Abstract The purpose of this business report is to analyze and evaluate Jetstar’s marketing strategy by using several technical business models. The analysis and evaluation should explain how the business has achieved its phenomenal growth and outline whether the current strategies used are appropriate to help the organization continue with its future strategy. It’s essential to understand the current intentional position of the company before appropriate strategies can be recommended and implemented. Thus, a professional investigation should reveal the following; the internal environment (strengths and weakness) and the external environment (threats, opportunities, and external forces such as political and economic). Through understanding this breakdown, the current strategic position and management can be explained and understood thoroughly. Company Profile Jetstar is an airway company that is based in Australia. It is one of the low-cost companies with its headquarters in Melbourne, Victoria. Jetstar is an auxiliary of Qantas which was created to respond to the threats of competition from other low-cost airways. It operates in the domestic and international market and uses a variety of wide-bodied aircraft. The Jetstar was established in 2003 as a low-cost subsidiary company to meet domestic needs and help Qantas maintain its market share in the local market. It started operating in the domestic market in 2004 and launched its international operations in December 2005. Jetstar provides reserved seating where customers are allowed to book their seats in advance, a service that was launched in 2006 as the first service of its kind in Australia. It also provides online booking for customers who may not make to their offices due to various reasons 1 . Jetstar international markets include New Zealand, and Europe among others, and it is in the process of establishing other routes in Rome, Hamilton, Brussels, and Palmerstone North. It is also in the process of extending its low-cost services into the European market. Jetstar has over fifty aircraft that operates in both the domestic and international market.

Home is a central concept in the life of each person. Accordingly, most authors include detailed descriptions of the places in which important characters reside in their works. In Araby, James Joyce writes about North Richmond Street at length, whereas Andrei Platonov devotes much attention to Lobskaya Hill in the middle of a forest. While these descriptions serve as backgrounds for the stories’ plots, they remain important elements of the writing. Home and neighborhood descriptions serve as mirrors, reflecting the characters’ souls and the nature of the story’s atmosphere. This essay aims to analyze and compare such descriptions in Araby and Among Plants and Animals . Araby by James Joyce The short story Araby written by James Joyce tells the story of a young boy living in Dublin. The plot revolves around the protagonist’s obsession with his neighbor’s sister. The image of pure first love threads throughout the story, as the boy, spends much time thinking about the girl. Simultaneously, the protagonist is too afraid to talk to her until the point when she asked him whether he was going to Araby, an oriental bazaar in Dublin (Joyce 27). The girl says that she will be unable to join him, as her convent had a retreat that week. The protagonist promises to bring her a gift from the bazaar and eventually goes there alone. Once he arrives at Araby, the boy searches for a present, which would please his beloved neighbor, but he interrupts himself once he meets a couple speaking with a London accent. Following the encounter, the protagonist abandons the id
After analyzing the causes of the slamming door problem, I can see that they can be divided into two groups: technical and psychological. Thus, in order to effectively solve the problem, people in the neighborhood should consider the nature of the reasons causing the noise and apply different measures in combination. It is difficult to solve the problem from only one side because the above-mentioned groups of factors are tightly connected. For example, if people are asked not to slam, they might want to stop it, but their faulty lock can prevent this. That is why it is necessary to eliminate technical problems before dealing with the social part. Among the technical solutions, an automatic door closer is the best one, as it allows to fully close the door without slamming and increases fire safety. These mechanisms “keep pace with changing regulations and consumer demands” (“The Worldwide Door Closer” para. 4). As for the social solutions, there can be such measures as kindly asking the neighbors not to slam their doors or putting special signs around the neighborhood. There can also be a stricter measure, such as imposing a fine on the people who do not replace their locks in order to reduce the level of noise. Thus, as it was already mentioned, the application of only one type of measures can be not very effective. If people are simply asked not to slam the door without any penalty for slamming, they might ignore the request. If there is a penalty for slamming, but there is no technical opportunity to reduce the noise, people would not be able to follow the requirements. Thus, the best solution is to combine mandatory pneumatic door closer installation with a penalty for not installing it.

