...Coco Chanel At the start of the twentieth century, the idea of women in business seemed crazy. In those days, men held all the positions of power and made all the decisions about money. They believed that a woman’s place was in the home, looking after her children, cooking for her family and managing the house. If a woman needed to work she could perhaps find a job in a shop or in a factory, but she had no chance of working as a businesswoman or a banker or a lawyer. Women’s fashions in the US and Europe at that time supported this idea of their position in society. Fashionable women wore long dresses that almost touched the ground. This made it difficult for them to drive a car, ride a horse or even walk quickly. As a result, they needed men to arrange their travel for them. But many women weren’t happy with their position in society, and they didn’t like the clothes they had to wear either. One of these people was a Frenchwoman called Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel. Famed fashion designer Coco Chanel was born Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel on August 19, 1883, in Saumur, France. With her trademark suits and little black dresses, Coco Chanel created timeless designs that are still popular today. Her early years, however, were anything but glamorous. After her mother’s death, Chanel was put in an orphanage by her father who worked as a peddler. She was raised by nuns who taught her how to sew—a skill that would lead to her life’s work. Her nickname came from another occupation entirely...

...“How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something, but to become someone” -Coco Chanel. In the 1920’s it was almost expected to make something of yourself and that’s exactly what Coco Chanel did. As a successful fashion designer and business woman, she went very far in her lifetime. From her clothing, to her jewelry, to her perfume, Chanel knew exactly what women wanted to buy. Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, also known as “Coco” Chanel, was born in Saumur, France on August 19, 1883. As a child, she grew up in poverty with her parents along with her five siblings. At 12, her life changed for the worst. Coco’s mother, Jeanne Devolle, died of bronchitis in 1895. After this tragedy took place, Coco’s father decided he didn’t want to take...

...Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for the Coles Group of Australia By Aruna Kulatunga MGG9352 Management Processes and Systems. Semester 1, 2007 Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for Coles Group Executive Summary The Coles Group of Australia has allowed its competitive advantage to slip away to rival Woolworth by failing to differentiate its core strategies and by failing to articulate well the strategies that could have been differentiated. In a bid to gain competitive advantage, this report suggests that the Coles Group should look beyond the company boundaries, extending its value chain to suppliers, partners and customers in a seamless manner, employ process like Total Quality Management and Business Process Reengineering in extending the value chain, bedded in a well structured change management programme and look towards globalisation and franchising along with such counter-intuitive, yet innovative, location strategies such as competitive clustering and saturation marketing to regain its competitive advantage. Page 2 23/10/07 Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for Coles Group Introduction Strategy gurus Porter (1998, p. 2), Mintzberg (1994), Hamel (1998), Hamel and Prahalad, (1994) Champy and Nohria (1996) and Hammer (quoted in Champy and Nohria, (1996)) agree in principle that in order to meet business needs, specific actions need to be...

...Memo for S-S Technologies a) S-S Technologies’ organizational purpose is for manageable growth, focusing on products within the company’s scope and skills. b) Using the framework in CoCo’s guidance on control to evaluate S-S, in my view, the control system of S-S is not efficient in some area. Firstly, from the aspect of purpose, s-s has its objectives, but as we can know from the consultants’ interviews, few employees were aware of SST’s goals and strategies. SST also don’t have specific policies to support the achievement of its objectives, for instance, there was no policy regarding bonus or merit pay. Secondly, from the aspect of commitment, SST has high commitment and employees loved the work environment. However, as we can know from the consultants’ interviews, the responsibilities are not clear among the managers or workers. Some employee felt cheated because SST could not afford to pay bonus. Thirdly, the employees in SST do have necessary knowledge and skills and knew whom to contact for technical information. However, in terms of performance appraisal, it was not done at regular intervals, people also don’t know whom to contact about benefits and salary ranges. The decisions and actions of different parts of the SST are not coordinated. What’s more, it doesn’t have efficient monitoring processes. SST can’t reassess its related information systems as condition change. c) Example of market: in early 1990, the North American economy was in a recession...

