Dentro de los factores económicos en los que entro Jessops, UK entro en una recesión económica durante el 2008-2009, esto entro en un impacto negativo en la industria minorista como la es Jessops, y como resultado negativo se vio afectado los salarios, eso quiere decir que había menos rentabilidad entre los consumidores y menos compras de cámaras (equipo fotográfico, que van desde los compactos hasta cámaras de lente único digital, cámaras réflex), así que las ventas disminuyeron, aunque del lado de los servicios fotográficos se mantuvieron estables. También de lado de la competencia no solo se enfrentaba a los supermercados, aunque no cuentan con la misma experiencia y reputación que Jessops, pero ofrecen precios bajos, y otra de sus mas grandes competencias son las ventas en línea como son Amazon y otras en tiendas en línea fotográficas, como también los compiten con los celulares que son los productos preferidos de los consumidores jóvenes, que son mas propensos a la tecnología digital. 3.

...example of wrongful convictions. This paper will first address the case of Guy Paul Morin, showing where the justice system went wrong. Later, lead on to the ways this problem can be solved and remedies that should be available to people who have become a victim of wrongful convictions. The case of Guy Paul Morin occurred between the 1980’s and the 1990’s. “Morin was accused with the rape and murder of his eight year old neighbour, Christine Jessop, and was convicted in 1992 in Ontario ” (Kaufman, 2001). “He was charged due to the evidence of hair and fibre found on the body of the victim” (Denov & Campbell, 2005). This indicated that there was direct contact between the victim, Jessop, and Morin. This is where the whole situation takes a turn. The forensic scientists that were put to investigate made some mistakes that had a huge impact on the case. “They failed to report that the fibre and hair found on Jessop was contaminated” (Macfarlane, 2006). This now creates the possibility that there was no physical contact between Jessop and Morin. In 1995, he was acquitted of the murder in 1995. This was due to technological advancement that was not available at the time of the murder. “In 1996, the Honourable Fred Kaufman was appointed to be the head of the Commission of Inquiry which was established by the government of Ontario. His duty was to report findings of the case that resulted in Morin...

...Jeannette Fontenot Professor Lowe English 102 July 1, 2013 Legalization of Polygamy In America today, 30,000-100,000 Americans live a life of polygamy (Luscombe 43). The word polygamy comes from the Greek term which is translated to mean “often married.” There are three different forms of polygamy. These three are polygyny, polyandry, and group marriage (Brooks 22). The largest form of polygamy is polygyny (Hassounen 736). This is from the Greek term meaning “many women or wives” (Brooks 22). The wives may live together or they may each have their own house (Hassounen 736). The second form, polyandry which is the same as polygyny except this time the women are the ones marrying multiple men. Third are group marriages. This is when there is a family unit that involves multiple husbands and multiple wives (Brooks 23). One of the largest and easiest forms of polygamy practiced today in America is polygyny. A huge controversial issue in the United States with polygamy is whether or not it should be legalized. This issue has been debated for many years and still to this day is being debated. Polygamy should not be legalized because America then cannot protect the “victims” of Polygamy. America is the “Land of the free.” Immigrants come to America every day to be free from the torture and governments of all the other countries. The law today says that Polygamy is illegal in the United States. Even though there is this law Polygamist still practice this every day. There are ways around...

...article „Developing Sensitivity Across Cultures,“ published in November 11, 2012, Sonia Kolesnikov-Jessop interviews Gilbert Ghostine, who has been a president of Diageo Asia Pacific, a maker of alcoholic beverages, since 2009. He was formerly managing director, Northern Europe, and president, US major markets and held various senior managerial positions in Africa, Asia, Europe and the United States. With 12 questions Ghostine takes the reader on his journey of becoming a manager. ! The first two questions1 discuss Gilbert Ghostine´s role as a manager. Growing up in Lebanon in tough circumstances and dealing with adversity helped him to learn and improve his leadership and decision making. He also says, that he is still learning today, because the leadership journey is an evolution. That is exactly what we discussed in class. Managers learn to manage through job assignments, formal training and education and relationships, which of course includes the environment one is growing up and living in.2 Furthermore, Ghostine describes his view of leadership as a simple strategy that can be articulated, or communicated clearly to people, so that they can be engaged emotionally with the journey and feel valued. In class we said that a good leader acts as a role model and inspires people3; good communication and engagement are important aspects of good leadership. Sonia Kalesnikov-Jessop asks Ghostine in her fourth questions about his experience in managing a work force across cultures...

