Marketing Goals and Objectives The main objective and goal of this marketing plan are to attract the BMW brand market through the company website and large showroom in Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai. The company promises a guide to the best BMW automobile deals, genuine spare parts, and servicing of the cars at a discount (Blythe, 2006). Through rebranding and increasing the visibility of the AGMC, this market segment is projected to increase their preference for the BMW series. Since the target market is specific, the success variable for the market share expansion strategy will be measured through an increase in sales of the automobiles (Al-Jenabi, 2008). Target Market and Positioning Marketing Strategy and SWOT The main strength of the Arabian Gulf Mechanical Centre is the presence of a well-established marketing network since it is the only company that specializes in the BMW series in the region. As a result, the AGMC is able to reduce the cost of advertisement since it depends on referrals from satisfied customers and free test drive to widen its catchment. However , most of the customers of the Arabian Gulf Mechanical Centre also buy other brands, other than BMW. The threat faced by the AGMC is stiff competition from dealers of other brands. The current opportunities for the automobile retailer include advancement in technology and information in reaching the BMW users market. As indicated in the SWOT analysis, the main impediment facing the AGMC is the challenge of continuous expansion in the backdrop of customer concerns on the efficiency of the services offered. The proposed marketing strategy to address this shortfall will be digital marketing targeting this market. Positioning Statement The Arabian Gulf Mechanical Centre BMW products will be positioned as the first of their kind in the UAE automobile market. As the first player for this kind of specialized dealership market, it will be easy to project a steady market share gain within six months after the implementation of the marketing management (Cheverton, 2004). As a result, a permanent and positive image of the Arabian Gulf Mechanical Centre will be glued in the minds of the clients (Cone, 2011). Product and Brand Management Objectives of Brand Management Branding is defined by Dagnino and Rocco (2009) is a “name, term, sign, symbol, or design, or a combina
Introduction The institution of slavery that existed in the United States during the 18 th and 19 th centuries brought great changes to the American culture. The colonialists imported slaves from Africa and used them in their agricultural plantations. Since slavery was a political, social, and economic issue, it gained significant attention among the writers. Many great writers tried to present the issue of slavery in literature by creating different fictional stories. The fictional stories portray experiences that slaves underwent in their struggle to overcome slavery and become heroic fugitives. Since slavery was common in both the South and North, slaves struggled to escape to Canada using different routes. While some travelled on foot, others navigated their way using a ship. Great literary writers in the 18 th and 19 th centuries dwelled on the issue of slavery as they tried to depict the experiences of slaves in a comprehensive manner. In this view, the essay examines literary portraits of escaping slaves depicted as heroic fugitives by comparing the portraits of Harriet Stowe, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Jacobs. The Experiences of Slaves The slaves went through traumatic experiences when they were under the control of their masters. The experiences compelled slaves to seek ways of escaping and attaining freedom. Since many slaves tried to escape, most of them did not manage to survive because their masters were ready to torture or kill them whenever they caught them. In this view, escaping was a heroic act, as many fugitives who dared to escape did not survive. In her fictional book, Harriet Stowe portrays the experiences that slaves went through and refers to them as the lowest, vilest, and filthiest form of human nature. According to Stowe, slavery shows us “human nature in its lowest debasement, the slave degraded, and his owner degrading himself” (2). In her depiction, Harriet Stowe illustrates how slave masters degrade humanity in the manner they treat slaves who are under their care. Hence, slaves experienced a great ordeal, which made them to become heroic fugitives. Like Harriet Stowe, Fredrick Douglass is another literary writer who depicts the experiences that slaves underwent during the period of slavery in the United States. Fredrick Douglass concurs with Harriet Stowe that the institution of slavery degrades humanity. Douglass asserts that slaves lived an aimless and worthless life in that their deaths during escape were better than their lives in slavery (6). This implies that the nature of suffering that slaves endured was appalling and dreadful to humanity. Owing to such experiences, slaves decided to devise way
