After our sixth board meeting, we decided to select board agenda item four: Opportunity for strategic review and to raise capital as one of our four agenda items within the six items. We thought this agenda was beneficial because we can raise capital to invest into digital media business which was fit to our business plan. Also, this agenda associated with the core strategic issues to fund strategic growth. Therefore, we could grasp the opportunities to redefine our key businesses that can bring high margins in the next few years. Goold and Campbell(1994, cited in Johnson et al, 2011，p.254) present a parenting matrix that shows four kinds of businesses to fit with the parent corporation that can provide the benefits to the business units. If we look over our business activities we have done before, we can probably clear that our group has growth significantly via many acquisitions and alliances. For example, we have aligned in China and India to seek more profitable and increase the share price in accordance to satisfy our shareholders. So that we thought there was necessary to review these businesses and analyse whichever business we would not go along with. We should clear that our core business is provide our clients with the creation and innovative advertising. There was a possibility for us to raise capital and retain core businesses if we sell out one non-core business. In addition, Johnson et al. (2011, p.255) referred to some businesses may provide accessible to attract them so that those businesses can increase their values and capabilities. However, these ones themselves are difficult to fit and damage our strategic proposition. Thus, we agreed that we should consider processing this agenda. Agenda Option Chosen After g... ... middle of paper ... ...his option suggested that we should do nothing of strategic review and raise capital as it impacted the strategic process of the other subsidiaries. However, we did really need to raise capital in order to invest into digital media (such as we might focus on doing business in the emerging Asia Pacific markets as those have become more attractable and created profits for our shareholders.) in and our shareholders have concerned the returns as a result of we need to do better in our businesses therefore we should take selling one non-core business into account.

I attended a Board of Education meeting on May 3, 2017. The meeting had a published agenda that was available on the website ahead of the meeting. A press release of the meeting was sent to local newspapers and uploaded to the school districts website on April 27th. The meeting began on time and started with the pledge and the call to order. The meeting then went into closed session so the Board of Education members could speak with legal counsel. The meeting was then brought back to open session
that a school board has a fair amount of influence in a school district; however, it was not until I attended a meeting that I realized the extent that influence has in shaping a school. Prior to my attending a meeting, I had no idea what went on at school board meetings. My experience has taught me a great deal about the responsibilities of a school board, as well as how their enthusiasm and forward thinking have the ability to elevate a school to greater heights. A school board is a link that
On September 22, 2014, Wissahickon School District held a school board meeting to be updated on daily events or decisions in the community.

She informed us that basic education funding
School Board meeting on April 13, 2015. The meeting was held at seven, but I also attended a finance meeting at six. The meeting was held at the Administration center located on 15100 S 94th Avenue in Orland Park.

I was astonished to see how many members of the community actively participate and are present at the meetings. Education

successful education than that between a board and its superintendent (Kowalski, 2006).” The key to any successful relationship is getting to know one another. In order to do this you must begin with open and honest communication. Communication involves listening and learning as much, if not more so, than it implies talking. In developing a successful relationship with a new school board I would immediately begin setting up meetings with the individual board members so that I could get to know each

The two companies have picked Nashville, Tennessee as their desired location for a six-day planning meeting bringing together the upper management, which will now consist of 250 executives.

The Lack of Sex Education in Schools “Forty-one percent of teens ages 18-19 said they know nothing about condoms, and seventy-five percent said they know nothing about the contraceptive pill” (Facts on American Teens). Even if schools taught just abstinence it still would not be enough. “In 2007, a study showed that abstinence only programs have no beneficial impact on the sexual behavior of young people” (Facts on American Teens). Sex education is not taken as seriously as it should be in schools
