...Introduction H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB, now operating as “H&M” is a retail-clothing company, launched in 1947 by Erling Persson who just came back from United States, bringing the idea of selling fashion products for women at a low price from oversea.

...especially in this time frame that we are living in. this is where the popular clothing brand H&M comes in. since Erling Persson acknowledges that the society is dependant and are up to date with the latest fashion trends and he has took upon himself to develop clothing to make the consumers a victim of “vanity slaves” Hennes & Mauritz which has been known H&M for decades is a very popular retail clothing company known for its trendy fashions targeted for women, men, teenagers and children. The company's founder Erling Persson traveled in 1946 and came up with the business idea which was to offer fashionable clothing at great prices. In 1947 he opened his first shop in Vasters, Sweden called "Hennes”, where he exclusively sold women's clothing. "Hennes" is Swedish and means "for her" and/or "hers". 1968 clothing retailer Mauritz Widforss took over, which led to the inclusion of a menswear collection in the offer and the name change to "Hennes & Mauritz" (H & M). In 1998, the company succeeded her initials "HM" which was the combination of both names. The company offers great items for everyone, that’s the major result of their success. The multimillion company has gained so much popularity that they have managed to branch out 2776 stores in 43 countries around the world. The company has successfully globalised their brand but they’ve done achieved this the cruel and easy way. H&M is one of the most successful affordable clothing companies worldwide. The question is how this...

...Ricky Cheers H&M in India In 2015, H&M opened its first store in India. The emerging market of India was an obvious choice for them. The Swedish retailer is actually behind its competitors of taking advantage of the Indian market. H&M opened its first store in 1947. It was located in Västerås, Sweden and specialized in only women’s clothing. The store was just called Hennes then. Hennes means “hers” in Swedish. In 1964, Hennes opened its first store outside of Sweden, in Norway. In 1968, the company’s founder Erling Persson bought a hunting apparel retailer called Mauritz Widforss. Soon they would start to sell men’s and children's clothing. The name was changed to Hennes and Mauritz and today we have H&M. After the first store opened outside of Sweden in 1964, H&M started to expand more into Europe. Next was Denmark, Switzerland, Germany and the United Kingdom. In 1976, the first store outside of Scandinavia was opened in London. In 1998, online shopping became available for H&M. The company did not expand outside of Europe until 2000, when it came to the U.S. Today there are over 400 stores in the U.S. alone. Worldwide there are over 3,700 stores in 61 different countries and it is the second largest global retailer. H&M specializes in “fast fashion”. Fast fashion is a term used by fashion retailers to express that designs move from the catwalk quickly in order to capture current fashion trends. Fast fashion clothing collections are based...

...All in the Family a show which aired from 1971-1983 was one of the most important and influential series that aired during the time frame mentioned above. This show did not shy away from addressing controversial or socially relevant issues. MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) aired from 1972-1983, this show was revolved around the 4077th MASH which was one of the surgical units stationed in Korea during the Korean War (1950-1953). The staff of a Korean War field hospital used humor to keep their sanity in the face of the horror of war. The issues that All in the Family addressed were religious, political, social and personal issues. Archie Bunker one of the main characters, was better known as a bigot, a prejudice blue collar backlasher against liberal and permissive values. He treated his wife Edith with no respect, always argued wit his daughter, and verbally assaulted his son-in-law. MASH addressed political and social issues. This show was mostly liberal and this show often criticized politicians who mired the United States in Vietnam (Davidson, Delay, Heyrman, Lytle, & Stoff pg. 932). Both All in the Family and MASH were condemned by the religious right because they believed that shows played a major role in corrupting the family values. Religious right considered the shows of the 1970s to being permissive, having positive portrayal of unmarried women, premarital sex along with drug use, profanity, homosexuality, nudity, violence and prejudices. The religious right was...

...MASH The first thing I noticed was the awesome theme music. I remember seeing reruns of M*A*S*H as a kid and turning the channel immediately because the opening theme made it sound like a drama and not something funny. So when the lyrics of the song are sung at the beginning of the film it catches me off guard. “Suicide is painless”, is one of the stupidest lyrics I think I've ever heard but I think that was the point of director Robert Altman. I later did some research and found out the song was written by the director's 14 year old son. Something else I noticed right off the bat was how familiar a lot of the faces were but I couldn't put a name on any of them until the credits rolled, Donald Sutherland, Elliot Gould, and Robert Duvall being the most familiar. Up until a few years ago I had no idea M*A*S*H was a movie before it was a show. So when we were assigned the film I had expectations of seeing some of the cast members of the series. Apparently I was wrong because I didn't see any whatsoever. From what I've read, the show is based on the movie, and the movie is based on the book so all the characters are exactly the same. I have to say this. Hawkeye and Trapper John are now two of my favorite movie characters of all time. Sutherland and Gould played their respective parts so nonchalantly that you forget they're both actually trained surgeons in the middle of a very bloody war. I have to admit the zaniness of the film touched a bit too close to something I would...

...differentperspective with regard to their responsibilities. More than most Weaver employees, Higgins has athorough understanding of Japanese culture and expectations and is able toidentify with the Japanese perspective. Prescott was notsensitive to the common Japanese tradition of lifetime employment(Moriguchi & Ono, 2 4), while Higgins did not discuss his concerns orplans with Prescott. Prescott takes acompany-centered view with an American emphasis while Higgins takes anemployee-centered view with a Japanese emphasis. The advantage to this approach is that it provides universal policiesaround the world so that as managers move from one country to another, theydo not have to learn an entirely new set of policies.
