Introduction The purpose of this marketing assignment is to illustrate conceptual framework of steps to assess and penetrate in a new market or a selected country with a particular product. To do so, this study has selected Bangladesh as a new market and affordable low priced cars of RAK (UAE) as new product while final product would be assembled with imported components by using domestic labour forces and locally available resources. First Screening – Basic Needs Habib (1) reported that highly populated Bangladesh is one of the biggest importer of Japanese old cars with tremendous market demand, but the government has setup embargo for not to import vehicles less than three years as the county is suffering emissions from old automobiles. The government also set Euro emission norms along with different measures to reduce emissions from automobiles, but due to high rush of passengers and transport crisis, it is difficult to maintain the standards boldly where one car per one thousand citizens in context of population census of 2003. The most hazardous scenario of roads and highways of Bangladesh are the rickshaws, a mechanical three-wheeler pulled by human that generates traffic system failure and the policymakers are deeply concerned to keep a stopple for such manual rickshaws by small vehicles. The market needs of automobiles in Bangladesh is similar to any other developing countries where both the commercial and private use of vehicles play a noteworthy role to facilitate citizens to move any time and to carrying their goods and raw materials anywhere (“Demand for Used Cars Surges” par. 1). Beside the individualized requirement, the market also huge demand for public service vehicles, export mobility agricultural purposes and so on, while a very fewer comes from local assembling and most of the supplied from used and reconditioned foreign companies both light and heavy motor vehicles. The automobile sector of Bangladesh is flourishing due to increasing income level, export growth and rinsing balance of trade, development of roads and highways, and availability of financial support from the financial institutions, every public and private bank have “Car Loan Program” with competitive offerings. At the same time, governmental emphasis on the improvement of transport and communication, effectual transport policy, financing from formal and non-formal such as renal and leasing companies and availability of local natural gas for fueling are the major reasons of increasing demand for affordable motorcars. Thus, the affordable motorcars would be an appropriate solution for private transportation. Habib (3) pointed out that the Bangladeshi motor vehicles users have to pay 120% load of heavy duty and taxation, which makes the price higher than the price of new cars in the developed countries. Thus, by setting up an assembling plant here by using local labor forces and domestic resources, the proposed car marketer would attain further 80% of cost saving and such costing benefit would generate enhanced scope for the people to obtain a brand new car. At the same time, involvement of local human resource and talent for assembling and marketing would ge
Why are companies interested in expanding into emerging economies if they are well known for political instability and corruption? The main driver for the investment in the emerging economies and international expansion is considered the lack of opportunities for the further development of the domestic market. It may be a reasonable explanation for the internationalization process in the case of General Electric’s (GE), a highly successful and competitive enterprise in the USA (Mark 2). It is observed in the related literature findings that the organizations usually invest abroad merely after obtaining a strong and competitive position in the domestic market because, in this way, they will have sufficient experience gained through overcoming numerous challenges (Bosco, Bratucu and Baltescu 10). Moreover, experienced organizations usually have exceeded resources that allow them to reduce the risk of significant financial loss while entering an unfamiliar market. Another motivation for the international expansion of business is the development of competitiveness. Since the main GE’s rivals were already present in the developing markets, GE’s entry to the Middle East region helped the company to take away a portion of their profit (Mark 3). Moreover, through the investigation of new regions, the organization attains new knowledge that may enhance its innovativeness and technological advancement (Amann and Cantwell 112). As a result, new competitive advantages may be developed. How GE succeeded in operating in MENAT given the barrier to its entry it was facing? The Middle East and North Africa region is known for its difficult political environment and is characterized by the high rates of corruption (Mark 4). These difficulties may be regarded as the risk factors for the failure of effective integration into the market (Li and Zhou 857). Without support from the government and in an attempt to overcome the political challenges, organizations will likely not be able to sustain. GE could overcome the potential political and financial threats “in a cautious manner,” by limiting the number of direct investments in the region and formation of joint ventures with the local enterprises (Mark 5). It is possible to assume that by doing so, the organization avoided significant financial loss and reduced the costs while entering MENAT. Nevertheless, the expansion progress was significantly slowed down, and GE experienced difficulties in the establishment of relations with the local customers. Overall, it is possible to assume that slow temps of expansion may benefit the organization in the accumulation of experience and in the learning of customer’s preferences. The cautious approach is a smart strategic decision helping to dodge the fatal errors and ultimately consolidate the position in the market in the future perspective. How can GE achieve a continuously high rate of growth without compromising high corporate standards? GE’s corporate standards include social values such as environmental protection, civil rights protection, promotion of equality, multidimensional development of local communities, infrastructures, and economies, etc. (Mark 9
