...has been growing and changing drastically over the past decade, a shocking 94 percent of marketing executives said that they are likely to spend more on social media over the next 3 years (Burton, 2011, p. 491). This shows that many marketers agree that social media is important for their business, but it is important to understand why. Some people might think you can still depend on television commercials or magazine pages for advertisements, but the truth is that the internet is a huge part of our lives now and it deals with everything we do every day. Also in the past decade, the old version of the internet has completely transformed due to the introduction of social media. The internet has turned into “an interactive and multidimensional Web”; now instead of just being for information, it is also used for influence the costumer (Simula, 2013, p. 124). The reason this is important is because it shows why the internet is so influential on our daily lives and why marketing executives should remember that. A lot of the research shows that social media is becoming more and more popular, and it also shows that much of marketing now uses social media to help the business. To describe how popular social media is for consumers, Kunz (2013) says “one-third of Internet users report comments by consumers provided on the social media sites have been influential when they make a purchase decision” (p. 62). One-third of Internet users is a large amount, and that number is probably increasing...

...customer base and revenues. This is mainly due to the increasing dominance of the Internet as a means of disseminating information and news. The newspaper publishing industry in the United States is going through a difficult phase with declining revenues. Both subscription revenues and advertising revenues have been steadily declining. One of the main causes for this downfall is that readers are using the Internet to get news content for free and are reluctant to pay. The global economic recession has cut down the advertising revenues for newspapers. Cost of publishing has increased and a majority of newspapers have increased prices. This has further distanced consumers from traditional newspapers and made online news websites more popular. The main purpose of this report is to present measures for The Chronicle Gazette to boost its circulation and increase profits.

...What is an ‘academic reference’? An academic reference is a book or journal article that has been “peer-reviewed” by academic specialists in the particular field. Academic references are considered to have more legitimacy and credibility than popular sources for this reason. Popular sources such as newspapers, social media, websites and blogs are not academic references and may have no claims to legitimacy or credibility. Why is academic referencing important at university? At university we are trying to develop critical thinking in students. Not “critical” in terms of negative thinking, but in terms of being able to analyse information and make informed comments about how valid the views expressed in the source may be. By using academic references you show that you can compare sources of legitimate information. Make sure you have a majority of academic references in your assignments. While you may use and reference popular sources, make sure most of your references are academic references. Ask the lecturer if you have any concerns or comments about either referencing or any aspect of your study, including after you receive marked assignments. ____________________________________________________________________________ Common types of academic references used in The Business School at UB. 1. Citation of a reference in your assignment (“in-text citation”). Method: author(s) and date of publication. Example: Retrenchment has become a part of contemporary...

...Value investing is the strategy of purchasing an asset which is trading at a significant discount from its determined intrinsic value. It has long been regarded as a low risk method of providing outstanding investment returns (Klarman 2001). The investment strategy was described by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd in their book, Security Analysis (1940, p. 724). Over subsequent decades the investment approach has evolved utilizing varying fundamental methodologies but always maintaining the principle of investing when a discount to intrinsic value exists. Graham and Dodd (1940, p. 368) referred to this principle as the 'margin of safety'. This essay will explore the various methodologies, expand on the 'margin of safety' concept and discover the factors that have led to the success of the exponents of value investing. Bierig’s (2000) assessment of the Graham and Dodd approach indicated that a value investor doesn’t just follow share market fads but instead ‘searches for stocks selling for less than their intrinsic value’ and after purchasing, waits for market recognition that corrects this discrepancy. Athanassakos (2011b) has illustrated that a search for undervalued stocks is the initial process undertaken. He maintains that these stocks tend to be ‘avoided by large institutional investors’ and are not the ‘glamour stocks everyone wants to own’. Graham (1973, p. 211) describes two methods of searching for fundamentally undervalued stocks; companies selling at a low price to...

