There are three main categories of issues that have an adverse impact on Bernard Matthews’ brand. These include consumer behavior, media issues, and corporate issues. The first category includes the issues that are contingent on the customers’ behavioral patterns and their outlooks. Due to a broad choice of healthy products, Bernard Matthews lost a substantial number of loyal customers. The latter resulted in a decrease in sales. Subsequently, the issues of Bernard Matthews went viral and reached numerous media platforms. Bernard Matthews did not try to state their view on the issue or defend the company’s products. Unsurprisingly, this ended up in an adverse press coverage. Overall, the late response became the key issue that left the customers wondering if they still want to buy Bernard Matthews’ products. On a bigger scale, the company’s attitude resulted in a 30% profit loss. All of the factors combined and resulted in the loss of credibility. This is a major issue, and it should be immediately addressed at all the company’s levels. First, Bernard Matthews should come up with a strategy to get back on the track with its marketing strategy. The company should pay attention to its brand image and reach out to its online and offline customers in order to identify the key complications inherent in the process. In this case, the recommendation would be to promote the company in social media and build strong relationships with both actual and potential customers. Recently, this type of interaction became one of the most profitable marketing approaches and should be implemented as soon as possible. Second, Bernard Matthews company should review their product mix and provide their customers with a broader selection of products. The company should actively defend its position in the market. The new product lines should be represented by a mix of healthy food items and classic turkey products that made Bernard Matthews recognizable and demanded. Moreover, new product lines would allow the company to conduct online and offline contests for the customers. Valuable prizes and practical involvement should elicit in the customers the necessity to purchase Bernard Matthews’ products and actively participate in the life of the brand. The combination of a new marketing strategy and an updated product mix would serve as a catalyst for the company and attract new clientele. Nonetheless, the key changes should be performed in the corporate culture of the company and its approach to the business. Bernard Matthews should concentrate on producing healthy food so as to comply with the majority of the customers’ demands. The company should actively promote and defend its products. The latter is essential if Bernard Matthews wants to maintain the image of the brand. Arguably, the company should also seek ways to extend its reach and enter the European market. The current reach of Bernard Matthews is insufficient. The company should also research the market and find ways to conquer the UK market segment as their current reach does not cover the entire country. If we combine these three approaches, we will get an all-inclusive recovery
Patricia Ryan: Don’t Insist on English! Patricia Ryan’s lecture “Don’t Insist on English!” brings up issues that are ongoing in the contemporary world but are often overlooked by critics and the media: the domination of the English language that, coincidentally, is occurring simultaneously with the rapid decimation of other world languages. The lecture highlights multiple angles of the problem, including financial and cultural segregation, the unfair disposition of influences, the role of heredity and tradition, and the validity of certain academic practices, such as the inclusion of the mandatory English test. The conclusions reached by the speaker are grim and discouraging, and while she comes short of providing any feasible solution (or even a hint in the right direction), her ideas and suggestions present a tremendous amount of material to ponder, with the possible implications reaching far beyond the domain of linguistics or language-based discrimination. The starting point chosen by Ryan is that of an emotional variety. Indeed, she sets the direction for further discussion outright by presenting a fact that is easy to comprehend yet difficult to digest: the predicted decimation of 6,000 world languages within 90 years starting from 2010. The simple technique of converting this statement into a daily rate (“A language dies every fourteen days”) further strengthens the audience’s empathy and reveals the speaker’s intentions of linking the dominant position of English in the contemporary world to this disastrous process. Interestingly, Ryan’s main concern is neither with language preservation efforts nor with the imperial reign of English (not stated explicitly but clearly hinted by visual clues accompanying the lecture). Instead, she offers a compromise: why not create a fairer environment that will encourage the intentions of humankind to improve itself without the need to choose a linguistic affiliation? The intervention, in this case, is the presence of the English