Introduction Lycopersicon esculentum also known as tomato is ordinarily used as vegetable and traces its origin from South of America. The fruit remains as one of the spicy produce that is typically bright-red in pigment when ripe. Tomatoes may be consumed when garden-fresh, broiled, or incorporated in lots of diverse types of diets. Health-wise, tomatoes comprise of several valuable nutrients having different qualities and purposes. The unrelenting significance of Lycopersicon esculentum as a salad or vegetable product is echoed by dimensional studies on almost all features in the yield. More than 1,000 scientific researches involving studies of tomatoes have been printed since the fiscal 2000. These do not consist of researches that fall under workshop reports, seminars, and other read collected works. Therefore, this paper examines the topical discoveries on the expanses of tomato nutrition. The paper scrutinizes the antioxidants, essential vitamins, health benefits, storage and selection, methods of preparation and serving, as well as the side effects of tomato. The consumption of tomatoes is an excellent source of essential elements and nutrients such as vitamins A and C necessary for keeping the body healthy and prevents a variety of diseases. Nutrition realities regarding tomatoes Tomato is one of the nourishing drupes that are normally regarded as vegetable. The unbelievable phyto-chemical features in this self-effacing vegetable have grasped the consideration of masses of health pursuers. Tomato has numerous health advantageous properties compared to the benefits of an apple fruit. Botanically, tomato falls in the family of common vegetable named nightshade or Solanaceae. The family also contains eggplants, potatoes, and chili peppers. Tomato was found in the central parts of USA as it was produced during the periods of Aztecs. This was prior to its exploration by the Spaniards who spread it to other parts of the globe. Several cultivars produce varieties of tomatoes that are used for consumption. Such varieties appear in diverse sizes or types and are either hybrid, organic, or genetically mutilated (Spencer & Kuhnle, 2005). On the other hand, several producers harvest the red fruitlet yet others in corporate prospects produce tomatoes that are silvery, lime, florid, glowing, carroty, or blonde in pigment. The Heirloom tomatoes are gradually becoming prevalent mainly amongst organic manufacturers. These varieties tend to generate more appetizing and natural tomato fruitlets. The Heirloom variety is currently produced on global basis as the leading vegetable along the lines of potatoes, chili and onions. However, Cherry tomatoes that fall in the same family (Solanaceae) appear to be cherry-sized, rotund, and small (Spencer & Kuhnle, 2005). The antioxidants The richest source of frolic acid as well as vitamins C and A is tomatoes. Actually, tomatoes encompass a wide assortment of advantageous antioxidants and nutrients. These include lutein, beta-carotene, folic acid, choline, lycopene, and alpha-lipoic acid. The acid (Alpha-lipoic) assists the body in converting glucose to energy (Jacob, 2010, p. 195). Ce
Introduction Mr. Kirby’s company has been running a webpage to provide the customers with the golf commodities available for online purchasing. However, the firm needs a distinct e-commerce strategy to be able to address the contemporary customer needs and requirements in terms of online shopping experience. Additionally, the company is inactive in social media and has weak digital presence; therefore, it is essential that Mr. Kirby reevaluates the business opportunity that online virtual presence can provide. Business Challenges and IT Role At present, Mr. Kirby’s company has several challenges to overcome. First, the enterprise has no online store, which is the owner’s main concern. Second, the firm’s webpage is outdated, and mobile services are unavailable. Third, the company does not deploy the opportunity to furnish customer support in social media. Fourth, the employees have little experience in e-commerce strategy; therefore, they cannot take the necessary measures to improve the digital presence of the golf course. Notably, limited IT application plays the critical role for the company since, if it implements the technology in a feasible way, the company will increase its performance several times. For instance, the firm will be able to attain its competitive edge through optimization of the processes and tailoring the solution to contemporary business requirements (Thomas, 2015). Moreover, it will reduce costs while increasing sales. It will be achieved by streamlining the employee management and attracting new customers to the modernized website, which will be highly functional and allow mobile browsing appreciated by the modern customers. Quality shopping experience will allow building loyalty and increasing client satisfaction. Competition Despite the fact that Mr. Kirby is seeking for a solution that would make the company unique, it is essential to analyze the rivalry to gain an understanding of the ways similar companies were able to gain a competitive edge and expand. According to the secondary data, one of the main competitors in golf course is Hollywood Beach Golf Resort (HBGR). HBGR has been an active user and developer of their webpage. The company has optimized it and employed the mobile version to allow the customers obtain positive e
Case conceptualization is the process of analyzing and putting together patient’s clinical assessment information obtained either through interview, observation or physical assessment in order to come up with hypothesis explaining the patient’s underlying illness (Braun & Cox, 2005). After identifying the presenting problem physician designs a treatment plan for the patient. A treatment plan involves; setting up of therapy goals, choosing appropriate treatment guiding procedure and planning in terms of therapy time frame and resources required to achieve anticipated prognosis (Kang, Kok & Bateman, 2005). Clinical assessment and diagnosis have a critical role in case conceptualization. They facilitate efficient identification and assembling of related features during patient review. For instance, incases of multiple illnesses where related signs and symptoms have to be put together and interlinked in order to come up with a diagnosis (Kang, Kok & Bateman, 2005). To come up with a proper diagnosis a physician has to incorporate and organize clinical assessment