...Castellanos Yanez , Linda Chapel Programs April 7 , 2014 Reflection This was my first year attending Azusa Pacific University. When I first attended last semester in the fall of 2013, I had a difficult time transitioning as APU isn’t always transfer friendly. As a transfer student, one leaves an institution and then is just getting used to another school. Academically APU has challenged me in ways I never imagined. The history department has been incredible with the level of difficulty. My only disappointment has been that APU does not or has not offered historiography in quite some time. At other educational institutions, history majors are required to take historiography in order to know and understand what type of history we would like to study. I understand that the department is small, but it would great to see a variety of courses. For example, Latin American history or even a course on women’s history in the United States. I look forward to the courses being offered next semester that will be taught by Dr. Mazza. When I was deciding on which university to attend, I was unsure of where to go. Ultimately, I chose APU because of its location, not its religious affiliation. Being at a Christian university has been a far more different experience than I could have ever imagined. Everyone on this campus is beyond friendly and has helped me grow in my faith in ways I never imagined. I rather enjoy attending chapel it’s a much more personal experience. I don’t enjoy going...

...Feasibility Analysis: Chilean Subsidiary Matthew Dommer Cornerstone University Introduction GMS Inc. is a privately held manufacturer of premium outdoor apparel based in the United States. At present, corporate headquarters and the company’s sole 80,000 square foot manufacturing facility are located in Charleston, South Carolina due to shipping port access and the state’s right-to-work status. Raw fabrics are purchased from international vendors and US suppliers and include nylon/natural weaves, Gortex, manufactured high efficiency liners, and down fillers. GMS products are sold through upscale retail outlets generally specializing in performance outdoor apparel used in alpine skiing. Annual sales are at 100,000 units per year with gross revenue of $20,000,000. Total current employees are 100. GMS has developed plans for a new line of outer apparel utilizing a liner made from an Alpaca premium long fiber weave with a Gortex laminate. Alpaca was chosen for its superiority to wool and other natural fibers. It has higher durability, softness, water repellency, and broader thermal properties than wool. It is flexible at very cold temperatures, has inherent stretch for mobility, retains thermal properties when wet, and is hypoallergenic. It is therefore better suited to this intended purpose than most manufactured fibers. As a renewable resource and biodegradable product, alpaca fiber is consistent with GMS environmental policies and offers the opportunity to...

To be successful at navigating these challenges leaders must develop the essential skills to motivate their employees, effectively communicate with others, fine-tune critical thinking skills, and build and leverage partnerships. Future leaders must also be visionary; i.e., possess the ability to identify trends and the courage to be innovative. Being technically adept in your field will no longer be enough. In response to these demands on senior executives, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management identified five Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) that all aspiring government leaders and executives must possess. These ECQs and Fundamental Competencies were developed by OPM after extensive research on the attributes of successful executives in both the private and public sector.
