Description Sears Holdings is a corporation that based in the United States. The multinational corporation has over 4,000 retail stores across the globe. Sears Holdings started in 2005 following the merger between Kmart and Sears. The company operates its stores under the names Kmart and Sears (“Sears Holdings Corporate Website”, para 1). It also has a number of subsidiaries that it operates under their own names. Sears is ranked number ten among the largest retail stores in the United States in terms of revenue. The company’s main business is the sale of home appliances, mobile devices and accessories, fruits and vegetables (grocery), as well as food products, drinks, and beverages. In addition, the company also offers fitness equipment, as well as lawn and garden tools. It also offers a number of home services such as installations. An organization has to adopt a business model that is viable and likely to give it a competitive advantage to succeed in the business world. The business model adopted by Sears Holdings is aimed at maximizing consumer satisfaction. It is imperative to note that a business model is developed to create, deliver, as well as capture value for the organization. The value of an organization gives it a competitive edge. The company aims at attracting more customers and increasing its sales. In line with this, Sears has a business model called, “Shop Your Way”. Under this model, the customers are given the privilege to buy whatever they want and shop in the style that they feel comfortable with. Shoppers earn points as they buy. They are also rewarded with benefits that are in both digital and physical formats. Rewarding is done through ShopYourWay.com (“Sears Holdings Corporate Website”, para 1). It is important to note that “Shop Your Way” is aimed at encouraging people to shop online. Every item that one buys online earns points. This reduces the operating costs of the organization and increases its profitability. Online sales save the organization the cost incurred in holding stock, as well as other costs related to warehousing. The customers are able to chat with the organization’s staff through the online services. Customers are able to ask for assistance any time they are stuck. In addition, they are able to get real time feedback on any issue they would like to inquire about. This business model is in line with the increasing use of technology in business. It is a model that has the ability to facilitate innovation, efficiency, and effectiveness. Business objectives Organizations need to be guided by objectives to achieve their goals.

Under this objective, the organization aims at encouraging those who will shop in its premises to come back in the future. The company has a strategy whereby it targets to create a long-term relationship with its cu
Construct Development and Scale Creation This research focused on the construction of Job Satisfaction in workplace. Job satisfaction in workplace has been a very critical aspect in defining the productivity of any company or organization. To be precise, the performance of the employees within the organization has a close linkage to job satisfaction. Job satisfaction has much to do with the attitude the workers have toward their jobs. This will determine if there are positive or negative instincts or extinct in the nature of the job performed (Taber, & Alliger, 1995). According to Slater, O’Halloran, Connelly, and McCormack (2010), individuals with the desire and urge to keep on working perform better in the organization compared to the unwilling workers. In addition, the quality of work delivered by the satisfied individuals has been very high as well as consistence in service delivery to the company. Therefore, this study could be very significant in many companies looking forward to elevate the working morale of their workers. This will in return increase job satisfaction in the companies through catering for the individuals’ welfare in various aspects of life (Slater, O’Halloran, Connelly, & McCormack, 2010). According to Alam and Mohammad (2010), job satisfaction falls under six different facets in the organization. These are “satisfaction with supervisor, satisfaction with variety, satisfaction with closure, satisfaction with compensation, satisfaction with co-workers, and Satisfaction with management and HR policies” (p. 125). However, these facets may vary from one individual to another in determining the satisfaction in job. Workers will be satisfied with some of these aspects, for instance, good relation with the supervisor, good salary, but aspects of the work become a barrier to full job satisfaction. When job satisfaction in the workplace deteriorates, workers are left with many options triggered by this dissatisfaction. Among these options could be a change in the nature of job, quitting the current job, or remaining in the same job but with less morale (Johnson & Johnson, 2000). This in return dictates the productivity of the organizations. Organizational Research has revealed that the attitudes developed among the workers has much to with payment, coworkers, company policies, and supervisors among other (Johnson & Johnson, 2000). Low job satisfaction, deterioration of management, and failure to offer adequate support to worker are the symptoms likely to make workers leave their jobs. Sometimes they can ignore their duties or offer poor job qualities (Firth, Mellor, Moore, & Loquet, 2004). Items used in domains sampling  1. Directives in the organization  2.