Forewords Fire is one of the catastrophes that pose one of the greatest risks not only to peoples’ lives but also to property and business premises 1 . The fire risk index is also to a great extent compounded by the fact that the fire-causing risk factors are many, diverse, and complicated making the degree of fire risks vulnerability very high 2 . Such causing factors of fire especially in buildings include terrorist attacks, bombs explosion, earthquakes and other natural catastrophes, electricity faults, as well as natural fire accidents in the dwelling units and all of which makes buildings and premises particularly vulnerable 3 . As a matter of fact, fire in buildings can be accidental or deliberately caused by enemies or terrorists. Irrespective of whether the fire in the building is accidental or deliberate, its immediate repercussions and the aftermath are equal in intensity ranging from deaths out of burns and chocking by smoke, non-fatal injuries as a result of the same and extensive to the total destruction of property either by the fire itself or by the rescue operations at times 4 . All over the world, cases of fatal fire incidents in buildings, resulting from one of the multi-diverse causes have been reported. For instance, the fire that resulted from the terrorist attack on the world trading center in New York; the United States of America on September 11, 2001, is reported to have had many fatal and non – fatal casualties and extensive devastation of property. This paper, therefore, analyzes the issue of fires in a building while using detailed examples of large – and medium-scale fire and explosion disasters across Europe with a bias to the United Kingdom. In addition, the paper discusses safety engineering issues in relation to fire disasters in the built environment regarding the case studies that form the basis of analysis and give recommendations for improvement and prevention of such disasters for the future. Fire accident statistics in the United Kingdom According to a report presented by United Kingdom fire services, 2004 as presented to the office of the prime minister 5 , it was reported that in 2004 alone, the local authority fire and rescue services had virtually reacted to and attended to approximately 0.9 million fires and false alarm incident across the United Kingdom (basically England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland). Irrespective of the fact that this was 18% fewer such cases relative to the previous year (2003) the number of fire incidences were termed as high and a clear indication that the fire incidence ware still widespread irrespective of the countering measures that the local authority fire and rescue service departmen
Diagnosis: Asthma (adult patient) Brief Description of the Common Complaint Selected “Shortness of Breath” Shortness of breath is a condition where a person manifests uncomfortable breathing difficulties. Some people may experience this problem over sudden attacks while others may be affected over for several weeks or more (Dharmage et al., 2019). A person with breath shortness has increased number of breaths per minute meaning the person experiences trouble when breathing or getting enough oxygen (Dharmage et al., 2019). Other physical signs comprise color changes where a bluish color is seen around the mouth of the patient, on the fingernails and inside of the lips. Differential Diagnoses Related to the Common Complaint   * Bronchitis;   * Pneumothorax;   * Asthma. Rationale Bronchitis This is the swelling of the bronchial tube also known as bronchi. Bronchitis can be either chronic or acute; acute bronchitis is a common condition that develops as a result of cold or other infections affecting the respiratory system (Dharmage et al., 2019). Therefore, this inflammation makes breathing very difficult because of the narrowing of and irritation of the airways Pneumothorax This is a condition that caused by leakage of air between the lungs and chest wall. The air presses the outer side of the lungs causing them to collapse (Brown et al., 2020). A lung collapsing can be life-threatening on certain occasions (Brown et al., 2020). The treatment of pneumothorax is done by inserting a needle between the ribs to get rid of excess air. Asthma Asthma occurs because of airway swelling that makes them narrow. As a result, breathing becomes difficult and flow of air is interfered with (Dharmage et al., 2019). This causes coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath (Dharmage et al., 2019). Since asthma changes over time, patients have to meet with the medical practitioner regularly to track the signs and symptoms and adjust to treatments as required. Compare and Contrast Two Different Clinical Guidelines for Asthma Medications These are medicines designed to keep asthma symptoms under control. For instance, medicines taken for long-term control are meant to reduce airway inflammation that causes asthma. Tiotropium bromide is taken by asthmatic peo
GDP simply describes the total value of all goods and services produced in a given geographical area within a financial year. It can be measured using the following approaches namely: income, expenditure, and production approaches. Product approach This approach measures economic activity by adding upmarket values of goods and services produced but taking care not to include the value of goods and services utilized along production stages (Baumol, 121). It means that value-added is of the essence when calculating GDP with a product approach. Economic activity is, therefore, obtained if the value of output minus the value of input along production stages is added together. GDP = Value of output (including taxes fewer subsidies) – the value of inputs (also called intermediate consumption) Income approach The income approach adds receipts by producers, including worker’s wages and profits distributed to shareholders. In a nutshell, the approach adds together: compensation of employees, profits, gross mixed incomes, and taxes fewer subsidies on production and imports. Expenditure approach The expenditure approach captures the amount spent by all utility users. Final expenditures on goods and services, inventory changes, and the value of exports are added together before subtracting the value of imports. Closing consumption expenditures and gross fixed capital formation are part of final expenditures. Exports are included since they are part of a country’s production, while imports are subtracted as they belong to foreign nationals. Even though all the approaches give the same result, I think the production method is more accurate since the values of both inputs and outputs are obtained accurately from accounting personnel contrary to the income and expenditure approach.

