Marketing Science Institute recurrently shows us that the world turns into an interconnected digital environment where the most attention is paid to developing the ability to appeal to consumers with the help of information technologies and other computerized benefits. The statistics show that more than half of customers tend to search for online reviews and only make their decision when they have gotten acquainted with at least two or three opinions regarding a product or a service. In the webinar, the idea of content analysis is discussed in rich detail, as the authors are willing to showcase the link between online tools and the possibility to predict consumer behavior at least eight times out of ten. The speaker treats the current digitalization of marketing initiatives as an important step that many companies have to make to improve their industry presence. The process of data study should be revisited in rich detail if the marketing team is willing to achieve the optimal results and build a strategy that is not going to overstate the importance of intraorganizational assessments. This webinar provides the audience with lots of rather useful information because it focuses on the ways of building a company’s content strategy and creating the perfect-case scenarios for consumers who prefer personalized goods and services (Marketing Science Institute). Every iteration of online activities completed by customers has to be analyzed by retailers and service providers because otherwise, digitalization would not remain as useful for the team as it is right now. Multiple tools and platforms have to be implemented and revisited to support marketing activities and improve the validity of data obtained with the help of digital analytics. Knowing that the impact of analytics in digital marketing cannot be either ignored or applied inconsiderately, it may be safe to say that the best way to incorporate content analytics into business would be to give up on the old-fashioned marketing approaches and rely more on their digital counterparts. Creative decision-making should become the basis for future marketing strategy, creating more room for automated data analytics. This structural change would allow the business to generate more income based on real trends and not some uninformed predictions made with no regard to prior experiences. The idea is that digitalized content analysis is something that humans cannot do as efficiently as machines, so it may be recommended to invest in the purchase of all required IT tools first. The importance of content analysis should not be overlooked due to the high level of impact it has on the ability of the management to communicate goals and objectives. With digital instruments, it becomes much easier to demonstrate the actual effects of decisions on the organization. The further application of content analysis practices should be followed by the management establishing valuable partnerships with the audience members (end users). This is necessary to ens
Confucianism is an ethical, philosophical, and political ideology that is common in Asian communities. It is based on the teachings of Confucius who is rated among the greatest Chinese philosophers. After its founding, the system was embraced as an ethical and political system to govern people’s lives. However, as it spread to other regions, it turned into a moral, metaphysical, and cosmological system of beliefs and teachings. In certain societies, Confucianism is embraced as a religion and a way of life. The system was first adopted by the Han dynasty after the collapse of the Qin dynasty. Confucius did not intend to start a movement through his teachings and philosophy. However, the system was developed in his honor because of the great impact he had on people’s lives and the political system of China. The Chinese develop the majority of their beliefs, traditions, morals, and ethical codes on Confucianism. Confucius’ impact in the fields of philosophy and politics is one of the major reasons why his teachings were adopted into an ethical and philosophical system. Confucianism has several beliefs and principles that form its fabric as a moral, religious, political, and philosophical system. The central doctrines include relationships, ethics, the rectification of names, gods, and tian. Confucianism promotes the concept of ethics through its five core values that include Ren (humanness), Hsin (sincerity and fidelity), Chih (wisdom), Li (correct behavior and propriety), and Yi (honesty and righteousness). Ren includes values such as sympathy, politeness, and kindness. These ideals are expressed through one’s language and actions. According to Confucius, everyone should be humane, merciful, and loving. Li involves the practice of good mannerisms when dealing with different people. It is important for individuals to act appropriately and speak respectfully. Zhi is a value that requires individuals to embrace wisdom and knowledge for proper living. It endows people with values such as honesty and sincerity. Rectification of names refers to the proper use of language in order to create and maintain order in society. Things and people should be referred to according to their proper names in order to create harmony in communication. Confucianism emphasizes the importance of relationships. Confucius taught that the most important relationships in society are those between married people, parents and children, rules and their subjects, friends, and brothers. Each individual has a special role to play depending on the type of relationship involved. A core tenet of Confucianism is filial piety, which is expressed through rituals such as ancestor worship and veneration. In addition, it is expressed through respect for parents and superiors. Children are required to honor their parents because of the sacrifices they make to take care of them. On the other hand, parents are required to love and respect their children. Filial piety is also expressed through the worship of ancestors in shrines and graveyards. Ancestor worship is a sign of respect for parents after they die. Confucianism has several teac
