Within my role as an Export Shipping Team Leader I primarily cover the Export Department, but from time to time also cover the European Sales Department, as aspects of the job overlap. Recently we identified that we required a new member of Staff in the European Sales Department and I was included in the recruitment and selection process. First and foremost after having a formal meeting with my line manager we realised that due to the growth in revenue of 1.5 million GBP, there was extra pressure on both the Export and Sales teams. We concluded that we required a new member within European Sales that would also handle some duties that my team in Export are currently handling. We identified the duties as well as salary of European Sales staff and agreed that with taking work from both my team in Export and also work...

...in variety of areas. These learning may have been certified (by an academic or educational body) whilst others are not certified learning through work, social and leisure time activities. Recognising Prior Learning (RPL) is the process at which it recognises previous learning that has taken place in a formal or non-formal setting. Prior learning and work related experiences helps in identifying an individual’s strengths and weaknesses in self-development. Self development entails activities that improve awareness and identity, develop potentials and talents, build human capital that facilitate employability, enhancing quality of life to contribute in the realisation of goals and aspirations. As a student of Leadership and Management Level 5, I am gaining new knowledge that I will apply in my workplace. The advantage of prior learning is it validates the value of my learning and this will enable me to progress unto my profession or further my study to a higher level of management course. For the formal context this could mean through education, whilst for the non-formal may mean in the workplace and through life’s experiences. The process reviews learning which may have been acquired or mastered through various life experiences that includes professional responsibilities, civic or volunteer experiences, military training and...

Simon School of Business Administration, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York 14627, misra@simon.rochester.edu Paul B. Ellickson Sanjog Misra M ost supermarket firms choose to position themselves by offering either everyday low prices (EDLP) across several items or offering temporary price reductions (promotions) on a limited range of items. While this choice has been addressed from a theoretical perspective in both the marketing and economic literature, relatively little is known about how these decisions are made in practice, especially within a competitive environment. This paper exploits a unique store level data set consisting of every supermarket operating in the United States in 1998. For each of these stores, we observe the pricing strategy the firm has chosen to follow, as reported by the firm itself. Using a system of simultaneous discrete choice models, we estimate each store’s choice of pricing strategy as a static discrete game of incomplete information. In contrast to the predictions of the theoretical literature, we find strong evidence that firms cluster by strategy by choosing actions that agree with those of its rivals. We also find a significant impact of...

Budhwar, Arup Varma INTRODUCTION Over the last decade or so, India has emerged as a major player on the global economic front. To a great extent, India’s enhanced global economic importance is due to the economic reforms that were initiated in 1991. The reforms have been instrumental in creating tremendous opportunities for businesses, in particular for foreign operators. Bodies like the World Bank predict that if India can sustain its economic growth over the next decade, then it is likely to become one of the leading economies of the world. Needless to say, there are many issues that still need urgent attention — among these, development of infrastructure, control over corruption and bureaucratic red tape, opening-up of key sectors for foreign investments, political and legal reforms, enhancing employable skills in new graduates, control over increasing poverty, internal and external security, and divestments in the public sector, etc. In addition, issues related to the management of human resources have become crucial for India’s sustained economic growth. The liberalization of economic policies calls for a switch from labor intensive to more capital-intensive methods of production, and thus requires organizations...

...University of California, Berkeley {jmk, randy, pister}@eecs.berkeley.edu Abstract Large-scale networks of wireless sensors are becoming an active topic of research. Advances in hardware technology and engineering design have led to dramatic reductions in size, power consumption and cost for digital circuitry, wireless communications and Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). This has enabled very compact, autonomous and mobile nodes, each containing one or more sensors, computation and communication capabilities, and a power supply. The missing ingredient is the networking and applications layers needed to harness this revolutionary capability into a complete system. We review the key elements of the emergent technology of “Smart Dust” and outline the research challenges they present to the mobile networking and systems community, which must provide coherent connectivity to large numbers of mobile network nodes co-located within a small volume. “Smart Dust.” It is certainly within the realm of possibility that future prototypes of Smart Dust could be small enough to remain suspended in air, buoyed by air currents, sensing and communicating for hours or days on end. At least one popular science fiction book has articulated just such a vision [12]. In this paper, we are concerned with the networking and applications challenges presented by this radical new technology. These kinds of networking nodes must consume extremely low power, communicate at bit rates measured in kilobits per...
