...------------------------------------------------- Plot[ edit] Billy McMahon and Nick Campbell seek employment after being laid off from their positions as watch salesmen when their employer goes out of business. Billy then applies for an internship at Google for the two of them, and they are accepted due to their unorthodox interview answers, despite a lack of relevant experience. They are the only interns not of traditional collegiate age. They will spend the summer competing in teams against other interns, also known as "Nooglers", in a variety of tasks, and only the members of the winning team will be guaranteed jobs with Google. Billy and Nick are teamed with other interns seen as rejects: Stuart, who is usually engrossed in his smart phone; Yo-Yo, a Filipino-American who was homeschooled by a stereotypical overbearing Asian mother; and Neha, an Indian-American who is an enthusiast of nerd-related kink. The team is led by Lyle, who constantly tries to act hip in order to hide his insecurities. Another intern, Graham, bullies Billy and Nick's team. Mr. Chetty, the head of the internship program, also expresses his doubts about the older men's abilities. Stuart, Yo-Yo, and Neha see Billy and Nick as useless during a task focused on debugging and send them on a wild goose chase to find the fictional character, Professor X. But later, during a game of quidditch against Graham's team, Billy rallies his team to a comeback that unifies them as a team despite ultimately losing after...

... For fear of losing, sometimes we just shrink back. I want to share my two stories. In one story I didn’t act on my value and felt awful and in the other story I gave my voice to my value and felt proud. Several years ago, I got an internship opportunity to work in an advertising company, which is the biggest advertising agency in one of provinces in China. As soon as I started to work, our company obtained a project from film producer, a project that we can put 5 different companies’ advertisements in the film to raise as much money as possible for the movie from the advertisements. As a return, our company can get a commission as a percent of the advertisement income. Meanwhile our company needed to coordinate with the director for the advertisement forms in the film. A new team was set up direct at the project, and I was responsible for the paperwork and other trivial matters. Everything worked great, until a tobacco company joined. The tobacco company offered a lucrative deal that our company cannot refuse, because only with that deal, we can meet the project’s financial requirement and got a high return. However, a problem had arisen since Chinese government laws forbid any tobacco advertisement on mass media, not to mention that the movie was aimed at teen – agers. Everyone in our project team stuck in that problem, and I thought we could just give up the deal because it was not only illegal but also unethical. I didn’t take these words out of my month in that I held...

...PART (1) REVIEW OF THE MOVIE In this true story about a man named Christopher Gardner, Gardner has invested heavily in a device known as a "Bone Density scanner". He feels as if he has made these devices. However, they do not sell as they are marginally better than the current technology at a much higher price. As Gardner tries to figure out how to sell them, his wife leaves him; he loses his house, his bank account, and credit cards as well. Forced to live out in the streets with his son, Gardner is now desperate to find a steady job. Chris sees the chance to fight for a stockbroker internship position at Dean Witter, vying for one career in the end of six months training period without any salary with other twenty candidates and he sell his devices at the same time just to support the meals and needs of his son and himself in living. There are two main characters in this movie, Chris Gardner (Will Smith) and Christopher (Jaden Smith). Since Christopher is portrayed as a five year old boy, his character does not give any huge contribution towards the development of the movie. Whereas, Chris Gardner is depicted as a real portrait of American man who really believes in the myth of material success and it is reflected through his way of thinking, attitude, and his action along the movie. Almost all parts of this movie describe about Chris Gardner’s struggle in pursuing his real and true happiness. PART (2) CONCEPTS (1) MARS Model MARS Model theories of Individual Behavior...

...The Best of Many Worlds: Human Resources in the Singapore Business Environment A Regional Research Report Prepared By Salman Khan, Carly Rae Jepsen, Psy and Anita Mui S P Jain School of Global Management Global BBA Program, Singapore April 3, 2012 Executive Summary Human Relations: The department or support systems responsible for personnel sourcing and hiring, applicant tracking, skills development and tracking, benefits administration and compliance with associated government regulations. (Entrepreneur.com) The human resources (HR) role is becoming increasingly important in the business world. Human resources includes the combination of traditionally administrative personnel functions with performance management, employee relations, and resource planning. The field draws upon concepts developed in industrial/organizational psychology. In the past, HR personnel did a lot of administrative work. This is changing with the global shift to service-based industries. As the role evolved, HR practitioners wanted to become business partners and actually engage more in the organization’s core business. At present, we see the function of HR going beyond being that of just a business partner to being at the forefront and, in some instances, heading business initiatives (Jones, 2012). We became interested in the field of HR for several reasons. One, it offers an attractive area of employment for business students. Also, it requires a good mix of interpersonal...

...The Role of Leadership in Shaping Organizational Culture Paetha Michele Thompson Walden University The Role of Leadership in Shaping Organizational Culture Organizational culture is viewed as the “glue” that holds companies together or the foundation the company is built on. According to Schneider, Ehrhart, and Macey (2013) they stated, organizational culture may be defined as “the shared basic assumptions, values, and beliefs that characterize a setting and are taught to newcomers as the proper way to think and feel, communicated by the myths and stories people tell about how the organization came to be the way it is as it solved problems associated with external adaptation and internal integration” (p. 362). To further define, BusinessDictionary.com (2015) defined organizational culture as, “the values and behaviors that contribute to the unique social and psychological environment of an organization”. Leaders must have the ability to establish a culture in which the company is respected in society, and it is through the use of leadership the culture of the organization is passed to employees and the customers it serves. Diversity is another important factor of culture as having a diverse group allows for a variety of ideas to ensure innovation. Kapoor (2011) found it difficult to provide a clear definition of diversity, however she made clear the importance of remembering the cultural context of the organization and the society within which the organization exists to...

PURPOSE OF THE REPORT My purpose for this report is to find the best way of strategic marketing plan using E-marketing strategy to help Michelle’s Fancy Dress Costumes to help her achieve her goals for the shop. What is e-marketing? It is a marketing principles or tools via electronic media (Pc, software, database, and network) more accurate using the internet. E-marketing is the process of marketing a brand, enterprise, product or service using the internet. It includes direct response, indirect marketing and interactive marketing element and uses a broad range of technologies to help connect business to their customers (Sergeant and West, 2007).It should be a sub-set or marketing strategy as it is important with any strategy to identify goals and in addition target group, formulate massage/story, choose media tools and services. The main reason for this is to help and increase the speed of marketing for Michelle’s shop and to create a loop of dialogue and not mass “one too many” communication. Today’s marketing is about to communicate with what Chris Anderson calls “Generations Why” or what Friedman describes Generation Zeppies (Friedman 2006). Today customers will ask a lot of question regarding the service or product and with this e-marketing the Michelle’s Shop should be able to become a better listener to fulfill consumers’ needs and demand. 2.
