...insights from the visition to laperal RAPHEAL ALLEN M. JARIOL | EP 9 – fr. jimmy marquez | insights from the visition to laperal RAPHEAL ALLEN M. JARIOL | EP 9 – fr. jimmy marquez | Desire like the poor When we visited Laperal to pray for the families, I asked myself a question. I thought “What is the item I really want to have.” When I asked myself that I immediately thought of an Iphone 6s because it would be really nice if I get to own an expensive phone for the feeling high-class. I then thought about the poor and asked myself if what item they also really wanted. I realized that we should desire like the poor. When we gave the stampitas to the poor families in Laperal, they treat the stampitas like treasures, they put it in their hearts and sometimes kiss the stampita, and while I treat stampitas given to me like trash, everywhere you can find misplaced stampitas. I desire for a new and expensive phone while the poor desire for the Lord. Even if it is just a stampita of St. Joseph, they treasure it because the poor does not believe that an Iphone 6s can help them but only God can help them. All of us should desire like the poor. Not crying over worthless and really expensive things. Desire for God even if he is only a piece of paper with ink in it, desire for him because he will be the one to help you. Not seeing stampitas as mere pieces of papers but a passageway to praise the Lord. Dear Fr. Jimmy Marquez. Sorry for not passing my...

...promote their brand and most importantly how they can raise funds at the upcoming Springboard conference. Though the primary emphasis of Zipcar is on convenience and cost savings, the Zipcar concept is planned to be marketed as environmentally friendly. We feel this is an additional pain that Zipcar is trying to address that poses risks because, firstly, there are other two similar companies in US (Portland-based Car Sharing Inc. and Seattle- based Flexcar) that are already more focused towards the environment friendliness. Secondly, if Zipcar really wants to market their product as environmentally-friendly, then they probably should choose their launch car from a list of most environment friendly cars of 2000 such as Toyota Prius, Honda Insight or Honda Civic hybrid instead of launching Zipcar with Volkswagen Beetle to gain the trust of their customers on Zipcar brand. Thirdly, the case suggests that Zipcar is also targeted towards university students, who visit friends or go out of the city for few days. We feel going ahead with a 2-seater car (Volkswagen Beetle) is not as great idea as mostly students travel in groups and would need...

...Discussion on the 5 promotional mix used by Honda The promotional mix used by Honda is divided into two categories which are traditional promotion medium and non-traditional medium. We have chosen the 5 latest promotional mix to be discussed including advertising, sales promotions (traditional promotion medium) and social media, sponsorship marketing as well as guerrilla marketing (non-traditional medium). Advertising is the most common tool used by company to promote their product. Advertising is the creation and delivery of messages to targeted audiences through the purchase of time or space in media owned by others. Honda advertises through newspapers, television and radio. These mediums of advertising are believed to be very effective and able to convince the viewer to buy their cars. The advertisement of Honda could be seen easily and reached to every class of people. The images used by Honda in the advertisement are always attractive and eye-catchy. It is very successful as consumers are usually influenced easily by virtual affect. They would be convinced by the advertisement, perceiving the car is as good as the advertisement description. Honda advertises frequently in newspapers, television and radio because repetitive advertising could attract customer’s attention easily. Indirectly, the consumers will be influenced and tend to believe the advertisement. As a result, they will opt for Honda cars. The second traditional promotion mix used by Honda is sales promotion...

Generally speaking a hybrid car is one which uses two power engines to pull the vehicle. The introduction of hybrid cars has been hailed greatly, mostly by international organisations, governments, nongovernmental organisations (NGOs,) and individuals. Many car manufacturers are continuously getting involved with the production...

