...joining us. In March, 2010, I initiated the concept of “Englishnization” in Rakuten which required exclusive use of English as an in-house language in the next two years. I intend to make Rakuten not only the number 1 company in japan but the number 1 Internet service company in the world. Japan’s GDP in 2050 would shrink from 12% in 2006 to 3%, keeping this in mind we needed to expand globally and the only way to sustain that level of growth was through Englishnization. I also feel that fast and direct communication is the only way to integrate across various businesses in different nations and to insert Rakuten into non-Japanese market. Change was necessary for the global growth that we were aiming at. The initial goal to achieve TOEIC score, over 650 by April 2012 was set. Lots of foreign media such as CNN, Financial Times, covered our challenge and Harvard Business School made a case study about Rakuten’s Englishnization. However, this is not a temporary campaign or a astunt for publicity, but a must-do thing in order for Rakuten to become a globally successful company. This is good thing for Rakuten employees because English will open up their vision to what’s happening all over the world. I strongly believe that Rakuten’s success in Englishnization will change the conservative custom and system in Japan. I had instructed three primary phases consisting of assessment and measurement, first where the staff was required to do a two hour reading, listening and comprehension...

Strengths and weaknesses Opportunities and threats Choice of segment target and course ideas References Introduction In phase 2 we were making a Apollo project with new members of group 8 ,called Blink Blink with 5 members in it. In this project we are required to make a research about English courses of Apollo language center. More clearly, we had to assess the Apollo history and its strongest competitors, determine its market segmentation and weigh pros and cons of its courses. In addition to that, our group had to propose an idea for a new course by relying on the questionnaire data we made in the previous phase. Therefore, by choosing a segment of target, we made up a course, which is the main aim of Apollo project. Before offering an idea for a new course, the first thing that has to be done is reviewing the Apollo history, its service, rewards, strengths and weakness. We searched the information in the in the web service and came straight to the center in order to get information. Besides we searched the data about...

...Leah Dolce ECO 103 Mortgage Project While doing this project, I kept finding myself to be very indecisive as to what I wanted in a home and what things would be important to me if I were to purchase one. This project helped me understand the basics of buying a home such as: where I would want my kids to go to school, how many bedrooms, how many bathrooms, property, neighborhood reputation, and much more. I had very little knowledge about most of the surrounding area so now I know what kind of research I would have to do to make sure I know exatcly what I want when purchasing a home. I did know I wanted it to be at least 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and have an updated kitchen. I was able to find those things in the home I selected but what I didn't realize was what the cost would be. There is a huge financial difference between a 15 year fix and a 30 year fix mortgage. For the home I selected it was a $522.76 difference in the monthly payment and a $91,271.79 difference in the amount of interest I would be paying for the life of the loan. If I was abel to afford such a hefty, monthly payment I would choose the 15 year mortgage because in the long run it would be cheaper. The lesson learned here, though, is find a more affordable house and make updates as you go along. All -in-all I had fun doing this project and it helped me understand the process into buying a home and gave me great internet resources to do...

...SYNOPSIS TITLE OF THE PROJECT HOSTEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROBLEM STATEMENT This project needs to create the Hostel Management System (HMS) to organize the rooms, mess, student’s record and the other information about the students. All hostels without HMS are managed manually by the hostel office. And hence there is a lot of strain on the person who are running the hostel. This particular project deals with the problems on managing a hostel and avoids the problem which occur when carried manually. INTRODUCTION In hostels without a HMS all the things have to be done manually. The Registration form verification to the different data processing are done manually. Thus there are a lot of repetitions which can be easily avoided. Identification of the drawbacks of the existing system leads to the designing of computerized system that will be compatible to the existing system with the system which is more user friendly and more GUI oriented. We can improve the efficiency of the system, thus overcome the drawbacks of the existing system. Hostel management gives on idea about how the students details, room allocation, mess expenditure are maintained in the particular concern. The hostel management system also includes some special features like How many students can live in a room, and the students of the hostel can be recognized from their ID number. The administration has the unique identity for each members as well as students details. The stock management...

...nonstop work. Startups are a counterexample to the rule that haste makes waste. (Too much money seems to be as bad for startups as too much time, so we don't give them much money either.) A week before Demo Day, we have a dress rehearsal called Rehearsal Day. At other Y Combinator events we allow outside guests, but not at Rehearsal Day. No one except the other founders gets to see the rehearsals. The presentations on Rehearsal Day are often pretty rough. But this is to be expected. We try to pick founders who are good at building things, not ones who are slick presenters. Some of the founders are just out of college, or even still in it, and have never spoken to a group of people they didn't already know. So we concentrate on the basics. On Demo Day each startup will only get ten minutes, so we encourage them to focus on just two goals: (a) explain what you're doing, and (b) explain why users will want it. That might sound easy, but it's not when the speakers have no experience presenting, and they're explaining technical matters to an audience that's mostly...

This will bring up your new Project 1 application with Form1 visible. Already Visual Basic has done a lot for us. As you can see this tutorial isn't very long but already you have a full working application. You can see your new program in action by going up to the menu bar and selecting Run -> Start (Or simply press the F5 key). You should see the Form1 window appear: This is a fully functional application. You can move it around, minimize and maximize it, and close it down. For you to do this same thing in C++ - the original language most of Windows was written in you would have written hundreds of lines of code. You area already getting to see some of the extreme power VB gives you. Now lets continue with the tutorial. Lets make this program say hello! On the left side of the screen you can see the toolbox (if this doesn't show up go to the top menu bar and select View -> Toolbox). In this toolbox you will see a picture of a button. Double click the button icon and it will create a Command1 CommandButton in the center of your form.
