Introduction The success of any gym depends on the number of members visiting it; the more members a gym has, the more revenue it is likely to generate. This, in return, is determined by how easily people can locate and access the gym. In fact, most people search for gyms which are conveniently located to their workplaces or homes, a clear indication that gyms are located within the same surrounding depends on the same clients. For this reason, gyms that are located within the same locality have to compete for clients, an indication that the biggest challenge facing most gyms is getting enough clients to enroll as gym members. The internet is a marketing tool that offers the best platform for capturing and retaining prospective clients searching the internet for a gym that is conveniently and closely located. Therefore, designing a gym website will enable a gym to acquire new clients and grow into a profitable business. Why and how people will visit the gym site People will visit the gym site for several reasons. Among them is getting reliable information on various services or gym-related products offered, and checking out whether the trainers present in the gym can meet clients’ expectations. In addition, search engine optimizers (SEOs) can be used to enhance the visibility of the website on the internet, thus prompting more people to visit the website. Besides, most gym websites never offer a complete view of the gym facilities and, therefore, to attract more people to the website, the gym’s photos and videos should be posted on the website in order to provide a complete view of the gym’s facilities. Good things do not go unnoticed, and thus, the reliable information present on the website will prompt people visiting the website to share the website’s information with other people. This will act as a referral mechanism that will ensure that more people will visit the website. Moreover, newsletters with the website’s address will be sent to the existing members through e-mail. This will be a perfect way to get more referrals as loyal customers (existing members) who are likely to ‘spread the word’ by forwarding the newsletters to people they know. As a result, more people will opt to visit the gym’s website. How to make money from the site Money will mainly be generated from the increased gym’s membership. What will happen is that all the information present on the website (offered, gym-related products and trainers qualification) will be structured in an informative and appealing way that will encourage potential clients to apply for membership. This will increase the number of gym’s members, thus translating into more money. Besides increasing the number members, the website will advertise gym-related products offered, such as nutrition supplements and workout videos (Yoga, aerobics, strength building and body building among others). This will increase sales derived from gym-related products thus bringing in more money. How people will use computers on the site People will use their computers to navigate t
Introduction GATS is the international multilateral trade agreement proposed in 1994 that sets the rules for global trade in services ( WFPHA, 2003 ). Aiming to privatize and deregulate vital services, this agreement gives the legal framework through which WTO members will approach the progressive liberalization of trade in services, including health-related services. GATS is expected to have a significant influence on international trade particularly in the health care sector and is also believed to create opportunities, especially for developing countries. This chapter discusses the influence of the GATS on international trade in health services. Trade Liberalization & the GATS In the Uruguay Round Negotiations, many countries initially were not interested to include trade in services, as it is different from the trade in goods or commodities. Services trade may call for the exercise of the right of establishment, which would have implications for development strategy, resource mobilization, social objective, etc. ( VanderWerf, 2004 ). The main objective of GATS was to ensure that priority is given to developmental issues and that national regulations remain supreme. In effect, the Agreement allows Member Countries to select their service sectors for opening to international competition in the light of their national development strategy ( Fidler et al., 2005 ). GATS identifies four main modes of international trade in services as shown in Figure-4.1. (Source: Wibulpolprasert & et al., 2004) Fig-4.1: Four Main Modes of International Services Trade:   * Mode 1: Cross-border supply (CB): This includes telemedicine, teleconferencing, teleconsultation, Tele-education, and subscription to journals and databases on the Internet. This CB has been greatly facilitated through the rapid expansion of e-commerce ( Wibulpolprasert & et al., 2000 ).   * Mode 2: Consumption abroad (CA): This includes traveling abroad, including via health tours, to seek high-technology treatments or cheaper health services.   * Mode 3: Commercial presence (CP): This includes foreign investment in hospital operation, medical and dental services, and management of health care.   * Mode 4: Temporary movement of natural persons (NP): This includes temporary emigration of doctors from developing to develo
Brief history Barclays bank was founded in 1690 in the city of London, which has remained its headquarters to date (Berclays Bank PLC, 2011). From a meager start, the company has gradually but steadily grown to become a key player in the banking industry. Through its parent company and a host of other subsidiary companies, the firm has diversified its services to investment and corporate banking, retail banking, credit cards, and wealth management. Currently, the bank’s reputation is universally acclaimed, with a customer base of forty eight million customers in fifty countries. According to Dr., James, the local branch Human Resource Manager, the journey to the top has been long fought, but staying on top against the prevailing market competition is the company’s primary objective (S. James, personal communication, April 7, 2012). Strategic plans As an international firm, Barclays Bank faces stiff competition on the international platform. Most of its competitors are firms well endowed with financial might such as HSBC, Standard Chartered, Royal Bank of Scotland Group, and Lloyd Banking group. Remaining profitable in such a market is a formidable challenge that requires excellent strategic measures. This far, the bank has been able to grow its customer base, thereby increasing its profitability through offering relatively lower interest rates on loans, and more personalized customer experience. However, as globalization gains momentum, the already fierce competition is expected to intensify. As a result, the company intends to adopt many strategic options to gain a competitive edge.  1. Exploit the Middle East market  2. Launch massive marketing campaigns across the globe  3. Reduce social responsibility programmes, which already consume a lot of money  4. Seek funding through issuing of shares but not debts  5. Pursue mergers and acquisitions Dr. James’ Roles as Human Resource Manager As the branch human resource manager, Dr. James is responsible for many tasks relating to human capital. First, he is responsible for recruitment, selection, and placement of personnel. In liaison with the operations manager, they identify areas of shortage; establish the required qualifications for the position before organizing for interviews.

