...La vaca One of the things that impact me the most when i was reading this book was describing me in some aspects of my life. I have always lived with some thoughts that have limited my life in certain way. As the book said, the mediocrity and conformism always give us the bad idea that we cannot be better than we are now. And in some cases we have to face some rude situation, like the family of the book that lost the cow, to reorganize our thoughts and ideas in order to be different and reach different goals The book said that the limitations are created by ourselves, and that is totally true, and I speak by myself. At the time I read this quote I was imagine myself nowadays in the university, the way I suffer every time that I have to make a presentation in front of my classmates, it is so hard, but now after I read this I realized that it is a vaca that I was feeding since I was a kid and I have to take the decision to kill it One aspect that I want to take into account and also to add to this great book is the felling to be less than others. It is a big cow in my life and this book showed the way how to overcome it. I always had the feeling that everyone around me is better than me at the time to speak in English, I can imagine all the words and phrases in my mind, but at the time that I have to speak and my classmates stare at me I panic and I start to think that I am not good enough to do what I have to do; I remember a lot of opportunities that I lost because of my fear...

Milan, 4 August 2010 – Attracting and retaining the best talent, the core scope of employer branding, has always been one of the main preoccupations of managers operating in boom times as well as in what has been called the Great Recession. Employer branding used to be exclusively an offline activity practiced in many ways including through job fairs, advertising, marketing and internal newsletters. Companies are still passing on the same type of information to current and prospective employees only now they are increasingly doing it through their website. Employer branding is a company’s pitch to current and prospective employees. It is the company’s bid to show why it is a desirable place to work. Good online employer branding is a key step in the drive to getting and keeping top employees, but how should companies confront the process? Job seekers are using the internet, that we know, but how much and what are they looking for?

...COST ANALYSIS ON A SMALL BUSINESS START-UP IN CHINA (B) List the major management decisions that Sindy made. Explain what effects these decisions have on the financial performance of Easy Business. Based on the case, our group managed to identify a few of management decisions that Sindy made and what are the effects of those decisions to the financial performance of Easy Business Company Limited: 1. Recruiting job focus only on blue collar and junior staff positions (low level positions) When Sindy first started her business, she decided to focus only on low level position market segmentation as she felt that there was a greater hiring need and market for front line operators. This is a good management decision taken by Sindy because she knew that as a new hiring agency in the job hiring industry, is was not easy for her to compete with other well-established hiring agency. Thus, it was easy for her by focus on low level positions where most of hiring agency are not interested with because it may seems unprofitable and not aligned with their reputation of well-known hiring agencies. As a result, Sindy faced with minimum competition in the market. In addition, the fact that most of Sindy clients were supermarkets and food courts which consistently searching for people for various low level positions such as shop assistants, cashiers and others also benefited her as she able to have fifteen positions per week to be advertise, and that was three times higher than the...
