Toyota’s Sudden Acceleration
Sunday, March 14th, 2010
Toyota’s problems with sudden acceleration are well-known. Toyota has long been an icon of quality and efficiency in terms of its production and manufacturing standards. Thus, business schools and graduate business programs have often assigned Toyota as the topic for quality based research papers about such topics like the Toyota Production System or TPS or the lean manufacturing process. Additionally, business course research papers have focused on subjects like just-in-time or related processes that are utilized by Toyota to achieve its highly touted quality. Yet, the sudden acceleration issues that have been occurring over the past few years with some of its cars have done much to undermine the company’s sterling reputation for quality. These issues have also undermined the trust that the consumer had in the company as well as led to a devaluation of its products which harms consumers yet again because trade-in values have plummeted for Toyota products. Finally, Toyota’s handling of the situation has been the subject of much ridicule as well because has done nothing but attempt to deny that a problem exists and then only came to acknowledge them first as floor mat problems and then as mechanical issues in the gas pedal and finally it is being revealed that the real issue is likely the company’s electronics. Clearly these are complicated subjects and we have writers who are very knowledgeable in this subject area who can produce clear and articulate research projects from essays to dissertations related to Toyota’s quality problems.

College & Twitter
Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Some professors are finally beginning to see the light. While most colleges and universities and certainly most professors and faculty view technology as a threat, a brave few are promoting it as a means to improve the educational process and make the college or university experience more relevant for students today. An adjunct professor has just begun to incorporate Twitter into his class format by encouraging students in class to tweet notes back and forth which essentially creates another level of dialogue in the classroom. This method also encourages those who would not normally participate to begin to interact with their peers. However, there were of course some objections from the dinosaurs within the educational establishment who consider this strategy to be another opportunity for distraction. Of course, this possibility exists but just because the methodology needs to be improved does not mean that this is not an effective method to adapt, innovate and make more relevant the 21st century classroom.

Writing Help for EFL & ESL Students
Thursday, January 7th, 2010
EFL or ESL (English as a foreign language or English as a second language) requires a specific writing approach for essays, term papers, theses (this is the plural form of thesis) and dissertations. Firstly, non-native speakers of English often miss or misunderstand the nuances within English and English grammar which can be confusing for the initiated. China Doll Publishing has several experienced writers who have taught English internationally for several years and understand the difficulties that non-native speakers experience when entering English speaking college and university programs. We understand the various learning theories and techniques that non-native speakers of English are exposed to overseas and are able to incorporate these principles into the order taking process as well as the writing process:
*We have dedicated employees experienced with working with non-native speakers of English
*We have writers who can write in a clear and simple manner that matches with students whose first language is not English
*Writers understand how to match their writing style with that of the client’s writing style
*Our staff and support personnel are available around the clock–call, send an email, or IM and we will follow-up soon thereafter
EFL and ESL students who have to produce well-written and cogent essays, research papers, and dissertations are often at a disadvantage in the English speaking university system because professors often grade them more on grammar and diction than on content. This is a fundamental flaw in the Western education system because EFL and ESL students are expected to have native fluency relative to writing and this is extremely difficult unless one has been raised in the West.
