Boys and Girls Club kept me out of prison. It kept me focused in school and on life; and has made me a productive citizen in the society. (Boys & Girls Club alum) This qualitative study evaluated and compared the influence of the Boys & Girls Club and Keystone Club programs on alumni in regards to their career and life experiences. Data were collected through personal interviews of each alumnus in the study. Each interview focused on the alumni’s experiences and benefits gained in either the six core areas of the Keystone Club program or the five core areas in which Boys & Girls Club members participate. The researcher asked staff from the Bryan and College Station Clubs to identify alumni for whom they still had contact information and would be likely to participate. The researcher then used the naturalistic inquiry approach to gather information regarding the experiences and benefits of alumni’s participation in the Keystone Club and Boys & Girls Club programs. The sample of convenience included 14 individuals who had participated in either program in the cities of Bryan or College Station, Texas. The major findings of the study were as follows: 1) All Boys & Girls Club alumni and Keystone Club alumni learned leadership skills through their participation in the programs; 2) All Boys & Girls Club alumni and Keystone Club alumni learned to interact with various cultures as a result of their exposure to the programs; 3) A greater number of alumni from the Keystone Club described “goal setting” as a key lesson than did alumni from the Boys & Girls Club; 4) Alumni from the Keystone Club are more likely than the alumni from the Boys & Girls Club to give back to their community. Recommendations for the clubs include the implementation of community service projects in the Boys & Girls Club program as well as helping youth identify and set goals. For the Keystone Club program, a Job Shadow Day and a College Student Shadow Day were both recommended to help students identify future careers and explore higher education.

La empresa Diners Club Perú es una franquicia de Diners Internacional, la primera empresa en trabajar con tarjeta de crédito en el mundo, bajo el modelo de tarjeta de consumo que se conoce actualmente. Aproximadamente hace dos años fue adquirida por el Grupo Pichincha de Ecuador. En la Dirección completa de una tarjeta de crédito existen dos roles fundamentales: El emisor y el adquiriente: • El Emisor es aquel que efectúa la Dirección de la tarjeta frente al cliente, es decir, califica al cliente, genera la tarjeta, emite el estado de cuenta, cobra por el consumo efectuado al contado, en cuotas, retiros en efectivos, entre otros. Por este servicio cobra comisiones, una membrecía anual, entre otros. Otra función fundamente es la de pagar al adquiriente el importe de los consumos. En nuestro medio, por ejemplo todos los bancos son emisores. • El Adquiriente, es aquel que efectúa la Dirección frente al establecimiento donde el cliente paga con la tarjeta. Se encarga de calificar al establecimiento, contrata con él, autoriza la transacción (normalmente con el uso del POS) y se encarga de pagarle por los consumos que efectuó el cliente. Por estos servicios, el Adquiriente cobra a los establecimientos. En nuestro país este rol lo cumplen empresas como Unibanca y Procesos MC. Diners Perú es un caso particular, porque cumple con los dos roles Emisor y Adquiriente. Si bien cuenta con los servicios de Procesos MC para efectos de capturar las tramas de comunicación y uso de los POS, esto es solo un servicio técnico. El servidor de producción debe tener la capacidad de soportar el flujo de comunicación de la empresa con los establecimientos que requieren que se les autorice la transacción, así mismo se debe registrar cada transacción a detalle. El servidor contiene el núcleo de los procesos automatizados de la empresa. El servidor actual es un AS-400 5.4 de IBM y se requiere migrar a un servidor iSeries Power 7 con la versión del sistema operativo 7.1. Además de las transacciones de los consumos de los clientes, el servidor soportará la carga administrativa y comercial de la empresa, la cual es gestionada con programas desarrollados para el AS-400 en el lenguaje de programación RPG, con Store Procedures de la base de datos DB2 y con CLs que son scripts para efectuar ciertas tareas. Así mismo además de los sistemas nativos del AS-400 se cuenta con aplicativos desarrollados en lenguajes de programación con interfaces más amigables que se ejecutan de forma periférica al servidor, pero conectadas a este. / Tesis

Abstract Because of the health consciousness has been arising in the recent years, more and more people pay much attention to the approaches of health maintenance. Therefore, the modern people who are occupied with plenty of works form their exercising habits in the fitness club which gradually becomes a trendy fashion in leisure and entertainment. In order to understand the business management models of the fitness industry, this research firstly focused on reviewing various rationales and historical documents and based on these rationales to identify the key successful factors to the management of the fitness industry. According to the research results, the key successful factors to the fitness club management are the service quality, product innovation and the quality of financial report. Therefore, the owners of the fitness club should give more weight to these three successful factors when considering and forming the management strategies. I¡¦ve been participating in the management of the fitness club for many years and am very interested in the relationships among the service quality, product innovation, financial management and the key successful factors of the management of the fitness club. Hopefully, through this research paper, we can have more understandings in the present situation and the future of the fitness industry in Taiwan. Keyword: Fitness club, AHP, KSF
