Dubai’s auto industry has shown significant growth and stability in the past years. This makes it a viable industry to invest. However, it is important to understand the characteristic of the industry to ensure profitable investment. The aim of this report is to present an overview of Dubai’s car market. The information presented in the report will serve as a map, guiding the decisions of players in the auto industry. The findings in this research are based on an investigation into current and possibly future customer preferences of motorists in Dubai while making car purchase decisions. There has been an increase in the purchase of secondhand vehicles in Dubai (HSBC, 2013). This research will investigate the factors that influence the prices of cars. Considering the increase in secondhand vehicle choices amongst consumers, the study will focus on identifying the relationship between preferred vehicle price and car mileage. Research methodology The research is performed by identifying and analysing different analyzable data. Secondary and primary data are sourced for effective analysis. It is important to understand Dubai’s auto industry from the perspective of already concluded research before delving into the current study. Secondary data will summarise different findings concerning Dubai’s auto industry. The variables included in the primary research study will be a product of findings in the secondary data. The primary data for this research study was collected through a survey of Dubai residents. The targets data related to the participants’ car preferences. The questionnaire will be distributed online and will be developed in such a way that repos ends can easily respond to the questions. All questions included in the questionnaire will be close-ended to derive results that are easily analyzable. The links to the questionnaire will be emailed to the participants and they may respond to the questionnaire at their convenience. The link will be closed after three weeks and 50 fully completed questionnaires will be collected and analysed. The analysis will try to relate the participants’ car preferences with their demographics. The first title in the questionnaire (Target Market) comprises the independent variables, which include gender, age group, and income. The other titles are the dependent variables. By correlating respondents’ demographics, with their preferences, cost expectations, and their buying decisions, the demographic market that fits the different car types can be identified. Conclusions will be drawn from the outcomes of the analyses. The questionnaire is presented in the Appendix section of this report (Appendix I). Dubai’s automotive market overview Numerous articles and surveys focus on reviewing Dubai’s auto mobile industry (Jafza, 2013).It will be difficult to state the exact methods and results of each survey and research concerning Dubai’s auto industry. However some important points were drawn from a review of these studies. Firstly, trends indicate that vehicle users in Dubai are preferring second hand cars (Jafza, 2013). A 40% growth in sales of second cars was rec
Introduction When the informational society replaced the industrial one, the computerization of all spheres of life has occurred. The Internet and other web-based tools, such as social media, became the driving force in the given developmental process. As a result, it has drastically changed marketing and advertising, where analog and print media were utilized as the primary means of communication for decades. The core feature of the Internet as a virtual and limitless space − the capacity for immediate access to and reproduction of information − has led to the development of new knowledge base and creation of a new informational worldview. Moreover, the Internet space is interactive in nature. Thus, the World Wide Web became one of the most efficient means of communication, providing a large number of opportunities for marketers to interact with potential consumers. Evolution of Marketing Paradigms Before 1990, the major marketing models employed by organizations included strategic marketing (1960’s-1970’s), and relationship marketing (1980’s-1990’s). While the major goal of the former is the increase of the company’s competitiveness and reduction of rivals’ market share, the latter aims to turn customers into long-term partners and develop a relationship portfolio (Maxim, 2009). Technological advancements that took place in the middle of the 1990’s have triggered the shift towards a new marketing paradigm, integrated marketing communications (IMC). According to Peltier, Schibrowsy, and Schultz (2003), “IMC is a concept of marketing communication planning that recognizes the added value of using a comprehensive plan to evaluate the strategic roles of a variety of communication disciplines” (p. 93). Its emergence was directly related to progressing independence of the Internet and information technologies as such, their rapid development and integration
