Introduction The United Emirates has been in the recent past the destination of many businesspersons (Heiko 77). This is partially attributed the fast growth that is taking place in the nations of the United Arab Emirates. Additionally, the United Arab Emirates is located at the major crossroads of the Western and Eastern parts of the globe hence remaining the best investment option for most nations who would wish to expand their economies. Among the seven Emirates of the UAE, Dubai seems to the most preferred choice for doing business. In fact, most of the graduates from the third world nations have resorted to seeking employment in Dubai as well as other nations of the UAE. In addition to this, Dubai now competes with the New York City in terms of the best shopping destination globally. This has in turn driven most organizations and companies to extend their services as well as products to Dubai (Heiko 98). Among the endless list of companies that would wish to expand their business to Dubai is the USA based company known as Noode. Noode is a company in the line of beauty and skin care products manufactured for women. This paper is therefore of the strategic analysis that ought to be carried out throughout the internationalization of Noode skin care products to Dubai. Brief description of the product to be internationalised Noode is a company that deals with the manufacture of about a range of twelve skin care products largely based in the United States of America. The company was founded by Seth Ratner known for his vast appetite in entrepreneurship as well as handwork, which lead to his current success. Mr. Ratner first worked in a male skin care company and later moved to another beauty products company before forming his own company in 2000, which he named Noode. This is given his vast experience in the field of beauty products. During the initial times of the launching of the Noode skin and beauty care products, the company distributed its products through the local stores including the Bloomingdale’s and Henri Bendel just to mention a few. However, given the fact that the Noode skin and beauty care products have attracted much acceptance and loyalty from the customers within the United States of America, the company now wishes to expand internationally to other locations among them Dubai. Diagrams showing some of the Noode Products (Lindley 125) An Analysis of the Target Country Before any entrepreneur decides to have their services and or products introduced in another country as a way of internationalizing their business, they have to put into considerations several factors in the target c
The years between the early and mid-19th century saw a tremendous growth of the Middle colonies, which comprised New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. A unique feature about these colonies was the population, a mixture of people with diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds. However, the Quakers dominated Pennsylvania and equally had significant influence in New Jersey (“Growth and Crisis in Colonial Society 1720-1765” 79). The growth of these middle colonies created a distinctively new American way of life that influenced American political thought. The numerous religious and ethnic groups allowed for the development of an open and pluralistic political system in North American colonies. For a long time, politics in the colonies was influenced by Great Britain, which was less completive given that North American colonies lacked political freedom. Enlightened colonists, such as Benjamin Franklin influenced regional politics due to their compelling political philosophies. Hence, as the colonies adopted religious freedom, new political perspectives emerged, prompting people to challenge the status quo. Additionally, the Enlightenment and Great Awakening movements, which occurred almost concurrently, strikingly influenced American political thought as well. The Enlightenment stressed the importance of human intellect in affecting change in society. On the other hand, the Great Awakening was a religious revival movement that emphasized embracing new spiritual worldviews. Charismatic evangelists including Jonathan Edwards, Gilbert Tennant, and the most famous George Whitefield spread the good news of the Great Awakening extensively across the North American colonies (“Growth and Crisis in Colonial Society 1720-1765” 79). The preachers’ sermons inspired the congregation to question the authority of the clergy, religious taxes, and morality of competition for resources. The Enlightenment became deeply established in Philadelphia, with Benjamin Franklin being the American epitome of the movement. Although the two notable movements caused controversy for supporting the rebellion of the old lifestyles, many people subscribed to it as the population of the Middle Colonies grew. Gradually, the colonists applied the knowledge from Enlightenment and Great Awakening to challenge political and religious authorities. The newly inspired individuals influenced change in policies, politics, and culture in the colonies; for example, Benjamin Franklin contributed to the change in educational policies “Growth and Crisis in Colonial Society 1720-1765” 80). Whenever the British authorities changed, revised, or introduced new policies, the colonists could challenge since the two movements had revolutionized the way of thinking. Hence, the Enlightenment and Great Awa
