...account manager workshop. Some management issues have been exposed regarding not only the relationship between Schneider and Calchem but also the effectiveness of Schneider’s communication network and the cooperation from its subsidiaries. This report aims to analyse the challenges Schneider is facing in depth with the focus on cultural differences to figure out the solutions for this company to promote system of global account management, to gain support from local subsidies and to build the reliable long term relationship with new clients. The report identifies the challenges Schneider is facing at current. Firstly, the internal communication channel across organizations, relationships between subsidiaries and head quarters (HQ) and customer relations is considered as the core issues. Due to the matrix structure and the larger number of cultures involved in the net work communication, effective information feeding and sharing is difficult to be achieved. Secondly, different cultural orientations of different subsidiaries have made the goal of GAM hard to be gained. This is presented by the resistance to develop GAM in some subsidiaries and the reluctance to attend workshop. Furthermore, different cultural orientations of the clients raise different interpretation of Schneider Electric’s actions bringing misassumption about control power in the strategic alliances between Schneider and Calchem as well as challenges in convincing this account to attend the workshop. Some recommendations...

...Me and my job as shipfitter My name is Lasse Mosebo I am 19 years old. I live in vindeby and have done so my whole life. I live together with my mum Gitte, my dad Bjarne and my little brother Mathias. But I just got my own apartment in Svendborg and I’m planning to move in next month. Almost every member from my father side of the family have been working with ships, My dad also works with ships and so did almost every member from his side of the family have been working with ships as well. When I was a kid he used to take me along to work and I found it very interesting. So like my dad working with ships and its engines has always been what i wanted to do for a living. Also I feel like it’s a tradition I have to carry out, since my little brother don’t like to get his hands dirty like I do. While he sits on the computer in his spare time I like to spend my spare time working on my boat and its engine. Whenever my friends have trouble with their car or scooter its me they call for help because they don’t know what to do and they know i always want to help them out. I’ve always knew what I wanted to do for a living but after 9th grade I took a 10th grade, not because I needed it but because I could take my education as shipfitter while I took my 10th grade. So it was a win win situation. Then one of my teachers found a internship at Svendborg Motorværksted for me. I was going to be working there for 2 weeks. When my internship was over the boss of Svendborg Motorværksted...

...help the student services department to understand workshops and seminars suitable for art students. To achieve this purpose, this survey was done by collecting data from 22 art students in art school. Data collection was by the use of a survey questionnaire containing two questions. The first question sought to rate how students were interested in undertaking different workshops. The last question was open ended seeking to understand other workshops that students would like to attend. To avoid getting blank responses, each participant was asked the questions and the researcher wrote the response on their behalf. The results indicated that 17 students were interested in attending the creativity workshop. However, most participants were not interested in the “wordpress” workshop. For the second question only nine participants identified other workshops in which they wish to attend. A Survey was done in an Art School to find out which Workshops and Seminars would be helpful for Art Students Introduction/Problem Statement Educational institutions recognize the need of students’ involvement in decision making. This attribute is seen as vital because it helps students select what they think would benefit them and help improve on their educational outcomes (Murphy 56). In particular, education institutions have been using seminars and workshops as tools to improve on the development of their students. In designing these workshops, evaluating learning needs are significant in determining...

...Brown Johnson, the creative director and vice president of “Sesame Street Workshop” said that kids are discriminating viewers. For him, if kids do not like the characters or understand the story, they simply just walk away or change channels. Which is why “Sesame Street” is a success even until this day. When the creators of “Sesame Street” thought about making a television for kids, they made their research based on the age and comprehension level of their target audience, cites The Creators Project. When the show began in 1969, “Sesame Street’s” main goal was education. They wanted to exhibit values that would make kids everywhere smarter, stronger and kinder - such is the motto of the show.

The writer does not being the story with an introduction rather the writer just starts the story in the middle of a scene. The major attraction in the first paragraph is the detailing of the scene. The writer uses very simple and easy language yet the writer is very detailed about what is happening. The writer does a very good job on making the reader imagine the scene.

...Vandita Manyam Professor Daniel Lao Engl 1A/ Section 05 12 April 2012 Fantasy and Reality Sesame Street (NET/PBS 1969-1992/1992-Present) has been one of the many reasons for equality and assisted to educate children from a young age. However, today Sesame Street has inspired many other children worldwide. The groundbreaking friendly show increased recognition of the diverse population by including various individuals to be a part of one team, known as Sesame Street. The program uses a combination of fantasy and reality by using monsters and puppets to stimulate real life situations and to create an educational program that educates preschoolers. Michael Davis’ Street Gang illustrates not only the ways in which Sesame Street was conceived of as a learning tool for urban American kids, but how it grew to influence global audiences. In 1969, Sesame Street initially aired on National Education Television (NET), which ultimately increased the respect and recognition of minorities in America. Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett the creators of Sesame Street mentioned their central focus was to create a children's television show that would “master the addictive qualities of television and do something good with them” (Davis 157). When depicting a scene from any television series, a deeper message is hidden beneath the surface of the screen. Although there are not many controversies in the show, the guests that come on the show to help creatively engage the children are selectively...

...first to include a curriculum "detailed or stated in terms of measurable outcomes".[1] Initial responses to the show included adulatory reviews, some controversy and high ratings. By its 40th anniversary in 2009, Sesame Street was broadcast in over 120 countries, and 20 independent international versions had been produced.[2] The show was conceived in 1966 during discussions between television producer Joan Ganz Cooney and Carnegie Corporation vice president Lloyd Morrisett. Their goal was to create a children's television show that would "master the addictive qualities of television and do something good with them",[3] such as helping young children prepare for school. After two years of research, the newly formed Children's Television Workshop (CTW) received a combined grant of $8 million from the Carnegie Corporation, the Ford Foundation and the U.S. federal government to create and produce a new children's television show. By the show's tenth anniversary in 1979, nine million American children under the age of six were watching Sesame Street daily, and several studies showed it was having a positive educational impact. The cast and crew expanded during this time, including the hiring of women in the crew and additional minorities in the cast. In 1981, the federal government withdrew its funding, so the CTW turned to other...

...Sample Survey on Status of Women Entrepreneurs In Bangladesh 1. Background of the Survey 1.1 Women in Bangladesh Bangladesh is a resource-limited and overpopulated country where society is highly stratified, services and opportunities are determined by gender, class and location. However, women make nearly half of the population (Table -1), which means huge potential to be utilised for socio -economic development of the country.
