Healthy life is the key to successful existence in a social medium. Indeed, sport activities do not only ensure physical health, but also widen individual’s opportunities for expanding their knowledge. Therefore, coordination of schools, local communities, and federal agencies can provide a viable solution to the problem of population health. In order to promote health lifestyles among individuals, government should work in cooperation with local communities. It should also resort to various approaches and schemes to cover all areas of health improvement, including medicine, sport, dietary therapy, and quality of living. At the same time, the local communities should also make enough effort to justify the reforms introduced by the authorities. The initiated programs should be premised on two-part participation so that mutual interaction and agreement is ensured. Such an approach should provide the starting point for promoting a real change to physical activity behavior. Although these solutions are inclined to consider general and theoretical foundations, they have practical importance as well. In particular, it is possible to create a family-school collaboration project that will take control of students and design a specialized program that enhances their engagement in sporting activities. Development of a family-school support for enhancing physical activity initiative is among the most effective strategies for developing a new ideology of a healthy life. In particular, parents should adhere to the standards and principles of the Health People 2020 program to provide the appropriate education at home. Alternatively, children will not be able to change their perception simultaneously, and the program can become a failure. What is more important is that adults should also accept the standards and indult into physical activities together with their children so that it should not be as an assignment, but as an entertainment for both children and parents. Apart from direct involvement of parents, the program should also invite health care organizations that could assist in developing specialized conferences, meetings, and sporting events emphasizing the significance of sport in life of people. Coordination of Health People 2020 program is highly important because it guarantees successful promotion of new standards and principles that individuals should follow. However, strict control does not always have a positive effect on student’s awareness due to the excess pressure on his life. In this respect, the assessment of physical activities can be accomplished in a voluntary way. For instance, the program coordination can be carried
Introduction The strengths of DFS and the friendly business environment in India place the company, which is a leader in the production of sofas in the United Kingdom and Europe, at a better place to exploit the Indian market. The strengths include forty years of experience in the upholstery industry in the designing and manufacturing of these products. With an easy payment method, capability to make high-quality designs, automated booking, and delivery procedures, and a ten-year guarantee, the company’s products are better placed to attract customers and offer a viable competitive challenge to competitors. India on the other side is better placed as a target market because of the social, demographic, and business environment and opportunities. These conditions however require specific attention and analysis to come up with a marketing plan and strategy to launch a market for the named products. In addition, variations may be expected as relates to customer choices and preferences and competitor’s strengths and weaknesses. This report analyzes the possibility of business success in India for DFS sofas business and how best the company can utilize the existing internal strength and the market conditions in India to take advantage of marketing conditions in India to establish a business venture and succeed. The macro-environmental factors of the Indian market Economic Conditions Analysis of the economic conditions in a country helps one to identify the likelihood of success and the growth of the business to be launched. Economic indicators showing a positive likelihood of improvement would increase the chances of the establishment of the business and vice versa, whereas control measures may be put in place to avoid the likely dangers if the negative indicators do not erode the likelihood of attaining other benefits. In consideration of the DFS products, the company may wish to know the current political conditions that would influence stability necessary for investment, capital inflows, and markets, which are players in the economy. Thriving of the Indian market would be expected to largely translate to better performance of DFS other factors remaining constants. Moreover, the consumption pattern and the demand for products in question would be necessary tools for scrutiny. Whereas the present conditions may be necessary for analysis, it is important to consider that the success of the business will also depend on the future effects and all the possibilities would better be analyzed. This is because markets are dynamic and there is always the possibility of arising new factors that could influence performance. The politi
