The author also does not explore the fact that the achievement of an accomplished man or woman has a clear connection to the personality of that person‚ thus leaving his generalisation incomplete. Let us consider the example of ancient India’s first emperor – Ashoka‚ the Great. Emperor Ashoka was the first to unite the Indian subcontinent under one rule. His empire extended from modern day Kandahar to Mysore in south India

One problem when conducting research into the causes of stress is the generalisation of the sample‚ if the sample is restricted; this has limitations in terms of generalising the results to the total population. In the study by Johansson‚ a sample of only 24 workers was used and from a specific job type. This sample is unreflective of all job types and is too small to be applicable to the general population. Conclusions made may only be relevant to this sample. However it could be argued that the

1 The Value of Synergy Aswath Damodaran Stern School of Business October 2005 2 The Value of Synergy Many acquisitions and some large strategic investments are often justified with the argument that they will create synergy. In this paper‚ we consider the various sources of synergy and categorize them into operating and financial synergies. We then examine how best to value synergy in any investment and how sensitive this value is to different assumptions. We also look at how this synergy value

or function. A true market segment meets all of the following criteria: it is distinct from other segments (different segments have different needs)‚ it is homogeneous within the segment (exhibits common needs); it responds similarly to a market stimulus‚ and it can be reached by a market intervention. The term is also used when consumers with identical product and/or service needs are divided up into groups so they can be charged different amounts. These can broadly be viewed as ’positive’ and ’negative’

There were two different types of stimuli‚ horizontal line and truck. The measured variable was the length of the altered stimulus as a percentage relative to the referenced stimulus. During the experiment participants had to change the length

What do theories of face perception tell us about object perception in general? Introduction Face perception is the process by which the brain and mind understand and interpret the human face. The cognitive and neural processes in face recognition differ greatly from those observed for object recognition. Both objects and faces are generally considered to be “viewpoint-dependent” meaning that performance in recognition is better when viewed from a familiar viewpoint. However when considering
