...This instructional paper informs you of ways to obtain expertise in what we already do in our everyday lives. So, let’s begin and become outstanding and earn your way to the top. Reaching Goals In order to attain expertise in this field, you have to practice and have reachable and precise goals. One know that you are thinking to yourself “what is the goal?” A goal has been identified and thought out in order to be successful, and your expertise improved. The importance of identifying a goal must not be unreachable, but it has to be clear you can do the job. But when you want to sharpen your expertise, it’s important to know when you reach your set goal. “Learning to execute such sequences of actions is called tactical learning. A tactic refers to a method that accomplishes a particular goal” (Anderson, 2010). You can set a new goal after you reach the first goal, and then you can determine what your next step is, but...

...decorative purposes. Our key impediment is cost effectively identifying and reaching our targeted customers. The solution is to: (1) correctly identify Calyx’s optimal target segment and (2) develop a marketing mix that effectively and efficiently reaches this segment. To reach this segment, Calyx should advertise through print media outlets whose readership values Calyx’s unique offering, namely flower longevity and freshness, and continue to pursue in-store promotion opportunities with select home décor retailers and upscale department stores. Problem Analysis Segmenting the market by looking solely at the demographic and geographic characteristics of its existing customers has led Calyx to believe that it can expand its customer base by simply sending catalogs to individuals who share similar demographic profiles. However, the large discrepancy in yields between current customers and those who were obtained from rented mailing lists (Exhibit 2), highlights the fact that Calyx is not effectively reaching the customer segment that most values its services and is unprofitable due to excessive catalog spend. In order to guide the process of identifying Calyx’s target segment and proposing alternative methods to reach this segment, we have constructed the following positioning statement: To those who value flowers for decorative purposes, Calyx is the distributor of flowers and plants that are fresh and long lasting, because of our direct relationships with flower growers and...

...Siddhartha went through life having one goal, to seek enlightenment. Through his journey, he encountered obstacles that he had to overcome. Each one of his different lives that he lived helped him to reach enlightenment. He lived through his father’s beliefs, the beliefs of the Samanas, the luxurious life, and the life off a ferryman. Each one of these journeys taught him something new that he had not known before. One way Siddhartha tried to attain enlightenment was through his father’s beliefs. Siddhartha realized in able to attain enlightenment, he would have to go on his own path and leave his father’s side. His life with the Samanas taught him many skills that helped him later on in life. He learned to fast, wait, and think which made him very unique from most people. After spending many years with the Samanas, he believed it was time to move on to the next phase of his life. In next part of his life, he lost his vision of reaching enlightenment. He spent so much time following the Samanas ways of living and never reached enlightenment. He became trapped in the life of luxury and riches. He learned to be a business man and make money through work. He slept with women and drank wine. All of these little new parts of his life contributed to the loss of his vision towards enlightenment. He met a girl named Kamala which brought out feeling he had never felt towards a person in his life. His relationship with her became intimate and actually helped lead...

...As we saw in the case according to GAAP there are 4 conditions which are persuasive evidence of arrangements exists in which Surely there was a transaction and there was an arrangement further after. Second is seller's price is fixed for the buyer and in the case we can see is the truth. Third in which collection is reasonably assured has been also followed as we can see in the case. And the last one concerning the delivery. As mentioned inside of the case the company though that the product was free on the board and it was not their responsibility to take care of the shipment process and the product. However the case was the opposite as Distributor's employee made sure to change the title and finish the transaction as the product would reach the destination. In this case Biovail should recognize the revenue the moment that the product have left the first destination and the company in order to go to Distributor's destination. That way the responsibility would be not only concern Biovail but also Distributor. 3.it does not influence them in third quarter at least, in any of the case whether they take revenue at the moment the product reaches the destination or they count revenue the moment it leaves the warehouse. In first case it cannot affect the third quarter due to the fact that the company can recognize the revenue no matter what happened with the product further. And in the second case it is also not affected due to the fact that they would not have reached the destination...