Procter and Gamble is a multinational company that was started in the mid-1800s in Cincinnati by two brothers. One of them was a candle maker, and the other was a soap maker. The founders’ idea of the business was born when they were given an opportunity to supply soap to the army. The company grew from a small plant to a successful business empire; however, in order to sustain its profitability and retain employees, the two owners began a profit-sharing program whereby they sold part of their shares to their employees. Expansion of the company started in 1947 when it began to increase its brand presence in major markets through product differentiation. Generally, the purpose of P&G is to provide high-quality products that contribute to the value-addition and sustainable satisfaction of all consumers, with special attention to their health. The mission of the company is the improvement of life by producing food that mainly helps people improve their health, thus providing value and quality. The success of P&G can be attributed to its corporate structure, which consists of an organizational structure and branding structure. The organization uses its brand against its competitors. Its strong brand has not only helped P&G to establish an identity in the marketplace, but has also made it one of the leading producers of goods (Dyer, Dalzell, & ‎Olegario, 2009). P&G embraces an organizational structure associated with hierarchy, lines of communication and reporting responsibilities; this type of structure is in regards to centralization and decentralization in terms of geography In P&G, the staffing policy is ethnocentric; this means that people of the parent country fill all key positions in the company. In 2011, the company structure was divided into business segments, varying from beauty products to home care. P&G also uses the strategy of employing fresh graduates from college (Kandola, 2001). The company places the recruited persons and gives them responsibilities in their respective regions or countries in order to allow them to assimilate into the company. As a choice, the company will offer growth in terms of its expansive products. The fact that it has business segments under its global units provides a range of products for brand expansion. In my career line, P&G provides an opportunity to enhance knowledge in production due to its commitment to capacity building. Another part is the extensive training programs offered during employment in order to enhance career growth and development; this involves both on-the-job and off-the-job training programs (Cherunilam, 2009). In regards to career enhancement, the fact of being employed by P&G Company will provide a better understanding of different international laws in regards to labour. The learning environment will extensively add to my knowledge in relation to diversity based on culture (Stormei, 2001). Moreover, it will provide a chance to learn more about different leadership cultures or styles est
Evolutionary relations between species are the major concept that has a considerable influence on the organization of species (Cameron 5). Hominids are the members of human family that consists of numerous human ancestors and living apes. More than 20 million years ago, the process of splitting took place; and people, who deal with the analyses of human fossil records, also known as paleoanthropologists, introduce Ramapithecus as hominids, the species with the characteristics of both humans and orangutans. In this paper, we will analyze the peculiar features of hominids, its types, and evolutions from the paleoanthropological perspective. Hominids are the representatives of the biological family, who have been around our planet for about 7 million years, and orangutans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and humans are considered to be its members; these species have different qualities, which are inherent to humans like upright position and to apes like the climbing ability, and which proves that in spite of numerous differences humans are so alike with the apes, their demands, and abilities. Discussion Essence of the term. The term hominid is usually used to “describe the great apes, humans and their immediate ancestors only; i.e. it excluded gibbons and their immediate ancestors” (Cameron 5). Not long time ago, this term characterized only humans and their immediate ancestors; however, the investigations of paleoanthropologists proved that humans were not the only one members of this family. In fact, this terminology seems to be a bit confusing, and unfortunately, it is true, because proper classification of hominids cannot be completely accepted in this field (Jurmain, Kilgore, and Trevathan 163). Hominidae family already has a certain place in the scientific classification table, but the place of its members is still under a question. However, such genera like gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, and humans have already occupied their places in this family, and their qualities and abilities prove that they are appropriate for this family. Biological family. The scientists admit that hominids and humans in particular should be considered as the smartest biological family in this world, because they are able to use technology to improve their existence or invent things to facilitate