...Pam and Susan’s is a chain of discount department stores.* The original store was opened in the South in the mid-1950s by Pam and Susan’s father. About 10 years ago, Pam and Susan took over operational control of the stores, working together under a joint power sharing arrangement. The unusual management arrangement and consensus decision making by the two women, for which they have received a great deal of publicity, have contributed in part to sales growth and to the recent upsurge in new store openings. Fundamentally, however, their success is based on an uncanny ability to appropriately stock stores and underprice competitors. State-of-the-art business processes are at the core of their low price structure. There are currently 250 Pam and Susan’s stores, mostly located throughout the South. Expansion has been incremental, growing from its Southern base into the Border States and increasingly into the Southwest. Identification of the most appropriate sites for new stores is becoming an issue of increasing strategic importance. Store location decisions are based upon estimates of sales potential. The traditional process leading to estimates of sales potential starts with demographic analyses, site visits, and studies by the company’s real estate experts (augmented by input from local experts). The demographic data judged relevant for a given store location is that for people within a store’s estimated “trading zone,” usually operationalized as consisting of those census...

When I walked in the store I was greeted by the smell of coffee and sound of The Rolling Stones song Monkey Man playing over the store speakers with the owner of the store john singing along to the song and throwing his arms up like a monkey. As soon as you walk into the store your face to face with a giant rack of used DVDs ranging from Driving Miss Daisy to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre I was immediately welcomed by john who sitting down in front of this cash register with a sign on it that read “No Personal...

...choosing the market mode strategy, I would definitely consider the market’s existing conditions that will back me to boost up my company’s bottom line. The first question that would come up is what is the condition of the economic factors of the country that my company has to deal with? It is very clear that for every market entry strategy mode, I need to consider the existing economic issues of the country to confirm my company’s profitability and future, like its inflation rate, interest rates, income levels, currency strength, balance of trade, tax, tariff & Excise Duty, and government controls over these issues. If there is any high inflation rate or the inflation rate is unstable like Zimbabwe, no market entry mode is going to work to ensure my profitability. If there is a high market interest rate that will hamper my future business prospect, I will not consider this country to enhance my business. The income levels of the country’s residence are a significant factor to set up a price of my product and forecasting my probable profit margins. I will consider exchange rate, trade barriers, tax, tariff & excise duty as the key economic factors and also consider the government controls over these factors to ensure better profitability. The second question that would come up is what is the market competition? Competition is surely a major issue as a born business phase. I must consider the...

...attitude in estimating whether it is conspicuous or not. In this essay, I will examine why there is a reality in that behavior and reasons why people may alter in due course. It is undeniable fact that some people are not always passionate about what is popular. In other words, popularity is taken as a major prerequisite for their desire. Therefore, those people tend to entertain themselves by obeying, their real wishes and ignoring what others are doing in their free time. It also should not be forgotten that majority of people are now taking as hobbies notably taking photographs and travelling which have appeared in recent centuries owing to technological revolution. This is especially because human beings are naturally attracted to prominence and they predominantly try to follow it. Obviously, those new areas of interests have pervaded nearly all parts of the world and consequently, examples like new ones produce to collecting coins. There is a growing recognition that creating bizarre characteristics in behavior of humans is occurring due to changes with which our world is facing. As shown above, people are always attracted by popular things which are appeared because of influences of changes, and fashions and they affect what people are enthusiastic about. To date, most of the transformations in people’s behavior have ensued as they have desire for possessing conspicuous position in...

TOEFL Independent Writing 6: Topic List 122 （不限时完整版） Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want something more or something different. Use specific reasons to support your answer. It is universally recognized that people should be satisfied sometimes, they shouldn't be avaricious. Tracing the hidden reasons, this is probably because some people failed their dreams and think accomplishing the goal is impossible for everybody. With the negative impacts of this idea, the human beings cannot develop forward anymore. Whatever, I think the phenomenon that people are never well-pleased with what they have and always pursue something better has to be admitted. By this I mean that people are never satisfied in their daily life. They may have something, but when they see newer things that give them the same function, they will buy again. Also, if they have some kind of thing, and they realize that there are better things in this aspect, they will buy the better ones and throw their older one away. Every year, Apple Inc pose their new iPhone, and then millions of people in the world buy it, many of them have an iPhone, say iPhone 5, and it performances very...

