...international, state, and non-government bodies. Each organization influences each other, but it is evident that the United States holds a singular importance in the system. Ever since the country entered the global stage, a far change from its beginnings as a nation with expressed neutrality, it has continuously played a growing part. The United States is able to play a part in the global legal system through its large influence in foreign affairs. Considered the current hegemon, it has been able to for simplicity sake dictate through its many outlets its preference of a legal system. They have been successful in this agenda with the assistance of the powerful Department of Justice, their numerous government agencies, as well as with the influence of American economic and humanitarian programs, among others. This paper will try to explain the United States’ power and influence of the global legal system, through practices such as transgovernmentalism and positive comity as well as by such bodies as the United States Supreme Court, the Department of Justice, the State Department, and the U.S. Agency for International Development. Also investigated is the United States’ role with international bodies such as the International Criminal Court, an organization that America disagrees with and has refused to join. Some questions however remain; through its global programs and supremacy, has the United States been affected by foreign influence? Has the United States tried...

...To understand vaccinations, it is useful to know that diseases are caused by living cellular organisms that overwhelm a person’s immune system. Our immune system includes specialized cells that recognize and target specific proteins found on the outer coat of foreign cells. When a disease enters the body, the immune cells bind to the proteins located on the pathogen’s outer shell and spew out millions of antibodies that will bind to that identical protein on other infectious cells. Once bound, the organism has been tagged for destruction and is quickly devoured by white blood cells before it can multiply and spread. The first time a person is exposed to a foreign agent, it takes a while for the body to generate enough antibodies to rid the body of all the invaders, but once they have been created, millions will remain in the system and are available for a very rapid response should that pathogen enter the body again. It isn’t that the disease is unable to re-enter a person, it’s just that the body is ready and devours the disease before it has a chance to proliferate and cause any symptoms. An interesting property of anti-bodies is that they only recognize the outer covering of invaders (pathogens). This means that the only thing that is required by a vaccine to trigger the immune response are bits of the outside covering of a pathogen, so vaccines...

Nevertheless, there is a paucity of literature addressing the implications of foreign investment towards the sustainability of business amongst Malaysian Bumiputera (Indigenous) new technology-based firms (NTBFs). Utilizing Weick’s (1989) conceptual theory building approach, this study provides a foundation for conceptualizing the implications of foreign investment in Malaysian Bumiputera new technology-based firms. Through systematic documentary analysis of the development of foreign investment activities in Malaysia prior to independence (1957) until 2009, our consolidated findings yield a conceptual model showing the implications of foreign investment to the sustainability ...

...are about twelve thousand NGOs in all over the world operating in most countries. These organizations are not directly affiliated with any national government, but often have a significant Impact on the social, economy and political activity of the country or region involved. So, we can say that NGOs have become major players in the field of international and national development. Bangladesh has largely failed to assist the poor or reduce poverty because of limited resources and planning, while NGOs have grown dramatically, but it ostensibly fails to fill this gap. There are more and bigger NGOs here than in any other country of equivalent size. Here, NGOs have mainly functioned to service the needs of the landless, usually assisted by foreign donor funding as a counterpoint to the state's efforts. Besides all these, in the field of NGO, Financial Reporting process and application of accounting is disgraceful. NGOs in Bangladesh have increasingly become subject to question and criticism from the government, political parties, intellectuals and the public in genus for misuse of funds, gender discrimination, and nepotism. Absence of proper guidelines in preparing financial statements and reports makes it more complex. The government of Bangladesh doesn’t have any unique rules for preparing the financial reports. In this report we will discuss about the financial reporting and Accounting system of NGOs and hopefully, the analysis and discussion of reporting systems will give guidance...

...Lutfi Guefara A. definition Applied Linguistics Today, development of linguistics is growing fast. Another aspect related to the fields of language study is also growing. Studies on language not only include one aspect only, but have spread to other aspects outside the language associated with the use of language and human life. Linguistic theory is a branch of applied linguistics that focuses on the general theory and methods in language research. Branches of linguistics can be divided into phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. Therefore, applied linguistics can be applied in any field. One of these fields is education. More exactly in terms of language learning, in this case there should be more discussion about the relationship linguistic applied to language learning. The word linguistics (linguistics-UK) comes from the Latin "lingua" meaning language. In the French language "-langage langue"; Italian "lingua"; Spanish "lengua" and English "language". the function of Suffix "ics" in linguistics to indicate the name of a science, which means the science of language, as the term economics, physics and others.

...ignoring or favoring one culture over the other one would bring revenue to a decline and general decline of the whole company. For success to be acquired, varied decision making process and organizational models have to be considered with regard to how they change and cultures involved. Culture affect the behavior and preferences of customers and business partners. To be effective in a foreign market, the manager has to adapt their products to acquire the varied needs of a certain group of clients. Any change that has to be made in advertising or features of products among others will to some extend be based on cultural context. The success or inefficiency of a company is reliant upon how well the staff undertake their business and technical skills in a new environment. This capacity is reliant upon the job-based skills and personal sensitivity and how they handle a new cultural setting. One of the common issues that lead to the downfall of companies is the belief that success at home will go on to reflect success abroad. Studies show that ineffectiveness to manage business in foreign countries is attributed to inability to adapt to the model of thinking from a technical and professional perspective. Locally, the business people arm themselves...

E-mail: tjohnsen@audencia.com; rjohnsen@audencia.com Tel: + 33 (0)240 37 46 25 Abstract This study explores the dynamic process of global sourcing development through a case study of the Swedish home furnishing giant IKEA and its supply network concerning the PAX wardrobe system. The paper provides a synthesis of the existing global sourcing literature by dividing this growing body of research into three major themes: globalization processes and stages, motives/drivers, and organizational design and management. Moreover, the paper integrates the global sourcing literature with the established literature on the internationalization process of firms. Comparing the existing research on global sourcing and internationalization, we propose two research questions focused on: (1) the ways in which the IKEA global sourcing and supply chain development process resembles a linear stages process, and (2) the principal drivers of the development of global sourcing within IKEA. Relating the findings of the global sourcing process in the case of IKEA, the paper suggests that the...
