...analyzed Nestlé. Nestle bottled water is among the top five international brands of bottled water in volume of sales and in is sold in 35 countries. More than 90 percent of nestles water sales occur in North America and Europe. With Nestle being a company that is constantly growing and finding ways to increase their revenues Nestle is targeting the less expensive and lower risk alternative for increasing sales in Italy. With nestles company campaign geared towards portable bottled water, Nestle increased its share of $3billion Italian water market to 29 percent in 2004, up from 25.8 percent in 2003. Almost all of the increase was due to the sales of water in smaller, more portable bottle water. The fact that the majority of sales was due to smaller portable bottles tells us that there is potential demand for smaller portable bottle water in the Italian market. One way of increasing the sales of smaller portable bottle water, Nestle should focus on changing the deep-seated Italian habits of drinking water. Italians are not known to drink water on the go, for many years Italian mothers have warned their children not to eat or drink while walking because it can cause indigestion. Since Nestle has already started its campaign, and the results came up with increased market share, Nestle should stay on the game to establish its product position. Nestle should try and terminate this myth about how drinking water on the go can cause indigestion by creating...

...be assessed are the DCVI soccer field and Sparling Bush. The independent variables that will be examined are temperature, moisture, amount of light, and soil. The dependent variable in this inquiry is the level of biodiversity. Hypothesis (What do you think will happen?) Temperature I hypothesize that it will be warmer at Sparling Bush because creatures, plants, cells, etc, are able to grow and live in a warmer climate much more easily. The temperature will be warmer at Sparling Bush because there will be many trees around creating a higher density which will help keep the heat in better. Wind will be able to pass through the soccer field much more easily compared to Sparling Bush therefore the soccer field will not be able to maintain the heat. For example, plants have a tougher time trying to grow in colder conditions making it harder for the organism to survive. This means that the living organisms at Sparling Bush should have a greater level of biodiversity compared to an open soccer field because trees protect the biotic and abiotic organisms. Moisture / Humidity I hypothesize that the humidity level at Sparling Bush will be higher compared to the soccer field. I believe this because, if the morning dew soaks up into the air, then the humidity level will stay high because the trees at Sparling Bush create a dense barrier, making it hard for the humidity level to decrease and escape Sparling Bush. The moisture content at the soccer field should be less than...

...reputation as being high-quality. Nike’s high tech products have allowed the brand to be perceived as innovative in the minds of consumers. Nike is continually introducing new products to the sports market as a way to improve performance. Through high performance and innovation, Nike has been branded as arrogant as the company has a high regard for the spirit of competition and portraying a rebellious spirit. b) Source of Brand Equity Description Logo Nike’s logo is a check mark. It is commonly referred to as the “swoosh.” As of 2000, 97 percent of American citizens recognize the brand logo. Nike has been seen as aggressive in the overabundance use of the “swoosh” with the symbol being placed on shoes, jerseys, hats, billboards and soccer balls across the globe. This ubiquity has been criticized as diluted the “swoosh”. Advertising Advertising has allowed Nike to portray its rebellious spirit and “nasty boy” image. However, this approach in advertisement has caused negative perceptions in countries such as Europe where it has come across as too irreverent. Sponsorships Nike has sponsored athletes such as Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan and John McEnroe. Americans idolize sport heroes allowing “winning” performance by sponsored athletes to correlate with “winning” Nike products. Through sponsorships Nike was able to create the credibility needed for...

...Globalization Globalization is the process of international integration arising from the interchange of world views, products, ideas and other aspects of culture.At a government level the people of the country try to manage the flow of capital, labor, goods, and ideas. This has an effect on environment, culture, and economic development. This subject will always be very controversial, because it has great pros and cons depending on the way you interpret the meaning of globalization. Some of the pros of globalization are increasing the standard way of living, improved ability to interact and coordinates with different governments, and having more options with foreign countries. The cons are taking away jobs, interaction with different cultures decrease, and mismanagement of natural resources. Increasing the standard way of living is a positive effect of globalization. Depending on someone’s moral beliefs determine how people decide on what to do or how they feel about this topic. Appiah gives insight on how different cultures have conflict by sharing the same value, but also having a mutual understanding. He stated “But moral conflicts come in different varieties” (Appiah 380).Taiwanese college students have done a recent study; instead of seeing the exigency of global participation, they held a series of conflicting ideas toward the often taken-for-granted global community imagined for them, their roles as legitimate and competent members in the community, and the kind of...