Health education is very important in improving the health of individuals as well as communities. Secondary education is the formal education that is given during adolescence. The students should be given health education in their adolescence period. Health education is defined as “methods used to inform people about health issues and to persuade and enable them to adopt lifestyles that the educators believe will improve health and to reject habits regarded as harmful to health.” ( Health Education 2009). The main purpose of health education at the secondary education level is to give common knowledge, mold the students for their higher education, and also to make them aware of the various health problems and how to prevent and what all precautions have to be taken. What people and/or experiences have helped shape your views on learning and growth? Some people and experiences help us a lot in shaping our views on learning and growth. There is nothing to substitute education. The money can be stolen by others but the learning or knowledge that we gain can never be stolen by others. Whatever we observe from our surroundings is considered as learning. Our inspiration towards learning and growth is influenced by many factors such as people, situations, experience, etc. In our daily life, we come across many problems and situations. When we face any problem we find ways to overcome it; so there we are learning how to solve it. If such a problem arises in the future we will be confident to handle that problem. What draws you to teaching? Teaching is a process of delivering knowledge to those persons who need it. It must be delivered to the right persons in the right place at the right time. In my early days, I had realized that I can teach and I was very much attracted to the teaching profession. And I felt I can do well in the field of teaching. Teaching is not an easy task. Just lecturing is not teaching. We should make sure that whatever we have taught is very clear to the students and it will help them in their life. As a teacher, what will you value most and why? As a teacher, I believe in taking special care to make my classroom festive, comfortable, and friendly. I also believe that the success of a student depends upon the involvement of parents in the student’s life. Teaching is not confined to lecturing but a teacher has to make sure that it has reached the students in the way they need it. As a teacher, I give more value to certain aspects such as involvement of parents, student motivation, interactive classroom sessions, healthy student-teacher relationships, and teacher enthusiasm. The teacher is responsible not only to give subject knowledge but also to equip the students to face the challenges that may arise in their future life. If there are any aspects of your background that would indicate leadership skills or contribute to the desired diversity of our program, please indicate. A teacher should possess leadership skills. The teacher leads his/her students to follow the right path whereby they can achieve success in their life. As a teacher, I give more importance to my values which help others. I initiated a
Every doctor and nurse must have the skills and knowledge to communicate with people. Professionals not only create a treatment plan but also observe ethical principles. Ethics helps specialists act humanely, tactfully, and professionally, which positively affects the patients’ recovery. The fundamental principles of ethics that laid down the activities’ basis for medical personnel are nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice, and autonomy (Varkey, 2021). This paper reflects the principle of nonmaleficence, which assumes doing no harm (DeCamp et al., 2018). Despite the importance and apparent universality of ethical principles, there are many controversial aspects in their application. Medical workers have been a respected profession since ancient times, and some requirements had also arisen a long time ago. The principle of nonmaleficence is reflected in the Hippocratic oath in words, “First do no harm” (Summers, 2009, p. 41). According to Varkey (2021), this principle supports moral rules as not to kill, not to cause pain and suffering, not to inflict offense, and similar obligations. For me, this principle is the basis of practice and an action guide. Decision-making based on the assessment of potential consequences, benefits or harms, is critical. Moreover, the violation of nonmaleficence, in addition to the damage to health itself, can destroy the patient’s trust in medicine. As a result, if there are many such people, it threatens the reliability of health care and the nation’s health. In practice, the principle of nonmaleficence must determine every action of a medical professional. It implies assessing the benefits and burden of potential treatment steps and choosing the best one for the patient (Varkey, 2021). This assessment is critical in complex bioethical dilemmas such as abortion, euthanasia, and similar