...Introduction Popular culture is no longer regional. The advent of cable television, syndicated radio programs, and the Internet has created a world where a fashion statement in Malaysia will be on the streets in a small town in a matter days. The speed of our telecommunication system has increased young customers' expectations and demands for products that represent their own cultural statement. My company, Phreak Starters will offer customers, in small towns and communities around Malaysia, the youth-oriented products and clothing that are popular nationwide but not available locally. The URL of the company web page is http://www.phreak-starters.com. The difference between Phreak Starters and other youth-oriented e-commerce websites is that Phreak Starters is focused only on its small-town customers. The target customer is a young person, who listens to alternative music and participates in youth sports. Our target customer will look toward alternative clothing trends in large urban areas as their inspiration. Communities of this size already have small youth-oriented businesses that Phreak Starters can utilize to promote its product line. The purpose to use the internet is to reach out to a wider and bigger audience. There is no doubt that print ads, television, and the radio are still the best means to reach out to people, but with the constant technological advancements more and more people are gaining Internet access. In fact, almost one-third of the world’s population...

...including items such as jewelry and handbags) accounted for 18% of all online retail sales, and that number is expected to grow. Also, the compound annual growth rate for global online retail sales since 2007 is 17% (Ben-Shabat, Moriarty, & Nilforoushan, 2014). The market for luxury items, such as designer clothing and handbags, is directly correlated with the financial stability and confidence of the consumer. With unemployment reaching a 5-year low at the end of 2013, it is expected that consumers in 2014 will increase online spending in all areas of retail sales, including luxury items. (Kurtzleben, 2013). Additionally, BizReport (2013) notes that e-commerce has increased every quarter for 15 consecutive quarters. It is clear that online shopping is an important venue for today’s technologically sophisticated consumers, and boutiques can increase sales by providing that venue for their selective customers.

...Advances in technology have infiltrated our entire life, from the way we watch television, to how we shop for groceries. In out post-industrial society, we no longer have a need for people to check us out at our favorite retail or grocery stores. Self-check-out kiosks allow us to do it ourselves. While they appear to be a solution to crowded lines, these kiosks are actually a topic of controversy. Some have claimed that they eliminate jobs and add the potential for multi-level theft, not to mention they give poor customer service. Retailers and kiosks manufacturers defend these check-outs by saying they actually increase customer service, redeploy rather than eliminate employees, and deter theft. Are these kiosks safe? Are people losing their...

This clothing store is designed for the purpose of showing that plus size clothing can be functional and stylish. They want to make a statement saying plus size women can look sophisticated, sassy, elegant and stylish at the same time. The name PRiMAALA comes from the combination of the word prime and the Hebrew word maala, which means to “rise up”. Rachel Holt, the owner of PRiMAALA said that, “the idea behind rising up is to encourage everyone who walks through the door to recognize the beauty within themselves, and to rise up in their sense of self and self-esteem” (“New Store:PRiMAALA”, 2014).

...is available to make the operation run more smoothly. One company I feel has done a good job of utilizing these two particular resources and that is Target. Target utilizes knowledge to not only educate their employees but to make it part of the culture of their company. One way that Target uses knowledge to focus on the culture is its very open support of diversity. Each store does different events but all of the stores take part in celebrating diversity. For instance some store will have “Did you know?” type facts of different ethnic backgrounds. This not only gives the employees the knowledge but for team members pride in whom they are. This knowledge is then part of the culture, which gives their customers a more comfortable shopping experience. This same focus is handled at a managerial level as well. As a manager at Target you are taught to be aware and sensitive to whatever different diversity issues that may arise. This covers everything from sexual orientation, religion, disability, and even just being aware of what a person is sensitive to. The manager can then make sure they are doing everything they can to be respectful of everyone, staff and customers. Also, managers at Target are usually promoted from within the company. Many of the corporate executives have done their fair share of time working...

My next stop would be Hong Kong or China. There is something mystical about China and her people. This would be my dream come true. Apart from that, I could finally go on a shopping spree, which is my favourite pastime. Thus far, I could only go window shopping and if I had a lot of money, I would go into these stores and buy whatever I fancy. Just imagine that for once in my life, I do not need to look at the prices of the items that I like. I could just shop till I literally drop. The salesgirls would be hovering near me with their latest outfits and my wish would be their command. Ah, I would not be ignored anymore as I walk into their stores! Besides shopping, I would also remember the poor and the less fortunate. First, I would certainly build a better home for the orphans in my town.

...Famima!! Internal Control When looking for a quick drink or fast meal, it is sometimes very troublesome to have to drive to a market and wait in potentially long checkout lines. This sparked the idea for a smaller store that only carries the most frequently bought items for the customer’s convenience. Nicknamed convenience stores for very obvious reasons, these little establishments exist all over the world and carry just about any little thing you might need at a very local distance. Inventory differs largely based on location and ownership, but these stores will carry everything from water to groceries and even motor oil. In Japan, most convenience stores are smaller and family owned with many of the locals nicknaming them “family marts.” One lucky owner managed to make enough money to open several stores and created a franchinse named Famima!!, a contraction of the family mart nickname. Through smart investing and marketing, he was able to turn his tiny convenience store into a corporation and business. Today Famima!! has extended its reach into the United States and offers an alternative to the well-known and dominant 7-11’s and Circle K’s. The Famima!! stores currently serve the greater Los Angeles area and one of the stores has even appeared in the 2010 movie Inception by Christopher Nolan. Today I will be meeting with Kevin Chan, the Los Angeles District Manager and interviewing him about the internal control policies Famima!! Co. has in place. Name, Title and number...
