The advertising campaign is essential for any company because showing outstanding qualities of products or services helps make the customer interested in them. Today technical advances allow the advertisement to come directly to its target audience, appearing on their computer screens and attracting their attention. However, consumers often do not realize the pitfalls of what they are going to buy, which seems unethical on the companies’ part. One of the biggest trends in the modern world is healthy nutrition. Many companies worldwide benefit from promoting products that can help people reduce weight or stay in shape, and Herbalife is not an exception. It was founded in 1980 by Mark Hughes, who actively targeted the audience by visiting potential customers and hosting TV programs where he told the audience how Herbalife production could change their life. However, he did not concentrate on the ingredients leading to promised results. It turned out that until 2002 the original Herbalife products had contained ephedrine, which was later banned by the FDA (Enders, 2021). Moreover, they used many GMOs, artificial sweeteners, and toxic emulsifiers harmful to people (Enders, 2021). Scientific studies have been conducted throughout the world because of the hepatoxicity linked to the consumption of Herbalife products (Enders, 2021). Although it was not proved, it remains a fact that many consumers complained about liver problems provoked by these products. It leads to a conclusion that the customers’ awareness about ingredients and side effects should be prioritized. Advertising is always based on manipulating the customers’ feelings and desires, which is accepted in society as a necessary part of business strategy. However, hiding the truth about the product or service and its potential danger is unfair. People often tend to buy something under the influence of fashion, which can lead to bad outcomes. Thus, it is a moral duty of companies to let their consumers know all risks so that they can make a conscious decision. Reference Enders, M. (2021). Is Herbalife good for you. HESCA. Web.
Abstract This paper examines the issue of long term sustainability for nonprofit organizations (NPOs) within the U.K. and how new operational models and methods of funding are needed in order to ensure the viability of such organizations in the long run. What was seen was that while the current operational models of U.K. based nonprofit organizations were capable of addressing the needs of the various population sets that they were providing aide to, numerous inside sources within such organizations, as well as relevant literature on the issue, reveal that due to the currently constrained nature of global financial markets as a result of a variety of external issues (i.e. low U.S. consumer demand, the European debt crisis, the general slowdown of the global economy etc.) sources of funding have been harder to come by. As a result, this has hampered the ability of such organizations to continue to utilize the full gamut of their services due to the necessity of having to maintain even basic operations. Further examination into U.K. based NPOs reveals that while they have embraced internet-based technology in branding efforts (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, having their own website etc.) and “spreading the word” so to speak, they have neglected to take into consideration new methods of internet-based crowd-sourced funding from which they could possibly derive new charitable donations. This particular aspect was revealed through the various interviews conducted by the researcher in which methods of funding and how operations are conducted were revealed. It was noted that while NPOs were cutting back on particular services and personnel they were not doing so in a way that conformed to the concepts of sufficient leadership, adaptability and program capacity wherein the prevailing notion of “the old ways are best” was endemic within the industry. Introduction The 2008 financial crisis and the current economic recession brought about by the European debt crisis, low consumer spending from the U.S. and volatility within financial markets has created a situation that has made the issue of sustainability all the more relevant for nonprofit organizations. From the point of view of Pyper (2007 p. 10), nonprofits are just like any other organization that wrestles with the concept of funding and continuing to improve their services, however, unlike “for-profit” companies and organizations, nonprofits, as indicated by their namesake, work under an operational model that eschews the concept of profit for the sake of providing specific products or services to particular population sets (ex: helping the urban poor, providing free medical care and counselling services, watchdog organizations etc. (Pyper 2007, p. 10). The inherent problem with this operational model, as indicated by Weerawardena, McDonald & Mort (2010 pp
