It is one of the oldest JVs by a Western company in China, having been established in 1985; the Chinese partner was the Shanghai Automotive International Company (SAIC). As econd JV was established with First Automotive Works in 1987, in the city of Changchun. Between them, these two JVs gave Shanghai Volkswagen a powerful presence in the market.Growth was slow at first, as there were few roads, few petrol stations and few people with the disposable income to buy a private car.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Instead, Shanghai VW’s managers concentrated on two markets; government car fleets and taxis. They were highly successful in both cases. The red Volkswagen Santana became a feature of Shanghai’s streets, and there were sales in other cities too. In 2000 the Santanas were replaced by Passats, a European design but made locally in China by the joint ventures. In 2000, Shanghai VW manufactured 53 per cent of all the cars sold in China.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;However, its very success in these fields became Shanghai VW’s undoing. The newly affluent middle classes in China could now afford private cars, and they did not want a brand that had associations with either taxis or the cars used by civil servants. It was estimated that by 2004 there were 60 million people in China with the means to buy and run a private car, and they were not buying Volkswagens. Other competitors were crowding in. General Motors launched a joint venture in Shanghai in 1997, and its Buick brand became popular almost at once. Honda, Toyota and Peugeot were also on the scene with joint ventures or subsidiaries of their own.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;More critically, the domestic car industry was surging, and local brands like Chery, Lifan and Geely were cheaper than cars made by the joint ventures. Chery’s QQ micro-car, costing the equivalent of around $4,000, sawsales increase by 130 per cent in 2006. Altogether, the Chinese brands had taken 28 per cent of the market by 2006, and Japanese imports another 27 per cent. Meanwhile, Shanghai VW had seen its market share slide from over 50 per cent in 2000 to just 15 per cent in 2005.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In October 2005 Shanghai VW announced a programme aimed at recovering its old dominant position. The plan was to roll out at least ten new models, aimed specifically at Chinese consumers, with the first to go on show by the opening of the Beijing Olympics in 2008. At the same time there would be a radical shake-up of its cost structures and supply-chain operations, including re-negotiating the two JV contracts to reflect the realities of the new situation. In particular, Shanghai VW wanted its two JV partners to collaborate more closely with each other in order to achieve ‘synergy’. This was a very ambitious programme, and not all observers believed Shanghai VW could achieve its goals in the short time it had allowed itself.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://draft.nqbao.com/post/18135098942</link><guid>http://draft.nqbao.com/post/18135098942</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Feb 2012 00:14:49 +0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Framing Effect</title><description>&lt;p&gt;The framing effect, one of the cognitive biases, describes that presenting the same option in different formats can alter people&amp;#8217;s decisions.

Đối với nhà báo, chắc phải ngạc nhiên, nên con số này mới xuất hiện trong một bản tin của báo.  Nhưng đối với những người bình tĩnh, vấn đề đặt ra là con số này có làm chúng ta ngạc nhiên không?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Ngạc nhiên hay không có thể trả lời qua lí giải thống kê.  Giả thuyết đặt ra là xu hướng tử vong vì tai nạn giao thông trong 9 ngày đầu năm Nhâm Thìn tương đương với số tử vong trung bình hàng năm.  Để kiểm định giả thuyết trên, chúng ta cần xem xét 2 nguồn dữ liệu: Con số tử vong trung bình cả năm, và con số tử vong “quan sát” được trong 9 ngày đầu năm.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Về dữ liệu thứ hai, theo báo chí, mỗi năm có trên 14,000 ca tử vong vì tai nạn giao thông ở Việt Nam.  Như vậy, tính trung bình, mỗi ngày có 14000/365 = 38 người tử vong (1).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Chúng ta đã có dữ liệu đầu: trong 9 ngày đầu năm, chúng ta quan sát được 326 ca tử vong (2).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Vấn đề đặt ra là số tử vong trong 9 ngày đầu năm có thật sự đáng ngạc nhiên.  Nếu tỉ lệ tử vong trung bình cả năm là 38/ngày, thì trong 9 ngày chúng ta kì vọng có 9 x 38 =  342 ca.  Nhưng trong thực tế, chúng ta quan sát 326 ca, tức thấp hơn trung bình. Do đó, con số 326 ca tử vong không có gì đáng ngạc nhiên trong tình trạng tai nạn giao thông hiện nay.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://draft.nqbao.com/post/17209696232</link><guid>http://draft.nqbao.com/post/17209696232</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:34:57 +0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Mặc dù vậy, hầu hết tài sản của Zuckerbeg đều chỉ đang tồn tại trên giấy.

