Its long coastline offers sweeping vistas of aquamarine waters fringed by white powdery sands. Away from the shores lie a cluster of islands that gleam invitingly in the South China Sea. Kuala Terengganu is the charming capital of this state. Meandering rivers lit by the glow of fireflies, cascading waterfalls and sprawling lakes from some of the state’s most impressive natural sceneries. Home to charming coastal villages and a wealth of traditional crafts, Terengganu beckons with a grace and beauty that is distinctly Malay. 2.

...Chinese employees in Fortune 500 companies, citing one instance in which a Chinese employee responded to an American manager with an estimated number rather than an accurate one. Because of differing values and attitudes among cultures described by Gaspar, the American manager interpreted the Chinese employee’s response as being deceptive. However, the Chinese employee was avoiding shame, which in Chinese culture results from not knowing the answer to a question. Upon understanding this, the trust grew between the American manager and his Chinese employees likely as the result of the manager changing the way he sought information from his employees. Also, in China it is expected that companies pay newspaper reporters for writing a favorable stories, which is perceived as corruption by Americans. This difference in manners and customs must be understood by foreign managers of Chinese operations. Expatriate managers need acculturation training and support prior to embarking on foreign business ventures. Pires, Stanton & Ostenfeld (2006) discuss the need for improved training of potential expatriates used to start up operations internationally....

...1-1 Do you like to spend time by yourself? When I was in middle school and high school, I got the impression that being alone meant you were a social outcast. At lunch, for example, only the "losers" or "nerds" ate alone; if you were surrounded by friends, you were popular. As a result, I was always anxious about being alone. Like a lot of young people, I worried about having enough friends and going out on the weekends instead of staying home like a "loner." I have to admit, though, that I spent more weekends at home than I did out on the town with my friends. As I've grown older, though, I think I've come to appreciate more and more having some time to be alone. Maybe it's the constant noise and demands of three children that helps me appreciate some quiet time to myself. In fact, some of my favorite time during the day is the time I spend driving to and from work (I live about twenty minutes from where I work). I often listen to the radio, so I don't know if I'm technically alone, but it's time where I can think and reflect on things that have happened during the day. It's often during this time that I have some of my best ideas, too. If we ought to be familiar with anyone, it should be ourselves. And spending time alone can help us come to know ourselves better. In this lesson, you will read some pieces that show the authors learning about themselves. You will see through the readings how the experiences we go through often teach us things about ourselves that we didn't...

...JetBlue: Delighting Customers through Happy Jetting In 2007, JetBlue was a thriving young airline with a strong reputation for outstanding service. In fact, the low-fare airline referred to itself as a customer service company that just happened to fly planes. But in Valentine's Day 2007, JetBlue was hit by the perfect storm-literally-of events that led to an operational meltdown. One of the most severe storms of the decade covered JetBlue's main hub at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport with a thick layer of snow and ice. Small JetBlue did not have the infrastructure to deal with such a crisis. The severity of the storm, coupled with a series of poor management decisions, left JetBlue passengers stranded in planes on the runway for up to 11 hours. Worse still, the ripple effect of the storm created major JetBlue flight disruptions for six more days. Understandably, customers were livid. JetBlue's efforts to clean up the mess following the six-day Valentine’s Day nightmare cost over $30 million dollars in overtime, flight refunds, vouchers for future travel, and the other expenses. But the blow to the company's previously stellar customer-service reputation stung far more than the financial fallout. JetBlue became the butt of jokes by late night talk show hosts. Some industry observers even predicted that this would be the end of the seven-year-old airline. But just three years later, the company is not only still flying; it is growing, profitable, and hotter...

...The ‘Yu Dynasty’ within me Kate Yu ____________________________________________________________ “Where do you live?” People I randomly meet these days always ask me this. I half-jokingly answer: “Cathay Pacific—I’ve a permanent seat up there.” Since last year, my life has become a whirlwind of trips all over the world, sometimes up to three different countries in one week. And while the lifestyle on the surface is glamorous and exciting, like any gold-plated faux jewelery, scratch a bit and you’ll reach its tarnished core. In the case of a jetsetting lifestyle that whizzes me to New York, Switzerland, Tokyo, and all over Asia, the horrifyingly ugly truth is that these days, my key source of nutrition is none other than plane food. I disgustingly realized that recently, up to 80% of my meals has consisted of horrid, plasticky, “It-doesn’t-really-make-a-huge-difference-if-it’s-business-class” plane food. Yuck. Period. There is a reason why plane food has a foil cover. Aside from reheating purposes, it gives you time to mentally prepare before taking a sneak peak inside to assess the food quality. At that point you then decide to either give in to hunger and dig in, or gently reseal the lid and order extra drinks—lots of them. Of course this is not the stuff of great tearjerkers, but it is especially during these times I become wistful and reminisce about my old life in Manila, back in the kitchen of my parents, lovingly fed in the kitchen of my father. I was an over-fed...

...Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. has been engaged in the manufacture and sale confectionery products since 1896 when Austrian-born Leo Hirshfield opened a tiny candy shop in New York City. Hirshfield handcrafted a variety of products, including an individually wrapped, oblong, chewy, chocolate candy that quickly became a customer favorite. The hand wrapping – believed to be an industry first – enabled Hirshfield’s product to stand out among the competitor’s candy-counter offerings, which were sold by the scoop from jars (St. James Press, 1996). Sold at a penny apiece and affectionately named after Hirshfield’s five-year old daughter, Clara, whose nickname was “Tootsie,” Tootsie Rolls propelled Hirshfield’s modest corner store into burgeoning candy enterprise that has evolved in little more than a century into the multinational corporation, Tootsie Roll Industries. The Tootsie Roll Industry main head quarter and production plant is located in Chicago, Illinois. Its operations are also in Illinois; Massachusetts; Tennessee; Wisconsin; Mexico City, Mexico; and Concord, Ontario. Today they employee around 2200 employees. The company’s website is www.tootsie.com. Its three top competitors are listed as The Hershey Company (Ticker Symbol HSY), Nestle S.A.

...1.1 The Roots of Indian Wine Persian conquerors brought grape vines to India nearly 2500 years ago; wine consumption is first mentioned in a text on statecraft written about 300 b.c. Wine was a beverage for elites, not the masses (who apparently wanted stronger stuff), and lived a shadowy existence that continues today due to concerns about alcohol consumption. The influence of British colonizers contributed to the growth of Indian wine production in the 19th century, before the scourge of phylloxera hit India’s vineyards in the 1890s with predictable results. Table grapes are a major crop in India and wine grapes are grown in several regions, generally at altitudes of 200m – 800m, although vineyards at 1000m exist in Kashmir. Growing conditions are surprisingly good using viticulture practices that take humidity and rainfall patterns into account (harvest must be complete before the monsoon). Two crops per year are common. Since independence in 1947, wine has been caught in a crossfire in India. On one hand, it is a heavily controlled substance. Article 47 of the constitution makes it a function of the state to discourage alcohol consumption (Gandhi and some other early leaders were teetotallers), so wine imports are highly taxed and advertising is forbidden. Individual state governments within India tax and regulate wine sales much as in the United States, creating a distributional crazy quilt. At the same time, however, some state governments promote viticulture and...

PepsiCo’s Acquisition of Quaker Oats Case © The McGraw−Hill Companies, 2002 1 case 23 PepsiCo’s Acquisition of Quaker Oats John E. Gamble University of South Alabama In 2001, PepsiCo was the world’s fifth-largest food and beverage company, with such brands as Lay’s, Tostitos, Mountain Dew, Pepsi, Doritos, Aquafina, and Lipton contributing to revenues of approximately $26 billion. PepsiCo’s revenues had reached $31 billion in 1996, but a new corporate strategy embarked upon in 1997 slimmed the company’s portfolio from a collection of fast-food restaurants, snack foods, and beverages to a sharply focused lineup of convenience foods and beverages. Between 1997 and 1999, CEO Roger Enrico spun off Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut as one independent, publicly traded company; created a stand-alone softdrink bottling business through an initial public offering; and entered additional snack and beverage categories with the acquisitions of Cracker Jack and Tropicana. Enrico’s focus on convenience foods and beverages placed PepsiCo in food and beverage categories that grew at twice the 2 percent industry growth rate and gave it a 2-to-1 market share lead over its nearest competitor in the convenience food and beverage industry. Roger Enrico and Quaker Oats Company’s CEO, Robert Morrison, jointly announced on December 4, 2000, that PepsiCo would acquire Quaker Oats...

...books, water your plants, or sharpen your pencils for the fifth time. If this situation sounds familiar, you may find it reassuring to know that many professionals undergo these same strange compulsions before they begin writing. Jean Kerr, author of Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, admits that she often finds herself in the kitchen reading soup-can labels—or anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader, and 2. More than anything, you want to communicate those ideas to your reader. These reminders may seem obvious to you, but without a solid commitment to your own opinions as well as to your reader, your prose will be lifeless and boring. If you don’t care about your subject, you...
