...MARKETING TERM PAPER TOPIC: Marketing of Kerala BY SHARAN C.K USN : 12PB12MBA16 INTRODUCTION According to the American Marketing Association, "Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large. From a societal point of view, marketing is the link between a society’s material requirements and its economic patterns of response. Marketing satisfies these needs and wants through exchange processes and building long term relationships. It is the process of communicating the value of a product or service through positioning to customers. Marketing can be looked at as an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, delivering and communicating value to customers, and managing customer relationships in ways that also benefit the organisation and its shareholders. Marketing is the science of choosing target markets through market analysis and market segmentation, as well as understanding consumer buying behaviour and providing superior customer value A practice involving the application of branding and sales strategies to different regions, cities, states or countries.

...Death in Paganism Pagans believe that death is such an important process in nature that, without it, life could not exist. From the moment of birth the cells in the body are endlessly dying and being replaced. They believe that the body that dies is not the body that was born. we continuously shed and rework our appearance, our attitudes and our habits as we change from one stage of life to the next. The person that dies is only one of the many people we became throughout our lives. Many Pagan’s believe that if they are to be able to think beyond the conventional view of death, they need to ask themselves if the fear of death is rooted in an earlier, version of themselves that should have been let go. It is understood that each person needs to seek other ways in which to view both life and death; There are a few different ways for Pagans to see life and death, all of them are cyclical patterns, involving that same necessary change. The Wheel of Life The first way to see life and death is called The Wheel of Life. The Wheel of Life tells us that our existence is a constant pattern of cyclical change. Life is constantly changing into death and each moment of death is a moment of rebirth. They acknowledge beginnings and endings within this wheel, but the flow of existence is never-ending. The Wheel of Life is not only a figurative notion but a physical tool as well. The tool itself is a sacred tool often passed down through the family and is unique to each family. That...

...CASIO IN LUXARY WATCH INDUSTRY Market Analysis The mission of Casio's product development is to create something where there was nothing before - what Casio calls going from "0" to "1." By creating totally original products, Casio strongly believes that they add fun and convenience to daily life and pioneers new cultural trends. "Demand-creating" products, which Casio’s opinion will create markets of their own, produce economic and technological ripple effects. Strategic advantages of Casio in product development are realized by focusing on the following two core areas: 1. Superb product planning driven by accurate assessments of people's needs 2. Superior technologies to make products that meet those needs Competitive strategy in the luxury watchmaking industry: Per Michael Porter, the three fundamental competitive strategies for outperforming competitors in a long term perspective in luxury watch market are (i) differentiation, (ii) overall cost leadership and (iii) focus. These strategies are defined using the criteria of strategic advantage and strategic target. In order to implement these strategies correctly, companies need to develop different skills, gather particular resources and have an adequate organization of the company as in the following figure. Each of these strategy provide defense against the Porter’s five forces. Companies usually set one of these strategies as their primary target, but it is rare to find these strategies totally “pure”...

...the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI). While I have never realized that dream, it did spark in me an extremely strong desire for knowledge and wisdom of pure science, which has evolved into an even greater desire to understand the fundamental properties of this universe. It’s ironic really, because, according to Philosophy: The Power of Ideas, Western philosophy began when Thales of Greece considered the possibility that there must be some “fundamental kind of stuff” everything in the universe is made of. (Moore 22) While Thales was on the right track, he was wrong to suggest that thing was water, but his reasoning was based on logic. Despite being incorrect, Thales assumptions led to the beginning of metaphysics, the study of a simpler underlying reality, and that is what physics is today. In fact, theoretical physicists of today do just about anything they can to make their equations simpler. For example, we believe there are four fundamental forces of the universe: gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. Each one of these forces alone is represented by ugly, chaotic equations. In an attempt to “splice” all four equations together, each equation was revised to include a component that allowed the forces to operate in 10 dimensions instead of the four we are familiar with. Low and behold, after the adjustment, the equations magically fit together like puzzle pieces in a theory called heterotic string theory, also known as M-theory...

The Ragamuffin Mystery CHAPTER ONE Off in the Caravan “This is going to be just about the most exciting holiday we’ve ever had!” said Roger, carrying a suitcase and bag down to the front door. “Diana, bring that pile of books, will you, before we forget them?” Diana picked them up and ran down the stairs after Roger. At the front door stood a caravan. Diana stood and gloated over it for about the twentieth time. “Fancy Dad buying a caravan!” she said. “And oh, what a pity he can’t come with us after all!” “Yes - after all our plans!” said Roger. “Still, it’s a jolly good thing Mummy didn’t back out, when she heard Dad had to go off to America - I was awfully afraid she would! My heart went into my boots, I can tell you.” “Same here,” said Diana, stacking the books neatly on a shelf in the caravan. “Have we got our bird-book - we’ll see plenty of birds on our travels, and that’s my holiday task - writing an essay on ‘Birds I have seen’.” “Well, don’t forget to take the field-glasses then,” said Roger. “They’re hanging in the hall. I say - what did you think about Mummy asking Miss Pepper to come with us, now that Daddy can’t manage?” Miss Pepper was a very old friend of their mother’s. The children were fond of her - but Roger felt rather doubtful about having her on a caravan holiday with them. “You see - she’s all right in a house...

...Global Issues | Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Gender equality is a human right,1 but our world faces a persistent gap in access to opportunities and decision-making power for women and men.2 Globally, women have fewer opportunities for economic participation than men, less access to basic and higher education, greater health and safety risks, and less political representation.2 Guaranteeing the rights of women and giving them opportunities to reach their full potential is critical not only for attaining gender equality, but also for meeting a wide range of international development goals. Empowered women and girls contribute to the health and productivity of their families, communities, and countries, creating a ripple effect that benefits everyone. The word gender describes the socially-constructed roles and responsibilities that societies consider appropriate for men and women.17 Gender equality means that men and women have equal power and equal opportunities for financial independence, education, and personal development 3 . Women's empowerment is a critical aspect of achieving gender equality. It includes increasing a woman's sense of self-worth, her decision-making power, her access to opportunities and resources, her power and control over her own life inside and outside the home, and her ability to effect change.4 Yet gender issues are not focused on women alone, but on the relationship between men and women in society.5 The actions and attitudes of men and...
