...Maintain a Sustainable Performance OSRAM, as one of the first lamp manufacturers, has set up a dedicated corporate function: ‘Sustainability’ which then creates an edge over their benchmark lightning company. Their environment approach focuses on environmentally conscious, innovation and creative solutions in all areas of company and responds to challenges such as climate change, scarcity of natural resources and environment pollution. Throughout their effort in developing sustainability, they implied the concept into corporate function, product life cycle and projects. Sustainability Life Cycle Product life cycle which consists of all processes is especially important as product life cycle is the first step for energy-saving effort. Therefore, research and development department is vital for them to develop a sustainable product while ensuring profitable growth for OSRAM and its customers. Sustainable Projects (Off-Grid Lighting, Clean Development Mechanism) OSRAM initiated projects which concentrate on sustainable development. They are the first lightning manufacturer in the world to offer sustainable lightning solution in regions without power supply networks. Realizing the phenomenon that there are about 1.6billion people depend on ‘fuel-based lighting’ which subsequently burning kerosene for lightning and expose the people to health hazard, OSRAM launched the Off-Grid Lighting project in Kenya in 2008. The objective is to produce light independently from a grid-based...

Does it have any violations or fines? Overall the company has a good record of upholding the law. But there are some law suits that have been filed against LG. In 2011 LG was sued by a lighting company called Osram for patent violations. These complaints were filed in Germany, United States and China. In these complaints Osram stressed that Samsung and LG group infringe its patents on white and surface mountable LEDs in the U.S., Germany and china (France-Presse, 2011). Osram seeks a court order "to prevent Samsung and LG from importing and selling infringing LEDs and products containing these LEDs," the statement said. Between LG and Samsung there have been many feuds about display patents as well. After many years of this feud they decided to drop all lawsuits against each other and find a settlement negotiation which failed In 2013. In 2012 LG was charged due to SDC claiming that six LG officials stole OLED secrets. Five of these six employees were acquitted...

...high-brightness blue LED was demonstrated by Shuji Nakamura of Nichia Corporation in 1994 and was based on InGaN.[34][35] In parallel, Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano in Nagoya were working on developing the important GaN nucleation on sapphire substrates and the demonstration of p-type doping of GaN. Nakamura, Akasaki and Amano were awarded the 2014 Nobel prize in physics for their work.[36] In 1995, Alberto Barbieri at the Cardiff University Laboratory (GB) investigated the efficiency and reliability of high-brightness LEDs and demonstrated a "transparent contact" LED using indium tin oxide (ITO) on (AlGaInP/GaAs). In 2001[37] and 2002,[38] processes for growing gallium nitride (GaN) LEDs on silicon were successfully demonstrated. In January 2012, Osram demonstrated high-power InGaN LEDs grown on silicon substrates commercially.[39] White LEDs and the Illumination breakthrough The attainment of high efficiency in blue LEDs was quickly followed by the development of the first white LED. In this device a Y 3Al 5O 12:Ce (known as "YAG") phosphor coating on the emitter absorbs some of the blue emission and produces yellow light through fluorescence. The combination of that yellow with remaining blue light appears white to the eye. However, using different phosphors (fluorescent materials) it also became possible to instead produce green and red light through fluorescence. The resulting mixture of red, green and blue is not only perceived by humans as white light but is superior for illumination...

...DEFINITION -Installation art sits right on that curious border between architecture, art and interior design – part physical experiment, part personal expression and part designed space. These works of installation artists show the untapped potential of spatial experience not often seen in more purely functional (or purely artistic) works of design. -Installation art describes an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space. Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces, whereas exterior interventions are often called Land art; however, the boundaries between these terms overlap. - Type of modern art in which the artist uses, as part of the composition, the specific setting (such as walls, floor, lights, and fittings) along with various materials. Typically the chosen materials more or less fill the space, and the viewer is often able to move around or otherwise interact with the work, so that they become part of that work in that specific moment in time. BRIEF AND HISTORY Installation art can be either temporary or permanent. Installation artworks have been constructed in exhibition spaces such as museums and galleries, as well as public and private spaces. The genre incorporates a broad range of everyday and natural materials, which are often chosen for their "evocative" qualities, as well as new media such as video, sound, performance, immersive virtual reality and the internet.