... and are not sure whether he lived or died. Dilemma: Bowen’s decision was based on many factors. Some of these factors were personal, such as his own physical fatigue, his goal to reach the summit, and the fact that this opportunity was “once-in-a-lifetime” (Curtis, 156). Other factors included the fatigue of his fellow climbers, the danger of the pass, the advise of his team and, most importantly, the well being of the sadhu. While reading this article, I found Bowen’s decision to be mostly based on his own personal issues. Although he rationalized his decision later with his fears of the other members of the group’s heath and the fact that the pass may not be passable later, I had the feeling that deep down that’s not why he pushed ahead. I believe that he, somewhat selfishly, was only interested in finishing the climb for his own personal gain and for his ego. Evidence of this lies in his exhilaration of reaching the top, even an hour later when he sees Stephen, his friend, come struggling up the mountain. His rationale of his decision makes it seem like his team’s well being was a major concern, but he did not appear to be as concerned with Stephen’s health as he was with his own accomplishment. Goals: Bowen’s goal, like the goal of many of the members of the team, was to reach the summit, no matter what it took. He and much of the...

...Argument and Logic Axia Campus of University of Phoenix Parmenide’s most famous disciple, Zeno has devised a series of ingenious arguments to support Parmenide’s theory. The theory is reality is one. Zeno took a basic approach to demonstrate motion is impossible. His example was a rabbit moving from one hole to another, and must first reach the quarter point before reaching the next hole. The point needing to be reached is one-eighth the distance. Whether it is a rabbit or another creature it must reach a point of infinite number of points to get anywhere they wish to go. By the requirement of needing to move an infinite number of times anywhere would rule out motion. Second theory states for a rabbit to move from one hole to another, at each moment of its travel will occupy space meaning it is at rest. Since the rabbit occupies space each moment it is at rest each moment so it cannot move. Zeno’s argument is that motion is not possible. Basically stating when a rabbit moves from one place to another the rabbit moves infinite times ruling out motion. When anything is attempting to reach a certain spot or location whether it is an animal or human we at any point can all stop. Zeno is saying motion does not exist at all because we all stop at some point. I believe him stating motion does not exist is Ludacris, because as we are moving we are in motion and then we stop and then we are back in motion once we began to move again. I believe for the most part his logics and...

...Sustainability to discuss about Mangrove Planting. This activity was held on Pamarawan Island which is still part of City of Malolos. They also let us know about the call time and venue for meet up before going to the terminal. The call time is 5:30 in the morning in Malolos Cathedral, but because I already know how to go there and it is along the way, I asked if it is okay not to go to Malolos Cathedral. It’s better for me not to, because it would be hassle for me and also to save time. Unexpectedly, our section 3B is not yet on the Cathedral. Though they are also late, I didn’t make it to arrive on time and reach them. When they drifted, that’s the time I already came and I had reach nothing but the other community from Pamarawan. So they left me but they advised me to ride a boat separately. I have no choice but to wait for the boat to fill the other passengers to reach 20. While I’m waiting, I’ve seen another Student from Tourism riding a tricycle. When I saw him, I started smiling and it makes me to cheer up, because I have a companion on being late. I talk to him immediately for me not to feel bored and uncomfortable. He’s easy to get along with and I enjoyed talking to him, it helps me not to feel that it has a long trip. By the way, he’s a student from BSTM 1-C but I forgot his name. We have waited for about two hours, so the boat driver asked us if it is okay to double the payment of the fare for us to get immediately to Pamarawan. It takes 45 minutes before we reached...

...that employee helped fix. The drawbacks from using social media to communicate with employees would be some employees might not show professionalism when answering customers question. Also they might experience negative feedback from a customer and won’t handle in a proper manner. Some advantages to using social media to reach the customers would be getting the brand out there, getting feedback from the customers, letting the world know about new promotions that might be going on. The drawbacks would be it’s an open market for people to say negative things about your company. People might look at the comments that the company makes and get a different message out of what the company is saying which could be negative thoughts towards the company. 2. Do you think there would be more or fewer communication barriers when using social media? Discuss I think there would be fewer communication barriers when using social media because most of people today use some sort of social media site. This is a great way to be able to break communication barriers and be broadcast all over the world by just posting something on Facebook and sharing it on other pages. It could reach anyone from the United States to all the way to China. Also by the time it reaches to other countries where they do not speak English the post will be translated for them to be able to read and know what is going on. Also most of the time when you post something on one social media site it is broadcasted on different websites...