The competitive advantage of Google Google was able to create a competitive advantage initially before 2004 through:   * Perfecting their innovative search engines, in other words, instead of counting keyword like other existing search engines, Google created reliable search through several websites (p. 4). Another factor that led to an early was its strategy of monetizing paid search (p. 2-3). This aspect eased operations and even became economical to offer services to its customers.   * Google also was able to deliver search results that people were looking for. They used the natural search to deliver the content to the users. This aspect enhanced user’s confidence in Google leading to its early success. Another factor that contributed to the early success of Google was its focus on the needs of users. For instance, its editorial content was simplified making it easier and faster to use compared to those of competitors (p.4-5).   * The unmet needs were the need for new advertisement format and tracking mechanisms as well as leveraging advertising agreements. The company was able to deliver on this through its superior infrastructure, highly qualified employees, networking and novelty (p. 4). Search a winner take-all-business In terms of query volume, Google controls 85 percent, Yahoo 6.0 percent, and Microsoft 3.6 percent. With Google alone controlling 85 percent of the entire share, the answer to the question would be yes, the search is a winner-take-all business (p.11). Also, with large resources in store, it would take more than just a good idea to overcome Google. Similarly, given that surfers have become enlightened and are looking for information in less conventional sites, Google’s style of search coupled with its well organized or indexed web pages makes it user-friendly particularly for young internet users and who happen to be the most consumers of the Internet. This factor alone makes it hard for other companies to compete with Google. Options that made the most sense for Google in addition to enhancing its core search business Building a full-fledged portal like Yahoo did not make sense for Google. In the search industry, a full-fledged portal provides access to third-party content, an aspect that would result in the additional cost of running the company (p. 13). This is because it would require the adoption of many platforms and web-based applications to perform multiple procedures successfully. An e-commerce intermediate assists buyers to shop online. eBay is an example of an e-commerce intermediate (p. 12). Taking into consideration the differences between the offerings of eBay and that of Google, it is apparent that an e-commerce transaction starts with a search of sellers online, something that Google is also identified with. Google can envelop Microsoft. This is because Google has been deliberating on going the Microsoft way by grouping desktop computers and tablets into a single bucket. Also, just like Microsoft, Google has been m
The musical traditions hosted by Trinidad often reflect its complex political history. Certain trends in musical styles and types of musical instruments emerged as a reply to the oppressive politics of European colonizers (Manuel, Bilby, & Largey 240). One of the bright examples of such creative and ingenious response to the British cultural repression is the invention of steel drum, or pan (Manuel et al. 240). The tradition of steel pan music embodies the key social trends of Caribbean society aimed at social inclusiveness (Johnson 206). The roots of steel pan bands can be traced back to the colonial past, when slaves of African origin were not allowed to practice their cultural rites and to express their national identity via playing drums (Pilgrim 427). Even after abolition of slavery in 1834, they were forced to shift their traditional celebrations of canboulay [1] to carnival days, and those were the only times when they could practice playing self-made percussion instruments (Pilgrim 427). At first those percussion ensembles consisted of bamboo tubes which were hit by sticks and therefore were called “tamboo-bamboo” after the material of instruments (Manuel et al. 240). Later on, the wooden details were substituted with metal ones and by the early 1940s metal drums took over the traditional “tamboo-bamboo” instruments (Manuel et al. 240). Initially, a steel band ensemble included most primitive objects as its instruments: biscuit or paint tins, kerosene containers, empty oil drums — everything that had a certain pitch would be used for making rhythmical music (Pilgrim 427). Everything connected with steel band activities acquires a prefix ‘pan-‘: the instruments are called pans, the performance places are panyards, the performers are pan-beaters, etc. (Pilgrim 426). According to their range, pans are classified into five categories, ranging from tenor to bass pans (Pilgrim 426). The bass, cello, and tenor pans are used for harmony, while the more sharp-sounding ping-pong drums play the melody (Manuel et al. 242). The repertoire performed by pan
Every country has its share of immigration, and the China is no exception. Due to multiple reasons people abandon their country, seeking their fortune abroad. Everyone might have one’s own ideas of what to search behind the borders of their own country, but despite the historically proved eagerness of Chinese people to live China, the real cause is still to be viewed. An emigrational aspect of the Chinese was being overlooked so many times not without a reason. One of the first Chinese experiences of resettling people was forcible moving of prominent families throughout the empire to distant cities. It was done for making sacrifices and maintaining the imperial tombs. Due to such factors as shipping routes, trade patterns and other people of China was either pulled to some places abroad or pushed out of their country in large quantities. Only in a period of the second half of nineteenth-century records show an approximate amount of 300,000 immigrants from China entering the United States (Batalova, Hooper, 2015). As for the present reasons, just to compare, they are infrastructure improvements, political reforms, education (Carlson, 2012). Europe made its own impact on the migration. When Chinese people were confident enough with foreigners, new paths of colonization were opened. Especially willing were people, to whom agriculture, the common way of Chinese living, was not an option. But here we see ambivalence towards the migrating people. Europeans needed this free labor force, but they