data. In addition, he has to critically analyze it and blend it as he converges to the right point. Through assessing a patient, a physician is able to get insight and have a basis for explaining his diagnosis. Additionally, it puts him in a position to explain how illness has evolved and its devastating impact to the patient (Mead, Hohenshil & Singh, 1997). Despite formulating diagnosis from clinical assessment, they also forms avenue for determining the expected patient’s prognosis. A physician is able to set therapy time frame and predict on patient’s prognosis. Based on the expected therapy out come and formulated treatment plan, physician can monitor patient’s progress and continuously determine the degree of progress achieved at particular point of therapy process. Patient’s clinical assessment and diagnosis forms physician guidance frame work. It directs him in formulating therapy interventions, goals and the modalities to be applied in therapy process in addition to strategizing treatment plan. They also determine the need for patient’s treatment collaboration between different therapy departments. For instance, psychiatric patient
Summary of the Article The title of the article under discussion in this paper is ‘Google building android game console’. The article is authored by Amir Efrati and Ian Sherr and published in the wall street journal. The article is about Google’s competitive strategy in the information and communication technology industry. The company plans to introduce two new products (wristwatch and video game console) to the market. These products will be powered by Google’s android software launched in 2008 and will aim at combating Apple’s future devices and give the company (Google) a competitive edge. The two devices will also aim at expanding the usage of the android software beyond tablets and smart phones. Apart from the two devices, Google also plans to launch a second version of android called Nexus Q, which is used for live streaming of information. Statement of the intentions of the paper The paper intends to identify and elaborate some aspects of competitiveness which the authors did not address in the article. The only aspect of competitiveness addressed by the authors in the article is rivalry among existing competitors. However, they have not addressed bargaining power of buyers, bargaining power of suppliers, threat of new entrants, threat of substitute products and services, product positioning and differentiation. Threat of new entrants In order to gain a portion of a market and build trust with the customers, new entrants usually come with unique approaches in any given industry. In most cases, they use pricing as a strategy of entering the markets. They do this by setting the prices of their products at low levels than those of the incumbents. Others may focus on improving the quality of their products so as to attract customers (Hill and Gareth 3). The reduction of price and quality improvement makes the industry very competitive for the incumbents and sometimes they may be forced to quit the industry especially if the new entrants posses huge capital. In a reaction to price reduction and quality improvement, the incumbents may come up with strategies of putting barriers aimed at preventing new entrants from entering the industry. For example, they may adopt very sophisticated technologies which are not easily available. They may also consider putting barriers to the access of the distribution channels so that new entrants may be scared away by the restricted access to supply channels (Hill and Gareth 3). Another reaction by the incumbents is what is referred to as ‘supply-side economies of scale’ which enables the incumbents to produce large quantities of goods at relatively low costs per unit. Supply side economies of scale also cushion the incumbents from the threat of lowered prices by the new entrants. It also discourages new entrants especially those who are not able to use price reduction as a strategy to penetrate the market and dislodge the incumbents (Hill and Gareth 3). Bargaining power of suppliers In some industries, there are monopolies in terms of supply of goods or services. In such industrie
Introduction The clinicians are normally faced with the challenge of convincing the patients to continue with a treatment program that goes on for along period of time or even a lifetime (Stuart, 1982, 95). In attempt to improve the adherence of patients to long term treatments, some have come up with the suggestion that the patients be allowed to administer the treatment on their own instead of having it administered to them by a medical personnel. Some of the possible intervention that can be adopted by the clinicians in order to improve adherence include the encouragement of the patients to be in contact with people of their age who will encourage them and ensure that they take the medication. The other involves having medical personnel administer the treatment to the patient. Finally, the intervention may involve educating the health care providers on how to take care of the patients (Gibson, Abramson and Wood-Baker, 2006, p 328). The importance/purpose of the study The study was carried out to determine the impacts of giving financial enticement on patients’ adherence to HIV counseling and testing (Haukoos et. al. 2005). In other words, the aim was determining whether the financial inducement given encouraged patients to complete the HIV counseling and testing. Basically, the participants in the study were selected from the emergency department who identified those that they felt were at high risk of being infected with the virus and referred them for HIV testing and counseling. The financial incentive offered to participants in the study The patients were offered twenty five dollars if they managed to complete the HIV counseling and testing. This inducement was given in the second round of the study and its impact was actually felt as it resulted into a 15% increase in the number of patients who completed the HIV counseling and testing (Haukoos et. al. 2005). The study design employed The study design employed in this study was observational study mainly because it involves subjecting the participants to interventions and then a conclusion is drawn depending on the reaction of the subjects to the interventions. This study can be referred to as an experiment because it carries out an investigation and it also applies controls. An increase in the number of outpatients who completed the HIV testing and counseling increased with the introduction of the financial incentive. It will therefore be right to conclude that the financial inducements encouraged the outpatients referred by the emergency department to complete the HIV counseling and testing. The weaknesses and strengths of the study The major strength of the study is that it increased the number of people who went for the HIV counseling and testing, though it had a major weakness in the selection of the people to include in the study. This is because it depended on the referral from the emergency department which could have been interfered with by the doctor’s prejudice, misconception or bias. The study could have been susceptible to bias because the doctors could have been biased in their referrals and again, the assessment was being done on people who were unwel
