Marketing Strategy Per Ansoff’s Strategic Opportunity Matrix , Williams-Sonoma relies on market penetration. The company appears to have a stable range of promoted products that are mainly aimed at existing clients. Prior research shows that Williams-Sonoma utilizes data analytics efficiently, applying it to the history of users’ searches and purchases on its affiliated websites. Then, promotional offers are customized for the clientele, keeping them relevant to the existing audience. Segmenting and Targeting Three possible target segments for Williams-Sonoma are (from higher to lower priority):   * Middle-class adults aged 35-50 who own their own houses or apartments. These people value the quality and usability of their homeware, willing to spend good money on it. They have developed careers, which provide them with a higher share of disposable income, as well. This target group is promising in terms of lifetime value because of their purchasing power and the habit of visiting homeware stores (both physically and online).   * Work-from-home parents are aged 25-40 with higher-than-average incomes. These people spend much time at home, which fuels their desire to surround themselves with high-end homeware. Parenting is also a major contributor, as the quality of the products is valued, being associated with the safety of the child. The potential of this segment lies in its size, as the number of people working from home has seen an increase in the fallout of the pandemic.   * Young adults aged 21-30 with an average income or higher and a broad social circle. These people are extroverted and sociable, hosting a range of social events at their homes. In order to create a better image of their lifestyle and impress their acquaintances, they are willing to spend more money on house and kitchen products. This idea reflects the potential of the segment, as such clients are better susceptible to marketing tools. Positioning   * For the clients who value their comfort   * Who struggle with finding safe solutions for their homes and kitchens   * We are a houseware retailer   * Offering high-end products that make the house safer, cozier, and more comfortable   * Unlike mass-market companies   * We have a selection of reliable products that improve the quality of customers’ lives at a great value. Product Today, Williams-Sonoma offers a wide variety of kitchenware, from utensils to electronics. The company will benefit from introducing a new collection of holiday-themed dinnerware devoted to Christmas, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. The existing clientele, certain of the brand’s quality, will be willing to purchase such collections to impress their guests during celebrations and support the holiday spirit. Even though such dinnerware will be used a few times per year, customers will want to purchase such unique, high-end items that assert their status. Place Williams-Sonoma relies on a multi-channel framework of distribution that has proved useful in the age of the pandemic. Traditionally, the company has maintained a brick-and-mortar presence which has been
In today’s progressive society, people with disabilities are fortunate enough to have the same quality of life as people without disabilities. In the “Challenge” tab, I saw a video showing various photos of people with disabilities (Iris Center, 2021). These pictures leave a positive impression, as people look happy and content with their lives. I think that these people are powerful and inspiring, as they prove to the world that it is possible to live life to the fullest with a disability. The perception of such people, particularly children, by those around them plays a significant role in shaping their personality and their success in life. For example, if people treat a child with a disability as incapable of doing anything independently, he will grow up to be inhibited and unlikely to succeed. If he is treated as equal, he will develop a good self-image and achieve a lot in life. If I had children with disabilities in my class, I would do everything I could to ensure they do not feel left out or restricted. If I were making a film about a blind person, I would focus on their forms of perception of reality, such as hearing, and touch. I would want to show that even though they perceive the world in a slightly different way, they are still an independent and versatile person. I would like to avoid the stereotype that blind people cannot take care of themselves or that if a person loses their sight, they lose their happiness in life. I want to show that disability is not a sentence but an opportunity to start valuing your life even more. Reference Iris Center (2021). What Do You See? Perceptions of Disability. Iris Center. Web.
