...Introduction The aims of this assignment are to measure the outcome of students’ learning in terms of knowledge acquired, understanding developed and skills or abilities gained in relation to the achievement of the learning outcomes. Learners are expected to use their acquired knowledge to prepare a business report of not less than 3,500 words, clarity of ideas and presentation would attract extra marks as well as use of own initiative and real and imaginative scenarios to demonstrate understanding of the course. COURSE WORK- PROCTER & GAMBLE Zeroing in on the first moment of truth Procter & Gamble, a world leader in consumer packaged goods, sells nearly 300 brands in more than 160 countries. It has sales of $40 billion a year and 130 manufacturing sites around the world. P&G measures consumer satisfaction at two levels, which it calls the two “moments of truth.” The first moment of truth occurs when the consumer reaches the shelf and finds that the desired product is, or is not, available. This is a critical moment, because if the product is not immediately available, the consumer usually moves on to buy a rival product. The second moment of truth depends on the buyer’s satisfaction when consuming the product. This, too, has a crucial impact on consumer loyalty, but is beyond the scope of this case study. Detailed consumer surveys in July 2000 told P&G that in 55% of cases (75% for promotional items), consumers were not satisfied when they looked...

...OF BEHAVIOUR The influences of social e-shopping in enhancing young women’s online shopping behaviour Charles Dennis, Brunel University, UK* Alesia Morgan, UltraSoft Technologies Ltd., UK Len Tiu Wright, Business School, De Montfort University, UK Chanaka Jayawardhena, Loughborough University Business School, UK Abstract The background to this paper is that shoppers, particularly women, are motivated by a variety of different reasons, including socialising and enjoyment. Despite the growth of Internet retailing (e-retailing), these social needs are largely unmet in e-shopping. In the high street, women do most of the shopping but online shopping (e-shopping) tends to be dominated by male shoppers. At the same time, social networking is growing fast and is especially popular amongst young females. The purpose of this paper is to draw on prior research about why people shop in order to explore the concept of social e-shopping, based on combining e-shopping with social networking. We propose that shoppers, particularly young females, will prefer social e-shopping to traditional e-shopping. We carried out a qualitative study for our propositions with a comparison experiment, semistructured questionnaire and focus group, to compare a traditional e-shopping website with a social e-shopping one. The findings reveal that young women prefer social e-shopping sites. Both utilitarian and hedonic young adult female shoppers found social e-shopping enjoyable and useful. However, although...

...PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A PARTNER Art. 1810. COMMENT: Property Rights of a Partner (a) Example of “specific partnership property”: A and B each contributed a car for the partnership. The two cars are specific partnership property. (b) Example of “interest in the partnership” — the partner’s share of the profits and losses (without mentioning any particular or specific property). (c) Note that the right to participate in the management is a very valuable property right. Art. 1811. COMMENT: (1) Co-Ownership in Specific Partnership Property The law says “a partner is co-owner with his partners of specific partnership property.” What does this mean? ANS.: Simply that they are co-owners (tenants in common with proportional, sometimes equal) right thereto. However, the rules on co-ownership do not necessarily apply; the rules on “co-ownership in partnership” are applicable. Said rules are detailed in the subsequent paragraphs. (See Commissioner’s Note, 7 ULA, Sec. 25, pp. 32-33). (2) Rights of a Partner in Specific Partnership Property (Example: a car contributed by one of the partners to the partnership) (a) In general, he has an equal right with his partners to possess the car but only for partnership purposes (not for other purposes, except if the others expressly or impliedly give their consent). (b) He cannot assign his right in the car (except if all the other partners assign their rights in the same property). [NOTE: If this rule is violated, the assignment is VOID...

...negative implications of the new ruling that the federal government could not require states that receive federal funds under the Medicaid program to participate in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's (PPACA's) Medicaid expansion. Several shortcomings like limited provider payment and associated patient access barriers have been observed in Medicaid that make its adoption not a good idea. However, families below the poverty line can benefit. In July 2012, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The Court thus ended one phase in the political and legal battle over health reform. Yet in doing so, it opened a new front. In a notable departure from post–New Deal commerce clause jurisprudence, the Court ruled that the federal government could not require states that receive federal funds under the Medicaid program to participate in the PPACA’s Medicaid expansion. In effect, the Court made states’ participation in the PPACA’s Medicaid expansion voluntary — a possibility that neither the act’s supporters nor its opponents seriously entertained during the long legislative battle of 2009 and 2010. The full implications of these changes in federal-state relations remain to be seen. For states, the ruling brings both new flexibility and new accountability. Conservative legislators who have traditionally railed against Medicaid while accepting large subsidies will now have to actively accept or reject...