life and job. Another peculiarity of this family is the preference to live in groups: five or more hominids organize a separate group, where a male takes leading position and becomes responsible for the safety of the other members of the group, and a female has to care about future generation and to give birth to the other representatives of this family. If we look closer to hominids’ habits and demands, it becomes clear that our habits are usually the same. Types of hominids. The fossil record demonstrates how slowly but confidently the evolution and extension of hominids took place: Hominoids         Years (ml)    Dryopiths         31-10         Australopithecis  4-2           Homo Erectus      1.6-0.3       Neanderthalensis  0.075 – 0.035 Homo Sapience     0.035-present  As it has been already mentioned, there are four possible representatives of the
The purpose of creating a joint venture between Jarir Bookstore and Mobily Telecommunications is to produce a new mobile device. Jarir Bookstore is the largest retailer of electronics and books in Saudi Arabia. In turn, Mobily is a telecommunication services company, offering the Internet and mobile telephony. In cooperation, these companies can produce a new device for reading books, making calls, and having access to the Internet. The device will have a touchscreen interface, an integrated camera for calls, and a range of reading options. It will use a mobile operating system to install the applications from both companies. This device will look like a mobile computer with a focus on providing customers with convenient reading opportunities. Compared to smartphones and e-book readers, the proposed device will integrate the access to the Internet and electronic books. Today, a mobile phone is central for many people, who use it daily, but reading from the screen is not always comfortable. Customers need an integrated solution to their routine tasks. Therefore, the cooperation of Jarir Bookstore and Mobily seems to be especially effective in meeting their needs and exceed expectations. Among the distinguishing features of the device, there will be a bigger screen size, high-quality, increased battery life, and attractive prices. One of the versions of the product can be made waterproof, which is useful for its safety and a longer period of use. In the market of electronics, this device will be more valued due to its faster navigation and smooth experience, allowing connecting learning, business, and recrea
Poverty & Inequality American life is characterized by a massive divide between the poor and the rich. It is this division that brings a lot of inequalities in the country. In essence, this justifies why those who are poor and sidelined result in crime just to sustain themselves. Reiman and Leighton (90) define criminals and crime in terms of poverty, uneven distribution of wealth, and a failed system of criminal justice. This skewed governance does not help in safeguarding the country from a threat to sustainable living and acquisition of wealth. Ferguson and Marzilli (11) introduce yet another concept of crime; the white-collar crime, and note that it involves intellectuals. Therefore, poverty and inequality may not necessarily mean that the sidelined and poor in the country are the only ones indulging themselves in crime. Some well to do people are also criminals. It is only that they do this using a high level of intelligence. Ferguson and Marzilli (11) offer an example of a person taking money from investors by telling them that he or she would invest their money. Prison As the title suggests, the rich continue to get rich, and the poor head to prisons. As highlighted by Reiman and Leighton (90), the resultant effect of inequality and poverty is a crime and the emergence of criminals. They are then holed in prisons, which do not help due to poor management and ineffectiveness. The criminal justice system has failed, and as such, the poor find themselves spending a lot of time in prison while the rich who also steal get away scot-free (Reiman & Leighton 328). There is a negative notion that prisons are preserves of the poor. With an effective criminal justice system, the rich who steal in the most intelligent way should also be taken to prison. Ferguson and Marzilli (57) qualify the use of prison and write that while they may not be the ultimate resort, they help the criminals and drug addicts with potential rehabilitation of the criminal and treatment for those who use drugs. Guns Evidently, criminals have got a way of sustaining themselves. One way is by use of force and guns as weapons. As amplified by Reiman and Leighton (23), the failed nature of criminal justice helped the criminals’ access guns and other weapons at will. Boger and Welger (96) categorically note that 64% of murders committed in America are executed using firearms. Most of these are handguns to mean that there are plenty of firearms that are held illegally by people, especially those who are poor. According to Reiman and Leighton (39), the failure to control crime can be blamed on an ineffective system of justice. There are no effective measures that help in controlling poverty, which may lead to crime. Drugs Crime and drugs are inseparable. There is a close correlation between poverty and crime and the use of drugs. Reiman and Leighton (34) note that most poor people find solace in abusing drugs before even turning into crime. Boger and