...satisfaction, customer orientation etc. Even though there might be an overlap with the latter terms, this short, friendly note will define MO more precisely and set it in the context of top academic research, especially since 1990. Origins: The Marketing Concept Some highly popular textbooks claim MO is synonymous with the marketing concept. For example, one of most popular marketing texts notes in the first chapter that “the marketing concept is often referred to as ‘market orientation’”. This might have been the case till 1990, but ever since, we distinguish between the two terms. Drucker (1954) may have been one of the first theorists to suggest that creating satisfied customers was the only valid definition of business purpose. Webster (1988) summarized the marketing concept by noting that “executives must put the interests of the customer at the top of the firm’s priorities.” You may like to think of it as a kind of a philosophy, a belief, an ideal, a policy statement, or even a normative statement. Market Orientation In 1990, two seminal papers were published in the Journal of Marketing, which defined and operationalized MO by creating two scales. A scale in marketing (or for that matter in business management literature) is used to measure abstract-seeming concepts. We often say: some firms trust a particular firm. How do you measure trust? We measure trust by creating a scale, which consists of certain items – statements with which a respondent agrees to varying extent...

...International Journal of Computer Science and Business Informatics IJCSBI.ORG An Efficient Connection between Statistical Software and Database Management System Sunghae Jun Department of Statistics, Cheongju University Chungbuk 360-764 Korea ABSTRACT In big data era, we need to manipulate and analyze the big data. For the first step of big data manipulation, we can consider traditional database management system. To discover novel knowledge from the big data environment, we should analyze the big data. Many statistical methods have been applied to big data analysis, and most works of statistical analysis are dependent on diverse statistical software such as SAS, SPSS, or R project. In addition, a considerable portion of big data is stored in diverse database systems. But, the data types of general statistical software are different from the database systems such as Oracle, or MySQL. So, many approaches to connect statistical software to database management system (DBMS) were introduced. In this paper, we study on an efficient connection between the statistical software and DBMS. To show our performance, we carry out a case study using real application. Keywords Statistical software, Database management system, Big data analysis, Database connection, MySQL, R project. 1. INTRODUCTION Every day, huge data are created from diverse fields, and stored in computer systems. These big data are extremely large and complex [1]. So, it is very difficult...

...Nathan Dunlap DU5416177 MGT195 Business Policy and Strategy Strategic Planning at The Chronicle Gazette Strategic Planning at The Chronicle Gazette 1. Introduction The Chronicle Gazette is a leading newspaper in the United States with a circulation of 225,000 customers. Over the past few years, it has been facing a decline in its customer base and revenues. This is mainly due to the increasing dominance of the Internet as a means of disseminating information and news. Susan Feinman, the publisher of The Chronicle Gazette, noted the criticalness of the problem and worried this will become the 21st century equivalent of buggy whip manufacturers. The company is not looking for band-aid solutions but an insight of all the challenges and to work out an effective business strategy. As The Chronicle Gazette has been a steady decline in subscriptions and revenues, this report will present the strategic vision of where the newspaper publishing industry stands today and where it is headed over the next decade. 2. State of the newspaper publishing industry today The U.S. newspaper industry is in the midst of a historic restructuring, buffeted by a deep recession that is battering crucial advertising revenues, long-term structural challenges as readership to free news and entertainment on the Internet, and heavy debt burdens weighing down some major media companies.

...State, Nigeria. He has published articles in refereed international and local journals on Nigerian video film, fiction and globalization, educational drama and theatre, film and literature and performance studies. His directing credits include the video films: Eleven Forty Five (2005), Agbalagba Akan (2007), Ikekun (2009), Ojiji Iwa (2010) and, Emi Mi, Emi Re (2010) which was nominated for Best African Indigenous Director at ZAFAA 2010 AWARDS held in London. Dr Olayiwola is highly interested in researches on film theory and praxis. Abstract The origin of video film genre in Nigeria is shrouded in conflicting views and contentions. Indigenous film historians and critics are yet to agree on who could be credited as the initiator of the video revolution in Nigeria. While some available documents trace this genre to Kenneth Nnebue’s Living in Bondage produced in 1992, arguments at other quarters present the Yoruba filmmakers as the pioneers of the bourgeoning video film industry in Nigeria, and thus accuse others of subverting history in favor of their region. This paper, therefore, investigates the contributions of the Yoruba travelling theatre practitioners to the emergence of what is now known as the Nigerian video film industry, and concludes that while Living in Bondage may have popularized the genre, the Yoruba popular theatre practitioners initiated video film production in Nigeria. 183 The Journal of Pan African Studies,...
