Public schools offer ideal settings for the dissemination of interventions designed to promote physical activity and life-long healthy eating. As such, schools are the only settings where the majority of children can access the opportunity of consuming healthful meals regularly, being physically active through extracurricular activities, and receiving education on healthy living.

Although recent investigations have made attempts to address the shortcoming, they have yielded mixed ...

Enterprise Excellence

Stenzel (94) holds that enterprise excellence is not only dependent on the tangible assets which are the focus of accounting practices.

Employees who are highly competent can perform their responsibilities with more effectiveness. The resultant effect ...

Introduction

In more ways than one, the conceptualized constructs demarcating the means by which money exchange takes place within the contemporary world economy are profuse than they might actually appear.

This paper will take on a triangulation approach at trying to deconstruct the ideals of contemporary capitalism. By cross-referencing different theorizations, the two loudly acclaimed arrangements of abstraction – financialization and technological abstraction – shall be extrapolated and used to establish the actual stand concerning the doctrine of capitalism today.

The Intersecting Circles framework has more detailed perspective of sustainability showing how each branch of human activity influences the environment. In this case, the humans can introduce sustainable solutions in each of these areas in order to decrees the carbon footprint. Nested Circles model ...

Companies entering the market may be defined as question marks, as their market share at the beginning is low, and the market growth rate is inessential. If the company develops products and services required by consumers, both the market share and ...

Thus, instead of resorting to this option, I decided to work for six months only for every company I worked for. In my opinion, companies do not care so much about an individual’s degree.
