Abstract

Chinese entrepreneurship is known to be influenced by historically traditional and cultural characteristics. The concept of Chinese businesses that the family patriarch critically manages them continues to hold true, although in the modern world as opposed to two decades ago, it has slowly changed. However, much of the management is held by a male member of the family, whether they operate a business upon their property or if they lease or rent the property. The tradition of a Chinese family-run business retains its discernible mark in worldwide business.

As motivated as they may be maintaining past practices for the sake of ...

Transfer of professional responsibility and accountability for some or all aspects of care for a patient, or groups of patients, to another person or professional groups on a temporary or permanent basis is referred to as clinical handoff.

These companies are appointing skilled ...

Discussion

The strength of any public services is shown by the quality of its human resource. Developments in the economy have led to shifts in knowledge and expectation. More than ever before, the citizens are increasingly aware of the obligation that the public sector has to the citizenry. There is increased expectation for quality service delivery. As a result of this, there is more demand for better services from a public sector that is responsive to the prevailing conditions (Pepple, 2009, pg.1). Stalled development in Nigeria has been blamed on the failure to achieve development targets and goals. Scholars argue that is ...

Chapter 2: Literature Review

Introduction
Poor student development has been established to stem from the inability of teachers to effectively manage classroom behaviour, also stemming from ineffective instructional strategies. As teachers show a diminished capacity to support and respond to students’ needs, student rates of misbehaviour and poor academic performance will continue. The unproductive, unengaged environment of classrooms run by teachers without adequate classroom management skills results in a need to examine the efficacy of classroom management as a practice in addressing these problems. The following literature review examines the existing literature related to classroom management, providing a definition of classroom management, determining its effectiveness, and ...

Introduction

The achievement gap in formal schooling between African American children and other groups is stark. This has proven consistent over time (Coleman, et al, 1966), across jurisdictions (Clotfelter, Ladd & Vigdor, 2009; Bailey & Dziko, 2008), and throughout the K-12 system (The National Center for Education Statistics, 2014). Improving these issues is an obvious direction forward. Yet, the obstacles are numerous and multifaceted (Sanacore, 2004). Relative to the public domain, the school system is often targeted for a lack of understanding in relation to educating young African Americans of low socio-economic status. The curriculum is long been criticized for being de-contextualized to ...

1.1 Background developments

Traditionally, accounting standards have been developed by different countries on the basis of local legal, economical and cultural institutions frameworks (Elliott and Elliott, 2009, p. 158). As a result, the standard setting was very country specific. With the globalization process at work for the last 3-4 decades and increasing mobility of capital internationally accepted accounting standards have become necessary to facilitate cross border transactions and make financial reporting comparable between countries and companies thereby leading to a greater transparency for investors (Nobes, 2004). IASB has been set up as a private international standard setter with a mandate to create high quality accounting standards ...