Students should keep track of the time they have to meet their responsibilities. The first strategy in being a good time manager is ensuring that everything is planned ahead of time. Students should develop a habit to always map their time with a plan highlighting what they should be doing at a specific time every day. This ensures that students cover all their responsibilities with minimal lateness. The second strategy involves prioritizing tasks. This strategy works in time management because it allows students to start working on activities with the shortest deadlines first. It also allows students to keep track of their daily responsibilities. The third time management strategy involves being flexible. This involves sacrificing leisure time to handle more important responsibilities. For instance, one could miss a movie to finish his or her homework (Nellen, 2000). Assignment completion and returning Class attendance, assignment completion, and timely returning of assignments should be the top priorities for students. Being effective in these priorities is easy when using the timetable scheduling strategy. This involves highlighting the due dates for assignments, and starting with the most pressing assignments with reference to time. The second strategy involves placing the assignments at a time based plan whereby the student makes it his or her sole purpose to cover specific parts of the assignment within personally set deadlines. This method allows students to space out their assignment handling time. The third strategy involves keeping reminders to keep students focused on their assignments and their deadlines. Keeping an alarm to remind the students about the return dates and time is essential (Nellen, 2000). Staying organized Keeping an appointment calendar is one of the most effective strategies into staying organized. Students should carry a list of the things they are supposed to do everywhere they go to ensure they
Colon and cancer The colon is the longest and widest gastrointestinal tube in the human digestive system. Its lumen is composed of waste solid materials from which water and salt are extracted before excretion. It is prone to some diseases such as cancer. Cancer is a disease characterized by unrestricted division and growth of cells; colon cancer results from these unrestrained cell growths within the large intestine. Most of the cases of colon cancer have been found to start as small benign tumors referred to as adenomas on the walls of the large intestine. Some of these tumors end up growing into nasty colon cancers if not eradicated during the colonoscopy procedure. Cancer is caused by the uncontrolled growth of cells that do not die. Normal cells within a living organism undergo apoptosis, and when apoptosis fails, cancer develops. Colon cancer cells continuously grow and divide without undergoing programmatic death. From research carried, it is evident that many factors contribute to individuals suffering from this disease. Some of the potential risk factors include age, race, personal history, syndrome inheritance, family history, diet, and an individual’s lifestyle (Adrouny, 2002). Risk factors for colon cancer The majority of the people suffering from colon cancer are those above 50 years. It also affects individuals of a younger age but only occasionally. Besides age, the race also exposes some individuals to colon cancer. For instance, Black Americans are affected greatly by colon cancer compared to other races. According to researchers, it is also evident that an individual who had suffered from adenomatous polyps has great chances of suffering from colon cancer. Some intestinal conditions may also expose a person to contracting colon cancer; for example, chronic diseases such as Crohn’s disease advances into colon cancer (Adrouny, 2002). Colon cancer is among the diseases that pass from one generation to another; genetic diseases such as familial adenomatous polyposis may lead to an individual suffering from colon cancer. In addition, poor eating habits and lifestyles contribute to an individual suffering from colon cancer. It has also been found out that too much consumption of red meat and lack of physical exercise results in this disease. Besides, some health conditions expose individuals to colon cancer. For example, individuals with diabetes can
Hypertension is a common problem among the adult population. Thus, the role of out-patient clinics is to teach patients to self-monitor their blood pressure regularly to prevent hypertension. Telehealth and telemedicine are effective means of primary care used by primary care nurses, health assistants, general practitioners, and patients to measure blood pressure in a clinic or at home. Telemonitoring is an important and helpful technology that can be used in out-patient clinics for primary care with a focus on the teach-back method for patients’ self-management of hypertension. Although this technology may require some additional resources and time needed to teach both clinicians and patients to use it, it will help prevent uncontrolled hypertension, predict cardiovascular risk, reduce the cost of long-term care, and reduce the necessity to attend the clinic as often as patients did before. The current paper will focus on