Ajaran sesat juga melakukan penyelewengan terutamanya dalam akidah dan syariah melalui berbagai pendekatan dan kaedah yang tersendiri. Pemimpin ajaran sesat juga sering mendakwa dirinya sebagai terlalu hebat untuk mendapat kepentingan peribadi. Kebiasaannya para pengikut juga akan menganggap pemimpin ajaran sesat itu amat hebat setelah menunjukkan beberapa perkara pelik yang bertentangan dengan kebiasaan dan adat [Abdulfatah Haron Ibrahim, 1993]. Pemimpin ajaran sesat juga akan mendakwa mereka telah sampai ke satu martabat yang tinggi sehingga mengetahui perkara-perkara ghaib, rahsia hakikat, makrifat dan rahsia-rahsia batin. Seringkali apa yang dilakukan pemimpin itu adalah bertentangan dengan Al-Quran dan Al-Sunnah. 1.2 Problem Statement Ajaran sesat diketahui membawa ajaran yang bertentangan dengan agama Islam kerana kepentingan dan faedah pemimpin, pelopor atau perintisnya.

...Chapter 6 Case Study #1 Nike Hiring Gets Off on the Right Foot pages 284 – 285. 1) What do you think are the prime advantages and disadvantages of Nike’s computer-based interviewing system? Advantages of computer assisted Interviewing system: a) Weeds out undesirable applications: In computer based interview system the applicants whom management thinks are eligible for the job according to qualification, work experience and achievement of an applicant in his/her career is called upon for the interview. This helps the company screen out un- important applicants and in turn save their time in interviewing only required applicants. b) Saves company’s administrative costs: Company during their interview season sees an increase in their administrative expenses which includes mainly the travel reimbursement that all candidates gets during their journey to interview location. Nike being one of the largest manufacturing & retail oriented company; it needs recruitment process almost the whole year. If they spend. Therefore company’s expenses would be very high and at the same time, may not be productive as out of huge number of candidates who have applied, only few would be matching the job profile. c) Time efficient: it saves time for both management involved in recruitment process & candidates who may have to undergo long interview process. Management can utilize that time for its productivity & handling its other important issues. d) No routing errors. If the system...

...Now forty-two years later his son is expanding the business and taking it international. Robert’s is very clear that he does not just hire anyone and that instead of laying off any employees or doing a mass and quick hiring they will work short weeks and cross-train all employees. This for him has worked for the forty years and with the company going international and out-sourcing, they will not have any jobs disappear. Review/ Analysis of the Case Professional Products’ sells product that they are very particular about and make sure that they give their customers nothing less than the best. With this, they also hold this same high standard when hiring their employees. They want long-term reliable employees and will not hire anything less. After being in business for forty-two years, they are going to go global and use possible out-sourcing for some jobs. This can cause current employees to fear for their jobs, however, Robert Kilbey will not let any of his current employees go and will cross-train them on other jobs so that they will still have employment.

...Tugas Personal ke-3 Minggu 6 Nike: Hiring Gets Off on the Right Foot (Book 1, page 253-254) Technology is changing how companies recruit and select in ways that couldn’t have been anticipated a few years ago. While automated hiring technologies are still in their infancy, recruiters envision a world in which they can reduce the hiring cycle time by 90 percent, anticipate what skills will be in demand before they can be articulated, and call up information about a potential hire on their computer screens. Interactive voice response technology (IV'R), which has been in use for a long time, is being used along with other database technologies to capture information about potential employees, giving the company more flexibility and speeding hiring decisions. Nike is one example of a company using computer-assisted interviewing. The company has used an Aspen Tree product to hire employees for Nike towns, retail stores that showcase Nike products. At a recently" opened store in Las Vegas, six thousand people responded to ads for workers needed to fill 250 positions. Nike used IVR technology to make the first cut. Applicants responded to eight questions over the telephone; 3,500 applicants were screened out because they weren't available when needed or didn't have retail experience. The rest had a computer-assisted interview at the store, followed by a personal interview. “We think it’s important to give a personal interview to anyone who comes to the store,” says Brian Rogers...

...any number of actions which a company might take that would be perceived as socially irresponsible, and more and more companies are finding that if this does occur and is found out, the company and its shareholders suffer. A controversy involving the Nike Corporation shows how a company can be affected by situations they may not be able to fully control. The athletic apparel industry in which Nike is involved is a major money maker in the United States, but the fact that none of the factories are located in North America has brought some heat to the company. “Nike controls more than 40 percent of the U.S. market for sports related goods, but doesn’t have a single sneaker factory in this country” (Miller, 1995). Nike continues to make millions of dollars yet exploits workers overseas by paying them very little, while requiring long hours without overtime pay in factories that are not up to American standard. “Nike subcontractors employ nearly 500,000 workers in plants in Indonesia, China and Vietnam” (Saporito, 1998). The exploitation of workers in Third World countries, where the majority of Nike’s labor is done sparks a controversial issue. People question why Nike continues these practices. According to “Just do it, Nike,” Nike seems especially fond of doing business in...