had fear also. So the Chinese, being out of their country, were often courted, punished and executed. The times when Europe literally controlled China exacerbated the attitude. A bright example is the Philippines, where “carrot policy” was mixed with “stick policy”. The mentioned here are not all the examples of how the Chines migration was carried out. Yet, it is enough to see that it had a compulsory feature as a significant part of it. Later we read that, considering the past experience of travelers, every Asian family sends abroad only those who are strong enough to survive the challenge, which was a migration for them. And here we meet the word “diaspora”, as a system of living, which was created with the Chinese in those lands where they settled. The word “with Chinese” here fits better than “by Chinese”. Historical examples show us that migration processes of China were controlled by many parties but the Chinese emigrants themselves. So it is possible to derive that the Chinese diaspora creation had a large portion of forcibility within. Familiar events were included in the works of Sima Qian, a prominent historian of China. Life wasn’t fair to Sima Qian. For the attempt of defending Li Ling, a captured general, he was given a choice: either to select a death penalty or castration. In the times of ancient China, these two were almost equal. The shame of being a eunuch drove men to suicide, and it was common sense back then. Nevertheless, Sima Qian’s vi
Introduction Hasbro, Inc. (Hasbro) is an American multinational conglomerate that operates in the toy, board games, and media assets. It is one of the largest toy companies in the USA, and the company made over 5 billion USD of revenues in 2020, despite the pandemic events (Hasbro 2020 Annual Report, 2020, p. 3). The conglomerate focuses on brand recognition among customers, as well as the quality of their toys, but it also aims to absorb other entertainment companies to expand its brand portfolio of products. While Hasbro has established a strong position in the toy-making business and it is one of the leading toy-making companies in the USA, it is relatively new to some other areas. This work will examine Hasbro’s marketing strategies and how it approaches ethical and environmental issues. As a large product-making conglomerate, Hasbro can have a positive impact if it pays attention to social and environmental issues or negative if it does not. This work will also analyse how successful Hasbro’s strategies are and if their approach to the evolving digital media and online sales regions is effective. The conclusion will summarize the analysis’s central points and whether Hasbro as a conglomerate is reaching its full potential. Background of the Organisation Aims and Objectives The conglomerate aims to create family-friendly and profitable products and media. Hasbro often absorbs other businesses to expand its brand portfolio. It uses films, video games, and other forms of media to promote its products. Brief History of the Organisation Hasbro was originally founded by the Hassenfeld brothers in 1923 and became a primarily toy-making company in the 1940s (Investor Fact Sheet, 2021, p. 2; Hasbro Inc Company History, para. 5). Hasbro’s first toy hit was Mr Potato Head in 1952 (Investor Fact Sheet, 2021, p. 2). The conglomerate eventually partnered up with other companies, including Disney, and later absorbed Entertainment One (eOne) in 2019 to expand its brand portfolio (Investor Fact Sheet, 2021, p. 2). Description of Its Area of Activity Hasbro’s primarily operates in toy making, marketing, and distribution area. It has two divisions: Hasbro Consumer Products US and International. These divisions are based in North American countries and the rest of the world, respectively. Identification of Its Core Capabilities/Strengths Hasbro’s primary strength is a library of strong toy brands. It acquires toy production rights to partner brands as well. As a company with a long history, Hasbro has demonstrated resiliency and the ability to innovate. Discussion and Analysis of the Global Environment of the Organisation Key Threats While the North American region is stable in its profit and accessibility, the global areas are more prone to disturbances. It is demonstrated with Hasbro’s International net revenue falling by 14% in 2020 when the pandemic happened (Full-Year 2020 Financial Re
Fiscal Policy at the Beginning of 1980s In 1982, Reagan suggested several changes in policies that addressed the problem of inflation, slow economic growth, and the increase in national output. The President suggested four major changes that policies needed: a cutback in nondefense spending, increase in defense spending, 30% reduction in marginal tax rates (personal income), and tax depreciation of capital expenditures (Congressional Budget Office, 2016). According to Reagan’s propositions, growth in outlays had to be held below 6% annually, while the share of defense was to be increased from 24.7% (1981) to 33.2% (1984). Moreover, Reagan also proposed 30% reduction in individual income tax rates to reduce taxes in 1982 and 1986 ($43.9 billion vs. $172.6 billion). Business taxes were also to be reduced by means of increased business depreciation allowances (Congressional Budget Office, 2016). These tax cuts were expected to help the economy grow. However, the administration did not expect drastic changes; in 1982, high inflation and high unemployment rates were still expected. Since the economy was in a state of stagflation, Reagan needed a specific approach to overcome recession. In 1983, Social Security tax increase was signed into law. This bill addressed the rising unemployment rate, especially among Old-