Introduction Daniel Dennett is considered to be an outstanding thinker, Professor in Art and Science and Cognitive Study Center Director. He dedicated most of his studies to human mind understanding, focusing on such aspects as consciousness, mind, mental thoughts, beliefs and states. Nevertheless, the mental state theory developed by Dennett, caused considerable contradictions among other philosophers; David Armstrong and John Searle expressed their strong rejection of this theory for a number of reasons, which totally differ from each other. Theoretical Analysis of Dennett’s Theory According to Dennett’s theory, people live in accordance with their beliefs and desires, though they have no idea what really these aspects mean. People have the ability to discern those beliefs they have in complex systems with predictive strategy adoption. According to the thinker, this strategy is called the Intentional strategy, which performs the role of a rational agent, allowing us to predict the behavior we want. It is necessary to underline the fact that Dennett firmly believes, that design and physical strategies are valuable tools for behavior prediction; Intentional Stance is considered to be an important tool contributing to human behavior prediction through a rational agent having desires and beliefs. The problem of intentionality is considerably centralized within Dennett’s theory; mental states are characterized by ‘aboutness’, involving people in active interaction with the physical world. It is necessary to stress the idea that Dennett analyzed different methods of understanding and predicting processes analysis. Obtaining a physical stance is referred to as the least practical, but most accurate method; in this case, the objects are analyzed on the basis of physical sciences. Dennett’s design stance is described as a more practical method because it explains the behavior of objects on the basis of ways they are designed to behave. For example, the alarm shows the time which we design it to show. And the final method is an intentional stance, which means that everyone behaves in accordance with the desires and goals one has. The aspect of consciousness
The case study concentrates on the roles of medical directors in giant HMO companies and insurers. The case study specifically focuses on gatekeeper contracts in HMO. Dr. Bethe is one of the medical directors in Xtra Mile firm. The case study informs that all the directors in the firm report to different levels in the organization. The case also provides information on the criteria used by the firm in hiring its medical directors. In addition, the case study contains the firm’s database and information on the approaches it uses to motivate quality performance among physicians providing healthcare within the network (McLaughlin, Johnson & Sollecito, 2011). How Dr. Bethe spends his time and why the medical director position is a high risk job for him Dr. Bethe does not follow his time schedules because he is often interrupted by urgent projects that he is required to attend to. Although he is organized, he cannot follow his timetable. For example, in the previous month he was unexpectedly required to oversee recruitment of new employees, supervise auditing, and address supervisory and human relations issues in the firm (McLaughlin et al., 2011). The medical director’s position is a high risk job for Dr. Bethe. He manages a number of healthcare providers and primary healthcare physicians within the network. If he does not exercise prudent management, the giant healthcare insurance firm may suffer huge financial costs. He is expected to act as a link between his firm and healthcare providers and physicians. Making a bigger difference at Xtra Mile Dr. Bethe is confident of making a bigger difference at Xtra Mile than he could have at the local integrating system. He asserts that he is prepared to handle and manage a large portfolio issues in the healthcare insurance firm because he has experience on patients’ behavior towards healthcare policies. He is quite realistic about this because healthcare insurance providers succeed on the basis of customer satisfaction from their clients. They also succeed on the basis of the number of healthcare providers and primary healthcare physicians within their networks. He is aware of these facts, and he believes that Xtra Mile has great opportunities in the future (McLaughlin et al., 2011). Quality motivation Quality healthcare is essential in healthcare providing institutions. Patients remain loyal to their institutions depending on the quality of care they get from these facilities. The incentives proposed for primary healthcare physicians will go a long way in motivating the healthcare professionals to offer quality care to patients within the network. It seems that the incentive system is designed to motivate professionalism among primary healthcare physicians. The system will impact on the primary healthcare physicians by motivating to offer professional healthcare to their patients. They will work towards this because they will be expecting to be rewarded on the basis of customer satisfaction. Advice to Dr. Bethe and his time allocation In the future, Dr. Bethel should focus on implem