A number of cognitive learning theories exist including Gestalt theory, schema theory, multi-store theory, and informational processing theory. All these theories are often invoked when giving instructions to students at various levels. In the late 1950s, some psychology scholars came up with what is popularly referred to as cognitive sciences, which is often considered a cognitive revolution in the field of education. Based on this, scholars underscore the fact that educationists should combine psychological knowledge, anthropological research, and the major principle of linguistics in disseminating knowledge to students. Consequently, the major concepts derived in the fields of artificial brainpower, computer science, and neurosciences are seen as the most critical in designing instructional materials (Hewstone, Rubin, & Willis, 2002). Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky were the two psychological scholars who extensively participated in promoting cognitive learning. Cognitive psychologists are of the view that learning is a continuous process that entails conversion of information in the surrounding into a reliable knowledge that can perhaps be accumulated safely in the human brain. Therefore, the theory of cognitive psychology, as far as learning is concerned, focuses on some aspects including the following:  1. A positive view of growth, which focuses on cognizant judgment  2. Active construction of thoughtfulness  3. The changes that take place as children go through an education system  4. Description of cognitive processes Gestalt Theory Gestalt theory is one of the theories of cognitive learning that focuses on the role of human consciousness in promoting learning. It opposes the view that human consciousness can perhaps be broken down into smaller elements. Some of the theorists who participated in the development of the theory include Max Wertheimer and Wolfgang Kohler. These theorists played a major role in ensuring that the role of perception in learning was understood. The scholars were of the view that perception is only of value when seen as a whole. Based on this, it is understood that the brain functions in a holistic, comparable, and analogous way, implying that it has a self-organizing predisposition. In other words, it can be concluded that the summation of the parts is different from the parts themselves. The theory suggests that the sum of the parts interferes with the visual recognition of figures in individuals since the
Introduction It is imperative to mention that the role of renewable energy has been increasing over the years because scholars have recognized that other sources have numerous weaknesses. Adoption of solar power technologies would be extremely beneficial to Gulf countries, and it will help to address most of the issues related to resource shortages. However, limitations of this approach also should be considered. It is reasonable to analyze the literature and reliable websites on this subject matter to get a better understanding of the current situation. It will be possible to develop a list of recommendations that may be considered by governments in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Qatar. Technology and Investment The strategy related to the adoption of solar energy should be quite similar in all three countries. However, such factors as the climate and shipment costs must be taken into account. For example, Dubai is determined to invest in the largest solar power program, and the estimated cost is close to three billion (Chow par. 1). It is necessary to mention that a photovoltaic farm is already present in Abu Dhabi. Therefore, it would be appropriate to analyze the way it utilizes latest technologies to produce energy. Currently, it uses two types of modules. The approach is quite fascinating because it minimizes the weaknesses of each technique. However, it is possible to state that these modules are quite expensive, and other options must be considered. It would be appropriate to collaborate with Talesun because it produces devices that are extremely cost-effective. A module with a capacity of 235W is worth around 183 dollars. A new factory would also require solar inverters. Electrical accessories are of utmost importance, and the need to have sufficient amounts of cables should not be disregarded. Additionally, a monitoring system will be required to avoid possible complications and criminal activities. It is also necessary to hire trained professionals that will mount the parts and monitor the whole process. Therefore, a photovoltaic plant requires enormous investments and will be nearly impossible to build without the support of other organizations. The adoption of solar power is expected to be much easier in Saudi Arabia and the UAE because many companies on the territory are already experienced in this area. Qatar is also determined to promote this approach, but it does not have access to such enormous resources. Types of Generators Concentrating solar power devices use mirrors to focus the available sun energy and transfer into steam that would help to move a turbine. The concentration of the sunlight allows generating enormous amounts of power. One of the limitations of this type of generators is that large areas are necessary, and several alternatives are currently available. For example, trough systems operate with a use of parabolic reflectors that are tilted, and power towers utilize flat mirrors (Palenzuela, Alarcón-Padilla, and Zaragoza 41). Photovoltaic (PV) generators are capable of converting solar energy into electric charge thanks to semiconducting materials. A lot of attent