...CONSUMER BEHAVIOR TOWARDS PHILIPS LED By Sai Puja S 1502008 Naresh Bitla 1502009 CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION TO THE INDUSTRY LIGHT EMITTING DIODE The electricity used over the lifetime of a single Incandescent bulb costs 5 to 10 times the original Purchase price of the bulb itself. Light Emitting Diode (LED) and Compact Fluorescent Lights (LED) bulbs have revolutionized energy-efficient lighting. 1.1. HISTORY OF LED: In 1907, British scientist Henry J. Round discovered the physical effect of electroluminescence, an optical and electrical phenomenon in which a material emits light in response to an electric current passed through it or to a strong electric field. The light produced was very dim and not bright enough to stimulate further research. In the early 1960s, groups at RCA, IBM, GE and MIT were working actively on LEDs. Among the first commercially available LEDs was an 870 nm IR device sold by Texas Instruments for $130 US. Around the same time, GE distributed red LEDs through the Allied radio catalog for $260 US. Obviously, LEDs were quite expensive and sold only in low volumes. In 1964, IBM used GaAsP LEDs on circuit boards in an early mainframe computer. This is significant for the first time LEDs provided a compelling value proposition to both manufacturer and end-user over conventional lighting technology. As an on-off indicator light, the LED could be mounted directly onto the circuit board, used less power, and had a seemingly infinite...

...Bolton University RAK Campus – Vadim (Level 3) 1. Why do large projects sometimes fail? A project is considered a failure when it has not delivered what was required, in line with expectations. Therefore, in order to succeed, a project must deliver to cost, to quality, and on time; and it must deliver the benefits presented in the business case. The requirements for success are clear and absolute – right? Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Because the second part of our definition of success is that the project must be delivered "in line with expectations." If key stakeholders agreed that a project had to exceed its initial budget, the project may still be considered a success. Likewise, if a project delivered everything that was in the detailed project designs, it may still be considered a failure if it didn't include vital elements that the key stakeholders needed. This doesn't seem fair, but project success and failure isn't just about the facts, nor is it simply about what was delivered. It's also, crucially, about how the project is perceived. Reasons for Project Failure The wrong business requirements have been addressed If your project is set up to deliver the "wrong thing," it may be considered a failure even if everything is delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality. This seems harsh. But if your project doesn't deliver what the organization really needs, this will inevitably negatively affect how it's perceived. This is why it's so important...

The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] | "Relationship selling is dead!" Various business authors and critics alike have been quoted recently in proclaiming the death of the relationship selling model. One such claim is that in today's increasingly fast-paced and ever-competitive business environment customers simply don't have the time to develop a relationship with you, the seller. Another article argues that with the advent of the internet, most products and services are commodities and therefore most customer generally buy solely based upon price, regardless of whether you have taken the time to develop a relationship or not. However, each of these articles contradict themselves in content by conveying that relationships are necessary to establish an ongoing customer needs analysis. The basis for their claim is the separation of the service of their product from the act of selling it. Meanwhile, each articles fails to acknowledge the utter importance of the return customer's needs and future needs with this ideology. To truly determine whether or not relationship selling is a thing of the past we must first investigate the importance of the relationship...

In the early 2000s we saw the bankruptcy of Courts PLC where subsidiaries were sold to investors to repay the debts. Courts Asia Limited (Courts) was later independently formed and it is now a leading retailer in Southeast Asia for Furniture, Electrical Appliances and IT Products. Courts Asia is predominantly understood to be a retailer of home appliances and IT products. But unlike normal retailers which earns a profit by simply selling technological products in its stores, Courts Asia’s income stream is markedly different as they focuses on selling furniture and providing consumer with other services as well. Base on the breakdown of sales of goods we can see that their main business focus are still on the electrical and IT products.
