...Purchasing Australian Made Goods and its Effect on Our Economy ABSTRACT The purpose of this essay is to analyse the effects of purchasing Australian made goods on the Australian economy in relation to determining the degree to which it is advantageous. The research concludes that in fact it is far more beneficial for consumers to purchase goods unbiasedly. The economic theory of a comparative advantage denotes that a country should aim to specialise its production as to channel resources efficiently and achieve economies of scale nationally. The increasing trend in globalisation has meant an increase in the availability of goods and services increasing our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) through benefiting from increased trade and maxamising on the benefits of fluctuations in the international business cycle. The gains from free trade agreements such as advances in technology and capital equipment have effectively made Australian production far more efficient. In combination, they provide a sufficient argument to conclude that purchasing goods unbiasedly is far healthier for the economy than strictly purchasing Australian made goods. Key Words: Globalisation, Comparative Advantage, Free Trade, Economies of Scale, Economic Growth, Production Introduction As more countries move toward a market capitalist model, a broader range of substitute goods become available, and this increase in choice between substitute goods proves a time consuming issue for the average consumer...

...article center Tuesday, July 24, 2012 mkt plan final mkt plan final 1. Introduction of “Tea Garden” Tea is the most popular non-intoxicating beverage in the world enjoyed by the rich and poor alike. Tea drinking was quite common in every part of the world. The most popular form of value addition is selling branded tea. This involves not only the packing of tea but also blending of other varieties to maintain consistency of taste. To arrive at a blend, expert tea tasters sample hundreds of liquors. Convenient drinks like instant tea (soluble tea powder), tea bags (bags are dipped in hot water), ready to drink (served in cans) and flavored tea (with vanilla, strawberry flavor) are becoming popular in developed countries like the USA and Japan. So we bring our new product “Tea Garden”: The ultimate readymade milk tea in the Bangladeshi market. But this product is quite different from other. Every one offer this kind of product in a powdered form which need to boil in water for 2-3 minutes and then filter it to drink but this is time consuming, other company provide tea bag of raw tea and other market this as a form of cans. But we bring this product in a tea bag with separated chamber for each item that is sugar, milk and tea leaves. This product is completely new in Bangladeshi market. We are going to introduce this product with the slogan “Refreshing Bangladesh”. And we are here to refresh the Bangladesh again with a strong sprite. 1.1 Product Preview This product...

The social system of the school comprising staff, students as well as the Community of parents at large, looks up to the Rector for leadership and an inclusive atmosphere. While the School Development Plan is available in all institutions as an indication of the direction to follow, the Rector needs support and resources to make critical decisions on a day-to-day basis. These decisions may well relate to pedagogical matters as much as to disciplinary cases. Nevertheless, it is also vital to understand that a Head of School cannot do it alone. He/ She will have to resort to some delegation of responsibility and especially know when and how to do it This need for support to the on-site Rectors prompted me to see to it that my Ministry comes up with a reference document covering broad areas of responsibility of Heads of State...
