Introduction Marketing is a critical component in any company since it is through marketing that the products of a company are popularized to the customers hence creating market for them . However, it is not an activity that is undertaken spontaneously but one that requires prior planning. Unless marketing is planned, no results can be achieved. This essay will present a marketing plan for a company known as Prospects Clothing Dealers. The company deals in various types of clothing for children, teenagers and adults. The goals of the marketing campaign include popularizing the brand of the company, securing a considerable market for the company’s brand, understanding the market dynamics and assessing the viability of the product in the market. Stakeholder Analysis Customer Analysis Young people and teenagers have taste for fashion than adults. They are fanatics of different types of clothes and always fancy the latest designs in the market. As a result, the target market will be the young people and teenagers who give clothing the first priority. A company that deals with clothes and targets the youths will be in a position to achieve high sales since the young people like to look good in new clothes (Winton, 2007). Their tastes and preferences for clothes are totally different from the tastes and preferences of the adults who have little interest for fashion. In order to reach the market which is comprised of mostly the young people and youths, it will be important to have a general strategy. The general strategy to be used will be to popularize the products of the company through various methods. For example, through campaigns, the potential customers will be informed of the uniqueness of the company’s products and how they will benefit from buying the products. The products of the company will offer the customers value for their money due to their quality, a benefit the customers will not get from any other company. Ideally, the general strategy will be to convince the customers that the company’s products are the best. This will be done through other channels such as meeting the customers physically, through mass media adverts and promotions. One of the significant segments of the customers who will be targeted is college and university students. The population of college and university students is high hence they will form a significant market base. There are thousands of college and university students who will form an important part of the market. This group of customers is the most stylish and clothing is one of their first priorities. They take pride in showing off to their colleagues through different types of clothing and have varied needs for clothes since they prefer stylish designs that make them unique. The choice of this segment of the market will be informed by the fact that college and university students are fanatics of fashion and different types of clothing hence it will be easy to market the company’s products to them successfully. Competitor Analysis In any field of operation in business, there are usually competitors. It is important for a company to identify its competitors in ord
Getting people to wear a technological design is one the greatest hurdles in the design industry. Regardless of how advanced the technology seems to be, many people find it difficult to take that step of adding it into their wardrobe. Customers lack the courage to incorporate technology into the wardrobe. However, Humberto Leon and Carol Lim have successfully managed to bridge this gap. The duo managed to bring on board this technological advancement after teaming up with Intel to create My Intelligent Communication Accessory (MICA). MICA is arguably one of the most luxurious wearables in the world. This accessory blend technology with elegance by adding accessories that include Snakeskin, 18-karat- gold plating and semiprecious stones. The user has a colorful touch screen that adds the luxurious touch to the entire accessory. MICA debuted in September 2015 during the OC’s spring production. After the release, the bracelet gained full functionality a while later. One of the aspects that make this bracelet stand out is the fact that it enables the user to connect with others with much ease. For instance, it comes with direct links to Facebook and Gmail notifications. In addition, the users can use it to identify or create their VIP contact list in a much discreet manner. However, Lim notes that the bracelet is not intending to replace the phone technology. Rather, it seeks to enhance communication at a more advanced level. From early December, the bracelet will be available at New York and L.A outposts. The retailing price will be $495. One can also get the bracelet by selecting some of the Barney locations on these websites, barneys.com and openingceremony.us respectively. Reflections from the article In order to advance in the fashion and style industry, it is important to create room for dialogue between the customers and the stakeholders in the industry. The consumers need to have a clear understanding about some of the benefits that come with these technologies. This will bridge the gap between prevailing technological trends and the willing customer. It is critical to get the right facts before blending style and technology. Right facts enable both the stylists and the manufacturers to respond to questions in the market. The dynamic nature of technology requires players in this industry to put in place measures that will match these changes. Due to this, it is vital to create a platform for generating meaningful views for the purpose of advancement. It is difficult to venture into this market without forging meaningful partnerships. For instance, My Intelligent Communication Accessory (MICA) is a product of teamwork. The point to note is that mergers and teamwork are vital for progress and growth. It is worth to note that any meaningful venture cannot succeed without investing in a clear vision. Successful ven
