...Introduction: There are a couple different themes that become very important when analyzing the Nestle Crunch Bar case. During the case, many research channels were used to find various themes and feelings residing within the consumer, conscious and subconscious. Between pages twelve and fourteen, multiple feelings/themes are presented. A couple of these have stuck out in comparison to the others, emotional comfort and enjoyment. These two themes seem to be present in the mind of the consumer through all of the consumer testing studies and also within the consumer throughout the entire purchasing experience. A) From the Nestle Crunch Consensus Map, we can see that enjoyment is linked to many other feelings that evoked in the consumer during the purchasing experience. Some of the predecessors to enjoyment include aspects such as taste, product attributes, indulgence and anticipation. These are all things that occur before enjoyment is experience from the consumer. From the study, it can be seen that enjoyment is an experience that is almost purely defined by primary deciding factors such as the ones mentioned above; making enjoyment a secondary feeling during the experience of consuming a nestle Crunch bar. The qualities of the product such as taste, feel and look are directly linked to enjoyment one gets out of the product. One of the words related to enjoyment that tends to stick out in the study, is indulgence. This is a word that is often personified with chocolate in general...

...It is interesting to read how NPD gained its’ success through the waste or trash of the United States and Europe. I think this is right in line with how Mrs. Cheung thinks; she wants to be ahead of all her competitors and gain every competitive advantage possible. By utilizing the paper waste of higher quality products in the US and Europe, she was able to bring this quality back to China where it was nonexistent. As you can see in the reading as well, Mrs. Cheung believes in rapid expansion to maximize revenue opportunity and that long term profits will come from taking on a lot of debt. But even as she said when speaking about the economic crisis: “Now the waves are so big, even some rocks are being washed away.” The economic crisis of 2008 did not only affect the small companies, but also the large and profitable ones like Nine Paper Dragons. I would summarize the company’s financial status as struggling at the point this article was written. The company’s unsecured notes were rated as BBB- in April, 2008 and downgraded even lower to BB+ in October of 2008. On top of that, even though the company had a successful IPO in March of 2006, the debt accumulated after this IPO really hurt the company when the financial crisis hit in 2008. This demonstrates Mrs. Cheung’s vision to take chances and be the market trend setter for her industry. It appeared though that she spread herself too thin through expansion and also through the large amount of debt she...

...Ieva Massehian ECON 303 N. Pulchritudoff March 7, 2015 Robert Reich’s Aftershock: The Next Economy and America’s Future Robert Reich, former secretary of labor in B. Clinton administration and current professor of Public policy in University of California, Berkley starts his 12th book “Aftershock: The next Economy and America’s future” from presenting well known cause of 2008 economic crisis: ““For too long,” Geithner says, referring to the period leading up to the financial bust, “Americans were buying too much and saving too little.” However, soon it becomes clear that Reich has different point of view what really happened in the wake of the one of the worst economic crisis in world’s history. Author starts his argument by looking back to America’s history and analyzing Great Depression and Great Recession. He is inspired by chairman of Federal Reserve board M. Eccles who was convinced that purchasing power of middle class was reduced by uneven distribution of income. “He draws heavily on his thinking, that the blame lies on a similar but worse economic trauma—the Great Depression—on the vast accumulation of income in the hands of the wealthy in the ’20s, which siphoned purchasing power away from other Americans.” This situation compromised the growth of economy and the economy collapsed. Reich agrees that the stagnation of middle-class buying power has been a drag on growth. “If earnings are inadequate,” he asserts, “an economy produces more goods and services...

Sociological perspective of financial crisis The aspect of sociology in financial crises Senate’s investigative report The key players and their roles Why the workers remained unknowing The sociological explanation of the unpredictability of the crisis Conclusion Introduction The Financial Crisis of 2008 was described by economists, analysts and even sociologist as the worst and most devastating economic crisis since the 1930s Great Depression. It threatened a total collapse of huge financial institutions, banks bailout by governments, and major downturns in security's exchange around the world characterized this dark economic year. The housing sector in many areas in the world t also suffered, with the result being forced and unnoticed evictions (Coxe, 2005). Many people lost their jobs and there was a prolonged unemployment leading to family crisis and debts. Key businesses including banks failed and there was a huge decline in the consumer profits. The small unsecured financial institutions suffered the worst ever insolvency resulting from bank runs that characterized this period. The declines in consumer wealth were estimated in trillions of U.S. dollars. All these activities took a very short active phase, manifested as a liquidity crisis, and dated from August 9...

