...necessary steps must be taken in order to improve the education system in the country, leading them to make and consider some changes to keep up with the other countries. First, there was that bold move of implementing the K to 12 program where basic education will last for 12 years instead of the traditional 10 years. And maybe also because of climate change, just recently, there were reports about Malacañang being open to studying proposals to change the school calendar. However, the Congress still has the final say on the matter. This means that the academic calendar would run from August to May or September to June instead of June to March. This was intended to avoid the suspension of class because of typhoons just like last year, about 25 typhoons, including the Nov. 9 super typhoon Yolanda hit the Philippines and also to copy the academic calendar of most countries in order to attract foreign students to study in the Philippines and assist the enrollment abroad of Filipino students and teachers. This will also allow Philippines a greater synchronization with the ASEAN, Northeast Asian and American and European universities since a lot of training programs and activities of summer institutes happen in June and July in which, in the proposed academic calendar, these months don’t have classes. At present, five universities named University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University, University of Sto. Tomas and Adamson University have already expressed...

...REV: APRIL 3, 2013 TSEDAL NEELEY Language and Globalization: "Englishnization" at Rakuten (A) Our goal is not becoming No. 1 in Japan but becoming the No. 1 Internet services company in the world. By 2050, Japanese GDP as a portion of global GDP will shrink from 12% in 2006 to 3%. As we consider the future potential growth of the Japanese market and our company, global implementation is not a nice-to-have but a must-do. — Hiroshi Mikitani, Chairman and CEO, Rakuten Group With less than a year to go before his self-imposed deadline of migrating to the exclusive use of English at Rakuten, Japan’s largest online retailer, CEO Hiroshi Mikitani (HBS ‘93) found himself seated outside Paris at the May 2011 e-G8 summit1. Seated alongside Internet, political, and business luminaries, Mikitani was among those shaping technology’s future agenda. But his future, his company’s future, was closing in on him. In a matter of days he would announce his acquisition of Ikeda in Brazil, marking another step in his company’s global ascent. And in a matter of months, he would evaluate its most critical stride toward becoming the world’s No. 1 Internet services company: the transition of his 7,100 Tokyo employees from their native Japanese to English, the global language of business. The future of his company lay in the success of his boldest step yet. Mikitani’s vision rested with his Japanese employees, who had fifteen months to respond to his controversial two-year English proficiency...

... under the dictatorship trade union rights were suppressed and wages and conditions of employment were tightly controlled. By early 1973 the minimum daily wage, fixed at around 10 baht since the early 1950s, remained unchanged while commodity prices had risen by 50%. Illegal strikes had already occurred throughout the period of dictatorship, but strikes increased rapidly due to general economic discontent. The first nine months of 1973, before the 14th October, saw a total of 40 strikes, and a one-month strike at the Thai Steel Company resulted in victory due to a high level of solidarity from other workers. Economic development also resulted in a massive expansion of student numbers and an increased intake of students from working-class backgrounds. The building of the Ramkamhaeng Open University in 1969 was a significant factor here. Student numbers in higher education increased from 15,000 in 1961 to 50,000 by 1972. The new generation of students, in the early 1970s, were influenced by the revolts and revolutions which occurred throughout the world in that period, May 1968 in Paris, being a prime example. Before that, in 1966 the radical journal, Social Science Review, was established by progressive intellectuals. Students started to attend volunteer development camps in the countryside...

...different physicians in varying capacities but lastly a group of cardiac surgeons here in Richmond. I always felt I could do more, be more than “just” a clerk/secretary/surgery scheduler. In 2004, my daughter’s father died suddenly in a car crash. We were no longer married but it was still devastating. So I began to think about what I could do to make myself more available for my daughter and find a job with a more flexible schedule. I knew many nurses and thought, “I can do that.” It was in the back of my mind and I didn’t know how important that decision would be. In June of the same year, my mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. At stage 4 and no surgical options available, she was given months to live. My world was changing rapidly. I quit my job to spend as much time as possible with her – she died just 3 months after receiving her diagnosis. In my frequent visits, I heard stories from both my mother and father of how wonderful the hospice nurses were and what good care they were taking of both of them. Accompanying them to doctor’s appointments, I saw firsthand how nurses were making a...

...French Revolution Key Figures Biographies | Eden Salmon | Xmas Holiday Homework | Robespierre Maximilien de Robespierre principal figures in the French Revolution. Born on the 6th May 1758 in Arras France he had a troubled childhood with his Mother dying when he was aged just 6 and his Dad leaving soon after that. He and his siblings were raised by their grandparents. Young Maximilien was educated in Paris, graduating from the Lycée Louis-le-Grand and earning a law degree in 1781. He became a lawyer in his home town and lived comfortably with a moderate income. Robespierre then took on a public role, calling for political change in the French monarchy. He became a great follower of social philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, intrigued by the idea of a virtuous man who stands alone accompanied only by his conscience. He was very influenced by the enlightenment and wanted equality and freedom by a means of intellectual debate and practical demonstration. He gained a reputation for defending the poorest of society and earned the nickname "the incorruptible" for his adherence to strict moral values. At age 30, Robespierre was elected to the Estates General of the French legislature. He became increasingly popular with the people for his attacks on the French monarchy and his advocacy for democratic reforms. He also opposed the death penalty and slavery. He was very much a liberal thinker and spread (with the enlightenment) liberal views across France, particularly the third...

