...who own a better understanding of foreign market, export potential and financing option. The risks include being laid by local distributors who pretend to be the professionals and they may do something harmful to your business but benefits themselves. To reduce the risks, first you need to contribute a close relationship with local distributors. Second, know whom you are dealing with, such as doing background checks on potential business partners and gathering as much information as you can. Third, don’t make assumptions because the wrong choice can cost your business valuable time and money. Finally, learn the local cultures. 2. I think it depends on the demands and quality of selling products. The reason of that Vellus’s original entry into exporting was both reactive and serendipitous is she could improve pet shampoo and understood what dog owners desire for. Therefore, its product is competitive, resulting to getting calls from people around the world for export business. To make small firms more proactive with regard to exporting, not only are the products of good quality and competitive, the owners need to be proactive. For example, they should be active to recommend their products to users in shows and exhibitions. 3. She has some advice for others who want to down the same road. First, build good relationships.

...employee orientation. • Using tuition assistance as an example of development, discuss the benefits of employee development. • List the steps in the training process and explain how a training needs analysis benefits the organization. I think that it all depends on the type of training needed and the people that will be involved. There may be a need for more "hands on training" and/or development depending on the subject matter. More companies are going to online training because of the convenience and also because it saves money. Not all people learn the same way. Conducting something face to face may be more beneficial for some versus online. Here is an instance when the company needs to have a good understanding of its people. While employee training and development are closely linked, they indeed are different in the scope of the results that are attained using each. Simply put training focuses more on increasing one’s understanding and competency as it relates to their selected job or organization while employee development seeks to increase the employee’s overall “skill set” both for now and in the future. The goal of employee development is to prepare employees for long term organizational needs. Employee orientation serves...

...with friends or family. Chipotle's Code of Conduct relies on Integrity, and Loyalty. Integrity seems to play a major part of the company. Integrity is a concept about being true and honest, even if it means that you have to do the right thing even if your actions showed that it wasn't right. Chipotle is all about adhering to good judgment and high ethical standards which is having trust in a company and having loyalty to the customers, even if the customers are rude and have wild tendencies. Loyalty will keep the customer satisfied and wanting to come back for more and more because they feel that they will not be disappointed in the quality of the type of food that they're getting or won't feel like they are being ripped off for their money. The customers always want to feel like that they are always going to experience great service whenever they step into an Chipotle establishment. Just like with all companies, Chipotle has an " Anti-Discrimination, Harassment and Sexual Harassment" policy that I think is important also because of what's going on in today's society with transgender roles being brought into the world. A company shouldn't discriminate on a person for what or he/she looks like or their ethnicity of origin. Everyone is different and have special talents in their own way and should be able to utilize their talents without negative consequences or feedback coming their way. The compliance with the "Chipotle Confidential", states that "Chipotle will do it's...

...The secret to becoming a great salesperson is the ability to put yourself in the customer’s shoes and give them the type of service that you would like to receive. Understanding how people form their perceptions can be a major factor in closing out a sale for Joe’s employees at Great Northern American. Once a sales professional interprets how customers perceive them, they can apply their expertise and use information they obtain to help them sell the products that customers want and need. An example would be one of Joe’s employees encountering a first time customer and noticing that the customer is very upbeat and loves to engage in small talk. Customers that love small talk would probably want the salesperson to explain more in depth about the product and provide more information about the product more so than a customer just calling in placing a bulk order. Forming good rapport and understanding your customer’s perceptions of you will make a salesperson very effective and sales will increase over time. This is considered impression management. Impression management has to be used by Joe’s employees when speaking with customers and suppliers. With Joe’s company the most important form of impression management would be self-promotion, which is the employee presenting themselves in a positive light (Hellriegel and Slocum. 2011. Pp.119). After the self-promotion takes place then certain steps have to be taken to close out the deal. Helping the customer perceive the...