Introduction Globalization refers to the progression by which various areas in the world have been joined together by way of an overall and international set-up of communication, movement and conduction of business. These various regions include financial systems, social orders and civilizations (Pugel, 2004, p.5). Globalization is in most other times used to make a reference to economic globalization, which is the act of combining into an integral whole of state financial systems into the worldwide economy by way of carrying out of business, far-off direct investment, cash flows, movement and the outspread of expertise and other forms of know-how. Nevertheless, globalization is normally acknowledged as having a driving force which is a blend of trade and industry, technical, socio-cultural, opinionated and natural elements. The term globalization at most times brings out various thoughts from various quarters and this study seeks to shed light on various questions that arise from it. There needs to be a clarification on whether globalization is the amalgamation of financial, opinionated and socio-cultural set ups across the world or it is the supremacy of first world nations in decision making at the expense of developing and less influential countries. It needs to be established whether globalization is in and by itself a driving force for economic development, success and autonomous liberty, or whether it is an accelerator for ecological destruction, taking advantage of developing nations and repression of human rights (IMF staff, April 2000). Again, it needs to be made clear if globalization is only beneficial to the rich and well-doing states and regions and if the developing world can make a good use of it to perk up their welfare. History of globalization The chronological genesis of globalization is the subject matter of current debate. Despite the fact that some intellectuals place the geneses of globalization in the contemporary times, a number of others look upon it as an occurrence having an extensive past. Possibly the greatest backer of globalization as phenomenon with a long historical background was Andre Gunder Frank, a professional economist who did quite a significant amount of work on reliance theory. He suggested that a type of globalization has been around from the time of the commencement of trade connections between Sumer and the Indus Valley society (John, 2004, p.9). These dealings happened as early as the third millennium B.C. on the other hand, those not in agreement with Frank’s thought make out that it perches upon a wide-reaching description of globalization. An initial type of worldwide financial side and way of life was in place in the times of the Hellenistic era, a period when commercialized town centers were concentrated around the group of countries in special alliance. This was Greek civilization over a far-reaching array that began from present day India to Spain. Quite a number of significant cities like Athens, Antioch and Alexandria were part of this area perhaps this explains why they are important centers even up to date (Chase-Dunn, 1998, p.7). Business was exten

The present paper analyzes the Conway Engines case study with the view to determining if Harry Comstock, the company’s CEO, should continue to back Vern’s no-holds-barred authenticity approach. The company gets its competitive strengths from a popular brand name and a satisfied customer base that believes in Conway’s products. Additionally, the company uses its eco-friendly marketing strategy to attract customers and has a strong teamwork orientation. One of the main weaknesses evident in the case is that the company’s marketing strategies are unable to ensure optimal customer experiences. Additionally, there is a perceived disconnect between the marketing team and the orientation to become a fully authentic company. Lastly, some marketing strategies (e.g., targeting the youth market and expanding geographical reach at the expense of existing customer base) have failed to achieve the intended competitive advantages. A look into the company’s external environment shows that it has many opportunities to expand its customer base if effective marketing strategies are used to support growth. However, there is intense competition from other firms and regulatory requirements seem to support helmet safety rather than bike safety. An analysis of these findings shows that, to ensure growth and reinvigorate competitiveness, the company must support a marketing strategy that aligns employees and customers with the real Conway experience of providing freedom and ensuring satisfactory experiences. In my view, the company has a great potential for growth due to its popular brand name and a strong marketing team. However, it must ensure that its marketing initiatives are aligned with what the brand stands for. An analysis of the corporate-level strategy demonstrates that the company’s brand embodies confidence, safety, and freedom to make choices. However, it is evident that the company has in the recent past deviated from this strategy. In business-level strategy, Vern is proposing a return to cause marketing to enable customers experience the honest and authentic perspective of the company’s motorbikes in what is known as no-holds-barred authenticity approach. An analysis of implementations shows that Vern’s strategy can be effectively operationalized based on the fact that the company has creative and hardworking staff, highly differentiated marketing units, and dependable collaborative teams that could be used to actualize Vern’s no-holds-barred authenticity approach. From the analysis