Shakespeare’s Hamlet is the archetypal reversal of the natural order in canonical theatre. The master bard’s work weaves intricate plot lines wielding theatrical and literary techniques that were famously before their time. Prince Hamlet of Denmark is tortured by the violent death of his father, the betrayal of his mother, and the king’s vengeful, accusing ghost. Caught in the tragic web are Hamlet’s friends and followers: the mistreated Ophelia and ever-loyal Hamlet. In the closing scene Hamlet pleads with Horatio to survive him for the sole purpose of passing on the truth: “If thou didst ever hold me in they heart/ Absent thee from felicity a while,/ And in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain/ To tell my story” (333-336). This is the essence of Hamlet and what makes the sentiment so true to our time—the inherent pain of life, a cosmic sense of injustice, and the karmic balance of natural order. In Backwards and Forwards David Ball uses Hamlet and other classic theatrical texts to examine the plot techniques that help our analysis as readers. Perhaps the most logical of all his techniques, in the case of Hamlet , is in his chapter entitled “Families”. Here Ball states that we must “bring to a play what you know from your own experience with fathers, sons, mothers, daughters…” (Ball 85). This passage not only explains our aforementioned social and emotional connection to Prince Hamlet but alliterates insights into the movement of the play that we can already sense as readers. For example, the reaction Hamlet has to his mother’s apparent sexual betrayal with the brother of her late husband is what moves the plot forward. But Hamlet says, “oh, that this too, too sullied flesh would melt/ Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew,/ Or that the Everlasting had not fixed/ His canon ‘gainst self-slaughter” (129-133). His grief is so strong that he is disgusted with life, desperate even for death. How, as readers and an audience, do we rationalize the King’s death and deeds of Claudius and the Queen as the driving force behind Hamlet’s devastating madness? Certainly, exposure to society has made us familiar with the ravaging effects of a broken home. However common it continues to become, the dissolution of a family in any manifestation is damaging to the psyche of all involved. We understand on an innate level that the effect of perceived and real betrayal can be confusing and debilitating for children, and Hamlet deals with this on a royal level. We can use Ball’s advice and what we know about the nature of families here too, by relating the pressure of the crown and loyalty to his father that Hamlet faced with our own lives. We also can use our knowledge of religion and the context of the play to understand his struggle with contemplating suicide. Hamlet feels too much for this world, wants to die, and is further disturbed by the fact that he knows it is a sin. “… the instinct for survival acquires a political dimension at a number of moments, and that these moments reverse the ideological polarity of, say, Hamlet’s princely contempt for his own desire for life in the direction
The work of the human brain is complex and includes many different processes. To make a person feel something, millions of neurons interact with the central nervous system. Several organs and specific cells are fundamental in the process of neuronal activation. To have a general view of how neurons work, one should be aware of certain terms and interactions of neuronal impulses. One of the main parts of the neuronal “chain” is a neurotransmitter. These are the chemical substances that transmit a signal through a synapse to a target cell. In turn, the target cell might be another neuron, namely the receiving neuron. The synaptic cleft is a space between nerve cells through which a signal is transmitted into the intercellular area. Signal Transduction Cascade refers to any process through which a cell transforms one type of signal or stimulus to another. G-protein-linked receptors act as activators of intracellular signal transduction ways, which then lead to a cellular response. For the record, according to Higuchi et al. (2017), there are several ways of neural stimulations or cellular response. However, the central part of the cellular response is the agonist, which includes some types. Ligand-ion channels are a group of transmembrane ion channels that allow ions to pass through a biological membrane. In the case of a voltage-gated channel, at rest, the activation gate of the channels is closed, and the inactivation gate is open. In the process of membrane depolarization, conformational changes in the channel occur, and the activation gate opens. Ligand-ion channels seem to be involved in the action of anesthetics and ethanol, although definitive evidence for this remains to be established. Indeed, it is not easy to fully explore all the aspects of brain activity. Nevertheless, nowadays, scientists can study neural activations on various frequencies (Hesse, 2020). Thus, one was able to identify that there are full agonist, which reaches the maximal response of the cell, and partial one. The partial agonist does not get the maximal response capability of the cell even if the receptor is fully occupied. An inverse agonist reduces the fraction of receptors in an active conformation. The work of neurons could be described in the following way. When there is a “splash” of tension on the axon, the synapse responds and transmits it to “dendrites,” leading to a cellular response by interaction with the agonist. Scientists study a process of neural activity using high-innovative technologies. Thus, Researchers have used neuroimaging techniques to examine neural activation (Sokolowski & Ansari, 2016). One also identified that Each neuron has thousands of synapses, but no more than a tenth of all synapses are active at any given time. Neuron reaction times are units of ms; the same order of delay for signal pro
