...Recommendation Based on the foregoing findings of the study, the researchers came up with some recommendations which are as follows: 1. Suggestions for further research Other term? Other term? The researchers recommend that further studies be conducted with a different locale, population and methodology. For further studies, the researchers suggest to have a larger sample size (which is representative of the total population/ to generate higher outcomes of confidence level). Further research is necessary to provide more corroborating evidence that would further support the findings of this study. Researchers also recommend to continuously explore changes in demographic factors in order to evaluate whether these changes will affect consumer’s purchase intention as oppose to the results of this study. In addition, it is also suggested to construct the survey which is answerable by Juster’s scale (7 point scale) as recommended by marketers (East et al, 2013). 2. Managerial Suggestions Ang pangit ng sentence ko. haha Ang pangit ng sentence ko. haha The reason why consumers are not likely to buy eco-labelled products is that they are not familiar with eco-labels. Since there is a low positive linear correlation between awareness and purchase intention, marking products with eco-labels could be a viable source of competitive advantage provided that the eco-labeled products have extensive advertisement to increase perceived quality and is on par with other...

...CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION The beauty-care service industry is now booming. As a business, as well as an opportunity, this sector already started to contribute in the economic growth. Along with the increase of disposable income, the expenditure of the customers in this sector significantly increases. Today beauty care service is not just a luxury, it is a necessity. Along with this growing significance, the issues of service quality and customer satisfaction have also become burning questions. The findings of the study indicated that, when choosing a specific parlor, the customer gave importance to the service provider’s behavior and knowledge, the environment of the parlor, counseling facilities and information-dissemination system, and affordability. This article also reveals that custom-ers of the high-end parlors were highly satisfied with the environment, the executive’s behavior, the complaint-handling system and trustworthiness. The use of materials, service provider’s behavior, executive’s knowledge level, safety and hygiene issues were also satisfactory. Though the customers were to some extent accepting of such factors as service accuracy, understanding customers’ need, prompt service and accessibility, there was still room for improvement. The findings of the study indicated that the common service-quality variables that were creating customer satisfac-tion could be categorized into four broad groups; these are Support & Facility Factor, Employee...

...door style (French, double, etc.) of the refrigerators based on standard options. * Placement of drawers, bins and containers from standard size options. * Placement of freezer at the top or the bottom along with its standardized capacity. * Option to include water and ice dispenser/ blast chiller/ fresh food de-humidifier/ coffee maker. * Option to include ‘smart’ tablet to store messages and suggest recipes based on ingredients inserted. Tablet could also be used to view contents inside the refrigerator via camera without having to open the door thereby conserving energy. This formula of providing customers with what they need has worked in the past for Haier in Europe, Pakistan and Japan. Implementation of this recommendation would enable Haier to continue to cater to needs of individuals specifically without enforcing new features/ designs to the market as a whole. This would provide significant product differentiation to them thereby increasing brand awareness. Also consumer trust will increase considering consumers know that they will be paying only for what they need. As for manufacturing, all these features are already being provided by Haier in one form or the other...

...Recommendation Negatives Not everyone in the 21st century thinks about the negative effects of having social networking accounts - but simple things like not setting your privacy settings properly or liking someone's photo can have bad results. Cyberbullying can be a problem as people can take advantage of the fact that there is no one who can effectively stop the bullying when it happens, due to everything being performed behind a screen. The only way for a bully to be stopped is if they are reported and victims may be too intimidated to do it. Social networking can also ruin relationships as people may get jealous if they find out their boyfriend or girlfriend is exchanging messages with other people. It can also be a waste of time as people can visit a site to check on thing and end up spending the whole day 'behind the screen' and as a result, not doing anything useful with their lives. Positives Social networking has lots of good points You can express yourself, showing off your favourite song lyrics or posting pictures of your new outfit. It is a lot harder to feel embarrassment over the internet than in person, so people find it easier to vent their feelings on sites like Facebook. In fact, it has become so much a part of people's lives that you can learn someone's life story just by checking their page. Their friends, likes and dislikes, relationship status, phone number, address…everything. You can share your feelings and your mental stresses - and it is a great way...