...decided not to focus on her as my topic. After doing some long, hard research I came to a conclusion that I would do my topic on The Boston Tea Party. I already knew a lot about that topic because I studied The Boston Tea Party in fifth grade. This topic is important to history because it sparked the revolution and led to our freedom today. Since it took me a while to figure out my topic, I had no time to work on my research during class. Thanksgiving break came and it was the perfect time for exploration on my topic. I found many useful sites online with important facts which I took note on a google document. My friend, Coco, invited me to come to the library with her to look up books on our topics. We went to the Mission Viejo Library. Coco’s mom was very helpful with finding books because she knew her way around the library. I found one great book on my topic. The research I did made a big impact on helping me understand the topic more and creating my board. Creating my entry was a bit of a struggle because I have done lots of research and have worked for many hours. I found a surplus of information and I encountered the problem of trying to figure out what was the most important information to share. After a lot of thought I determined which were the most understandable and relatable facts and opinions. All of these directly relate to my thesis, topic, and arguments. I was able to find some photos that go with my topic off of websites that I used for my board. This year's...

...cannot live forever. I thought of their garden, as the Garden of Eden. When God made Adam and Eve leave the garden, they came down to Earth, and they could die now. In the Garden of Eden, you cannot die. Sarah was now a grown up, and had her own children. She is now 30 years old, and because of that, she is stronger mentally. One day she was making breakfast, when the telephone rang. It was a boy named Nick. He said, that a boy died in a car accident. The boy who was Sarah’s son Mark’s best friend. Peter was his name. Peter was at a party, and Mark had a thought of going, but did not go. Sarah compared it to her brothers dead. She had a hard time getting over her brother’s death. Sarah’s daughter Coco asked if Mark was going to be okay. ‘’Coco’s asked me, if he’s going to be ok, and I tell her that he will. And I know he will (…) it’ll take some more time’’. Mark asks Sarah what is like to lose a brother. Sarah shows Mark a picture of her and Terry. At first she did not want to show the picture to Mark, but then she released, that you need to talk about death, you cannot shut down, like Mark did. He went to school, straight home, and closed his door. While Mark is looking at the picture, Sarah says: ‘‘it was hard (…) there is no secret answer’’. In that sentence she takes Mark and us back to her childhood. The main themes are this short story would be death and grief. It is too soon to die, when you are still a kid, and no one deserves to live through stuff like early deaths....

...Establishment and recognition: 1909 through 1920s In 1909, Gabrielle Chanel opened a shop on the ground floor of Étienne Balsan's apartment in Paris—the beginnings of what would later become one of the greatest fashion empires in the world.[1] The Balsan home was a meeting place of the hunting elite of France and the gentlemen brought their fashionable mistresses along, giving Coco the opportunity to sell the women decorated hats. During this time, Coco Chanel struck up a relationship with Arthur 'Boy' Capel, a member of the Balsan men's group. He saw a businesswoman in Coco and helped her acquire her location at 31 Rue Cambon in Paris by 1910.[1] There was already a couture shop in the building, and so Coco was not allowed in her lease to produce couture dresses.[1] In 1912, Coco Chanel opened her first millinery shop in Paris and in 1913, Chanel introduced women's sportswear at her new boutique in Deauville and Biarritz, France. Chanel's designs tended to be simple rather than opulent in look. She detested the fashions of women who came to these resort towns.[1][3] World War I affected fashion. Coal was scarce and women were doing the factory jobs that men had held prior to the war; they needed warm clothing that would stand up to working conditions. Chanel fossella's designs from this era were affected by the new idea of women's sports. During World War I, Coco opened another larger shop on Rue Cambon in front of the Hôtel Ritz Paris.[1] Here she sold flannel blazers, straight...

...INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SETTINGS / DESIGNER CASE STUDY RESEARCH TASK FASHION DESIGN Fashion design - brand : CHANEL History of Chanel No.5 Chanel No.5 is the first perfume launched by French couturier Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel in 5 May, 1921. The chemical formula for the fragrance was compounded by French-Russian chemist and perfumer Ernest Beaux. The number 5 to Coco Chanel means good luck. She released this perfume on the 5th day of the 5th month and it's main sent is May rose and jasmine. Coco's famous quote on Chanel No.5 is “what is very important in a fragrance, is that the fragrance has some kind of mystery” The Chanel No.5 journey starts of in the fields of May roses at the Mul family's generations-old flower farm, in Pégomas, France. The weather is perfect for growing and picking roses: fresh and not too warm. Every single rose that goes into each bottle of No. 5 parfum is harvested by hand right there. A 30mL bottle of No. 5 parfum contains 1,000 jasmine flowers and 12 May roses - all from this same field. On average, it takes an hour and 20 minutes for a flower to go from being plucked in the field to being processed in the factory. Workers gently place the roses in the pockets of their aprons and transfer them into big burlap sacks; once these sacks are full, they’re loaded onto flatbed trailers and pulled by tractor back to the plant. Jean-Francois Vieille, a cousin of Joseph Mul’s, oversees operations at the prettily landscaped Sotraflor...

