This style guide is an introductory wikibook for beginners who want to produce political messages in various media formats. It is not a rule book; rather, it is a set of guidelines to facilitate effective political communication. Its purpose is to bridge the gap between two distinct styles to create pragmatic, clear, and useful information to establish a consistent tone, style, and format between all of the messages you or your organization produces.

It is meant as a practical guide for anyone, regardless of political affiliation, and it is organized in such a way that a person new to political communication can learn to create convincing and thought-provoking op-eds, letters to the editor, press releases, social media posts, website content, and spoken messages.

The main thrust is to explore conceptual foundation, instructional design, delivery mechanisms, Crisis Management, and Benchmark proposals for high-performing Emergency Remote Teaching plans. Since the Pedagogical Approach of ERT is also based on Humanizing Pedagogy and Pedagogy of Care to adapt to student needs, some other aspects include assessing the system’s current digital infrastructure (internet, device access), student and teacher digital capabilities, and budget availability must be considered while adopting emergency remote teaching. This work will prepare the school, university, and college teachers to acquire 21st-century skills and competence along with technology-supported pedagogical innovations based on different technologies, digital tools, and techniques to enrich the emergence of remote teaching experiences.

This textbook is an introduction to Emergency Scene Management for teh firefighting profession.

EME 801 provides a broad introduction to global markets for crude oil and refined petroleum products, natural gas, and electric power. A major goal of the course is to help students understand how market design, market institutions, and regulatory structures affect firm-level decision-making in the energy industries and ultimately, how these decisions affect the functioning of energy markets and the prospects for alternative technologies.

Energy policy sits at the crossroads of science and policy. And now, energy and climate policy are inextricably linked; the policies we choose have very real consequences for our climate. This intersection of science and policy is chaotic and bustles with activity motivated by various competing (and conflicting) interests and factors. We must understand the motivations driving them and bridge the divides between our reliance on fossil fuels and our need to transition to less carbon-intensive and renewable alternatives. While the science and math behind these problems is often fairly straightforward, the politics and behavioral changes are not. Come stand at this busy intersection with us as we navigate toward progressive climate policy alternatives at all scales of governance!

What is energy? It's the hot in heat, the glow in light, the push in wind, the pound in water, the sound of thunder and the crack of lightening. It is the pull that keeps us (and everything else!) from simply flying apart, and the promise of an oak deep in an acorn. It is all the same, and it is all different. Sunshine and waterfalls won't start your car, and wind won't run the dishwasher. But, if we match the form and timing of the energy with your needs, all of these things could be true. Energy in a Changing World is about the full arc of energy transformation, delivery, use, economics and environmental impact, especially climate change.

El entorno empresarial permite analizar los factores exógenos y endógenos que influyen en la empresa y la actividad en la que se desenvuelve en el sector industrial, razón por la cual es necesario identificar los elementos del macro y micro entorno que inciden de forma positiva o negativa en la gestión empresarial. En ese sentido el ámbito legal es uno de los factores elementales que el Empresario debe considerar. El entorno empresarial y el derecho laboral son dos aspectos esenciales de la economía moderna que están estrechamente interconectados. El entorno empresarial se refiere a los factores externos que influyen en las operaciones de una organización, mientras que la legislación laboral regula la relación entre empleadores y empleados. Esta obra proporcionará una visión general del entorno empresarial y el derecho laboral, así como analizará los elementos necesarios para actuar de forma ética y legal en la gestión empresarial. El entorno empresarial está determinado por varios factores políticos, económicos, sociales, tecnológicos, ecológicos y legales que marcan el campo de acción de la gestión empresarial. Más aún en ámbitos de derecho laboral, los aspectos legales que intervienen en la relación entre el empleador y el empleado deben gestionarse conforme lo dictamina la normativa vigente, salvaguardando derechos y verificando el cumplimiento de obligaciones, pues el impacto del entorno empresarial en las organizaciones y sus operaciones puede ser significativo.

El entorno empresarial, la gestión del marketing y la forma de administrar empresas cambia de manera constante conforme el ambiente en el que se desenvuelve, razón por la cual es fundamental identificar una ruta de investigación que delinee el camino a seguir. Por esta razón es fundamental iniciar estos procesos desde la academia, pues un proyecto de grado es un aspecto crucial del desarrollo académico de los estudiantes que cursan estudios de pregrado o posgrado. Es una oportunidad para que los estudiantes demuestren su dominio de un tema en particular y muestren sus habilidades de investigación. En esta obra, discutiremos el propósito de un proyecto de grado, los pasos necesarios para desarrollar un proyecto exitoso y los desafíos comunes que enfrentan los estudiantes durante el proceso. Hay diferentes tipos de proyectos de grado, incluidos tesis, disertaciones, artículos académicos y proyectos finales; cuyos resultados y entregables esperados incluyen un informe escrito, una presentación oral y una defensa del proyecto, la finalidad es brindar acompañamiento en el proceso mediante la inclusión de elementos técnicos, dinámicos y rigurosos que permitan la generación de conocimiento emergente en el ámbito empresarial, incluyendo elementos reflexivos y prácticos que permitan aportar con rigurosidad académica y científica el desarrollo de trabajos de titulación y reformular la forma de trabajar y replicarlo en el ámbito laboral.

15.431 Entrepreneurial Finance examines the elements of entrepreneurial finance, focusing on technology-based start-up ventures and the early stages of company development. The course addresses key questions which challenge all entrepreneurs: how much money can and should be raised; when should it be raised and from whom; what is a reasonable valuation of the company; and how should funding, employment contracts and exit decisions be structured. It aims to prepare students for these decisions, both as entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. In addition, the course includes an in-depth analysis of the structure of the private equity industry.

This course clarifies key marketing concepts, methods, and strategic issues relevant for start-up and early-stage entrepreneurs. At this course, there are two major questions:

Marketing Question: What and how am I selling to whom?
New Venture Question: How do I best leverage my limited marketing recourses?

Specifically, this course is designed to give students a broad and deep understanding of such topics as:

What are major strategic constraints and issues confronted by entrepreneurs today?
How can one identify and evaluate marketing opportunities?
How do entrepreneurs achieve competitive advantages given limited marketing resources?
What major marketing/sales tools are most useful in an entrepreneurial setting?

Because there is no universal marketing solution applicable to all entrepreneurial ventures, this course is designed to help students develop a flexible way of thinking about marketing problems in general.

This course outlines the practical and tactical ins and outs of how to sell technical products to a sophisticated marketplace. How to build and manage a sales force; building compensation systems for a sales force, assigning territories, resolving disputes, and dealing with channel conflicts. Focus on selling to customers, whether through a direct salesforce, a channel salesforce, or building an OEM relationship.

This textbook is intended for use in introductory Entrepreneurship classes at the undergraduate level. Due to the wide range of audiences and course approaches, the book is designed to be as flexible as possible. Theoretical and practical aspects are presented in a balanced manner, and specific components such as the business plan are provided in multiple formats. Entrepreneurship aims to drive students toward active participation in entrepreneurial roles, and exposes them to a wide range of companies and scenarios.