...My First Job BEEEEP! I rolled over and pressed snooze for about the tenth time that morning because it was summer and sleeping in only seemed mandatory. I felt the warmth of the sun come in through my large bedroom window and make direct contact with my half open eyes. I immediately knew that today was going to be a good day. Just like any other summer morning I woke up around noon, slowly drudged out of bed and walked over to the sink where I would typically fall asleep brushing my teeth. But on this particular day I remember being wide-awake with a ready to go mentality. I quickly brushed my teeth and went downstairs to enjoy some breakfast. One bowl of milk with exactly 3 handfuls of Captain Crunch cereal was a tradition; so I got my bowl and sat down to enjoy the wonderful meal that awaited me. I was enjoying the bowl of cereal and watching House, my favorite television show when I saw a bright little screen light up. I slowly turned my head to look at my phone and saw a text from my friend. It said “Hey you can come by today and interview if you want.” At that moment my day went from being just another summer day to the most important summer day. This was the day that I would be applying for my first real job. I hurriedly unlocked my phone; 0-8-8-0 a password that was meant to take no time to enter did the trick and text awaited me. I replied saying, “Great I’ll come by later today.” At this point a multitude of emotions hit me. First, I felt happy...

...With these developments, it is obvious that conflicts between parties of different nationalities occur and liability to tax on income of foreigners especially among those engaging in trading venture. Whilst the laws affecting domicile and residence may be sufficiently settled, it is paramount for courts to pursue a detailed analysis to ascertain specific preliminary issues so as to avoid controversial rulings. Courts often handle numerous financial cases that involve what can be best described as foreign or international elements. In such cases, court must decide whether it has the jurisdiction under the Family Law Act 1975 to make a decision on such cases. In the event that it is determined that the court is invested with the jurisdiction to determine the case, the court has to consider whether there is a system of law in foreign country that also has the jurisdiction to handle the case. As it was addressed in the case Attorney General of New Zealand v Ortiz [1984] AC 1, these benefits and costs to either party if the case resolution is made in foreign country as compared with the apparent country should also be a subject of concern.

...Adapted from Bernhardt & Kinnear (1988). Cases in marketing management, pp. 6-16. Plano, TX: Business Publications, Inc. Pay careful attention to the following points. They are often used by instructors to evaluate either a written or oral analysis. 1. Be complete. Each area of the situation analysis must be discussed, problems and opportunities identified, alternative presented and evaluated using the situation analysis and relevant financial analysis, and a decision must be made. An analysis that omits part of the situation analysis or only recognizes one alternative is not a good analysis. Second, each area must be covered in-depth and within insight. 2. Avoid rehashing case facts. Every case has a lot of factual information. A good analysis uses facts that are relevant to the situation at hand to make summary points of analysis. A poor analysis just restates or rehashes theses facts without making relevant summary comments. 3. Make reasonable assumptions. Every case is incomplete in terms of some piece of information that you would like to have. A good case analysis must make realistic assumptions to fill in the gaps of information in the case. For example, the case may not describe the purchase decision process for the product of interest. A poor analysis would either omit mentioning this or just state that no information is available. A good analysis would attempt to present this purchase decision process by classifying the product and drawing upon real life...

