...Opdracht 'Literatuurstudie projectbedrijf’ Literatuurstudie is het startpunt van goed onderzoek. De studie biedt de mogelijkheid tot verbreding en/of verdieping in het desbetreffende onderwerp. De eerste fase is het analyseren en afbakenen van de probleemstelling en de deelvragen. Daarna kun je bepalen welke informatiebronnen relevant zijn om jouw vraag te beantwoorden. Wanneer je relevante bronnen hebt gevonden dan ga je deze doorlezen, bestuderen en analyseren. Teksten die relevant zijn voor het onderzoek ga je verwerken tot een samenvatting, en waar mogelijk gebruik je relevante literatuur en modellen. Het uiteindelijk resultaat van de literatuurstudie is een literatuurrapport. Als startpunt voor project E1 gaan jullie per persoon een literatuurrapport schrijven m.b.t. een onderwerp/model wat voor jullie project interessant is. Hoe ga je te werk? Als groep maken jullie uit de onderstaande lijst een keuze (per persoon 1 onderwerp). Zoek uit wat het specifieke onderwerp/model inhoud en zet dit op papier. Dit onderwerp moet je helemaal uitdiepen. Zet op papier waarom het interessant kan zijn voor het projectbedrijf. Tijdens de literatuurstudie maak je gebruik van relevante literatuur (minimaal 3 verschillende bronnen). Tevens maak je gebruik van het literatuurvoorschrift. Het aanleren van deze manier om met literatuur om te gaan, gaat je heel wat voordeel geven bij het realiseren van je afstudeeropdracht. Je wordt dus geacht om individueel een rapport op te leveren...

...Markisha Carter/ Unit Two “B” Essay Amy Chua is obviously very opinionated. There is a lot of controversy surrounding her memoir, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, in which she was very harsh towards her daughters and made it clear that her parenting methods were better than those of a Western parent. There is no manual on parenting, but how do we know when we as parents cross the line between being concerned for our child’s future and being overbearing? Being a parent myself, I know firsthand that it gets frustrating and sometimes, that inner control can be lost. Amy demonstrated this challenge plenty of times. I acknowledge that Amy may have thought she was motivating her children to be strong, successful women but I don’t think she let them have a proper childhood. It’s sad how not once throughout the entire book was it ever mentioned that the girls went to the movies or to the mall. Amy did not let her girls initiate anything. She didn’t allow them to make mistakes on their own or to be themselves. When they look back on their childhood, they will have no fun memories to remember. It will always be about what their mother wanted. Nevertheless, she did a good job raising the girls. From the beginning of the memoir, Amy compared Eastern and Western parenting. There is no doubt in my mind that most Chinese parents do raise “stereotypically successful” children but anyone can raise a successful child. I also don’t doubt the love that Amy has for her children. My problem...

Netsayi SECTION A Manufacturing Industry With reference to the manufacturing industry critically review the academic literature and identify conflicting perspectives on the following costs and cost behaviours, select an appropriate ;;approach and justify your choice. a) The definition of fixed overhead and relevant range and the short-run and long-run behaviour of fixed overhead. Fixed overhead is the cost of manufacturing that does not change with volume but changes with passage of time or much higher quantity .it is fixed for a certain defined relevant range I n the short run but will change in long run. De Costa (1996) describes fixed costs as those costs which volume can be spread and identifies equipment and plant as limiting factors of production. When volume increase fixed costs remain unchanged up to a certain point that is the level accommodated by the available plant and equipment .Edwards J. D (1965)on the other hand gives two perspectives on fixed costs where direct costing treats fixed costs as period costs and are excluded from product costs. He goes on to note that depreciation is assumed fixed by direct costing but in the long run it is variable. The other perspectives noted by accounts who just measure and match revenue and expenses hence the...

To remain profitable, the company started to scale back its overseas operations. In 2010, as the world...

Joint venture allows companies to pool their resources together and benefit each of the companies in reaching their potential. Apart from that, joint venture also allows company to complement each other short coming with what they do best. This is evidently shown when discussing Daicel Evonik Ltd where Daicel Chemical Industries Ltd and Huels AG complement each other in term market knowledge and technological capabilities know-how among them. But then, joint venture does have limitation where culture plays an important barrier to achieve success. In Danone Co. Ltd and Wahaha Co. Ltd which will be discussed further, the dissolution of ventureship between these two companies can be attribute to communication particularly in conflict management. Thus, managing cultural differences is important especial in term of managing conflict among the partners. Conflicts are parts of life and may appear in any organization. They particularly often occur in hybrid organizations whose parents coming from different cultures, different countries with different ways of thinking and doing things.

...Customer Clusters as Sources of Innovation-Based Competitive Advantage Vishal Bindroo, Babu John Mariadoss, and Rajani Ganesh Pillai ABSTRACT The authors examine the effect of customer clusters on a firm’s innovation. They argue that knowledge leveraged from customer clusters can help the firm develop innovations. The authors specifically concentrate on the effect of a firm’s geographical proximity and diversity of customer clusters on innovation outcomes. In addition to showing the importance of customer cluster proximity on firm innovation, they explore the effect of customer cluster heterogeneity on innovation in an international marketing environment. They test the theoretical model using multicountry data (N = 288) drawn from the U.K. innovation survey implemented by the Economic and Social Research Council, which collected the data across five European countries. Theoretical constructs operate largely as hypothesized and explain a substantial proportion of the variation in the different innovation outcomes tested. Keywords: radical innovation, customer cluster, cluster heterogeneity, proximity, innovation speed I nnovation is frequently acknowledged as the source of organizational renewal and growth, the primary source of competitive advantage (Porter 1990), and central to marketing strategy (Varadarajan and Jayachandran 1999). Because innovation is linked to superior financial performance and survival ability of firms (Agarwal, Cockburn, and McHale 2006), creating...