...The main factor in determining popularity abroad would be how familiar the people are with the sport. In America we know football as the sport that is played on Sunday, but to the rest of the world it is known as soccer. To gain popularity in this example the NFL would need to get other countries aware of the sport so the people could understand the rules and learn by playing with hopes of one day playing in the NFL. You see the NFL already trying to expand their reach to the global marketplace by playing games each year in Europe. I believe basketball has already reached popularity in most countries due to the amount of talent that comes from overseas that play in the NBA . The countries that have players in the league have more of an interest in the sport because of those players and it gives them a reason to watch. A sports franchise wanting to gain popularity would need to take into account the difference in religion, manners, customs and language. Nicholas Pardini of Bleacher Report makes an excellent point on why the NFL is having trouble reaching more of the global market, “Football abroad has often been perceived as a sign of American nationalism and a barbaric culture. Critics of football often portray the game as a modern-day gladiator fight with a ball, and that it only appeals to the lowest common denominator of people and aggressive Americans”....

...Adaptation is the Key to Success Adaptation is a better strategy regarding global markets. With adaptation, a global company can reach a larger target audience and dominate the market which both can lead to increased profits, the company’s overall goal. Even though initially money will be spent to customize products, the increased profits will cover the loss. Adaptation will enable a global company to reach a larger target audience. If a company chooses adaptation over standardization, it can customize products that are compatible with a wider variety of customers as opposed to making one standardized product. Adaptation allows companies not to force customers to adjust specific needs to make a particular product accommodate the customer’s needs. Each person does not have the same lifestyle and does not require the same output from a product; therefore adaptation would be wise for a global company. Once a global company adapts its product to accommodate customers, the company will be able to dominate that particular market. Competition would become very low. The company will have a competitive advantage because customers have many more options and alternatives when it comes to choosing the company’s products over the competitor’s products. If the company has so many options for the consumer to choose from, the consumer has no need to buy elsewhere, therefore knocking out any possible competition for the company. Once a global company reaches a larger target audience and...

...Alpen Bank: Launching the Credit Card in Romania 1. If Alpen bank does in fact decide to launch a credit card, there are a variety of positions it could take. Given their reputation however as a higher income bank, I believe Alpen should target their current affluent customer base. By positioning their card in the higher income segment of the Romanian market, they will have the ability to charge a higher joining fee/ annual fee because the consumer will not weigh the decision as much as someone from the middle class. This means higher per-ticket spending and therefore break even more quickly as well as profit in time. Most importantly it does not change the perception of their brand as high end banking. The last result they want out of this venture is to lose their current clientele because people assume they are serving a broader market. 2. There are some factors Alpen bank must take into consideration before deciding to launch a credit card. First is the fact that Romania is largely a cash based market. People have a low understanding of credit and when to use it instead of cash. Among debit/credit card using countries in central and eastern Europe, Romania is towards the bottom with only 1.2 cards per household, most cards being debit. From this information it would seem that if launched, the card may not get used to its full potential. The target market for such a credit card would be those making 4,500 Euros a year and above, roughly 28% of the current population...

...Ever since I was little I was raised by my mother and stepfather. As far as I remember by father was not in my life as much as my stepfather was. My stepfather is my role model, he has shown me the ways and steps of life to reach our full potential. My Father is a hard worker, he works 5am-8pm Monday through Sunday. I have never met a person in love with work as much as him. He has the choice of leaving his work early but chooses to stay to make sure everything is complete. My stepfather came to this country 18 years ago to pursue a better career opportunity. He came into business doing Mosaics with his cousin where he later became manager in that section of the company. My stepfather never slacked of at what he did. He came across problems with his cousin’s company because they were not paying him enough and so decided to open up his own business. He is very successful at what he does and has done many great mosaics all through out New York City. He taught me that you couldn’t take things for granted. Never allow people to step over you or push you down. He is still, to this day, working to pursue succession and never forgets to tell me that in order to succeed in life you need, ignorance and confidence. Ignorance to ignore people who always try to turn you down and the confidence to know that you are the best at what you do and you will prove everybody why. My stepfather is my true role model because I look at him and I see what a father figure should be. He is always there...
