LAYOUT TALK Business Ethics
Source: Buzzle.com For a business to achieve long-term profits, customer relationship is of utmost importance. To gain a longterm relationship with c u s t o m e r s a n d a c h i e ve customer return for the business, the business needs to be based on ethics. The trustworthiness of a business, its customer service, its customer care, its way of dealing with customers and its urge to retain their old customers, is a part of the business ethics. Business ethics leave a long-lasting impression on the customers and the impression on their minds builds trust, fetching a business more customers while retaining the older ones. Most of us are concerned about making money for our business and we cater to the legalities in business. But we seldom bother to base our business on ethics. At times, ethical duties of businessmen and project managers could be more abiding than even the business laws. Ethics is a farreaching concept and goes beyond the idea of making money legally. Ethical values are way ahead of earning money. Ethics is more about earning long-lasting relationships in business.

MIND WORKS-15 LEARNING TECHNIQUES – For the Benefit of Students By Prof UK Athikkal ---------
Anxious days for students are ahead. Examination season is fast approaching. Higher aspirations to score maximum marks in the chosen field of study and their anxiety to live up to the expectations of their parents and other well wishers add to their examination tension. We shall therefore have a serious look now at the most effective learning techniques. First of all do create good study habits. If the existing habits are not effective have the courage to admit it yourself. Decide to change . For changing habits it is necessary to have will power and determination. Regular practice on a daily practice for a minimum period of 21 days is helpful to get this habit programmed in your neurology so that you will be able to stick on to the schedule without much conscious effort. Given two students with equal memory ability and intelligence level, the one with better study habits will probably perform better in school. Two of the important techniques that would help in this regard are outlined below. (1) Scheduling : - As a regular habit, begin setting up a schedule in which you would identify the time for studying, when you are most alert and motivated. It could be early morning, in the late afternoon or at some other time. The place identified should be a quiet, comfortable place free from distractions. (2) U s i n g S Q 3 R methodSQ3R stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review. This method has been found helpful to students. It requires elaborate rehersal in which you process information at a relatively deep level. This is different from rote memorization, in which information is processed at a relatively shallow level. If you have ever found yourself studying for hours yet doing poorly in exams, it might be the consequence of failing to use elaborative rehearsal. The following are the steps to be followed in detail.
First, survey the main headings and subheadings, to create an organized framework in which to fit the formation you are studying. Second, as you survey the sections ask yourself questions to be answered when you read them. Third, read the material carefully, train to answer your questions as you move through each section.In memorising new terms you might find it especially helpful to say them out loud. A study found that subjects who read them silently, wrote them down or heard them spoken by someone else. Fourth, after reading a section recite information to see whether you understand it. Do not proceed to the next section until you understand the one you are studying. Fifth, perodically review the information in the entire lesson by quizzing yourself on it and then read again anything you fail to recall. Few more techniques will be of assistance for effective learning.One is studying the material over and over, ie over learnig to improve retention.The other technique is to use distributed practice instead of mass practice. The advantage of distributed practice over mass practice is especially important in studying academic material. If you can devote a total of four hrs to study a chapter, you could be better off studying for one hour on five different occassions than studying for four hours on one occassion. You might recognize this as a suggestion to avoid 'cramming' for exams. Organizational of text materials is another method to improve retention. One proven technique consists of organizing materials in memory as it is been read for the first time. To do this you should first identify any advance information about structure and content of the material scanning by using the table of contents, chapter outline and headings. Another tecjnique in this direction is organization of lecture notes. “Less is more” is perhaps the best advice for taking notes that aid in recall. Rather than trying jot down every detail of lecture, it is better to listen and think about the material, taking down, the main points after you have considered them in a broader context. In effective note taking thinking about the material initially is more important than writing it down. This is one reason that borrowing someone else's notes is a bad proposition; since you have no framework in memory to use in understanding them.

that the International Cricket Council (ICC) handed down an immediate suspension on the regular skipper Dhoni for India's slow over rate in the second one-dayer against Sri Lanka. Virender Sehwag stepped in to captain India in two oneday internationals and helped India win both the matches. The question arises in the minds of many cricket lovers if Sehwag could be a better captain. The message is that Sewag has certainly improved as a captain and he can deliver better results for India in the future.