proficiency test that is mandatory for students in English-speaking countries. Ryan’s argument is built around the limiting nature of the test, which leaves a number of capable individuals out of the best educational opportunities in the world and does not provide any tangible benefits. For instance, an advanced knowledge of English, according to her, is not equally necessary for all professions. This is a strong point, as is the assumption that language diversity creates a more interesting and multi-faceted reality. However, it soon becomes clear that the issue is two-sided: a global language is a necessity in the modern world that requires a simple and reliable means of communication, but such “linguistic monopoly” narrows the scope of scholars and artists alike. Interestingly, Ryan does not suggest a clear solution: she emphasizes the s
Introduction Being a world-renowned political activist Arial Dorfman has created a play that helped him to reveal the lasting impact of military aggression and torture on the individual. Ghosts of the Chilean General Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship carried over the Death and the Maiden. They made the readers become witnesses of the rights abuses under the rule of Pinochet, the transition to democracy made in Chile, and the democratic government’s response to the rights abuses in the past. The National Commission for Truth and Reconciliation The political drama under consideration should be considered a product of the time, place, and circumstances of its composition. The novel has been written during the critical age in the history of Chile. After the plebiscite of 1988 in Chile when 55 percent of the population voted against Pinochet’s rule, the author could not resist his desire to recognize the events of the past and their influence on the present and future of the country. The Death and the Maiden were written during several weeks that Dorfman was in Chile, hence the credibility of the events described and of the circumstances under which they took place. Though the exact location of the play is unknown, it very closely resembles Chile and anticipates the crucial changes in the country’s history. Writing the Death and the Maiden the author relied on the facts gathered by the Rettig Commission. This Commission, also known as the National Commission for Truth and Reconciliation, established in 1990 by the newly elected president Patricio Aylwin, investigated the consequences of the rights abuses under the rule of Pinochet. The worst violence occurred in the first three months of the dictatorship: the number of suspected leftists killed (or, “disappeared”) has reached thousands. The concentration camp, the former National Stadium, held 40,000 prisoners; at least 3,000 people were killed or disappeared. The majority of the arrested people were incarcerated and tortured. Many Chileans who were exiled were treated like political refugees abroad. Many of the exiles were followed and murdered by DINA or other secret services. The disappearance of many people resulted in death, the Commission revealed their names. But the victims of the regime who were still alive were neglected by the Commission. What is more, most of the crimes stated by the process were not prosecuted or punished. The Death and the Maiden is the author’s response to the atmosphere of impunity that reigned at that time in the country. Symbol of all victims The play is concerned with the crises of former revolutionaries for democracy – Paulina Escobar, a courier who was raped and tortured for protecting her lover’s identity and the very lover who first was the editor of an underground newspaper and then became Paulina’s husband and was called to take part in a Commission investigating crimes by the former regime. This time it turns out that his wife is a victim of the dictatorship: tortured by the rapists fifteen years ago, now she is tortured by the desire to take vengean
Diagnosis and Rationale In accordance with the symptoms, the patient can probably be diagnosed with Opiate withdrawal. In addition, HL has hepatitis C. The reasoning for the opiate withdrawal syndrome diagnosis stems from a variety of factors. Firstly, the symptoms identified in the subject are listed among ones found in opioid addicts undergoing a withdrawal stage. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea are common in such patients (Stotts, Dodrill, & Kosten, 2009). Secondly, the patient has a history of addiction to drugs, which is one of the primary factors to consider when diagnosing a patient. Dependence is highly difficult to treat completely, especially in cases of prolonged abuse. Arcangelo, Peterson, Wilbur, and Reinhold (2017) also list drug withdrawal as the common etiology of nausea and vomiting. Chemoreceptor trigger zones such as opiate receptors not being stimulated by the drug can cause contractions of abdominal muscles and, therefore, bowel movement (Arcangelo et al., 2017). Another rationale for opiate withdrawal as a diagnosis can be the prescription of Nifedipine. The medication is commonly prescribed to reduce chest pain and relieve hypertension that is also a