3 STRATEGY In this section‚ we separate strategy into two components: the content of the strategy and the process of developing the strategy. The content describes how an organization will achieve its vision or strategic intent‚ i.e. it is a blueprint for winning. As such there is no one best strategy. A firm’s strategy ties together the different functional areas of the organization (e.g. marketing and finance) so that there is a consistency in action over time. It also drives implementation

High quality preschool programs should provide well trained and adequately paid teachers‚ provide curriculums based on solid research‚ and have a balance between teacher-directed activities and child-initiated activities. In addition‚ curriculums should provide ample amounts of make believe play because it promotes abstract thinking‚ verbal and social skills‚ and self-regulation. Moreover‚ high quality preschool programs should provide a low teacher to child ratio so teachers can meet the individual

Is standardized testing improving our students’ academic achievement level? Or is it causing several high schools around the world to have a lower graduation rate? I personally feel that there should be no standardized test that determines if students graduate and receive their diploma. Causing stress on our teachers‚ lowering graduation rates‚ and putting at risk students at a higher risk is three of several reasons why standardized testing should no longer be permitted in our schools. All teachers

the turnover crises not only on an international level but also the national crises in Malaysia which may not be far away. Furthermore‚ the findings from the literature review indicates that an international perspective on a turnover crisis begins when an employee faces the case of dissatisfaction from a poor working environment and considers leaving his current job. The Mobley model could be used to predict the case of dissatisfaction and better understand how to retain the employee.

application of information technology‚ managers are increasingly focusing on process improvement in the software development area. This demand has spurred the provision of a number of new and/or improved approaches to software development‚ with perhaps the most prominent being object-orientation (OO). In addition‚ the focus on process improvement has increased the demand for software measures‚ or metrics with which to manage the process. The need for such metrics is particularly acute when an organization

Performance of Random Testing Through Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods Bo Zhou‚ Hiroyuki Okamura‚ Member‚ IEEE‚ and Tadashi Dohi‚ Member‚ IEEE Abstract—In this paper‚ we propose a probabilistic approach to finding failure-causing inputs based on Bayesian estimation. According to our probabilistic insights of software testing‚ the test case generation algorithms are developed by Markov chain Mote Carlo (MCMC) methods. Dissimilar to existing random testing schemes such as adaptive random testing‚ our approach