There is doubt about whether there has been a moment when the issue of emotional and behavioural disabilities was of no importance in the sphere of education. Furthermore, there is equal doubt about whether the professionals in the sphere of education give no significance to the term of emotional and behavioural disability itself. According to Garner, Kauffman and Elliot (2014, p. 22), the term emotional and behavioural disability is frequently used as children-specific quasi-clinical and administrative category. The most frequent denominators are the words like ‘alienated’, ‘at risk’, ‘disruptive’, ‘excluded’, and so on (Clough, Garner, Pardeck, & Yuen 2005, p. 7). Importance of Teacher Training and Teacher Awareness The Disability Scoop article written by Jackie Mader and Sarah Butrymowicz told the story of 12-year old Cody Beck having put to jail for losing his temper in the classroom. When teachers could not do anything to calm Cody Down, they decided to call the authorities. As a result, the boy was sent to a mental health facility and released after twelve days. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder and provided with a special education program as well as additional accommodations, Cody Down was not allowed to study with his peers despite a medical cause that explained his erratic behaviour. Furthermore, he was called to the youth court a couple of times after the incident. The article emphasized the fact that one in three arrested children happen to have some sort of a disability ranging from dyslexia to bipolar disorders. Furthermore, it is underlined that the lack of counselling and coaching for teachers remains one of the main reasons for children with disabilities being jailed. Because many of the arrested students are suspended from schools, they get into further trouble without the guidance from teachers and peers (Mader and Butrymowicz 2014, para. 2). Thus, there is a critical need for school efforts and resources to improve the system of dealing with students that have behavioural or emotional disabilities. In their article ‘The Importance of Teacher Self-Awareness Working with Students With Emotional and Behavioural Disorders’ Richardson and Shupe concluded that there is a significant number of teachers that have not received appropriate training on how to deal and interact with students that have behavioural and emotional disabilities. Even though the success of an educator when dealing with students with EDs is connected to a variety of factors, there is an increased importance of teachers’ self-awareness (Richardson & Shupe 2006, p. 12). Exclusion of Students with Behavioural and Emotional Disabilities According to the Investigation Report ‘Left Behind: Students with Emotional and Behavioural Disabilities in the Hartford Public Schools’, the system of Hartford public schools has been discriminating against students with the mentioned disabilities. The investigators visited various school facilities for two years
Introduction It is doubtless that the natural environment plays a major role in supporting human life. This is mainly based on the fact that most of what is needed by human beings can be obtained from the environment directly or indirectly. As a result, there is continuous pressure on the environment, which has significantly contributed to pollution and environmental degradation. These challenges have seen countries and states around the world enact laws, aimed at protecting the environment. Even though some of these have been remarkable in curbing environmental pollution, it is evident that this war is not yet won. 1 Environmental protection calls for individual and collective responsibility, where everybody is involved through public awareness. Due to ever-changing issues, most of the laws governing environmental conservation and protection have undergone numerous reviews to make them applicable in confronting major issues. This research paper focuses on environmental protection laws in New South Wales. To achieve this target, the analysis will cover a wide range of issues, which affect environmental protection in Australia. Environmental Protection Although different scholars and authors define environmental protection variedly, it is universally described as the general practice of taking care of the environment at different levels, including organizational, individual, and governmental. The need for these efforts is based on continuous degradation of the environment, which is spread as a result of technology and population pressure. 2 Unfortunately, some of these changes are irreversible, thus threatening the sustainability of the natural environment. Nonetheless, most of these have been noticed by several governments around the world, and have launched initiatives to address the problem. On the other hand, some environmental agencies believe that leaders have not shown enough commitment to addressing the problem of environmental pollution in most countries around the world. The most important aspect of environmental protection is the use of laws, which define the interaction between human beings and the natural environment. These definitions further give penalties for those who are found guilty of polluting the environment. On an international scale, there are laws, which govern the manner in which countries interact with the environment, without affecting other nations. These regulations are usually ratified as treaties and are supposed to be respected by both parties involved. 3 For effective environmental protection, most countries have embarked on environmental public awareness, through educational programs, workshops, and training of practitioners. Through environmental studies, students are equipped with skills, which are paramount in protecting the environment from various forms of pollution. Common issues, which are featured in such sessions include, loss of biodiversity, air pollution, and emission of waste produc
