How Hult Helped Me Land A Data Analytics Job With Google

Students of Hult International Business School are well-prepared for careers in tech, as they have the opportunity to combine their studies with international travel between the school’s global campuses. With home campus options between Boston, San Francisco, London or Dubai, and rotation campuses adding the chance to study in Shanghai or New York, students at Hult are immersed in an international world, learning about the business world across as many as three continents during their studies. Jasmin Elbert, Master of International Business, London Class of 2014 Jasmin Elbert pursued a Masters in International Business at Hult International Business School for exactly that reason—she now works in a data analytics role for Google, where she currently works as a search and automation specialist, helping clients maximize their search engine optimization by analyzing their data. â€Å"[The Masters] really helped develop [my] soft skills,† she says, â€Å"which is really important in real life—I learned how to work in multicultural environments, how to communicate with other people, and how to identify strengths [within a team].† Practical application: Hult Business Challenge Teamwork is harnessed through the Hult Business Challenge—students decide whether they want to enroll on the entrepreneurial track, where they incubate their own ideas, or the corporate track, where they work with a multinational company to solve a real-world business issue. Jasmin opted for the corporate track and was placed in a diverse-rich team formed of people from different nationalities, industries, and backgrounds, working with consumer services company Lebara Limited—they hired her afterwards as a market research analyst before she moved to IT services firm Accenture as a digital analyst. Now at Google though, she’s seen how tech companies place a large value on employees with a global mindset, as they look for people with an understanding of an array of cultures and personalities who can collaborate with their peers. While there, Jasmin has begun to see the true value of the Masters in International Business from Hult and explains: â€Å"I think because nowadays you can do online courses and learn whatever you want, [companies like] Accenture and Google look [closely] at the soft skills.† Forward-thinking curriculum: Dual degree in Business Analytics and Nano courses in Disruptive Tech Though the emphasis on soft skills within the tech industry is growing exponentially, Hult also prepares students with all the hard knowledge they will need to succeed in the rapidly changing world of technology. The school offers Nano courses in Disruptive Technologies, one-credit modules in topics such as Autonomous Vehicles, AI and Machine Learning, Robotics, and Blockchain.

Ethics, Morals, And Upbringing - 996 Words

Throughout the history of ethics there have been many debatable questions asked. Some of these questions of ethics are broad and some are very straight forward. I will state my opinion on the questions asked with either yes or no, and give my reasoning on why I feel that way. My opinion on these topics leads back to my ethics, morals, and upbringing. These topics require people to really think about what is being asked. Most of my opinions on these questions are strictly yes or no, but some are not so easy to decide on. To begin, these are the questions of ethics that I think are strictly yes. I think that human beings do have a natural tendency to do well in life. I think that almost everyone is raised to be a good person over all. There are some people who choose an evil path but for the most part everyone wants to be a good person. They just make life choices then they become evil. For example, I think that most people want to be nice to everyone but there are factors that stress people out and influence their mood. Next, I think that there are times when a person can go wrong by following his or her conscience, but for the most part it usually is a good idea to follow ones conscience. But if someone acts too fast on a decision then following their conscience could be a bad thing. Someone’s conscience is based on morals and things that they have learned throughout their life.

male and female relationships Essay - 592 Words

Female vs. Male Friendships nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Male and female friendships are different and alike in many ways. They differ in how men and women can relate to each other both physically and emotionally. Men and women also differ in the communication aspect. In both friendships, there is a certain level of competitiveness, and the friends obviously will have the same interest in common. Friendships will differ from person to person because of the different personalities, but there will be the same likes and differences. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Physical and emotional closeness definitely is different for men and women friendships.

If a man does not talk to his friend on a regular basis, to a man that just means that their friend is either busy or is just hanging with other friends. Men are better with confrontation then women. A man will come right out and tell his friend that he is upset with his actions, whereas a woman will act as if nothing is wrong and continue the friendship and eventually blow up at her friend. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;In both friendships, there will be a certain level of competitiveness, whether or not the sexes admit to it. Both men and women compete for the opposite sex. There are other things that they compete at such as academics, sports, looks, video games and just about everything in general. No matter if it is a male to male, female-to-female or female to male, in all friendships there must be a common interest. Without that interest, there is no friendship. Whether it is a mutual friend or what kind of beer you like, that interest must be present or there is no reason for the friendship. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Different personalities will obviously determine who will be friends.

