Acculturation is the exchange of cultural features that results when groups of individuals having different cultures come into continuous first hand contact; the original cultural patterns of either or both groups may be altered, but the groups remain distinc

A child may learn one or more traditions (multicultural family of immigrants) from birth, usually from the family (blood or adopted), in particularly the parents.

Thus, acculturation can be conceived to be the processes of cultural learning imposed upon minorities by the fact of being minorities. If enculturation is first-culture learning, then acculturation is second-culture learning. This has often been conceived to be a unidimensional, zero-sum cultural conflict in which the minority's culture is displaced by the dominant group's culture in a process of assimilation.

Cultural imperialism is the practice of promoting the culture or language of one nation in another. It is usually the case that the former is a large, economically or militarily powerful nation and the latter is a smaller, less affluent one. Cultural imperialism can take the form of an active, formal policy or a general attitude.

"ABC co."

ABC Co., a $600 million company, having a large customer base and vertically integrated was dealing in skin care products. In year 2005, it started losing its core strength i.e. a large
customer base. In CEO's point of view the main cause of the loss was internal organizational rather than external. The company wanted to pinpoint the specific problem and take corrective actions. Consultants were hired to find the reason and solve the problem of internal organizational issues and its consequences on customer base.

The problem was supposed to be attended very quickly; the researchers developed a theoretical base, collected relevant detailed information from a sample of 25 employees and 100
customers. The both researches were supposed to be carried side by side and the results were supposed to be merged for final conclusion. The results were expected to have 90% chance of success in problem solving. The consultants were required to recommend the solution on the basic of data analyzed by researchers.

To what extent this case meets the hallmarks of scientific investigation? Discuss.

Question: Given the weekly demand data, what are the exponential smoothing forecasts for periods 2-05 using a=0.10?

Week
Demand

825

3
760

4
650

5


 Note: Calculation along with the formula is required for each period's forecast. Students who give answers without calculation will be given low marks/no marks.


Ans

Formula
Ft= Ft-1 + a (At-1 – Ft-1)

Ft = Forecast value for the coming time period
F t−1 = Forecast value in 1 past time period
At−1 = Actual occurrence in the 1 past time period
α = Alpha smoothing constant


Week
Demand

=980+.10(980-980)
=980+.10 (0)
=980

=980+.10(825-980)
=980+.10(-155)

944.05
=964.50+.10 (760-964.50)
=964.50 +.10 (-204.5)
=964.50 – 20.45
=944.05

914.645
= 944.05+.10(650-944.05)
=944.05 +.10(-294.05)
=944.05 – 29.405
=914.645

We have already posted 2 solutions, this is another for ur help:

Assignment 1
Communication skill

Q1; Nature give us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak. Elaborate the statement with reference to the importance of listening skill?

Answer; Studies shows that 80 percent of  our waking hours communicating and at least 45% on listening. As a student average 53% walking hours spend on listening. Listening is the process by which spoken language is converted to meaning in the mind. Good listener become good communicator and skillful listener learn from others. Listening is an active search of meaning.

But although listening is so critical in our daily lives. It is more important from other three basic communication skills. Much of the trouble we have communicating with others is because of poor listening.


Q2; being the student of Virtual university, Point out what communication barriers do you face while watching the course lectures. Also suggest some ways through which these barriers could be reduced. Do remember that the barriers can be both from sender's side as well as from receiver's side?

Answer; when we listen our lecture we face following barriers in communication process.

Language difference; Our national language is Urdu and our lectures are in English sometime we face problem of language difference.

Inadequate vocabulary; Our education system is poor and our base is not good that's why inadequate vocabulary problem we faced.

Internet speed; I belong with rural area where internet speed is slow.

Noise and personal problems interrupt us durining listening lectures.

One lecture delivered for every kind of students but some are more intelligent then others it is also cause of poor interest in lectures.

Teachers not see us they can't know us and they have no knowledge about our education and mental caliper. That's why they send same lectures. It is difficult to understand for every student.

Suggestions

We wants that lectures are delivered in mix language which can be easily understand.

Sometime teachers use new words I want please give his explanation on the spot.

It is necessary for us, when we listen our lecture we close our room and listen with full consideration.

When make the polices must account that you have different type of students.

When we join university we meet one time with our teacher and introduce our self.
