Analyze the marketing environment for this product/or service in detail iPhone operates in a unique market and that is why we can say that the product is in a challenging environment. It should be known that the product targets a unique group of customers who include professionals, students, and to some extend entrepreneurs (Scott 23). This is a group of consumers who want information and communication at the same time. In addition, this target group has also been synonymous with entertainment and that is why this should be guaranteed. In this case, the global marketing environment is challenging and this is based on various factors. The smartphone and cell phone industry is one of the most profitable and this means that it has attracted a lot of competition. In this case, the product is supposed to compete with other products that were existent in the market meaning that there is a need for creativity to reach out to customers. The company is supposed to get various international approvals and this is quite challenging because there are concerns over global warming. Pollution effects that revolve around packaging and cell radiation have complicated the company’s approach to the product. In this case, materials that are used to package the products are supposed to be environmentally friendly. There are more than 15 products in the market and this means that the product is supposed to be highly innovative (Honan 35). Technology levels have been increasing and changing as time goes by and this has to be integrated into the products marketing strategy. This can be a challenge and advantage depending on how this issue is approached by the company as far as the product is concerned. There is a lot of demand in the market and this means that cell phones are highly nee
Introduction Philosophy in itself is a broad-based discipline that explains knowledge. On the other hand, Christianity elucidates the nature of God as the Supreme Being. From any perspective, the two disciplines agree to some extent that human beings form the subject of the quest for knowledge. The study of philosophical anthropology helps in understanding the nature of humankind concerning the environment. Therefore, psychology and theology have to harmonize their goals in understanding mankind. Christian Theological Understanding of Philosophical Anthropology Religion bases the explanation of human conduct on God’s knowledge. Christianity asserts that human beings are the creatures of God, created in God’s image, and therefore ought to behave as per God Himself, if not for the sins which separated mankind from God ( King James Bible , 1769/2017, Genesis 3:22-24; Isaiah 59:1-3). The Bible also says that no one is blameless before God ( King James Bible , 1769/2017, 1 John 1:8). The Bible recognizes the innate weakness of humankind. Apostle Paul is addressing a character gap asserts that for what he wants to do he does not, but instead what he hates ( King James Bible , 1769/2017, Romans 7:15). The perspectives of understanding personage behavior, therefore, emanate from different premises based on biblical teachings. Psychological Understanding of Philosophical Anthropology Modern philosophers agree that philosophical anthropology is a discipline within the study of knowledge that cannot stand independent of establishing humankind’s relationship with nature. In its simple definition, philosophical anthropology is the study of human character based on different assumptions of establishing the relationship between humankind with his environment and his values (Entwistle, 2015). Being a science, psychology acknowledges human nature to be controlled by some rules or natural laws that govern the structure of the universe in its totality, and it is these guidelines that determine individuals’ behavior (Entwistle, 2015). Psychology bases its understanding of human behavior on nature. An analysis of psychological explanations for human behavior gives philosophical anthropology an in-depth meaning from a realistic point of view. Psychology uses the methodological naturalism law which argues that the world is an orderly place and scrutiny can lead one to recognize the constancies of experiences like anthropoid actions (Entwistle, 2015). In addition, psychology employs scientific explanations and metaphysical assumptions to study personage character (Entwistle, 2015). Besides, psychologists use reason and deductive logic to establish their theories about discerning mankind’s habits (Entwistle, 2015). Those who study phrenic habits also rely on statistical research and methodologies by collecting and evaluating quantifiable data to organize and predict their observations about individuals’ exploits (Entwistle, 2015). Notably, psychologists argue that people’s conduct as a result of multiplex, amazing, but sometimes overwhelmed
