...hope is to develop a new model that will appeal to both men and women to further attract a higher percentage of females, as well as male buyers new to the brand. Another way Porsche would like to see growth is within their dealer network. In several states, Porsche lost almost 50% of their dealers. The idea is to gain some of that percentage back. The question is, what steps can Porsche take to attract more women to the brand and increase their dealer network to achieve the growth they are seeking. I have I identified two possible solutions. The first solution that I propose would be to develop a hybrid in both the Boxster and the Cayenne. People are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious and are concerned about their carbon footprint. Hybrid cars are becoming increasingly more popular and sought after. There would be several advantages for Porsche if they were to develop a hybrid. The Boxster and the Cayenne are the models that have most appealed to female buyers. Developing a hybrid in these two models would not only attract more women to the brand, it would also succeed in luring more males to the brand. A hybrid would appeal to the demographic of the male buyer who views his car as an escape but feels some guilt at owning the brand. Developing a hybrid would help alleviate some of the guilt the buyer, both male and female may feel about owning a Porsche. Another advantage would be the cost. Due to the fact that the models are already designed and...

...major promotional methods used in business either by the people employed, by the total expenditures, or by the expenses as a percentage of sales. This paper will discuss developing a personal selling philosophy, selling factors style in a global environment, and examining a fit assessment. Creating a Personal Selling Philosophy Personal selling is the interactive process whereby a buyer and a seller negotiate an exchange process. It is usually, though not necessarily, carried out in a fact-to-face encounter between the parties [ (Blythe, 2009) ]. Personal selling is tailored specifically to respond to the customers’ needs and resolve their problem. Salespeople are encouraged to develop a personal selling philosophy based on the three prescriptions: adopt the marketing concepts, value personal selling and assume the role of a problem solver or partner. Sales trainers and writers have emphasized the problem-solving aspects of selling for many years now: the most successful presentations are those in which the customer does most of the talking (Blythe, 2009). Often times, customers will tell the salesperson exactly how to sell them the product (provided they are allowed to talk), problem-solving is at the core of the activity rather than one-way communication via the salesperson. Personal Selling Models and Methods There are several different approaches in personal selling which include but are not limited to value creation...

...Patient-Centered Care Delivery Model, a Multidisciplinary Team Approach NR532 Healthcare Operational Planning and Management Patient-Centered Care Delivery Model, a Multidisciplinary Team Approach Increased emphasis from the Institute Of Medicine (IOM) and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) on improving quality, safety and reducing care cost has brought forth challenges among hospital executives (Cama, 2009). Nurse executives must develop low cost, innovative and effective ways to deliver patient care. The focus of this manuscript is to develop and implement a care delivery model emphasized in a patient-centered care delivery model using multidisciplinary team approach. Patient-centered Care Delivery Model According to the Institute of Health Improvement (IHI), “patient-centered family care is care through a patient’s experience that is coordinated, informed and grounded in respectful interactions with providers that are consistent with the patient’s values, expectations and care decisions” (Balik, 2011). Evidence-based practice has drastically increased this past decade with one of its cornerstones being “patient-centered care and nursing being at the frontline to lead this change. Professional nurses are prepared to effectively lead the healthcare team to achieve patient and organizational goals. Patients are unique in every facet of their needs and therefor multiple disciplines are critical to best deliver patient-centered outcome (Cama, 2009)...

...Identification In a 3-year period, Hewlett-Packard (HP) brought in $500 million through the use of operations research (Turban, Sharda, Delen. (2011)). HP also generated billions of dollars from customers from around the world. The conglomerate produces thousands of laser printers, enterprise servers and storage products. As a result of the increased number of products that HP supplies, the company also undertakes additional cost associated with these new innovations. For this reason, HP experienced a decrease in revenue due to unplanned operational costs. HP has worked diligently towards meeting and exceeding customer expectations. Unfortunately, managing millions of new products lead to increased cost and inefficiency. HP recognized that its company was providing millions of choices for customer satisfaction without a high return on investment. HP’s marketing and sales departments requested more SKU’s, more features and more configurations to meet consumer interests. However the supply chain managers wanted less complexity and were interested in more predictable order cycle times. HP needed to implement a fact-based, data-driven tool to improve decision making. HP developed a team of individuals internally and externally from consultancies and universities to help with the challenges the company faced. This team developed a process for evaluating new products for introduction, created a tool for prioritizing existing products in a portfolio, and developed an algorithm...

