...computer teacher at Garfield High School in downtown Los Angeles, California. To his surprise, the school lacked the computers he needed for the class, so he took an alternative position as a math teacher. In that first year of teaching, Mr. Escalante was confronted with many obstacles. The school was in the verge of loosing its operative certification; many students scored poorly in their academics, had problems with drugs or were involved in gang violence. As a new teacher, he constantly felt frustrated, with a sense of guilt for not inspiring his class to love math the way he did. Subsequently, and against all the odds, Mr. Escalante made a great contribution in the lives of students, and transformed the face of the College Board’s Advanced Placement Program® (AP®). Most...

Through the use of cookies during online navigation, users are “customizing” their use of the internet which allows them to have quicker and easier navigation (automatically fulfilled) This also allows providers to get a lot of information about customers Three main purposes of having records: * Customer Relationship Management * Targeted advertising * Geographic localization Question 3: What is the biggest concern most cell phone users have about using m-commerce services?

...Career Research Paper I have designed this assignment as a step by step guide to walk my students through the research process. Of course, you may adjust it as you feel is necessary according to the level of students you are working with. This project explains in detail everything they need to research, as well as, giving them real world insight into what to expect in a career in terms of education, job duties and responsibilities and income. I begin by having them take a reality check quiz on the Jump Start Coalition website. This little quiz helps them determine how much money they will need to earn in order to live the lifestyle they would like to have. This income amount in turn helps open their eyes to the type of job necessary to achieve that income and what amount of education is involved. It was a real wake up call for many of my students. In this package I have also included a grading rubric for the project and a list of possible career choices for their assignment. Student Instructions You will be writing a research paper on a career chosen from the attached list. Think carefully about which career you chose to research. Read through these directions and the requirements for this assignment BEFORE making your choice. Materials needed for this project - ---note cards (preferably 3x5 lined) ---folder with pockets to keep all research materials in ---access to internet and reference books A.

...9-797-137 REV. MAY 22, 2008 DAVID COLLIS GARY PISANO Intel Corporation: 1968-1997 By January 1997, Intel, a Silicon Valley start-up, had attained a stock market valuation of $113 billion that ranked it among the top five American companies. Much of Intel’s success had been due to microprocessors, a product it invented in 1971 and in which it continued to set the pace. Despite the company’s illustrious history and enviable success, its Chairman and CEO, Andy Grove, worried about the challenges ahead: Business success contains the seeds of its own destruction. The more successful you are, the more people want a chunk of your business and then another chunk and then another until there is nothing left. I believe that the prime responsibility of a manager is to guard constantly against other people’s attacks.1 This case begins by describing Intel’s origins as a semiconductor company before turning to its evolution into the leading manufacturer of microprocessors. Intel: The Early Years Intel was founded in 1968 by Robert Noyce (one of the co-inventors of the integrated circuit) and Gordon Moore, both of whom had been senior executives at Fairchild Semiconductors. They, in turn, recruited Andy Grove, who was then Assistant Director of Research at Fairchild. From the beginning, this trio was the driving force behind Intel. The company’s initial strategy was to develop semiconductor memory chips for mainframe computers and minicomputers. Andy Grove recalled that after receiving...

...9-713-406 REV: DECEMBER 2, 2013 JUAN ALCÁCER KERRY HERMAN Intel: Strategic Decisions in Locating a New Assembly and Test Plant (A) Government incentives can come and go. Decisions need to be long term. — Brian Krzanich, Intel general manager Assembly Test (2005) Brian Krzanich, Intel general manager of Assembly Test (AT), looked through his deck of slides one more time. It was March 2005, and in a few days, he would present the AT team’s proposal for the siting of its next AT factory to Intel’s board. The new facility would be Intel’s largest AT plant to date, doubling the size of any existing AT plant and providing the company with more efficient capacity. In 2005, industry average costs to build a new AT factory ran about $80 million with annual operating costs of between $150 and $300 million. He thought back to the fall of 2001, when Intel’s global site selection team had first started gathering data on possible sites for a new AT plant. There were a host of considerations implicated in this proposal, with operational and strategic dynamics as well as national and international relationships at stake. In their preliminary study of possible sites, Krzanich and his team had focused primarily on Asian and South East Asian locations, given that between 2002 and 2005, the total cost of operations in these countries were still the lowest in the world, and these markets represented important and growing opportunities for Intel. While U.S. regulations had prohibited...