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which an authentic Montessori math environment is compatible with the conventional math classes in order to satisfy the needs of all learners. The study was conducted in a Catholic school, which is privately owned and is located in Campbell, California. The participants included 14 12-year-old students who came from middle and upper-middle class families. The data collection methods included formative assessments; formal and informal observations; focus group discussions; and verbally administered questionnaires and interviews. The results indicate that learning improved significantly after the introduction of Montessori materials. The students became more independent and willing to study mathematics. Some of the students’ skills that improved include listening, handling hands-on materials, exploring, asking questions, thinking, and visualizing mistakes. Based on these findings, my conclusion is that an authentic Montessori program should be used to teach mathematics in order to enhance learning outcomes. Action Plan The purpose of this research was to investigate the compatibility of an authentic Montessori environment with the conventional mathematics classes. The results of the study indicate that using an authentic Montessori program enhances the learning of mathematics among children. The conclusions of the study highlight the need to change the conventional math programs and to focus on further research in order to enhance the application of Montessori math programs. In a nutshell, Montessori math programs not only improves students’ performance, but also gives educators an opportunity to develop better instructional and assessment methods. Based on these findings, it is apparent that Montessori programs should be adopted in schools to improve instructional methods and learning among children. As a Montessori teacher, I intend to use the findings to improve my teaching strategies and to identify the aspects of learning that require further research. The implication of the findings to students, researchers, me, and other Montessori teachers can be explained as follows. The findings of this action research is important because it will enable me to improve learning outcomes in my schoo
One of the options for promoting Tumi bags at the NFL is to provide products to individual teams with a high rating and fame. When players go to competitions and participate in press conferences, they are in sight and accompanied by photographers and fans. In case athletes use Tumi suitcases as hand luggage, this will attract public attention to the brand and will increase sales due to people’s imitating their sports idols. Moreover, providing bags to the whole team will create confidence among the population in the reliability of the product and its convenience. The signing of a contract should be on mutually beneficial terms, and deductions from sales will pay off due to high customer interest in the brand. Thus, the creation of the Tumi image at the NFL may be achieved through public advertising due to athletes’ activities. Another possible variant of the successful promotion of the product in question at the NFL is conducting entertainment advertising projects. During breaks between periods, specially trained animators can offer fans shows in which Tumi bags will be involved. Despite the frivolity of such projects, this can make it possible to achieve wide brand recognition, and most football fans will associate these products with sports matches. As a result, Tumi bags can become the essential symbols of seasonal games, and people of different ages will be able to recognize these products and pay attention to them. Moreover, bag advertising can be included in flyers and booklets promoted during games and distributed in stadiums. These initiatives will allow reaching a large percentage of potential consumers and help ensure brand awareness through its association with NFL games. As one of the most successful strategies for promoting Tumi bags at the NFL, advertising this brand at major sporting events may be applied, for instance, at the Superbowl. Despite the fact that this is only one game, the preceding and subsequent celebrations are large-scale and attract a large number of fans. If visual advertising appears on the scoreboard and banners during breaks, the public will notice it and pay attention. In addition, if marketers connect the advertising campaign with the Superbowl directly, for instance, create an appropriate slogan and holiday design, this will be an additional factor that may allow focusing on the role of the brand in the sporting event. Therefore, even a short advertising campaign can be a significant incentive to increase brand recognition if the idea of ​​promotion is implemented as part of the major match that attracts thousands of people. Finally, another possible way of advertising Tumi bags directly at football matches is through sponsor prizes. At many games, quizzes and entertaining contests for viewers are held. As prizes, organizers can offer the public modern and comfortable bags of the brand in question, which is the sponsor of such bonus programs. The audience will want to win Tumi products subcon
Introduction Families are the basis of all societies in the world. Their sizes may range from very small groups consisting of a husband, wife and their child living under one roof to a very large and complex group consisting of multigenerational combinations staying in a single household or in even more than one household. As families evolve consistently, so does the society structure. “With the modification of other factors – for example, life expectancy, or attitudes towards adoption – the impact on the family is telling” ( “ Family life in the U.S “, para 1). Considering the case in the United States of America in regard to family life, the traditional family structure (father, mother and children) goes on existing for the most part while the 21 st century unfolds. However, in the course of several years that have passed, the American society has seen the family structure and the day to day life evolve in many ways basing on a number of factors, “running the gamut from advancements in