...Management Sharly Joana Halder and Wooju Kim Yonsei University, Seoul 120-749, Republic of Korea {sjhalder,wkim}@yonsei.ac.kr Abstract. The readymade garment industry of Bangladesh has expanded dramatically over the last three decades. Traditionally, the jute industry dominated the industrial sector of the country until the 1970s. Since the early 1980s, the readymade garment industry has emerged as an important player in the economy of the country and has gradually replaced the jute industry. Although Bangladesh is a garments based country, in most of the garments, employees work manually though there are some error in the software and also those software do not work properly. We developed a system which highlighted the style sheet information, export L/C, back to back L/C, U/D preparation, input commercial invoice, export invoice and so on, which save time and money, increased data communication and transmission and faster data retrieval. Keywords: Export, import, readymade, garments. 1 Introduction The ready-made garment (RMG) industry of Bangladesh started in the late 1970s and became a prominent player in the economy within a short period of time. The industry has contributed to export earnings, foreign exchange earnings, employment creation, poverty alleviation and the empowerment of women. Shirts, T-shirts, trousers, sweaters and jackets are the main products manufactured and exported by the industry. Bangladesh exports its RMG products mainly to the United States...

...Communication Style case study patricia Ofoegbu HCS/305 3/3/14 BSN Communication Style case study There are four kinds of communication styles; assertive, passive, aggressive and passive-aggressive. In assertive communication, the communicators are confident and positive and lay claim to their own right to speak up for themselves. A personal experience from my working place in a mental health facility, where I had a case when a mental ill patient was placed on four – point restraints for trying to strangle a room mate. The charge nurse called Dr cassette, that is a code for emergency rescue or for aggressive behavior response when any patient is acting up. When all the staff gathered together, she assigned each person to specific task to do. Asmat can you please close the unit, tell the patients to remain in their room for 10 minutes, don’t let anybody to block the hallway. Patricia get the doctor’s order, give the shot as ordered by doctor and make sure the patient did not eat anything for about 30 minutes to prevent choking. Ursula make sure that you make rounds every 15 minutes, check the rise and fall of patient’s chest, check the vital signs every two hours, document whatever result you get. Please alert me immediately if there is any deviation from normal range. Passive communication; here the problems don’t get solved and the delegator is avoided and ends up doing more work him or herself. Example of this communication style I have experienced in my work...

...on strong communication between its employees and senior management to the entire organization. Moreover, a successful organization depends on functional groups which are powered by strong individuals that hold a leadership position. Leaders have a tremendous effect on an organization and can influence the organization and its employees in a variety of ways both positively and negatively. In terms of communication, leaders influence how an organization’s managers and employees communicate with each other. Effective communication occurs when the intended receiver understands this idea, information, or belief in the way the sender intends. However, when the receiver fails to interpret the meaning of the idea, information, or the feeling the sender is attempted to transmit, the result is poor communication. When this occurs, negative reactions, confusion, or even anger can occur that can result in a good idea or plan to fail (Nayab, N. (2010). How does Leadership Affect Group Communication. Retrieved from http://www.brighthubpm.com/resource-management/92791-how-does-leadership-affect-group-communication/). Southwest Airlines was established and is currently operated by individuals who pride themselves as strong leaders, who insisted on creativity within the company, and created an organization that allowed its employees to communicate with each other and with senior management. One of the main reasons why Southwest Airlines is rated one of the top places to work and consistently...

...Leadership Styles and Their Consequences D. D. Warrick University of Colorado This article discusses leadership style theories and offers an integration of the theories by describing the typical characteristics, philpsophy, skills, and consequences associated with each major style. Then an experimental exercise is offered that portrays the major styles and the productivity and satisfaction each i s likely to produce. Finally, a debriefing is presented that helps interpret the exercise and integrate the style theories with contingency theory. Importance of Leadership Style Few leaders understand the full significance of how influential their leadership style is on the performance and satisfaction of their employees. Leaders control both interpersonal and material rewards and punishments that often shape employee behavior and influence an employee’s performance, motivation, and attitude. They can affect an employee’s self-image and resulting potential in either a positive or negative way by being supportive, fair, and encouraging, or unsupportive, inconsistent, and critical. In addition, they can even affect an employee’s health and energy level by creating a stimulating work climate or one filled with tension and fear. The influence of a leader’s style reaches greater proportions as the effects on individuals begin to have a cumulative effect on group performance. There are no doubt variables other than a leader’s style that affect employee performance and satisfaction...

...Nursing 429V Dr. Rhonda Johnston January 7, 2016 Vark: One or all “Do you know how you learn?” This is the first sentence on a website that introduces the reader to a way of classifying ways of learning. According to this site, Vark-learn.com (2016), although we have known for centuries about different learning modes, the VARK questionnaire developed in 1987 by Dr. Neil Fleming from New Zealand, was the first to present a series of questions that classified individuals to learning modalities. This classifications came with help sheets for individuals to use in their own way or style of learning. Today this system is still used by high schools, colleges and business to help enhance learning and teaching experiences. These sheets are divided into four groups. Their classifications are: Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic strategies. The acronym VARK comes from the four divisions. Classification sheets, also referred as help sheets by the VARK website, discuss strategies that help enhance the taking in of information, strategies that make studying or learning more effective, and tips on how to perform well on examinations. But the truth is not as simple as to classifying individuals to just one learning modality. In fact about 35% of individuals use a four-part multimodal approach, and sometimes may switch to a single preferred mode that fits the situation (VARK personal, 2016). Sometimes by using all four modes, learning can become more time consuming. Being...

...Home Page »Business and Management Communications Self-Assessment In: Business and Management Communications Self-Assessment Communication style can be summed up as, the way one is perceived by others vs. how one perceives themselves and the way one interacts with others. The text “Interpersonal skills in Organizations” talks about how behaviour, personality and attitude are key factors in determining communication style. Before reading chapter 1 of the above text, I would have said that my communication skills could be heavily worked on. I am generally very shy and nervous when it comes to talking to people I don’t know and am worried about what others will think about my own thoughts and ideas. Although I am very open to others ideas and am able to see how one idea would work the same as another would, I tend to be afraid of how one might take my own interpretation. After reading the text and doing exercise 1-A and 1-B I realised that my self- evaluation of myself was not far off at all. Scoring moderately in “emotional stability” and “extroversion” shows that, although I am rather shy I am also able to work with others, even if I prefer to do solo work and am well rounded when it comes to my opinions and the options of others. My high ratings in “open to experience” and “agreeableness,” back up my theory that I am much more reserved, although I like to learn new things and look at situations from many perspectives. Having a more low or “flexible” score in “conscientiousness”...
