Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in today's global business environment, companies have unprecedented access to markets around the world. The writer points out that though there are many advantages to globalization, companies must be prepared for the challenges that it presents as well. The writer maintains that in order for a company to succeed in a global market, a company must develop and follow a carefully planned strategy. This involves three challenges that are associated with a global market: building customer loyalty, retaining intellectual property rights and securing information systems. This paper explores the importance of these top business challenges and suggests methods by which companies can overcome them.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The main goal of implementing a customer loyalty program is to prevent a company's existing customers from turning to its competition. The objective of any loyalty solution is to treat customers as if they are truly cared about and provide them with the products and services they seek at the right time and at the right place. With so many purchasing options, customers are savvy enough to detect a company with sub-par service and do not tolerate it."
"Every customer loyalty initiative should start on the front line with the customer service department, since they are in contact with customers on a daily basis. A business should employ a consistent customer service strategy that ensures that each customer receives a positive experience with the company. Customer service representatives must be empowered to not only answer inquiries and close sales, but to build customer relationships. To effectively create relationships with customers, representatives must be equipped with CRM databases to know the customer's history and provide the most relevant offer, have the authority to make business decisions in the best interest of the customer, and be enthusiastic to establish a genuine bond with the customer."

Abstract
The following paper will look at the challenges women face in the twenty-first century workplace. The place will look, first and foremost, at the absence of childcare facilities for working moms and the pressure this creates; the paper will also look at the strain that invariably attends being a pregnant woman working in a job where insufficient accommodations have been made to reduce workload and stress. From there, the paper explores the sensitivity women have towards unsafe working conditions, the apparent susceptibility of women to job-related stress (at least in one high-stress occupation)and it is duly noted how a hostile work environment(particularly in fields men have traditionally dominated) can increase stress in women who find themselves in the uncomfortable role of trail-blazers. Last of all, the obstacles women face in the industrial setting will be explored - though it does not automatically follow that women are universally more vulnerable than men when it comes to suffering work-related injuries in jobs requiring heavy physical labour. In any case, the challenges women face today are less than they were a couple of generations ago - but there are still impediments to female workers finding the workplace a congenial and secure environment wherein they will have access to the support systems they need.

Abstract
This paper discusses the three greatest challenges facing democracy in the United States today, namely, the Tyranny of the Majority and the violation of Civil Liberties; an Undemocratic Constitution and An Undemocratic Electoral System; and an Overwhelming Executive Power. The writer examines why these challenges have arisen, and looks at possible solutions.

From the Paper
"All three of these challenges have arisen because of the inclination of rank and file conservatives to blindly support conservative politicians, the contempt of conservative politicians for democratic principles of government, and a mass media owned and controlled by conservatives who share the same ideological world view as conservative politicians."

Abstract
The paper argues that several serious challenges - unimaginative policy-makers, an unwieldy bureaucracy, imperfect human resources management, the need for international collaboration in a day and age when America is deeply unpopular around the world, the unfortunate tend towards the politicization of intelligence-gathering activities, and slovenly knowledge management - must be overcome within the next few years if American interests are to be well-served by those entrusted with accumulating information on the country's enemies and with formulating strategies for overcoming those enemies. The paper contends that all of these challenges - if taken as a collective - can lead to a paralysis of the intelligence community that might prove, quite literally, deadly. The paper emphasizes that "thinking outside the box" and modern management techniques are absolutely needed.

Abstract
The paper examines challenges facing the United States as it relates to China as an emerging global economic superpower, as well as challenges facing the United states in the Middle East, and in particular, in Iraq during the U.S. occupation and democratization of that country.

From the Paper
"According to several documents published on the official website for the United States Department of State, the United States faces challenges in a post-cold war era in various parts of the world. In congressional testimony by John D. Negroponte, Deputy Secretary of State, Mr. Negroponte stated that one of the Bush Administration's major foreign policy objectives is to engage with an increasingly influential China to positively affect choices that China's leaders make in ways that serve international order and global stability as well as U.S. interests."

Abstract
The following paper will look at twentieth century Canadian working class history with an eye towards exploring the challenges facing women in Canada's workforce. In particular, the next several pages will look at the historic attitudes which kept women out of many jobs and time will also be set aside to looking at the difficult job positions and work conditions - often tenuous, rarely well-paying - that women were forced to accept if they wanted paid employment. The essay will then examine the hostility which is also prevalent (or can be prevalent) in non-traditional sectors when women start intruding upon a space that has always been, definitively, male. From there, a significant portion of time will be devoted to highlighting how Canada - despite its public proclamations to be an enthusiastic supporter of women's rights - has done little to help busy professional women balance a career and the chores of being a mother. Last of all, the paper will conclude by underlining the simple, yet unpalatable, fact that sexist attitudes and stereotypes continue to pop up in the Canadian workplace (and in Canadian public life) despite vigorous efforts to stamp them out. In summation, the things that are holding Canadian women back today are attitudinal, cultural and - given the absence of appropriate day care centers - structural. Until these matters are addressed, women will continue to struggle without success to achieve full equality with men.

Abstract
While completing graduate study, one of the major challenges for future nurses is to be as fully prepared as possible to enter the nursing profession. Critical thinking, problem solving complex patient situations, developing leadership and delegation skills, and justifying nursing care decisions are expected of nurses, so nursing students must focus not only on studying nursing profession texts, they must also develop related skills which will enable them to exhibit leadership, delegate authority, and fulfill the administrative tasks required in the nursing profession.

Abstract
This paper reviews Drucker's book on management challenges. The paper details the focus of Drucker's book and the change management techniques described by Drucker that are designed to deal with unpredictable and global and competitive changes.

From the Paper
"As is suggested by the title, Peter Drucker uses this book to explain how and why management will be challenged by the "brave new world" of economics and business we are facing in the 21st century. Many management paradigms (defined as "basic assumptions of reality a social science or discipline focuses on) are going to either be flexible enough to change in a faster paced and dynamic environment facilitated by ever-increasing advances in information and other technologies, or they will need to be abandoned completely."