...At first there were only two forms of pure carbon known to mankind, graphite and diamonds. Graphite and diamonds have improved technology and outher areas with their properties, such as their strength. Recently however, a new form was found, called bucky balls. It has been around for a long time, but was discovered a little while ago when there was an experiment done on the carbon molecules in space. Scientist used soot (to act as stardust) and added water creating a solution. They let the solution sit over night and then put it under a slide where they witnessed bucky balls being formed. The bucky ball is the largest symmetrical molecules known in the nanoscience world, and is chemically incredibly stable. The bucky ball is formed from 60 carbon molecules in the shape of a sphere and is made up of twelve hexagons connected to twenty pentagons, forming a figure similar to a soccer ball. Bucky balls are a great step in the world of nanoscience and nanotechnology because its properties. One property being its flexibility and resistance to collisions and high speed forces. When hit by something or shot at something with a high speed, it doesn't break but is able to bounce back and regain its original form with no harm done to it. Another property that makes the bucky ball useful is that it is incredibly strong. It is even stronger then diamonds. This property is used when the bucky ball along with graphite combine to create a tube, called a ˜nanotube', which can be used...

...Executive Summary The Kool-Aid brand has faded as the market has become flooded with various choices of sodas, waters, energy drinks, packaged and powdered sports drinks, and a myriad of other options. Our goal is to bring back this brand which was once at the heart of teen popular culture. We will focus on bringing two new products to the Kool-Aid lineup: sugar-free premixed and energy drink. The target market for sugar free Kool-Aid is soccer moms who generally have one to three children ages four to fourteen. We believe these moms will like the idea of having an alternative to sugary sports drinks and sodas for their children. The target market for Kool-Aid energy drink is young adults who enjoy sports and gaming. We believe that these people drink energy drinks more often and grew up with Kool-Aid and will be happy to see it return in a form they can drink and still feel like adults. We plan to run full page advertisements in magazines such as Better Homes and Gardens and many gaming and sports magazines. We have allocated 7% of the revenue from Kool-Aid for advertising these new products. Once a sufficient number of advertisements have run, we will survey and review customer satisfaction. Comparing these results with surveys prior to running the campaign will let us know if Kool-Aid has become part of the consideration set of energy drink buyers and soccer moms. ------------------------------------------------- This analysis will explain how the Kool-Aid brand...

...downs. But for many American fans tuning into the World Cup, soccer’s nuggets of analytic insight remain as foreign as the game itself. There are set pieces to orchestrate, attacking strategies to plan, areas of the defense to exploit — and it isn’t always apparent which tactics are best. But analytics has clear advice on how to do some things right. Soccer analytics is very much viewed as a discipline in its infancy. And the sport itself is often described as especially resistant to the pull of number-crunching, whether due to its fluid nature, its sportocratic establishment culture, or a fear that the un-sentimentality of data will rob the Beautiful Game of its celebrated elegance. There’s not much truth to that. Off and on, people have been tracking relatively detailed soccer data in some form for more than six decades, up to and including the modern companies that exhaustively log every event on the pitch. (2) The beautiful game has always been resistant to numerical representation, at least beyond the almighty scoreboard. But that's changing. Slowly yet surely, numbers have crept into how we talk and think about soccer. Once, there were goals. Then assists came along. Now there are saves, clearances, blocks, interceptions, punches, punts, the always-controversial stat of "possession" and more. All...

...Globalization is the art that connects many regions together, near and far. Creating the unique, diverse and economically functioning world, globalization is evident throughout the world we know. Regions are often either thriving or in scuffles due to this art. The regions of North America, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Sub-Saharan Africa are great examples of the impact globalization have on all areas. Globalization has the ability to join regions economically and culturally as well as affect the local demographics and region local life. North America is a leading powerhouse in terms of world globalization. With large populations, world leading language, available resources and technology, and a diverse mixing bowl of comers, the impact the region has on globalization is large. It is noted in the text “Diversity Amid Globalization” by Les Rowntree that a noted 37 million foreigners are in the North America region. The American cultural is known as the “popular cultural landscape,” also referred to as the American dream.

...A dramatic increase in the numbers and percentage of women in the workplace has occurred. Barriers to women’s entry into senior management or also known as the “glass ceiling”, exist across the globe, and it’s a lot worse in some arears of the world than in others. (chap 5. pp. 146) One of the key barriers that can hinder the advancement of women is stereotypes. Gender stereotypes start at a very early age. When we are invited to birthday parties, if it’s a girl’s birthday we would take barbies or pink dolls and if it’s a boy’s birthday, we would take water guns or soccer ball. We automatically assume that because she is a girl, she will like anything “girly” and because he is a guy, he will like anything related to violence (gun) or sports. However, this is not a negative generalization and does not necessarily describe the attributes of every person of each gender. These gender stereotypes inaccurately try to describe all women and therefore make them inferior to men. Such stereotypes are extremely counterproductive in the workplace and prevent women and men from working effectively together and respect each other. Women more often than men choose to reduce their work commitment to part-time to spend more time with their kids and to better balance work and family. Read more:...

Exercising will give you more energy, as your body becomes trained to properly use energy rather than store it as fat. It will help you think clearly, and boost productivity, along with self-confidence. The mental and physical benefits of exercise are clear- we all understand them, but they're difficult to maintain. Finding an exercise that is fun for you is key. Whether it be joining a sports team, swimming or running on your own time, or using online videos to do home-workouts, exercise should be fun.