...Diversity Audit Managing Global Diversity HR582 June 16th 2011 The organization that I have chosen is National Consumer Panel or NCP. I have been working for NCP for a year now and I decided to use them for this project for two reasons. One is because I currently work there and will have access to the information I need and two I feel that the company can be more diverse when it comes to upper management. I work as a Customer Service Representative for NCP in Syosset, New York. NCP gathers information from consumers (who we call panelist) and sells that information to businesses that are interested in consumer shopping interest. We gather this information by sending our panelist a barcode scanner which they use whenever they purchase an item, then once a week they transmit that information over to us. They also are sent surveys about the products they purchase and there likes and dislikes of various items. My first step will be to retrieve as much information about the company and their position on diversity. I should be able to get this information from the HR department and their intranet site. Although this company is nationwide I will narrow my research to the New York office. From there I plan on interviewing with personnel from HR and upper management, I feel that this will not be a problem because I do have a working relation with all these people. Once I have gathered all my information I will begin to determine what is the right course of action for this...

E-Commerce * “E-commerce is the sharing of business information, maintaining business relationships and conducting business transactions by means of telecommunications networks: includes not only the buying and selling of goods , but also the various processes within individual organizations which support that goal.” ~Zwass Elements of E-Commerce Three main elements or disciplines in the application of e-commerce: 1.

...organized around six themes in strategic management: the role of the general manager, the components of business strategy, corporate strategy development, divisional-level strategy development, managing strategic change, and the development of general managers. Our perspective in this course is that of the leader whose responsibility is the long-term health of the entire firm or a major division. The key tasks involved in general management include the detection of and adaptation to environmental change; the procurement and allocation of resources; the integration of activities across subparts of the organizations; and, at the most senior levels, the determination of purpose and the setting of corporate direction. General managers, from our perspective, are managers who are in the position to make strategic decisions for the firm. Note that such managers are not “generalists” in the sense that they need to know a little bit of everything, but not very much of anything. To be effective, general managers need to have in-depth understanding of the generic problems in all the relevant functional areas. Furthermore, they must be able to deal with problems and issues at the level of the total enterprise and its relationships with relevant...

...Southampton Solent University Faculty of Business, Sport and Enterprise Research and Enterprise Working Paper Series Working Paper Number IX June 2010 THE PERCEPTION OF THE VALUE OF HIGHER EDUCATION AMONGST TANKER OFFICERS Quentin.Cox@Solent.ac.uk 1 Abstract Current international maritime legislation requires professional qualifications to be attained, in order for seafarers to be employed as senior officers on merchant ships. There is no requirement for higher educational qualifications to be held by these staff. Nonetheless, it is apparent that many officer employees are conscious of the desirability of possessing recognised educational qualifications. Several have, entirely voluntarily, taken steps to advance their higher education simultaneously with their seagoing careers. This is not a new phenomenon but an opportunity has been taken to gauge current attitudes toward the matter. The paper has been composed as a result of empirical research from a random sample of seagoing officers, whom have attended the Specialised Tanker Training Programmes at Warsash Maritime Academy, since the autumn of 2009. A sample, consisting of 61 course participants, was asked if any had undertaken, or had considered undertaking, higher education study. Of these, 21 had indicated such a preference and were then presented with a series of ten open-ended questions. The results of this survey are presented in this paper and the rationale behind their answers discussed. The paper has also endeavoured...

Today, as we approach a second global recession, helping people learn how to grow firms as astutely as possible will play a role in speeding the beginning of a new recovery. When companies like Cisco and HP abandon major market segments, it is even more important to think critically about how to grow a firm’s products. Given the chaotic period that we are entering, I have made several significant changes to this course. First, I have done away with the individual midterm. The “next” recovery will be a group effort. So will your midterm. Second, I have assigned three books. These are some of the best books out there on how to think about innovation, competition and how to grow a business. They will become “let me read that again” go-to books that you will use long after you graduate from UT. To compensate for the heavy reading load, I have eliminated most of the background notes from the course. Third, we are going to take a critical look at what...

...uncertainty regarding the law surrounding termination of employment. We will examine the law pertaining to employment relationships by exploring the employment-at-will doctrine. We will show how the at-will doctrine has evolved since its inception; then we will discuss whether the United States is generally moving toward just-cause employment. History and Explanation of the At-will Employment Doctrine Horace Wood is attributed with the creation of the at-will doctrine in 1877 in a legal treatise called Master and Servant where he described at-will employment. Some scholars say the United States had no such doctrine in the common law before this time and the use of Wood’s treatise in case law allowed a large step to be taken away from the English idea of employment rights. One oft quoted, early decision describing and favoring the at-will doctrine is in a Tennessee case, Payne v. Western & Atlantic Railroad Co. in which the judge declares “All may dismiss their employees at will, be they many or few, for good cause, for no cause[,] or even for cause morally wrong, without being thereby guilty of legal wrong” (Standler, 2000). At-will employment in Wood’s sense combines two important concepts of employment: When an employee can leave or be terminated, and for what reason he can be terminated. Barring a contracted specification, there is little or no controversy about the time at which an employee can be dismissed. It is the...
