...Outline the ways in which the media in Britain are regulated. Is there enough regulation? The history of mass communication is rather short in the broad context of the world’s progress. Despite the fact that in all times people felt the urge to share their significant experiences in more durable than verbal form – like the prehistoric paintings on cave walls and invention of writing by Sumerians later – relatively modern forms of communication, reaching large audiences, originated only in the past five hundred years. The importance of sharing information and even more – deciding what to share and what to withhold – was understood from the moment people learned to write. As Tom Clancy put it: ‘Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people’ and that is why since the beginning of times that precious knowledge was divided only between the chosen few: from high priests of the ancient civilizations to the nobility and servants of God in the middle ages; from the dictators like Stalin and Hitler to modern moguls like Rupert Murdoch. In our times mass media became a super-power: it has a colossal impact on society as a whole and its political, economic, cultural constituents, therefore it must be governed and regulated aiming to ensure a freedom to communicate, diversity and universal provision as well as secure communicative and cultural ends chosen by the people for themselves (McQuail, 2010). The obligatory argument that always emerges...

...Koc Holding: Arcelik White Goods Group: 10B The International Expansion of Arcelik started in 1980s and the export department was established. With the reduction in tariffs on trade between Turkey and The European Community, the interest in exports increased significantly. After the study of the market reach, Arcelik decided upon Western Europe as being the most appropriate to start international business. An added dimension was to learn from a healthy competition from the joint venture of the German giants Bosch & Siemens. Since the Turkish Government has already reduced the import tariff interest to nil, Arcelik’s domestic market was vulnerable to competition from Bosch & Siemens-the largest household appliance makers in Western Europe and Germany. Arcelik’s most successful European market-United Kingdom- was established in 1989. This was chosen keeping in mind that UK was a price sensitive market with no domestic domination, thus empowering Arcelik with the opportunity to capture market share through volatile consumer purchasing power. The lack of domestic brand dominance provided a chance for Arcelik to establish customer-base and loyalty by providing good quality appliances at cheaper prices. Two-thirds of the refrigerator sales attributed to table-top refrigerators. The retail prices (including taxes) for these were £150, and on sales in 1997 of approximately 200,000 units would yield revenue around 30mn. After an expenditure on advertising 0.6mn, Arcelik is expected...

This strategy aims to tap latent demand for products within a broader international market.Billabong International reported...

While studying about processes and the tactics being used by the companies’ one also has to pay importance to the external environment in terms of the economy, government and social and cultural factors that play a very important part in the decision making during the internationalization process.