...Danceable Fashion or Fashionable Dance: Either way, it works! A Concept Paper Presented to Prof. Robert Rodriguez Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences University of the Philippines in the Visayas, Miagao, Iloilo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Course in Communications 2 By Nohr Malynne Tabares February 5, 2013 There’s an exciting fashion trend happening – dance. The dance and fashion industries seem to be increasingly joining forces, with dance companies commissioning high profile designers and fashion labels turning to dancers to optimally show off their clothes. The collision of the worlds of fashion and dance creates alchemy beyond the reach of either one alone. Fashion is made to move in the world, and dance is extreme motion. The interaction between dance and fashion inspires new ideas for stories and forms of expression, and brings new audiences to both art forms. This season, as the fashion industry becomes more competitive, a string of in-demand models with serious dance backgrounds literally have a leg up. At the same time, as the pages of this fall’s set of weighty magazines attest, professional dancers are influencing fashion in ways never seen before. The pathway to becoming a dancer may vary, but most people start by taking classes at a local dance school. If the goal is to become a professional dancer, this is followed by auditioning for an organization that specializes in full-time dance training, completing...

Throughout this paper I am going to discuss some of the communication events that I encountered in my time with Amy Rhine from The Giant Center. The Giant Center is a multi-purpose arena operated by Hershey Entertainment and Resorts Company. The Giant Center is located in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The day of my observation was on Sunday, March 3, 2013. My observation took place over a weekend; therefore, I did not need to get permission to be excused from classes to complete this assignment. I lived in Annville, Pennsylvania my whole life, which is just a few miles away from Hershey. I was already familiar with the Giant Center before we were assigned this project. Alex Sweeney, a former student in the Organizational Communications class, made me aware of this opportunity.

...1. For each of the following marketing problems/situations, identify the appropriate research design(s) (i.e., exploratory, descriptive and/or causal) for the market research study. Some or all of the studies may require more than one research design. Explain your recommendations. a. When Frito-Lay first entered the Thailand market, Ms. Janjaree Thanma who directed marketing for Frito-Lay in Bangkok, Thailand, was faced with a number of marketing problems. First of all, she had to decide on the flavor for the chips. She was told that the favorite flavors of Thais were prawn and tom yam. However, that did not necessarily mean putting these flavors in the chips. Frito-Lay had learned that lesson in China. Second, she was not sure whether the Thais would accept a Western snack like potato chips. She thought she had better get some information about definite demand before she took over the production plant from the Thai partner and hired 1,500 farmers to grow potatoes for Frito-Lay. (5 points) For the first question, she should use exploratory method to do the research. First, because the company first entered the market, she has no useful information to base on. Even though she was told that Prawn and Tomyam are the favorite flavors for Thais, this information cannot be made up into an assumption that the two flavor chips would be the potential products. Second, if the prawn chips and Tom Yam chips are not accepted by the audiences, they cannot make conclusion and...

...Chanel ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Bottom of Form * Born: August 19, 1882 in Saumur, France * Died: January 10, 1971 in Paris, France * Nationality: French * Occupation: Fashion designer Legend. Coco Chanel once declared, "Legend is the consecration of celebrity," and no other fashion designer in history has exceeded either Chanel's celebrity or her legend. She was a fiercely independent lover of dukes, industrialists, and artists; a confidante of many of the creative geniuses of her day—among them, writer Jean Cocteau, painter Pablo Picasso, ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev, and composer Igor Stravinsky; and a self-created image of the free-spirited "new woman" of the 1920s. Through her personal example and the fashion empire she established, Chanel launched and sustained the movement toward simplicity, practicality, and unfussy elegance in women's clothing. "A fashion that does not reach the streets is not a fashion," she said, and by the early years of the 1920s, Chanel fashion had reached streets throughout Europe and the United States. Early Life. Chanel both obscured and embroidered upon the facts of her early life; as one of her biographers declared, "She was herself a Chanel creation." Though she claimed to have been born in Auvergne in 1893, records show that she was actually born in the poorhouse of the town of Saumur ten years earlier. Her mother, a poorhouse employee, and her father, an itinerant tradesman, were...
