Introduction The new millennium has seen a resurgent economic power in China. The Chinese growth is reflected in various sectors that impact globally. China is the new emergent economic giant that is having growth figures ranging to over ten per cent annually. The high economic growth has led to a booming building industry that is currently the world’s leading. China building industry has gobbled up most of the resources in the building materials sector, including cement, steel, fuel etc. The construction industry has therefore opened up opportunities for various professionals in the sector. Key among them are engineers, quantity surveyors, masons, labourers, and, crucially, architectural designers. Inevitably China’s eastern province, Hong Kong, has led in providing the various professional services required. To market a Hong Kong architectural consultancy business in China would require a strategic business plan formulation. A consultant has been various described as an expert in a certain profession working as an advisor either to a firm or to a specific individual. The consultant offers skills, knowledge and proficiency that businesses or other individuals can utilize. The consultant advises, solves problems, makes appropriate recommendations, and provides specific work. The consultants are mostly billed per hour, day or project, through commission, or can be based on their performance. Most consulting firms in Hong Kong are relocating to China as the market over there booms. However, a business entering the China market has to be aware of the unique features prevalent there. According to Edmund Ho, the CEO of DTZ Debenham Tie Leung, an international property consultant based in Hong Kong, the property market has its own unique features. The design of the housing is different from the Western or even Hong Kong’s, e.g. smaller sitting rooms and kitchen areas as opposed to larger bedrooms. Business Structure To set up the architectural design business in China, the most suitable corporate and management setup must be decided. This will variously depend on the Chinese government regulations. To decide what form is best, there is a need to consider liability issues associated with the business in China and which form will provide the best tax structure for this particular type of business. As a consultancy, there will be no need of incorporating the business. The best form of legal entity to start the consultancy business is the limited liability company (LLC). This will give them control of their venture, less personal liability and afford them the discretion of borrowing funds from other sources. By contracting local and international professional legal experts, the consultancy business venture can be set up successfully (Forming a business). The Marketing Strategy China, as a foreign designation, has a diverse set of cultural norms and a level of capriciousness that far exceeds the usual vola
Most enterprise developers have shifted their attention to high-income earners while taking little or no interest in poor people. People living below the poverty line make up three-fourth of the world’s population. This should be considered by enterprises when coming up with products for profit maximization. This paper helps understand the benefits of identifying with the bottom of the pyramid for developmental purposes and profit making. Manufacturing technologically advance and affordable products for the poor makes B.O.P’s marketing socially acceptable and responsible. This is because the action sustains development in the society. Marketing to the bottom of the pyramid means identifying with the poor and vulnerable people in a society. Addressing issues of the poor entails identification of their needs. This calls for research to determine things required by this group of people to live comfortably (Polak and Warwick 50). People believe that purchasing expensive products equals to a better life. This ideology applies to people with additional income to purchase expensive products. Organizations can obtain a stunning profit by providing the society with better and affordable products than focusing on high-income earners only. For example, in most developing countries, people in rural areas lack electricity. Companies can resort to making solar panels or lanterns that are rechargeable using energy from the sun to cater for the poor. Students gain extra time to read at night and prepare for better grades. When people buy the products, the firm makes more profit. The ideology becomes socially responsible because the lanterns are environmentally friendly and play a role in improving literacy levels within such societies. Reaching out to the grassroots through marketing has made B.O.P to be socially responsible. It creates room for health advancement in the rural areas ( Marketing to the Bottom of the Pyramid 2). According to World Health Organization, approximately 1.8 million people die of diarrhea annually. People with the habit of washing hands with soap are less likely to contact diarrhea. This concept encouraged the establishment of affordable anti-bacterial soaps such as lifebuoy. Reaching out to the people in the rural areas involved a door-to-door campaign. Companies that manufactured lifebuoy initiated production of sizable and affordable products that help the people fight diarrhea. This resulted in more profit, and at the same time helped the community improve its health issues. Marketing of B.P.O promotes equitable distribution of resources within a nation. In most societies, governments rely on equality rather than equity. This has reduced the chances of po