&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Large class&lt;/em&gt;: a &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_%28computer_science%29" title="Class (computer science)"&gt;class&lt;/a&gt; that has grown too large. See &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_object" title="God object"&gt;God object&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Too many parameters&lt;/em&gt;: a long list of parameters in a procedure or function make readability and code quality worse.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Feature envy&lt;/em&gt;: a class that uses methods of another class excessively.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Inappropriate intimacy&lt;/em&gt;: a class that has dependencies on implementation details of another class.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Refused bequest&lt;/em&gt;: a class that &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_overriding_%28programming%29" title="Method overriding (programming)"&gt;overrides&lt;/a&gt; a method of a base class in such a way that the contract of the base class is not honored by the derived class.

&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lazy class / Freeloader&lt;/em&gt;: a class that does too little.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Contrived complexity&lt;/em&gt;: forced usage of overly complicated &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_pattern_%28computer_science%29" title="Design pattern (computer science)"&gt;design patterns&lt;/a&gt; where simpler design would suffice.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Excessively long identifiers&lt;/em&gt;: in particular, the use of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_convention_%28programming%29" title="Naming convention (programming)"&gt;naming conventions&lt;/a&gt; to provide disambiguation that should be implicit in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_architecture" title="Software architecture"&gt;software architecture&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Excessively short identifiers&lt;/em&gt;: the name of a variable should reflect its function unless it&amp;#8217;s obvious.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Excessive use of literals&lt;/em&gt;: these should be coded as named  constants, to improve readability and to avoid programming errors.  Additionally, literals can and should be externalized into resource  files/scripts where possible, to facilitate localization of software if  it is intended to be deployed in different regions.&lt;/li&gt;

Một hôm con của ông lão dẫn ngựa ra gần biên giới cho ăn cỏ, vì lơ đễnh nên con ngựa vọt chạy qua nước Hồ mất dạng. Những người trong xóm nghe tin đến chia buồn với ông lão.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ông lão là người thông hiểu việc đời nên rất bình tỉnh nói: - Biết đâu con ngựa chạy mất ấy đem lại điều tốt cho tôi.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vài tháng sau, con ngựa chạy mất ấy quay trở về, dẫn theo một con ngựa của nước Hồ, cao lớn và mạnh mẽ.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Người trong xóm hay tin liền đến chúc mừng ông lão, và nhắc lại lời ông lão đã nói trước đây.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ông lão không có vẻ gì vui mừng, nói: - Biết đâu việc được ngựa Hồ nầy sẽ dẫn đến tai họa cho tôi.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Con trai của ông lão rất thích cỡi ngựa, thấy con ngựa Hồ cao lớn mạnh mẽ thì thích lắm, liền nhảy lên lưng cỡi nó chạy đi. Con ngựa Hồ chưa thuần nết nên nhảy loạn lên. Có lần con ông lão không cẩn thận để ngựa Hồ hất xuống, té gãy xương đùi, khiến con ông lão bị què chân, tật nguyền.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Người trong xóm vội đến chia buồn với ông lão, thật không ngờ con ngựa không tốn tiền mua nầy lại gây ra tai họa cho con trai của ông lão như thế.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ông lão thản nhiên nói: - Xin các vị chớ lo lắng cho tôi, con tôi bị ngã gãy chân, tuy bất hạnh đó, nhưng biết đâu nhờ họa nầy mà được phúc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Một năm sau, nước Hồ kéo quân sang xâm lấn Trung nguyên. Các trai tráng trong vùng biên giới đều phải sung vào quân ngũ chống ngăn giặc Hồ. Quân Hồ thiện chiến, đánh tan đạo quân mới gọi nhập ngũ, các trai tráng đều tử trận, riêng con trai ông lão vì bị què chân nên miễn đi lính, được sống sót ở gia đình.&lt;/p&gt;
