...Government has also taken many measures of this kind but those are not enough. To multiply the effort, like many other countries, there are some organizations established and run by the parents and guardians of disabled people. Autism is a kind of disability usually identified in children at the age between 18 months to 3 years. The affected children suffer from mainly 3 difficulties. These are: Verbal or non verbal communication, Impaired social inter-action and limited activities/interest with rigidity in thinking and repetitive behaviour. These children may improve and live a close to normal life if appropriate intervention and proper training is imparted in time. Though we have many organizations in Bangladesh working with various fields of disability but there is hardly any quality institute developed exclusively for the autistic children. The problem further aggravated with the unavailability of any training centre to train trainers or teachers to work with autistic children. Similarly, there is no facility available for the training or motivation of parents or caregivers of autistic children. We neither have any centre for caring a child for the whole day nor do we have any residential training facility. The dream of rehabilitation is not yet even thought off. At this backdrop, we started the ‘Autistic Children Foundation of Bangladesh (ACFB)’. The foundation is purely a non profitable organization, established exclusively for the welfare of the autistic children. The main...

...there at a reasonable price or you just love your recently acquired Sony camera - it is too good to keep the knowledge of the experience to yourself. In the old days, you would have chatted up these brands with a few friends and family members, but these days technology allows you to spread the word about products and brands experiences to thousands of other consumers. In response, Marketers are now working to harness the new found communications power of their everyday customers by turning them into influential brand ambassadors. Companies like Sony, Microsoft and McDonald's are now developing a new breed of brand ambassador programs that organize and multiply consumer to consumer interactions about their brands. These programs employ everyday consumers who are passionate about their products to act as part PR agents and part sales reps. MS-61 3 http://gyansagar.co.in Marketers select their brand ambassadors very carefully, based on customers' devotion to a brand and the size of their social circles. Once selected, the ambassadors are trained with real brand knowledge to go along with their passion for the brand. The ambassadors then tap into friends, family groups and wider audience through personal conversations, blogs, and online social media. For the ambassadop, rewards include product samples, gifts, discounts and token cash payments. Perhaps most important to many brand enthusiasts, they get inside access to company's information about new...

...A Review of Maxwell’s Leadership Development “Leadership can be taught.” (Maxwell, 1993, p. viii) This is the continual theme expressed by John C. Maxwell throughout his books Developing the Leader Within You (1993) and Developing the Leaders Around You (1995). In his first book, Maxwell identifies leadership as a teachable and practicable skill, and outlines the various components of leadership to improve one’s own character and ability to lead others. His second book, focuses on reproducing the skills in others, not simply for others to possess them, but so they can be reproduced in successive generations. This reproduction allows a vision to be carried on, it creates a legacy. Maxwell’s evolution of leadership begins with a definition. Maxwell states that “leadership is influence.” (Maxwell 1993, p.1) In looking at leadership as influence we must consider who we influence. On May 30, 2000 Charles Barkley is noted for claiming that “I’m no role model.” Whether that claim was made out of humility, or to eschew responsibility for the behavior of young people, simply making the claim resulted in influencing many people for years. Maxwell suggests that the question “is not whether we will influence someone”, but rather “what kind of influencer you will be.” (Maxwell, 1993, p.4) We influence practically everyone we come in contact with because our actions are subject to interpretation and response. Maxwell tells us that “We never know who or how much we influence.”...

...Development Trend of E- commerce in Vietnam Vietnam's global economic integration will become profound and comprehensive at the joining of the WTO at the end of 2005 or in 2006 and will create a favourable environment for the development of e-commerce. In particular, both the National Assembly and Government are determined to establish an advantageous legal environment for e-commerce. E commerce became established in Vietnam between 2001 and 2005. The E-commerce Department under the Ministry of Trade estimates the next five years will see a strong development of e-commerce in Vietnam. According to the Deputy Trade Minister Le Danh Vinh, enterprises that have good partnerships with foreign partners will be pioneers in encouraging e-commerce in Vietnam. Besides, small and medium enterprises need Government support to acquire advanced applications of e-commerce effectively. Trade transactions B2B (Business to Business) will gradually gain advantage over others. Mr. Vinh said, although the chance of developing e-commerce in Vietnam is very optimistic, there are also many challenges such as the lack of human resources for e- commerce, an under developed ICT infrastructure and particularly the unformed legal environment and policies. In fact, most enterprises only hear of e-commerce but do not know about its benefits and the conditions for joining e- commerce. Indeed, the e- commerce concept is still strange to the majority of the public. Very few enterprise leaders and management...

...1. Organizational Design and Structure (Advantages and Disadvantages) Each person assumes a role within the organization, and the organizational structure determines the reporting relationship between the individuals. The organization's strategy determines the organizational structure that will work best for a business at a particular point in time. For example, a small business that hires only experienced personnel, who require limited supervision, will likely adopt a different organizational structure than will a business that hires a number of recent college graduates, who require extensive supervision. (McShane and Steen, p. 362). In this assignment I would like to offer to your attention an ABC Ltd. IT company, it’s organizational structure, job design and other segments of corporate system.

...Effectiveness of Corporate Social Responsible practices handled in the petroleum industry in Bangladesh: A case study of Shell By Delwar 2014 Dissertation submitted to Anglia Ruskin University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Masters Programme Abstract The research issue is that multinational organisations in the petroleum industry such as Shell and British Petroleum are being pressurised by their stakeholders to take responsibility for their business activities. In view of stakeholder pressure, companies have developed and implemented CSR policies and practices. However, the effectiveness of these CSR policies and practices is questionable as the effects of companies activities have negatively impacted the lives of their stakeholders and continue to do so (Amao, 2013). There is extensive research being carried out on understanding the effectiveness of multinationals CSR practices as there exists a wide gap between what companies are saying and what they are actually doing. Practising CSR makes companies responsible for looking after the needs of their stakeholders, makes companies take steps to protect the environment, improve people's livelihoods, motivates employees and increases organisations' effectiveness and efficiency. Multinational state they are practising CSR. Yet their activities have caused much harm to stakeholders. Shell's activities in Nigeria have caused severe health risk to families’ drinking water...
