...answer a phone call, text or navigate the web yet it is not the most responsible thing to do behind the wheel. Visual, manual and cognitive are three types of distraction and texting takes up all. Texting on your cellular phone makes you an irresponsible driver. “I’ve seen it firsthand, it does cause accidents, it’s dangerous and it’s irresponsible,” a former police officer commented (Marino, 2012). Driving a vehicle requires full responsibility and one who is not willing to take the precautions on it should not be issued a drivers license. The consequences range from receiving a ticket to having a fatal car accident. All of these distractions can always wait; they are not worth paying a ticket, taking someone’s life or losing your own. Keeping your eyes on the road is the most important thing to do when operating a vehicle. Five seconds off the road traveling at fifty-five mph is like driving an entire football field without looking (Marino, 2012). Five seconds sounds so insignificant yet can be your biggest regret. Many things can go wrong in those five seconds; it simply takes one second for you to rear-end the car in front of you. People do not realize they are operating a weapon with a blind fold when they are looking away. In order to take rapid initiative to prevent an accident visual focus on the road is required to know what is happening or about to happen. Manual distraction adds to the irresponsibility of a driver. Majority of the people drive with only one hand...

N Introduction The cinema industry in is one of the biggest recipients of the negative impact of industrial changes. Currently the industry is literally falling. Opinions may differ on the exact cause of downfall of the industry. Cinema owners, contractors and spectators were unanimous in their view that, changing buyer life styles, cable network, complaints of obscenity, costly tickets, mobile, internet, computers, DVDs and dish antenna have together contributed to the decreased number of cine-goers in recent years Most cinema halls’ property has been bought or is hired by Pentecostal churches in the country which is now redeveloping the buildings as a worship centers’, others have been converted to shopping exhibitions for clothes and mobile phones. a) Technological changes The range of products that are available for consumers to buy is constantly changing.

...Managing diversity last seminar One of the main changes in modern consumer behaviour has been the transition from a passive to an active and informed consumer. Internet enables customers to share their opinions on, and experiences with, goods and services with a multitude of other consumers. Online consumer reviews are used by prospective buyers of related products who are interested in obtaining more information from people who have purchased and used a product of interest. Word-of-mouth (WOM) is one of the most important information sources when a consumer is making a purchase decision as it is also a new trend of marketing. The arrival and expansion of the Internet has extended consumers' options for gathering product information by including other consumers' comments, posted on the Internet, and has provided consumers opportunities to offer their own consumption-related advice by engaging in electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM). eWOM can be defined as all informal communications directed at consumers through Internet-based technology related to the usage or characteristics of particular goods and services, or their sellers. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of, one type of electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM), the online consumer review, on purchasing decision of electronic products. This empirical study also focuses on the relationship between reviews and purchasing behavior. Therefore, one question comes in our mind: How online reviews have changed consumers’ decision-making...

...Google Technologies Glass Google Glass is an electronic eye wear device that essentially is the ability to access Google and updates from your smartphone device through the computerized frames. While currently still in the stages of development and beta testing, Google Glass has already started making an impact on the development of new technologies and the way in which we are able to see things through another person’s eyes.

...Introduction The target market of Generation Y is not easy to reach in method or message. “This group is technologically, socially and environmentally different from older generations” (Olson, 2007). Messages have to appeal to them at multiple levels invoking them to want to know more about the brands and prompting them to engage in online research and peer input to solidify their thoughts and opinions. A unique blend of media vehicles – both traditional and alternative – must be utilized to reach the targeted audience through the clutter to optimize engagement. This brief will discuss the appropriate appeals, message themes and media vehicles necessary to reach Gen Y and propel the Chevrolet brand above its competitors. Appeal Engaging Gen Y’s attention will require a combination of appeals to resonate brand messaging as they have collectively begun to tune out traditional advertising (Carter, 2010). Successful brands have strategically used humor, emotion and music to appeal to Gen Y’s individuality thus allowing the brand to grow (Carter, 2010). Chevrolet’s goal is to establish a following with members of Gen Y and build upon this following via peer referrals (word of mouth). Humor will engage and capture their attention allowing for better recall of the message and brand (Clow, 2012). The ads will contain quirky, ironic humor and have a sense of truth to make them believable. Humor will relay the Chevrolet brand as fun and entertaining and Gen Y’ers will respond...

...Apple Inc. Executive Summary Apple was not just innovative; the company was disruptive. The ability of the tech giant to go from an electronics company on the fringe of obscurity to creating an ecosystem of “must-have” products has been nothing short of amazing. The company did it by being disruptive. When Apple launched the iPod, Steve Jobs created a device that changed not only how the consumer listens to music, but also how he or she communicates, takes pictures, reads, or just passes time. Apple took smartphones to a new level, creating something sleek and innovative. Jobs created a cool new music player for “cool” people. The company established a high-cost narrow-focused market segment (Baltzan, 2011). The iPod and Apple would end up with a high perceived-value that meant, while the consumer always paid a premium price, he or she also always received an operationally superior product and great customer service. Applying Porter’s Five Factors Model, Apple demonstrates its superiority in the smartphone/tablet industry. While the company does not dominate the global market, it does dominate in profits. As a result of large profits, Apple has more financial leverage in negotiations with suppliers and manufacturers. Rivalries and substitutes are generally not an issue among existing Apple device users. Brand loyalty is extremely strong among Apple users. The examination of Apple through Porter’s lens reveals a company that is sustainable. Do you agree...