Introduction In the modern economy, advertising plays a central role in the growth of companies because it markets products, creates awareness among potential customers, and persuades them to purchase. In essence, advertising boosts sales significantly, generates profit, and enables customers to grow in the competitive local and global markets. Given that advertising is a very powerful tool in marketing, it shapes buying behavior of customers. Advertising can shape beliefs, norms, values, principles, and ethics in the society because marketers carefully design adverts that influence consumer behavior. Companies spend billions of dollars every year in advertising their products with the objective of retaining customers, attracting new ones, and increasing their sales. Since marketing offers companies freedom of expressing their products to customers, they should operate within the confines of their freedom. However, companies do not operate within their inalienable freedom of expression because they infringe on the rights
Introduction The year 1929 to 1939 marked the period when the western world was almost brought on its knees. Never in the history of civilization had the Western world experienced such a severe and prolonged period of depression. The depression effects spread from United States to the rest of the world. Generally, there were spiraling rates of unemployment, reduced output and high levels of deflation across the globe. The economic and cultural crisis occurring as a result of the depression almost paralleled what was experienced during the Civil War. Economic History The effects of depression were felt at different times in different parts of the world. Europe and the United States were most affected. On the other hand, countries like Japan and those in Latin America were the least affected. The depression was triggered by several factors such as inappropriate economic policies in United States that led to a decline of output, a fall in consumer demand and widespread financial panic (Duiker, 2007). The downturn was transferred to other parts of the world more conveniently due to the gold standard that was used by all countries to facilitate exchange of currency. In retrospect, the great depression was brought to an end when the countries unanimously agreed to do away with the gold standard. Instead, a consensus of expanding the monetary policy was reached to reduce the likelihood of such an occurrence. New economic theories were adapted, new global economic institutions built and new microeconomic policies enacted and implemented (Romer, 1992). The economic downturn began in the summer of 1929. The great depression was to wreck havoc from this period up to early 1933. Prices and output fell sharply. The United States experienced a 47% decline in industrial production and its GDP fell by 30%. Deflation which is the measure of a fall in wholesale price index had fallen by 33%. Unemployment is said to have gone up by 20% according to statistical reports (Keylor, 2001). A person can understand best the severity of this depression when the foregoing statistical results are compared to the recession occurring from 1981 to 1982 in the United States. In between this period, GDP plummeted by 2%, unemployment had gone up by 10% and the prices increased dramatically though they suddenly started declining. The condition of gradual decline in prices after previously rising sharply is called disinflation. A country like Great Britain had to endure prolonged periods of depression especially during the 20’s after having decided to revert to gold
Market segmentation and target marketing has become relevant in the technology market in South Korea. The competition has become so stiff that firms are forced to develop products that meet the demands of consumers in a unique way (Mohr & Slater 2010, p. 87). In order to do this, there is need to understand specific market in details as a way of determining their tastes and preferences. This means that the era when a firm targeted the entire market is over. Currently, a firm must select a specific market segment that it can offer quality goods or services, and target this segment with tailor-made products that are specific in meeting their needs. After understanding the target market segment, it becomes easier to develop products with specific features that would meet their tastes and preferences. This paper seeks to determine the potential of consumers aged 18 to 40 as an appropriate target market segment in the high-tech market in South Korea. In South Korea, high-tech industry has become so competitive that firms have come to appreciate the importance market segmentation, and targeting specific segments with desirable products. Most of the high-tech firms have found people aged 18-40 to be the desirable segment to target with these products. This is not only because of their high number, but also their interest in such products. The graph below shows the percentage of different population segments. This graph shows that majority of South Koreans fall within the age of 15-65 years. It means that the percentage population of people aged 18-40 is also relatively high. This makes the group very desirable as a target market segment for high tech products. Source: (McDonald 2012, p. 45) According to Shanklin and Ryans (2007, p. 90), besides the population, it is important to understand the purchasing power of the target market before making a decision to select them as the desirable segment. This scholar says that the purchasing power of a given population would always be determined by their ability to get employment. South Koreans aged 18-40 are young and middle-aged adults that should be in stable employment. This means that they have regular earnings from their employment. The chart below shows the percentage of income of this group as compared to other age groups identified in the research. Source: (Lamb 2012, p. 56) According to the chart above, the purchasing power of this target group is very impressive. This means that they can afford the products offered in the high-tech market. This target market includes adults that have just been employed and do not have a lot of family-related responsibilities. For this reason, they have high disposable income that can be directed into this industry. The middle-aged adults found in this group are people who have earned some promotions in their jobs, and therefore, they have attractive salaries. Their desire to appear unique in their way of life makes them an attractive market segment in the high-tech market in this country. Another factor that makes this segment attractive is their interest in high-tech products. People within thi