Guy-Sheftall’s 1992 article focuses on the rise of black women’s studies as an academic discipline during the last decades of the 20th century. The article includes a bibliographic review of critical works on the topic that have made significant contributions to studying the experience of black women from a historical perspective. The author sheds light on the scientific enterprise about the black women’s literary tradition, which consisted of two phases. In the first phase, scholars sought to address the very existence of the original literary tradition of black female writers. In the second phase, the topic started to be approached more critically. For example, in her article Black Women Image Makers (1974), scholar Mary Helen argues that this literary tradition differs in the particular historical role of women writers and the set of topics they raise. Additionally, the second phase was characterized by the intersection of feminist scholarship and black women’s studies. Particular attention was drawn to the role of gender and sexual exploitation in enslaved communities. Among the main challenges of the scholarship on black women is the need for equal consideration of gender, race, and class issues. The author highlights that it is not always easy to choose a conceptual framework adequate enough to embrace the multifaceted experience of women of color in America and around the globe. While the dominant approach to studying the experience of black women in the 1990s continued to be feminism, a number of scholars have proposed to revise the “minority group model” (Guy-Sheftall, 1992, p. 37). For example, researcher William Chafe problematized the comparison of the categories of race and
Discussion Red light cameras are intended to capture the registration numbers of vehicles if the driver runs a red light. This technology is coming up in several cities as the government speculates that if drivers are aware that they are under surveillance, they will be less probable to run the red lights. But the issue about its effectiveness arises where most people consider that it is another process of raising city income from traffic tickets. Red light cameras are considered to increase road accidents, a way of rising city income, and breach privacy rights. In accordance with some research, instead of assuring motorist protection, red light cameras highly raise road accidents and thus promote insurance premiums. Most insurance firms support the implementation of red light cameras since they will greatly benefit from increased citations and accidents which will be caused by red light cameras. Applications of red light cameras are intended to reduce people causing death, injury, and property destruction, but this technology rarely solves these issues. For instance, the drivers would be alert to red light cameras, so they will begin to drive more unsteadily when they are under red or yellow light, as they hurriedly stopped to avoid a ticket. Therefore, bringing about an increased amount of rear-ends accidents. Red light camera systems are designed to record all the activities in roads throughout the day and at night, this shows that drivers running red lights are being recorded continually. The pictures and videos are kept on private computer servers without any confirmable assessment trail of the time the pictures and videos are erased. Additionally, they assert that drivers have no likelihood of privacy if they break the law. The problem with this case is that it only functions if the red light cameras are 100% correct, but that is not the case. Actually, the camera producers have stated that the existing technologies may give four to 30% inaccuracies (Mulligan 13). Traffic tickets provided by police officers and even parking tickets are often r
Introduction The history of the United States of America has been discussed in the book ‘The American Creation’. This paper will give an incisive chapter by chapter analysis. Each chapter has its historical event and all the events shall be discussed in this paper. Discussion The year This chapter seeks to discuss the founding of the American country; it explains the achievement of independence by the United States of America. This chapter also discusses the period in which the American constitution was declared as the supreme law in the United States of America. This process was actualized by several great American statesmen. There are several achievements that the founders of the American nation achieved. They were able to win the war of independence. This was a war that was fought against the British. The British had an army that was second to no other. Their navy was the most powerful than any other in the world. The founders of the United States of America were able to establish a republic that was nation-sized. This was the first of its kind to have ever happened in the world. They were also able to establish a completely secular state which meant that religious ideologies had no place in the management of the state. The founders excelled in creating several centers of power that were overlapping which divided power between the federal governments and the state governments. This became a great asset to the republic. This chapter of the book deals with the fifteen months of the American Revolution. This period was a period of prudence. There was a strategic decision that was aimed at making the revolution happen at a slower pace. This act of great statesmanship helped the United States to avoid revolutionary movements that were chaotic and bloody like in China, Russia, and France. The reason for the revolution was that the British colonizers were not ready to listen to the needs of the colonies. The Americans aspired to achieve shared sovereignty which entailed that the American colonies remain loyal to the masters but at the same time be given permission to run their local affairs. The British did not accept this thus leading to war. George Washington was assigned the position of General in the Continental Congress Army. He led his country in the pursuit of war and