Leadership has always been a key to the functionality of any work unit. Much attention, however, has been lately paid to the peculiarities of leadership application to clinical practice. Researchers claim that the very notion of leadership in healthcare is closely related to managing the team to an extent, beneficial for the patients (1). In order to comply with the responsibility given to the clinical practice, practitioners from all over the world developed a series of leadership theories to define the best possible option for a unit. To begin with, healthcare as a system is a complicated hierarchy of clinicians, managers, and various external bodies, which makes the concept of leadership plural in this context (2). Such an approach is characterized by power diffusion between a series of responsible leaders. Leadership theory as a concept stands for the patterns of organizational hierarchy within various units focusing on its major needs and principles. Speaking of healthcare, its primary purpose is to serve and help all the people with no exceptions. Hence, one of the most appropriate theories, in this case, would be the servant leadership approach that stands for placing one’s need in the first place when it comes to the work patterns (3). In this case, the emphasis is put on the patents, who are to benefit from the altruistic behavior. Another important concept is authentic leadership theory defined as the high level of the employees’ engagement in the workplace activities to increase their job satisfaction and hence, productivity (4, 5). In the sphere of healthcare, it is of crucial importance for the workers to be engaged in the process, as they communicate with patients who value when specialists realize and respect the responsibility scope. When executing power within an organization, one is to consider some potential risks and benefits that result from a particular leadership model. Hence, transformational leadership theory results in both the leader and the follower being able to experience professional growth by interacting with each other (6). Another example of such a collaboration can be traced in the basics of participative leadership theory, which implies the team’s full-scale involvement in the decision-making process. Finally, the transactional leadership theory concerns the ways in which staff members are delegated the major tasks. In this framework, employees are secured in terms of workload, but they have little autonomy in the context of decision-making. The United Arab Emirates, having one of the most developed healthcare systems in terms of financial aid and technological advancements, still obtains some major drawbacks when dealing with leadership management. Most of these issues are closely related to the country’s cultural background, where democracy is, to some extent, limited by the power of some culturally superior social groups (7). Hence, it would be of great importance to analyze participative theory in the UAE’s environmental patterns. To begin with,
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and fibromyalgia syndrome have been often defined as linked conditions due to the similarity of symptoms exhibited by the patients. Furthermore, according to the study conducted by Hauser et al. (2013), the majority of patients eligible for analysis and the assessment of posttraumatic stress disorder and fibromyalgia were women (93.9%) (p. 1216). Therefore, the importance of assessing how posttraumatic growth can affect women, especially mothers that suffer from fibromyalgia and experience a number of disruptions in their lifestyle are an issue that requires further exploration. Pain and overwhelming fatigue, cognitive impairment, as well as sleep dysfunction, are the main symptoms of fibromyalgia (Sumpton & Moulin, 2009, p. 477); therefore, the lifestyle of a patient, especially a mother, is challenged to a great extent. In such cases, mothers with fibromyalgia are advised to engage in physical activities that increase the well-being as well as prevent the muscles from wasting, subsequently reducing the chronic pain and tiredness (A.D.A.M., 2013, para. 1). The lifestyle of a mother with posttraumatic growth and fibromyalgia is challenged by physical and psychological pain on a daily basis, which greatly influences the immediate family, which, in turn, has to make some changes in lifestyle to relieve the mother from her day-to-day duties that she cannot accomplish due to her condition. To relieve the symptoms of posttraumatic growth in mothers suffering from fibromyalgia, it is often advised to take antidepressants in low dosages so that the patient is able to deal with chronic sleep and pain problems. Mothers that do not get enough sleep due to the constant pain are challenged to exist in a family with children and other relatives since they lack the energy and physical wellness to perform as mothers. Therefore, a framework for positive change in a household where a mother is challenged by PTSD and fibromyalgia directly relates to making changes among all family members in order to relieve the mother from usual duties. It is important for the family to understand why the mother needs to rest for some time, so that the family’s activities can change from playing outside to reading a book inside while the mother is resting, for instance. However, changes in family behavior are not what will induce positive change for PTSD and fibromyalgia since the treatment requires some talk and body therapy for the patient, which can include the techniques for meditation, changes to undertake a new hobby and sleep improvement strategies. Positive change transformations occur when a patient starts achieving the balance between mental and physical h