Introduction Technology has definitely become an important aspect of our daily lives. Whether directly or indirectly, people interact with technology on their daily basis and get affected differently. The manner in which individuals get affected further varies from one person to the other. This essay focuses on the impact of digital technology on our culture with special emphasis on how youths have been affected by various aspects of digital technology. To achieve this objective, views from three authors have been considered through comparative analysis. These authors are: Charles McGrath, Lakshmi Chaundhry and Will Wright. Digital technology analysis In his article, The Pleasures of the text , McGrath analyzes how digital technology has affected the manner in which young people communicate especially using mobile phones. With affordability of mobile phones having risen, messaging has gained preference among young people. He notes that the language of text messaging encompasses a wide range of elements like shorthand contractions, emoticons, acronyms and letter-number homophones (McGrath 1). He argues that this preference is based on the limited number of characters that a text message can accommodate and the less versatility nature of cell phone screens. He says “But because the typical cell phone screen can accommodate no more than 160 characters, and because the cell phone touchpad is far less versatile than the computer keyboard, text-messaging puts an even greater premium on concision” (McGrath 1). Because of the emerging texting trends, books have been written for acronyms like CWOT (complete waste of time) (McGrath 1). He further notes that text-messaging has mimicked hip hop so much that most commonly used characteristics are used by hip hoppers say, “a” for “er”. As a result, this form of texting that is common among young people is “lateral” and encourages mindlessness among users. It is a rude way of expressions especially in Britain where relationships are terminated using such messages. He further affirms that excessive use of this messaging style is common in developing countries where messages are more affordable than voice calls. This has also been promoted by culture like in China where voice messages symbolize rudeness among users (McGrath 1). On the other hand, Chaundhry argues that technology has created a new era of celebrities as people have endless opportunities to celebrate their heroes online. In his article, Mirror, Mirror on the Web , he notes that becoming a celebrity is no longer an honor in the digital world and that ordinary citizens have significantly grabbed these opportunities. With the existence of mammoth technological ideas, the world is likely to change in several ways. He refers to this as progressive fantasy which is interlaced with collaboration, change and communit
The main aim of this paper is to propose a community health intervention program that is targeted at reducing the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections in Atlanta. I will expand on my stakeholder and added parents. Previous stakeholders were the public health department, medical providers, and education department. Parents play a significant role in educating the youth and involving them ensures that the program’s intervention will start from home. This paper will cover the interventions in-depth for example vaccination will explain the ages recommended and the type of injection. Education materials that will be used for intervention will be covered and also counseling approaches and individuals who will provide counseling will be summarized. This intervention of the STD program will show how the youth can promote positive social change because it enables them to take control of their health bearing in mind that they are the future leaders. Starting with a small community of Atlanta can help spread the work of empowerment of the youth and through peer pressure, the empowerment can spread to different regions. Promoting healthy lives and hence the social change. This project proposal will demonstrate competence in Master’s of Public Health Program outcomes because it will cover number three of the ten Essential Public Health Services which is to inform, educate, and empower people about health issues. The program will also contribute substantially to the community’s health impact by educating the youth on STDs prevention, symptoms to watch and treatment offered. Introduction Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) is an infection that one contracts during sex. The Prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is high in the United States among adolescents. Due to public health issues of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among the youth, there has been an interest in adolescent sexual health. People who start having sex early as adolescence is at a greater risk of contracting STD’s and these are concerns that the public health department has in mind. Citation Rates of gonorrhea and chlamydia are highest in females aged 15 – 19 years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), many people acquire Human Papillomavirus (HPV) during their adolescent years. Most STDs affect reproductive and sexual organs only but others like Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), hepatitis B, syphilis, etc., cause general body infections. One can have STD with no signs or symptoms, and, most often, the symptoms may come and go until treated (Georgia Department of Public Health, 2012). Georgia has one of the highest rates of Sexually Transmitted Infections in the United States. Atlanta is ranked third for syphilis rates, sixth for gonorrhea rates, and seventh for Chlamydia rates. In 2010, more than 52,000 cas