also the idea of achieving reconciliation with the colonial masters. These two ideologies brought about two camps namely; the radicals and the moderates. The winter This is the second chapter of the book and it discusses the events of the war. This was not a warlike the others. The Americans used strategies like dodging the British. They also rallied support from the world. The iconic place for the war was the place called Valley Forge. This place has been enshrined in the history of the American nation. This is the place the dimension of the war changed from a war that the Americans had no chance of winning to one that they could not lose. Washington knew that the American side had time and space on their side. This battlefield was very hostile since there were many contagious diseases. The food supplies also run-out leading to famine and malnutrition. The currency of th
The Reasons for Selecting Specsavers for Analysis The main purpose of the presentation is to consider one of the companies which is rather successful at the market and to conduct its deep analysis. One of the main reasons why we have chosen Specsavers for analysis is that this company functions in a highly competitive environment and has managed to occupy the markets of different countries, e.g. Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, New Zeeland, etc. Moreover, the existence of substitute facilities is also rather high but the company manages to remain one of the leading corporations in the opticians’ sphere. Before getting down to creating a presentation, a thorough research had been conducted and it was found out that Specsavers was considered to be most trusted brand in Britain in the field of opticians. Having 39% or market share, the company was awarded with the Best Retail Advertising Campaign in 2010. All these reasons encourage us for considering the main ideas of the company success for better understanding of marketing facilities which help the company become a market leader within a relatively short period of time (the company was founded in 1984 and now it has about 1,500 stores in many countries of the world). The Marketing Challenges and Opportunities Having conducted a research, it is possible to conclude that we have learnt much about marketing challenges and opportunities. It is obvious that to run such specific type of business (connected with healthcare) the company should follow some legal acts and regulations. The inability to do it properly would not give the company an opportunity to achieve such high results. We also got to know that such innovative technologies as contact lenses and eye surgery are unable to substitute the traditional method for improving human sight. It is obvious that there are two main reasons for this, the positive image of the company and the successful advertising campaign. Thus, it is possible to conclude that having strong rivals which base their business on the innovative technologies, the company still may be successful if marketing and management are perfectly organized. Means of Marketing Evaluations and Judgments Making marketing evaluations and judgments about Specsavers functioning we used a number of means of company evaluation, like PEEST analysis, SWOT analysis, and Porter Five Forces. Getting down to close consideration of each of these means, the following information should be identified. PEEST analysis, being an extended variant of the PEST analysis, is important for consideration of the company’s competitive environment, current and future. This can be the part of the strategic management process which is very important while constantly changing environment which is mostly uncertain (Worthington & Britton 2009, p. 7). SWOT analysis is necessary for considering the company strengths and their use for competition, for identifying the company’s weakness and searching for appropriate methods either to protect the company or to make the company’s weaknesses their priorit
The resume should fully reflect the experience gained in the previous positions. It is important to clearly describe the achievements and essential details of the work so that their quantity and quality highlight the resume among others. It is critical to focus on specific facts, and not on general words that can be found in dozens of other resumes. It is worth paying particular attention to education, describing it in detail. It will be useful to describe the acquired skills and the most important subjects studied. Thus, the bot will receive more information that will meet its requirements. It is essential to understand what educational skills are suitable for a potential position and to focus on them. The resume should reflect the critical skills that the candidate possesses. They can be placed both in the text and in a separate paragraph with keywords. Their quantity and quality can also have a positive effect on the result of considering a resume since the bot is looking for specific words. The resume should be well structured and have different sections. This will simplify the bot’s search task and help it identify the necessary information about your experience, education, interests, and other details easier. Before compiling a resume, one should find out information about other company employees, if possible. Understanding which team awaits the candidate in the future will help to adapt to it and make the resume more suitable. This applies to both professional skills and personal qualities that can be reflected in the resume. One should not give an excessive amount of information that may be unnecessary. First, it may interfere with finding the correct data about the necessary experience. Second, some bots are programmed to avoid contact with similar “verbose” candidates.
