From the Paper
"Upon graduating from college, electronics engineers normally are supervised by more experienced engineers and, in larger companies, receive more formal training or are part of an entry-level program specifically for their line of work. After a couple of years of experience, they will receive increasingly more difficult projects and greater independence to design, develop and solve problems. They may remain as independent contributors or advance to technical specialists or management of a staff or team of other engineers and technicians. Over time, they may become senior managers or enter another area, such as marketing, sales, or managerial support. Those with higher degrees may pursue a career in research and design."

Abstract
This paper explains that electronics technologies empower man to do things that were never imagined before such as completing advanced tasks faster and easier such as the automated teller machines (ATMs). The author points out that advances in the discipline of biomedical engineering have made the impossible "possible" by working closely with doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers to develop a range of computing, instrumentation, imaging and telemedicine equipment. The paper relates that electronic forms of learning, calls "e-learning", have evolved in different methods, which makes use of assisted programs and software in which the speed of teaching can be adjusted to the learning ability and speed of the learner and to physical impairments.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The truth that electronics aid humanity may be a subject for debate. However, it must be noted that nothing else may beat your doubt on electronics but the fact that we can derive from others' experiences that the technological advances in electronics really assist man in sustaining his life and surviving from the weaknesses of our physical body. More so, we may derive such information from our relatives and friends who may have experienced recovering from diseases with the aid of advanced biomedical machines, made possible by advanced electronics. Or, you can also ask this question to yourself to provide a view on how effective do you really believe can technology as applied in electronics will help, assist, and aid humanity?"

Summary
From the Paper
"The consumer electronics industry globally generated $175.7B in revenue in 2006, and is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 9% through 2011, when the global market will be worth $233.8B, an increase of 33% since the 2006 - 20076 timeframe (Aertsen, Versteijnen, 2006). The consumer electronics industry has seen a significant increase in demand for product and services being bundled together, as is the case in cable and satellite television services for example. For purposes of this report, the global consumer electronics market is defined as the sales of audio, video, and games console systems and products designed for consumer's use. The sales of video equipment form the most profitable revenue segment of the market, generating 74.2% of worldwide revenue (Aertsen, Versteijnen, 2006). Despite the industry being heavily concentrated in the U.S., where 38.5% of total sales are generated, the vendor base is highly fragmented."

From the Paper
"Lester Electronics, Inc., is a U.S.-based distributor of consumer and industrial electronic components, with annual revenues of $500 million. Since 1978, Lester has had a close partnership with Shang-wa Electronics, a Korean manufacturer of capacitors with $60 million in revenues. This partnership has consisted of yearly agreements for Lester to purchase a minimum of $1 million wholesale from Shang-wa, in return for rights to exclusivity. In recent months, informal discussion between the principals - Mr. Bernard Lester, CEO and founder of Lester, and Mr. John Lin, founder and CEO of Shang-wa - has involved the possibility of a $60 million joint venture in a yet-to-be-determined Asian country that would be designed to combine Lester's management expertise with Shang-wa's manufacturing efficiencies to produce components in the growing market for capacitors."

From the Paper
"Lester Electronics Inc. (LEI) is a world leader in capacitor manufacturing and distributing. The companies manufacturing plant is located in Korea and its distribution reaches the Americas, Europe, and Asia. With LEI being a household name, the company is responding to the increase in demand by more than doubling its production and opening a new plant. The new production facility will be located in the Middle East in an effort to increase its market share in that region. LEI is now setting its sights on Avral Electronics S.A. which is LEI's major competition in Europe."