Similarities Between Hinduism And Buddhism - 942 Words

CCOT Essay Hinduism and Buddhism were both founded and popular in northern India by 600 CE. Although Hinduism and the Hindu caste system maintained a strong influence in South Asia throughout 600-1750 CE, the Hindu majority eventually gave way as Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, and syncretic faiths gradually moved in and across the Indian Ocean basin by 1750 CE. Even then, Hinduism did spread from northern India through southern India to Southeast Asia. The caste system was maintained from 600-1750 CE, given the fact that Hinduism promoted such rigid class distinctions as morally right, though the caste system developed sub-castes during this period. Buddhism actually declined with Hinduism and Islam gaining more ground in its native India only to slowly gain influence in SE Asia. This spread was caused by Buddhist merchants, who brought their religion to their trade partners. Founded in 622, Islam had large and rapid growth due to early military conquests, spread of religion through missionary work, and trade, which exposed non-Muslim merchants to the religion. Other faiths such as Christianity, Sikhism, and Akbar’s â€Å"Divine Faith† had modest success. By 1750, the Indian Ocean contained many different religions, and each faith influenced various empires, social classes, and port cities to differing degrees. In 600, Hinduism already had a strong foothold in northern India, though not in southern India. As Buddhism declined in popularity after 600, Hinduism often benefited,Show MoreRelatedSimilarities Between Hinduism And Buddhism948 Words   |  4 PagesBoth Hinduism and Buddhism came from the region called India.