...confident in undergoing an online transaction. Another advantage of selling items on the internet is that it gives you the opportunity to advertise your or another companies products. Over 80% of the British population uses the internet regularly which opens up a massive market for advertising and for companies to show their products to users of the internet. However, results in increased internet usage have resulted in the decreased need for physical advertising such as: books, magazines and newspapers which have begun to prove more ineffective in advertising products. For example, a double paged spread in a popular newspaper can exceed costs of £10,000 while costs of advertising on a high traffic website may only cost £200 a month. Jessops has recently entered administration and is a perfect example as to how increased internet usage can reduce profits for some firms. Its target market was camera lovers, which prints out photos, sells cameras and a large number of accessories....

...Moreover, the numerous economic institutions required for capitalist accumulation tend to guide the evolution of non-economic (i.e., social, political, and cultural) institutions. Therefore, where capital accumulation is the organizing principle of the economy, “it also gains significant influence on the overall nature of societies and, in certain circumstances, may become the dominant principle of societal organization.” (Jessop 2002, 29). For example, the costs associated with producing and reproducing labor power – a key component in the circuit of capital – has historically relied on a specific gendered division of labor within the family. Indeed, social relations and institutions ostensibly outside the production process are often critical for the reproduction of...

...What is ‘unemployment’, and what are the main features of unemployment policy in the UK today? Unemployment is a difficult concept to define as work itself can take many forms. For example work can be paid, unpaid, domestic or outside of the home. Even though with difficulties of defining a complex topic such as unemployment, Grint (1998, p36) defines unemployment as a situation of “being out of work” but “available for work”. This shows that even though people are willing and able to work they are unable to find paid work. Unemployment is a very concerning economic and social issue affecting the UK today and historically. According to the office national statistics, UK unemployment has increased from 7000 to 2.56 million. This particularly consists of youth unemployment, such as graduates and youths aged 17 plus who now rate at 21.2% of the unemployment rate, and women whose unemployment has also increased (BBC, 2013). As Beveridge states the population of those unemployed were supported through the ‘cradle of the grave’ suggesting that the government was giving unending unemployment benefits regardless of whether the population were actively seeking work. Unemployment policy regarding the workfare gained foothold after WW2 with the emergence of the welfare state. Today this is still the main policy for supporting the unemployed population of Britain. Those out of work now need to show that they are actively seeking work and gaining work experience and skills to make them...

...Procurement and Marketing In International Environment The importance of “Marketing” as a concept, a practice and an orientation as being fundamental to the competitiveness and the survival of almost every organisation cannot be over emphasis in today’s business environment. Marketing is a broad topic that covers a range of aspects, including advertising, public relations, sales, and promotions and the strategies and approach adopted in implementing such tasks can be a deciding factor in the competitiveness and survival of the organisation. According to the American Marketing Association (AMA), marketing is defined as “Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.”[i] It is important because the world has become globalised and from a national stand point economic isolationism has become impossible. Failure to participate in the global market assured a nation of declining economic capability and its citizen of decrease in their standard of living.[ii] Marketing has been and will continue to be a function for the survival of any organisation. Most businesses are expanding and getting into new market areas for economic and strategic reasons and it is becoming increasingly difficult, if not possible, for companies to insulate themselves from the effect of international marketing environment, even if their products are designed...
