXPERIENCE This example is a bit too technical, but as I believe that this is a good example from my experience about double loop learning (we used to call this as “Thinking outside the Box”), thought of putting it the least technical form as possible. I was working as a software architect in a particular client’s team. That software system was pretty old and matured (the system was in existence for the past 20 years) and hence we used to treat the existing guidelines in use as the best available. As the system consisted of several hundred independent software programs (also known as modules), each of those has to pass a huge amount of data (names, addresses, other program related data etc.) between them during the operation. As a standard and also to ensure conformity, they used to employ a pre-defined structure to pass data (which will have a fixed size limit with each field having specific starting and ending locations. for e.g.: For address, the first name will be there in the first 30 characters of that structure and middle name will be coming in the next 30 and then comes the last name, followed by address line 1 and 2, each of which is 35 characters in length etc.). The flip side of this is that, even though you are introducing a new field in this predefined structure only for a couple of modules in this 700+ modules system, you will have to modify all the 700+ components to be able to maintain the same structure across, as else, the data positions...

...Acceptance of Body Modifications Acceptance of Body Modifications The acceptance of body modifications is a very big problem today. People that modify their body aren't being completely accepted in society. There are some cases where it is accepted but it is mostly frowned upon. Understanding is the first step to acceptance so it is my goal to help everyone understand. Body modifications are a big part in my life even if it doesn't seem like it. I stretch my ears and to me that is a big deal and it is something that I really enjoy. There are so many different reasons that people modify their body. Some people do it in order to fit in and others do it to be different. One big problem I have noticed about having body modifications is trying to get a job is a lot more difficult. This shouldn't be a problem though because we are all humans and no matter what any ones choice we should accept each other for what we do and who we are. The fact is that it shouldn't be more difficult to get a job when a person is modified compared to someone who isn't because body modifications don't change someones personality. In addition, everyone deserves a chance. Why would you not give someone a chance just because they look different? Furthermore, if someone is modified it is better to let them change to what they want their image to be so that they can feel comfortable in their own skin. First off, changing the way someones body looks in any way doesn't mean...

To install this mod, copy the files TrafficLoad.asi and TrafficLoad.ini in your GTA IV folder. Remove all older or other versions!

It is also possible to modify the amount of cars loaded before models that aren't used anymore are wiped from memory. Extra cars When you have no added cars installed, no modification is needed. If you do have added cars, look in the .ini for clarification. Up to 15 cars can be added. Trouble? If the mod does not load, check ScriptHook.log for possible messages, or the lack thereof. If nothing is loaded, be sure to right click the file and check for any security measurements Windows Vista and Windows 7 apply. Remove those, they prevent the file from getting loaded.

...An Appropriate Choice Skulbrick Colorado Mesa University An Appropriate Choice For me, an appropriate career choice is that of a substance abuse counselor (SAC). Teaching people with substance abuse and dependence issues to help themselves would give me significant job satisfaction. I have always been interested in the behavior of intoxicated people, the biological mechanisms that result in lowered inhibitions, diminished reasoning, and a tendency toward violence. I seek to understand the biopsychosocial variables that combine to facilitate the consumption of mood altering substances (Wallace, 2012). Additionally, I would like to develop insight into the process of addiction and the evidence based methods of treatment. My observations of impaired individuals tend to convince me of biopsychosocial reasons for substance abuse and associated behaviors. Therefore, my dream is to gain the knowledge to address the underlying motivation for substance abuse and addiction. (Walters & Rotgers, 2012). Employment Outlook As Miller, Scarborough, Clark, Leonard, and Keziah (2010) reported, the credentialing requirements for SACs vary significantly between the states. They...

...The role of a systems analyst is vital to the success of any organization. In this role, the systems analyst is responsible for being the “liaison” between the technology department and all other departments within the company (Laudon & Laudon, 2011, p. 68). There are several key skills and characteristics necessary to be an effective systems analyst. The person performing this role needs to have excellent communication skills, planning and organizational skills, and managerial skills. While the systems analyst must constantly continue his education as it pertains to new software and hardware systems, there are other roles an analyst is expected to fill. The analyst needs to establish a working relationship with other departments. This allows the analyst to obtain data to assist with the department’s information technology needs. A characteristic that would be demonstrated in this area is that of teamwork. The analyst has to put the needs of the company first and be able to interact with all types of people (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, n.d., p. 5). The position relies on the ability to solve problems within the business. Therefore, the analyst needs to have a clear understanding of how the business operates. By meeting with the various departments, the analyst is able to understand what problem exists and what options are available to resolve the problem (Laudon & Laudon, 2011, p.381). The analyst needs to decide which option will work best for the department...
