Never before has Schindler abandoned its mass customization and engineer-to-order strategies in favor of no customization whatsoever. The greater the customization in any product strategy the higher the level of profitability (Sharma, LaPlaca, 2005)
In recent years, the company has acquired five companies in Europe and the United States, including C-Pharma, which was acquired in 2003 for about $17.2 million (Budhwar, Katou & Narayan, 2009)
Educating UK employees concerning these and other issues as necessary. The overarching priority of these approaches was to bring the core competencies of the newly acquired C-Pharma to bear on Ganga's bottom line as quickly as possible by adding value along the entire supply chain in innovative ways, a process that is congruent with industry best practices (Wall & Wall, 2000)
6. Reflection activity: Narrative What sculptural conventions were adopted by Indian artists in order to clearly convey the narrative? There were seven distinct modes of narration in Indian monuments that portrayed the life and legend of Buddha and many of the styles are portrayed in a similar fashion on various monuments (Dhejia, 1990)
Some were also placed in institutions such as boarding schools. In order to justify the practice of removing Indian children from their birth homes, authorities at the time claimed that there was a dramatic rise in unmarried Indian mothers and unwanted children (Jacobs)
The checks lasted no more than five minutes and involved both an open-view examination, and a sniffer dog program. Two motorists, one of them James Edmond, brought suit against the state on grounds that the checkpoint program violated the search and seizure provisions of both the Indiana Constitution and the Fourth Amendment (Carmen, 2013)
To a certain extent, each of these states drives foreign economic policy. However, the central government still exercises control over many facets of India's economy, so the current foreign economic policy is a blend of state-based economic policy influences and the influence of the central government (Jenkins, 2003)
When one considers the actual style of dance that is involved in Indian "belly dancing," these reports should come as no surprise. In fact, the art of Indian dance appears "in Persian miniature paintings of the 12th and 13th centuries" (Wright) and can now be found in European museums: "Women dancing head downwards constantly appear in Persian pictures; several examples may be seen in the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the same subject often occurs on the valuable pencil-cases formerly made with so much taste and art in Persia" (Jusserand 118)
Rather, the promotion of such an origin actually came about due to the bad reputation that Indian "belly dancing" was receiving in the West at the beginning of the 20th century. In an attempt to justify what was being condemned as a provocative dance, some authors (and dancers) like Armen Ohanian described a "sacred dance" that was being corrupted by "the spirit of the Occident," transforming the "holy dance" into "the horrible danse du ventre, the 'hoochie-koochie'" (Wright)
This was not just because they were horny but because it was part of the customs of Hopi society to make love during pregnancy. It was believed that having intercourse during pregnancy is like "irrigating a crop," (Talayesva 25)
¶ … American Indians struggled against the oppression of the White Man for nearly another seventy years but Chief Black Hawk's 1832 surrender speech epitomizes the frustration felt by the various tribes that once dominated the American landscape. From text of this speech, Kent State history professor, Phillip Weeks, drew the title for his book, Farewell, My Nation (Weeks, 2000)
The Muskogean tribes made up the Mississippian cultures which were temple-mound builders. "Among the Muskogean tribes were the Creeks, Hitichis and Yamasees of Georgia, the Apalachees of Florida, the Alabamas and Mobiles of Alabama, and the Choctaws, Chickasaws and Houmas of Mississippi" (Murray, n
This is greatly contrasted with the account of Daru's best friend, Ozi. Hamid writes "God has been kind to Ozi's father," signifying that Ozi' family has been well taken care of (Hamid 23)
Darashikoh Shezad, also known as Daru, is one of the characters tracked in the novel. He is much more on the outer edge of society, and tries desperately to fit into the elite groups emerging within it (Jay 54)
Post Colonial India and South Asian Identity "Pakistan is often perceived as merely one of those far-away places that serve as breeding grounds for extremism and violence," yet this is not a clear image of the truth (Perner 23)
Hamid himself is a product of this hybridized culture, having received his higher education here in the U.S. (Yaqin 2)
Cavalry as he and his men sought to locate and kill Comanches. On page 4 the reader gets a taste of what the Comanches did in the Salt Creek Massacre: "Seven men were killed…stripped, scalped, and mutilated…beheaded…(with) brains scooped out…their fingers, toes and private parts had been cut off and stuck in their mouths [and their bodies] were filled full of arrows, which made them resemble porcupines" (Gwynne, 4)
Martin Jacques in " When China Rules the World: The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order" (Jacques, 2009) offers an analysis on Chinese influence in the region and the world in which its self-confidence, steaming from its economic power, allows it to project hegemony of political and cultural proportions over large regions of the world. In the same time, Raghav Bahl sees the two powers in a tighter competition (Bahl, 2010)
There is a vast literature on comparing Chinese power projections with those of India, as well as the more and more complicated scenarios of and realities on Asian politics, translated into global politics. Martin Jacques in " When China Rules the World: The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order" (Jacques, 2009) offers an analysis on Chinese influence in the region and the world in which its self-confidence, steaming from its economic power, allows it to project hegemony of political and cultural proportions over large regions of the world
Mearsheimer (University of Chicago) go where Pant and Sikri didn't often go -- the theoretical approach to states that are powerful or becoming powerful. But Gilpin adds to Pant and Sikri; he says that "a more powerful state…will select a larger bundle of security and welfare goals than a less wealthy and less powerful state" (Gilpin, 1983, p