...are given. It is understandable then that we should seek out more opportunities to apply our skills and make more positive impacts within our jurisdictions. It is this general attitude that led us to get involved in investigating cold cases. How We Got Started Mark had, for several years, been consulting with our Coroner’s Division as a forensic anthropologist. During this time he came to learn that there were numerous coroners’ cases in which the identity of the decedent was unknown. These cases were kept in three-ring binders on a shelf in the Sergeant’s office. Over the years, in the course of this forensic work, we would discuss these cases and the progress that was being made on them. The conversation usually ran along the lines of us asking “any luck with that 1980 homicide victim?” and the sergeant answering “well, we’ve gotten so many new cases that I haven’t been able to even look at it yet.” This went on for a few years and through two different sergeants. One day we, as a crime analysis unit, were brainstorming about how we could broaden our “client base”, as it were. We had been successful in integrating ourselves into our Investigations Bureau and had been involved in numerous major cases. And, of course, we had always been active in producing tactical and strategic analyses for our patrol personnel. But we knew that we could be doing more, particularly given the size and responsibilities of our agency. It was during...

...BUSINESS CASE Presented to the Accountancy Department De La Salle University In partial fulfillment Of the course requirements In ACCTBA2 (C33) March 2, 2015 A stakeholder is typically concerned with an organization delivering intended results and meeting its financial objectives. In general, a stakeholder can be one of two types: internal (from within an organization) or external (outside of an organization). The stakeholders in this situation are Lanie Marquez and Tim Rodriguez who are also partners in the retail distribution business and their capital contributions are as follows P500,000 and P300,000 respectively they are an internal stakeholder since they are also the owners. The total Capital of both stakeholders is P800,000 and with a monthly salary for both partners at P15,000 on the assumption that both of them will contribute to manage the business equally. Assuming that both managed the business equally the total salary for the year for Lanie and Tim are P180,000 each. They share profit and loss equally and no interest will be given on capital contributed. The problem for this situation is that Lanie is starting to get concerned with the behavior of her other partner Tim. He only manages the business 50% of the time, which will mean that his salary of P15,000 will need to decrease by also 50% since he does not manage the business equally with his partner. The business has seen a downturn in the profit outcome and for the current financial...

... Many people wonder why their own teeth stain so easily. The enamel on your teeth and chromogens are what stains your teeth, but what exact beverage stains teeth the most? I chose this topic because I was curious to know what stains teeth the most. It affects us daily because it could rot your teeth or you can’t pick up hot chicks anymore. So what causes teeth to stain? The temperature causes teeth to expand or contract making it easier for stains. So hot and cold drinks affect that. Color in foods and beverages come from chromogens. Chromogens are intensely pigmented compounds that stick to teeth enamel. Chromogens cause a lot of trouble when they mix and react with other stain causing and stain promoting factors. Tannis may be natural or synthetic tannis is another factor that stains teeth. Tooth enamel is porous making it extremely susceptible to stains. The darker the liquid the darker the stain. There are some examples that stain teeth. Not only sodas bad but also Gatorade. Beets are bad for you also. Mostly cause they’re concentrated. Berries dark skins stain teeth. Ketchup is also really bad because of its bright red color and high levels of acid. Dark liquids and sauces you put on your foods also stain teeth. Colored candy and popsicles both contain colorants that will transfer to the teeth and embed in the porous enamel. Fruit juices, especially grape and cranberry, leave a colorful tinge on the teeth and tongue. Colored sodas instantly discolor teeth. The citric acids...

...efficient investigative products and services. As a result, the coverage requirements for ANACI and NACLC investigations have been enhanced to support a common content baseline for all agencies. Note that these enhancements apply only to those ANACI and NACLC cases submitted on an SF 86. The purpose of this FIN is to provide you with information concerning what case coverage changes have been made. The case price adjustments necessary to support these changes will be reflected in the FY 2007 case prices. ANACIINACLC Cases Currently, listed and developed issues which are identified in ANACI and NACLC cases (for non-DoD customers) are not pursued beyond the normal scope of the investigation. These cases are returned to the requesting agency so that the agency may decide whether to adjudicate the case based upon the information in hand, conduct additional follow-up themselves, or request a Reimbursable Suitability Investigation (RSI) from FISD to cover the additional issues. Beginning with FY 2007, expansion of these issues will become a standard part of both the ANACI and NACLC products. Effective October 1, 2006, issues apparent at scheduling or developed during the course of the investigation and which fall within the 5-year case coverage period, unless otherwise noted, will be expanded upon according to the following chart (exception: issues which are known to have been covered in previous investigations, or which would reasonably have been expected to...
