Introduction The establishment of a dress shop within the hometown requires analyzing all factors that determine its success to adopt the right strategies to maximize the anticipated profits. After determining the pricing strategy to adopt and the potential start-up expenses, it is essential to identify the market structure in the hometown and countrywide to comprehend the degree of competition. The market structure reveals the number of businesses in the market and how they are differentiated, thus demonstrating the nature of competition (Marginal Revolution University, 2015). The paper identifies the type of market structure related to the sale of dresses in my hometown and the entire industry across the country. Market Structure for the Line of Business in My Hometown All businesses in the market follow a specific structure that defines the relationship between firms and buyers. From a critical perspective, businesses that sell formal dresses in the hometown operate in a monopolistic competition that allows them to attain their projected objectives. One of the key reasons that reveal the market structure’s existence in the hometown is the numerous businesses that compete against one another and vend unique formal dresses. Each business in the market tends to offer distinctive dresses to meet the diverse needs of customers and outshine possible competitors. The differentiation of dresses within the hometown is largely based on the physical aspects, location, and marketing. Some businesses use physical product differentiation to offer dresses with unique features, such as quality, design, size, and color. The marketing differentiation permits some firms to use diverse promotional strategies and exceptional packaging to reach out to their customers (Taylor, 2014). Based on the location, some shops choose to sell their dresses online or through brick-and-mortar stores, while others use a combination of the two methods. The second reason businesses run in this market structure is to make autonomous decisions on the quantity to offer and the price strategy. Each dress shop in the hometown normally chooses the number of dresses to offer to customers and the prices to charge, although the operational costs greatly influence them. As a result, a dress shop can choose to adopt a lower price or a higher price than other businesses in the market. This allows the businesses to determine the key strategies to maximize the profit levels and surpass the competitors (Taylor, 2014). Thirdly, the hometown has a high exit and entry freedom for dress shops. Businesses willing to sell formal dresses can easily enter the market due to few entry barriers and can choose to leave the market at any time. The ability of businesses to realize positive economic profits makes the market highly attractive, compelling more firms to consider operating in it.

Introduction The critique focuses on methodology, subject selection, strength and weaknesses, and evidence-based practices in the study. The critique shall enable us identify how researchers incorporate clinical practices, research evidence, and elements in care provisions to give patients high-levels of services. It shall also demonstrate applications of theories in real-world situations during research studies. Methodology The study has a detailed methodology, which gives it credibility. This was because the researchers combined both pretest and post-test quasi designs to establish reliability and validity of data collected. The study also used self-efficacy theory as a guide. The researchers collected data from 22 young women who underwent training in breast cancer. Training was effective to enable learners gain the necessary knowledge, skills, performance, and self-efficacy. The researchers collected data three times from participants using self-reported questionnaires. Researchers based the study variables on self-report measurements. The variable consisted of participants’ background information and other health-related information regarding breast cancer. These researchers presented a clear research methodology, which other researchers can use in future studies. This stage also accounted for the research ethical concerns of participants. The design of the research focused on research variables like skills, performance, self-efficacy, and knowledge as the researchers aimed at examining the effectiveness of these variables among young women who underwent training in breast cancer management. The data analysis processes aimed at establishing the difference between “the inclusion and the exclusion groups in terms of age, marital status and education, which studies identified as factors influencing BSE in Korea” (Yi and Park, 2012). The process of data analysis also accounted for background variables such as income, occupation, family health-related issues, and history of breast cancer in the family. They noted these factors also had significant impacts on subjects. Data analysis accounted for differences in scores among subjects regarding skills, knowledge, performance, and self-efficacy before education and after education. Subject selection Researchers recruited young Korean women to take part in the study. Subjects included women of 20 to 40 years of age. These women were not breast-feeding or pregnant women. The researcher relied on studies of Faul and other authors (2007) to derive the sample size for the study. This method provided a reasonable attrition rate of 50 percent between second and third stages of data collection. The first study had an estimated number of 112 subjects for the first phase. The strength and weakness of the study The article has a clear research methodology that ensures researcher get valid and reliable information from data collection. At the end of the research, they concluded that information collected from the subjects was effective for “increasing the breast cancer and