...Analysis of The Language of Money The opening story of the essay, “The Language of Money” by John Lanchester is about the ancient Egyptian priesthood whose members predicted the extent of the flooding by the River Nile. The priests were the most powerful people in the land and would measure each year’s flood in secret chambers to develop techniques to predict the agricultural season that followed. Until the 19th century, other people were forbidden to access these rooms and measurements. The analogy linked to this opening is that people in the financial markets set out to confuse the rest of us and closely protect their understanding just like the priest protected their status. Lanchester suggests that in the world of finance, their own set of priests exists with their own rituals meant to intimidate and deceive those who are not given access to understand. The main argument of the article is that words in the financial world are twisted to mean what the financiers want therefore confusing everyone else. He calls this “reversification,” a process that twists words to the opposite of their true meaning. He applies reversification to clarify words that might cost you a lot of money. For example, a bailout is not about throwing water out of a ship but about putting money into something while hedge fund has nothing to do with a thing that marks out the edges of a field, or with the idea of hedging bets but instead is a pool of largely unregulated money used to take highly-leveraged...

...the daily life, as an adult and even as a young individual. Every one of us has to make financial decision to spend money for vital needs such as food, clothes, home and more. The question is whether to start with financial education as part of school program or to postpone it for a later stage in life. For me, I support this idea that financial education for teenagers is necessary. In many countries the discussion about financial education are getting more serious due to financial problems of young generation. Some people believed that financial education should be considered a mandatory subject at school. The common problem for those young people is that they don’t know how to spend money in right way. As we can see many advertisements often carry out the message, “Only 10 dollars a week, no deposits” which is misleading those young one think that living in debt is normal. Financial education is one of the solutions for this problem we mention above. The basic idea of financial education as a core school subject is to teach those young ones to understand the concept of using money and to estimate a risk of borrowing money to buy something in the future. For me, I support this idea that financial education for teenagers is necessary. The general factors that make financial education should be introduced as compulsory subject are children acquire an understanding economic, financial concepts with age, to be a tool to improve low levels of youth financial literacy and instill wise...

...and it could talk about the high crime rate or bad economy. By reading an article like this, one would be more cautious in their money habits and how late they stay out during the week. Someone such as myself finds this type of reading helpful for me to survive in my everyday life. By reading an article or even a poem, an event or character can change how I view the world in an instant. I think that without reading you’re not open to other’s ideas or opinions and you may not tend to think outside of the box. The more I read I develop an understanding for literature itself and how it is involved in our everyday life. This can be from how we spend our money to what is the truth behind politics. It seems by reading you get to find things that you never knew before and it helps me explore subjects or understand concepts I never probably would have learned. If reading was not important in our society as a whole no one would get smarter and everyone would not have some sort of agreement with an argument or topic at hand. For example, some feel that abortion is wrong and others feel that it is right. In this situation, if you don’t read, you will be close minded to your own opinion instead of looking at the other side of the argument. Although reading is not something I see as a hobby, I think it very important and beneficial to understanding how the world...

...communicated. They listened to me by making feel heard and understood, they avoided interrupting me, they were not judgmental, and showed interest in solving my problems. I moved into a new apartment with my family, and didn’t yet have enough money to buy a bed for my children, so I decided to go to Wal-Mart and purchase an air mattress. After buying it, and went home I found out that my wife had already bought a bed which made me to go back to return it on the same day, but when I got there I was told that do not accept a return or exchange of mattress. On hearing that I requested to speak to their manager, after she came and listened to my explanation she explained why they do not accept a return of mattress, but also understood why I had to return it. She did not judge me, but gave a listening ear, and then she asked me to wait while she contacted her superior. After doing that she came back with the good news telling me that I could return the mattress and get a full refund of my money back. The manager also gave me a piece of advice telling me not to always go to the store and buy anything or make any big decision without communicating with my wife, and that my wife also have to do the same thing because other stores might not be so understanding about it. Which I thought was very nice of her to let me in on that secret of good communication, the icing on the cake was that my wife...

...PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY Camp Leatherneck the most grueling memory one can experience. The year was 2011; I had a pregnant wife and daughter sitting at home waiting for my safe return. At that moment in time, I knew what was important and with this I had an obligation to my family who needed me. I was not going to take care of my family on this career alone. There is more to life, and if I was going to accomplish this, something else had to be done. Once decided, it was time to invest in an education, which would also take time and dedication. This new path would consist of differentiating what was a must and was a need. Even though one may face challenges, learning the importance of personal responsibility and what it means, personal responsibility versus college success, and incorporating it into one’s education will lead to a rewarding career. The characteristics of personal responsibility can be defined in many ways. The fact or state of being responsible, holding oneself accountable for something within one’s power, control or management, is the definition of personal responsibility. This can pertain to personal life, work and academic environment, and finances. As a marine, the importance of personal responsibility was one of the biggest issues addressed. In the process, it taught me more about myself. I learned the commitments of having a family and serving my country. “Semper Fidelis!” as the Marine Corp would say meaning always faithful. The morals and values...

...Ken Kesey’s, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, takes place in an Oregon psychiatric institution. On the surface, the major characters in this book all seem like your average mental health patients and that their stories are all open and shut cases about people who are institutionalized because they are simply crazy. However, this is a book that deals with social issues that give a reader the opportunity to understand the complexity of who we are, how different we are from one another, and what influences each one of us. Inside the mental institution, each character could be the same as anyone else outside the walls in which they are confined. These characters represent a microcosm of what exists in everyday life in the outside world. In the “real world” as we know it, there are paranoid people like Chief Bromden; obsessive compulsives like George Sorenson; or someone like Randy McMurphy, who chose the mental institution as the lesser of two evils to pay for a crime he committed. In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the most prominent social conflict emerges through the character of Randle McMurphy. McMurphy was the protagonist in this book and he was the one who showed the patients the way to rebuff the system, laugh, and defy authority through humor. The patients began to find strength in his leadership. However, McMurphy came to realize that the very people he was defying were the same people who would determine the timeframe of his release from the hospital. ...

...knowledge gained. Figure 2.1, Knowledge versus Understanding, shows the distinction between the two terms. The figure shows the basics of knowledge transferring to the complexity of understanding. In the classroom, knowledge is taught with different representations of that knowledge. That knowledge progresses to be transferrable and applicable to everyday life. In kindergarten, numbers are presented in the form of counting. It is not until the end of kindergarten or the beginning of first grade where students are taught the understanding of numbers and how to use them. Students are taught the basic understanding of addition and subtraction. After the students are taught the understanding of addition and subtraction, students can demonstrate their learning by using counting chips or other concrete objects. Now that the students have shown their understanding of addition and subtraction, they can go further with their knowledge. Once students demonstrate understanding, they can express their enduring knowledge to transfer to other concepts. Concepts that addition and subtraction and addition can transfer to are money or other school subjects like science and other higher understandings of mathematics. In each grade, the enduring knowledge is always present since the knowledge is transferred each time. In every instance where addition and subtraction can be applied, students are able to do because they have already transferred their understanding. After the students graduate from high...

...Interview Question “What is the importance of medical terminology?” The importance of medical terminology is to allow effective communication. Medical terminology is important, it allows health care professionals to have understandings of certain things that could be elongated. Knowing medical terminology eases the process of having to do or explain everything the long way. It makes it easier and faster for health care professionals, it’s their very own language that helps them completely understand what is happening or what has to be done to help a patient. Medical terms are used to accurately describe the condition of a patient and the procedures he or she has to undergo. Most professionals use these terms (though they could be written in plain English). Not properly communicating or documenting medical information may result in confusion or even bigger health risks to a patient. Mostly everything we do in our day to day life involves these terms, as simple as a written prescription or diagnosis. It helps decipher complex information, many medical terms are made up of suffixes, prefixes and word roots, if the provider memorizes the standard word parts, that makes it easier to decipher the meaning of many medical terms, allows an understanding of diagnosis and procedures, knowledge of medical terms allows health care professionals to understand why the patient is seeking help and how they are being treated. It helps in treating patients, part of treating patients...
