Our team recommends Miami because of the diversity, means of safety, the existing infrastructure, and financing opportunities that Miami has to offer. Our team has found through extensive research of past Olympic Games and host cities that these are the four key areas of focus. The Olympic Games bring together people from all around the world and all the different types of people blend together to enjoy something great for two weeks every four years. Similarly, Miami does the same thing just on an everyday basis. Miami is home to people from all over the world and from all different backgrounds. The diversity in Miami has been researched and will be used as an asset to the Olympic Games. The city is already multi-linguistic which will be a major help in relieving stress when it comes to travel for the participants. Keeping this diverse group of people safe will be an issue Miami will face. The safety of the participants and fans is arguably the most important aspect the host city needs to focus on. The Miami area has been recently cutting down on crime and will continue this...

...this report is to provide the AFL Miami Private Investor Board with the information necessary for assessing the effectiveness and feasibility of this business venture. South Florida is an ideal location to begin a new AFL franchise. The reason for this is due to Florida’s powerful demand for sports, and football in particular. A relatively large percentage of Florida’s GDP is due to a stable sports industry that successfully weathered the recent economic recession. The geography of Florida helps create a loyal fan base with in the region any professional sports team operates. These fan bases are driven by intrastate rivalries, and the fans are not hesitant to pay to see their teams play. These fan bases for the AFL in Orlando, Jacksonville, and Tampa Bay have proven to strong enough to sustain the operations of the franchises. With the closest arena football team playing four to five hours away, this distance is more than enough to dissuade most South Florida natives from attending and supporting the AFL. However, bringing a team to Miami would increase their awareness of the sport and prove to be sustainable. A loyal, lucrative, and intrastate rivalry driven market is what will sustain an AFL Miami franchise. Additionally, the AFL adheres to a spring schedule so as to not compete for fans with other football leagues. In order to properly market this franchise an aggressive marketing campaign will be necessary. Given that Miami is the one of the most diverse regions...

...Assignment 1 Red Bull Female Perspective Focus Group Marketing Research Introduction: For over 26 years, Red Bull has manufactured and sold energy drinks. With over 40 billion cans consumed and sold in over 166 countries, Red Bull is currently the number one energy drink brand consumed worldwide, but as new energy drink companies emerge and the market saturates, it is important to retain a competitive edge. A report conducted by Nielsen on users of energy drinks states that a new heavy user category has been discovered; young mothers (Nielsen, 2013). In the past Red Bull has remained very neutral, appealing to both males and females with gender neutral packaging and directed marketing to the target markets of young males, students and club goers. Recently, direct competitors such as Monster and 5 hour energy have created flavours designed specifically for the female demographic. As an industry leader, it is important to evaluate possibilities, especially if they mean gaining market share. This focus group will explore the potential opportunities that this newly discovered target market may hold. Purpose of study (problem definition): The following study is an attempt to gather insight on the wants and needs of a new target market demographic (young mothers and young female energy drink consumers).

...groups of Xerox employees dating from the 1960s, play an important role in our diversity story. These caucuses, similar to networking and affinity groups, are instrumental in advocating openness, opportunity and inclusion for the entire Xerox community. They work with management to achieve common business objectives, self-advocacy and to create an environment of inclusion. Six caucus groups currently exist to address the concerns and meet the needs of employees who are African-American, Hispanic, Asian, women, African-American women, gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual. Through executive roundtables, our CEO and other senior leaders meet with diverse teams of Xerox employees, often representing one of our caucus groups. During these informal sessions, participants share their views on Xerox’s work environment and business concerns, and identify actionable items for discussion with Xerox’s senior team. The process ensures that the executive leadership team and the CEO are working together to resABSTRACT. Currently, an increasing number of organizations are attempting to enhance inclusiveness of under represented individuals through proactive efforts to manage their diversity. In this article, we define diversity management against the backdrop of its predecessor, affirmative action. Next, selected examples of organizations that have experienced specific positive bottom line results from diversity management strategies are discussed.

...have had certain interest since I was a child in visiting this country but as many people do, I had certain preconceptions. The only thing I knew of this country was what I had seen on TV on the Discovery Chanel about the animal population; which the country is home to more than 140 species of marsupials (animals with pouches to carry their young), including koalas, wombats and the Tasmanian devil, now found only in the Tasmanian wilderness. Australia is also home to many unique animal groups thus creating in my mind a fear for both the marine life and other animals known only to reside there; and no there are no kangaroos bounding around downtown. I was also concern about the culture shock, I had this idea that Australians where more tall, light skin, blue eyes, blonde hair, but that quickly change upon my arrival ; there’s a diversity in culture (mostly Asian) and both man and women were not to tall. My idea of an open fields and small dessert like rural areas and under developed city quickly changed upon my arrival, while much of the land is grassland or desert, Sydney is a highly developed city with an economically advanced mixed economy. The city is much developed with so many places to visit like: The Sydney Opera House, Darling Harbor, which overlooks the whole city, Circular Quay and other activities that include restaurants, clubs and cafes. One particular problem I encounter was the language barrier, I knew there were a lot of aboriginal people still, therefore...

Sam orally agreed to sell Ramie some land for $500,000. Ramie paid Sam the $500,000; Sam gave Ramie the deed to the land. Ramie took possession of the land and began building a cabin on it. One month later, Sam tried to retake possession of the land by arguing that the contract for the sale was invalid because it was oral, not written. Sam sued Ramie to invalidate the contract and retake the land. The court will likely conclude that Sam will: a) Win; the sale exceeded $500 so the contract must be written to be valid. b) Win; all land sales contracts must be written. c) Lose; because the contract was fully executed Sam cannot rescind the contract. d) Lose; because Ramie had begun building a cabin on the property, Sam cannot rescind the contract. 2. On Tuesday, Sam offered to sell his CD collection to Sandy for $100. Sandy replied, "I’m interested. I’ll think it over and let you know Thursday whether I want to buy the CDs."
