This process helps the company to develop awareness to their brands for the new product. Frilo-lay markets their chips and dips under several categories of brand names. When people tend to buy a certain product like chips, they might consider buying the dips as well since a certain synergy would exist between certain products that would increase sales. This occurs when brand extensions are used for complementary products. Decision to go back to Miller’s original packaging is a good idea. However, not all brand extensions are successful.

...How To Create A Plot Outline I'll describe each of the eight elements in turn. If you already have an idea for a novel you're working on, open your file or get a pad of paper or your writer's notebook.

A collection of people with a shared purpose and a commitment to working together. Everyone knows the purpose of the team and achieve this together. 2.2 There are five different types of team: Formal – These are teams created for a specific purpose and people are allocated a specific role set up to perform a task or group of tasks. They have more rules and clear expectations: interviewing new members of staff, welcome team, customer services and management team. Informal – This type of team is less structured, with less rules and expectations. It could be a group of employees discussing new ideas. Temporary – This type of team is set up for short periods of time to complete a task. The nature of the project is clarified from the beginning and members come together to agree a team plan. Clear roles are given so each member knows what is expected and the team splits up when the project is finished. Permanent – With this team the members work together continuously i.e. the work is normally ongoing. Roles and patterns of behaviour are developed over time with a clear purpose and everyone knows what is expected of them. Project – A group of individuals...

...How To Develop A Research Strategy Gen/200 Date Instructor How To Develop A Research Strategy In this paper I have identified a problem I face in my day-to-day life, which is time management. I will discuss how to develop a research strategy to find a solution to my time management problem and include what information should be gathered, where the information can be obtained, how I evaluate the information that I gather, and explain how I will use the information to resolve the problem. Briefly Describe Problem One big problem I notice in my day-to-day life is the feeling like there isn’t enough time in the day to accomplish all the things I want to finish. At least not without some short cuts, or not giving a task the full attention it requires. On top of my already busy schedule, I decided to go back to school. This means managing my time properly is going to have to be priority number one. A lot of times, for me, time management means to just do less during a day or whatever the span of time is. Sometimes just doing less isn’t an option, for those times, it is going to be good to know other strategies to help me make more effective use of my time. Identify What Type of Information To Gather In order to find ways for me to improve my time management skills I need to gather information such as research and studies that have been done to help university students. For even more specific information I can search for articles, peer-reviewed papers...

...How a child develops in the womb. From the moment of conception, rapid cellular division begins and initiates the start of a child's development in the womb. The developing embryo will go through many changes. From the development of organs and bones to eyes, ears, and tiny feet and hands, what once was an egg and sperm will become a child. Fertilization A sperm must locate the mature egg in the fallopian tube. Once the sperm fertilizes the egg, the egg, which is now a blastocyst, will continue to move down the fallopian tube into the uterus. On or about the seventh day, the blastocyst develops chorionic villi, hairlike structures used to absorb nutrients for the growth of the embryo, which enable it to implant into the lining of the uterine wall. According to Biology of Reproduction, the chorionic villi in the placenta function as necessary structures in exchanges between the fetus and mother. Blastocyst The blastocyst will develop into two separate parts. The outer cells develop into the placenta. According to What to Expect, the placenta carries nutrients and oxygen to and waste materials away from the fetus. The inner cells of the blastocyst will form into the embryo. The amniotic sac will form an inner layer of membranes that will fill with amniotic fluids, which will protect the developing embryo for the remainder of the pregnancy. Embryonic The embryonic stage of development is characterized by the formation of the external body structures and internal organs....

...“How am I doing as a leader?” asks Larry Bossidy, CEO of AlliedSignal in a meeting with his operating mangers. “The answer is, how are the people you lead doing? Do they learn? Do they visit customers? Do they manage conflict and initiate change? Are they growing and being promoted? “When you retire, you won’t remember what you did in the first quarter of 1994, or the third. You’ll remember how many people you developed – how many you helped have a better career because of your interest and dedication to their development. When you’re confused about how you’re doing as a leader, find out how the people you lead are doing. You’ll know the answer.” Andy Grove, CEO of Intel: Roger Enrico, CEO of PepsiCo; Jack Welch, CEO of General Electric; and Admiral Ray Smith of the U.S. Special Operations Command agree with Bossidy. All are respected leaders of successful organizations that constantly outthink and outmaneuver their competitors. Though those leaders have been 1 2 instrumental in their companies’ success, they have also built large pools of talent. They have contributed to their organizations’ success by personally developing leaders at all levels.

