And D. are the cash cows necessary to fund the growth of SBUs a and B. The dog of the group, SBU E, provides no net cash flow and adds no value to the overall product mix. The European distance learning center's current product mix is relatively well balanced. There are SBUs able to generate cash and SBUs that could become stars with cash infusions from the cash cows. The college's competitive "health" is good, but the college must have a strategy to remain healthy.
To formulate future strategy, dividing the SBUs into business units that fit into clear categories and SBUs that do not fit easily into a category helps the company focus on the SBUs that need work. The ideal cash cow is SBU D. The large amount of excess cash generated by this SBU is very secure. The college has a strong leadership position. The competitor holding the second position has only one-quarter the students of SBU D. The low market growth rate of 4% discourages existing and new competitors from making any investment that would threaten the college's market leadership. The ideal dog is SBU E. The college does not have a leadership position in this market and the market growth rate is low at 4%. No cash will be generated for SBU E. And the college should not invest any more cash in this SBU.
SBU D. And E. have been identified as products not requiring additional cash. The other three SBUs do need additional cash for differing reasons. SBU C. falls into the cash cow category,...
The college does have the largest market share, but the competitors occupying the second and third positions are not far behind. SBU C. has nearly three times more competitors than SBU D. And the market growth rate is nearly twice the rate of the SBU D's market. To increase market share the college should use a combination of buying market share, thereby reducing the number of competitors, and growing market share while the market growth rate is at least moderate. Use cash to buy business from some of the numerous competitors. Also use cash to add more courses or more sections of existing courses to grow market share.
SBU a currently fits in the question mark category. The limited number of competitors, the second fewest of the five SBUs, the third highest market share of the nine colleges in the product area, and a double digit (15%) market growth rate make this a good product area to invest excess cash. The best approach to move SBU a into the star category is to use excess cash to grow market share. Add courses, add more sections to existing courses, and increase the frequency of course offerings by adding a winter intersession or a summer session, to grow market share. Buying market share does not have as great a potential as growing market share because the number of competitors is small and the market growth rate is double digit.
nursing school students can apply their critical skills in appropriate ways that maximizes critical thinking. The researchers documented in their research the ability for nurses to interact and learn with people from elder generations. The authors wrote "Educators and instructors who work with young health professionals need to be aware of the short-term effects of service learning activities on students' knowledge of aging in general and their longer term
Question 10 of the interview was asked to know how the students managed their study time in which the Middle East male asserted that no particular time is fixed for study at all. The Middle East female is more organized and managed than Middle East male. She keeps friends and studies close. She has a proper timetable for herself and gives extra hours in library if necessary.

The trainer will then focus on the steps to be taken to develop new skills. For example, if the trainer wants to talk about motivating, leading, negotiating, selling or speaking, it is best to start with what the learners do well before showing some chart on Maslow's theory, Posner's leadership practices, or selling skills from some standard package that has been develop elsewhere. Many foreign trainers make grave errors
This is counter to the points made later in the article regarding distance education theory (Najjar, 2008) and its impact on a more individualized approach to distance instruction. Arguably the impact of higher-speed collaborative technologies of which the Internet is the most pervasive are shifting these theories and making dialogue-based theories, including social networking-based concepts of shared collaboration more relevant and effective. The use of collaborative classrooms online for
In summary, we recommend that the IESBA reconsiders the proposals in the Exposure Draft and provides more guidance on safeguards applicable to sole practitioners and small accounting firms to ensure that the benefits of the changes outweigh the costs to SMEs. Under a principle-based approach, there should be safeguards and practical relief for all practitioners rather than rules-based outright prohibitions. The rewrite of this Independence component of the Code
popularized social and cultural trends are merging, intentionally or not, toward laying the foundation for generating a new narrative about what it means to learn across a lifespan in an environment conducive to healthy living. It seeks to examine the coalescing of what is called lifelong learning side-by-side with the theories and practices related to the evolution of ecological thinking and environmental awareness. The idea that life can be
