...1. INTRODUCTION Mind map has been defined as an expression of ''Radiant Thinking'' which is a natural function of the human mind (Tony and Barry Buzan 993). It is powerful graphic techniques which provides a universal key to unlocking the potential of the brain. The mind map can be applied to every aspect of life where improved learning and clearer thinking will enhance human performance. It has four essential characteristics. They are the subjects of attention crystallized in a central image, the mind themes of the subject radiate from the central image as branchers, and branches comprise the key word printed on associated line. Topics of lesser importance are also represented as branches attached to higher level branches and the branches from a connected nodal structure. Mind map then can be enhanced and enriched with colors, pictures, codes and dimension to add interest, beauty and individuality. These will in turn aid creativity, memory and specially the recall of information. Tony Buzan in his book mind maps for kids (2003) said that mind maps are the tool of choice to help us to get our memory tuned. Mind maps work so well because they work with two sections of our memory, which are the imagination and association. He said that mind mapping is a special form of note-taking and planning that work with your brain to make it easier for you to remember things. We must use colors and images to help get our imagination whirring and the way we draw them with words or images...

Konklúzió 9 Forrás: 11 1.Bevezetés A mai világban minden országnak különböző oktatási rendszerek léteznek. Van, amelyik hatékonyan és jól működik, van, amelyik kevésbé jól. Egy probléma viszont szinte minden oktatási rendszerben megtalálható. Ez a probléma pedig az, hogy az iskolákban tanulók egy dologgal nincsenek tisztában, mégpedig azzal, hogy hogyan kell hatékonyan tanulni, illetve gondolkodni. Véleményem szerint ez azért nem a tanulók, hanem az oktatási rendszer hibája, mert a mai pedagógia, nem használja azokat az igen hatékony módszereket, amelyek megkönnyítenék a tanulást. Az egyik ilyen módszer a Gondolat térképezés (Mind maping), amit a következő pár oldalon keresztül szeretnék tanulmányozni, kifejteni. Ez a módszer egy olyan gondolaton alapul, ami szerintem az egyik legfontosabb dolog ahhoz, hogy tanulni tudjunk, ez a gondolat pedig az, hogy „Nem ismerjük a saját agyunkat”. Hosszú évek kutatásai bebizonyították, hogy agyunknak csupán a töredékét használjuk. Ha agyunkat jobban megismernénk, akkor a tanulás és a gondolkodás is hatékonyabban menne. Fenti gondolataimat...

...MKTG 4120 Case Study – Positioning the ConneCtor 2011 Prepared by LI Danyang Sunny 1155002138 Question 1: Two dimensions were applied in this case since the third dimension did not capture significant variance compared with the sum of first two. (See Figure 1) The variance explained by the horizontal dimension (46.6%) was two times more than the vertical horizontal (20.8%), so the horizontal dimension was more than twice important in explaining customer perceptions than the vertical one. The horizontal axis associated mostly with attributes “Multimedia”, “Stylish” and “Monitor” while the vertical axis associated mostly with “Sturdiness”, “Light Weight” and “Connectivity”. (See Figure 2) From the perception map, Connector 10L performed the best in terms of Connectivity, Data Entry and Third Party Support. Moreover, it also had advantages on its weight. However, Connector 10L was not attractive enough to customers in terms of Multimedia Function, Stylish and Monitor Quality. It is noticed that there was a lack of other brands near Connector 10L’s position (Only Palm VII), which indicated a potential opportunity for new positioning – wireless access feature. (See Figure 2) Question 2: In the positioning map with Preference Vector, it could be found that Connector 10L is the 5th preferred brand chosen by participants, ranked after HP Jornada, Casio Cassuioeia, Compaq IPac and Palm VII. Overall preference for handheld devices increased with Memory, Software and...

...way by which the marketers creates impression in the customers mind. Positioning concepts More generally, there are three types of positioning concepts: 1. Functional positions o Solve problems o Provide benefits to customers o Get favorable perception by investors (stock profile) and lenders 2. Symbolic positions o Self-image enhancement o Ego identification o Belongingness and social meaningfulness o Affective fulfillment 3. Experiential positions o Provide sensory stimulation o Provide cognitive stimulation Perceptual mapping Perceptual mapping provides answers to these vital questions: • What is your market position relative to your competitors? • What are your strengths and weaknesses? • Where are there gaps in the market? • How do you measure up to the “ideal?” • What strategies will improve your competitive position so that you are both relevant to the market and differentiated from competitors? The process includes developing the attributes—either functional, emotional, or both. Survey respondents rate the client brand and competitive brands on each of the attributes, and attribute importance and ideal attribute ratings are obtained. These perceptions are used to create the maps, and analysis of gaps and ideal points is performed. An Example of Perceptual Mapping This hypothetical example of the beverage market illustrates one of the primary results of a perceptual mapping study—the map itself. For illustrative purposes, this example...