science to the composition of the workplace single parenthood, adoptive households, step-parenting, stay-at-home fathers, and grandparents raising children are but a few of the newer tiles in the mosaic” (“ “ Family life in the U.S”, para 2). In this paper, there is going to be comparing and contrasting of essays presented by two different authors who talk about the family life. The articles to be looked are “The satisfactions of housewives and motherhood” and “Paradise lost” written by Terry Martin Hekker and “The myth of co-parenting: how it was supposed to be” by Edelman Hope. These articles are about family life, and particularly marriage life and the roles played by men and women in marriage. It is going to be argued that; in the modern world, a successful family life and marriage require both a man and a woman helping one another in bringing up the children and meeting other family obligations while each of them seeks to have financial stability of self-sufficiency as well. The American Family Life Family life requires both a husband and a wife to play particular roles in bringing up children and meeting other obligations without one of them feeling he or she is doing much more than the other. In considering Edelman’s article, it is seen that at the time she got married to John, she did not have a feeling that she was going to be carrying out more activities at home than her husband while at the same time going to work. John gets very much busy following his move to start a new internet company. He spends long hours working and coming home late. He leaves the burden of looking after their daughter and carrying out other family activities, which otherwise could also be carried out by a husband, to his wife. This makes her reduce the number of hours she takes at her workplace as a result of her husband increasing the hours he spends at his workplace. As much as he is seeking to increase the overall family income, this does not satisfy the wife. In this article, Edelman points out that a child needs to have parental care from both sides and it is not good for a father not
Introduction This paper aims to discuss the obligations of an entrepreneur to consumers and to investors. In this case, Carl can incur liabilities to several parties, in particular, to such companies Widget World and Widget Universe. Secondly, one has to speak about Emma who purchased Carl’s products. We need to make recommendations that can help Carl avoid legal responsibility. On the whole, this situation describes different types of conflicts which may occur in contract law. Prior to evaluating Carl’s possible strategies we need to identify the essential components of a contract; they include consent of the parties, offer and acceptance, consideration (Waddams, 2010; Yates, 1999). Without them an agreement between the sides does not have legal or binding power. This information is crucial for us because Widget International has entered contracts and it is necessary for us to assess them in terms of their validity. On the basis of this analysis, we will be better able to assess the position of Widget International. Overall, this case illustrates a situation when an entrepreneur can incur several liabilities due to the fact he involuntarily entered into several agreements. Carl’s Actions Tacit contract with Widget World At first, we need to discuss Carl’s obligations to Widget World. He did not sign any agreement with this enterprise; however, he made an offer to them by saying that he is sell products to them, while the opposite side accepted this offer. Thus, in this case we have two essential components of a contract, offer and acceptance (Waddams, 2010). To some extent, this situation can be described as a tacit contract. This is one of those cases when there is no document that can confirm the existence of a contract; at least this contract is not drawn up properly. However, one of the sides has made a promise which can be viewed as an offer. Carl sent Widget World a fax in which he expressed readiness to enter into agreement with this company. So, one can say that this agreement has a binding force. Judging from it Carl’s company Widget International will be forces to sell its products exclusively to Widget World at a certain price, namely, $ 10 per a product. If he prefers to sell goods to a different enterprise, he would have to pay indemnity to Widget World. This is one of the hypothetical scenarios and Carl must be ready for it. Theoretically Widget World can sue Carl for breach of contract. Yet, we can maintain that Widget International will be able to avoid liability Carl can defend his position by pointing out that this tacit contract lacks such an essential element as consideration. In other words, the parties did not specify the obligations and rights of both parties in case the contract is breached. Therefore, this agreement is rebuttable. Apart from that, Carl can repudiate the claims of Widget World by arguing that fax letter must not be regarded as an offer but rather as an invitation to treat, which means that one of parties only invites to opposite side to evaluate a proffer and it should not be confused with a binding offer. Thus, Carl can adopt th
