Its economic structure reflected an increasing share of industry and services while the share of agriculture declined. Vietnam has been successful in poverty reduction strategies and has been able to ensure rapid growth with relative equity. Among the factors that led to this success, foreign direct investment (FDI) has played a crucial role, providing Vietnam’s economy with its relatively scarce factor, capital, and representing an extremely important instrument for integration in the world economy, especially at the regional level. However, FDI infusion in different localities is not identical. Therefore, this paper attempts to identify the main factors that help with the attraction of foreign direct investment capital in a locality of Vietnam. The survey results that there are some factors that have been evaluated as much more important; while, others are considered to be relatively less important in the current context of Vietnam. ...

...1. Leadership- plays a vital role in the education community because the structure of schools works from the top down. a. Administrators take care of the technical aspects of keeping a school functioning, and supervise teachers to insure standards are being met. b. Teachers are responsible for implementing classroom instruction to help students gather the information they need to be successful in life. In most cases this instruction is focused on specific topics in which the teacher is the expert. c. “Invitational Leadership” by John Novak 1. “School leaders are like long distance runners. Neither wants to run out of steam, head in the wrong direction or face obstacles they cannot handle.” (44) 2. Invitational leadership seeks to invite all people to bring forth their own strengths and abilities to reach their highest potential. 3. Invitational leadership relies on: (45 &46) * Foundations- made up of democratic ethos, self-concept theory, perceptual tradition, and the goal of educational living. * Assumptions- must include respect, trust, care, optimism, and intentionality. 4. The 6 C’s- Leaders are to keep these in mind when trying to facilitate invitational leadership and seek change. (54) 1.

...Walgreens Overview Walgreens Co., America’s premier pharmacy is what Charles R. Walgreen called his neighborhood drugstore that has grown into a nationally recognized fortune 500 company. Charles R Walgreen was born in Galesburg, a small town in Illinois, but shortly relocated to a town sixty miles away named, Dixon, Illinois. Dixon is where the dream of Walgreens Co. began. At the age of sixteen years old, working in a factory, Charles cut off the top of his middle finger and ended his athletic career. This led him to take a job at Horton’s Drug Store in Dixon, Illinois. Charles absolutely despised this job but needed to do something to get him through school. Once school was out, in 1893 Walgreen relocated to Chicago, Illinois where he discovered that the drugstore industry wasn’t so bad after all. Walgreen gained knowledge from some of the best pharmacist known to man, Samuel Resenfield, Max Grieben, William G Valentine, and Isaac W Blood. While working with pharmacist he discovered that maybe working for Horton’s Drug Store all of those years ago was going to pay off. Charles realized that in the Chicago area the pharmacy/drugstore was very prominent and that he needed to do something to stand out. When it came to a drugstore/pharmacy consumers had many choices in the Chicago area. In 1901, he had saved up enough money to put a down payment of his own pharmacy. “Walgreen’s drugstore was located in Barrett’s Hotel at Cottage Grove ad Bowen Avenue on Chicago’s...

...your consumers, you can expect to have a decrease in your sales and market share in other countries. The industry offers a lot of new and existing potential competitors especially in the fashion industry; you’re not just competing within the U.S. brands but also with European brands that are getting popular in all over the world. They are also products that can substitute with branded apparel, some teenagers who are experiencing financial problems can just buy an imitation one just for a cheap price and even the quality’s great, no one will notice that it was a fake one. Young generations nowadays are conscious of what they have and what things they don’t have, especially with apparel, because the trend nowadays is when you are wearing that kind of shirt and it is a high class brand, you’re in with the trend and you are considered one of the coolest kids in your school. While the organization culture of A&F is very different from other brands because they are the only company who hires people based on their looks and how they act and not with the skills. They are always saying that they don’t treat them as salespeople; they are the image that represents the brand. Their marketing strategy is very objective; they have these clear goals that they want to achieve. And their market sales are also getting higher thanks to those advertisements that they have. I can recommend that they need to have a clearer image for the brand; they need to be a good leader for the youth and an effective...

...must have skillful, highly effective teachers who have consistent access to ongoing professional development (Sparks & Hirsch, 2000; Guskey, 1997; Guskey, 1998; Maldonado, 2002). NCLB offers broad guidelines for effective professional development acknowledging the integral nature of ongoing professional development that seeks to insure teachers continually possess the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully perform their duties (Lauer & Dean 2004). NCLB requires all 50 states to provide “high-quality” professional development that will ensure every teacher is both highly qualified and highly effective. The federal government’s definition of high-quality professional development includes activities that improve and increase teachers’ academic knowledge, are part of school and district improvement plans, provide teachers the knowledge to meet state content standards, are sustained, intensive and classroom focused, support the recruiting, hiring and training of high quality teachers, expand teachers’ understandings of effective instructional practices, are built upon scientifically based research practices, and support increased student achievement. They are not 1-day or short-term workshops or conferences” (NCLB, 2001). States interpret these guidelines and add their own varied legislative requirements,...

...Health Organization (1999) as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. An additional description says that “health is defined by what does not constitute health, namely disease” (Risse, 1999). Disease, on the other hand, has been defined as a “biological abnormality” or distress and disability that are based on abnormal processes and structural alterations of the human organism. These definitions represent what medical anthropologists call as ethic definitions or “behavioral phenomena considered in isolation from a particular system or in relation to predetermined general concepts” (Mish, 1990). Predetermined general concepts may be most applicable to people who are not in the medical field and may have different perceptions about health and how to sustain healthiness and well-being. Less exposure in the “real medical field” and lack of proper health education may result for them to have different ways on how to cope up with health or on the other side is to have no way to handle it due to lack of knowledge, skills, capabilities, and attitude towards the health problem. Others consider on the “healing powers” of some herbal medicines, chemically-prepared medicines, superstitious beliefs, and some with what-they-call “quack doctors”. Studies of health practices among Filipino-Americans suggest that people originally from rural areas in the Philippines are more knowledgeable regarding home remedies, traditional...

March 17, 1995 Medical Products Company At the beginning of their three-day meeting in March 1990, Mr. Roberto Hausman, the president of the Disposable Devices Sector of the Medical Products Company (MPC), welcomed the group assembled around the conference table. This promises to be a very productive meeting. A window of opportunity has opened up for us, and it appears that we finally have a chance to resolve, once and for all, some of the issues our European organization has been struggling with over at least the last six years. The recent acceleration in the projected growth rate for our hypodermic and diabetic products makes it possible to discuss possible changes without having to worry about consolidating plants or making substantial reductions in personnel at any plant. We now operate within an organizational structure that allows us to deal with the problem as a whole, and all the key people who will be involved in implementing the changes that may be required are in this room, participating in the design of those changes. You collectively control all the resources necessary to make it happen. Now I charge you with that responsibility. The task force assembled to plan the reorganization of European manufacturing for hypodermic products included the president for Disposable Devices in Europe, the managers of all the European factories producing hypodermic products, and several senior managers (including those...

Starting from single scenarios for fertility, mortality and economic activity, three sets of assumptions are explored regarding migration flows, taking into account probable policy developments in Europe following the enlargement of the EU. In addition to age structures, various support ratio indicators are analysed. The results indicate that plausible immigration cannot offset the negative effects of population and labour force ageing.
