...advertising push. By the late 60's, mothers were more attentive to nutrition and kids became pickier about what they liked to eat. “Michele Ferrero, the creator of the Kinder brand, took these two factors to heart and came up with a balance between the two – the Kinder Chocolate bar created with kids in mind because it is divided into small individually wrapped portions, allowing mothers to feel comfortable with what they are giving their children.” (4) Today, the Kinder brand is well-known all across Europe and is expanding rapidly around the world, recognized for the variety, quality and creativity of its products. Built on 40 years of history, Kinder remains a forward-looking brand, confident that its core values are not limited by time or geography. “Our mission...

...In the rest of the world it is known as Kinder Joy. This product is also developing quickly outside Europe due to its unique packaging. It is another egg containing a surprise - and therefore a member of the Kinder Sorpresa family - but it is decidedly more technological. It is made up of two plastic valves, half of which contains the food which you eat with the spoon provided while the other half contains the surprise. These two parts are joined and when opened make a noise that children love, a “clack” that heralds the surprise they will find inside. This extremely modern and amusing product was born of highly specific needs which in this case consisted in taking Kinder Sorpresa to those parts of the world where distance and climate might have hampered its distribution (chocolate shell, packaged in an aluminium film cannot be sold in hot and humid countries). Instead, Kinder Joy withstands humidity and high temperatures and is a hyper-protected and hygienic product suitable for emerging markets such as Africa, South America, India, or places where the climate is not conducive to chocolate. Here the packaging is technically highly advanced and the content integrates perfectly with its packaging… Exceptional research was carried out on barrier, multi-layer and thermoformed materials. Our objective was to protect the product totally. You can easily imagine the difference in terms of costs between Kinder joy and the egg wrapped in aluminium. The format is identical but they are...

The company is owned and managed by the founding Ferrero family. (Nutella.com, nd). 1. External Environment The Environment encapsulates many different influences, which can be difficult to analyze. The difficulty can be to identify: the environment diversity; the speed of change as managers feel that the pace of technological change and the speed of global communication change faster than even before; the last difficulty is complexity. Ferrero in order to face these difficulties can use different tools, such as: PESTEL (Political, Economical, Socio-Cultural, Technological, Environmental, Legal); Porter’s five forces; Market segmentation. In order to analyse: the macro-environment, competitors and market. (Johnson and Scholes, 2002, pp98). 2.1 Macro-Environment Macro-Environmental...

...THE INFLUENCE OF PIAGET’S THEORY IN MY LIFE Jean Piaget was a Swiss philosopher and psychologist who created the Four Stages of Cognitive Development, which are Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational and Formal Operational. He believed when humans are in their infancy, childhood, and adolescence stage, they try to understand the world through experiments. During cognitive development, children actively construct knowledge as they manipulate and explore their world. By the time children become adults, they are able to put in practice everything they learnt and apply the skills they need to live in the world. Everyone fits perfectly into the Piaget's Four Stages of Cognitive Development. The first stage is Sensorimotor. As the name implies, sensorimotor helps the infant to understand all its senses. This stage ranges from birth to 2 years old. I don't remember much of this stage because my brain wasn't fully developed, but probably I knew every time I cried my mom would come to feed me, give me attention or even change me. During this stage, my mom said that I liked to play with anything that would make noise, and everything colorful would catch my eyes easily. As any other kid, anything that ended up on my hands would be used to bang somewhere, until I got tired and threw it away. My parents would pick it up a couple of times, and then give me another toy, so I could be entertained for a few more minutes. I also discovered that not everything that I put into my mouth...

...How To Use Chopsticks Will you eat a sandwich with a spoon or use a fork to have an ice cream? No? Why? Because every food, to taste better, must be consumed using the right vessels and cutlery! Same is the case with Chinese and Japanese foods which seem to taste better when eaten with chopsticks. The origin of chopsticks can be dated back to China, around 3000 to 5000 years ago. Widely used in Japan, China, Korea and Vietnam to eat all kinds of foods, most of the chopsticks are made of bamboo while some are also made of ivory, plastic, silver and jade. They are considered as extensions of the fingers and are considered much better than spoons and forks in their usage. Although the respective Asian communities use chopsticks as effortlessly and naturally as Europeans use forks, it doesn’t really come that easily for the rest of us. Despite the fact that most of the world thinks of them as impossible feats, chopsticks actually provides your hands with a physical affinity with the food — something that our quintessential spoons, forks and knives can never boast of. Having said that, we also acknowledge that eating with chopsticks could require some training and hence the next section that talks about how to use chopsticks. Eating With Chopsticks * Clasp one chopstick between your thumb and middle finger. The chopstick must be in such a position that it is placed at the base of your thumb and at the lower joint of the middle finger. While the bottom chopstick remains intact...

...“As You Like It” – Scene Summaries Act 1 ------------------------------------------------- Scene 2 Plot synopsis: Rosalind is sad because of the banishment of her father, who is cheered up by Celia as they both converse about love, nature and fortune. Touchstone finds himself commenting on their conversation, hinting the corruption of the courts. Le Beau brings the news of the wrestling match between Charles and Orlando, alerting them that Charles had just fatally injured others already. Le Beau builds suspense and alarms the women and forces them to go and watch, and maybe try and stop the fight. After the court and the wrestlers gather around, we see Rosalind and Celia try to prevent Orlando not to fight Charles. Orlando isn’t worried by losing because he has nothing to lose, but Rosalind and Celia support him and he, somehow, defeats Charles. Duke Frederick is not happy to find out that Orlando is the son of the man he banished. Rosalind and Celia attend to Orlando, but for some reason, he can’t reply – possibly nervous or fatigued. He then realises that he has fallen in love will Rosalind. Le Beau chimes in to say that he should escape Duke Frederick’s wickedness and leave the courts. Who is on stage: * Rosalind and Celia * Enters: Touchstone, then Le Beau * Enters: Duke Frederick, Lords, Orlando, Charles and Attendants * Exits: Duke Frederick, Lords, Attendants, Touchstone and Le Beau * Exits: Rosalind and Celia, and then Le Beau Key lines: ...

THESEUS Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour Draws on apace. Four happy days bring in Another moon. But oh, methinks how slow This old moon wanes! She lingers my desires, 5 Like to a stepdame or a dowager Long withering out a young man’s revenue. THESEUS Our wedding day is almost here, my beautiful Hippolyta. We’ll be getting married in four days, on the day of the new moon. But it seems to me that the days are passing too slowly—the old moon is taking too long to fade away! That old, slow moon is keeping me from getting what I want, just like an old widow makes her stepson wait to get his inheritance. HIPPOLYTA Four days will quickly steep themselves in night. Four nights will quickly dream away the time. And then the moon, like to a silver bow 10 New bent in heaven, shall behold the night Of our solemnities. HIPPOLYTA No, you’ll see, four days will quickly turn into four nights. And since we dream at night, time passes quickly then. Finally the new moon, curved like a silver bow in the sky, will look down on our wedding celebration. THESEUS Go, Philostrate, Stir up the Athenian youth to merriments. Awake the pert and nimble spirit of mirth. Turn melancholy forth to funerals. 15 The pale companion...