After gaining the U.S. presidency, Eisenhower introduced changes to the existing policies regarding national security. This was referred to as the “New Look” policy. The primary components of this policy included nuclear technology, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the U.S. economy, and its allies. On nuclear technology, the policy targeted to enhance nuclear technology in an effort to counteract communist aggression. In regards to the CIA, the policy empowered the CIA in doing the spying mission of nations or leaders allied to communism (Paterson, 277). On the U.S. economy, the policy aimed to protect the economy from the adverse effect of the Cold War. The policy targeted strengthening the US relationship with its allies, as well as winning the nonaligned governments to their side. Eisenhower’s “New Look” strategy surpassed Kennan’s and NSC 68 strategies. Kennan’s containment policy purposed to disintegrate the communist bloc and reform the Soviet nature towards international relations. On the other hand, the NSC 68 strategies emphasized on strengthening the defense perimeter around countries under threat of Soviet aggression. These strategies incorporated a feature of flexibility in response. To Kennan, action was to be initiated if the state’s interest were at stake. This was also if the conditions and means were favorable and accessible respectively. For NSC 68, action was to be taken whenever there was communist aggression. With respect to Eisenhower’s strategy, the US would act at any time and place based on its choice (massive retaliation). The stronghold of this policy over others was long term preparedness in terms of response. In addition, this policy ensured that there was budget balance. This is an aspect that was not present in the others policies. The Eisenhower’s New Look policy had numerous accomplishments. Eisenhower influenced and contributed to ending of the Korean War. He also stabilized the rivalry between America and the Soviet Union. Furthermore, he strengthened the international relation with European allies. However, Eisenhower’s New Look strategy was faced with much criticism. The majority of the critics were against the involvement of nuclear technology and CIA surveillance. Some scholars argued that Eisenhower’s policy had more harm than benefits. First of all, the excessive reliance on nuclear technology as the main element of deterrence was futile (Tannenwald, 142). This was attributed to the fact that significant considerations were ignored. Its impact on manipulating the communist rifts was not considered. The Soviet Union balance in allowing development of missiles was undermined. On the contrary, this triggered the Soviets to intensify their nuclear building programs. Secondly, the policy failed to stop revolutions amongst the third world nations. Some scholars agree that the policy mainly concentrated on opposing communism in the developing third world. In its attempts, it failed to consider the third world nation
Regarding the tendency towards the further rise of the significance of business and its substantial impact on the modern society and economy, the sphere of management acquires the top priority. Numerous approaches to monitor the functioning of diverse enterprises and companies and enhance their performance appear every day. This process is stipulated by the increased need to create a particular competitive advantage and preserve leading positions. However, some aspects of management still lack empirical evidence related to the peculiarities of their implementation in the functioning of companies and outcomes they might guarantee. Benefits management (BM) is one of these approaches. Thus, the paper The impact of project management (PM) and benefits management (BM) practices on project success: Towards developing a project benefits governance framework by Amgad Badewi delves into this issue. The pivotal aim of this research work is the investigation of the relations between successful outcomes in numerous areas to evaluate the role of efficient project management and its ability to precondition the overall success of the project investment success. Moreover, the author also suggests and proves the idea that the combination of BM and PM might significantly increase the probability of success and create the basis for companies further rise. In such a way, the paper touches upon the sphere of management to provide additional knowledge that might be helpful in filling the existing gap and enhancing understanding of advantages that come from BM. To reveal the central peculiarities of this method and improve the comprehension of the approach, Badewi introduces a literature review section containing the basic assumptions related to BM and PM and their roles in the modern business world. Thus, the author manages to collect credible evidence that supports his idea by outlining the benefits and advantages the use of the discussed approaches bring to companies that implement BM and PM into their functioning. At the same time, Badewi conducts his own research interviews, observation, and focus groups to understand how BM and PM could be combined and evaluate their outcomes in real-life settings. As the central research tool, a specific online survey containing five sections (project management success, project investment success, benefits management practices, project management success, and organization related information) was designed to collect data needed either to prove or to refute the hypothesis. Two hundred valid responses were used as the background for further discussion and conclusion related to the efficiency of the suggested approach. Badewi also introduces the definition of the project success to use as a central point in discussing the possible benefits of using BM and PM to enhance performance and attain improved results. Altogether, having conducted a study, the author comes to a conclusion that the application of project management practices, both B
