Due to the trend of economic globalization, the new challenge that companies are facing when pursuing growth is the need of internationalization talented persons. To maintain the best competitiveness of organization, the key point lies in looking for the most talented employee. How to choose talented persons multi-nationally and how to train internationalization talented persons is one of the keys for the existence of modern enterprises. The ¡§Expatriate¡¨ so called in this study means the one sent by the company to work in the country or area outside homeland. They are likely to be employees with the nationality of their parent company or third country. However, they must be the appropriate and trustworthy middlemen chosen by their parent company. How do enterprises choose such expatriates? What kind of characteristics should successful expatriates have in competence for their tasks? Herein, this study starts from personality and targets on expatriates to probe into the relationship among personality, cultural intelligence and entrepreneurship. The raw data for further research has 2 parts: pre-survey and formal survey. While Convenience Sampling Method was taken, the researcher picked particular interviewees, delivered the questionnaires, and invited for more interviewees to join. Since the objects are geographically wide-spreaded among the world, the survey forms were distributed through the Internet. 260 copies were sent, and 230 recovered. 88% recovery rate has been obtained. Through the statistics methodology, the variables were defined and calculated. The internal relationships among the variables were explored through tools of descriptive statistics, Pearson analysis, SEM model and Variance analysis. The conclusions are as following: 1. There is a positive and significant correlation between the personality and Cultural Intelligence. Stronger ¡§Extraversion¡¨ personality has highest CQ. Comes the ¡§Openness to Experience,¡¨ then the ¡§Agreeableness¡¨. 2. It is obviously positive and significant correlation between personality and entrepreneurship. People with strong ¡§Openness to Experience¡¨ attitude bear stronger willness and capability on entrepreneurship. Follows the ¡§Extraversion,¡¨ then the ¡§Agreeableness¡¨. 3. CQ is obviously positive and significant correlated to entrepreneurship. People with higher CQ bears better capability on entrepreneurship. 4. The study also discovered that the personality has obvious positive influence on entrepreneurship, directly and indirectly. That is, the personality of dispatched personnel would enhance individual entrepreneurship, via the interaction of higher CQ. 5. Personal attributes (e.g. gender, marital status, age, nationality, education level, reason for dispatch, company scale and industry nature) shall play a significant variant role as personality, CQ and entrepreneurship level.

<p>Branding of people is a relatively new concept within the branding area. This concept has grown rapidly and its importance is increasing. Our purpose of this thesis is to describe how a strong personal brand is developed and how it is sustained. We also want to highlight what factors that determine who will succeed to develop a strong personal brand and who will not and if the associations that other people have of you can be determined by the brand owner.</p><p>We have chosen to do a qualitative method by conducting interviews with five wellknown Swedish persons that we argue have or are beginning to develop strong personal brands within different areas.</p><p>The frame of reference consists of some concepts on traditional branding and models within the personal branding area. We found that the existing literature within personal branding was not sufficient to fulfil our purpose and therefore we have created a research model. The empirical findings are applied to the research model in the analysis.</p><p>We argue that the base to develop a strong personal brand is to truly know who you are and what you stand for. When you have a clear understanding about who you are, it is important to be consistent in the messages that you communicate in order to avoid confusion among other people. To have a strong personal brand, you also need to be well-known among more people than just your family and friends.</p><p>Personal branding is to a large extent about how other people perceive you and we argue that you can to some extent affect this image by being consistent and clear about who you are and what you stand for. People cannot see your thoughts, only your actions.</p><p>All people have a personal brand but we believe that the process to develop your personal brand depends on what goals you have with it and what you want to accomplish. All people do not gain anything by having a strong personal brand but we believe that all people can use some parts of the concept in order to know who you are and what you stand for.</p>

<p>Syftet med undersökningen är att ta reda på hur medvetna föräldrar på sju förskolor är om det pedagogiska arbetet i förskolan. Vi vill också ta reda på hur deras möjlighet till inflytande och delaktighet ser ut.</p><p>Våra frågeställningar är:</p><p>• Känner föräldrarna till att det finns en läroplan för förskolan?</p><p>• Synliggör personalen det pedagogiska arbetet för föräldrarna?</p><p>• Är föräldrarna nöjda med det pedagogiska arbetet i förskolan?</p><p>• Känner föräldrarna till vilka möjligheter de har att vara med och påverka förskolans pedagogiska arbete?</p><p>Vi har använt oss av enkäter riktade till föräldrar och personal för att få svar på våra frågeställningar. I undersökningen deltog 73 föräldrar och 35 personal. Resultaten visar att majoriteten av föräldrarna är medvetna om förskolans läroplan men att de inte är särskilt delaktiga när det kommer till att påverka det pedagogiska arbetet. Synliggörandet av det pedagogiska arbetet kan bli ännu tydligare och föräldrainflytandet kan utvecklas vidare. Både föräldrar och personal är sammanfattningsvis nöjda med verksamheten men uttrycker en önskan om färre antal barn i grupperna alternativt en ökad personaltäthet.</p>