Nadella was born in Hyderabad, India, which happens to be the location of Microsoft’s headquarters. His parents’ values and the environment in which he was raised have shaped much of what he believes and do today. Nadella had a strong sense of direction as an IAS officer and a Sanskrit lecturer from his father. His mom insisted on the importance of keeping one’s professional and personal goals in check. As a result of his captain’s decision to coach him rather than replace him, he received his first introduction to leadership lessons. He has shown how important it is not to jump to conclusions when dealing with others throughout his life.

The company is involved in many social responsibilities like cancer awareness. By enhancing inclusivity and sustainability in the company’s practices, Nadella depicts a high sense of ethical sense and responsibility. In his progressive leadership, he urges the employees to build systems, and especially AI-trained components, in the most ethical way possible. Nadella previously worked for Sun Microsystems, a provider of computer hardware, software, and IT services. It was inevitable that Nadella’s career path would change as he grew as a person. Nadella was Microsoft’s third CEO when he took the helm on February 4, 2014. A new emphasis on empathy, a growth mindset, and teamwork has been instilled in the company under his leadership.” In the six years since he became CEO, Microsoft’s market capitalization has grown by a factor of six. Satya Nadella’s business acumen has shown that empathy, kindness, and humility are just as important as business acumen in the workplace. His mother frequently inquired about how happy he was at work (Jones & George, 2022). He realized that happiness comes from more than money and material possessions, and he developed emotional intelligence as a result. Life-altering events occurred for the family when his son Zain was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and paralys

In addition, specific benefits are bound to accrue for those who employ or contract such apprentice with specialized skills. It is worthy noting that four years of training in college coupled with five years of electrical theory causes profound effect on the skills acquired by the apprentice. This system of training places the trainee in the hands of specialized, skilled and expert supervisors from whom the apprentice learns a wide body of knowledge on precise practical and theoretical skills. Professional Growth Another benefit derived from a number of years of theoretical and practical training is professional growth and career development. This skills place an apprentice in the path to exposures to available opportunities for professional growth. Professional growth incorporates functional skills gained through case study approaches where the apprentice learns and makes critical decisions using the acquired skills. In addition to acquiring specific skills with a planned and systematic approach to problem solving techniques, the apprentice competently acquires skills in problem observation, decision making, and appropriate action plans (Landale 4).

