...CLIFFORD CHANCE: REPOTTING THE TREE | OPEOLUWA OSISANYA | EMBA 21 | GROUP 2 | ABP Understanding of the Problem Peter Charleton had a difficult task to: Convince his fellow managing and senior partners to support his campaign to sway the dozens of other partners of Clifford Chance LLP (one of the most successful law firms in the world) to relocate the London Headquarter offices from the central business district of London to a redeveloped business park at Canary Wharf. The current lease of the offices in London was due to expire in 4years and the firm was growing fast in clientele and employees exceeding the London office’s capacity hence space constraints. A decision is imminent. The organization needs to occupy and maintain offices that would portray a premium brand image and provide a conducive working environment for the employees. The relocation to Canary Wharf is a gamble. However, the Clifford Chance London offices is a historic and traditional corporate location with the best services, prestige and comfort associated with the central business district of London. Most critically, relocation away from Central London would affect proximity to key clients, courthouses, litigation offices all of where the most critical Clifford Chance businesses are conducted. Clifford Chance LLP’s Priorities Peter’s objectives are clearly evident from the problem statement. The firm needed to provide space that: Offered the highest quality work environment in order...

...A. Introduction One of the ways to tell and educate the children about moral values is by telling a story. At school, teachers usually tell the students some inspiring stories which usually are fiction, such as fables, legend and other folktales. One of the most famous stories told by teachers and parents is Kancil (Mousedeer) story. Kancil story is kind of fable as the characters in the story are animals. Fables, which frequently feature animal characters, are told with the intention of educating the listener or the reader[1]. The stories which often use animal characters are memorable way of reinforcing moral and ethical precepts and of teaching practical lessons on how to get along in the world[2]. Kancil (Mousedeer) is one of the most famous characters in a fable in Indonesia and some other Asian countries. There are a lot of stories using Kancil as the main character. In Indonesia the story about Kancil is influenced by the culture of the people in one region. Therefore, as Indonesia has a lot of ethnics with their culture, it makes Kancil stories are told in different version and different name based on the language, custom, value and religion of one society. For example, Aceh and other Malay people call Kancil as Pelanduk with the famous story “Hikayat Pelanduk Jenaka”; while in North Sumatera, Bataknese people call it Paes. However, still all the stories about Kancil describe him with the same character. Kancil is usually described as a clever, tricky and...

...Anthropology 202 Fall 2015 Instructor: Ian Kalman Written Assignment: Ethnographic Observation This assignment is an exercise in ethnographic observation. Students are asked to choose a location in the Montreal area for a field site. There, they will spend at least an hour, taking (hand-written) notes on what they observe. Successful sites are those in which, to some extent, what is considered ‘normal’ differs from the observer’s own sense of normal. In other words, students are asked to go to a place where taken-for-granted knowledge differs from their own and report on their experiences and insights. In doing so, you make something that was previously strange slightly more familiar, and write about it. Students are then asked to write their papers in two parts, including both a description and analysis of their experience (total 1800 words maximum). Analyses should be no more than 400 words. Papers will be assigned a grade based on the success with which they, (1) demonstrate they have chosen a site appropriate for anthropological observation, (2) richly describe what they observed, and (3) draw out and support interesting interpretations rooted in their experience. Assignments count for 30% of the student’s final grade. Unexcused late submissions will be penalized five points per day of lateness. Papers must be submitted in word format electronically before 2:30PM on Tuesday, October 20th. Please note that as this is an electronic submission, you will be...

...How a PR company managed a celebrity’s image * Nigella Lawson- Mark Hutchinson Management has managed Nigella Lawson’s PR since the publication of her groundbreaking cookbook How To Eat in 1998. Since then he has managed publicity for all Nigella’s projects including television series and product launches in the UK and worldwide. Nigella Lawson looks very feminine due to her curves and her whole physique. She conforms to the male gaze, as she is very feminine. She is shown to be classy and very lady like; this would attract the male audience’s attention. Nigella Lawson comes across as the stereotypical women to have, as she is presented to be perfect. From the dog days of late 2013, which saw her accused of being ‘off her head’ on coke by ex-husband Charles Saatchi, and her private life dissected in court at the trial of her two former assistants after they were found not guilty of a £685,000 fraud on the accounts of her and her former husband. She chose to admit taking cocaine on seven occasions as she gave evidence against Elisabetta and Francesca Grillo, who had been accused of spending lavishly on family credit cards without the permission of her or her husband of 10 years Charles Saatchi. The jury of seven men and five women handed down the not guilty verdict after eight hours and 52 minutes of deliberation. The jury had heard claims from the Grillo sisters that the use of cocaine and cannabis was rife in the Lawson home as part of a defense aimed at showing a household...

..."I am a student at the University of Kansas studying English and American Studies, and this may be a bit unorthodox, but I wanted to say that your book Writing Essays About Literature was one of the best books I have ever read in the world of academia! I am taking a Critical Theory class, and we were assigned only the first 55 pages, but I really could not put the book down. Your writing is magnificent, and I am constantly referring to the book when writing papers. You have done a brilliant job making essay-writing easy, structured, and actually enjoyable!" - Lauren Gaylor, University of Kansas "Katherine O. Acheson's Writing Essays About Literature is a concise, fully portable and very well-priced guide that gets it right. Acheson's emphasis on inductive reasoning is wonderfully refreshing. It really helps English professors persuade their students to argue from the specific to the general, to found their arguments on the details of evidence and on the careful—and affectively sensitive—analysis of that evidence. And the very best thing about this book is that Acheson's casual and unassuming prose style makes students want to read it. And they do. And then they bring it to class!" - Glenn Clark, University of Manitoba "For those of us interested in teaching writing through literature, Katherine O. Acheson's guide is an indispensable companion, teaching students that writing is more about process and less about imagined giftedness. The book begins by teaching students how...
