...To: Investors From: Sobia Akhtar Subject: Organizing Business Date: 04/22/2015 Business Brief Introduction Starting a business, whether small or big, is not an easy task. The procedures followed to establish a business generally determine whether it is going to be successful or not. The process usually starts with an idea and ends with a very careful study of the information available to analyze whether the idea could be successful. A business idea comes from a number of resources such as hobbies, business experience or interests. It requires a number of years of training in a business operations to prepare oneself to become responsible for the ownership. Responsibility for decisions and opportunities, in order to manage people, is a critical part of that experience. Putting a business idea into action means searching the right time and right place to open the business. Easy access to the raw materials, transportation system and a proper timing are a few important factors in starting a business. Most of the successful businesses start when the demand for a particular product or the services is high. Business I would like to own and why?

Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers by selecting the Enter button Abstract (summary) TranslateAbstract Engaging children in active investigations of topics that have personal meaning for them can enhance a curriculum and a child's desire to learn. Projects are ways to help children answer their own questions and learn more about the world. Full Text * TranslateFull text * Headnote Enhance your curriculum by engaging children in active investigations of topics that have personal meaning for them. Projects are ways to help children answer their own questions and learn more about the world. A PROJECT IS an in-depth investigation of a topic worth learning more about. The study is undertaken by a small group of children within a class, by a whole class, or occasionally by an individual child. The key feature of a project is that it is a research effort focused on finding answers to questions about a topic posed by children, the teacher, or both. Rather than simply seeking right answers, the goal of a project is to learn more about a topic. The Place of Project Work The project approach should be seen as complementary to the more informal parts of the early childhood curriculum. Project work is not a separate subject; it provides contexts for applying specific skills learned in other parts of the curriculum. Nor is project work an "add on" to the basics; it is integral...

...BIN SAIF Research: The word research is composed of two syllables, re and search. “Re” is a prefix meaning again, a new or over again. “Search” is a verb meaning to examine closely and carefully, to test and try, or to probe. Together they form a noun describing a careful, systematic, patient study and investigation in some field of knowledge, undertaken to establish facts or principles. Research is basically based on primary and secondary sources. In primary source we collected original data via research "instruments" (surveys, interviews, questionnaires, "focus groups," etc.) to produce new knowledge on a particular topic. In addition to primary sources and original instruments another source is secondary data. The secondary sources are used to provide an overview of existing published knowledge on a topic and possible current debates about the topic. It also defines how the new knowledge described in a paper differs from what is already known. Definition: “The process of finding solutions to a problem after a thorough study and analysis” (Sekran, 2006) “Systematic inquiry that provides information to guide decision” (Cooper & Schindler, 2001) “Studious study of a subject that is intended to discover new facts or test new ideas, the activity of finding information about something that one is interested in or need to know about” Research is a process of collecting, analyzing and interpreting information to answer questions.