Introduction If we imagine that American scientists managed to develop a workable concept of a flying automobile, even if it flies at a lower elevation, numerous consequences for various spheres of life can be predicted. Such spheres as consumption, housing, transport, healthcare, education, defense, and many others would face serious changes. The Impact on Consumption, Supply and Demand, and Prices The invention of flying automobiles has lead to notable changes in this sphere. Of course, customers prefer flying cars to non-flying ones for the superior benefits of the former. The fact that many models of flying cars come at available prices makes their choice even more obvious. For these reasons, the overwhelming majority of automobile companies had to switch to producing flying cars. A serious advantage of flying automobiles is that they can be transported quickly to the selling point; quick distribution allows companies to ensure the greater satisfaction of the customers (“Distribution Channels” par. 5). The described changes have influenced other sectors of industry and business as well since flying automobiles are used for delivery purposes. Now that necessary equipment, detail, or even pizza can be delivered in a few minutes, people have become more likely to order something they need. The growing demand has lead to an increase in the rates of production. The outcomes of the revolutionary invention for the regular automobiles are not flattering. No new models are in supply, the firms that do not switch to producing flying automobiles face a serious decline, and their popularity has decreased significantly. However, the conservative individuals repulsed by changes and those, who cannot stand flying, are at perfect liberty to buy whatever land car they want, for the prices have dropped dramatically. It can be said for sure that flying automobiles have literally changed the global economy. Housing Sector The sector of real estate is also strongly influenced by the invention of flying cars. Due to the changes in transport and commutation, which are described further, more people start living in suburban or rural areas. Living in a separate house with a yard and domestic facilities is preferable to living in an apartment for many people. In previous years, the problem of getting to the workplace and places of entertainment and going shopping prevented many individuals from renting or buying a house in suburbia or rural area. Now that the problem of transportation is sold, the demand for suburban and rural houses increased remarkably; so did the prices. Conversely, the prices for apartments in urban areas have dropped because of the decreased demand. Companies are more interested in building and owning houses in suburban and rural areas t
The Age Boom in Japan is accelerating at an astounding rate. When World War II ended, the percentage of elderly Japanese in 1947 comprised only 5 percent of the populace, while the life expectancy that year was 50. Today, life expectancy has shot up to 82, and the grey haired population is slated to rise to 25 per cent of the populace by 2015. Japanese total fertility rate was 4.54 in 1947, it dropped by nearly 50 per cent to 2.04 in 1957, briefly recovered and then slumped below the replacement level again in 1970, before dropping to a low of 1.32 in 2006. On October 1, 2006 the population was 127.8 million. While this number is actually more than the population on October 1, 2005 by 1,500, in reality it is the result of increase in the number of foreign nationals rather than indigenous Japanese (Smil). Experts claim the TFR will further drop to levels unheard of in any country during peacetime, resulting in a population of 90 million by 2055 and dropping further to 54 million by 2100 – a population figure present in Japan long back in 1930 just before the invasion of China. The present retirement age is 60 for private organisations in Japan. A law passed not long ago provides the organisations with two alternatives: increase compulsory retirement age over time, or supply retraining and re-employment schemes to retain employees. A majority of organisations have chosen the second alternative. Among the few exceptions is the reputed Kawasaki Heavy Industries which ch