...The Petal Diagram I’ve always thought of my startups as the center of the universe. So I would begin by putting my company in the center of the slide. In this example the startup is creating a new category – a lifelong learning network for entrepreneurs. To indicate where their customers for this new market would come from, they drew the 5 adjacent market segments: corporate, higher education, startup ecosystem, institutions, and adult learning skills that they believed their future customers were in today. So to illustrate this they drew these adjacent markets as a cloud surrounding their company. (Unlike the traditional X/Y graph you can draw as many adjacent market segments as you’d like.) Steve Blank Your startup at the center Then they filled in the market spaces with the names of the companies that are representative players in each of the adjacent markets. Ads not by this site Steve Blank Fill in the segments Then they annotated the private companies with the amount of private capital they had raised. This lets potential investors understand that other investors were interested in the space and thought it was important enough to invest. (And plays on the “no VC wants to miss a hot space” mindset.) Steve Blank Show capital raised Finally, you could show the current and projected market sizes of the adjacent markets, which allows the startups to have a “how big can our new market be?” conversation with investors. (If you wanted to get fancy, you could scale...

...Network Troubleshooting Case Study Part 1: Troubleshooting a Connection Problem When dealing with a network connectivity issue it’s always best to start at the location closest to the source of the problem. In this case the problem seems to accessing anything remotely from the office computers. Since the office is using a cable modem as their connection to the outside world the troubleshooting should start there. First, check to see that the cable modem is powered up and then verify that the lights on the modem indicate that the modem is online with the provider via the “on-line” status. Moreover; the next step is to contact the service provider to assist with the connection to the outside line if my aforementioned statement is not verified. Assuming that the modem is working the next thing to check is whether the modem appears to be sending traffic by checking the send/receive lights. If that is OK then the next thing to check is the router. First, verify that the router is powered up and shows a connection to the cable modem. In order for the other computers to access the internet they must first access the router. It may be necessary to reboot the router but it should indicate an active internet connection as well as connection lights for each of the seven PCs that are connected. Finally the technician should check the Ethernet cable between the router and the modem as well as all the connections coming into the router to ensure they are...

...What impact would this have on your personal life or business communications? Answer: If wireless devices had no governance or set of rules to abide by, it would greatly impact everything we do day to day. Think of the hidden security that we have now with wireless. If that was gone it would be easier for someone to acquire your information, such as your social security number, your bank account information. What the Wi-Fi Alliance does is gives us piece of mind. How many people today know about the Wi-Fi Alliance? I believe, unfortunately, not enough people. Exercise 3.1.2- Question: Give another example of a model that is used to visualize something that is difficult to observe or perceive. How does the model make it easier to understand? Answer: My example is Mind Mapping. With Mind Mapping it’s very easy to collaborate all your ideas, thoughts, notes, and references all in one place. I think it would be easier to show someone what it is you’re talking about. And by adding all your information into the Mind Map, it’s very easy to explain to someone (like a Lab Partner) where you’re coming from and how you’re seeing the issue or problem at hand. Exercise 3.1.3- Question: Based on what you already know about networks, what are the different layers you think would be necessary for communication to be mapped to a model? Consider direct connections between host devices and connections that require other routing equipment, such as a hub, switch, or router....

...What is Strategy? – Michael E. Porter I. Operational effectiveness is not strategy So in the quest to beat competition managers focus on improving quality, speed and productivity all related to operational effectiveness. But in this way, they move further away from viable competitive positions which can only be achieved by an appropriate strategy. Positioning which was once the way to go about beating competition is now rejected, since its too static. Rivals can easily copy the market position and competitive advantage. However, that is not entirely true as hypercompetition is a self-inflicted wound. It is important to watch out for what your competitors are doing, but improving operational effectiveness alone is not enough, and that cannot be your only strategy. Operational effectiveness and strategy are both important for superior performance which is what a firm aims for. A company can beat rivals if it can stand out, establish a difference it can preserve. Basically a company can either provide greater value to customers or comparable value at low prices, or both. Delivering greater value means higher unit prices, greater efficiency means lower unit costs. Cost arises from performing activities and cost advantage comes from performing activities more efficiently than your competitors. This can be in the choice of the activity or how the activity is performed. So activities are what creates competitive advantage. Operational effectiveness means performing similar...

...One of the most important things to remember when teaching writing is that writing is a process. Very few native speakers will ever start writing at the top of the first page and continue straight through until they finish at bottom of the last one. The entire process has five steps, but the first step in the writing process is coming up with your thoughts and ideas, also known as prewriting. Prewriting helps students gather ideas and give them a bank of possibilities for their writing. This way, as students write they do not have to make decisions simultaneously about content and language. Help your students get a head start before they write with any of these six methods for prewriting. The bank of ideas they will generate will be an invaluable resource as they write. How To Generate Writing Ideas Brainstorming Brainstorming is an activity with which most people are familiar. The object in brainstorming is to compile as large a list as possible of potential examples for a given topic. This is a great activity to do in small groups or with the entire class. Brainstorming a list of ice cream flavors is an easy one to start with when introducing the concept. Naturally, one idea will spark another, so it is helpful to have students working together when brainstorming. Give your students permission to be as creative as they like. Anything goes with brainstorming. Challenge your students to come up with as many examples as they possibly can for whatever topic you give them. Free...
