...CA 1: Strategic Industry Analysis Need/Opportunity Analysis Professor David J. Rosner Joyce Paul Summer 2015 – GMT 615 PCA Apparel retail, or clothing sales, is a large sector, generating 304,906 million dollars in revenue in 2009, with a compounded annual growth rate of 3.2 percent from 2005 to 2009. Sales of women’s clothing are the most profitable area in this sector - accounting for 53 percent of the total revenue. The retail industry is moderately concentrated and bigger stores have advantages of getting better deals from suppliers, but the individualized nature in which stores compete not simply on price but on type and style, of which there are many, leaves room for smaller stores to succeed as well. In addition, because of the nature of clothing, many stores exist marketing to specific demographics based on price and style. Trends are also particularly important here - being behind on what's hot can lead to losing sales, reputation, and leftover inventory. Market and Trends vary when it comes to the fashion world, there could be a dry season or there can be a high season. What people fail to release is that you must know yourself and be within to understand what it is you enjoy and like. There are two different type of people in the fashion business, the ones who have to keep up with the latest trends and get everything that is popular at the time or you have the ones that just goes with the flow and dress however they want and dress to fit their personality...

...Communication Trends Paper Introduction To Business Communication March-10, 2011 Mr. Curt Crandall Business Communication Trends Paper Business communication is the communication between people in an organization, or a company for the purpose to carry out business activities. The two methods of communication are verbal communication and nonverbal communication. Verbal communication consists of face-to-face, by phone, by emails, reports, text messaging, and more. Nonverbal communication consists of pictures, computer graphics and more. The role that communication plays in my day-to-day activities at work is very important. As a Union Carpenter communication is the key to starting the job and finishing the job correctly. The Foreman on the jobsite yells out many different measurements all day long. Now i either have to remember these measurements by heart or write these measures down on what ever materials are close at the time.

...One of my biggest goals is getting into stock trading. I’m going to go into the details as to what you need to start trading. I choose this path vs. other methods of investing because I have seen the growth first hand. I know that with understanding and conquering this goal I will become financially stable and have a much stronger future. You must have motivation a plan, and ongoing results to stick with the goals you set for yourself. I have been motivated by my dad watching him turn a piggy bank into thousands of dollars with trading. I have noticed there is a trend not to be financially independent that continues to grow and be dependent on the government to save them. This gives you no chance for a steady future or retirement. With a strong plan and giving some simple time now to begin in stocks or other methods of investment anyone can become financially strong. Investors.com (2011) if you saved $5 a week at 8% interest starting from the time you were a18 years old, by age 65, you savings would total $134,000. If you wait until you are 40 years old, you’ll have to save $32 a week to have 134,000 at the age of 65. In fact, just one year’s delay – waiting until you’re 19 years old to start saving $5 a week at 8% - will cost you more than $10,000 by the time you’re 65. With the beginning of stock trading you have to learn how to understand it and know what is changing and what is not. According to Ebony (1997) “Stock prices change based on general business conditions...

...society trend and culture, start to fail claiming the audience attention. However, film is a reflection of society for both the present and the past. I believe film and its innovation have to catch up to society but sometimes it leads the society and culture too. That why in the future, “the theaters of the future will be bigger and more beautiful than ever before. They will employ expensive presentation formats that cannot be accessed or reproduced in the home (such as, ironically, film prints). And they will still enjoy exclusivity, as studios relearn the tremendous economic value of the staggered release of their products”, said Christopher Nolan, the director of the "Dark Knight" trilogy, "Inception," and "Interstellar.”(Nolan) In the past, the disadvantage of technology make the film industry cost a lot of money to produce film. In 1981, Thomas Edison, an inventor, created a device called the Kinetoscope which change the course of media history; this invention started a new era of Film industry.