They are four perspectives main perspectives on strategy and they include the classical approach to strategy, evolutionary perspective on strategy, processual to strategy and systematic perspective on strategy. Their features are as described below. In the classical approach to strategy perspective, profit is seen as the ultimate objective of the firm and profit targets can only be attainable through rational planning by the firm’s management. This perspective was designed by a businessman and historian Alfred Chandler, a theorist Igor Ansoff and a businessman Alfred Sloan. The perspective is based on three assumptions and they include; rational analysis, distinguishing conception from execution and the commitment of firms to maximize their profits. The major question is to position a business in markets where profits are likely to be maximized. The aim of the perspective is to ensure that there are returns on capital, and in this case, a focus on the long run is done where the business is evaluated on the long-run returns and if the long-run returns are not satisfactory, then the deficit should be corrected or otherwise stop the business in good time. The major problem in companies is not attaining their goal of profit maximization but it is the inability to put in place an organizational structure that is likely to allow the top management of the company to foresee the strategic responsibilities, where the best structure involves the removal of executive responsibilities and giving them to time, information and psychological commitment in the process of long-run planning. The formulation of strategies should be done by the top management and the operational managers are expected to implement the strategies as given by the top management, where all strategies that are to be implemented should have to be confirmed by the top management (VanDen, 1997). The classical perspective on strategy was build from the military experience and it advocates for a militar
Police shooting episodes have attracted more public attention lately. This fact is supported by the tendency that such acts are often justified in court and officers are not sentenced to prison. It is noteworthy that “each year in the United States, somewhere between 900 and 1,000 people are shot and killed by police” (Ross, 2019). Thus, officers often avoid convictions or any charges, explaining their acts by fear for their life. In this case, it is extremely difficult to decide on the legality of the shooting. Abdullahi Omar Mohamed’s injury in the police episode is an example of such an incident. The shooting occurred on February 27, 2016, in Salt Lake City, Utah near a refugee shelter. The 17-year-old Somali man was seen by the police allegedly in a conflict with another person. Mohamed had a metal bar, which he was asked to throw. Video footage of the incident shows that the police are not confident about the legality of their actions (Salt Lake City Tribune, 2017). It is noted also that Mohamed rejected the police demands and “continued to advance on the victim and was shot by officers” (Alberty, 2016). However, he survived and was under medical supervision after the incident. Two police officers Kory Checketts and Jordan Winegard were charged with the shooting. Police advocacy groups claimed that “the videos show a legally justified shooting of someone intent on violence” (Frandson & Miller, 2017). Thus, the officers were not convicted by the court, but Mohamed is facing imprisonment.