side effect of opiate withdrawal (Stotts et al., 2009; Arcangelo et al., 2017). Hepatitis C is typical comorbidity in patients that use or have a history of using drugs. Environmental factors such as drug sharing or passing needles for injections are a common cause of developing hepatitis C. Given the patient’s history of drug abuse, it is highly probable that such practices were used. The symptoms also became the indicator that led to such a diagnosis. Despite the fact that many patients with hepatitis C experience no symptoms, certain adversities such as nausea and stomach pain can still be observed (Pastore et al., 2016). In addition to that, the patient has been prescribed Synthroid. The drug has a generic name of levothyroxine that is often used to treat thyroid issues and immune system disorders (Arcangelo et al., 2017). Hepatitis C is commonly known to reduce the body’s ability to defend against viruses and infections by inflicting damage to the thyroid (Pastore et al., 2016). The named symptoms manifested in the patient can also be attributed to the side effects of the medication he or she is currently prescribed. For instance, Nifedipine
Introduction Literature is a very powerful tool in any society since it gives the people a voice, a voice to critic and talk about issues which would bring tension if they are discussed openly. Literature therefore gives people a chance to even critic the leaders who make laws that only benefit them and they forget about the people who they are supposed to represent. Film as a form of literature is used in the Egyptian society to critic the lack of morals in the society. The society is morally corrupt and is not considerate of the weak in the society. For instance the society is stratified according to the wealth that one has. Jobs and other services are given through corrupt means and in consideration to the family that one comes from. Main body In the film ‘Imarit Ya’qubian (Yaccubian Building), the plight of the poor is highlighted. The poor people represented by the working class in Egypt have a lot of problems. In the film the writer is trying to condemn the corrupt ways in which people acquire jobs, the situation of a young man who is denied a chance to work in the government just because he is from a poor family. The film critics these crude ways of the Egyptians, normally jobs are supposed to be offered according to the qualifications of a person, regardless of his/her background. Through literature the writer of the film is able to condemn the rules applied by the Egyptian government. Literature enables people to talk about the ills of the society. This is because the writers use abstract characters and therefore no one can claim a personal attack. Through these characters the film is able to talk about any issue in the society. For instance the film Imarit Ya’qubian (Yaccubian Building) is able to condemn the government about the mistreatment of the people. This is not taken as a personal attack against the government because the film has abstract characters representing real people and situations in the society. A government represented in the film is corrupt and it represents the Egyptian society. So literature has the role of commenting about the situations affecting the people in the society since the writers are free to comment about anything in the society. The film highlights how the government officials are corrupt, whereby the jobs are not given to the people who deserve them but rather to corrupt people who do not even deserve the positions that they hold. The uneducated people who have money buy their way in life. For example they are able to even bribe their way into parliament, leaving out the people who are educated and deserve to get the positions. Through this film the writer is able to put his point across to the corrupt government officials. The bad ways that are in the society are addressed in the film. Literature also helps to give the people a place in the society. Through the film, the writer tries to give a voice to the women and give them a place in the society. The injustice

Executive summary The paper aims at finding the best entry strategy for a US- based medium sized organisation called Sage Products Inc. The company sells medical supplies to various clients in the US and Canada, but has no physical presence in Australia. The organization has very high chances of succeeding because the Australian medical devices market is one of the largest in the world. The kinds of products that Sage Products sells are not common in the target country, so there is demand for them, and local manufacturers are few and far between. An analysis of possible entry mode strategies was done. Three particular strategies were identified and they included: exporting, joint venture, and green field. After taking a look at the degree of control accorded to Sage after entry, the risks involved in the entry strategy and the capital investments, it was found that exporting would be the best method to enter Australia. However, for this strategy to work, it was recommended that Sage Products will need: to do a thorough research of the