...The Maze Runner, follow an extremely similar chain of events in comparison to other stories of the same genre. The Maze Runner takes the prototype storytelling strategy of dystopian societies, and creates a feel similar to the recognized short story called “The Lottery”. The story begins with a teenage boy arriving at an open field surrounded by walls far too high to reach. This boy instantly found himself at the center of many other boys of the same age who seem to be completely used to people showing up there. While this may seem like a simple story, the detail added to The Maze Running that gives the unique feel is that everybody in the field were also somehow forced into this...

...The Maze Runner to me, had everything. It was unique, but it was also easy to guess what would happen next. Above all, the storyline was a lot like Divergent because they lived through the ending of the world. I think that the maze worked for the storyline. Not a lot of books have people living like guinea pigs trying to figure out a maze. On the other hand, when it was just boys until one girl showed up, that was kind of cheesy. It just so happens she’s the one to mess everything up. I would actually add more details to certain sections of the story such as when Thomas went through the changing. When you meet a person what do you see first? What they look like or what their personality is? The Maze Runner only truly focused...

... the readers of The Maze Runner don’t know much about the Maze. Who created it? Why was it built? How did someone even think of this idea? We are thrown into Thomas’s new world, without any idea what anything is like. We don’t have any “memories” of the world outside the Maze. In this introduction, I am going to introduce you to the reason behind the Maze, and those who created it. There was a time when the world was destroying itself, and resources were scarce. The sun also wasn’t helping, and by not helping, I mean it's the reason the world was suffering in the first place. Do you know why? It blew up. The sun blew up, causing a virus widely known as the Flare. Only the sun wasn’t the cause of the Flare; it was a man-made virus that was made to control the...

...The Art of Computer Game Design by Chris Crawford Preface to the Electronic Version: This text was originally composed by computer game designer Chris Crawford in 1982. When searching for literature on the nature of gaming and its relationship to narrative in 1997, Prof. Sue Peabody learned of The Art of Computer Game Design, which was then long out of print. Prof. Peabody requested Mr. Crawford's permission to publish an electronic version of the text on the World Wide Web so that it would be available to her students and to others interested in game design. Washington State University Vancouver generously made resources available to hire graphic artist Donna Loper to produce this electronic version. WSUV currently houses and maintains the site. Correspondence regarding this site should be addressed to Prof. Sue Peabody, Department of History, Washington State University Vancouver, peabody@vancouver.wsu.edu.

Firms across the world interact with other firms situated in different countries. This results in mutual growth of firms and states. Over the years FDI as a percentage of GDP of world has increased significantly. In 1980 the total stock of FDI equalled only 6.6 per cent of world gross domestic product, while in 2003 the share had increased to close to 23 per cent. This implies that the world economy is getting increasingly interconnected resulting into the flow of goods and capital into developing nations. India has seen tremendous growth in the FDI inflow over the past two decades. By 1997 India became the ninth largest recipient of such investment among the developing economies. Flow of capital and goods has impacted various macroeconomic variables of the economy. Export is one of the variables that gets affected due to the increase in FDI.It has seen...

...Healthy: A Growing Market The Subway chain is the most well-known of the quick service restaurant (QSR) sub industry. All five of Subway’s similar competitors combined do not come close to the 27,021 locations that Subway currently owns in the United States; Quiznos has 5,200 locations (Quiznos, 2015), Firehouse Subs owns 850 locations (Firehouse Subs, 2015), Jimmy Johns has approximately 2,000 locations (Jimmy John's, 2015), Jersey Mike’s has 1,300 locations (Jersey Mike's, 2015), and Charley's Grilled Subs has over 500 locations (Charley's, 2015). The Subway chain is indisputably the world’s largest submarine sandwich chain with over 43,000 locations around the world (SUBWAY, 2015) and a brand value of $6.6 billion (Forbes, 2014). In this paper we will discuss how the Subway brand came to be so successful, what marketing strategies were used properly in the process, and conclude with what marketing strategies should continue to be implemented and what marketing strategies should be improved in order for Subway to maintain its success in the QSR industry. Background Information The “How” In 1965, 17 year old Fred DeLuca needed a way to fund his tuition to become a medical doctor. With a $1,000 loan from soon-to-be business partner Dr. Peter Buck, Fred founded Pete’s Super Submarines, known today as Subway Restaurants. The first store was opened in Bridgeport, Connecticut in August, 1965 with the future goal of opening 32 stores in 10 years (SUBWAY, 2015). Their biggest concern...

...Advance praise “Our world is facing uncertainties never seen before. Designing winning strategies, as tough as it can be, is only part of the challenge facing senior management. The most difficult part is to continuously translate our strategy into superior performance at all levels of our organisations. That’s what this book is all about: tips and tricks to get things done” Gérard Mestrallet | CEO | GDF SUEZ “This book absolutely nails the three things every manager needs to know about strategy – execution, execution, execution!” Bill Saubert | Regional Business Leader Australia/New Zealand | MasterCard Advisors “Strategy Execution Heroes is a wonderfully written and well-organised book with a clear commonsense approach to strategy implementation. It is a must-read for any manager regardless of position or years of experience” Michael Benavente | Managing Director Watches | Gucci “Organisations have become very aware that much great strategy is lost before it’s turned into performance, mainly as a result of poor execution skills. This book is a significant step towards addressing that gap: it takes strategy to the manager level, providing practical everyday recipes to make sure that the ‘big picture’ does not remain a boardroom abstraction” Bruno Lanvin | Executive Director, eLab | INSEAD “Strategy Execution Heroes provides leaders with a practical strategy execution how-to guide which includes a brilliant summary of Jeroen’s personal experiences combined with an extensive collection...

...Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, admits that she often finds herself in the kitchen reading soup-can labels—or anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader, and 2. More than anything, you want to communicate those ideas to your reader. These reminders may seem obvious to you, but without a solid commitment to your own opinions as well as to your reader, your prose will be lifeless and boring. If you don’t care about your subject, you can’t very well expect anyone else to. Have confidence that your ideas are worthwhile and that your reader genuinely...