Abstract Data cleaning has been faced with the problem of duplicate elimination. This involves the task of doing away with numerous tuples, which refer to the same thing. Formerly, the solutions depended on the familiar analogous functions in these multiple tuples. These solutions, however, were not consistent for they did not give the real results always. In this paper, we provide a solution of an algorithm for eliminating duplicates in dimensional tables with a main focus on the data warehouse. This algorithm exploits hierarchies implemented on real datasets encountered from a data warehouse in operation (Ananthakrishna et al. 586). Introduction It is of paramount importance that data received in a data warehouse have minimal or fewer mistakes e.g. spelling mistakes or inconsistent conventions. This will reduce the amount of effort spent on data cleaning. This will play a key role in enhancing the accuracy of the decision and support analysis carried in data warehouses. The process of identifying and eliminating identical data in the quest for quality is always tricky and problematic. This is because you always come across objects which have copious portrayals in a data warehouse. An example is for a client Lisa being entered twice in a SuperMart after a purchase i.e. [Lisa Simpson, Seattle, WA, USA, 98025] (Ananthakrishna et al. 586). Delphi This software consists of an algorithm that operates as a straightforward duplicate detector. This is done by scanning for duplicate entities at each level of the hierarchy followed by a scan over the entire hierarchy. Two units are therefore considered to be duplicates if particular pairs of tuples in each relation are actually duplicates. In figure1, we can treat the Organization, City, State, and country as different relations in order to determine these duplicate pairs of tuples. A top-down traversal hierarchy approach is employed whereby the topmost relation is processed first before grouping child relations into smaller groups for comparison processing. In the section below we briefly take a look at GroupWise duplicate detection; This is done by first pairing the duplicates in a group G, and then comparing (using tcm and fkcm). Those whose similarity is greater than the latter’s threshold are chosen. While carrying out duplicate detection of a certain group, a set in the group I pinpointed and its corresponding tuples compared to those in the group. We, therefore, employ the services of a potential duplicate identification filter in detaching all possible replicas in the subsets of the group. It is good since we only carry out |G| comparisons to identify G’, which is a bit smaller than G. (Ananthakrishna et al. 590). We use token tables to efficiently calculate the tcm for any tuple. The tuple, however, ought to be a member of a particular group. The token tables contain the set of tokens, which must actually have frequencies and a list of corresponding tuples (Ananthakrishna et al. 591). The stop token frequency is that frequency at which we begin disregarding a token, set to be 10% of the number of tu
Orlando international airport is expected to serve more passengers than it is currently serving. This means that they need to maintain a constant update in technology advancements in order to improve human congestion within airport and air traffic control capabilities to decrease possible aircraft tragedy. Introducing new technology that is up-to-date and sufficient can relieve many human errors. This will also help in improving communications system, which is the largest part and keeps an airport running smoothly and efficiently. The new technology will lead to improvement of ticketing, whereby passengers can book for their tickets from their homes, offices and any other place connected with the internet. This means that passengers can download them using Smartphone while others can buy at kiosks which may be located centrally for all airlines of Orlando international airport. This will reduce the currently experienced queuing system to the ticket counters. This new technology will improves terminals, which will help in controlling and coordinating ticketing and baggage checking. This new computer system will also improve communication within the airport plus the security among the airlines. The new system would help redefine airport navigation through automated and route air traffic control. Messages would be delivered via computer technology to the pilot of an aircraft that would give him a more direct route to his location and would thus decrease the risk of running low on fuel during a flight. The presence of human control would still be needed in order to handle incoming transmissions pertaining to route changes, exceptions and emergencies. Overall, the new system would be able to map out the navigational route of aircrafts in order to maintain steady air traffic control and shorter destination routes with less air traffic congestion. It is not necessary for a pilot to use two-way radio communication since a ground control base does not monitor air traffic. This means that it is possible that some pilots will fail to communicate this important information. It should be of a top priority for Orlando international airport to make it a requirement that any aircraft should transmit their flight schedule and route on the suggested broadcast frequency in order to decrease the chances of any in air collisions. This would also make it possible to know a pilot’s coordinates in the event of an emergency. A digital data link would allow Orlando international airport to keep a direct line open to all aircraft pilots in order to give them general information such as weather conditions, air traffic status, and any other general information of interest. However, a private line would be available for Orlando international airport to contact a particular aircraft with a message that is meant for that aircraft and no other regarding any error messages or circumstances that aircraft might be experiencing. This technological advancement will be just as important as the presence of human command. Another
