Brand loyalty means that consumers have a special interest in a particular brand, so when they continue to purchase such products, they only recognize the brand, thus giving up the attempt of other brands. Brands can exceed the product life cycle and are an intangible asset. In this course Dr. Jagdish Sheth provides an explains Behavioural Theory Brand Loyalty amongst many others.

At the end of this module, you will be able to:​

-List the four sub-categories of behavioral theory,​

-Describe the habitual behavior as per Howard’s Theory, and

-Explain the there types of high-risk situations

Kurset tilfredsstiller Sjøfartsdirektoratets krav til opplæring gitt i forskrift 1. januar 2005 nr. 8 om arbeidsmiljø, sikkerhet og helse for de som har sitt arbeid om bord på skip (ASH-forskriften) § 2-6 og rundskriv datert 26.01.2022. "Veiledning til krav til opplæring om kjemiske lager for energi (maritime batterisystemer) om bord i norske skip".

Opplæringen av den som skal betjene, utføre inspeksjon eller vedlikehold av maritime batterisystemer i bruk om bord på skip, er en viktig forutsetning for å kunne utføre oppgavene på en sikkerhetsmessig forsvarlig måte.

Den som skal betjene, utføre inspeksjon eller vedlikehold av maritime batterisystemer i bruk ombord på norske skip skal ha

• opplæring tilpasset funksjon eller arbeidsoppgaver

• nødvendig praktisk opplæring i tillegg til den teoretiske opplæringen

• regelmessig vedlikehold av kompetanse

Målsetting

Opplæringen om maritime batterisystem skal inkludere

• risikoene og farene som bruk av maritime batterisystem representerer

• tilpasset sikkerhetsopplæring, framgangsmåter, planer og instrukser, herunder eventuelle sjekklister for å sikre maritime batterisystems tekniske tilstand og egnethet før bruk

• utstyrsspesifikk opplæring

Kompetansemål

Etter fullført opplæring skal den som skal lede eller utføre arbeidsoppgaver knyttet til å betjene, utføre inspeksjon eller vedlikehold av maritime batterisystemer

- kjenne til batterikjemi og de forskjellige typer battericeller

- kjenne til frekvensomformer

- kjenne til viktige tekniske begreper for batterisystem

- kunne redegjøre for farene knyttet til batterisystem i et sikkerhetsperspektiv

- kunne redegjøre for farene knyttet til ulike risikoer (temperatur, forgiftning og antennelse)

- kunne redegjøre for hjelpesystem

- kunne redegjøre for batterisystemets viktige og kritiske alarmer med tanke på mulig årsak til og konsekvens av alarmer

- kunne redegjøre for håndtering av farer og hendelser som kan oppstå i maritime batterisystemer

- kunne vurdere risiko knyttet til batterisystem individuelt og i samarbeid med andre

Minner på at i tillegg til dette kurset, alltid må være utført dokumentert opplæring på batterisystemet ombord i det skipet man arbeider på i forhold til den enkeltes arbeidsoppgaver. Siden det er forskjellige batterisystemer og løsninger på forskjellig skipstyper så er denne dokumenterte intern opplæringen veldig viktig å gjennomføre og ikke minst dokumentere.

With the chaging markets and customer needs, there has been a lot of change in the companies missions and hence the leadership styles. Modern leaders don't only tell people what to do, but they now also listen, collaborate, and encourage growth among their team members. In this course Dr. Jagdish Sheth discusses how a good leader is ever evolving.

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

Explain the changing role of business when it comes to generating shared value.​

Understand why we are all fishes in a digital bowl.

One of the key responsibilities of a leader is to assess team members on a regular basis. These might include post-project reviews, annual or quarterly performance evaluations, and in-the-moment feedback.  

Organizations use different parameters and tools to assess their employees. The assessments used are based on functional goals, developmental goals, innovation goals, stretch goals, or any other goals customized to the organizational needs. Irrespective of the tools you use, when it is time to assess your employees, do you rely on the data or by your perception of the person?  

As fair and factual as you believe your assessments are, you might actually be guilty of some “rater biases” that can skew your evaluations. 

• Assess if you are too lenient or halo in your evaluations 

• Find whether your evaluations are based on recency or similarity 

• Examine if you are driven by contrast or negative bias 

• Identify the central tendency and employ a technique to be objective during your evaluations
