...Essay#1 During my last high school semester, I began experiencing chronic depression, which had a profound impact on every part of my life. As I recovered, I made it a priority to aid others who were also suffering from mental illnesses. Soon, I realized that mental illness was significantly neglected in my native Bangladesh. When I confessed that I had been diagnosed with depression, my parents, two of the most modern people I know, suggested that they did not raise me to be so weak. Although I aimed to actively tackle this stigma in Bangladesh, I realized that having moved to Canada and without professional training in health, I was not prepared to spearhead such a movement.

...I. The positioning of United Cereal (UC) a. The vision of United Cereal We accompany you to embrace every delicious and hopeful morning. You inspire us to pursue forever innovative and vigorous winning. ------- United Cereal In a study (James C. Collins, Jerry I. Porras, 1996), James C. Collins and Jerry I. Porras proposed that a well-conceived vision consists of two major components: core ideology and envisioned future. Core ideology defines what we stand for and why we exist. The envisioned future is what we aspire to become, to achieve, to create- something that will require significant change and progress to attain. 1. Core ideology Core ideology consists of two distinct parts: core values and core purpose. While the strategies and practices will adapt to the changing environment endlessly, core values and core purposes remain fixed in the companies which enjoy enduring success. As a set of guiding principles, core values are the essential and enduring tenets of companies and have intrinsic value and importance to those inside the organization. UC’s two time-tested values-customer and market oriented, and constant innovation- which can be summarized from the company phrases, are embodied in its vision: ● Customer and market oriented (“You inspire us”): It is customers who lastingly gave UC inspiration to do innovation and led UC to become a pioneer in the use of consumer research and focus group.
