...thought process, Korean Pop, or more commonly known as “K-pop”, doesn’t simply focus on the music itself but has become an influence and musical movement that has swept South Korea and other regions of the world since the early 1990’s and continues to dominate to current day. K-pop consists of dance, electronic, electropop, hip hop, and R&B music originating from Korea. Korean pop, or “K-pop”, has become a popular genre of music because it has become one of Korea’s largest exports, the unique structure of how entertainment companies produce they’re music including their training system, and not only does it influence music itself, but also fashion, culture, and television dramas. In 1992, dance and rap became very popular due to a group called Seo Tae-ji & Boys, which is believed to be the beginning of what we see as modern day K-pop. As the 2000s came about, social media and the Internet began to play a major role in K-pop since it became more accessible and began the driving shift on the exposure and popularity of the genre. Known as the “Korean wave” or more commonly known among Koreans, “The Hallyu Wave” (한류파), it has spread through a variety of different regions across the globe including the Pacific Rim, The Americas, Eurasia, and even North Africa. An important part to the Korean Wave, the genre of K-pop has had its humble beginnings which led it to gain a huge fan base not only based in Korea and Asia, but also including different parts of the world. As South Korea’s infrastructure...

...Information Systems, City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon, Hong Kong a r t i c l e Article history: i n f o a b s t r a c t With the rapid development of mobile technology and large usage rates of mobile phones, mobile instant message (MIM) services have been widely adopted in China. Although previous studies on the adoption of mobile services are quite extensive, few focus on customer satisfaction and loyalty to MIM in China. In this study, we examine the determinants of customer satisfaction and loyalty. The findings confirm that trust, perceived service quality, perceived customer value, including functional value and emotional value, contribute to generating customer satisfaction with MIM. The results also show that trust, customer satisfaction and switching cost directly enhance customer loyalty. Additionally, this study finds that age, gender, and usage time have moderating effects. Finally, implications for the marketing of MIM are discussed. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

...Planning and Measuring Performance MGT 521 Rita Marlow January 19, 2013 Wal-Mart was the company I used in my Organizational Planning assignment and I feel that this organization is successful in reaching their goals because they have good leaders who are capable of putting processes in place and determining which standards would be best to use in evaluating their company goals. There are many different ways of evaluating these standards to make sure that the company goals can be reached and it is important for leaders to make sure they are effective in measuring the company’s performance by utilizing the proper tools. Improvements in merchandise can be accomplished by setting standards such as requesting better quality from your suppliers. If the quality of the merchandise you are receiving is poor, you can either work with your current supplier to try and get a better quality product from them or change suppliers. A good friend of mine is a Purchasing Coordinator and his main functions in his position are to continually work with his suppliers in regards to cost, lead times, and quality of product. He has developed a good relationship with our suppliers which increase the company’s chance of getting a better price and better quality product. A tool that would be most effective in regards to determining which supplier offers the best quality would be benchmarking. Benchmarking would be very effective because it would give you an overview of various suppliers...

...BAB II LANDASAN TEORI II.1 Manajemen Laba II.1.1 Pengertian Manajemen Laba Salah satu ukuran kinerja perusahaan yang sering digunakan sebagai dasar pengambilan keputusan bisnis adalah laba yang dihasilkan perusahaan. Informasi laba sebagaimana dinyatakan dalam Statement of Financial Accounting Concept (SFAC) Nomor 2 merupakan unsur utama dalam laporan keuangan dan sangat penting bagi pihak-pihak yang menggunakannya karena memiliki nilai prediktif. Hal tersebut membuat pihak manajemen berusaha untuk melakukan manajemen laba agar kinerja perusahaan tampak baik oleh pihak eksternal. Manajemen laba (earning management) didefinisikan oleh beberapa peneliti akuntansi secara berbeda-beda sbb : 1. Widyaningdyah (2001 :92) membagi definisi manajemen laba menjadi dua yaitu: 14 15 a. Definisi sempit Earning management dalam hal ini hanya berkaitan dengan pemilihan metode akuntansi. Earning management dalam artian sempit ini didefinisikan sebagai perilaku manager untuk “bermain” dengan komponen discretionary accruals dalam penentuan besarnya laba. b. Definisi luas Earning management merupakan tindakan manajer untuk meningkatkan (mengurangi) laba yang dilaporkan saat ini atas unit dimana manager bertanggung jawab, tanpa mengakibatkan peningkatan (penurunan) profitabilitas ekonomis jangka panjang unit tersebut. 2.

THE IMPORTANCE OF STANDARDIZATION In consulting to various clients I've been watching some shortcomings, which are not related to software or hardware, but the lack of and standardization: Processes, Service Instructions, and Trainings. The consequences of this are usually the loss of efficiency, higher operating costs, and the difficulty in developing a corporate image more homogeneous, which could be observed by their customers as a factor that differentiates the company from their competitors. It is recommended that all people of all levels of the organization are trained to meet the organization's commitment to provide products according to the quality required by a changing market, where requirements and customer expectations are increasing continuously. However it will be effective only if your company already has their Processes, Service Instructions, and Trainings, standardized, documented and easily accessible to everyone. This, therefore, will be the beginning of a process of continuous improvement towards Total Quality, exceeding expectations of your customers....