market forces in the Australian medical devices market, to establish several retail outlets in the country, to concentrate on locations with fewer medical device suppliers, and to continue to innovate. Introduction Sage Products is a disposable healthcare manufacturer that is based in the United States. This medium-sized company has been in business for the past thirty five years. It boasts of innovative technologies and industry-specific knowledge. Sage Products sells its commodities to a number of countries around the world. However, it is yet to enter the Australian market. In order to assess whether this is feasible strategy, and how to effectively penetrate this market an OLI analysis will be done; the acronyms represent Ownership, Location and Internalisation. Ownersip Sage Products Inc. was started by the current CEO Vince Foglia alongside current Director and cofounder Paul Hills (Sage products Inc., 2011). It specialises in disposable health care products that range from: toothbrushes, medical mouth swabs, medical protective equipments like gowns, plastic cabinets for placement of medical equipment, disposable remoistened washcloths
Anorexia nervosa is a treatable eating disorder when people significantly limit the number of calories and types of foods they eat, which leads to excessive weight loss. Anyone may be affected by anorexia, and about 1-2% of the population suffers from the disorder (Cleveland Clinic Medical Staff, 2021). Key symptoms include: Emotional and mental signs: fear of gaining weight, obsession with counting calories or diets, irritability, self-criticism, and other characteristics. Behavioral signs: changes in eating habits, excessive exercise, and other features. Physical signs: weight loss, fatigue, weakness, and similar symptoms. Pay attention: Anorexia is possible even if there are no underweight signs, and one needs to pay attention to other symptoms. Genetics and family history: brain chemistry impacts appetite, mood, and self-control; therefore, people who have relatives suffering from eating disorders are at a higher risk. Trauma or life changes: through food control, a person copes with a traumatic event or significant life changes. Culture and environment: imposed media unrealistic ideals of beauty. Peer influence: bullying or ridicule due to the appearance of a teenager. Mental health: Personal qualities and features such as perfectionism, low self-esteem, and impulsivity are potential factors of anorexia. Career: the chance of anorexia is higher among those who have thinness is a requirement of the profession, like ballerinas, models, gymnasts, and other professionals. Diet: Being passionate about a particular diet can increase the risk of anorexia. The objectives of anorexia treatment include weight recovery, psychological care, and healthy dietary and behavioral patterns. Treatment is selected individually and may include strategies such as nutritional counseling, psychotherapy, family therapy, medication, or hospitalization. The duration of treatment and its consequences are individual and depend on the time of the disorder, its severity, the chosen treatment, and adherence to it. With the proper treatment, recovery from anorexia is possible, but the risk of relapse remains high, highlighting the importance of compliance with medical recommendations.
Introduction The core study has a number of objectives. The main objective of the case study was to analyze the shift in attitude towards certain sections of the markets that are affected by ethics. These market types are substantially dependent on consumer attitudes. The analysis seeks to establish to what extent the customers are affected by various ethical practices. The case study also seeks to establish market problems experienced by various firms. The case study also takes a deep look into the issues and trends that affect the market. After the analysis of the key problems, issues, and trends in the market, the study seeks to establish what strategies have been set up to tackle these issues. Market Analysis The case study focuses on the different, innovative practices in hospitality and other relative services. The report puts emphasis on the importance of leadership through learning. The case report goes on to bring out an analysis of some cases. It tells of how a fifth of the cases, which were evaluated, presented a certain diverse group of concepts and companies. In the analysis, the group of companies is said to have met their market needs, both the longstanding and the newly identified through a certain set of thinking. The analysis also points out how this is achievable. It goes on to state that the crucial thing is to make sure that the focus is laid on the customer’s desires (Suguaw, et al, 2009). It is through such compilations that the practices applied in hospitality are made effective. The case study also seeks to establish the areas in hospitality where something needs to be done. The case study is based on the definition of innovation where there is active development of new and or distinctive practice in a certain practice that was already in existence. The case study also go