...Gas Prices – Final Paper BUS308: Statistics for Managers Professor Student Name Date As a manager of a delivery service, it is important to observe the changes in the cost of gas. This information is significant because it determines whether the price of our product increases or decreases for the year. I recorded the annual average mean of gas prices between the years of 1982 to 2011. To get the mean I used the formula (=average(numbers in cells)), I calculated the expected value by multiplying the slope by the year and subtracting the intercept amount, and the residual amount was calculated by subtracting the annual mean by the expected value. The United States saw a noticeable uptick in the price of gas from 1976-1983, thanks to the situation in Iran. Gas prices have always been in an up and down rollercoaster according to our data the average mean of gas in 1982 was 1.296. From 1982 to 1983 gas prices went down because of another crisis the United States was dealing with. From the years 1984-1992 this period of time includes the Gulf War and the recession that followed shortly after: In 1986 the gas price went as low as 0.927 this came as a result of reduced demand and overproduction, which resulted in the short-term loss of OPEC unity. In the years 1993 – 2000 the United States was in an Economic boom. The gas prices remained average during this period until the year 2000...

...dimension of understanding a competitor's internal culture, value system, mindset and assumptions help in determining a much more accurate and realistic reading of a competitor’s possible reactions in a given situation. The Four Corners Motivation – drivers This helps in determining competitor's action by understanding their goals (both strategic and tactical) and their current position vis-à-vis their goals. A wide gap between the two could mean the competitor is highly likely to react to any external threat that comes in its way, whereas a narrower gap is likely to produce a defensive strategy. Question to be answered here is: What is it that drives the competitor? These drivers can be at various levels and dimensions and can provide insights into future goals. Motivation – Management Assumptions The perceptions and assumptions the competitor has about itself and its industry would shape strategy. This corner includes determining the competitor's perception of its strengths and weaknesses, organization culture and their beliefs about competitor's goals. If the competitor thinks highly of its competition and has a fair sense of industry forces, it is likely to be ready with plans to counter any threats to its position. On the other hand, a competitor who has a misplaced understanding of industry forces is not very likely to respond to a potential attack. Question to be answered here is: What are competitor's assumption about the industry, the competition and its...

...Competitive Intelligence Term Paper Dr. Ahmed Nassar Prepared by Ahmed Ibrahim Ahmed El Mizayen 1. What is CI? he process of collecting and analyzing information about competitors’ strengths and weaknesses in a legal and ethical manner to enhance business decision-making. Competitive intelligence activities can be basically grouped into two main types – 1) Tactical, which is shorter-term and seeks to provide input into issues such as capturing market share or increasing revenues; and 2) Strategic, which focuses on longer-term issues such as key risks and opportunities facing the enterprise. Competitive intelligence is different from corporate or industrial espionage, which use illegal and unethical methods to gain an unfair competitive advantage. Competitive intelligence means different things to different people within an organization. For example, to a sales representative, it may mean tactical advice on how best to bid for a lucrative contract. To top management, it may mean unique marketing insights to gain market share against a formidable competitor. The ultimate end goal of competitive intelligence is to help make better decisions and enhance organizational performance. While most companies can find substantial information about their competitors online, competitive intelligence goes way beyond merely trawling the Internet, on the premise that the most valuable information is seldom – if ever – easily accessible online. A typical competitive intelligence...

...Analyzing Your Competition Overview Almost everyone in business understands the principle of trying to offer something better than what their competitors are offering. Gaining an advantage is the key to success and even survival. But many of the so-called advantages that businesses rely on are not sustainable. They can be easily copied, stolen or negated. Real competitive advantages — things like brand name recognition, patented manufacturing processes or exclusive rights to a scarce resource — cannot be easily copied. Every company has a unique set of strengths, and it's critical that you determine yours, as well as your competitors'. Hold a brainstorming session with your staff and advisors to perform a formal SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis. This analysis helps you to see how your strengths stack up against your competitors' weaknesses and suggests ways to take advantage of marketplace opportunities. After you have performed the analysis, there are four basic competitive strategies to consider. 1. Become the low-cost supplier. By under-pricing the competition, you can achieve greater volume, which can drive your costs down even further by realizing economies of scale. Of course, it's important to still maintain a healthy profit margin so the key here is to lower costs, not just prices. 2. Achieve product or service quality differentiation. Think about the hundreds of companies that have achieved such differentiation for themselves...