Noble cause corruption entails actions which are considered bad according to societal ethics and illegal constitutionally; however, they are done with good or noble intentions. Law enforcing institutions are prone to committing noble cause corruption due to the nature and demands of the institution (Delattre 201). This is a threat to the profession considering the fact that such institutions uphold high ethical standards. A policeman may stop a moving vehicle on a highway and obtain the drivers consent to search the car. Judging from past experience the driver or occupant of the vehicle has criminal records of drug dealing and it will be best if he/she is kept off the streets. After a thorough search the policeman finds nothing that could warrant his/her arrest. Since the policeman knows the driver/occupant of the vehicle is a threat to the society, he dramatically puts some illegal drugs on the car which will act as a basis for his/ her arrest. The policeman eventually arrests the driver/occupant of the vehicle with an intention of sending him/her back to the authorities. Though it is a violation of the constitution, in my perspective I consider this move by the policeman acceptable since the end is for betterment of our society. One may argue that it’s the policeman who should be arrested and not the occupant or diver of the vehicle. A person can be kidnapped either for a ransom or for any other demanded benefit. In pursuit to this case a member of the kidnappers’ crew is arrested and admits having been involved in the kidnapping after an intensive interrogation (Delattre 201). I consider it acceptable even though it is a violation to the constitution, for the policemen to use force by inflicting pain on the kidnapper with an aim of locating where the kidnapped is held hostage. It is constitutionally considered that after a specific arrest period the detainee is released with only pending case in court. A police who has arrested a serial killer and eventually putting him in custody may extend custody period with an aim of preventing him to continue his series of killings. Though with the knowledge of the killer’s constitutional right they still proceed to extend custody period for the sake saving the community from such a serial killer. Though it is unconstitutional, it’s best for them to act in this manner since it’s safer for the community if such are behind bars. An arrest justification may be issued for the apprehension of a drug dealer. On the way to the drug dealer’s apartment an envelope is seen falling from the apartment though not from the drug d
Dilemma Bp oil spill was a major disaster on the environment, which made the Americans recommend criminal charges. Many people criticized the way the oil spill was handled by the federal government and their rating was negative. The response of BP had more criticism where negative rating was 81% while 64% had the opinion that BP together with involved companies was supposed to have criminal charges. The public image of BP was damaged due to unnecessary risks it took together with the partners who were drilling which contributed to the spill. The spill resulted in the closure of fisheries, oiling of wildlife, and the beaches were fouled resulting in dismay of the public due to the damage. The officials of the aquarium discussed sponsorship of BP to have another venue but the BP name was to be retained. After the spill, there was a forum on how to drill ocean oil but there was a challenge on the way forward. The process of making decisions was not easy by the institutions that were not aiming to make a profit. How to solve the dilemma using Kant’s ethics (categorical imperative) The government of the United States should request BP to pay compensation because of the damages it caused which will be morally acceptable. This is because Companies cannot be allowed to damage the environment, affect the economy as well as third parties. If this is allowed, companies would be concerned with profit maximization while causing harm to the environment and citizens. The government should intervene by charging BP all the losses it caused the stakeholders who were affected by the accident to compensate them for the damages. According to Categorical imperative, every dilemma should have an end solution but not a means to a solution. The government of the United States is capable of solving the problem of the BP oil spill by choosing the proper option and considering its consequences. (Ruggiero, 2007). How to solve the dilemma using any other method we have discussed to date The dilemma can be solved through virtue ethics where people can be educated and natured properly. People should be taught how to be responsible for good traits, which includes intellectual and personal traits. To solve the dilemma of the BP oil spill, specific virtues are required by the government of the United States. This will depend on how the government will be responsible to assist the society, environment as well as the citizens. The government should estimate the losses incurred and charge the company for the damages to the stakeholders and the environment. Prudence is necessary for proper judgment to be made while trust helps to ensure that the problem is solved thoroughly. State which resolution (Kant’s or the other one you chose) you prefer and why The government should solve the problem using virtue ethics through cooperation strategy by raising funds from volunteers and request citizens to donate funds to help in the recovery of the environment. This will help to fully mitigate the damages that the oil spill caused and ensure that the company does not