...As a set and/or lighting designer, what effects would you want to create for your audience in Act 1 and Act 2? Explain how your set design/lighting design would change from Act 1 to Act 2. A Doll’s House by Henrick Ibsen is an iconic play expressing harsh truths on social rules and etiquette in the late 1800’s. The play allows a simple yet symbolic set and lighting design – forcing the audience to think and question the play writes intentions as well as the interpretation of the director. The play is over a period of three days; Act 1 is on Christmas Eve and Act 2 being over Christmas day –the set changes over both acts in small but significant ways allowing the audience to understand the detrition of the perfect reality in which Nora lives by. As a set or lighting designer, I would want the audience to experience a tense, chilling and abrupt atmosphere that illuminates the distorted reality, which is being broken slowly. As women during the late 1800’s where not meant to become involved with the dealings of money and business – it was the man’s job. By doing this Nora has brought on a sense of shame and disgrace to her family, as Helmer is lead to believe by the influence of society that he can no longer control his wife. In Act 1, Ibsen indicates to the set and lighting designers how he wishes the play to be set up. From the stage directions I am able to understand that the atmosphere within the opening scene of the play should be ‘comfortable and tasteful’ but ‘not...

...CLARIFYING YOUR VALUES Deep down inside, what is important to you? What do you want your life to stand for? What sort of qualities do you want to cultivate as a person? How do you want to be in your relationships with others? Values are our heart's deepest desires for the way we want to interact with and relate to the world, other people, and ourselves. They are leading principles that can guide us and motivate us as we move through life. Values reflect what you want to do, and how you want to do it. They are about how you want to behave towards your friends, your family, yourself, your environment, your work, etc. Values are not the same as goals. Values involve ongoing action; they are like directions we keep moving in, whereas goals are what we want to achieve along the way. A value is like heading West; a goal is like the river or mountain or valley we aim to cross whilst traveling in that direction. Goals can be achieved or ‘crossed off’, whereas values are ongoing. (No matter how far West you go, you never reach it!) For example, if you want to be a loving, caring, supportive partner, that is a value: it involves ongoing action. In contrast, if you want to get married, that’s a goal - it can be ‘crossed off’ or achieved. If you want a better job, that’s a goal. Once you’ve got it - goal achieved. But if you want to fully apply yourself at work, contribute your best, and engage fully in what you’re doing, that’s a value: it involves ongoing action. PART 1: ...

...17 interview questions that are designed to trick you Savvy hiring managers have honed their ability to ask the fewest questions yielding the greatest depth of information. One way they do this is by asking seemingly simple questions that get you to reveal information you may have been trying to conceal — queries that break through the traditional interview noise and clutter and get to the raw you. In other words: questions designed to trick you. Can you tell me about yourself? Why do they ask this? They ask to determine how the candidates see themselves as it pertains to the position. "The employer wants to hear that the candidate did their homework," says Tina Nicolai, executive career coach and founder of Resume Writers' Ink. "The interviewer is also listening for a level of confidence in how well the candidate portrays herself through the information that is communicated. Additionally, the interviewer is listening for strong behavioral competencies, which help determine a right fit with the job. If this opening answer is weak, it can send the remainder of the interview into a tailspin or cut the interview short." What makes it tricky? It can tempt you to talk about your personal life — which you shouldn't! "Most candidates are not versed in seeing this as a trick question, so they may answer by speaking from a personal perspective: 'I have three kids, I'm married, etc,'" Nicolai says. "Believe it or not, even the most seasoned candidate falls for this question especially...

...only something we use in meetings. Generally it is a way of compromising with another person/s where there are two or more conflicting points of view. There are many reasons why you may want to negotiate and there are several ways to approach it. The following is a few things that you may want to consider. Why Negotiate? If your reason for negotiation is seen as 'beating' the opposition, you’re probably about to embark on fighting a losing battle. This is because you will not be aiming to direct the other person/s to reach a compromise with you, but rather to an outcome that benefits you alone. Ideally when negotiating you will want to aim to be 'friendly' (though assertive) with the aim of reaching agreement that benefits all or most of the parties involved. Planning and How to Negotiate Pre-negotiation preparation Before you decide to negotiate, it is a good idea to prepare. What exactly is it that you want to negotiate? Set out your objectives. For example: - A group of students have asked you to require the University to provide lecture notes before every lecture In order to negotiate you have to take into account how the objective will benefit the University, possibly by offering some sort of incentive: - In the case of the above example the incentives you could raise with the University could be to: - - point to the overall learning benefits to students and more specifically to those students who have learning disabilities. - point...

