...- The most important aspects of a strong brand is the: brand uniqueness, the target market and the community help. If the brand and its products are unique and can’t be replaced with substitute products, it will ensure a beneficial investment and a long lasting company. If the target market suits the people the investor sees as his target market and can relate to the most it will also persuade the investors decision, for example: a 25 year old male isn’t going to invest in a baby food company because he can’t relate to the market which will be mother, he will much better relate to a beer franchise. Community help also play a big role as a company that helps its community will gain a better, more positive public image and investors want a company with a good public...

...ANALYZE OF MATERIALS DUE TO THEIR FLOW BEHAVIORS ABSTRACT In this article, four different samples’ flow behaviors are analyzed; either they are Newtonian or Non-Newtonian materials. Parallel plate rheometer is preferred to adjust the shear stress and shear rate relationship of the specimens at 25°C and 70°C and test results are evaluated with the plotted flow and viscosity curves. Then, samples are categorized due to their time dependence or shear stress dependence. 1. INTRODUCTION A Newtonian fluid is a fluid whose stress versus rate of strain curve is linear and passes through the origin. The constant of proportionality is known as the viscosity. A simple equation to describe Newtonian fluid behavior is (1) Where; τ is the shear stress exerted by the fluid [Pa] μ is the fluid viscosity - a constant of proportionality [Pa·s] is the velocity gradient perpendicular to the direction of shear [s−1] For a Newtonian fluid, the viscosity depends only on temperature and pressure (and also the chemical composition of the fluid if the fluid is not a pure substance), not on the forces acting upon it. Water is a typical Newtonian fluid. In a Non-Newtonian fluid, the relation between the shear stress and the strain rate is nonlinear. Therefore a constant coefficient of viscosity cannot be defined and they can even be shear –stress dependent or time-dependent. Shear stress dependent materials are divided into two groups. In shear thickening materials...

... CASE 8 ROYAL DUTCH SHELL : FUELING THE WORLD INTRODUCTION Almost 200 years ago, a London historic dealer began importing sea shell from the Far East to supply a fashion for exotic décor. Marcus Samuel enterprise arranged the foundation for a thriving import and export business later run by his sons, Marcus Juniorand Sam. At this time oil was largely used in lighting and lubricants and the industry was based in Baku and Russia with it is large reserve of high quality oil and strategic natural harbour. The arrival of the internal combustion engine in 1886 to a demand for transport fuel. Building on their shipping expertise the Samuel brothers commissioned a fleet of steamers to carry oil in bulk. They revolutionised oil transport with the maiden voyage oftheir first tanker, Murex. In 1892 murex was the first ever tanker to transit the Suez Canal. The brother company was name the shell transport and trading company in 1897. Itused a mussel shell as it logo. Shell transport activity in the East combined with a search for new sources of oilto reduce dependence on Russia brought it into contact with Royal Dutch petroleum. Thetwo company join force in 1903 to protect themselves against the dominance of standard oil. They fully merged into the Royal Dutch Shell group in 1907. Shell changed its logoto the scallop shell or pectin which is used today. By the end of the 1920 Shell was the world leading oil company producing 11% of the world crude and owning 10% of it tanker tonnage....

...Abstract The first time that phone hacking scandal caught the attention from the general public was in November 2005, when Prince William’s knee injury, which was only known to few cronies, was exposed as news by News of the World. Former NOtW royal editor Clive Goodman was accused of hiring private detective Glenn Mulcaire for phone hacking activities. The major victims were celebrities, politicians, and members of the British Royal family. Later in 2006, both Goodman and Mulcaire were sentenced. The chief editor Andy Coulson then resigned from the newspaper. However, in July 2011, it was revealed that the phone of missing school girl Milly Dowler had also been hacked by a journalist from the News of the World. The messages in the voice mail box had been erased, which gave false hope survival to police and the girl’s family and potentially destroyed valuable evidences about the girl’s abduction and murderer. Within more and more , resulted in a public outcry against the News International. On the 8th of July, after the British Parliament’s urgent debate regarding the affair, British Prime Minister David Cameron announced that a public inquiry would look in to the scandal and that further investigations needed to be conducted. Due to advertisement boycotts and unrelenting public pressure, News of the World ended its 168 years publication on 10th of July. Eight days later, former News of the World reporter Sean Hoare was found dead. He was the first to allege phone hacking...

...Chapter One INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The concept of quality has existed for many years, though its meaning has changed dramatically and evolved over time. In the early twentieth century, quality management meant inspecting products to ensure that they met specifications. In the 1940s, during World War II, quality became more statistical in nature. Statistical sampling techniques were used to evaluate quality, and quality control charts were used to monitor the production process. In the 1960s, with the help of so-called “quality expert,” the concept took on a broader meaning. Quality began to be viewed as something that encompassed the entire organization, not only the production process. Since all functions were responsible for product quality and all shared the costs of poor quality, quality was seen as a concept that affected the entire organization. Before the dramatic change, quality was still viewed as something that needed to be inspected and corrected. To survive, companies had to make major changes in their quality programs. Many hired consultants and instituted quality training programs for their employees. A new concept of quality was emerging. One result is that quality began to have a strategic meaning. Today, successful companies understand that quality provides a competitive advantage. They put the customer first and define quality as meeting or exceeding customer expectations. Competition based on quality has grown in importance and has generated...
