...envious and suffers more after a visit with her. Her husband seems quite content with the life they live. Works hard but also knows his wife wants more. He came home one evening with a surprise she thought she would be thrilled with but got the opposite. He had tickets to go to a very big event at the palace that not many clerks are invited too. Instead of happiness she got upset worrying about what she would wear. Her husband then asks her what it will cost for a dress for the ball and it just so happens it is what he has saved up to buy himself a gun to go hunting. Wanting his wife to be happy he lets her have the money for a new gown. As the ball gets closer she is upset again and does not want to go because she does not have jewelry. She thinks she will look poor and be humiliated. Her husband then comes up with the idea that she should call her friend (the one she avoids because she is jealous) and ask her...

...the business to reduce costs. It could mean coming out of less profitable markets, discounting less profitable lines and making some employees redundant in order to balance the books. Amazon is a ecommerce company born in 1994. Jeff Bezos created Amazon.com, Inc. in 1994 , which he labeled as “Earth’s Biggest Bookstore.” The ecommerce company went online in 1995 and soon expanded into other media, including DVDs, VHS, CDs, MP3s, and eventually a wide range of other products, including toys, electronics, furniture and apparel. As such, the tagline soon changed to “Earth’s Largest Selection.” But books were only the beginning of Bezo’s up-and-coming enterprise. Amazon.com went public in 1997. Bezos planned on operating at a loss for 4-5 years. It was not until 2001 that Amazon.com posted a net profit at a minuscule one-cent per share. Yet, despite its bizarre business strategy, Amazon.com claimed over 1.4 million customers after...

It is like a homework task that a good advertising/marketing/sales person would always carry out before (and after) implementing the said product's advertising/marketing strategy. By collecting data with the help of research methods, the researcher can manage to understand the consumer, what he wants, when he wants it, and how he wants it. Research methodologies, more or less, aim to reveal consumers’ different perceptions of the product, in large part about the way it is advertised. The researcher wants to know how effective the advertisement is on his listeners, where the strategy falls short, and where it can improve. Ultimately, it can be said that the most important task of advertising/marketing research is to increase the sales of the product. This requires a well developed...

...AFT2 Task 3 / Tracer Patient A.1. Evaluation In reviewing the Surgical Patient Tracer Worksheet (SPTW), it was found that a deficiency was noted that stated “History and physical not done within 24 hours of admission (> 72 hours).” This meant that the laparoscopic hysterectomy related History and Physical (H&P) the patient received was used for the abdominal hysterectomy. Plus, it was more than seventy-two hours after being admitted to NCH for surgery that the patient received the H&P for the abdominal hysterectomy. In reviewing the Tracer document and other information, it became clear that there were three violations of Joint Commission Standards (JCS) for PC.01.02.03 which states: “The hospital assesses and reassesses the patient and his or her condition according to defined time frames.” (Joint Commission, 2014 August). The violations are as follows: 1) When bleeding was detected, the doctor made the determination that the less invasive laparoscopic hysterectomy the patient was scheduled to undergo would need to be changed to an abdominal hysterectomy. The tracer shows no evidence that neither the doctor nor anyone else associated with the surgery including the Anesthesiologist asked for a new H&P to determine the possible complications the bleeding might have on the choice of surgical procedure. The violation relates to JCS PC.01.02.03 Element of Performance (EP) 3 which states: “Each patient is reassessed as necessary based on his or her plan for care...

...associated with deciding strategy. The question ‘what is strategy?’ therefore also implies a set of strategic options from which one chooses a course of action to achieve advantage. Strategy is more about a set of options or "strategic choices" than a fixed plan or road map. As I have researched this paper it became apparent that strategy has many facets and means many different things to many different people. Henry Mintzberg addressing the question “what is strategy” argues the word strategy has has a multiplicity of meanings, and in his writing on strategic management theory, Henry Mintzberg from McGill University, identifies five common usages of the term strategy, each beginning with ‘P’.1 1 Mintzberg, H. 1987.

In 2006, global government and capital expenditure exceeded US$1,480 billion making destination branding an important concept that still remains fragmented and unplanned. Dubai, an emirate of the UAE in the Middle East has been chosen as a case study to explain some elements of successful destination branding. This paper aims to apply a framework developed by Balakrishnan to explain areas of caution when competing in an international market where success is also partially dependent on the macro-environment. Design/methodology/approach – The framework was developed by reviewing literature on destination, place, corporate, product portfolio and service branding. The framework was tested using case study methodology. Secondary research was primarily used to develop the case. Findings – There is a strong fit with the model suggesting that destinations can use this as a basis for continuity in strategy even as governments change. Based on the analysis and review; a checklist for destination branding strategy was recommended. Research limitations/implications – Since, this study depends...
