...University School of Information Studies Dexi Kong Success case #1: Yo, an English slang is now the name of a widely successful app. How it works? Nothing but sending “Yo” to your friends--Stupid but simple. The app, which debuted in April, has been downloaded two million times, according to Or Arbel, the chief executive. "We Yo with co-workers alerting them that a meeting is starting; I Yo with my wife as a 'hi' during a busy day, I Yo with friends, without any more expectation or need than a Yo back." -- Investor of Yo John Borthwick As much as $10 million. That is the valuation investors have assigned to the new smartphone app. ere is how it success, from my personal perspective. Usefulness is the success metric of any technology rather than capabilities. Say, we need alert someone of something. A phone call might be too intrusive or unnecessary, a text message is not noticeable enough, an email may be even more ignorable. Fortunately, now we have Yo, that could help us fill this gap, fill those tiny moments that we don’t want it to be ignored but would rather not bother others by making a phone call. Technology is meant to simplify people’s life. By using this app, we can save lots of words by simply saying “Yo”. Under certain context, it’s not necessary to “make things so clear”, both the massage deliver and receiver knows what’s going on. Most communication app can do what Yo can do, but Yo really help to simplify our communication and make us realize how...

...Hi-Ho Yo-Yo, Inc. 1 Hi-Ho Yo-Yo, Inc. BUS 644 Hi-Ho Yo-Yo, Inc. 2 First we must incorporate priority rules. Priority rules are regulations which determine in which succession the orders in front of a production line should be worked (Stevenson 2011, p. 712). In deciding what priority rules to acclimate, an organization such as Hi-Ho Yo-Yo, Inc. should achieve the following objectives: 1. Meet due dates of the customers if the product goes directly to them or the downstream operations if the product is but an input of another. 2. Minimize the time the order spends within the process including wait time. 3. Minimize work-in-process inventory which inevitable ties resources which can otherwise be used in more productive activities. 4. Minimize idle time of both machine and human resources. Given these objectives, Hi-Ho Yo-Yo, Inc. can choose from different priority rules and some of the most popular are as follows: (Retrieved from table 16.2, Stevenson 2011, p. 712).

Furthermore for better understanding the key details related to above mentioned topics I have chosen Yo! Sushi Company to investigate. Background of the company Founded in 1997, YO! Sushi brought the concept of a Japanese ‘kaiten’ sushi bar that delivered food to customers via a conveyor belt travelling 8cm per second to the masses, and became the original and most famous sushi brand in the UK. By 2001, YO! Sushi was the market leader in sushi restaurants and (we like to think!) inspired supermarkets to start selling packaged sushi to the Great British Public, allowing people in areas where YO! Sushi restaurants hadn’t arrived yet to take their first steps in discovering how tasty and healthy sushi can be. For the past 11 years YO! Sushi has been led by the CEO, Robin Rowland and with the help of their leadership team, they have grown from a London-only sushi brand to an international iconic success with over 60 restaurants worldwide. YO! Sushi is privately owned by Quilvest and the YO! Sushi senior management team in the UK. Task 1. Recruitment, Selection and Retention Procedures For the purpose...

...self-control, verbal ability, mental agility and mental toughness. Each putdown, each "snap", ups the ante. Defeat can be humiliating; but a skilled contender, win or lose, may gain respect. The dozens is one of the contributing elements in the development of hip hop, especially the practice of battling. The dozens can be a harmless game, or, if tempers flare, a prelude to violence. While the competition, on its face, is usually light-hearted, smiles sometimes mask real tensions. But in its purest form, the dozens is part of an African-American custom of verbal sparring, of woofin' and signifyin', intended to defuse conflict nonviolently, descended from an oral tradition rooted in traditional West African cultures. "Yo mama", or "yo madra" are common, widely recognized argumentative rejoinder in African-American vernacular speech, is a cryptic and sometimes comical allusion to the dozens. Four examples would be, "Yo mama is so fat, when she jumps in the air, she gets stuck!" or "Yo mama is so stupid that she failed a survey!" or "Yo mama is so stupid she sold her car for gas money!" or "your mama is so stupid it took her 2 hours to watch 60 Minutes!” * Your hair is so nappy 'cause King Kong's your pappy * Yo mom so stupid it takes her an hour to cook minute rice * I saw yo mom kicking a can down the street and asked her what she was doing, she said movin'!! * Yo mom so fat...

...be at an event to bring the arts back into schools and got to see an amazing collaboration between Yo-Yo Ma and a young dancer in LA, Lil Buck. Someone who knows Yo-Yo Ma had seen Lil Buck on YouTube and put them together. The dancing is Lil Buck's own creation and unlike anything I've seen. Hope you enjoy.” This is the preface given by Spike Jonze, to a video he filmed in April of 2011. In this video, an L.A. street dancer named Lil Buck performs a style of dance, which is commonly referred to as “gangster walking”, while classical musician Yo-Yo Ma accompanies him on the cello. The performance cannot be compared to anything else – the blend of street dancing and classical music is truly a unique combination. It’s a combination that we don’t see in everyday life, a distortion of reality – which is most likely why Jonze was drawn to the idea. From his early days as a music video director and all throughout his career, Spike Jonze has had a penchant for escaping the confines of reality. From one of his earliest music videos, which plays in reverse, to films like Being John Malkovich and Where the Wild Things Are, in which he literally brings the viewer in to a new reality. This distortion of reality is a mirror of Spike’s obsession with straying from convention, in narrative and filmmaking technique. While Spike and his characters may seek to escape the confines of reality, what they are really seeking under the surface is acceptance. Spike’s work reveals a common human tension...

His books on writing, including English Syntax (1954) and Patterns of English (1956), have helped generations of high school and college students become better writers. "How to Say Nothing in 500 Words" is taken from his best-known book, Understanding English (1958). Although written almost fifty years ago, the essay is still relevant for student writers today. Good writing, Roberts tells us, is not simply a matter of filling up a page; rather, the words have to hold the reader's interest, and they must say something. In this essay, Roberts uses lively prose and a step-by-step process to guide the student from the blank page to the finished essay.

...Managing Business Operations The chosen company to study in this report is YO! Sushi. I. INTRODUCTION 1. The Company YO! Sushi is a chain of restaurants that was founded in 1997 by Simon Woodrofde in London, United-Kingdom. Its goal was to make sushi more approachable to the English market. In order to achieve so, it brought the innovative concept of the conveyor belt, also called “kaiten” and sushi bar ambiance that was so successful in Japan. After its opening in Soho, London, its concept expanded among Londoners among whom the YO! Sushi brand quickly established itself as a unique dining experience. The company pursued its expansion in the United-Kingdom and by 2001, it became the market leader in sushi restaurants. The company receives an average of 300 applications per year from potential franchises. It began its international quest by entering the Middle-East in 2003. It progressively entered other European countries such as Portugal and Norway; in 2012, it opened its first branch in the United-States of America, in Washington. The company reports that it serves over 5 million customers a year worldwide. (Rowland, 2014; YO! Sushi, 2014). The Venue In order to analyze the company’s operations, the venue should be introduced: Customers enter the restaurant and a staff member immediately places them either on a table or at the bar. All seats are situated at proximity of the conveyor belt, which is located around an open kitchen. Condiments including...
