Abstract:

<p>The global business environment of today requires companies to be flexible, in order to quickly react and respond to the ever-changing market. Business-to-business application integration (B2BAI) can be seen as a tool which enables companies to stay competitive and it is often regarded by the theory as a must for survival in today’s fierce business environment. Eventhough the employment of a B2BAI strategy can generate a lot of advantages and opportunities for companies operating within today’s global business environment, there are still many challenges and problems to overcome in order to

Abstract:

The 'Why Computing?' project is a constructivist-interpretive study which arose from concerns over many years of practice as an academic, as to why some students enrolled on computing degrees when they had no apparent interest in the subject. To check that these were wider concerns, not just personal or local, work started by interviewing academics from diverse universities. This confirmed the broad prevalence of low levels of apparent disengagement. Empirical data were collected, from current and potential students, over a period of up to 18-months, as they chose their course and progressed i

Abstract:

There are not many situations in each person's life when one has to make a global choice that affects the whole future. One of them young people have to do at school. It is a choice of future profession. And it is necessary to treat this choice as the beginning of a new interesting life stage, not as a necessity. A person who chooses his professional life path needs to understand the huge variety of modern professions, understand their content and really evaluate their capabilities, abilities, interests. An incorrectly chosen profession in youth creates problems both for the individual and the

The purpose of this study is to analyze and understand why some Black women in Greensboro, North Carolina have made the decision to wear their hair naturally, in its original kinky, curly, non-straightened form.

Abstract:

After going through the literature on entrepreneurship we found that very little studies have been done whether culture and family business traditions influence the decisions of entrepreneurship. Most people from the South and Southeast Asia had cultural and family business backgrounds. The purpose of our study is to investigate if culture and family business traditions of South andSoutheast Asian immigrants affect their decision to become self-employed and if so how. This will enhance the understanding of whether this factor is also important to motivate the entrepreneurs to be self-employed.

Abstract:

2010/2011<br>Quality is one important characteristic of products and services, but customers can find some difficulties in evaluating it. If information is not uniformly distributed (e.g. sellers have more information than buyers), trade can be difficult (Akerlof 1970). Certification, defined as the assurance that certain requirements are respected, is a possible mechanism to mitigate the asymmetric information. A typical example of certification is the university degree that assures of the fulfillment of academic requirements. This thesis focuses on the ISO 9000 certification, which assures

Abstract:

Background: Employer branding is a concept that describes a company's reputation as a work place. Working with the employer brand can help companies to attract talented employees and also retain them in the company. It is therefore important that companies understand what makes an employer attractive in order to appeal and retain employees. This is important especially for businesses that are located in small cities since it can be challenging for them to attract talent there. Urbanization has led to smaller areas being less populated and that graduated students are least prone to move to thes

Abstract:

As both a cause and an effect of globalisation, English has emerged as the language of international communication in many contexts. ELF (English as a lingua franca) and the hegemony of English over national languages inevitably bring up issues of attitude and identity. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate how Italian audiences perceive English and its use by non-native singers. A research questionnaire was thus submitted to the fans of three Italian singers who write songs in English: Elisa, Raphael Gualazzi, and Birthh. The dissertation is divided into two parts. The first part con