It would be worthwhile to say Zappos has a right time to enter into the Indian market scenario as though he cannot enjoy the “ first mover advantage” , however it can capitalize the unknown and expected potential from e-commerce trade in India. The USPs which are tried and tested at other part of the globe can be replicated in Indian scenario with a clinch of Indian localization. In the report, we have said that Zappos should opt for a “wholly owned subsidiary” with 50:50 debt equity ratios. Various models of revenue like Sales, affiliate, transaction, subscription and sales revenue have been suggested to increase the overall revenue base. The wide policies will be Free Shipping & returns (365 days) and creation of ZCLT (Zappos Customer Loyalty Team). Keeping in view the emerging retail trends worldwide where Nike is creating Nike Runner's Lounge for athletes, Rocky debuts the shoes for nursing professionals, Road Runner Sports’ delighting customers with the in-depth knowledge of their feet & running/walking patterns, Tom’s selling shoe on the basis of experimenting the Moral values of the potential customer, Zappos also need to change the strategy in the near future to woo its customers.

...Analysis (Hitting the Wall: Nike and International Labor Practices ) Business Ethics (MBA-513) Section: 02 Case Summary Nike is global footwear for athletes and non-athletes. It is still a highly successful athletic shoemaker today. Based in Beaverton, Oregon, Nike had been a corporate success story for more than three decades. It was a sneaker company, but one armed with an inimitable attitude, phenomenal growth, and the apparent ability to dictate fashion trends to some of the world’s most influential consumers. Selling a combination of basic footwear and street-smart athleticism, Nike pushed its revenues from a 1972 level of $62,000 to a startling $49 million in just ten years. Many researchers believe that Nike went in decline due to two reasons: Michael Jordan’s final retirement and the slowing economy. Another aspect of Nike that has brought a negative image upon them is the negative accusations of exploiting foreign child labor with lower wage. Poor labor conditions and low wages have been an issue for many years, and are still present in 2011.In the 1980s and 1990s, Nike had been plagued by a series of labor incidents and public relations nightmares: underage workers in Indonesian plants, allegations of coerced overtime in China, dangerous working conditions in Vietnam. For a while, the stories had been largely confined to labor circles and activist publications, until a young female worker had died in a Nike contracting factory in 1997...

...SEPTEMBER 6, 2002 DEBORA L. SPAR Hitting the Wall: Nike and International Labor Practices Moore: Twelve year olds working in [Indonesian] factories? That’s O.K. with you? Knight: They’re not 12-year-olds working in factories... the minimum age is 14. Moore: How about 14 then? Does that bother you? Knight: No. — Phil Knight, Nike CEO, talking to Director Michael Moore in a scene from documentary film The Big One, 1997. Nike is raising the minimum age of footwear factory workers to 18… Nike has zero tolerance for underage workers. 1 — Phil Knight, 1998 In 1997, Nguyen Thi Thu Phuong died while making sneakers. As she was trimming synthetic soles in a Nike contracting factory, a co-worker’s machine broke, spraying metal parts across the factory floor and into Phuong’s heart. The 23 year-old Vietnamese woman died instantly.2 Although it may have been the most dramatic, Phuong’s death was hardly the first misfortune to hit Nike’s far-flung manufacturing empire. Indeed, in the 1980s and 1990s, the corporation had been plagued by a series of labor incidents and public relations nightmares: underage workers in Indonesian plants, allegations of coerced overtime in China, dangerous working conditions in Vietnam. For a while, the stories had been largely confined to labor circles and activist publications. By the time of Phuong’s death, however, labor conditions at Nike had hit the mainstream. Stories of reported abuse at Nike plants had been carried in publications such as Time...

...since they were on sale or I just wanted to try something new. I also found that I chose more products that weren’t name brand. I think that I chose these because I was on a budget and I knew how much I wanted to spend when I was at the store. I found that the name brand products were always at least two to three dollars more than brands that weren’t name brand. I also found that some of the brands that aren’t name brand taste a lot better and you usually get more than you pay for out of the non name brand products. One of the products that I am really happy I tried was a new Keurig K-Cup coffee brand called “Cameron’s”. The box of 12 was very inexpensive only costing $4 compared to the Folgers Gourmet that I usually buy that costs around $8 with tax. So, I spent half and I feel I got better quality. I also really wanted to try this particular product because it was different than all of the other K-Cups. The K-Cup doesn’t filter through plastic like other K-Cups do; it has a coffee filter instead so that you get more of the coffee flavor rather than the plastic one that sometimes tastes watery. Another product that I chose over a product I usually buy that is name brand and found I really liked were pita chips. The name brand pita chips from Wal-Mart are usually about $4 a bag and there...

Sales of the brand lost fizz against the might of Coca-Cola and Pepsi.Photograph: EPA Sir Richard Branson has made a fortune from a string of business ventures that bear his signature brand, including Virgin Trains and Virgin Media. But Little Red joins a series of failures that have seen Branson fail to break into lucrative markets including soft drinks and alcohol. Virgin Cola Launched in 1994, Virgin Cola was initially available only on Virgin planes and in Virgin cinemas before Branson sought wider distribution. “It tasted better than Coke. For one wonderful year we had the dream of Virgin Cola being the brand on everyone’s lips.” Instead, Branson claimed, “swat teams and bagfuls of money” sent from Coke’s Atlanta headquarters gobbled up his drink, whose market share peaked at 0.5% in the three years it was on sale in the US. In 2012, the UK producer went bust and no one else...