the use of telemonitoring as a means to gather and analyze patient home-monitored blood pressure readings. The first section of the paper will provide a precis of the peer-reviewed scholarly article written by Hammersley et al. (2020). The purpose of this part is to introduce the readers to an integrated telemonitoring system and demonstrate how this system can be used in the primary care unit. The next part will introduce the mind map and discuss this mind map, basing on the reviewed article and other peer-reviewed sources. The conclusion section will summarize the main ideas of the paper and support the main argument. Precis The article “Telemonitoring at Scale for Hypertension in Primary Care: An Implementation Study” by Hammersley et al. (2020) was published in PLoS Med peer-reviewed journal. This quasi-experimental implementation study explored the feasibility and impact of the use of an integrated telemonitoring system for hypertension management and measurement in routine primary care. The article is arranged in the following way. First, the authors provide background inf
Introduction Natural resources are those resources that occur naturally around us, on which we depend for survival. These include water, agriculture, wildlife, etc. (Murphy, S., 2008). All these resources are possessions that are of immense use to us humans, provided we utilize, manage and restore them the proper way. Natural resources are assets of nature bestowed upon people, present all around, in the bush, in oceans, in towns, cities, and in forests (“Natural Resource Management in South Australia”, 2008). There are some countries which are naturally very resourceful, as compared to others. The climates and conditions of certain areas are better, thereby producing better and more resources. Canada is one such country, which is abundant in natural resources, which provide many advantages in diverse ways. Canada’s Natural Resources Canada has certain sectors of natural resources, like forests, energy, minerals, and metals, which are of immense importance to the economy, and to the society as a whole. The benefits attained due to the existence of these resources are many, providing economic and social profits to the people. The natural resources have significantly produced employment opportunities for new generations, giving rise to upcoming businesses, with full flourishing results. Not only have these resources benefited the country, but Canada has also assisted other countries due to its massive export projects, pertaining to natural resources (“Canada’s Natural Resources”, 2008). Since the world is becoming a global investment market, Canada has to face many challenges due to the rising competition. Many strategies have to be developed further for the sustenance of natural resource development. There are efforts being put in for further growth of the economy through the prevailing resources, with certain bodies being established for shaping their contributions to the lives of the Canadians. Natural Resources Canada The government of Canada has a department named the ‘Natural Resources Canada’, which is responsible for the resources present in the country, and their proper and appropriate usage. This department plays a pivotal role in developing policies and strategies for the utilization and distribution of resources, in order to attain the maximum benefits from them, in industry and otherwise. Natural Resources Canada (NRC), has expertise in Earth sciences and science and technology, which assists them in their program developments (“Canada’s Natural Resources”, 2008). With the vision to make Canada the world’s “smartest” natural resources developer, along with being the most ‘environmentally friendly, socially responsible, productive and competitive’ nation, Natural Resources Canada endorses the resources with a good perceptive of the landmass. This body works for the best use of the resources, keeping in mind the factors that are sign
Abstract The primary goal of the paper is to evaluate the significance of the students’ migration after the graduation and determine the reasons for the lack of desire to return to their hometowns. It was revealed that the university and college education is a necessity and beneficial for the society. Nonetheless, the issue related to the student migration has a tendency to exist in Memphis and the United States of America. The primary reasons for the existence of this social phenomenon are the chosen cities provide favorable career prospects, well-established university connections with the potential employers, well-developed social infrastructure, and perceptions of success, which are actively cultivated in the modern society. Nonetheless, despite being beneficial for the future of the students, it has an adverse impact on the local communities and economies, as the towns lack qualified personnel. In this instance, the solutions to this issue have to be established to eliminate the future damage of the local and national economies. One of the solutions is to pay high attention to the innovation and growth of the local companies, as they provide the ground for the development of career prospects. Another solution is to provide financial aid to the students to motivate them to return and stay in the hometown after the graduation. Lastly, the development of the educational programs and the quality are also important and have to be supported by the administration of Memphis actively. A combination of these actions is necessary to solve the existing problem. Introduction University and college are essential parts of the life of any individual, as this type of experience contributes to the establishment of the coherent social network, which can be beneficial in future. Moreover, university life is full of opportunities, which