Introduction Thinking process is a vital element in driving performance in institutions especially in the current environment where change is paramount. The process is driven by diverse factors that hold legal, social, economic and technological implications. These elements influence individuals thinking process and contribute in the formulation of credible course of action. Indeed, individuals thinking process enable them to identify basic elements in life and potential virtues that hold pertinence in their development. It also contributes in decision making on various issues that appertain to business operations and political issues. Ideally, thinking process leads to change on policy issues, life ideals and legal provisions. However, not all factors that drive thought process contributes directly to change initiatives. This paper explores technological advancement as an element that facilitates though process rather than change in institutions Response to the Question Indeed, technological advancements enhance individuals thinking capacity. This initiates and facilitates change but does not accomplish change initiatives. It lacks legal authority that drives real change in comparison to constitutional provisions that remain in force for a long period. As noted, it remains an intellectual incentive that provides neutral support that influence thinking capacities of persons (Marcuse 1). It is agreeable that technology enables individuals to identify the kind of change that is appropriate and the achievement process. However, technological advances lack the legal authority of accomplishing change processes. This explains the reason why it is paramount for an individual to consider technology as an element that facilitate thinking, but not directly engaged in change processes. Change Process in Consideration to Technological Advancement and Political Authority Marcuse (2) noted that, the thought process in human beings is a vital aspect that defines their course of action. It provides pertinent incentives that facilitate change in diverse facets of operations. This explains why execution of the process should be under absolute diligence and accuracy. Imperatively, change in any setting, for example, government or private sectors must be preceded with quality thinking. This is vital to facilitate individual’s capacity of acquiring essential knowledge on key issues or reasons that prompt the need for change (Postman 2). It also equips individuals with innovative skills that hold the capacity to allow the execution of the change process in a systematic manner. Indeed, thinking process that is driven through technology, polit
Introduction Businesses require constant information to be processed and disseminated to the relevant stakeholders on time. To achieve this, they need Management Information systems. A Management Information System is a set of connected apparatus, mostly computerized combinations that continuously acquire raw and needed data from within and outside a particular firm. Consequently, the data is processed and stored in a central place called database, where it is always updated and availed to those with authority to access it (Business Dictionary.com). There are several applications that are described in the case study. In a community medical center known as Doylestown, an application, Meditech, is in place. In the same medical center, another application, titled Epocrates Essentials is described. Another application, which is ChainLinq Mobile application, is described as used in D.W. Morgan, being a supply chain, transportation and logistics service provider. Lastly, the iPhone camera is described in regards to a firm known as Aedas Sport. Business Functions Supported Meditech conveys data on crucial signs, drugs, lab results, aversions, notes by nurses, results from remedial treatment, as well as patient food straight to the doctors’ phone. Epocrates Essentials, an aesculapian reference tool is used to help doctors to decode laboratory outcomes and procure medical data. ChainLinq assists in updating of shipment information, collection of signatures, as well as provision of global positioning system locations to each individual box delivered. It has afforded Morgan the ability to present an attestation of delivery promptly. The iPhone camera has been used by designers and architects to take pictures of designs, models, and construction sites which are in turn sent to prospective clients to Aedas Sport. How do they Improve Operational Efficiency and Decision Making? Meditech application enables doctors to be on call wherever they may be through sending them sensitive alerts through their emails from their work stations. This allows the doctors to make decisions quickly and long before they even get to the hospital. ChainLinq application has reduced the time needed to provide proof of delivery from half a day to immediate. The iPhone camera has enabled Aedas Sports to productivity jump to 400 percent. In addition, iPhone has facilitated the building of a large chronicle of observable assets almost effortlessly. Problems Solved. First and foremost, the problem of mobility was solved for doctors in Doylestown meaning that doctors can still communicate even while not in the vicinity of the hospital. Thanks to ChainLinq, Morgan does not have to make numerous phone calls so as to track and proof deliveries. The customers as well are in a position to be aware of the status of their deliveries by logging in to the company’s website which is updated by the servers throughout. Businesses most likely to Benefit Among other businesses, the following will likely benefit. The Health sector will benefit when their employees are equipped with mobile digital devices. This will assist them
