Competence management is seen as one of the most important sources for comparative strategic advantages. Especially in transformation economies like the Czech Republic, human resources have to be regarded as a key factor for current and future success of the economy. Therefore this article focuses on the external and internal drivers of change, influencing competence management and development in this country. The analysis shows that management competences are still in a building phase. Roughly 20 years after the great reforms, competence management shows first trends to increase market- and employee-orientation.

Whenever England goes up against Argentina, for example, that's not good. [Maradona]'s Hand of God, when the great Argentine's hand supposedly touched the ball before he scored, has not been forgotten, if only because it made the martyred English players more famous than if they'd won. A new problem is the Mexicans, who are rudely disdaining the U.S. for our loss to Iran (Iran!) at the last World Cup. But then the U.S. is catching up with Mexico in the quality of play, I'm told.
Of rowdiness among the fans, "It's mostly political," says Wayne Keller, general manager at [Finnegan]'s Wake. He's happy the Czech Republic has made it to the Cup this year, as has England, which will be fun for local fans. So has the United States, in the same group as the Czech Republic, Italy and Ghana, a li...

Perhaps the most intriguing question is what will become of Ski Rio? It reopened last season under the name Endless Blue Resort as a snow cat skiing operation with five casitas for lodging. The new Czech owners are not sure if they will function this winter on that basis. Casitas are available and the area offers great cross country skiing and snowmobiling. Call

What's the connection between the profanity rappers use in their songs and early African culture? There isn't one. As far as experts can tell, there were no curse words, as we understand them today, among the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt. This shouldn't be too difficult to fathom, for the very word "hieroglyph" itself means 'sacred, holy, or divine writings.' According to the book, The Egyptian Museum in Cairo: a Walk through the Alleys of Ancient Egypt (2005) by Abeer el-Shahawy, "The ancient [monotheistic] Egyptians called their language...'the divine words' or 'the words of the god'. The word hieroglyph comes from the Greek, and also means 'sacred writing'." As has been well documented, the core of Greek culture and philosophy are indeed African based. Understandably, "hieroglyph" wa...

The book doesn't follow a strict chronological line. Instead, it meanders from childhood to adulthood and back, with some side steps to tales about her relatives and a cherished friend or two. Telling the story that way makes sense-we don't necessarily think about our lives in a linear fashion. The chapters of a life and what is meaningful about your Aunt Sue, the time you spent at college or the relationship you have with your sister don't fit like pieces of a puzzle, although they interlock nonetheless. And that's the point of the book: Even when you know who shapes you and you've got an idea of how they've done it, it's already happened by the time you've figured it out. This realization, [Gail Caldwell] writes on the very first page, "is not the sorrow of hindsight but its music: Th...
