...CHINA BOOST FOR SENAI HI-TECH PARK Senai Hi-Tech Park, Malaysia's second high technology industrial park, got off to a promising start with investments of more than US$500 million (RM1.7 billion) from two companies in Johor. China-based EQ Solar Technology International Sdn Bhd plans to invest US$500 million to produce solar modules while leading industrial gases provider MOX-Linde Gases Sdn Bhd, through its initial outlay of RM60 million, plans to set up an industrial gases separation plant. Senai High Tech Park chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Ahmad Shukri Tajudin said this shows that the park is ready to compete as another preferred location for hightechnology manufacturing, research and innovation activities. Located within Iskandar Malaysia, the park has drawn interest from investors in the US, Europe and China. "Interest is in various sectors including semiconductor industry and solar," he said at a media briefing. International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed, witnessed the signing of the memorandum of understanding in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. "We're expecting a few more similar investments," Mustapa said, without disclosing details. Malaysia has so far attracted several global solar industry players like First Solar, Sunpower and Q-Cells. There are also several domestic investments in solar power projects in Selangor and Sabah. Mustapa hopes that the park will create more jobs, similar to what was achieved at the Kulim Hi-Tech Park in the north. The...

...The paper is mainly about the management of the high-tech companies in a successful way. The article is written as the result of a research that exceeds two decades which consists of surveys and interviews with several CEOs and executives from different high-tech industries and different-sized firms. In the article the authors define six key headings for a successful management of high-tech companies. After explaining all, they also put these topics in two groups which are paradoxical. The themes mentioned in the article which are “business focus”, “organizational cohesion” and “sense of integrity” represent the static and stable side of the paradox. On the other hand “adaptability”, “entrepreneurial culture” and “hands-on top management” are dynamic and changing side of the paradox. Six themes of the successful high-tech management that are mentioned in the article: Business Focus: To succeed as a technology firm, companies should focus their attention on production lines, R&D stage and business priorities. Instead of making effort for irrelevant and wide product portfolio, they should concentrate on well-known and well-done products, areas or trying to create new product lines or business opportunities which are related to these. For the technological leadership of the companies, R&D expenses also should be enduring in a few areas instead of being in many areas and discontinuous. Adaptability: A high technology company should be able to adapt and lead the rapid changes...

...The transition from a Socialist approach to a free market approach and the rise of a new high-tech sector are two remarkable shifts that have occurred in the last two decades in Israel. In the face of these changes, human resource (HR) practitioners are currently expected to assume new roles, adopt different work values, and apply appropriate strategies. HR managers in the low-tech industry still adhere to traditional values and strategies, including a reliance on trade unions and an emphasis on job security and the employees’ years of work experience and seniority as key criteria for promotion. In the emerging high-tech sector, HR managers have adopted new values and developed new strategies, including human resource management programs, employee empowerment, higher salaries and better benefits, while placing an emphasis on employees’ talents and qualifications.

...Thank you for allowing me to read your essay. I feel that I know you after reading it, in fact I felt that we had sat down over a coffee and had a chat. I felt throughout reading it that you were exploring your personal experiences and what you had learnt about yourself through the years. I enjoyed your anecdotes that give strength to your reasons on why you feel this area of your work is a strength. I enjoyed how you discussed your previous work career and all its perks and how this all lead from personal experience into a new career path for you. This showed how much passion really is important to you and something that should be valued in the care community. I would like to note that I did not feel that I knew your personal strength until half way through the essay. I felt that you needed to identify this in your introduction . Maybe add it to your first statement: Making my career switch recently…that I possess strengths such as my passion for my work. Not sure how you would like to word it, just that it is needed in the introduction. I feel you may also benefit from splitting your introduction around the area that you state : However, I never truly felt I had strength or ability in any of it. I feel that this could be your first paragraph, see how you feel I just think it will make it a stronger essay. It would need to be slightly re worded such as : Working in corporate management I never felt like I had any strengths (i would leave out abilities). I found...

...This article was first published on Salon, a website that has an audience favoring liberals more than conservatives. This article also has an audience of a younger generation that follows hit movies. Garett Reppenhagen served as a Cavalry Scout Sniper with the 1st Infantry Division in the US Army, and is also a veteran advocate and social justice organizer. Garett’s background has a lot of relevance to this topic. I would say he is credible towards this whole subject. He is qualified to make judgment and criticize the way this movie is trying to depict Iraq. Garett’s extrinsic ethos is that he has served in the military. He has made a profession of being a real life sniper so he knows most of the scenarios that go on in the movie. He could also describe what goes on as you enter a war zone and how each and every person reacts. Garett states, "But viewing the war only through his eyes gives us too narrow frame." I believe this quote shows he cares about the audience because he wants to share that the frame of Iraq is not narrow, in fact it is on the contrary. Iraq is full of hospitality, proud history, and old-soul wisdom. This quote also shows virtue and goodness because he does not make the mistake of thinking the Iraqi’s are savages, like the movie may portray. Practical wisdom is also shown in this quote because without it Garett would not know that Chris Kyle’s views are narrow, but instead they should be broad and more flexible. The tone of this particular article is straightforward...

...After reading the article, I remember the Carr's essay on Google. Both of essays are talking about the disadvantage of the technology. This article is totally talk about the disadvantages of having a conversation through technology instead of a face to face conservation. It is the same idea with the Carr's essay which talk about when people are reading more than they used to and they aren't reading to retain the information. Also when they read online, they tend to become 'mere decoders of information." For me,I am agree with the Marche's findings. In the article Marche says people who spend their time on devices and social network sights are finding themselves lacking in the ability to communicate in person. That's is right because although we might have has many friends on Facebook we might not really know them and just have them there for show. And when we talk about each other are you good or bad is just from the social media. This is a totally different feeling with face to face. Also the examples the Marche take in the essay is very correct and have a strong persuasion. So I say Facebook have a huge impact on people which is negative. Someone say if the social media made us so lonely, why it is still so popular among the people. As I say it's just because it is easy to use and it is easy for us to see the people far away. Whatever you are, we can connect with each other fast and...
