Statement of Purpose and Academic Motivation

Intercultural management practices and competence has been poorly explored by the academic community from the perspective of multicultural Finnish professional life (Weber, Festing & Dowling, 2013). In spite of the fact that various cultural issues in the employment context have been studied from the purely managerial perspective, the majority of these studies relate to either migration of the highly skilled professionals (Thomas & Peterson, 2014), reflected common international trends (Van der Vijer, Hemert & Poortinga, 2008) or evaluated financial performance of the institutions, which significantly attracted employees with different cultural backgrounds (Smith, 2004).

One can very well be reminiscent of the struggle of the women of the world society for gaining right to suffrage- something that testifies to the discriminatory standards of the society ...

A quota is a trade restriction imposed by the government that limits the amount or value of goods imported or exported into a country (Carbaugh, 2010, p. 151). An import quota affects the consumers, producers and the national welfare. Firstly, a quota reduces the supply of a commodity in the importing country’s domestic market. The reduction in supply causes an increase in market price thus leading to a decline in consumer surplus (Carbaugh, 2010, p. 151). However, the increase in market price benefits both foreign and domestic traders hence producer surplus increases (Carbaugh, 2010, p. 151). However, the ...

The point that fascinated me the most is, the use of scales is to present information numerically to facilitate the interpretation of data either as analysis, or in presenting the findings of research. The purpose is though apparently very simple but the real part depends on the type of scale chosen to represent it. Nominal, ordinal, interval and the ration, these four types of scales are the real storyteller that how the data will be selected and interpreted. All these kinds of scales are different in strength, weakness, and ...

Abstract

The physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of the children living in Palestine is one for concern. The horrifying tales of waking up or going to sleep in the sounds of bombs and gunfire cause posttraumatic stress disorder on everyone, including children.

There is no doubt that within this troubled future lays an uneducated population that has seen and known only ...

The MFA phase out gave new opportunities to formerly excluded countries like China, at the expense of formerly protected countries. Under MFA, there was an exception that benefitted countries like Romania, which did not ...

Voluntary export and import restraint agreement quota

Voluntary export restraint agreement quota is both beneficial and disadvantageous to the involved countries. The trade ministries in both countries should therefore weigh its consequences to a country that imposes the quota before they come to such an agreement. Moreover, its resultant effect may not only affect the imposing country but also the citizens of the recipient country who might not buy the new product (Jones, 1984). The restraint export quota has economic effects to a country’s development and in my opinion; it might immensely affect the importing quota country economic status. Raising the products costs to a foreign government ...

A highly debated police action is the stop and frisk search. According to The Legal Dictionary: “This ...
