...Should the global super powers lead an effective way in developing renewable energy? Global super powers rely heavily on energy, so therefore they should develop and fund renewable energy sources. Small countries have a smaller need. They do not have as much capital, so they rely on the global superpowers. Renewable energy is the cleanest way to keep earth clean and free of pollution. Global powers have the resource to advance renewable energy quickly. They have professional people, machinery, technology, money know-how, etc. to make things happen. Different countries in different parts of the world use different kinds of renewable energy. Countries can share with other countries what they’ve learned. This is an effective way to increase renewable energy. The population of the world will greatly benefit from renewable energy. People will be healthier and pollution will be greatly decreased. There will be an ongoing supply of power for every facet of life. Renewable energy must be developed because nonrenewable energy is becoming expensive and environmentally damaging to retrieve. Renewable resources are constantly replenished and will never run out. A clean energy revolution is taking place among global super powers. This generates hundreds of billions in economic activity, and is expected to continue to grow rapidly in the coming years. This...

...The United States was undeniably the worlds greatest superpower following World War II. Finally getting back on their feet after the great depression, the United States economy was unmatched by any other nation.

...It’s safe to say that Beyoncé and Bruno Mars stole Super Bowl 50’s halftime show and left headliner Coldplay on the outside looking in. This happened mainly because both performers have a greater level of popularity compared to headliner Coldplay; they simply did not stack up. Beyoncé’s performance oozed passion and even brought about controversy with her new song “Formation”, as some believed it was a black power salute. While this rumor was dispelled and obviously is not positive, I feel as though the attention she drew with her performance is indicative of what the halftime show should be. Moving forward to thinking about next years Super Bowl, I believe the headliner should create an aura of excitement. In addition, they should capture the attention of the younger demographic of fans. Especially since the majority of viewers are middle aged, putting on a performer who enticed the younger...

...Some examples have nothing to do with football. McCarthy loves business world lessons for his Super Bowl champs, but really, it goes back. Eayrs distinctly remembers the first meeting McCarthy ever had with the Packers when he was hired as coach in 2006. "He told the guys - and I think he shocked all of us - when he said the biggest problem that we would face, as an organization, was handling success," Eayrs said. "So we've done a series of power points on success. Shortly after the Super Bowl, he said we need to look at long-term success. People and organizations that had achieved success over a long period of time. "You might accidentally back into it once - well, seriously, history is full of that - but the real pattern of greatness is the repeat performers." So as Green Bay makes this winning thing a habit, Eayrs tells the team about businesses and their leaders, with a clear link to the Packers and how they should go forward. "There are leaders getting complacent, thinking they were the head honcho, and then their businesses went down," said receiver Jordy Nelson. "Compared to leaders who were humble and continued to grind every week. That's kind of the situation we're in. As confident as we are, we're going to continue to grind." Mental vacations After the Packers beat Minnesota on Monday night, Charlie Peprah could be overheard telling Jarrett Bush that he was worried about doom loops. Had to fix them. Doom . . . loops?

The article provides a first look at Windows 10 and its new features, and emphasizes the surprise announcement of Hololens and its potential future impact on the overall industry and on Microsoft’s bottom line. The Windows 10 event signals Microsoft’s willingness to wake up from its stagnant slumber. Although the event was aimed at introducing Windows 10, the star was actually the announcement and presentation of new hardware called Hololens. Hololens is a virtual reality headset that uses holographic projection to create an augmented three-dimensional space users can interact with. The potential applications are what make Hololens important. Using Hololens, processes like interactive virtual museum tours can be done from the comfort of an office or a home. Interactive and life-like home consultations with doctors, lawyers, or other professionals will be made possible. The gaming market will also be fundamentally changed to be more interactive as well. All these potential applications of Hololens translate to new revenue sources and new markets for Microsoft. What this means...

Moreover, the ad arose emotional desires for men, the desires for power and pretty women. Plus the affordable price for this new sedan which made this ad become believable. Although I am not their main target audience (I am woman), I still be touched by the low price of this new car, which change my perception about the image of high price of Mercedes Benz.

...their manipulation power. Against the power of manipulation, we should be able to strengthen our autonomy and our critical thinking; we must protect ourselves to these techniques. The reality is that 70% to 80% of purchase decisions are made in an irrational manner and according to sensory stimuli, so everybody is influenced by marketing. Thanks to investments from companies like Procter & Gamble, Unilever or McDonald’s, it has conducted similar experiences not only by MRI, also with electroencephalograms, measurements of heart rate, respiratory rate or even the skin conductance (galvanic response). Neuromarketing is so powerful that induces us to pay up to 20% more than you normally would pay for that product. Martin Lindstrom is such a guru of marketing, he wrote ‘’Buy.ology’’, where he explains why we buy the things that we buy. Critics of neuromarketing denounce this practice for being 'unethical', and request the government to promote respect restrictive regulation. But nothing has changed ethically. Similarly, the intention of neuromarketing is the same as that of traditional marketing: to persuade us to buy products that we do not always need. Here are some examples of the use of neuromarketing: -Pretest TV ads (Case SONY Bravia) - It is perhaps the most common application of neuromarketing. Lets you know if the ad like or dislike, select the flat aesthetic, test creative resources. -Predicting the virality of the ads (Case Super Bowl) - It has been...

...more mature client base. The eight hitched team of powerful Clydesdales have become the national trademark of Anheuser-Busch. “In 1933, August A. Busch, Jr.gave a hitch of Clydesdales to his father in celebration of the resumption of brewing in St. Louis following the repeal of Prohibition. These high- stepping horses make hundreds of public appearances each year in addition to appearing in television commercials and other Budweiser beer advertising.” (Beckius, Your Guide to New England Travel, July 2, 2007). Therefore, the most recognizable and enduring advertising tool possibly ever used dates back to 1933, and to this day brings back memories of a similar time depicted by a horse drawn wagon brimming with Budweiser. Recently, in Super Bowl XLII, Budweiser reintroduced the mass appeal of the Clydesdales to tug at the heart strings of the older generation. “The companies slogan ‘Budweiser – The King of Beer’ to assert it’s dominance and superiority over rivals”.(Katzin, Advertising of America’s Beer Companies and the Duff Corporation, 2002). The speed and agility of these...

...People who engage with a brand through multiple digital channels buy as much as four to eight times more as those who simply interact with retailers through one channel,” according to Maginus digital marketing executive Amanda Mulquiney. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS: While retailers may consider showrooming to be a threat, the power of in-store Wi-Fi and displays shouldn’t be underestimated. M&S’s free next-day-delivery-to-store proposition has supported 54 percent of the orders placed or collected in-store since launch. What began as a marketing gag generated engagement about the Bloomingdales brand’s use of cool technology to create excitement about the Super Bowl. If that is the case, doesn't it make sense for retailers to use digital in-store, providing the types of devices with which omnichannel shoppers are already used to interacting with? While retailers may consider showrooming to be a threat, the power of in-store Wi-Fi and displays to enable consumers to access product information, reviews, and prices shouldn’t be underestimated. Let’s look at three examples of retailers innovating with digital technology to improve their in-store experience and drive engagement and sales. Marks & Spencer’s Digital Flagship Department Stores: M&S has been providing more ways to access products, including the introduction of new browse-and-order points, large digital screens that play catwalk videos to showcase products, and virtual makeover counters with facial recognition technology...
