...Prayushi Amin Professor: Jacqueline landau English 103 14th November 2012 Importance of communication in relationships “Communication is the key to a healthy relationship”. It is a pillar on which every relationship is balanced. Relationships are never stable, but communication has the ability heal every wound. Majority of Jhumpa Lahiri’s work is based on the importance of communication and relationships. Her stories are influenced by relationship problems, and the ups and downs one faces in maintaining relationships. Most of the characters, in her stories have been facing a difficulty in communicating their feelings to the opposite character. Jhumpa Lahiri is an American Indian, who was born in London and brought up in the United states. Through her stories, in the book ‘Interpreter of Maladies’, she communicates her thoughts about relationship problems faced by couples, parents and american indian children. Some of the characters from the book are engaged in an arranged marriage, whereas the others commit in a love marriage.Couples fitting in both the categories have been facing relationship problems due to different reasons. In the story, ‘interpreter of Maladies’, Communication breaks down repeatedly often with hurtful consequences. Mr Kapasi is engaged in an arrange marriage, whereas Mr and Mrs Das are committed in a love marriage. Mr. Kapasi, who is the interpreter of maladies, has lost his ability...

...Note: Solve any 4 Case Studies Case 1: Cub Foods In 2003, Cub Foods had 78 corporate and 30 franchised stores. The chain built its success by focusing on its primary market: families of four or five individuals with adults ages 24 to early 40s who are informed. Value-conscious consumers – consumers like Leslie Wells. Leslie Wells’s recent expedition to the new Cub Foods store in Melrose Park, Illinois, was no ordinary trip to the grocery store. “You go crazy,” says Wells, sounding a little shell-shocked. Overwhelmed by Cub’s vast selection, tables of samples, and discounts as high as 30 percent, Wells spent $76 on groceries - $36 more than she had planned. Wells fell prey to what a Cub executive calls “the wow factor”. A shopping frenzy brought on by low prices and clever marketing. That’s the reaction Cub’s super warehouse stores strive for and often get. Cub Foods has been a leader in shaking up the food industry and forcing many conventional supermarkets to lower prices, increase services, or, in some cases go out of business. With Cub and other super warehouse stores springing up across the country, shopping habits are changing too. Some shoppers must drive 50 miles or more to a Cub store instead of going to the nearest neighborhood supermarket and bag their own groceries at Cub Foods. Their payoff is that they find almost everything they need under one roof, and most of it is cheaper than at competing supermarkets. Cub’s low prices, smart marketing, and...

INTRODUCTION The Goods and Services Tax (GST) can be defined as a value-added tax that is levied on most goods and services sold for domestic consumption. The tax is implemented to provide revenue for the federal government. In Malaysia, the GST was scheduled to be implemented during the third quarter of 2011 but the implementation was delayed until the 1 st of April 2015. The Goods and Services Tax was tabled for the first time at the ‘Dewan Rakyat’ on 16 th of December 2009. Since there is a high number of criticism, it was delayed. On 25 th of October 2013, during the government’s reading of the National Budget 2014, the Malaysian Prime Minister, Dato’ Sri Najib Razak announced a GST tax of 6% will be implemented starting on the 1 st of April 2015 to replace the Sales and the Services tax. The implementation of the GST is a part of the government’s tax reform program to enhance the capability, effectiveness and transparency of tax administration and management. Since the government’s reading regarding GST in the National Budget 2014, there are a lot of...

...Eeeeth hthe h Free/Open Source Software is radically transforming how software is being developed by different communities in diverse disciplines. Many of the grand challenge topics for engineering research increasingly rely on the development and use of FOSS systems (e.g., the International Thermonuclear Energy Research (ITER) project for fusion research), and in some topics, the development and experimentation with FOSS-based systems are likely to be central to future research activities (e.g., advanced health informatics, secure cyberspace, enhanced virtual reality, and advanced personalized learning systems). However, FOSS remains a computing technology at its core, while FOSS development remains a web of complex socio-technical processes. But these processes are not well understood nor readily predictable, as informal practices are widespread and continually adapting. As such, FOSS is amenable to technological advances, socio-technical innovations, and systematic empirical studies that can emerge from research in the Computer Science community and beyond. We seek to articulate both multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary perspectives on how and why FOSS has become such a source of technology-centered global transformation, and what the future may hold. We need to identify key research problems and experimental studies going forward, along with the requisite research infrastructure and shared data repositories needed to support this research. We also need to identify future...

...assignment To what extent do you personally depend on the opinion of the opinion leaders to help to sort out your thoughts on topics like politics, films and fashion, consumer products etc? Those who manage to influence the opinion of the people by voicing their opinions whether through the print media or the audi-visual media. These people are called opinion leaders or what we commonly call them “critics”. Critics in today’s world are extremely influential in all fields be it movies, fashion, technology or even travel. Their opinions are highly valued and they are feared to a very large extent because their one comment can seal the fate of a movie or a product in the market. Critics today are not just confined to big names such as Shobha De or Rajeev Makhani or Vir Sanghvi each and every consumer has largely acquired the status of a critic with the advent of social media where every person’s view becomes a critical opinion because there are hundred people who read the comment or review and get influenced by their opinions. So with the freedom to voice ones opinion comes added responisbilty for every individual to be unbiased and fair while passing a judgement. An opinion leader whose every comment is regareded with so much importance should be very careful as to what he says for his one comment made in haste or prejudice can affect the fate of a product, person or movie and all the lives associated with all these products and people. They should be highly unbiased and...

