I go to a small college (3,000), and our org. is about 30 people. We are having a comptetition for the best fundraising idea.
The best way is to get sponsors from businesses, like automotive, electronics such as makers of Ipods,DVD’s,Cell phones etc! Hot ticket items! Get the businesses to sponsor you and donate some of there products for raffling off! Business love tax right off’s for worthy causes.
Great fundraising ways to get the funds you would want, and would have a great turn out too! plus you could do many contest for prizes too! many fundraisers use bingo alot too!
Or you could have a all you can eat of pancakes, they go over very well! and bake sales! Using a few combinations will not only excite people of all ages but have a great turn out as well.
With many funds collected too! Just make sure it isn’t all set up for one certain age group! The more the merrier and success.

Henry Alfred Kissinger (born May 27, 1923) is a German-born American political scientist, diplomat, and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. He served as National Security Advisor and later concurrently as Secretary of State in the Nixon Administration.
A proponent of Realpolitik, Kissinger played a dominant role in United States foreign policy between 1969 and 1977. During this period, he pioneered the policy of détente. He negotiated a settlement ending the Vietnam War, but the cease-fire proved unstable and no lasting peace resulted beyond the pullout of the US troops.
Kissinger is still praised by colleagues today. He was honored as the first recipient of the Ewald von Kleist Award of the Munich Conference on Security Policy and currently serves as the chairman of Kissinger Associates, an international consulting firm. Kissinger was the “most frequent visitor” to the George W. Bush White House as an unofficial political adviser on Israel and the Middle East—including the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Kissinger is criticized and even accused of war crimes, most prominently by Christopher Hitchens, for the policies he promoted during the Vietnam war and for his role in the establishment of dictatorial regimes in Latin America.

I really want to work for a professional sports organization–like an NFL team. What kind of job would be available to me if I went to college for business administration? Or is there a better degree to get?
I have worked in sports ( and I graduated with a BBA- Marketing) and I will say you can obtain any front office job with the BBA degree. However, to work in the NFL you will need to work your way up, and it is a TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH job to work in.
You need to intern with a lower level sports team first and keep on getting experience and networking.
There are lots of competition for jobs and because everyone want to do it your salary will be quite low. Like in the range of $20,000 and you make end meet by selling tickets to events and sponsorship ( even though your job might not be sales)
I am not trying to scare you (because this is a very fun job to have) but please do understand you will have a tough life. Also, you might have to move a lot from one team to the other. So if you can’t do that don’t go into this industry.

My executive search firm is based in New Delhi. There are few organizations in Dubai that have approached us to recruit people for them. They will be hiring executives from India who would be given jobs in Dubai. My question is:
1. What are the things I should keep in mind while doing business with an organization who’s outside my country?
2. When making the contract, where should the jurisdiction fall should it be Dubai or New Delhi?
3. What kind of clauses should I enter in the aggreement to ensure a safe & smooth transaction?
4. How I can I ensure that I will be paid in the end for the services that I’ve delivered?
5. Is there a chamber of commerce in Dubai that can protect you?
6. Can i do some kind of credit check about this Dubai based organization?
7. Can any recruiter share a copy of a sample agreement?
In short, how do I go ahead and work with this company? What are the things I should keep in mind while making the contract? how does it guarantee that I’ll be paid in the end for the services delivered?
As a recruiter my suggestion is to post Jobs on http://www.naukrigulf.com/ as it is the only site dedicated to Jobs in Middle East, Dubai, & Gulf Region.
See why the “The Fifth Discipline” from Peter Senge is mandatory reading for every organization that wants to be a “learning organization”. In the 21st, learning organizations will dominate the landscape. Are you a learning organization?
See the example of M2MSys, which is a process re-engineering specialist for organization working in the complex markets such as healthcare and government (http://m2msysonline.com). The change is so intense, that we had to become ourselves a learning organization.
You can see, that as a result of being a learning organization, M2MSys was able to spin-off in a record time, a new organization, to deal with the same business challenges but in the cloud. You like to know to learn more on how to become a learning organization? Then check out 3WCloud (http://3wcloud.com/products)

I honestly believe that whatever business you do, if you hold one principle, this world would benefit alot from it. This principle is bring win win situations to both suppliers, and your employees. It is only through these, royalty and faith slowly develops.
Like food…when you say ur food is sugerfree or zero fat, MAKE it zero fat/sugerfree…suger is fat…
I believe the fundemental principal in business ethics is to be true to your workers, clients, and customers in all your actions. This is the only way to create a sustainable business that customers will love buying services/products from, workers happy working(with reasonable benefits).
My perspective on business ethics.