Introduction The whole series is based on tricky questions and problems concerning sex and relationships, which most people wouldn’t ask their partner. In the 7 th episode of the 1 st season, Carrie asks a question, which was asked by men throughout all of history: why monogamy is so important? Carrie is pushed to the condition of mistrust by her Mr. Big and now she is angrily trying to get a hold of this problem. And Samantha is not even worried about the question of sexual monogamy, more like morale monogamy concerning her realtor. In this essay, I will try to get closer to the understanding of the problem and the driving forces that are pushing not exactly young woman to the boundary of male dreaming, where each one of them wanted to have sex with more than one woman at a time or not and didn’t really have to have a relationship with only one of them. Description “Sex and the City” makes us think differently about relations and how sex is important for a successful relationship. The psychological factor in all of these situations is universally important. The concrete jungles of New York are a perfect site for the experiments of the main characters. What a wonderful opportunity it is to think over the entire relationship between sex and relationships. Miranda has become a victim of the saying “You want, what you can’t get” when she sees Skipper with another woman. Carrie wants to be monogamous with her beloved, but she witnesses his date with another woman. She is angry and questions the whole system that existed for hundreds of years and states monogamy. Miranda is facing a self-esteem question when she realizes that she was never invited into a threesome. But, still, here is the main question of the 7 th episode of the 1 st season: “Can women have sex like men?” And why it is important to have sex only with the person you are having a relationship with? Also, Carrie and her friends make some kind of sexy and sophisticated investigations on such points as: are relationships the religion of the ’90s? Is the threesome the new sexual frontier? If so, who’s supposed to do what with whom – and when? And if single women can have sex with any man, anytime, anywhere, how come married women always assume it’ll be anytime, anywhere? Discussion Relationships between men and women have changed for the past couple of decades. The unofficial right for polygamy was owned by males, now everything has changed. There are a couple of good reasons for that, first of all, if the fact of a polygamy relationship is acceptable by both partners, then there is nothing wrong with it. Another reason is just simple curiosity. By having an intimate relationship with a single partner a person closes all of the possible chances for trying something new, pleasurable, an
This paper is aimed at discussing the organizational structure of such a company as Boeing. This corporation can be described as a matrix organization and this model attracts close attention of many business administrators. In particular, it is important to discuss the factors that prompt the management to choose this particular approach to design. Moreover, the efficiency of this approach should also be evaluated. Overall, one can say that the senior managers of this corporation pay close attention to the nature of products offered by Boeing and its operations. Despite some limitations of this method, it is the most optimal strategy for the needs of Boeing. This technique can be adopted by other technological enterprises. These are the main questions that should be examined more closely. Overall, it is possible to argue that Boeing has the so-called matrix organization structure. This approach means that the management groups employees according to the needs of a particular project that should be completed. For instance, a team may incorporate people who have skills in design, engineering or marketing. They represent different departments (Kates & Galbraith, 2010, p. 110). Moreover, a certain employee can be accountable to several managers at the same time, if he/she works on several projects (Kates, & Galbraith, 2010, p. 110). This particular approach diminishes the role of different departments because employees can often move from one division to another (Kates, & Galbraith, 2010, p. 110). To some degree, this approach can be compared to flat organizational structure. It should be noted in both cases, the rigid bureaucratic hierarchy is reduced to the minimum. In this way, businesses can achieve greater flexibility. This is one of the main advantages that can be attained in this way. In turn, this method can be contrasted with divisional structure. The divisional approach means that a company is divided into several production units that are usually relatively independent of one another. In turn, the management of Boeing lays stress on the cooperation between different departments. So, this corporation can be distinguished among many other businesses due to its approach to organizational design. It is necessary to keep in mind that the management of Boeing usually relies on the matrix approach at the time when the company has to resolve a certain urgent problem. One can argue that the operations of the company can be viewed as the main force that determines the organizational structure of this company. It should be noted that the company works on the production and design of different aircraft models at the same time. Therefore, the skills of an employee can be needed for the implementation of various tasks (Galbraith, 2008, p. 9). For instance, an aircraft designer can take part in different projects such as the designing or testing of new models. This is one of the details that should be considered because it is important for understanding the functioning of Boeing. It is possible to argue
Pain is a complex experience that affects individuals’ physical and emotional spheres at different levels. Each person has experienced pain at some point in their lives, with some people suffering more than others from the same experience. According to Tabriz et al. (2019), people cope with pain differently depending on their beliefs and perceptions. In many c
