Cultural Analysis • II. Economic Analysis • III. Market Audit and Competitive Market Analysis • IV. Preliminary Marketing Plan I. Cultural Analysis writing guide Guideline I. Introduction writing guide A significant aspect of China is its long cultural and national history. The Chinese people have shared a common culture longer than any other group on Earth. The Chinese writing system, for example, dates back almost 4,000 years. The imperial dynastic system of government, which continued for centuries, was established as early as 221 BC. Although specific dynasties were overturned, the dynastic system survived. China was even ruled at times by foreign invaders, such as the Mongols during the Yuan Dynasty, from AD 1279 to 1368, and the Manchus during the Ch'ing Dynasty, from AD 1644 to 1911, but the foreigners were largely absorbed into the culture they governed. It is as if the Roman Empire had lasted from the time of the Caesars to the 20th century, and during that time had evolved a cultural system and written language shared by all the peoples of Europe. The dynastic system was overturned in 1911, and a weak republican form of government existed until 1949. In that year, after a long civil war, the People's Republic of China, with a Communist government, was proclaimed...

...America and the Evolution of the Great War Professor US History 18 January 2014 It was when Germany opposed all sanctions and took opposition by surprise in the year 1914 which initiated World War I. An additional key event that led to the start of the Great War was the murdering of the Austrian Duke and his beloved wife on June 1914 by a Bosnian opposition. This killing along with other significant events set the wheels in motion for a World War. Imperialism was true to its name as the British Empirical throne took over new lands, countries and there society. By the early years of 1900 the Empire has secured and extended over five different boundless continents. Other facets that participated to the revolution were that the French also had control of the African frontier. Elevated tensions with Germany began when the French and British began taking control of large neighboring limitless areas. Each nation tried to achieve some sense of a strong militia that would secure them from the elements of the world. Within the boundaries of a strong imperial army the militarism oppositions were given a high powering authority by the government. New world opportunities needed to be tapped into which included a rise of industrialism. The industrial wave has been eminent and new products and military ideas on weapons and strategies came to fruition. A new market of machines and a rise of authority were being conjured. The armies of both competitive oppositions of France and Germany...

...Human Resources Research Paper 4/16/2014 Benefits There are many benefits that employers offer to their employees to attract that to work at their company. Human Resources provides benefits in six core areas, Health which includes (medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, and health care flexible spending accounts), Retirement (university provided retirement contributions and employee retirement savings vehicles), Tuition (for employees and eligible children of employees), Life Insurance (basic and supplemental life and AD&D insurance, and life insurance for dependents), Disability Insurance (short- and long-term disability and workers' compensation), Lifestyle Support (such as child care, EAP, transportation, banking, paid time off, and other benefits). In our research paper we will explore how some of these benefits affect the social, political and ethical areas of Great Britain and Australia. Life Insurance Human resource is a very difficult subject. It has so many different aspects to cover. The manual for human resource is so long but every area is important and has to be covered. Benefits are what every employee looks forward when looking for a job, though I believe many applicants don’t ask the question about life insurance. Life insurance is a touchy subject but I believe that every person should be insured for themselves and their loved ones. Not being covered whether it’s with or without your companies can leave financial hardship on your loved ones...

...CHAPTER NO:1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 WHAT’S A MISSION STATEMENT? Imagine if you were the captain of your own ship. You wouldn’t let the ship sail just anywhere. You would have a direction and a destination to sail to. Either you’re sailing to a predetermined port of call, or your ship is in port, getting ready to sail to another destination. It’s the same with our lives. A mission statement clarifies what you want out of life. It gives you a clear sense of direction. You know where you need to focus your attention to create the desired outcome. As Zig Ziglar has said, “You cannot make it as a wandering generality. You must become a meaningful specific.” A mission statement is only a paragraph long, but it has specific, measurable outcomes and a deadline for accomplishing that outcome. It’s truly the best way to start your journey to success. Mission statement A mission statement is a statement of the purpose of a company or organization, its reason for existing. The mission statement should guide the actions of the organization, spell out its overall goal, provide a path, and guide decision-making. It provides "the framework or context within which the company's strategies are formulated." Definition: A written declaration of an organization's core purpose and focus that normally remains unchanged over time. Properly crafted mission statements (1) serve as filters to separate what is important from what is not, (2) clearly state which markets will be served and how, and...
