...INTRODUCTION Study strategies or study skills are approaches applied to learning. They are generally critical to success in school, considered essential for acquiring good grades, and useful for learning throughout one's life. The term “study skills” is used for general approaches to learning, skills for specific courses of study. There are many theoretical works on the subject, and a vast number of popular books and websites. Manuals for students have been published since the 1940s. There are arrays of study skills formed by our students inside and even in every university which may tackle the process of organizing and taking in new information, retaining information, or dealing with their everyday troubles in their academic lectures and handling the stresses of college life. These ones are made especially to improve any of the important elements in studying and learning –concentration, memory, place for studying and etc. Study Skills are discrete techniques that can be learned, usually in a short time, and applied to all or most fields of study. More broadly, any skill which boosts a person's ability to study and pass exams can be termed a study skill, and this could include time management and motivation. Study skills are not done just to excel academically, but also to discipline the students. What students should know is they cannot imitate their friend’s study skills when they actually have different ways of study. Human’s brain does not function in the same...

...The Porter’s generic strategies are defined by basic approaches to strategic planning that can be adopted by any firm in any market or business to improve its competitive performance edge. The three fundamental marketing strategies that are thought of as different, are not mutually exclusive are differentiation strategy, focus strategy, and low cost strategy (www.businessdictionary.com). The first approach is called cost leadership which is better known as no frills just best deals concept. This concept is often a consumer’s delight. Because as consumers’ we like receiving great services at lost cost. The second is differentiation which creates a uniquely desirable products and services. Third is focus which is offering a specialized service in a niche market. A good niche has five qualities to them and they are as follows. It will take you where you want to go. In other words, it conforms to your long-term vision. Usually someone else wants it namely, customers. It carefully planned. It’s one of a kind “the best one in town”, and it evolves, allowing you to develop different profit centers and still be able to retain the core business which commonly ensure long-lasting success (www.entrepreneur.com) and according to the daily news U.S airlines has always had a clear cut strategy that if you can’t be number one or set a serious presence, then why be there?

...CONTRIBUTION OF LEARNING STRATEGIES AND STUDY SKILLS TO THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF TEACHER EDUCATION STUDENTS Julius M. Raquel Francisco B. Galut Jr. Researchers Dr. Freddie Cabrera Research Teacher CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Learning strategies are the essential symbol of students “learning how to learn”, which is also an important factor affecting learning efficiency and quality. Learning strategies are used by students to help them understand information and solve problems. A learning strategy is a person's approach to learning and using information. Students who do not know or use good learning strategies often learn passively and ultimately fail in school. Like learning strategies, study skills are fundamental to academic competence. Effective study skills are associated with positive outcomes across multiple academic content areas and for diverse learners. Academic competence is associated with the knowledge and application of effective study skills and learning strategies. Capable students may experience difficulty in school especially college students, not because they lack ability, but because they lack good study skills and learning strategies. Although some students develop study skills independently, even normally achieving students may go through school...

...Study Strategies Outline I. II. Study Blueprint A. C.S. Lewis asserts that "Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. B. Outlining is a basic skeleton of the presented information. Outline note taking has always worked well for me to retain and reference details. Making sure that I have a quiet, comfortable, well lit area void of distractions allows me to focus on my desired studies. C. Without a clear and precise study plan consisting of time management skills, note taking strategies, and an effective reading plan, a student is guaranteed to fall behind and struggle to complete any given assignment. Strategies A. Pre-Reading 1. By reading over previous notes, skimming over the headings, subheadings, and emphasized text, and also looking over any activities and questions at the end of a chapter, allow me to gain an overview of the information to focus on. 2. Brainstorming over the pre-read text, noting any information pertaining to what you believe the chapter will detail will allow you to create a mind map to organize the information read. B. Concept Mapping 1. Concept mapping allows you to quickly visualize information grouped together using key points to compile a big picture view of the material. 2. For most cases, concept mapping is a great way to establish main points, and supporting details of the subject matter being evaluated. C. Taking Outline Notes 1. Outline notes have a concise structure...

Hillman mir Mo_", International Review © Gabler Verlag 2006 One of These Things is not Like the Others: What Contributes to Dissimilarity among MNE Subsidiaries' Political Strategy? Abstract • We study why multinational enterprise (MNE) subsidiaries adopt dissimilar politic'll strategies. and seek to advance the understanding of international political strategy from an MNE parent-subsidiary perspective. • Drawing on the MNE parent-subsidiary literature. we contend factors at the subsidiary. corporate. and host country levels contribute to subsidiary political strategy dissimilarity. We test our hypotheses with a sample of U.S. MNE subsidiaries within Western Europe. Key Results • The results demonstrate that dissimilarity in MNE subsidiary political strategy is attributed to a combination of subsidiary. corponlte. and host country factors. Authors William P.
