...Virksomheds økonomi, aflevering 5 LEGO Koncernen 1.1 LEGO er i solid fremgang, med en forbedring på halvanden milliard. Fremgangen skyldes bl.a. væksten på de nye markeder i udelandet. Især de amerikanske forbruger er meget begejstret for Lego. I øjeblikket er der en trend, ved at købe kvalitets og langvarige produkter, med en vedvarende værdi, hvis man altså kan stole på kvaliteten og værdien. Derudover har Lego også haft problemer med de store detailhandlere i udelandene, hvor de har et fremragende samarbejde nu. Også sygefravær og ulykke frekvensen er faldet, da LEGO har haft fokus på at skabe en tryg kultur omkring Lego som arbejdsplads. 1.2 LEGO koncernen vil tjene på divisionen Lego education, som er Lego man bruger til undervisning. Lego har haft Lego divisionen i længere tid, men divisionen har levet et stille liv uden vækst. Den nye unge direktør vil nu satse på denne division, og vil tjene milliarder på det, da innovation og kreativ udvikling bliver mere og mere efterspurgt i uddannelsessystemet. LEGO koncernen benytter derfor strategien Markedsindtrængning, da de allerede er på markedet, og vil bearbejde dette marked med handelsparametrene Price og promotion. Derudover er LEGO koncernen, en virksomheder der er præget af, at de hele tiden skal produktudvikle, så dette er selvfølgelig også en vækststrategi LEGO bruger.

...Economic Culture Cory Lyons ANT 101 Cora Moore January 17, 2016 Economic Culture Culture is a way of life, for a group of people. The behaviors and beliefs of the group become accepted and passed down through generations. Culture defines and differentiates humans from each other. Understanding different cultures from an unbiased view is cultural relativism. That is taking an emic viewpoint into people’s beliefs or practices. Over the course of this paper, I will examine one aspect of my own culture from an etic perspective, and I will examine an aspect of another culture from an insider’s perspective in order to better understand it more. Specifically, I will be examining the American economic culture, contrasted with the introduction of television to rural Fijian villages to show how the economy has almost consumed the culture in America, and that it may not be heathy to be engulfed in a culture that focuses on consumption and driven by the economy. Part I In this section, I will be discussing the state of the economy in America from an etic perspective. Meaning I will take “an outsider's or observer's allegedly ‘objective’ account” (Crapo, 2013, p. 1.1). This will allow me to examine the American economy objectively; even though I will able to pull from my own experiences and knowledge. In the article Body Ritual among the Nacerima by Horace Miner the Nacerima culture is examined from an outsider’s perspective. Miner observes the significance the Nacerima put...

Howell1 1 Lean Construction Institute, 4536 Fieldbrook Road, Oakland, CA 94619, USA 2 University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, USA E-mail: gballard@leanconstruction.org Projects are temporary production systems. When those systems are structured to deliver the product while maximizing value and minimizing waste, they are said to be ‘lean’ projects. Lean project management differs from traditional project management not only in the goals it pursues, but also in the structure of its phases, the relationship between phases and the participants in each phase. This paper presents a model of lean project management and contrasts lean and traditional approaches. Four tools or interventions are presented as illustrations of lean concepts in action. Keywords: construction management, Lean Project Delivery System (LPDS), lean project management, project management, value, waste Les projets sont des systemes de production temporaires.

...------------------------------------------------- Vizconde massacre From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Vizconde murder case, colloquially known as the Vizconde massacre, was the multiple homicide of members of the Vizconde family on 30 June 1991 at their residence in BF Homes,Parañaque City, Metro Manila, Philippines.[1] Estrellita, 49, had suffered thirteen stab wounds; Carmela, 19, had suffered seventeen stab wounds and had been raped before she was killed; and Jennifer, 6, had nineteen stab wounds.[1] Lauro Vizconde, Estrellita's husband, and the father of Carmela and Jennifer, was in the United States on business when the murders took place. The lead suspect was Hubert Webb, whose father Freddie Webb was famous as an actor, former basketball player, and former Congressman and Senator. The other defendants were Antonio Lejano II, Hospicio Fernandez, Michael Gatchalian, Miguel Rodriguez, Peter Estrada, Joey Filart and Artemio Ventura.[2] In the Trial Court (People of the Philippines vs. Hubert Webb, et al., G.R. No. 176864), it became one of the most sensational cases in the Philippines, becoming the "trial of the century". The men were convicted by the Parañaque Regional Trial Court which the Court of Appeals affirmed. Except for Filart and Ventura who had been convicted in absentia, the men were later acquitted by the Supreme Court on 14 December 2010 for failure of the prosecution to prove their guilt beyond reasonable ------------------------------------------------- ...

Sponsored by an educational grant from AVENTIS Pharma Alison Hill BSC FFPHM FRCP Director, and Claire Spittlehouse BSc Business Manager, Critical Appraisal Skills Programme, Institute of Health Sciences, Oxford q Critical appraisal is the process of systematically examining research evidence to assess its validity, results and relevance before using it to inform a decision. q Critical appraisal is an essential part of evidence-based clinical practice that includes the process of systematically finding, appraising and acting on evidence of effectiveness. q Critical appraisal allows us to make sense of research evidence and thus begins to close the gap between research and practice. q Randomised controlled trials can minimise bias and use the most appropriate design for studying the effectiveness of a specific intervention or treatment. q Systematic reviews are particularly useful because they usually contain an explicit statement of the objectives, materials and methods, and should be conducted according to explicit and reproducible methodology. q Randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews are not automatically of good quality and should be appraised critically. www.evidence-based-medicine.co.uk Prescribing information is on page 8 1 What is critical appraisal What is critical appraisal?