The business Dough Pizza will be an affordable fast food restaurant operating in Lynchburg, VA. The restaurant industry is highly saturated and competitive, consisting of several categories. Dough Pizza will be competing with other fast food establishments, particularly major pizza-oriented chains such as Dominos and Papa Johns. The restaurant sector is growing but at a slow pace, experiencing various issues ranging from declining foot traffic to high costs of operation which significantly lower margins. However, companies that offer a strong foundation such as service and quality in combination with innovative offerings are showing growth in the industry (Zacks Equity Research, 2018). Dough Pizza will aim to be a community-focused business appealing to the local populations of families, students, and employees of surrounding businesses. The restaurant will offer quick, affordable meals with a wide variety of options and great attention to regional taste which will attract the core citizens of this small college town. Dough Pizza will use a balanced pricing approach in terms that it will maintain prices on average with the industry. However, it will not use pricing as a primary strategy to undercut competitors in order to attract consumers as this would not be sustainable for a small business in the long-term nor is it effective in most cases. Dough Pizza will base its prices based on food costs and profit that will adjust according to the consumer demographic. The establishment will still attempt to be an affordable dining experience but offer prices that accurately capture the quality of food and choices that are offered through attribute-based pricing. There would be discount specials such as lunch deals, athletic events, and student exams that tend to attract customers for this type of cuisine. However, on a regular basis pricing will remain stable, but offer an upsized version of products. For example, if a regular large pepperoni pizza would cost $12.99, one with a cheese crust, extra cheese would go for just $14.99. This increases profit with very little ingredient cost to the restaurant. Social media marketing is a necessity in the modern world. It allows extensive marketing reach backed by consumer interest and demographic targeting offered by most platforms. However, social media is more beneficial for small businesses because they can utilize the key success to this method – engagement. The limited area and relatively small followings allow engaging with each consumer comment or complaint, driving forward the potency of social media marketing. It does not take much to stand out, demonstrate creativity, and show appreciation at the local level, something that franchises rarely do. Social media marketing has large initial costs which can average to approximately $7,000 a month, but as word of mouth gets ou
The National Patient Safety Goals (NPSG) are formulated by the Joint Commission annually and seek to address the most prominent contemporary issues in healthcare (The Joint Commission, 2019). They are separated into five categories: ambulatory health care, behavioral health care, critical access hospital, home care, and hospital. These groups are not exclusive, and the same goals may appear in several chapters. The differentiation is used to identify critical points of interest for different institutions and care providers as outlined by the names. The Joint Commission also provides suggestions for possible methods to address each issue outlined in its goals, though it leaves interpretations to individual facilities. As such, the documents offer a comprehensive framework for problem identification and resolution for medical institutions around the nation. Most of the recommendations are non-specific, even when detailed proposals are taken into consideration. According to The Joint Commission (2019), key hospital goals for 2019 involve patient identification, staff communication, safe medicine and alarm use, infection prevention, patient safety risk identification, and surgery mistake prevention. The facilities that follow the goals are expected to develop effective measures for the satisfaction of these needs via evidence-based practice. With regards to hospitals, infection prevention is a prominent topic, with five different goals discussing the avoidance of conditions that result from various aspects of hospital treatments. This paper will focus on the goal, particularly in surgical environments, and the importance of hair removal for the purpose. Your Hospital NPS Goal The decision has been made to work towards fulfilling the goal NPSG.07.05.01 in the 2019 NPSG document. According to the Joint Commission (2019), the goal is to “implement evidence-based practices for preventing surgical site infections” through education, policy implementation, regular assessments, stakeholder data sharing, antimicrobial agent administration, and appropriate hair removal. While healthcare institutions throughout the United States try to maintain the best possible standards in these areas, there are areas of contention, and evidence-based practice spreads gradually. In general, most facilities could improve their standards considerably if they could access a unified set of guidelines based on the latest findings. As such, the improvement process should involve data gathering on topics such as hair removal and its role in infection. Your Hospital NPS Goal’s Interventions The intervention determined to be necessary for the issue is an investigation into evidence-based practices surrounding hair and post-operative infection. The methods generally employed at the Center involve shaving the skin area where the operation will