I was always a willing participant and tried my best to contribute to class discussions by raising my hand respectfully. In your class, I am very proud of my academic accomplishments that I have achieved. Your class has enhanced my understanding of different aspects of literature by assigning several discussions and projects. The class started out in fall 2011with the short research paper on the British literary history from the 1600’s to modern era. I was very proud of the research paper, since I had learned many new things during this project about authors and their books. In addition, I enjoyed discussing classics such as Dorian Gray in my BLBC groups. My favorite one, however, was The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet. The book’s plot was rich with action and suspense, which inspired me to read it even more. Analyzing characters in the The Pillars of the Earth with the group was extremely helpful to my comprehension of the book. Furthermore, throughout the year, we had to present on several ideas and themes, which included two different types of sonnets, stories and plays. Presenting helped...

...• Partnership with advertising/marketing websites should be established to promote the site and increase visibility. • There should be exceptions as to what products can be ordered online. For example, online shopping may be limited only to smaller items so that customers will still have a reason to visit the store when buying larger items. • Website should include a help section, tutorial section, videos section, etc. where customers can browse for any power tool demonstration, help in tool operation, or training courses. • Customers should be encouraged to create accounts on the website to access more features. This is also to reduce the risk of attackers abusing the website. • The site should include an online consultation feature where customers can seek for help regarding the products sold at HHI. • Security should also be a main focus because increasing the site’s security can add to the customers’ online experience. • An online bulletin can be put up where HHI, customers, suppliers can post announcements, ads or notices about tools or services they offer. • Users should be allowed to subscribe to this bulletin so that they can receive email updates whenever news is posted. • So as not to lose the relationship with customers, HHI should still encourage the customers to visit the stores occasionally or arrange gatherings where customers can consult with the personnel for matters that cannot be discussed online. • Careful consideration should be made in terms of the...

...3th July 2010 To whom it may concern, I am privileged to write this letter to you in support of my student – Ms Pham Huong Trang and her desire to apply for your postgraduate program. Trang was my former student in two courses: Macroeconomics 1 and 2 in the second grade at the Foreign Trade University. As a student, Trang has proved that she truly deserved the honour. Macroeconomics 1 and 2 are the courses that require students to have good background knowledge, critical thinking, and the ability to apply theories to practical cases. Trang has satisfied all those requirements. In class, she demonstrated a concentration on studies and always actively participated in learning activities. She always tried to find the solutions to the problems I asked, and frequently raised questions to improve understanding. In addition, Trang showed that she worked well in team and effectively co-operated with other members as it could be observed in her teams for “The relationship between inflation and unemployment in Vietnam” research projects. She was a really reliable and responsible student, who was always willing to contribute and to lead, with rare organisational skills and great commitment to teamwork. Being so humble, yet inquiring and very self-disciplined, Trang showed her well-organised and original work, be it home assignments, tests or class presentations and discussions.

...ASSIGNMENT 2 1. Explain how email works in product recommendations. Product recommendation is something needed for an online business to use as one of the internet marketing campaigns. In fact, product recommendation is widely used by many of the people working in the internet and they would love to use this type of technique to increase the fame of the business and increase the chance to getting an order from the people who visit the website of your own. Actually, product recommendation is a technique of introducing or recommending some products on the website of the online business owners. This means that they would try to recommend some useful products or interesting products to people visiting the website. However, some people would try to recommend different types of products together in a website. For ecommerce companies with many products, structuring up-sells and cross-sells for optimal conversions can be very difficult. Product recommendations solve this problem by learning the behaviors of your site visitors on an individual and aggregate level. We automatically take this data and merchandise your site, matching behaviors and comparing intents of new visitors to thousands of shoppers who converted on your site. For returning visitors we display products based on their customer profiles, which are preferences our engine anonymously learns over time, including preferred categories, favorite brands, and even specific colors and sizes. 2. In implementing...

