...Rose to manufacture it. Should Rose put its efforts behind its own brand instead? TOM ROSE hated to go to a meeting with ice cream on his pants. But Rose Partyware's after-school party-a monthly gesture of goodwill to the local community and, not incidentally, a field trial for products the company was developing- had confirmed his suspicions that one of the new ice-cream bowls was just too shallow. The five-year-old who had demonstrated that fact had been sitting right next to him. So here he was getting ready to listen to a major presentation, with paper towels in his hands. "Go ahead, Cassie," Tom said to his marketing director. "It'll dry or harden--or something. Thankfully, it's my last meeting of the day!" He could tell that Cassie Martin was excited about the presentation she was going to make to the top management team. Tom had personally recruited her about a year ago to spearhead the biggest strategic initiative in Rose's history: the launch of a branded line of party ware. In fact, it was the first time a company in the party goods industry had contemplated a branding effort, at least in the 30 years Rose had been in business. Party Lines Rose manufactured a wide variety of paper goods- plates, bowls, cups, napkins, tablecloths, favors, crepe-paper streamers, and so forth- for birthday and holiday parties and other social events. Tom's uncle, who had worked for one of the largest paper companies in the United States, had started Rose in the 1970s. He had personally...

...Divorce has become the norm in American society, but what has not become the norm are the effects that it has on children. Divorce impacts all individuals connected to the relationship but children are effected the most. Because of their innocence and immaturity they are not able to cope with the stressful events and aftermath of divorce like adults are able to. No one knows exactly how a child will react to divorce but more than not their behavior can be characterized as explosive and sporadic. The purpose of this research paper is to provide credible information on the effects that divorce has on children and the impact that it makes on their overall outlook on life before and after the divorce occurred. It will also highlight the stress that comes along with the relationship between parent and child as well as some insight on common practices used to help the children cope with the overall impact of divorce. Last but not least I will be adding some insight from my own personal experience about the effects of divorce. The demise or end of marriage has various and lasting effects on everyone connected to the couple going through that situation. Along with that comes a huge amount of stress, ill willed feelings, confusion, emptiness, and a plethora of other things that I would need three more pages to list. Children are the most vulnerable to the effects of these things. With their simple mind set and understanding of things, the concept of daddy and mommy not living...

...Disorders Writing Assignment The purpose of this project is to give you experience in making clinical diagnoses and to attempt to make sense of the many psychological disorders that are out there. You have been assigned to watch a popular movie. I decided to give this to you before Christmas Break because you will have at least 2 weeks to think of the movies form the list and watch one or two or whatever number you want. Pretend that you are a clinical psychologist, and the character in the movie has come in to your office. There is one central character in the movie that has symptoms of a psychological disorder (sometimes there may be more than one character; I have given you the character with the most obvious symptoms). In your paper, you should give a brief description of the character. Then, you should answer the following: o Identify the diagnosis that you would make of the character. • You should back up your diagnosis with the relevant symptoms displayed by the character (in other words, explain why did you make the diagnosis that you did). Refer to the movie to illustrate the symptoms that the character demonstrates. • Discuss all the possible symptoms of the disorder; does the client show all the possible symptoms, or only some of the possible symptoms of the disorder? • In some cases, the character may be lying, and does not really have a disorder. For example, the person may be faking the disorder to avoid prosecution for a...

...Facebook, the Corporation Joni C. MGT 344 Dr. D. Hanks November 28, 2011 When specific principles are implemented in an organization that allow free flow of information, freedom to try out new ideas and innovations, with a positive, open culture, beautiful things happen. This in turn makes for happy employees, which has a huge impact on the company's bottom line. Facebook is one such company that has attracted countless employees because of the founder's mission, optimism for the future, motivation and empowerment of his employees. His principles will be reviewed in this paper, however, the resources organizations use to grow their business will be discussed first. Organizational Behavior states that all of the resources that an organization possesses pale in comparison to the capabilities, knowledge and skills that employees bring to the firm. Organizational behavior is defined as the actions of individuals and groups in an organizational context. Those actions are guided by the organization as they focus on acquiring, developing and applying the knowledge and skills of people which is managing organizational behavior. The company can then organize and manage people's knowledge and skills effectively to implement the organization's strategy and gain a competitive edge, known as strategic OB approach. The value a company puts on their largest asset, human capital, can make or break the success of an organization. There are three factors that influence the behavior...

...The short-term memory/long-term memory distinction If there is a difference between short- and long-term memory stores, there are two possible ways in which these stores may differ: in duration, and in capacity. A duration difference means that items in short-term storage decay from this sort of storage as a function of time. A capacity difference means that there is a limit in how many items short-term storage can hold. If there is only a limit in capacity, a number of items smaller than the capacity limit could remain in short-term storage until they are replaced by other items. Both types of limit are controversial. Therefore, in order to assess the usefulness of the short-term storage concept, duration and capacity limits will be assessed in turn. Short-term memory is used to remember a number looked up in a telephone book. Students who cram for a test retain the information in their short-term memory. Important life moments, such as the birth of a child, are stored in a person's long-term memory. Looking through old photos will likely trigger long-term memories. Bottom of Form Short-term and long-term memory, while closely related, have many differences. Long-term memory is used to store information, memories, skill sets and procedural knowledge that can be readily retrieved when needed, both voluntarily and involuntarily. Short-term memory is designed to retain information for a brief period of time, after which it is then either forgotten or stored permanently...

...introduction new alternative as electric vehicle. The proposition that would be tested is ‘There would be a significant positive impact on the Almaty’s ecological environment and city’s economy from the increased number of enforcing electric cars by residents and non residents of Almaty.’ This research is not trying to give precise economic cost of substitution gasoline cars to electric and solution to air pollution problem, rather to show people the importance of electric cars that saves money and as alternative with positive environmental benefits. The environmental and expenditure-based approach is implemented in this study to measure the economic and ecological impact of enforcing electric cars in Almaty. To support the arguments of ecological impact the interviews and questionnaires result from particular specialist in this area is provided. The results of questionnaire are interesting and peculiar, since answers are different and I have found logical connection between answers on different questions. In this research I tried to make questions to get more specific answers and statistics, and compare our Kazakhstani market with Europe and U.S. markets. The result of research showed that enforcing electric cars in country...