Organization Development and Change †MyAssignmenthelp.com

Question: Discuss about the Internal and External Contextual Factors. Answer: An organization can be defined as an individual or a group of people who collaborates together to achieve some specific commercial goals. Some business organizations are set up in order to earn money for the owners and some non-profit organizations are for the public purposes. In other words, an organization can be defined as a structured group of people need to pursue a collective goal (Cummings Worley, 2014). The objective of this essay is to gain some knowledge and understanding of the internal and external contextual factors that will mark its impact on a business organization and its way of making decisions. The essay throws light on a hypothetical business start up, a brief description of the organization, its size, the industry and the country or countries in which it will operate and the strategies and visions it will adopt. It also includes the internal and external contextual factors that will impact the business organization, the probable risks of the business, the practices which needs to be adopted to enhance the organizational performance, the most important functions of the organization and its relation to its performance. I am planning to start a business of costume jewelry in Sydney. It will manufacture different designs of earring, necklaces, pendants and bangles. All the products will have unique designs which will differentiate it from other jewelers of the city, attracting more and more customers. Initially, the size of the jewelry shop would be medium, depending on the capital. The customers will have a wide range of costume jewelry offerings to choose from. They will also have the facility to customize the items based on their choice. Moreover, the design of a shop highly matters in order to attract people. The shop will have colorful lights all over with wall arts. Any business organization has some internal and external environmental forces which will impact its growth. It is beyond the control of the business owner and their management team which will affect the organization. These forces can be the customers, competitors, creditors, socio cultural organizations, government, national and international organizations, political parties and others. Some of the above forces may directly or indirectly affect the progress of the business (Cummings Worley, 2014). A business organization has some general and specific forces. General forces are the ones which affect an individual firm indirectly and specific forces affect an enterprise on a daily basis. Moreover a business organization is dynamic and it keeps changing, be in terms of technological improvement, change in the preferences of consumers or the entry of any new competition of the organization in market. Uncertainties are there in any business organization because it is too difficult to pre dict what is going to happen in the future, especially when the changes are occurring too frequently (Baker, 2014). The internal environmental forces have direct impact on any business organization; on the other hand the external environmental forces have indirect influence on any business organization. Some of the internal forces which will have impact on any business organization are discussed here. The founders value system plays a very important role on the objectives of the business organization, choice of business, its practices and policies (Fransen, 2013). Vision is also an important factor in achieving the mission or aim of any organization. If the vision or prediction is wrong then it can hamper the progress of the business organization. Moreover, the business organizations structure also influences its decisions. The structure refers to the organizations board of directors, management, employees and others. The organizations style and structure may lead to the delay of making any decision (Kuratko, Hornsby Covin, 2014). The external forces have indirect impact on the business organization. Some of them are mentioned here. The working or operating environment of the organization needs to be professional as it has indirect impact on the organizations operations. The suppliers need to be efficient as they supply the raw materials to the organization (Wheelen Hunger, 2017). Along with these factors, the organization should be able to maintain a good amount customers base. A businesss progress and existence depends on its customers. The intermediaries of marketing which include agents and other middlemen help any company to find its customers and financers. If the marketing is not done properly then it would impact the business organization. Moreover, a business progress depends on how much media attention it is getting. Media helps in getting mass attention, so adequate media coverage is required for its growth (Kuratko, Hornsby Covin, 2014). There are also some business risks which will confront the organization. It can be categorized into five factors. Those factors can be economic, social, political, legal and technical. The economic environment refers to the business economy and the socio economic infrastructure. If the businesss economy is not good enough it will risk its growth (Wild, Wild Han, 2014). Moreover, the sociological factors like cost, value system of the society, conventions, customs, labors mobility and others have a huge impact on the business organization. The political factors include the influence of any political organization, the governments ideology or the party which is in power, philosophy of the political parties, extent and the nature of bureaucracy, influence of the primary groups and more (Kaplan Mikes, 2012). Legal factors are the flexibility of the law and the adaptability of other laws which are governing the business organization. It may also include the courts rulings and decisions. With all the above factors, comes the last one which is the influence of technical environment. Any business is largely influenced by technical development. The technology which is adapted by the organization determines the quality and the type of products or services it will produce and the equipments which are used (Sadgrove, 2016). There are several business practices that need to be adopted to enhance organizational performance. Those are discussed here. Firstly, it is necessary to choose the right equipment for any business start up. It reduces the chance of any risky errors and it will improve the way of doing business. Therefore, before buying any equipment, it is important to thoroughly check the present as well as future needs of any business. The equipments should be in good condition along with several features, which will give good results. If any replacement is required, it should be done beforehand (Kaplan Mikes, 2012). Secondly, use of right technology to improve the operations. With the advent of digital media, marketing has gone too far. Digital marketing can be done to reach the international customers. Web technology helps in improving the business marketing and reach to the furthest corners. Online purchases would help the business getting international acclamation, it should be tracked and ch ecked whether any customer is facing any kind of problem or not, on a daily basis (Fransen, 2013). Thirdly, employees behavior should be checked daily. It is important to keep a track record of all the employees working for the organization. If they are facing any kind of problem in the organization, it should be immediately taken care of. Fourthly, while doing the business, it is important to keep a record of the product which is having the most percentage of profit and which needs improvement. There should be a suggestion box for the customers, which will help in the improvement of the business organization. Customers should have lucrative opening offers and discounts to gain more and more attention. Moreover, media attention is necessary for any business start up, so the opening ceremony should have media coverage (Chen et al., 2014). This essay also discusses the most important functions within the business organization and how it is related to its performance. Firstly, the production function, which is the creation of products and services, undertaking several processes and using proper equipments. The production depends on the organization, labors, capital, materials and facilities for the smooth operation of the business. Moreover, it is important to meet the delivery schedules within the given time and perform the operations at the minimal costs (Schaper, 2014). Secondly, the function of marketing, which is the way of getting the products and services to the consumers, satisfying their desires and needs. It is the function of bringing together the producers of the organization with its customers, in a relationship of exchanging and ownership transfer takes place. Marketing involves product distribution, promotion and pricing. This function also involves the digital marketing, which is very important nowadays. It enhances product sales and marketing. Thirdly, the finance function of the business organization, which includes decisions related to investment, finance and dividend (Garca-Morales, Jimnez-Barrionuevo Gutirrez-Gutirrez, 2012). Fourthly, the human resource function deals with the human side of any business. It maintains an effective and capable workforce, motivating the employees to give their fullest in order to achieve the goals of the organization. Fifthly, the information function, which is basically, concerned with the track records of any business. It helps in maintaining the organizational records, analyzing and providing information, operational function as well as public relations function. Last but not the least, is the innovation function, which is the implementation of new and innovative ideas or opinions to enhance the business performance. The ideas can be of anyone, be it the owner, or the associates or even the consumers suggestions (Zikmund et al., 2013). To conclude, an organization is set up to achieve certain goals. Various organizations have different policies; objectives and work flow which help them grow. While setting up a business it is important to keep in mind the above factors. No matter how small the business organization is, it is necessary to keep all sorts of records and check that marketing is done properly. Marketing is the powerhouse of any business organization; it is responsible for a successful organization. Moreover, digital marketing must be done which will be beneficial for any industry. It helps the organization reach the international markets and gain mass attention. References: Baker, M. J. (2014).Marketing strategy and management. Palgrave Macmillan.