Introduction A number of studies have carried out on the economic impact of international sporting events. The Goldman Sachs recently carried out a study to evaluate the economic impact of the Olympics. The researchers attempted to develop the relationship between economics, markets and the games. This relationship was aimed at coming up with a prediction of the medals table. In their research, they found out that the host nations gain a lot by hosting the games. The results of the researchers established that the host nations gain in the areas of political stability, human capital, technology, and both micro and macro economic environment. The stock market of such countries also gains significantly (The Goldman Sachs, 2012). This works attempts to carry out similar regression analysis in order to validate the results of the Goldman Sachs. A lot of emphasis will be put on developing a regression equation that will be used to predict the medals table. The analysis carried out by the Goldman Sachs As mentioned above, the Goldman Sachs came up with a model to predict the results of the Olympics. The researchers used the concept of panel regression to come up with an equation that can predict the Olympic results for the various nations that attended the games. Panel data regression is carried out on data collected on the same individual over different time periods (Greene, 2003). The explanatory variables used in the analysis were; the population of various countries, a host dummy, medal attainment, and GDP (measured by the growth environment scores). In this paper, the same variables in exclusion of a host dummy will be used in the estimation of the regression line. Besides, a linear regression line will be generated from the sample of 50 countries. The table presented below shows the results of the regression carried out.                                    Coefficients Intercept                          -24.9956     Change in medals                   0.784612     GES score                          6.529764     Population (measures in millions)  0.046876      From the results of regression analysis presented above, the regression line will take the form Y = -24.9956 + 0.784612X 1 + 6.529764X 2 + 0.046876X 3. The linear regression model above can be used to estimate the number of medals that a nation will earn during an Olympics game. Further, all the 50 nations that were used in the Goldman Sachs research were used in this analysis. None of the nation was omitted. Analysis of the results The results of the regression show that countries with high GES score will earn more medals than countries with low medals. This result is shown by the positive relations
The proliferation of gang violence in most communities has become a major cause of concern for governments, correctional facilities, schools, parents, and the public in general. In most cities around the world, gangs have mutated into a national epidemic, turning from fist fighting rookies to hardcore drug peddlers and drive-by gun trotters (Parry, 2009, p. 6). In the US, the problem of gang violence has reached alarming levels since the gangs have penetrated the country’s correctional facilities. Parry argues that some correctional facilities in the US have turned into gang headquarters, with imprisoned gang leaders inventing elaborate communication systems to direct the violence into the outside communities. According to Parry, many gang members found in our streets murder, rob, extort and peddle drugs at the behest of their imprisoned gang leaders. It is the purpose of this essay to discuss the problem of gang membership. The fight against gang violence in many countries could have been won a long time ago was it not for the fact that these gangs keep recruiting new members with much ease. Epidemiological studies conducted over time have revealed some key influences towards gang membership, with the lure of quick money, lack of direction, narcotics, emotional abandonment, personal security, psychological problems, and blatant excitement topping the list (Morris, Rodgers & Williams, 2008, p. 31). Other members register for membership for personal reasons, with some getting recruited to get a sense of belonging. For them, being a part of some underground grouping is viewed as a symbol of power and authority. In some insta
Abstract There is a huge demand for used books because it is easy to acquire cheap books that are still in good condition. It is therefore high time to develop an online bookstore because of the low-risk involved. However, there are three things to consider. First, the existence of a reliable procurement team that can locate and procure quality used books at a low price. Secondly, there is a need for a reliable group of IT workers that that can develop and maintain a website. Finally, a group of workers that can help maintain a brick and mortar store as starting point for marketing and advertising. Introduction The rapid change in technology has made it possible to establish an online business with minimum risks. The cost of creating an online presence is insignificant (Leo, 2009). The only thing needed to do is a plan and hard work. One of the more remarkable business ideas is to sell used books online. According to one commentary, “Sellers of used books help build a better world by preserving and spreading knowledge … helps communities by conserving resources, reducing the waste going to landfills, and making books more affordable (Weber, year, p.7). It is therefore one of those businesses that enable the entrepreneur to make money and do something that is worthwhile. The following is a description of the integrated marketing plan that proves its viability. The target market will be all the consumers of used books in the United States. The inspiration for creating an online used bookstore comes from the success of Amazon the biggest online seller of books, both new and used. In 2002 alone, the founder of Amazon acknowledged that fifteen percent of the orders in the quarter are for used products (Windwalker 2002, p.14). According to one report, “Used book sales on the Internet jumped 33 percent in 2004 … now, one of every 12 books sold is a used book and two-thirds are purchased online with a total annual sales of $609 million (Weber, 2006, p.7). Even if it is relatively easy to establish an online business selling books there is enough opportunities to make it a worthwhile endeavor. Target Market and Competition This business anticipates serving the needs of all potential customers in the United States. The majority is composed of Caucasians around 80% of the population followed by African Americans, around 14% of the population. The rest of the target market is composed of Hispanics and Asians. The specific target market however is the group of consumers with income that are in the range of $50,000 to $100,000. The average age of the potential consumer is 33 years old. The biggest competitor are established online sellers such as Amazon with a market share of 22.6% (Minzesheimer, 2011). The second largest is Barnes & Noble with a market share of 17.3% (Minzesheimer , 2011). This is followed by independent book s