...Muyiwa Afolabi Do you have your life? Please think about this question, do you really have your life? I've heard statements like ‘get a life’ on many occasions said to people who appear to be different and unconventional especially in matters of socializing. Many also think the whole concept of life and living is about fun, leisure and enjoyment. When an individual is having a great time, you hear remarks like he's enjoying life, when an individual is conservative and somewhat antisocial we conclude he doesn't have a life. Hmmm. What is life? I believe life is a season or a duration when an individual is conscious, aware and involved in matters of this world. It is a period when an individual is expected to fulfil a purpose, serve a purpose, make something great happen, impact the world and influence things positively. I believe we all exist and are in this world to improve things and make better the condition of this earth. We are all here to make the world a better place; to create value, not destroy value, to make people happier, mankind better and humanity more purposeful. We are here to improve the world. This, though being a collective purpose and objective for all mankind, as individuals our place, roles and assignments vary. That's why we are created and gifted differently. Our gifts and talents are indicators of our place, our projects and assignments in this world. The ability to recognise your place, your gift, your sphere and your assignment makes you truly relevant...

...unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This sounds like a sound starting point for an ethical approach. So sound that it has earned itself its golden title. Many philosophies and religions worldwide incorporate this rule, and it is not without surprise. The Golden Rule might not be all-encompassing, and hence its negative form, the Silver Rule, which states: “Do not do unto others as you would not have them do unto you”, was born for complementarity. Together, these rules are based upon the importance of empathy and this ethic of reciprocity has been what many different cultures have resolved conflicts with. However, the Golden Rule is no panacea. Think about it: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This is based upon the assumption that other people would like to be treated the same way that you would like to be treated. And we know instinctively that this cannot always be true, because everyone is different and has differing tastes and preferences. So now what? Could there be another rule that might tie up the loose ends? Enter the Platinum Rule: “Do unto everyone as they would have you do unto them.” This rule obliges us to respect and consider the needs and wants of people, and then act based on this understanding. It is what prevails in gift-giving, in earnest advice-giving, and so on. The focus of the relationship shifts from “this is what I want, so I'll give everyone the same thing" to "let me first understand what they want and then I'll...

...Goal Setting Discover What You Want in Life and Achieve It Faster than You Think Possible ¿Que es Goal Setting? Goal setting is the process of writing down specific, measurable, and time-targeted objectives. You figure out want you want, you write your desires down, and then you work towards achieving them. Benefits and Importance of Goal Setting Without goals or a destination, you are like a heat seeking missile with no heat to seek. In addition to letting go of the chains that pull you in every direction, another benefit of goal setting is that it naturally helps you stay away from the circumstances you want to avoid in life. Goals allow you to take control. Instead of living life by chance, you live by choice – you choose your own outcome and select your own course of action. Time Frames Immediate Immediate refers to the next few weeks. These goals refer to the exigencies of day to day life. These are things that you cannot put off for a later time and are typically the easiest to measure, or at the very least, easiest to determine when you have done your best. Intermediate Intermediate goals refer to the next few months. Though you have heard the famous marketing slogan: Where Do You Want to be in … Years, you have not likely heard it phrased as the next few months. Long-term Long-term goals refer to the next few years and are by far the most typical. When self-help gurus preach about goal setting, usually they are preaching about setting long-term...

...By Scott Sulak, BCH, CHT If you have seen the movie and were moved to change, but found no success, perhaps you are fighting your subconscious mind. Perhaps it is time to let your "other mind," your subconscious mind, in on the secret. I was impressed at how quickly “The Secret” took off in the recent past. Mostly everyone I talked to had an opportunity to see the movie and instantly feel a sense of hope that if they could just change the way the see things, “things” would be different in their life. The movie depicts the secret as something simple and something ancient which is not tied to any particular sect or stratification and is available to everyone. While I agree that it is simple and IS available to everyone theoretically, it seems like just watching the movie and from then on experiencing abundance and joy every moment from then on is something...well, something you might see in a movie. What is missing? There is more to change then simply realizing that you have become a magnet for what you don’t want. To simply say “stop thinking this way and start thinking that way” for most of us it a tall order. The reason it is a tall order is that we have taught ourselves how life is in some relative way and changing reality is not something we do very often. It is not as though we don’t “want” to change, but let’s face it, if we don’t believe it will happen or we don’t deserve it will, then “wanting” is not enough. So to answer the question, “what is missing?” will more than...