Sexual Anatomy free essay sample

Sexual Anatomy On the female body there are many external sex organs. One of the organs is the vulva. Vulva comes from a Latin term that means â€Å"wrapper† or â€Å"covering†. There are six different parts to the vulva. The different parts are: the Mons Veneris; Labia Majora; Labia Minora; the Clitoris and the vaginal opening. The mons veneris consists of fatty tissue that covers the joint of the pubic bones in front of the body. It is below the abdomen and above the clitoris. The mons veneris cushions a woman’s body during sexual intercourse. It can protect her and her partner from the pressure against the pubic bone that they can feel that comes from thrusting. The Labia Majora are large folds of skin that run downward from the mons veneris along the sides of the vulva. When they are close together, they protect the labia minora and the urethral and vaginal openings. They are supplied with many nerve endings that can respond to stimulation and product sexual pleasure. It also protects the inner female genitals. The Labia Minora are two hairless, light colored membranes, located between the major lips. They surround the urethral and vaginal openings. The outer surfaces of labia minora merge with the major lips. The labia minora is rich in blood vessels and nerve endings, making them highly sensitive to sexual stimulation. They can darken and swell when they are stimulated. The clitoris is the only sex organ who’s only known purpose is to experience pleasure. The clitoral shaft consists of erectile tissue that contains two spongy masses called corpora cavernous that will fill with blood and become erect in response to sexual stimulation. It is less apparent than the erection of the male’s penis. It has an indirect role in reproduction in that it is the female sex organ most sensitive to sexual sensation and thus a motivator of sexual activity. The vestibule refers to the areas within the labia minora that have the openings to the vagina and the urethra. It has a number of nerve endings and is very sensitive to tactile or other sexual stimulation. The urethral opening is where urine passes through after passing through the females. It is connected by a short tube to the bladder. You do not see an entire vagina; instead you see the vaginal opening. Its shape resembles that of the hymen. The hymen is a fold of tissue across the vaginal opening that is usually present at birth. The presence of a hymen is a proof of virginity and the absence of a hymen is evidence of sexual intercourse. The perineum is where the skin and underlying tissue between the vaginal opening and the anus. There are many nerve endings because stimulation of the area may heighten sexual arousal. The clitoral crura are wing-shaped, leg like structure that attaches the clitoris to the pubic bone beneath it. It contains corpora cavernous. The vestibular bulbs are on the clitoris at the top and go down along the sides of the vaginal opening. During sexual arousal blood congests the bulbs making the vagina longer and the vulva to swell. Both partners can be affected by this. Bartholin’s glands lie just inside the minor lips on each side of the vaginal opening. They create a couple of drops of lubrication right before orgasm. There are a few internal sex organs to a female body. The vagina extends back and upward from the vaginal opening. It is about three to five inches long when it is at rest. During sexual intercourse, the penis is contained within the vagina. During sexual arousal the vagina expands in length and width. The cervix is the lower end of the uterus. Its walls are much like the walls of a vagina. The cervix produces secretions that help keep the chemicals in the vagina in balance. Sperm passes through the vagina to the uterus through the cervical canal. The uterus, better known as the womb is the organ in which a fertilized egg implants and develops until birth. The fallopian tubes are about four inches in length and extend from the upper end of the uterus toward the ovaries. Women have two ovaries, they are in the shape of almonds and can be about 1 ? inches long. They are one either side of the uterus. They produce egg cells and the female sex hormones known as estrogen and progesterone. The penis is one of the external sex organs on the male. It is used in sexual intercourse. The penis is also a place urine comes from. Semen and urine pass out of the penis through the urethral meatus, meaning passage. The glans of the penis is extremely sensitive to sexual stimulation. The male internal sex organs include testes. The organs that manufacture sperm and testosterone. These tubes and ducts conduct sperm through the male reproductive systems. The testes are the male gonads. They serve two purposes. They secrete sex hormones and produce mature germ cells. Germ cells are also known as sperm and the sex hormones are androgens. Testosterone is the most important androgens. The vas deferens is a thin cylindrical tube about 16 inches long that serves as a conduit for mature sperm. Seminal vesicles are small glands which are two inches long. They open into ejaculatory ducts, where the fluids they secrete combine with sperm. The alkalinity in the prostate gland neutralizes some of the acidity of the vaginal tract. It prolongs the life span of sperm as it enters the females system. Cowper’s gland lies below the prostate and empty secretions into the urethra. During sexual arousal they secrete a drop or so of clear, slippery fluid that appears at the tip of the penis.
