...| TCE 216 | | | Research Paper | | There are many different educational philosophies around the world that are much different than the ones American students receive. Education is often times highly related to the country’s politics, personal values, religious belief and social issues so it is more than just teaching young people in a right way. I came from South Korea which is not far from Japan. Since the Japanese education is renowned as one of the better educational system in the world, some part of education system in South Korea was benchmarked from Japanese. However, South Korea has risen as top educational country and I believe that this was only possible because of the influence that our politics and social values that we hold. According to the report in the New York Times, South Korea led in the international rankings in math and fourth-grade science while the United States was ranked in 11th and 9th respectively. Also 47% of eight graders reached the advanced math level while only 7% of American eight graders reached the advanced level. I believe that the lag between the countries come from how education is perceived by people in different countries. In Korea, kids are pushed to pick up foreign language and a music instrument at a very young age. There are many private kindergartens that offer extensive education that ranges from foreign languages, advanced math and science class which costs thousands of dollars per year. When they go into elementary school...

...Country Paper By Irwin Anderson BMGT 392 Professor Joseph Wade September 12, 2011 This country analysis is for the beginning of a new business venture in South Korea. The business is an English private school/ tutoring center that focuses mainly on learning the language of English. The nature of this business is to bring new alternatives to learning English in South Korea. The organizational structure of this business will be mostly staffed with qualified English teachers. The overall mission statement of this business is to bring the best possible level of English language education to South Korea. This analysis will bring about the relevance of different country variables to this new business opportunity. The country variables consist of cultural environment, political and legal environment, economic environment, ethical environment, trade, investment, and foreign policy profile. Cultural Environment The cultural environment is one of the first things to consider when opening up a business in another country. Daniels mentions, “Most cultural variables are universal. Every society, for example, has its own daily routines and rules, codes or social relations, language, and the show of emotions—even concepts of luck” (Daniel, 2011). Therefore, some sort of study of the culture should be done. The Journal of Management & Marketing Research states, “Since the entry mode is crucial for the success of a new business in the overseas...

...Running head: MENTORING Mentoring in Organizations Eula M. Todd Troy University MGt6671-XTIB Dr. Rod Blackwell September 26, 2011 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to provide readers with a greater understanding of the mentoring process and the different types of mentoring available to organizations. This project also seeks to enlighten readers on the advantages of mentoring relationships for organizations, mentors, and mentees alike. Mentoring in Organizations Mentoring and coaching are words that may be used interchangeably in regards to employee development. Mentoring is a process that typically involves a one-on-one relationship between two members of an organization’s workforce. Mentoring programs are believed to be extremely beneficial for organizations. In fact, “much of the excitement over mentoring in business and industry originated from a 1979 article in the Harvard Business Review, which claimed that professionals who had mentors reported higher levels of satisfaction, earned more money at a younger age and were better educated (Gibson, 2004, p. 263).” Research conducted from about 1989 to 2004 indicated that improved job approval and greater salary levels, better rates of advancement, improved levels of organizational obligation and socialization, and reduced feelings of alienation in the workplace are indeed benefits associated with mentoring programs. (Gibson, 2004) Just as the benefits of mentoring programs are numerous, so also are...

...state and federal governments provide the policy direction. One method to assess education performance and compliance with the centralized policy is the use of accountability measures - i.e., standardized tests. The NCLB, coupled with state policy, is intended to decrease inequality and set an objective measurement in place where school districts, schools, teachers, and even students can be held accountable for their progress or lack thereof. However, there are arguments from opponents of standardized testing claiming that test-driven curricula are harmful to the needs of a democratic society, and that testing discriminates against minorities by widening the education achievement gap (Hursh 612). It is the intention of this research paper to investigate this claim and the claims of proponents of standardized testing by analyzing what role standardized testing should...
