Embedded microcomputer controller application coverage is widespread, for example: Defense industry, aerospace industry, industrial automation, domestic electric appliances, vehicle with electronic, consumption electronic products and so on, embedded microcomputer relative and general computer difference, is essential and each different profession application unifies, must have the specialized ability, is more than outside the general computer's knowledge, researches and develops the personnel often is each application domain expert, also in accordance to uses the domain the difference, this industry fills is competing, the opportunity and the innovation, also belongs to a dispersion industry, even if has the mainstream architecture, but is in no way by the minority company or the product can corner the market. Taiwan electron industry's on middle and lower reaches supplies the chain to be complete, compares in the overseas manufacturer has the relative superiority, the prospects for development favors as before, in the terminal product system construction, the embedded microcomputer controller belongs to the spare part, the system assembles the entrepreneur extremely little to ford into the design and the manufacture, also, because its application stratification plane is broad, product and technical high dispersion, and few diverse and the guest makes the characteristic, suits the small scale highly specialized technology corporate growth. Because this industry has the quantity body to subscribe makes, diverse and so on characteristics few, regards as throughout in the electronic related industry the high value added the tally company market, in recent years the applied technology universalized gradually, the market joined in the numerous competitors competes the influence, the manufacturer faced with the impact and the growth pressure, in the past concentrated only ¡§the technology¡¨ and ¡§the quality¡¨ the maintenance, has been unable to satisfy multiplex the market demand; The management essence lies in the activity and the layout, how does the thorough analysis market understand the customer demand, utilizes the limited enterprise resources and the energy, the strengthened enterprise competitive power, the fixed industry trend of development, unifies the research and development, the manufacture closely and sells this tripartite core competence , draws up the best whole management strategy, is the operator urgently must understanding the answer. Goal of this research, in discussion case AWTech Corporation locates in the industry, its characteristic, present situation, the tendency and have the core competencies; After the analysis understood market, product and customer, induces case AWTech Corporation the resources and ability which has in this industry, the enterprise external environment opportunity and the threat with the enterprise interior superior inferiority, innovates and the unique way, draws up the effective feasible whole management development strategy, achieves the internationalization goal in the competitive market. The research the main conclusion is as follows: 1. The undertaking stage's success cannot guarantee that the future management can also succeed continually, essential consideration factors and so on environmental factor, market demand, product localization, customer behavior pattern, at the right moment revise transport business strategy and the development direction. 2. The strengthened company's core competencies, the centralized resources choose the realistic product and the market are the development direction, makes the most effective use the resources, and will complete the duty carries out accurately, gains the biggest benefit. 3. The internationalization operation viewpoint consideration, draws up the management development strategy, expands steady the enterprise domain.

The study reported in this dissertation compares the learning effectiveness of two experimental methods that can be used in the teaching of kinematics to Grade 11 learners in Physical Science. The first method is the conventional ticker-timer experiment, while the second utilises high-technology microcomputer-based equipment. The purpose is to make recommendations for improved teaching of basic kinematics concepts and graphs, which learners have difficulties with (Halloun & Hestenes, 1985; McDermott et al., 1987). A group of 48 Grade 11 learners from Thuto-Boswa Secondary School, Ventersdorp, were used in the empirical research. They were divided into two groups of comparable abilities. Group A used the conventional apparatus and group B the microcomputerbased apparatus. The results of the pre- and post-tests were analysed statistically to compare the learning effectiveness of the two methods in terms of the outcomes reached, the gains obtained as well as d-values. Three months after the experiments were conducted the learners were tested again to determine the long-term effect of the methods. Both groups obtained a gain of approximately 0,2 in the pre- versus post-test analysis. The literature (e.g. Thornton, 1998) reveals larger gains with microcomputer-based experiments. Three possible reasons that could contribute to this discrepancy were investigated, namely the learners' acquaintance with the microcomputer, the educator's experience with the apparatus as well as the learners' cultural background and language. All three these factors were found to have a detrimental effect on the learning effectiveness, especially with the microcomputer-based method. Recommendations are made in connection with the teaching of basic kinematics concepts and graphs to Grade 11 learners in South African secondary schools. In addition, it is emphasised that educators should be adequately computer literate before expensive high-technology equipment is purchased for classroom use. It is also pointed out that the implementation of the computer as teaching aid can be a first step to improve computer literacy of disadvantaged learners in our schools. / Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

O consumo domiciliar de microcomputadores cresceu de forma acelerado nos últimos anos. Apesar de grupos com determinadas características socioeconômicas terem um consumo maior de computadores, o consumo vem aumentando em todos os grupos. Ou seja, mesmo com diferenças grandes, o consumo de computadores não é mais uma exclusividade dos mais ricos, dos mais bem instruídos ou de determinadas regiões do país. Os modelos Probit e double-hurdle se mostraram adequados para analisar o consumo de computadores no Brasil. O modelo Probit ajustou bem os dados na análise da presença de um computador no domicílio. Já para a despesa com computador, o modelo double-hurdle se mostrou melhor que o modelo Tobit, uma vez que este separa a análise do processo de decisão de compra em dois, separando a decisão de gastar da decisão de quanto gastar. / Household consumption of microcomputers grew up fast in recent years. Despite some socioeconomic groups take highercomputer consumption, consumption is increasing in all groups. In other words, even with large differences, the consumption of computers is no longer uniqueness of wealthier, better educated or at certain regions of the country. Probit and double-hurdle models were suitable for analyzing the consume of computers in Brazil. The Probit model adjusted well the data set in the analysis of the presence of a computer at home. For the computer spending the double-hurdle model proved better than Tobit because separates the analysis of the purchase decision process in two, separating the decision to spend from the decision of how much spend.