Psychologists are tasked with the responsibility of explaining human behavior. It is common phenomenon to experience people who suffer from abnormal mental disorders such as hysteria and schizophrenia (Durand, 2010). Appreciating that the disorders exist is not enough. It is important for all psychologists, students and the society to understand abnormal psychology. This would be influential in addressing specific mental problems. Various models that explain the causes of abnormal psychology exist (Durand, 2010). This paper focuses on the historical perspectives of abnormal psychology. Abnormal psychology is easily explained by use of three concepts namely; cultural and historical relativism, connection between mind and body and the principle of causality. It should be noted that abnormality is subject to cultural and historical dynamics. People have suffered from mental disorders since time immemorial. Consequently, different society settings adopt varying strategies to cope with abnormal people. Primitive animism and spiritual theories assert that abnormal behavior is a form of animism (Hansell & Damour, 2008). Abnormal people are considered to possess an evil spirit that triggers mental disturbance. In Ancient Greece, biological theories associated mental disorders with fluid imbalance. In view of this, four fluids namely blood, phlegm, black bile and yellow influenced human behavior. Black bile and yellow bile caused depression and anxiety respectively (Hansell & Damour, 2008). A proper balance among the four fluids was necessary. This would be achieved through dietary and behavioral changes. The concept of the connection between mind and body appreciates the fact that the two components are inseparable in the understanding of abnormal psychology. The psychological and biological paradigms are vitally important in the understanding of mental disorders (Hansell & Damour, 2008). Whereas some disorders may be attributed to psychological causes, others may require the attention of both psychological and biological causes. In view of this, separating the two is misleading and unacceptable in psychology. The principle of causality asserts that though theoretical perspectives overlap, the results so obtained complement each other. In view of this, each perspective contributes to the understanding of abnormal behavior (Durand, 2010). The interaction of precipitating causes and predisposing causes is a practical example. Whereas the former is the immediate trigger o an event, the latter is the underlying process that sets the stage for an event. Cases of alcoholism and schizophrenia require the understanding of both causes. The use of the diathesis-stress model is paramount in examining the interaction of these causes (Durand, 2010). Several scientific perspectives have been proposed in the understanding of abnormal psychology. They include; biological, psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, behavioral, and cognitive perspectives. Biological perspectives are concerned with the abnormal biochemical functioning of the brain. Genetic and environ
Many proponents and opponents of social justice underscore the fact that social welfare should be the ultimate goal of any social policy since human beings have certain innate rights and freedoms that cannot be denied. However, differences emerge as far as formulation and implementation of the social policies are concerned, since they end up criminalizing the poor and idolizing the rich (Sanders, 2009). Each person in society deserves the respect of others, as suggested by the social justice propositions. Unfortunately, this has never been the case because the underprivileged are usually subjugated further and their culture is never valued. Deontological Ethics Deontological theorists, such as Kant, had specific views on environmental conservation. In this case, Kant noted that any human being has a desire to produce the best result that is observant of the moral good (King, 2008). In this regard, a human being is always expected to act positively because of the existence of rules. In other words, the motives of a human being are the most important in analyzing the actions. Moral Relativism Under moral relativism, judgments vary across cultures and each person is expected to respect the views and the desires of others in society. For instance, something might be morally right, such as wife battering in some cultures, yet it is constitutionally illegal since it impedes the rights of women (Waller, 2005). Again, not all values that are legally approved are morally viable because laws are designed based on the views of the majority and not the cultures of society. In some countries, same-sex marriages are allowed, but it is considered immoral in other ones. Therefore, moral relativism plays a major role in understanding the way in which society is ordered. Utilitarianism Utilitarianism is a form of consequential ethics suggesting an action is determined to be right or wrong by looking at its effects. In other words, an action should guarantee happiness to the greatest number of people for it to be termed right. In this regard, climate change does not maximize happiness, meaning mitigation strategies must be formulated if society is to be guaranteed happiness. According to utilitarianism, conditions that destroy life increase and aggregate pain, because the family is left agonizing and yearning for the love of the deceased (Rosen, 2003). Utilitarianism is employed in formulating government policies because suffering is always prevented at all costs while happiness is facilitated. Virtue In virtue ethics, the behavior of an individual is analyzed carefully to establish its impact