...dedication of his goal. Some of his most famous works are the Appalachian spring which won the 1945 pulitzer prize for music and Fanfare for the Common man. Copland’s parents were both Jewish immigrants from Lithuania and he was born November 14, 1990 in Brooklyn. Copland’s parents had five children and Copland was the youngest. For much of his early childhood, Copland and his siblings would work in his parent’s shop called H.M. Copland’s. Copland’s mother, Sarah Mittenthal Copland, was an avid supporter of music and provided music lessons to all her children. His first encounter with music began early on as he developed an interest in playing the piano, and was able to learn how to play the piano from his older sister, Laurine. Laurine supposedly had the strongest relationship with Aaron as she not only taught him how to play the piano but would often bring pieces of music from her studies at the Metropolitan Opera school and the opera’s that he attended. At the age of Eleven, Copland began to dabble in composition, creating a scenario which is called Zenatello. Zenatello contained only seven measures of music, but was the very first recorded notated works. Copland’s musical training began with Leopold Wolfsohn, who taught him the standard classical fare. At age 15, Copland decided on the path to becoming a composer after attending a concert by IGnacy Jan Paderewski, who was both a composer and a pianist. Copland later studied under Rubin Goldmark, a prominent instructor, who gave Copland...

Due to their diverse Hindu tradition growing and the technology advancing. During the years of Mughal and British rule over India, Hindus lost hope of maintaining their beautiful culture. They were afraid that Hinduism was being diluted into something it wasn’t. To overcome that hurdle, Hindus made several scripts to expand the wisdom and knowledge of Hinduism. They were known as the Vedic scriptures. Those scriptures brought much attention to Hinduism, resulting in many more devotees to the distinct...

...Mesopotamia, the land between the rivers, and also was one of the first civilizations for humans. The two most important words in the statement above are land and rivers, because that allowed the humans to settle, and it gave them all the resources they needed. The Euphrates and Tigris Rivers, were the reason why people settled. The rivers provided people with fresh water, transportation, it started trade between the different civilizations, and when the rivers would flood, all the water would moisten the soil and relieve the area from the arid climate. The land was the Fertile Crescent. The Fertile Crescent took up most of Mesopotamia, and most people settled on it because of the two rivers. The land was settled upon because of the climate, the farming conditions, and the water sources. After people settled and started to live a normal life, the first empire came about in Akkad, and was led by Sargon. The Akkadian Empire started the next stage of civilizations, which included various new technologies, such as writing. The Euphrates and Tigris Rivers gave the early settlers everything they needed from fresh water to the the beginning of trade. The use of fresh water in that area was extremely necessary because of the arid climate. In the summer, temperatures could reach up to 130 degrees, and without water, the death rate would have been much higher. Once a year there was a time known as the flood season. In the Mesopotamian culture and religion, the gods controlled everything...

...lack of effective methods of teaching. For example, many schools in Vietnam now force the students to learn by heart a lot and the test after each semester only test the students' abilities to remember the contents of the textbook. They also don't have chances to practice and experiment. I think a good school is a school with modern equipment and it is where the students are taught how to think, how to learn so they can work more sufficient in the future and that is the reason why I want to build a standard school. A school with modern facilities to support the students during the time they are learning at school and a large library with a plenty of books for them to find out anything they want can encourage them to learn more at their best. One of my friends is now studying in Australia. When she was still in Vietnam, she often got bored with the lessons so she never paid enough attention to the lessons. As a result, her score was really bad. But now, since she moved to Australia to study, she has made a great progress in learning, she always tells me about the interesting subjects at school and how they do research with the help of modern equipment and I think I find her more intelligent in some ways. A standard school like that will receive much more excellent students than other schools. Because every school wants to make their schools better, I think they will invest more in changing the method of...