According to Adam Smith, people are by their very nature endowed with the sense of morality. In its turn, this presupposes that, while deciding in favor of a particular course of action, which will affect others, individuals do strive to assess the extent of this action’s moral appropriateness. Nevertheless, there is much subjectivity in how they do it because the universally applicable rules of a moral behavior do not necessarily correlate with what happened to be the essence of each particular individual’s ethical longings. This is why, as practice indicates, people’s affiliation with the rules of morality often appears rather superficial: “Many men behave very decently… (but) never felt the sentiment upon the propriety of which we found our approbation of their conduct” (Smith par. 1). The reason for this is that, contrary to what many people think, the rules of morality are simultaneously ‘given’ (by God) and continuously formed, in regards to what happened to be the affiliated external circumstances. As such, they are better defined as social constructs, meant to ensure the society’s proper functioning. What causes many people to disregard the rules of morality, while facing life-challenges, is that there is a certain inconsistency between people’s longing towards justice and their irrational expectation for this longing to be rewarded. While justifying his line of reasoning, in this respect, Smith points out to the fact that people are predetermined to seek truth and justice, as their foremost priority in life: “What is agreeable to our moral faculties, is fit, and right, and proper to be done; the contrary wrong, unfit, and improper” (par. 5). Therefore, it is only natural for them to expect that, while acting in the morally virtuous manner, they should face the prospect of an eventual compensation: “What is the reward most proper for encouraging industry, prudence, and circumspection? Success in every sort of business” (par. 9). Nevertheless, as practice indicates, such people’s expectation often remains in vain, as the laws of nature do not always favor morally virtuous individuals. Quite on the contrary – it is specifically people’s willingness to defy the rules of a conventional morally, which usually makes it possible for them to be able to attain a social prominence. As Smith noted: “The natural course of things decides it in favor of the knave: the natural sentiments of mankind in favor of the man of virtue” (par. 9). This, however, does not provide people with a good enough excuse to behave immorally. The reason for this is apparent – while engaging with the notion of justice, individuals tend to overlook what accounts for the ap
Case Synopsis Key Issues “Longxiang Building Material co., Ltd” is a construction company that provides a wide plethora of construction materials to customers all across China. It is known in the region for the good quality of its merchandise. The company retains good positions in the region and wishes to expand its reach to the foreign markets to increase its profits. However, in order to do so, it has to overcome the internal problems that are holding it down and diminish its potential. This consulting report addresses and identifies three key issues the company is struggling with at the moment. These are:   * The high staff turnover rates among managers.   * High levels of corruption among the company managers   * The inability to replace corrupt elements by finding new and skilled personnel. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the present problems and provide effective and coherent instructions compatible with the company’s 5-year plan. During this period, Longxiang is expected to deal with its internal problems and improve its production rates to expand to the foreign markets. Methods The primary method of data collection for this study is the interview. After receiving the company’s approval, it was made possible to conduct numerous interviews with the employees. Initially, the respondents were reluctant to share any information, fearing punishment, and retribution for saying too much. However, after having been promised anonymity, many showed the desire to participate in the study. Over 300 employees were interviewed in the process, which allows us to claim that the results of the study hold a high degree of credibility. The participants were asked four questions and were encouraged to elaborate on the answers as much as possible. These questions were:  1. What do you dislike about the company?  2. What factors, in your opinion, are holding down the company’s development?  3. What is your opinion of the mid- and high executive managerial personnel?  4. What should be done to improve the company? The answers to the first question generally addressed personal grudges and did not provide any relevant data. The second and the third question, however, provided the basis for analysis, as the answers were impersonal and impartial. They addressed the actual underlying issues of the company. The ideas for improvement given by the employees were diverse and numerous, perhaps too much to provide anything finite and conclusive. In addition, this study made use of dedicated literature in order to study the national specifics of business practices in China and identify any recommended ways of solving problems that were mentioned at the beginning of this report. Analysis of the Situation The rationale for a change within “Longxiang Building Material Co., Ltd” is simple and obvious – it has to deal with the three underlying issues in or
