Bringing about fullness of life with care and compassion: Learnings from the social enterprise of the Good Shepherd Sisters

One of the principles of the Church’s social teachings is integral human development. In his encyclical, Populorum Progressio, Pope Paul VI stated that “authentic human development is the development of the whole human being and of all human beings.” The importance of individuals as human beings is also rooted in the conviction of St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier, foundress of the Good Shepherd Sisters, who kept reminding her daughters that “a person is of more value than the whole world.” The Integral Human Development Approach guides the business model of the Mountain Maid Training Center (MMTC) in Baguio, which is a food processing and income- generating enterprise operated and maintained by the Religious of Good Shepherd (RGS) in the Philippines. The enterprise brings into reality RGS’ mission by providing work to the economically disadvantaged, supporting the college education and technical training of the youth, and sharing the Word of God in many communities. In addition, MMTC forms its stakeholders into wholesome and morally upright individuals. Aside from skills development and training, MMTC also gives emphasis on developing good habits of industry, honesty, responsibility, teamwork, and commitment to duty. The business model of the RGS can provide an alternative management framework for business students and teachers, and entrepreneurs

Utilizing a customized questionnaire in gathering vital information for the study, 22 graduates belonging to four batches from AY 2006- 2010 were surveyed. The study revealed that majority of the graduates are young adults falling on the age bracket 20-30 years old; are single and are female and have attended 1 or 2 years of college and are shiftees from different degree courses. Graduates consider listening skills, competence in Human Anatomy, and transcription practice as most useful in their job. MT graduates are highly employable, mostly are hired as medical transcriptionists, some are call center agents and MT trainer. Strengths that were cited include on-line training, effective and efficient course delivery, the mentors and the school facilities. The non- USAge of foot pedals and the length and duration of the training are the perceived weaknesses. Recommendations on intensifying the marketing strategy for the program and for some modifications in the course flow and design are put forward

How Liberty Media can Improve Marketing Efforts for Formula 1

Abstract. Formula 1 has managed to keep many generations entertained throughout its existence. However, in the recent years, due to many factors such as the financial crisis, which discourages viewers to watch motorsport, and the owners not adapting a model that has been adapted by many other industries, has led to a decrease in viewership and popularity. Furthermore, Liberty Media’s takeover on Formula 1 means that the motorsport will and has seen many paradigms shifts in the motorsport and so far, there are countless ideas that are yet to be explored. This paper first analyses the Formula 1 industry using Porter’s Five Forces and discusses their role(s) and how they affect or are affected by the motorsports’ current issue. The paper will then discuss how increased efforts in esports, and social media may help Liberty Media to regain lost territory and attain higher viewership count than previous seasons. Furthermore, to be discussed, the current model of Formula 1 and how a revamping and switching to another model may just throw the motorsports into uncharted territories that has potential for growing motorsport and solve the motorsports’ current issue.Keywords: Formula 1; motorsport; social media; marketing; freemium model; esports; viewership; consumerism