issues. The problem is that in terms of different approaches, harm can imply various things (Summers, 2009). I most often apply this principle by offering the best treatment options, preserving patients’ confidential information, and respectfully communicating with them, considering their emotional condition. Violation of these rules can harm a person’s health and dignity. Despite all the aspirations of specialists to comply with ethical principles, their workload and sometimes character can lead to a violation of nonmaleficence. I witnessed an example that included harm due to neglect. A patient confined to the bed could not move enough, and due to workload and fatigue, the staff did not pay enough attention to this problem. As a result, bed sores appeared that caused significant inconvenience and healed for a long time. The incident drew attention to the problem, and the administration took measures to eliminate it. The established work structure significantly influences adherence to ethical principles in the hospital. For this reason, the critical responsibility of the health manager is to promo
Coca Cola Company is the largest beverage business that deals with retailing, manufacturing as well as marketing of its products. Basically, the company deals with only non-alcoholic drinks and syrups. The mode of operation of the company is a franchise system, which is known all over the world. The company has its headquarters in Atlanta Georgia and is also listed in New York stock exchange. Since its incorporation in 1892, the company has since grown to produce over 500 different brands of refreshments and syrups. Through the years, the company has acquired different companies all over in the line of refreshments making it a world renowned brand. The company boasts of having a covering of 200 countries with a daily sale of billions of their products. However, it is notable that most of their sales come from United States, probably because it is the home of their brand. The company has continually lobbied for a good legislation of their products in the United States. The move is mostly focused in the increase tax sub
Introduction   * Rape cases have increased dramatically over the past few number of years   * While authorities have taken initiatives and implemented policies to bring the offenders to justice, there is a lot that needs to be addressed in this genre   * In the United States ,Self-help and other counseling groups have been developed to assist victims, families, and friends in coping with the aftermath of rape How are the Rapists dealt with?   * Rape could be spontaneous or premeditated   * Spontaneous rape could be a result of sexual aggression while premeditated rape may be construed by acquaintances, a partner of even someone from within the family.   * The kind of punishment the offender has to bear is dependent on a number of factors:       + Will they be prosecuted on arrest?       + If not arrested will they be convicted? Statistical Analysis   * In 2002-2003, an average 223,280 victims of rape were reported.   * 40 % of these were reported to law regulation authorities   * Across America, statistically speaking, every two and a half minutes, someone is made a victim of sexual assault. The attitude of repeat offenders   * Study suggests that majority of repeat offenders end up becoming even more aggressive and bold after being convicted.   * Each subsequent offense after being released intensifies in its brutality.   * They become physically more aggressive and incorporate the use of knives, guns and other weapons   * Statistically, most of the repeat offenders are arrested in no more than 3 years after being released. Convicted Rapists after Reform   * Post reform, convicted rapists are normally imprisoned in state institutions   * Prison sentences have declined from 35 to 27% whereas treatment facilities for inpatients have increased from 22 to 55%.   * The number of cases prosecuted have however been stagnant. Who is responsible for the rape?   * There are multifaceted views by different people associated with this crime over the actual culprit.   * While the convicted say they were the women who said “No” but were actually provocative and deserved it, the victims downplay these charges.   * The more educated respondents have adopted a rather severe approach where they hold the rapists as solely responsible for the offense. They deny any kind of involvement by the women. What should be the penalties?   * It could never be clarified precisely how a raped virgin would figure “the nature of act”   * Different kind of penalties of varying nature have been introduced by various state institutions.   * Border states had introduced death penalty for rapists in 1965   * Juvenile rapists on the other hand receive minimum punishment. Conclusion Prosecution of the rapists is not undertaken to the maxim by the judicial system today. We have to put our foot down and ensure that they are brought to justice and filth is thrown out from the society.
