...Globaloganization of Renault Development Strategy By Said Cherkaoui Executive Briefing: This article presents the drive of Renault from the edge of bankruptcy to the rise of its model Logan to international preeminence, fame and success. At the same time, Renault concentrated its production in countries that have been considered by the major car manufacturers as solely a marketplace and not the location of their production. For Renault, the first half of the 1980s were “the crossing of the desert” when the French automaker reached the edges of bankruptcy, while Volkswagen continued to expand in terms of production and market reach. Volkswagen developed its international base through the acquisitions in 1991 of Skoda, the automobile manufacturer in the Czech Republic and SEAT, the Sociedad Española de Automóviles de Turismo. After the withdrawal of Fiat in 1981, the Volkswagen Group subsidiary Audi AG signed a cooperation agreement with SEAT, becoming the major shareholder in 1986, and 100% owner of the company. In 1990, SEAT expanded its operations in China and Latin America. In comparison, Renault put the brakes on its international drive and concentrated its efforts on solving internal dissensions in the aftermath of the terrorist slaying of its CEO. Renault also focused on renewing its relationship with the new French Government, smoothing the resistance of left-wing Unions, finding acceptable solutions to its large and aging North-African immigrant ...

...becoming more and more willing to compromise on comfort, basing car purchase decisions mainly on price instead. In the emerging markets, the new middle class demands value for money automotives. Since they are willing to buy new cars a potential car seller has to meet price With the mid-range price segment shrinking, companies can only earn money on expensive premium offerings or in the low cost segment. At the same time, high fuel prices are driving down demand for large SUVs while boosting sales of small cars. Despite Western Europe‘s prosperity, car prices have outgrown the wages. As a result, many consumers are becoming more and more willing to compromise on comfort, basing car purchase decisions mainly on price instead. Renault's Dacia Logan was the first model to show Western Europeans that it really is possible for them to build cars at a profit in the low cost car segment. Low-cost cars are the single most important trend in the automotive industry today The low-cost car segment seems to be facing a bright future with steady growing sales volumes. But what is also of crucial...

...social work, medicine, nursing, counseling, and even literature. Or media studies about mental illness and psychopathology (Movies and Mental). As such, I had watched a psychological thriller film in my earliest day and the film gave an example about psychological disorder. The film was “The Number 23.” The Number 23 film was released in 2007, February 23th and directed by Joel Schumacher. The film starred with Jim Carrey, Virginia Madsen, Danny Huston, and Logan Lerman. Also, the film was Jim Carrey first leading role in a suspense thriller and the psychological disorder about the film is “Dissociative disorders.” Dissociative disorders are so-called because they are marked by a dissociation from or interruption of a person's fundamental aspects of waking consciousness (Maser Jack). In other word, the individual can’t remember their identity and history because of memory loss. From the film, Carrey acted as an animal control officer named “Walter Sparrow,” have a wife, Agatha (Virginia Madsen) and a son, Robin (Logan Lerman). The story from the film began when Walter was reading a book (his wife brought it from the book store where they were and decided to be as a present for his birthday ) and the title was “The Number 23” written by “Topsy Kretts (homophone pen name Walter used).” The book was a murder mystery and the main character is a detective who refers as the “Fingerling.” The character explained about the named he got came from obscure children’s book which Walter...

...The parking area was well lit with ample parking spaces available even though it was a Saturday night around 9:00 p.m. Upon entering, you are in front of the greeter’s desk where you are met with a friendly greeter with a beautiful smile. [Reword to make sentence flow better] You can smell the peanuts and see the floor covered with peanut hulls. You have a choice of sitting at a table, a booth or sitting at the bar. Logan’s Roadhouse is filled with the mixed aromas of menu choices being prepared. You are escorted to the seating area you have chosen. However, to our surprise the entrees arrived before appetizers and I just had a gut feeling that everything would be downhill from here on and believe me it The correct side orders were not with the correct main dish, everyone had ordered steaks; but not the same kind of steak nor were they to be cooked to the same degree. The worst problem was with my mothers’ order, which was a T-bone steak to be cooked well-done (no one else ordered a T-bone) [unnecessary/irrelevant] and her order came back rare. As the saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words”, you should have seen my mother’s facial expression when she inserted her knife into her steak and blood oozed out; she was literally seething with fury and ready to walk out and E-mail the corporate office that night. The waitress was very apologetic and my mother was convinced to send the order back. The steak was returned charred on the outside and” medium rare” on the...

...Legal Ethics Instructor: Brent Halbleib Assignment: Unit 3 Confidentiality and Attorney/Client Privilege Name: Donna Marie Brown Date: July 26, 2015 Possible Points: 100 Confidentiality and Attorney- Client Privilege Donna Marie Brown Kaplan University Confidentiality and the Alton Logan Case “Sometimes trying to make wrongful conviction right, creates an ethical tension for civil and criminal attorneys. With any kind of practice, but mostly with criminal defense, a lawyer may learn from a client that they committed a crime ascribed to someone else. When an innocent person is faced with conviction, imprisonment, or in some cases, the death penalty, and the attorney is mindful of the injustice occurring to a third party, the lawyer is still bound by the rules of confidentiality to honor their commitment to their client.” (Strutin, 2015) And this begins the case with Mr. Alton Logan. In 1982, Alton Logan was convicted of killing a security guard at a Chicago-area McDonalds. Even though the testimony that Logan was at home when the murder happened, the jury still found him guilty of first degree murder And to top it off, the two attorneys, Dale Coventry and Jamie Kunz, knew Logan was innocent. And how did this knowledge come about? Andrew Wilson, the attorneys’ client, admitted to the murder. The two attorneys who were representing Wilson, for killing two policemen, was told by Wilson that he was also guilty of killing the security guard at McDonalds. But because of...