Introduction Apple Inc. is one of the most prosperous electronic firms in the world. Two scientists, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, started this firm on April 1, 1976. These two individuals were electronic enthusiasts. They were interested in turning their skills in electronics into large business units. Steve Wozniak, popularly known as Woz, was an astute electrician with a keen interest in computers. It was during this time that computers were started. Steve Jobs on the other hand was a shrewd businessperson. Although Woz was more knowledgeable than Jobs in the art of designing computer hardware, Jobs was smatter in entrepreneurship. While Woz considered his skills in making computers as a hobby, Jobs saw a huge potential of stating a computer firm that would rival the then leading computer firm, the IBM. Jobs managed to convince Woz of the importance of commercializing their skills, and together, they started this company. They later incorporated Ronald Wayne, a rich businessperson who came in to help the two financially. The trio formed a formidable force, which culminated into a company that is prosperous and very profitable. Although this company had various challenges that saw it eliminate its Chief Executive Officer, who was one of the founder members, in 1985, the firm was able to overcome these challenges using a number of strategies. Steve Jobs, having been forced out of the firm in 1985 as the chief executive, made a came-back in 1997 with strategies that transformed this firm to what it is currently. Freeman (42) says that Apple is one of the firms that were able to overcome the wave of.com crisis of the early twentieth century that brought down many firm, especially those that were computer based. Through hard work and good policies, this firm was able to beat Microsoft- its arch rival- in profit and revenue generation in the year 2010. In the same year, it was ranked one of the most innovative firms in the world, having introduced its iPad products into the market. As at current, this firm has some of the most attractive electronic products in the market. Its iPad is still attracting huge sales in the international markets. With a marketing strategy that has made its products secure a special niche in the current competitive electronic market, this firm has attracted the admiration of many scholars and entrepreneurs alike. It is for this reason that the researcher has decided to give a comprehensive review of this firm’s winning strategies. This study aims at critically analyzing the strategies used by this firm in managing the current competitive business environment in the world. Apple’s Strategy and its Importance It is very important for a firm to understand clearly its str
The provision of consumer protection is influenced by specific objectives being addressed. The prior approval on one extreme end requires a product and traders to be authorized before they enter the market and in, particularly as a matter of concern consumer products, their type of approach is mostly reserved for sectors that are hazardous like pharmaceuticals, while for traders it is reserved for professionals whose activities can pose a considerable degree of harm when undertaken poorly. At the same time, an industry can be allowed to regulate practice and self-regulation will be used in which industries are trusted to put their own houses in order. The term standard is used in different contexts as will become. ( Hadfield, et al. 1998 ) Within the law, the law warranties have a role in a consumer’s purchase decisions (Wilkes and Wilcox, 1981). A product with a limited warranty is less desirable than the one with superior warranties that are associated with even greater quality and therefore less risk ( Bearden and ship 1982; Perry and Perry 1976 ). Products need not be complex and expensive for warranties to be understood. Manufacturers are likely to change either full or limited warranties because in the provision there was confusion and this includes the difficulty to interpret the prospect of burden and cost. The consumer often believes that a warranty serves the purpose of reducing post-purchase risks just in case the product fails to function. As regards consumer protection, consumers face serious threats to their health and safety. The role plays by the law in the control of the supply of products that are harmful to the body remains only to few people who can dispute. It is not clear to what basis exactly this law should provide protection. Consumers are unaware the threats such products pose due to lack of enough information and therefore these products get to harmful to third parties. As a result this safety regulation is justified from economic point of view. However beyond this type of analysis I can argue that even though consumers might have been informed about the risks the products pose to them, the risk of the products affecting third parties were non-existent. Legal techniques in various forms exist and are open to policy makers although all of them have inherent advantages and disadvantages ( Peter Cartwright, 1999 ). As concerns Business Law, Consumer protection laws are made mainly to protect consumers and are drawn on legal forms, criminal laws also included, tort and contract for their objectives to be attained. As a primary concern other numerous provisions like prosecutions of fraud and protecting property that facilitates litigation also protects the consumer. The due effect of this is that the boundaries of consumer protection law are not easy to draw. This therefore provides evidence that the level of education needed to read and understand is way beyond of what 50% of the population of America has attained, the 12.7 the median years of education completed and adults 25 years or older and way beyond. This evidence should indicate in essence that warranties need continued improvement to be more readabl