In the movie entitled The Day the Earth Stood Still the protagonist said that people change when faced with a life and death situation. There is truth to this statement because human beings will do everything to survive. In the face of danger the normal reaction is to flee or fight the source of threat. Everything must be done for the sake of safety and security. The change in demeanor and even change in character is evident in many cases. One good example of a character that manifested change in the face of danger is the character that can be found in Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery . The person who manifested change in demeanor and character was Mrs. Hutchinson. In the early part of the story, Mrs. Hutchinson was seen as friendly and carefree. She was a person that was not easily bothered by the things that were going on around her. In fact, she forgot about the lottery. It was the most important event in the calendar because it meant the death of a member of the community. Furthermore, there is a degree of randomness in the process and therefore anyone can lose his or her life that day. But Mrs. Hutchinson completely forgot about the event, testifying to her carefree nature. Aside from her carefree ways, Mrs. Hutchinson also projected friendliness. She was friendly to every person that she met along the way as she inched closer to her husband and to the platform where the proceedings were conducted. She knew everyone on a first-name basis and she was kind with her words. The people who knew her reciprocated the same feeling of respect and admiration. But when her name was chosen as the year’s victim and sacrifice, her character changed drastically. When the arbiter called the name of Mrs. Hutchinson, the woman suddenly became combative. Her anger manifested through her words and she said things contrary to her character and standing in the community. She barked at the presiding officer Mr. Summers and said that he was not fair to her and her family. She said that Mr. Summers did not allow her son to choose the paper that he wanted to draw out from the lottery. In effect, she accused Mr. Summer of fraud. It was important for the author to develop the character of Mrs. Hutchinson and gave her that particular identity. Her character was infused with kindness and generosity. These are traits that enabled Hutchinson’s character to stand out of the crowd. It contrasted her from the anxiety-ridden members of the community. More importantly it created an atmosphere of ir
Executive Summary The Carlsberg Group is an international Denmark-based conglomerate of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The selected product is its Baltika beer brand which the company feels could potentially perform well in its weakest Eastern European market as the region has an affinity for casual consumption of beer without having its own dedicated production. The selected primary target market is Russia. Its key characteristics include heavy regulation as well as intense competition from local vendors. However, the alcoholic beer market in Russia has tremendous potential, and in order to achieve success, Baltika needs to appeal to the local consumer by its fresh approach to beer and innovative marketing through cultural association. The marketing mix strategy is to utilize traditional media which is popular in Russia in combination with the growing utilization of digital, social, and direct-to-consumer marketing concepts. Following regulations and appealing to the cultural demands of drinking beer during sporting or social events can provide Baltika with an opportunity to be successful in the Russian market. Introduction The Carlsberg Group is a worldwide brewer with Danish headquarters and various brands spread across different countries, from Elephant Beer in India to Svyturys in Lithuania. As such, Carlsberg occupies a considerable portion of both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks sales in Europe, Asia, and America (“Baltika breweries,” n.d.). Of these three, the Eastern European foreign market is one of Carlsberg’s most compelling sections, considering the macroeconomic problems sustained by it since 2007 (Carlsberg Breweries Group, 2019). The Carlsberg Breweries Group (2018a) states in their annual report that “on volumes China and Russia are of equal size,” which actualises finding a solution for the continuous impairment of its brands in this region (p. 9). Thus, analysing the success of Denmark-based Carlsberg Group Baltika beer within the Russian market may allow making some suggestions regarding its most appropriate international marketing mix strategy. Product Policy Decisions The market’s demands may be one of the more essential actors of change when it comes to product policy. Throughout its growth years, the Carlsberg Group has shown a tendency of both product extension and adaptation, to varying degrees of success (“Baltika breweries,” n.d.). As such, these two product strategies were chosen for research and evaluation to produce an adequate overview of the Carlsberg Group’s tactics. Product Extension – Communication Adaptation Product extension could be a viable strategy with any given company that maintains ambitions for growth. For beer, the most logical expansion would be non-alcoholic production, and the one of Carlsberg holds a particular point of interest in Russia due to an existing shift in attitudes regarding alcohol (Carlsberg Breweries Group, 2018a; Mooij, 2019). The benefits of extension include s
The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural movement in the United States during 1920 and 1930. It was named so because this movement began in one of the New York districts –Harlem, where African- Americans dominated. The cultural movement had significantly impacted different areas of American culture: literature, music, theater, and art. It was at this time when Afro-American culture flourished and presented truly talented and outstanding writers, poets, musicians, and artists to the world arena. Writers such as Langston Hughes and Claude Mckay wrote powerful verses to encourage African- Americans to fight for their rights. Jean Toomer wrote great plays and stories of that time and more. Taking its roots from African culture, jazz brought new and fresh bewitching sounds and rhythms and had influenced both music and culture in America (“The Harlem Renaissance,” n.d., para.4-5). Among many other talented people of this movement, Louis Armstrong seems to have the most lasting influence because today, he is still considered to be one of the greatest jazz artists for the unique voice and his contribution to the music industry. The Harlem Renaissance played an important role in politics as well as in the cultural representation of African-Americans. According to Wall (2016): “It was a time when black people redefined themselves …. They responded to its [modern world] opportunities and its challenges: urbanization, technology, and the disruption of traditional social arrangements and values” (p. 3). The movement also helped to pave the way for the further struggle of the African-American population for their rights because now they emerged as educated and talented people. Thus, the movement contributed to the extinction of racial discrimination towards African- Americans later in American history.