Deliverable 1 The Motion Picture Industry Value Chain Could the motion picture industry add value to their productions if they concentrated on only one venture? Most of the distribution in the market is done by the divisions of major studios. The studio’s investments span across various major fields and this makes the management of the investment a great challenge. If the studio’s concentrated only on movie production, the quality of their productions would increase. They would channel all their energies into creating new movie ideas and this would definitely appeal to their target audience. The Business of Exhibition Could movie exhibitors find other ways of adding value to the customer while gaining revenue? Most of the profits made by exhibitors are from the sale of concessions. The food served at the movies has gradually increased in price but the quality has remained the same. If movie exhibitors diversified their food options and incorporated alcohol in their drinks options, their high food prices would be justified and the customer base would be increased if they added food options for vegetarians. The Theater Experience Now that people can watch movies in their own home, what can movie exhibitors do now to gain that competitive advantage over home theatre systems and offer customers something that their home theatre system cannot? In order to stay in business, the theaters can open smal
Introduction The success of a business is determined by the quality of decisions that managers at different levels make. The decisions should be well thought and ensure that at any one point they can facilitate utilization of a company’s strengths and it mitigates internal weakness. The decisions should ensure that a company stands external threats as it takes advantage of opportunities offered by environment it is operating in. S.W.O.T. and T.O.W.S analysis are management tools used to interpolate external and internal strengths of a company. Samsung is an international electronic company with well known brands in the market (Samsung Official Website, 2010). By undertaking an S.W.O.T. /T.O.W.S. analysis for the company, its stakeholders will understand its market standing. This paper takes a look at S.W.O.T./T.O.W.S analysis of Samsung Company. Strengths Samsung has is highly developed in technology; this assisted the company make products which are responsive to customers need all over the world. Its products are respected for their reliability and quality. This has made the company gain a strong brand name. Customers have become loyal to the company as they are aware and guaranteed quality. In every five months, the company undertakes its level of technology evaluation and aims at being the leader in technological development in line with its mission statement. It also has a well developed art-crafts infrastructures. The company has a pool of experienced employees who are able to make unique products which the customers want. In decision making, employees are included to give their contributions. This move that has assisted the company improves its products with time. This has created customer satisfaction and helped the company command a large market. The company focuses at ensuring their end customer satisfaction. Increased population with better lifestyles has created a demand for electronic goods. This results to an increased market that can be tapped by the company. Weaknesses The company lacks an innovative mind to make new products; rather it focuses on improving its current products. This hampers its products differentiation since they are similar to those in the market with few improvements. This is a competitor attack approach which may not always work to the good of Samsung. The company enjoys economies of scale which from a psychological point of view acts to the disadvantage of the company. The large market enables the company to sell its products cheaply, however people tend to think that low cost goods are low quality. This affects the companies market negatively. As a result of massive investment in technology and products improvement, the company’s products are ahead of the level of technology that people in the world have. This has resulted to products which are not user friendly (Goold & Campbell, 2002). Opportunities Globalisation has facilitates the movement of goods and services across different countries. If the company is able to differentiate its products, the opened economies offer an opportunity for large markets. It should also aim at offering artefact variation. When this is affected, the c
Introduction Three results played a central role in defining and shaping decision-making. These formed the evaluation measures. The Monte Carlo method was also opted for simulation analysis. Net Present Value The net value is considered as the present amount of the project’s costs deducted from the current value of inflow cash and this difference is the amount due from the project to the shareholders. As the Net Present Value increases the higher, the quantity contributed by the project appreciates therefore increasing the value of the stock’s price. The Net Present Value is the commonly preferred criteria for the single screening exercise. Projects considered under net present value options fall either in the short-term or long-term categories. Short-term projects occur when the cash inflows are made relatively sooner. On the other hand, long-term projects consist of more cash inflow than their short-term counterpart does. However, it is possible in the later years of the projects. In the discounted cash flow analysis, the focal approach is the net present value. In addition, it takes the structure of a time value for cash appraisal utility. This is especially true in the case of long-term projects. The net present value has found its way in the capital budgeting sector. In other related fields, it is useful to measure underperformance or surplus in the cash flows in the current value terms in order to meet the charges for finances. Internal Rate of Return Internal Rate of Return is a unique approach in the application of discount rates. This is because when applied it generates a non-discounted model with zero net present value for either inflow or outflow cash for investment’s economic life. This means there is a breakeven of cash flow such that an exact neutral balance of the incoming and outgoing cash flows influences the investment. In this case, the principal of investment is recoverable given a period of economic life. This period is specific and the incoming cash flow makes equal returns based on the discount rate given. There are three conditions of internal rate of return similarly experienced in the net present value. They include either the internal rate of return becoming equal to, falling below or becoming higher than the desired return standard. One of the reasons for the preference of internal rate of return is its lack of complexity when performed during comparison with the cost of capital. This is especially true when expressed as a percentage. There is a similar experience when compared with the return standard. In most cases, the outcomes proceeding from a project show an influenced pattern exhibited by the cash flow and the economic life. In order to obtain the internal rate of return, we make this an independently variable within t