Main Issues The idea of disrupting the traditional pattern of corporate hierarchy and creating an environment where everyone is equal and focused solely on performance is rather tempting. However, the outcomes of the specified initiative defined as holacracy may turn out to be far from the desired ones, as the case under analysis shows quite vividly (Robertson, 2015). The main issue presented in the case is the challenge of transitioning from the traditional structure to the new one. In addition, a range of employees is likely to find it difficult to break the pattern of communication and task management within organizations to which they are used. Last but not least, the problem of control needs to be discussed. Since some of the employees will inevitably perform worse than others and take fewer roles and responsibilities, monitoring the process is still important to locate such cases and introduce appropriate measures. Alternative Solutions Among the most obvious solutions to the current issue, the introduction of a leadership approach that would help to reduce the challenges of the transition deserves a mention first. By providing staff members with a model of what they are expected to achieve at the end of the transition, the employees will be able to develop criteria for their performance and align with them. Moreover, as a leader, one will need to introduce clear and measurable objectives, which will make the performance of staff members meaningful and will help to identify the employees that have difficulties in managing their tasks. Finally, one could incorporate the approach based on employee coaching, where the staff members that have greater prowess in and understanding of the job will instruct and consult those that experience difficulties. Proposed Solution Of all the solutions listed above, the one that suggests the use of the transformational leadership framework seems to be the most legitimate. While the notion of complete discretion in the workplace does sound quite tempting for both managers and employees due to its innovativeness and the potential for addressing the current corporate hierarchical issues, people still may struggle to adjust to it (Blane, 2017). The burden of responsibility that employees will experience while making the decisions that typically rest on managers may be far too heavy for staff members. In turn, a transformational leader will arrange the setting where staff members are most likely to feel comfortable in transitioning from one method of managing their responsibilities to another. Therefore, the suggested solution seems to be the most effective under the given circumstances. Implementation To implement the solution discussed above, one will have to introduce a leader figure that will help staff members to transform their perception of the change observed in the organization. Namely, the employees will have to recognize the transition to a new method of work as simply a new tool for managing their responsibilities. The absence of hierarchy sh
Summary Gender discrimination at workplace has become a common issue in our society. With men and women equally fit to hold management roles, promotion criteria still haunts organizations. As a result, men get more promoted than women. This report illustrates why this trend persist and gives recommendations on how to deal with it. Introduction Why can’t men and women have same opportunities in terms of responsibilities, promotions and recognition at all levels of management? Although most organizations offer opportunities to men and women, representation for such opportunities reflect disparity with men being more recognized. This essay explains why men still get more job promotions in various organizations around the world today. Why men succeed Promotion plays a major role in motivating employees and ensuring that their abilities are fully utilized for the purpose of achieving set goals and objectives. As a result, companies have programs like mentorship which are aimed at propelling employees to higher management roles. However, these programs are not equally created as the mentor is supposed to sponsor the mentee to secure a promotion. Even though more women are being over-mentored in several multinational companies, they are under-sponsored as compared to their male counterparts who have influential sponsorship programs. As a result, men get promoted easily than women regardless of their qualifications (Ibarra, Carter and Silva 82). Additionally, lack of sponsors discourages women from going for higher positions in their line of careers. This lack of enough organizational clout for women is considered as a disadvantage with research indicating that men have 15% higher chances of being promoted (Ibarra, Carter and Silva 82). In other words, more efforts have been put in mentorship and support programs without having a thought of ensuring that women are also fully sponsored to secure higher management roles. Unlike women who are advised on how to understand themselves, choose their best operating styles and what to change as they move up the ladder, men are given promotion tricks on how to win their senior managers and get them promoted to the next level. In areas which are dominated by men, many CEOs view women as risky appointments that may lead to the suffering of the company. As a result, men are given more preference with women being hired from outside the organization. Nevertheless, a number of companies have developed other programs to sponsor women to critical management posts for promotion purposes (Ibarra, Carter and Silva 83). Selection of mentors and sponsors further jeopardizes women’s efforts to