...INTRODUCTION In the era of Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization along with on going IT revolution, today’s world is changing at a surprising pace. Political and Economic Transformations appear to be taking place everywhere—as countries convert from command to demand economies, dictatorships move toward democratic system, and Monarchies build new civil institutions. These changes have created economic opportunities for women who want to own and operate businesses. Today, women entrepreneurs represent a group of women who have broken away from the beaten track and are exploring new avenues of economic participation. Among the reasons for women to run organized enterprises are their skill and knowledge, their talents, abilities and creativity in business and a compelling desire of wanting to do something positive. It is high time that countries should rise to the challenge and create more support systems for encouraging more entrepreneurship amongst women. At the same time, it is up to women to break away from stereotyped mindsets. In this dynamic world, women entrepreneurs are a significant part of the global expedition for sustained economic development and social progress. Due to the growing industrialization, urbanization, social legislation and along with the spread of higher education and awareness, the emergence of Women owned businesses are highly increasing in the economies of almost all countries. In former days, for Women there were 3 Ks-...

...GLOBALIZATION AND PAKISTAN, SOME REALITIES. Ghulam Ali Khan * INTRODUCTION TO GLOBALIZATION: Globalization is a multifaceted phenomenon. The term Globalization is a controversial term and has been defined in several different ways. The word globalization can imply different meaning for different people across the glob. Some focus on the economic aspect and hence emphasize the global economy outlook, whereas some focus on the cultural aspects of this phenomenon and how globalization has effected different aspects of their culture, still others focus on the political aspects of the structure of globalization, yet others equate globalization with advanced technology, particularly in the area of communication and transportation. Globalization is all that. According to Majidi (1 ) There is not yet any single definition about globalization and there no consensus about it among the scholars. According to Walsham (2) ”The term globalization has achieved the unusual status, in a relatively short time, of becoming fashionable in academic debates in the social sciences, in the business world, and to some extent in the popular media. . However, even a cursory examination of these sources would demonstrate that the term is highly ambiguous, and that it masks a wide variety of opinions on what is happening in the world.’’ Anthony Mcgrew (3) confirming that globalization is a multidimensional phenomena, pays due attention to the issue of communication, defining globalization as the increasing...

...Even though chloral hydrate is used all the time in infants, chloral hydrate has many dangerous side effects when used in infants and children. Medical Research states that chloral hydrate has adverse side effects and clinical data shows it can even cause death. Aidan Janssens was born on December 23, 2009 and had some minor birth defects, none of which were life threatening. Because of these defects, doctors wanted to perform an MRI (magnetic resource imaging) on him on the second day of his life. They sedated him with chloral hydrate for the procedure he was to undergo. The procedure went well, but when Aidan woke up from the procedure, he immediately experienced unrelenting obstructive apnea. His episodes of apnea required Aidan to be manually stimulated, so he would start breathing on his own. These episodes continually worsened, and the need for him to be manually bagged (a bagged placed over his nose and mouth that is manually pumped to give him air) were required. The onset of these episodes would continually worsen and become more frequent with each passing day. The doctors had a conference with Aidan’s parents requesting they sign a DNR (do not resuscitate) order for Aidan and told Aidan’s parents that they could not continually bag Aidan. Aidan’s parents refused and requested that they be able to bring Aidan home. Aidan lived at home for 4 days and ultimately on the 38th day of his life, he passed away from unrelenting obstructive apnea, bradycardia and cyanosis...

...Page 1 – ASIA PACIFIC 2012 Copyright © ESOMAR 2012 “SO MANY DIFFERENT SUNS” HOW SUCCESSFUL BRANDS HIT THE CONFLUX OF AFFORDABILITY AND ASPIRATION Shobha Prasad • Sangeeta Gupta INTRODUCTION All of us are familiar with the current industry focus on emerging markets. It is also no surprise that the larger consuming population in these markets lies not at the top end, but towards the middle and lower ends of the income pyramid. This is also where marketers struggle the most – how should the offer be constructed to ensure it is affordable yet desirable? The proposed Theory of Multiple Aspiration & Poverty Lines (MAPL) represented a new and stratified approach to understanding affluence, poverty and aspiration. This has many implications on brand positioning and portfolio strategies for creation of winning brands or “suns”. Objective The objective of this paper was to take this thinking forward through an exploration as follows: Broadly, what are the implications of the Multiple Aspiration & Poverty Lines (MAPL) theory for brand positioning, communication and portfolio management? What drives brand success in the Indian context? What strategies have these brands used to achieve success- to what degree are these brands wedded to symbols of aspiration /belongingness in each social class? How did the brands that were not so successful in the Indian market falter on making the right connections on these dimensions? Approach We identified product categories through which...
