It's not easy to maintain a balance between one's personal and professional lives. In reading the Case of the Holiday at the German advertising firm located in the United States, this becomes more evident than ever since their customers' deadlines are the most important parameter by which employees are evaluated. Of course, we all have to earn a living and sometimes, at the beginning of our careers, working 50 hours a week isn't uncommon. What does seem rather strange is the employee turnover that is rather high and which, in turn, suggests burnout. This is clearly not good for ...

The third aspect of globalization is that countries are able ...

English is the main language of communication used in the East Asia as a lingua franca in all types of international contacts.

This happened at a time when China’s Qing dynasty was at its weakest after the first Sino-Japanese war of 1895 and 1895.

Introduction

Exports can be seen as a mechanism for economic growth of a country. Increased exportation of products can provide output growth directly as part of aggregate output. An increase of foreign demand of products can result in a country’s growth through employment and additional income for exporters. Another significant contribution of exports is that it can impact economic growth by way of “efficient resource allocation,” including more economies of scale and technological change as a result of “foreign market competition” (Helpman & Krugman, 198; Ben-David & Loewy, 1998 as cited in Awokuse, 2008, p. 593). One of the drivers for ...

Moreover, there were communication flaws which meant that distress calls could not be received quickly while other findings revealed that some of the structural components were too weak to sustain the freezing ...

The opium war which took place in the 19th century was one of the first major defeats of the Chinese government.

China was also ignorant to the western revolution and considered the western culture barbaric. China was a traditional country which held strongly to its traditions and culture.

In the year of 1955, families around the world became at risk of losing decades of having dinner at the table, together.

Nevertheless, the edifice’s distinctiveness did not come from its height, but, rather, it came from the way in which it combined “form, inventiveness, and technical expertise” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & Tillmaand 1). The design and construction of the Commerzbank saw the “[b]reaking away from the American model of deep-planned, air-conditioned structures” that have a “central service core” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & ...

After this ill-fated strategy of diversification and a focus on the domestic market between 2001 and 2003, Lenovo chairman Yang Yuanqing said in an interview with the South China Morning ...
