...CHAPTER I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Dragon Noodles Restaurant came from Japan. The owner of the restaurant is Mr. Akihiro Agatsuma, a Japanese national. Mr. Akihiro wanted to share the culture of Japan by establishing a restaurant here in the Philippines. Dragon Noodles have four branches here in Pampanga. The main branch is located here in Angeles City and the other branches are in Subic, City of San Fernando and Seaside Clark. They have started their operations last 2010. The researchers have decided that there is a need to suggest strategies that will promote the existence of Dragon Noodles. Distribution of flyers and posters is considered the initial step in promoting Dragon Noodles to the people. Tarpaulins or other print advertisements must be place in peculiar locations to catch attention. During off peak hours, discounts on some food will be implemented to create demand. This will include customers with the modest budget including the students. Upon the implementation of the proposed strategies, the restaurant can expect for more customers to come and an improved service can contribute in creating loyal customers. This is what the researchers want to create because loyal customers are effective medium to market and promote the restaurants. Through word of mouth, satisfied customers speak a good experience and this is an inexpensive form of marketing strategies. CHAPTER II CORPORATE CONNECTION This chapter will state who are...

...operations in 14 countries in Europe, America and Asia. Tesco is the 3rd largest retailer in the world with £ 62.5 billion sales in 2009, having 4811 stores worldwide and 472000 employees. The core business is grocery items and main market is UK with c70 % of total annual sales. Tesco offers more than 70000 food and non food products and services by using different store formats as shown below in the diagram. The diagram shows different type of store formats and product and services offered by each format. The above complex structure makes supply chain operations even more complex to manage. This paper attempts to explore how the complex supply chain is managed at Tesco and looks at different supply chain practices implemented by Tesco. The paper discusses the supply integration practices adopted in the industry and looks at Tesco’s approach towards integrating the supply chain. Finally, the paper suggests some recommendation for improving Tesco supply chain. 2 Tesco Supply Chain Analysis Supply chain has been defined by many authors in different ways; in the context of Tesco’s supply chain the definition given by Stevens is most appropriate: “A system whose constituent parts include material suppliers, production facilities, distribution services and customer linked together via a feed forward of materials and the feedback of information”(Stevens, 1989). Tesco uses point of sales, club card information to replace material with information and hence is able to offer cheap products...

...Population-Control-Policies and their Implications for Economic Growth in China Bachelor’s Thesis supervised by the Department of Economics at the University of Zurich Prof. Dr. Fabrizio Zilibotti to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Economics Author: Noemi Schramm Course of Studies: Economics Closing date: August 17, 2011 Abstract This bachelor thesis is giving an overview on previously performed research how family-planning-policies in China (explicitly the so-called One-Child-Policy) have affected economic growth since 1979 and tries to give possible predictions and forecasts on how it could affect economic growth until 2050 through critical model analysis. The Solow model gives theoretical answers but also yields analytical results through calculations subject to different population development scenarios (low, middle, high growth rates). The dependency ratio as a measurement of population age structure is analyzed and implemented into the Solow model to help understand the influence of family-planning-policies. It is shown that the One-Child-Policy affected heavily the last 32 years of China’s economic development and will continue to affect its future, but according to the calculations in this paper, the impact changes from a positive one to a negative one. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Professor Fabrizio Zilibotti for his supervision and for giving me the opportunity to write my thesis at his chair. Especially I would like to thank Yikai Wang for...

...Dollar General MBA 7000 Business Policy and Strategy March 14, 2012 Indiana Tech Introduction and Overview Dollar General’s CEO, Cal Turner Jr., said, “Our customer doesn’t buy until she absolutely has to – she’s that stretched. Our agenda has to be to do everything we possibly can to be responsive to her needs. This is why Dollar General’s executive vice president for operations and merchandising, described the company’s customers as: “Our customers are salt-of-the-earth people who are savvy about spending money because they have to be. They have to balance their checkbooks every day, at least mentally.” (Appendix 2) So to me that displays why Dollar General has flourished during these past years even during the economic challenges in United States, Dollar General understands the target customers they are looking to attract. Therefore, internally the company must meet government regulations of health care coverage to meet upcoming government standards and expansion of the company globally while being consistent and not straying off its aggressive business growth plan in the United States can increase the company’s share of the market not just locally but globally, while increasing the company sales and awareness thereby increasing its position even more so in the industry. Dollar General serves the mid to lower income households with annual incomes of less than $50,000. (Case) Dollar General has the largest appeal to large families, low income, fixed...

...Discussion paper Do you agree with the concept that there is only one social responsibility of business- to use it's resources and engage in activities to increase it's profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in free and open competition without deception or fraud? I feel that businesses have an obligation when it comes to social responsibilities to not only act ethically but to act responsibly when it comes to all business engagements. I don`t agree with the Idea of a business being created just for the idea of making money but I believe that the core of each business should be to improve the lives of others and their surroundings. If the cocept of others are placed in the heart of each business and if the businesses abide by it, then the amount of deception, fraud, and the lack of ethics that may be found in business today will dramatically decrease.I don`t think that there is only one social responsibility of a business but there are a few responsibilities that businesses should take in and apply. I can`t think of all the responsibilities because it can change do to the nature of the business, but a couple things that should always be the priority for all businesses are to take care of the workers and the customers. If the business can keep their workers and the customer happy, then it will be a foundation for a successful business."A firm that consistently fulfills its social obligations makes itself a desirable member of the community...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMERY Recruitment and selection is a customized process of each individual organization. As business process differs from organization to organization, different organization fill up different types of employee needs. So the process to build the employee pool and finally making the best choice from candidates differs a lot. The report is presenting a portfolio of five different types of organizations, which manifest the customized process suitable for each organization. For example: British American Tobacco Bangladesh (BATB) do not take written test, but Damco take written test for different levels of candidates. According to Shahriar Mahmood of Reckitt Benckiser (RB) ‘there is nothing called first impression in HR’ but in Standard Chartered Bank (SCB); as it is a financial institution, it has to choose employee who are presentable, so first impression is very important at interview. Damco out source much of their root level job but British American Tobacco (BAT), Standard Chartered Bank (SCB), Unilever, and Reckitt Benckiser (RB) do not out-source job, on the other hand; SCB take many of their employees on contract based. So recruitment and selection follow the required business process of different organizations. In this report we have presented our collected data from both primary and secondary sources, and analyzed them to present the information in a flow, that can clarify the individual characteristic of different organizations and as well as their recruitment...