...Another example of Wolverine’s selflessness in Logan is arguably one of the saddest scenes in the movies. Wolverine reunites Laura with her mutant friends in their hideout, but the scientists have found the children, and they brought back up. The scientists are shooting at the children trying to capture them, fortunately because the children are mutants they are able to fight back and defend themselves. Then, the scientists bring out Weapon X-24, a clone of Wolverine from his prime. For Wolverine to save the children from dying at the hands (or claws) of his clone, Wolverine must give it his all; which when you’re slowly dying from adamantium poisoning can be hard. Logan injects himself with a serum that will temporarily restore him to full strength to allow him to have a fair chance against his clone, to allow the children a chance to get away. The two clawed mutants fight, and as the serum wears off things seem to look grim for Logan. Weapon X-24 impales Logan on a tree branch, right through the chest. It seems as if all hope is lost and that the bad guys have won, but then...

...Human beings lives are lived around the separation of individuality and conformity. Sometimes we are confused and pressured into deciding if we want to be individuals or conformists. We live in a society that functions as a whole and need conformity in life. People want to be accepted by others and belong to something bigger. Living in society, we are under pressure to surrender our individuality to our surroundings. Acceptance is one of people’s most demanding goals in life. Logan Feys is correct in regards to being strong and free enough to live independently. The writer points out “entering society on no one’s terms but your own.” Advisors, teachers, friends, family, etc. should not pressure an individual into entering society and conforming...

...Current situation Delays are a very important issue at Boston’s Logan Airport, the fifth most delayed airport in the United States. Approximately 4.75% of total flights at Logan Airport are delayed and with total annual operations projected to increase over the next 15 years, it is important to address this issue today. Delay costs, which include operational and human costs, prove to be extensive and therefore a solution has to be found to ensure the survival of Logan airport. The major causes of these delays include the adverse weather conditions as well as the fact that demand tends to be clustered at certain periods of the day. There are several approaches that can be taken to conquer this delay problem. The first option, which has been determined to be the best alternative, is to build another runway. This would ensure at least two operating runways at all times, regardless of weather conditions. The second option proposed for dealing with the delay issue is that of peak period pricing (PPP), which entails increasing airline fees during periods of high demand in order to spread the demand for flights more evenly throughout the day. Problem analysis Weather is the foremost cause of delays in the case of Logan Airport. The airport’s operational capacity is significantly impacted by these adverse weather conditions (declining from approximately 120 operations per hour in normal conditions to approximately 80 operations per hour). In some cases, entire runways must be...

...NM1704: Applying a model of nursing roper, logan and tierney model This essay explores the preoperative care provided to one patient in a London hospital during one shift. This care was influenced by the holistic perspective to health. Arsing from the Greek for ‘whole’ this acknowledges physiological, psychological and social factors impacting the patient’s condition. (McFerran & Martin, 2008) It seeks to offer treatment inclusive of these factors rather than treating physical symptoms of a diagnosed disease in isolation. This essay will examine this within a Model of Nursing used in my clinical placement area - the Roper, Logan and Tierney model. The identities of both hospital and patient have been altered to maintain confidentiality and comply with the NMC Code of Conduct. (Council, 2008) During my placement I worked on a coronary care unit where I cared for a patient herein called Peter, a 60 year old White British male. Peter was single, lived alone and unemployed. He had a history of low mood and was admitted to a neighbouring hospital suffering symptoms of acute alcohol withdrawal syndrome (acute confusion, delusions and tremors). This arises when an individual reduces or stops alcohol consumption after prolonged periods of excessive alcohol intake. This can lead to tolerance, physical dependence and physical disturbances upon withdrawal due to the central nervous system reacting in a hyper-excitable state. (About.com, 2010) He was transferred to my area...

...However, it must be noted that it would be rather difficult to develop policies that monumentally alter the socioeconomic status of disadvantaged students. As I’ve aforementioned, the goal is not only to identify causes of educational inequality but to also develop policies that will resolve this issue. Furthermore, there are certain caveats that be taken into consideration with respect to the Logan & Burdick-Will study. One may simply conclude from this study that SES is the determining factor of educational attainment. However, this one finding shouldn’t be the be all end all of discussion, because more and more studies are showing that other factors come into play like school choice. In addition, minority students tend to have very little choice with their education, so the sample sizes and datasets of minority students enrolled in charter schools, for example, tend to be relatively small. Therefore, we can’t assume that these findings are unbiased and significant without consulting other...

...Article: The Mind Recovery Act - Why Obama's "War on Alzheimer's" may pay off This article struck my fancy because I have worked in the healthcare field, specifically with alzheimer's patients. I have also attended a lecture regarding studies done on Alzheimer's disease. This disease and potential treatments fascinate me and I am keeping my fingers crossed that a cure will be found by Obama's date of 2025. The author says, "Government declarations of war on drugs or disease often end in losing battles. That is why some neuroscientists have greeted the Obama administration’s goal of preventing or treating Alzheimer’s by 2025 with skepticism." (1) While I understand the author's concern about declarations leading to losing battles, I also believe that speaking out against drugs and disease can lead to positive change. Last semester in my Biostatistics class, I had the opportunity to attend a lecture from a member of the Cache County Study on Memory Health and Aging. It is a collaborative group of studies with researchers at Utah State University, Duke University Medical Center and The John Hopkins University. This study is conducted in Cache County, Utah and is designed to examine genetic and environmental factors associated with risk for Alzheimer's disease. This study has been going for longer than 16 years and has enrolled over 5000 residents of the county. The reason the study is conducted here is because Cache County elderly have longer life expectancy than...