involve intense socialization with the other students, professors, and companies’ representatives. Furthermore, it is evident that college and university graduates receive high salaries and prioritize the marriage in their lives (“Reports tout benefits,” 2010). Additionally, the research revealed that the college and university graduates have a lower tendency of being obese or having a smoking addition (“Reports tout benefits,” 2010). It is apparent that they have higher satisfaction in life and are able to achieve higher results at work and while raising children. In this instance, it is evident that college and university education is beneficial for the students and local communities, as it cultivates positive attitudes about the work and interpersonal social relationships. It is apparent that the university or college education is a necessity, but it is also one of the reasons for the student migration. Nonetheless, people have a tendency to choose the other cities to continue with their education, and there are several reasons for that. This trend has a tendency to exist everywhere in the world, for
The pieces created by David Hockney and John Singer Sargent can be compared in terms of their varying characteristics determining the belonging of each of them either to drawings or paintings. In the former case, the artist’s work is distinguished by the use of lines to portray objects complemented by shading (Eden Gallery, 2021). In contrast, Sargent’s painting is typical for the type of art since it is abstract, with the inclusion of a greater variety of colors, and focused on forms rather than clarity (Eden Gallery, 2021). Hence, the distinction between these two examples is reasonable due to the varying orientations of their creators. Even though drawings are typically created with the help of dry media, such as pens or chalks, this fact does not change the nature of this artwork. The specified definitions directly relate to the examined images as they contain the main features of different means and tools, accordingly. In this situation, the line between these examples can be drawn concerning their visual representation, which is either lines or forms (Eden Gallery, 2021). Also, both pieces’ subjects are landscape, whereas in Hockney’s piece, it is natural scenery, and for Sargent, it is a depiction of a city. In formal terms, Hockney’s drawing is defined by the emphasis on its central part and the use of a variety of shapes created by multiple lines (Chapman, 2018). In turn, Sargent’s painting has a more balanced selection of colors and a lack of clear emphasis on specific objects (Chapman, 2018). In both artworks, the content is transmitted through varying means: Hockney’s attention is on the path as the main element, and Sargent portrays the scene without details. As for the medium, its effect on Hockney’s image is in the meaning of objects, and for Sargent, it serves for describing a process in motion.
Introduction The main point of the argument is that philosophical approaches to business ethics provide guidelines for making ethical business decisions, but some of these approaches are controversial and have no support from most moral scholars. The philosophical approaches to ethics are deontology, consequentalism, and virtue ethics (Hill 148). They help business people to make ethical decisions. Business people may also consider personal ethics, organisational policies, and legal provisions alongside the philosophical approaches to ethics as they make ethical decisions. The straw men approaches to business ethics consist of Friedman doctrine, the righteous moralist, cultural relativism, and naive moralist (Wyld 1-3). Managers do not carefully evaluate these ideas, but they use them to find solutions. Utilitarian approach to ethics posits that the utmost benefits can only come from morally right decisions regardless of the method used like coercion, manipulation, or lies. Kantian approach to ethics values the importance of people who should only be ends and not merely as means to the ends (Rachels 34). The essay covers main points of the straw men approaches to business ethics and their different concepts. The straw men approaches In business, people want to attribute weak points to opposing views. The aim of the straw man is to present weak points in an argument, which the opponent can easily contest and portray the opponent’s whole concept as disapproved (Wyld 1-3). The Friedman doctrine asserts that a business should only have one social responsibility of making profits by using its resources legally in an open and free manner without perpetuating fraud or sham. Hence, social responsibility of any business entity should be to make proceeds without violation of the law. According to this view, any business should not take any responsibility beyond those covered by the law. Social responsibility and business ethics have similar meanings to scholars who consider them as tantamount to ethical behaviours. However, some scholars have claimed that this concept does not support business ethics. Scholars have also focused on cultural relativism under the straw man and business ethics. Cultural relativism claims that ethics is simply a reflection of a given culture. In other words, it is culture, which determines all aspects of ethics. Therefore, a company should only apply or adopt the concept of ethics within its culture. Cultural relativism also shows that there is no advanced culture than other cultures when considered with regard to politics, laws, and morality among others. All cultures are valid and not the truth is a relative concept. However, this depends on a specific cultural environment. Another straw man approach includes a righteous relativism. Home countries of multinational firms have the most suitable ethics for othe