Basic data and statistics about Romania Historical perspective of this country Romania is a country in Southeastern Europe that borders Black Sea. To the west, it borders with Serbia and Hungary, to the east, it borders Moldova and Ukraine, and to the south, it borders Bulgaria (Demekas, 1991). It is the seventh largest country in European Union in terms of population, which is estimated to be 20,121,641 people. The country’s GDP was estimated to be $274 billion in the year 2012. In the same year, unemployment in this country was estimated to be 5%. Despite this low rate of unemployment, income distribution is still skewed, with a few members of the society being very rich, while the majority controls minimal wealth of the country. The country joined European Union in January 2007. As Turnock (2000) notes, Bucharest, the capital city of this country, is ranked as the sixth largest city in Europe. The country gained independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1877. It formed a union in 1918. After the Second World War, the military took over the country’s leadership until the Romanian revolution of 1989. Since then, the governance of the country has been through democracy. Turnock (2000) describes Romanian economy as “A developing, upper-middle income market economy, the 11th largest in the European Union by total nominal GDP and the 8th largest based on purchasing power parity.” The economic recession of 2009 forced this country into budget deficit, a fact that saw it borrow money from World Bank and International Monetary Fund. In 2010, the country’s export increased by 13%, reducing the budget deficit that had been experienced in the previous years. Romania has a compara
In the case State v. Stu Dents, the defendant (Stu Dents) faces several charges ranging from homicide to drug related crimes. The prosecutor in this case has an obligation to provide incriminating evidence and avail enough reasons to facilitate conviction of Mr Dents. This paper presents prosecution statement in relation to Dent’s case. Homicide laws are strongest in Florida State (Schmalleger, 2006). In chapter 782 of the 2013 Florida Statutes, murder is defined as a premeditated act that leads to death of a person (Schmalleger, 2006). According to Schmalleger (2006), a person commits murder when he or she kills another person in the course of committing other prohibited acts such as trafficking or arson. There are three elements that must be met for Dents to be declared guilty. First, there is need to establish that Dents premeditated to kill Uma. Secondly, it has to be proved that Dents actually killed Uma. The third element is concurrence of the first two. In this case, Dents indicated in the journal found in his house that he planned to purchase a rope, rags, and a knife for reasons that he did not reveal. However, when the victim’s body was recovered, her legs and hands had been tied together with a rope and her mouth stuffed with rags. She had also been stabbed several times with a knife. This gives a hint of wh
The article “You Probably Didn’t Know Toyota Builds Houses, Too” in the Jalopnik Magazine, November 2013 tells us about building services in Toyota. Toyota is one of the largest automobile companies in the USA. The company is located in Aichi, Japan, and it annually delivers millions of vehicles worldwide. Therefore, it is evident that building services, in this case, do not represent the principal focus of the company’s activity, but serve to be a support service that the company provides. There are two particular aspects that should be analyzed in the framework of the Toyota case. First of all, initially, the company did not have a separate department that could be responsible for providing such a support service. Therefore, the company got engaged in this activity due to the moral implications. At first, housing service was developed in order to provide temporary shelters for the victims of a disastrous earthquake that took place in Turkey. After that, the company decided to expand its service to large-scale production. It was only in the late 1990s that Toyota changed the focus of the service, trying to make it more environmentally friendly ( You Probably Didn’t Know Toyota Builds Houses, Too , 2013). The article does not provide any information on whether the company has an FM-like department that is supposed to be in charge of providing support services. Thus, it is problematic to indicate whether miscellaneous support services are an integral part of the corporate strategy. Nevertheless, it is evident that building services are not a core function of the company; therefore, the case fits the subject of the assignment. Another curious aspect concerning the case under analysis is that the provision of a support service has assisted the company in improving its general image. The development of the new service branch has helped to advance the brand and draw the customers’ attention to the core service of the company. The relevant phenomenon might be explained by the fact that the management employed a wise approach – they began naming the houses after the names of the most popular automobiles that the company produces. As a result, those customers that used the support service of the company were, likewise, sure to get informed on its core service as well. Moreover, the company has always had a powerful public appeal for being “green” and environmentally friendly ( You Probably Didn’t Know Toyota Builds Houses, Too , 2013). The implementation of the support service has helped Toyota to strengthen its positions in the relevant field. Providing a “green” housing service was supposed to make the clients think positively about all the other services that Toyota offers. Therefore, the relevant example shows that miscellaneous support services have a positive impact on a company’s performance in general. Managers might use this measu