The United States of America is composed of various regions. Because of its diverse heritage and huge size, it has the most complicated cultural identity globally. The US can be further divided into 11 sub-nations, starting from the Deep South to the Midlands and El Norte (Mack, 2019). It is the cultural identities between these regions that contribute to the political tensions between the states. People from different areas have unique lifestyles based on their sources of happiness. Life in the Northeast is fast-paced since the region is mainly industrialized. It is the home to some of the top cities like Washington DC and New York, so people here have a sense of regional pride (Scharff, 2016). Even the sports teams from this area have names which specifically refer to the country’s history. According to Mack (2019), the West is different; life is more relaxed here, and time moves slower. They usually prioritize personal endeavors and happiness over career achievement and success. Six of the western states have legalized the sale and use of recreational marijuana. The most distinct region in America is the South; much of the history of this region describes the American Civil War and slavery. The Southerners care much about family, conservative values, and religion; what brings them together is the feeling of pride for their region and country in general (Mack, 2019). To some extent, the Midwest is a blend of the other three areas; individuality and hard work are highly valued here (Scharff, 2016). The Midwest states boast of some of the largest cities in the U.S. Always referred to as the “America’s Breadbasket,” the Midwest has extensive farmland and fertile soil. In summary, the United States has several distinct cultural divisions. Unlike most other countries, the U.S. fully embraces the cultural diversity of its people. Many of the residents believe that their country is a better place due to their differences. Cultural heterogeneity, coupled with a shared love for their country, has always been the essence which brings the Americans together. The country even got the title “Land of Opportunity” because of its enormous potential for prosperity.
Abstract The two questions to be answered and to form the main topic of discussion for this paper deal with democracy and the forms of government in a democratic society. Chosen for an interesting topic of discussion is the country in the Philippines, as compared to the United States and its form of government. The Philippines is chosen because of its unique background, the country having experienced two colonizers, one of which is the United States. The presidential form of government is a legacy of the American colonizers, while the Spaniards introduced Christianity. Up to the present dispensation, the Philippines is a democratic society with a presidential form of government. Over the years, there were attempts to change this form of government to parliamentary, but since the Filipinos have become accustomed to it, they have made their intention to oppose any move to change the status quo. The second question is a
Introduction The Joint Commission, which is an independent, non-profit organization, is involved in accreditation and certification of health care organizations and programs in the United States. To follow its mission which implies improvement of health care for the public, the Commission refreshes its Speak Up program in 2018 (The Joint Commission, 2018a). The program provides educational materials covering diverse burning health issues and aims to stimulate the activity of patients and their advocates in their care. One of the brochures issued by the Joint Commission is dedicated to depression. The following review is dedicated to the analysis and evaluation of “Speak Up: What You Should Know about Depression” brochure. Summary of the Brochure The major problem covered by the brochure is adult depression. It discusses such important topics as the major issues about this disorder and its treatment. Speaking in more detail, the issues that help to diagnose depression in adults include warning signs of depression, people who can be affected, and information about how and where help can be obtained (The Joint Commission, 2018b). The problem of treatment is reflected in comprehensive blocks. Thus, a person can find information about treatment options, perspectives of getting better without treatment, significant aspects of depression therapy, and the medicines applied. Moreover, the brochure includes tips on opportunities for getting help from a family member or friend (The Joint Commission, 2018b). Also, it includes directions for individuals who already feel better to ensure they can return to daily routines. Finally, the brochure has useful links where readers can find more information. The brochure encourages communication between patients and healthcare providers by presenting the role of a doctor and timely diagnosing. For example, it states that in case an individual has certain disturbing symptoms, a doctor can help determine what is going on, the reasons for these events, and how to help (The Joint Commission, 2018b). Moreover, the brochure encourages asking a doctor or a therapist for advice on where to start a usual life after a person feels better. Evaluation of the Brochure The brochure is well-organized, and the information is presented logically. The first block introduces the problem of adult depression focusing on the fact that this condition is common but serious. It is followed by the warning signs thus allowing a person to check if he or she has any of depression manifestations. The block about depression causes provides a person with an opportunity to analyze recent events and find possible factors that led to depression. The section about treatment is detailed and informative disclosing the aspects of treatment available for every patient. On the whole, the brochure is well-done. Still, its design is not appealing and thus can be improved. The