Introduction Purchase and Sales management represents one of the considerable sources of competitive advantage amongst companies within the global market. Stiff competition amongst industries characterizes the current market environment and such considerable event could be traced back to improvement in technology and rise in the sources of demand and supply. Capital existence in many organizations and individual creative business designs all contributes towards the distinctive nature of purchase and sales chain management. There is always significant power shift downstream within the management chain, whereby the focus is on the consumers of products and services. This makes it necessary for companies to consider active and passive role their products play towards consumers, whereby every process is undertaken with satisfaction of consumers as the prime objective (Zhao et al, 2007, pp 40-80). Purchase Management Purchase management refers to the process of directing the flow of goods and services within a company set-up. The process involves handling of data relating to supplier contact. Knowledge on specific areas is required for the purposes of effective handling of the whole chain, such knowledge include; supply chain, inventory procedures, business and tax laws, logistics within transportation as well as business and laws on taxes. Purchasing officer is required to have adequate knowledge on the products and services, planning, execution of the whole process, identifying purchasing strategies capable of profiting the company (Godsell et al). One of the crucial stages in purchase management is sourcing and identifying reliable suppliers. Such ideas and knowledge could well be learnt from the internet and various occasions such as trade shows and conferences. Dealing with potential customers within the international market requires the knowledge of foreign languages. However, potential suppliers can always be assessed in-terms of their ability to deliver quality merchandise at affordable prices and within scheduled time. Purchasing management requires professionals having good negotiating abilities, those who understand well technical product information, have excellent mathematical abilities, knowledge on spreadsheet, marketing and capable of making superb decisions. The responsibilities associated with purchase management always require excellent leadership skills. There is need for the buyers to have abilities enabling them to select quality products that will attract consumers. Such activity requires understanding on economic conditions affecting consumer-buyer decis
Introduction Globalization and changes in food culture have influenced many countries in the world, with Japan being one of them (Traphagan and Brown 119). For many years, Japanese society has preserved its traditional cuisine; however, the entry of McDonalds and other fast food restaurants have not only influenced the eating culture of Japanese, but also placed Japan in the global market. Moreover, Japan has been successful in maintaining its culture, but pressure from globalization is influencing it to make some compromises if it needs to be competitive in global market. The fish industry, mainly the sushi and tuna, have been a Japanese culture until it gained the attention of other people around the world. The consumption of Sushi in America has especially increased and influenced the American culture in one way or the other (Ceccarini 6). Food is one of the basic needs and different cultures have their different cuisines, but with globalization, different countries have an opportunity to share their food cultures with others in a global market. This is what Japan has done by marketing its fish and making it a delicacy for many other countries. However, the vigor in which fast foods penetrate in the market has not only affected the eating culture of Japanese and other global societies, but also contributed to a slow death of traditional foods. Research Questions The interaction between different countries through food products is a step forward, but how can this be sustained in order to be successful in a wider group of countries apart from Japan and the other developed countries? Can t
Proponents of the death penalty, which includes the majority of Americans, believe it to be neither cruel nor unusual, on the contrary, they think it just and fair. The ‘eye for an eye’ group not only accepts but vocally insists that the death penalty be continued. I believe the use of the death penalty to be the most obvious and heinous example of cruel and unusual punishment. A government should not be vested with the power to put any of its citizens to death. In addition, the practice is racially biased, overtly costly and does not achieve the intended outcome. Death penalty proponents make reasonable arguments to support their position, one being that the punishment that is not unjust. The deliberate act taking of an innocent life is unjust. Further, a society should not condone allowing murderers to keep their lives after imposing the death sentence themselves on another and by that act, also sentencing the victim’s family to a life-sentence of anguish. If someone steals a car, for example, and was allowed to keep and drive it around town without fear of retribution, no one would think that fair. It is it neither fair to allow anyone that steals a life to keep their own. By allowing people who have been convicted of acting as a self-appointed executioner to keep their own life devalues human life on the whole. Protestant and Catholic philosophy have consistently confirmed the right of a fair government to end the life of convicted murderers. Those that use the Old Testament to justify the use of the death penalty as moral either overlooked or ignored the passage in the New Testament where Jesus rebuffs this statement explicitly then reminds his followers to instead ‘turn the other cheek.’ Christians who live in Europe tend to oppose capital punishment but those in America, tend to support it. Capital punishment does not deter crime which statistics have proven, a fact not disputed by proponents. The death penalty serves only to quench society’s thirst for revenge. Acting upon the emotion of revenge is wrong and ultimately more destructive to the value system and very fabric of society than the crime itself. Capital punishment is ethically and morally objectionable in today’s society. Every life should be valued and imprisoning a person for life without the possibility for parole is adequate punishment. Although the U.S. court system is at least among the most equitable in the world, no system of justice can expect to provide perfect results 100 percent of the time. Mistakes are inherent within all systems that rely on the human element for proof and judgment. Rather than a hundred guilty be set free then one innocent person is punished. That is the standard a civilized society should set. If offenses that caused ‘no harm to others’ were decriminalized, such as gambling, prostitution, and dru
Lifespan development Development is progressive physical, mental/cognitive, social, and emotional growth. Traditionally, development was thought to occur only in childhood. However, changes occur throughout life. This paper will discuss lifespan development perspective, theories of lifespan development, and the interaction between heredity and environment. The lifespan perspective of development states that human development begins shortly after conception and continues throughout life (Boyd & Bee, 2009). The development manifests through physical and cognitive changes. Lifespan development looks at all changes that occur in an individual’s lifetime. Previously, only changes that occur in childhood were emphasized. This view tended to omit social and cognitive changes that occur throughout life. Culture and the context in which the changes occur must be considered when analyzing the changes. Plasticity is a term that is used to describe changes that occur throughout life. People of all ages experience their surroundings and adjust their behaviors accordingly (Boyd & Bee, 2009). People can learn from the environment regardless of age. Therefore, learning is not restricted to childhood only. This implies that growth continues throughout life. Changes occur in several contexts. In turn, groups that an individual belongs to modulate context. Friendship, work, family, culture, and place are some of the settings in which change may occur (Boyd & Bee, 2009). These settings form an important part of lifespan development. Change does not usually occur outside these contexts. The settings act as both the triggers and modulators of development. Development occurs in periods and domains. The periods of development include prenatal, infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood. All humans go through all these stages in their lifetime. Domains group all changes into physical, mental, and social domains. Physical domain describes all the physical changes occurring in an individual. The mental domain is concerned with cognitive development. Social domain covers all social changes an individual experiences. Attachment Theory/ Bowlby’s attachment Theory The attachment theory states that human infants need an adult with whom they feel secure. Attachment provides the infant with emotional, physical, and psychological security. Attachment is an instinct that develops to ensure the safety of the infant. Body contact and familiarity strengthen attachment. Various types of attachment exist; secure, anxious-avoidant, and anxious-resistant. Secure attachment is a desirable form of attachment. It is founded on trust. Anxious-avoidant and anxious-resistant forms of attachment are characterized by detachment. Healthy emotional and psychol
Introduction For an extended period of time including 20th-century women of Eastern Asia played the background and supporting role for men. All the social and political requirements were aimed to show men in the perfect light as well as to make them happy. So should the major aspects of woman beauty perception in Eastern Asia be understood as suppression of feminism? The current analysis is based on the article Harisu: South Korean Cosmetic Media and the Paradox of Transgendered Neoliberal Embodiment by Patty Jeehyun Ahn and the book Red Lights by Tiantian Zheng. Both sources apply to the perception of a woman, and the role played by a woman in Eastern society, providing a certain amount of historical and social background. Gender differences analysis However, the understanding and interpretation of similar aspects differ significantly. Both authors agree on the supportive and humiliating role of women in Eastern society until the end of the 21st-century (Zheng 6, Ahn 255) and