...SOCIAL SECURITY FOR DEVELOPING NATIONS “If a free society cannot help the many who are poor; it cannot save the few who are rich.” ~ John F. Kennedy, Kennedy’s Inaugural address of 1961. "Social Security. . . reflects some of our deepest values--the duties we owe to our parents, the duties we owe to each other when we’re differently situated in life, the duties we owe to our children and our grandchildren. Indeed, it reflects our determination to move forward across generations and across the income divides in our country, as one America." ~ William J. Clinton INTRODUCTION Social security is a program that uses public funds to provide economic security to the public in case they suffer from a contingency. Usually Germany is known as the first country to have started with this program. It was designed by the German Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck. It was done by him to promote the well-being of workers for an efficient economy. Although social security tends towards socialism, Bismarck was a staunch “right” supporter. In fact, he launched this plan to stave off proposals of radical socialism. The American Civil War also saw some true government relief programmes that could be called as social security programmes. The Civil War Pension Program was signed into law in 1862 and provided funds to American soldiers who were disabled in battle. In 1937, Franklin Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act. In 1950, social security also adjusted it according to the prevalent...

There are three common patterns to design a curriculum: through subject – centered, experience – centered, and problem – centered. These are incorporated into the curriculum by looking into its possible effects to the certain elements mentioned above. A design that addresses to the conceptual framework of science education of K to 12 Basic Education Program for example is subject – centered. The science curriculum aims to raise awareness among learners through developing a scientific literacy by hands – on, minds – on and heart – on activities with application on the social, health, or environmental aspects as an individual.

...of the World Market for Mangos and its Importance for Developing Countries1 Jedele, Stefan, Angela Maria Hau, Matthias von Oppen University of Hohenheim, Agricultural Marketing in the Tropics and Subtropics, 70593 Stuttgart, Germany 1 Introduction To date, developing countries are facing massive economic and social problems. One possible way out of this misery seems to be the opening of the economy in order to participate in the gains arising from international trade. By increasing export volume and export revenues, developing countries expect to create a momentum and, thus, the impetus to stimulate the overall economy (Borchert, 2001: 497). 1.1 Problem Statement The importance of trade for the development process cannot be denied and neither can the importance of agriculture for the overall economy. In the 1950s and 1960s, agriculture was predominantly viewed as an exploitation source of production factors for more dynamic sectors of the economy. This opinion has since been heavily rejected. The role of agriculture has been elevated from a sector merely supplying resources to nourish industrialization to a sector of utmost importance, which increases export earnings, improves the employment situation, and raises the level of food security of developing countries (Alexandratos, 1995: 257-258). 1.2 Objectives and Hypothesis This paper deals with the importance of the world trade of agricultural products for developing countries. It examines and analyses the world mango market...

...DEVELOPING MULTICULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS: A CHANGE MODEL by Evangelina Holvino, Ed.D. Multicultural organization development (MCOD) is a process of change that supports an organization moving from a monocultural – or exclusive – organization to a multicultural – or inclusive, diverse and equitable – organization. The approach requires an initial assessment of where the organization is and a commitment to a vision of where it wants to be in the future. From an analysis of the gap between where the organization is and where it wants to be, specific interventions are then designed to accomplish the identified change goals. The MCOD model, based on earlier work by Jackson and Holvino, provides a useful way for an organization to: 1. frame an initial assessment of where it is on the path to multiculturalism, 2. decide on a vision of multiculturalism it wants, and 3. select appropriate goals and interventions to support its desired vision. THE MULTICULTURAL ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT MODEL MONOCULTURAL Exclusionary Committed to the dominance, values and norms of one group. Actively excludes in its mission and practices those who are not members of the dominant group. Passive Club Actively or passively excludes those who are not members of the dominant group.

...COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT AND SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS DISCUSS THE VARIOUS ECONOMIC GROWTH THEORIES AND DEVELOPMENT THEORIES HOW CAN SUCH THEORIES BE USED IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA. COURSE TITLE THEORY OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COURSE CODE;ECO 2911 INTRODUCTION According to Dennis Goulet in The Cruel Choice, “it matters little how much information we possess about development if we have not grasped its inner meaning”. Development is not purely an economic phenomenon. In an ultimate sense, it must encompass more than the material and financial sides of people’s lives, to expand human freedom. Every nation strives after development. Development and growth should therefore be perceived as a multidimensional process involving the reorganization and reorientation of the entire economic and social systems. The sources of economic progress can be traced to a variety of factors, but by and large, investments that improve the quality of existing physical and human resources, increase the quantity of these same productive resources, and raise the productivity of all or specific resources through invention , innovation and technological progress have been and will continue to be primary factors in stimulating economic growth in any society. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THEORIES Definition of economic development It can be defined as the increase in the standard of living of a nation's population with sustained growth from a simple, low-income economy...