...Letter of Recommendation for Child Adoption Graciela Thompson Institutional Affiliation Introduction In the United States, and many parts of the world child adoption is a legal act and an individual or a family will be granted this right by the child adoption agency if they prove that they will be fully responsible for the adopted child (Skidmore, Anderson & Eiswerth, 2011). Child adoption places a child with parents who are not his/her real biological mother or father. Upon the formalization of the child adoption contract, the rights or responsibilities of the real biological parents seize immediately. For one to successfully adopt a child, he/she will have to present a letter of recommendation to the adoption agency, usually written by a person who knows them well (Hughes & Davidson, 2007). The letter will include a brief analysis of the character of the adopter and important factors that makes him/her a suitable and a responsible parent. The letter will later be taken to a lawyer where it will go through the notarization process. Below is a letter of recommendation for child adoption. To Whom It May Concern: My name is Cynthia Adams and I have worked with Miss Jane Smith for a period of ten years now. We are still working together as school teachers and have really enjoyed her company since we first met. Our continued friendship has been propagated by the fact that Jane is one special individual...

...Recommendations For our recommendations we first and foremost wanted to start strictly within the company. Organization is one of the most important aspects of any business and will contribute to continual success. Our first recommendation Is to implementation if a mission statement. A mission statement is a shared vision of what your company is all about and is important not only to let your customers or potential customers know what you stand for, but also to keep the company on track so that you will continue to give the best quality in service. Our second recommendation ties in very closely with the first and that is to create an employee handbook, which should include sections regarding your company’s code of ethics, performance review standards, and also outlines management structure. Creating and maintain an employee handbook is one of the most important communication skills between your company and your employees. Not only will this set forth your expectations for your employees, but it also helps them understand what they can expect from the company. Our next recommendation would be to conduct scheduled meetings to review, adjust, or create new goals and directives for the company. Getting together as a team and making sure everyone is on the same page plays a very large roll in the organization of a company. This will also open up the lines of communication which will ensure the jobs that are set forth are being performed with the highest level of quality. To...

...Starbucks Corporation: A Strategy Recommendation Elizabeth Joyner Capella University I. Introduction and History of Starbucks It all began in 1971 in a small storefront in Seattle, Washington’s Pike Place Market. This was the site of the very first Starbucks store where unlike how the store is set up now it was merely a roaster and retailer of whole bean coffee and teas. Ten years later in 1982, Howard Schultz joins the company as the director of retail operations and marketing. To further immerse himself into the coffee world he travels to Italy in 1983 and subsequently falls in love with the coffee bar experience. The following year, the very first Café Latte is served in downtown Seattle. In 1985 Schultz founds Il Giornale, a business that offers brewed coffees and espresso drinks made from Starbucks brand coffee beans. Two years after the founding of Il Giornale, Howard Schultz acquires the assets of Starbucks and changes the name of Il Giornale to Starbucks Corporation and opens up 17 Starbucks stores including stores in Chicago and Vancouver, Canada. The statement, “Our Mission: to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time” (Starbucks Corporation), the popular coffee chain became what it is today. II. History of the Internet and Social Media While Howard Schultz and the “big wigs” of the Starbucks Corporation are watering the new coffeehouse idea and growing Starbucks into the conglomerate that...

...System Recommendation for UM&UC Executive Summary UM&UC is a firm that designs, builds, and sells precision measurement tools which are used in scientific, medical, and energy industries. The sales team has become extremely mobile and are facing challenges that impact the effectiveness of the team. UM&UC hired an independent consulting firm to analyze these challenges and make recommendations to improve the sales and sales support effectiveness. The findings of the consulting firm were that the sales and sales support teams are mainly mobile. The sales and sales support teams also need the same capabilities available at a UM&UC facility, but through a mobile device. The IT infrastructure of UM&UC has not kept up with the growing needs of the sales and sales support teams, and many of the team members are trying to use personal mobile devices to help bridge the gap; team members are finding that these devices do not have the necessary access to company IT resources. UM&UC has set aside funding to act upon the recommendations set by the independent consulting firm. They will transition the sales team and other members to tablet style mobile devices. UM&UC has set aside funding and is ready to choose a standard device and implement it for the sales and sales support teams.
