...Medical Equipment INC Q1) No, Grover thought that he has a good understanding for the culture because he was raised in Saudi Arabia, but the reality is he grew in an expatriate compound with limited contact with the Saudi people or the Saudi culture. He went to an Indian school and then went to take his college degree in the USA. His internships gave him the opportunity to work in France and the United States. The internships prepared him to work in the field but Saudi business concept is foreign to him. Grover did not understand the Saudi culture and missed some critical points while he was trying to get the deal. He knew that relationships are important in making business in Saudi Arabia which is completely true. The problem was he tried to build relations with the wrong persons the foreign cardiologist, the Egyptian biomedical engineer and the purchasing manager, but he could not reach the purchasing director. In a hierarchy community as Saudi Arabia the purchasing director is the most important one to build a relation with he is the one who can give Grover the deal. Grover spent his time building relation with people who can’t help him with the deal. It was obvious for me that Al Humaidi was avoiding meeting with Grover and when he finally met him after approximately one month it was a formal conversion. I lived in Saudi Arabia for 9 years and from my experience Saudi’s only have a say in Saudi Arabia. Foreigners or non Saudi Arabs working there have no say when it comes...

...Running head: VARK ANALYSIS VARK Analysis Christine Feisthamel Grand Canyon University Family Centered Health Promotion NRS429v Sue Fickle FNP-C MSN May 19, 2012 VARK Analysis The VSRK analysis is a modality predilection or the process that an individual uses to take in information and assimilate it into learning. Each person has preferences in the way that information is learned. Some may need to have visual materials, while others prefer written, auditory, or kinesthetic and of course there are a number that will be multimodal and will require a combination of learning styles (Baykan & Nacar, 2007). By reviewing the different learning styles, students can determine how they learn best. In the read-write profile, the individual would prefer reading the material from books and text. This type of learner is very much a list writer. The uses of textbooks, lecture notes and/or handouts are greatly incorporated into the read-write learning style (Dobson, 2010). This student finds dictionaries, glossaries, appendixes and definitions very helpful. The student will find that writing out words and reading class notes repeatedly or rewriting ideas and information into new words will help the pupil embrace the information. Any charts, grafts, or diagrams should be reformatted into statements or word. A review of the visual learning style indicates that this person likes pictures, posters and slides. They integrate notes into flow charts and grafts. The use of highlighters...

...“Advances in medicine and agriculture have saved vastly more lives than have been lost in all the wars in history.”- Carl Sagan Advances in medical technology have led to more lives being saved, than lives being lost in all the wars in history. If that statistic is out there including our soldiers, then think about for example, how many lives of soldiers we could save. Advances in medical technology don’t have to necessarily be held off to just citizens within our country’s boundaries, but also our citizens who are fighting and are wounded in combat across the globe. Doctors would not be needed to be flown across the world, instead, we could just send a machine that could do the work instead. Summed up, advances in technology will replace the need for actual doctors. Technology will replace 80% of what doctors do, being the majority of surgeries and advance operations. According to CNN Money and Vinod Khosla, “Much of what physicians do (checkups, testing, diagnosis, prescription, behavior-modification, etc.) can be done better by sensors, passive, and active data collection, and analytics.” Shortened up, machines will be able to do what doctors do, much more efficiently and quickly. They also said, “But, doctors aren’t supposed to just measure. They’re supposed to consume all that data, consider it in context of the latest medical findings and the patients history, and figure out if something is wrong.” Because of human error and the human limitations of memory, machines...

...peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing using systems like BitTorrent. Movies are similar to other public goods like bridges or roads. They cost a lot to create, but once they're around many people can enjoy them at low cost. Just as the government supports bridges by giving builders a concession to collect large tolls, even though your trip costs them a minimal amount, so it supports movie production by granting a copyright which enables the film maker and producer to collect from viewers. Downloading a copyright protected movie for free from the Internet is like making a detour around the toll booth. Even if you don't get a ticket, you've taken a free ride on someone else's investment. Our Sages viewed paying tolls as a prime example of the citizen's duty to obey the law, and emphasized the importance of avoiding even the appearance of evading this duty. And while it is true that if everybody downloads copyright protected movies for free from the internet, eventually the copyright may be impossible to defend, it's not ethical to join the mob storming the artist's rights. This is comparable to the case where everybody takes a shortcut through a private field until the shortcut is treaded into a path. It may be true that staying away doesn't help the owner once the path is already there, but we should be extra careful to avoid being among those who contribute to commandeering his land in this way....

...governments are grappling with ways to fulfill their obligation to provide medical services to the citizenry and maintain a healthy fiscal state. Approaching this problem from a prevention perspective has given rise to business opportunity. In the following, a one year marketing plan for SaskTel’s LifeStat service has been conducted to conclude that the firm first ought to target a niche market within the Province. That is, Saskatchewanians who suffer from diabetes. These citizens are often rurally located and without the correct level of caregiver monitoring, they may end up in emergency rooms with complications that are not only personally dangerous, but costly to the Province. The fast growing medical IT market, in which SaskTel wants to compete, has drawn the attention of telemedicine and technology giants. In order to survive, SaskTel must focus its resources on establishing itself firmly in the target market so the firm may compete in the long term. SaskTel should distribute its LifeStat system through Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drug, and Safeway pharmacies. It is vital that marketing dollars be spent wisely to not only make those with diabetes aware of the system, but also their doctors, nurses, friends, and family as well. With a goal of 6500 unit sales, SaskTel can maintain or slightly improve overall profit margins of 7.2% in the first year - even while expanding into a new technology field. Once established, SaskTel can continue to leverage partnerships with the...

...Analysis on Thai insurance industry ------------------------------------------------- History The very first actual insurance contract, signed in Genoa in 1347. Contracts were signed by individuals, either alone or in a group. They each wrote their name and the amount of risk they were willing to assume under the insurance proposal.

...Rotman – Problem Solving Challenge In an interview back in 2013 when asked about the future of education with respect to wearable technology Bill Gates said that wearables was cool but he did not see a connection with education. I would like to disagree with him and believe that wearable technology has massive potential and can change the way we learn both inside and outside the classroom. While we have just started exploring the concept and many of the developments being made in just the past 2 years, the wearable technology is is still in its infancy with many companies just testing the waters and seeing where it leads. Current use of Technology in the Classroom When the ipad was released in 2010 it was initially dismissed to be a luxury item with no exact purpose but just in a couple of years it has sold more than 240mn units till Jan 2015 and has found its way in many industries including education. There are many schools and universities using tablets to facilitate the learning process. There will be a similar growth in the wearable technology sector. It will majorly affect the media, entertainment and enterprise industries and in a few years find its way in the education sector.

...Vark Analysis Grand Canyon University Family Centered Health Promotion NRS-429V Professor November 16, 2014 Vark Analysis As a way to assist teachers and students, the VARK Learning style assessment was established by Neil Fleming in 1987. The VARK assessment describes four different types of sense modes, with an extra group of multimodal students (Khanal, Shah, & Koirala, 2014). VARK stands for visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic ways of learning. Those who learn by seeing things such as charts, portraits, or illustrations are referred to as the visual learners. Students who prefer to hear the information, and are able to understand it best by listening to lectures or having information read out loud to them are known as the aural learners. The read/write category students like to see words in writing, do great when they take notes and are able to read them back to themselves repeatedly. The kinesthetic learners perform great by experience and practice, they need to move around and work best with activities that are hands on and related to reality. The rest of the multimodal category is made up of students who have more than one sensory modality in combination (Khanal, Shah, & Koirala, 2014). The VARK tool gives students the information necessary for maximizing their learning needs. In this paper the author will be discussing personal learning styles, strategies for preferred learning style, and how the awareness influences teaching and learning. The...