Introduction Most people know that fatty foods increase cholesterol levels in the body. However, some people inherit cholesterol from their parents. Genetically acquired illnesses are sometimes quite dangerous. One such inherited illness is familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). FH can be defined as an inherited condition in which the level of bad cholesterol is elevated than that of normal cholesterol. Bad cholesterol is usually known as low-density liloprotein (LDL). In most cases, fatty lumps around the eye characterise the disease (1). However, fatty lumps can also appear anywhere on the skin. Having a routine check up can help in discovering the condition. Studies show that one in every 500 people is thought to have FH (8). Treatment for FH usually includes medication and a healthy living aimed at containing the level of cholesterol. This paper will explore the pathogenesis, genetics, clinical symptoms, prognosis and dietary management of familial hypercholesterolemia (1). Pathogenesis and genetics FH is known as a disorder associated with grossly malfunctioning or missing LDL receptors. Usually, this receptor is situated in the diminutive arm of chromosome 19. It should be noted that protein around this layer contains 860 amino acids (3). These receptors determine hepatic LDL uptake and therefore process about 70 per cent of LDL that circulates. ApoE and apolipoprotein B-100 are bound to the LDL receptor. This is why the receptor is sometimes known as the BE receptor. ApoE is found in all loliproteins except LDL. It should also be noted that apoE binds more with the LDL receptor than apoB (4). According to research studies done by Goldstein and Brown in the years 1973 and 1974 respectively, FH defects is mainly in the cell membrane receptor for the low-density liloprotein cholesterol. Usually, the LDL cholesterol is moved to the cell ending by lysosomes (4). At this point, protein is usually degraded upon which cholesterol is repressed for “microsomal enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase,” which is sometimes shortened as (HMGCoA). This process acts to limit rate in synthesis of cholesterol. However, in FH, a dysfunctional receptor causes binding effect. Moreover, synthesis of cholesterol ester also occurs. Further studies showed that liver membrane also acts as a site for receptor defect. Harders-Spendel et al. conducted this research, in 1982. Additional research in 2001 showed that high levels of LDL cholesterol were closely linked to low weight of children at birth. Moreover, not only were LDL cholesterols present but apolipoprotein B cholesterols were also present (4). More research by
Objective of Airline in Australia The objective of the airlines would be providing better services and products to new destinations. There are untapped markets in the business field that are a lucrative form of investment. If the investors keenly assert their objectives and service provision, there is possibility of having a niche market that will accrue success. Again, there is the aspect of providing a range of new services to the field. There are some services that are lacking in the market due to lack of suppliers. Starting a new range of services will be greatly appreciated. Similarly, the business is to bridge the existing gap in the market. The airline will make it easier for people to connect to some terminals that have not been existent. For instance, there are many places within the country that do not have a linkage that uses airlines. Location and Destination The head quarter of the airline will be at Canberra which is the capital city of Australia. This is the best location for the airline industry as it is a busy city that has a large population density. This will provide the avenues of having a deeper niche market that will accrue large business transactions. To add on, the city is a busy one that has many people travelling in and out. This is the targeted market for the airline industry (Juttner, 2005, pp. 4-9). Moreover, it will be easier for the legal processions to be done in Canberra than in any other location. The airline will operate in a number of destinations within the country. These are the initial stages before the upgrading into other destinations that are international. For instance, the airline will operate in Sydney, Alice Springs, Port Hedland, Darwin, Perth and Townsville. These are the basic destinations that will form a possible business niche for the airline. Type of Business Ownership The business will be a shareholding airline that has a number of investors that are interested in making lucrative profits. The business will rely on the contributions by the investors for capital formation. The investors will have the free will of deciding the amount of cash they can inject into the project. Similarly, the interested parties will have a pool of ideas that could be used in the business for effective running. The sharing of ideas will help the business in attaining its success in a number of ways. Since the stakeholders have vested interests in the capital formation and the business, they will only give successive ideas. Retrogressive ideas will not be accepted as the number of people involved will notice it (Juttner, 2005, pp. 7-15). Day Operations in the Instrument Landing System The airline will effectively adhere to the instrument landing system in all its landing in relation to aircrafts. There are a number of factors that the aircraft management will use in effecting the landing and off take of the aircrafts. By using combinations of radio signals, the aircraft management will decide on the landing procedures from the information received. For instance, there will be keen observation on the intensity of lighting and visibility (Happy, 2010, pp. 45-50). These are
