Diageo was in charge of an expanding and wide-ranging collection of brands, some of which had broad appeal across many countries while others had more regional appeal, sometimes limited to just a few markets. The challenge: After both organic growth and acquisitions, three key dilemmas emerged by 2002. First, how to manage brands with significantly different appeal, such as Guinness, a brand with strong Irish roots but huge global appeal, or Buchanan’s, the leading Scotch whisky in Latin America. Second, how to rejuvenate tired brands and third, how to improve the market share of the most successful brands, such as Captain Morgan, J & B, Smirnoff and Johnnie Walker. The initial strategy: To help managers maintain focus and allocate resources, Diageo developed three brand classifications: global priority, local priority and category. The global priority brands were the big sellers that were...

...factors might influence an individual’s defense mechanisms? Use examples from the case studies to illustrate your answer. Individuals who have experienced trauma develop their own defense mechanisms to cope with the intrusive recollections and increased physiological arousal. When people suffer trauma their choice of defense can be influenced by three factors, • Developmental stage • Temperamental factors • Contextual factors. Below I will use the case studies of Jane & Brendan to illustrate how these factors influenced their defense mechanisms to trauma. Jane experienced the death of her sister at age 7, her developmental stage influenced the type of defense mechanisms she used to cope with the trauma of witnessing her sister’s death. Jane blamed herself for the accident. Prior to the traumatic incident Jane was described as being a “happy – go – lucky child”, however during the following years she lost interest at school and acted out to receive attention, making up stories & fake accidents, including a fake suicide. Jane’s defense mechanism in this example is role playing through fantasy, this involves Jane creating an inner world when her world became too painful, difficult or stressful. Between the ages of 12 – 18 Jane began experimenting with alcohol and drugs, using them as a defense. Contextual factors primarily her friends, influenced Jane’s use of alcohol & drugs. The case study sites Jane began taking drugs at 13 with friends, at 14 she first tried heroin with...

...Case Study Jennifer Shields BSHS/325 May 23, 2016 Erin Jacobs The following case study concerns a 25-year-old young adult named Jackson. Jackson currently lives at home with his mother, Tina, who raised Jackson with his two siblings, Oliver and Crystal, as a single parent. While Jackson’s biological father was not and is still not involved in his life, his mother’s boyfriend of the last 5 years, Michael, often tries to serve as a father figure to him and his siblings. As we can see, Jackson grew up in what could be considered a broken home with his mother having to raise him and his siblings alone. However, Jackson was still a good student in high school earning in most of his courses A and B grades. He even went to college right out of high school focused on getting a degree in chemistry. Jackson had two relationships in high school that lasted about 6 months each, with Alice and Beth. In each of these relationships Jackson asked the girls to marry him, but then withdrew his proposal. Each girl had complained during their relationship that Jackson was distant with them and seemingly unable to commit to them emotionally. Sometime between his time in high school and his freshmen year of college, Jackson was in a car accident resulting in a head injury that caused him to lose some cognitive functioning and analytical skills. During his freshmen year of college, Jackson started drinking alcohol with his friends occasionally and abused the prescription pain medication given...

...Promiscuity- A Self-Destructive Behavior in Correlation with a Lack of Paternal Authority: A Single Case Study Rebecca M Bauman 2015 MAR LIB-495-GS001 Abstract Paternal authority, according to the existing literature, is of upmost importance to the healthy psychosexual development of a child. Women who were raised with a lack of paternal authority can often face significant setbacks when dealing with everyday life issues. Promiscuity as a self-destructive behavior has substantial consequences often resulting in mental and physical suffering. This qualitative single case study was designed to explore the correlation of promiscuity- as a self-destructive behavior with women who were raised in single-mother households where there was a lack of paternal authority. A single intrinsic case study was used to explore one woman’s battle with promiscuity. The data obtained formed a narrative generated by the triangulation of psychoanalytical therapy sessions, a client intake form and the woman’s journal. A case analysis was performed and later reviewed by an attending mental health clinician. The results indicated the woman manifests the self-destructive behavior of promiscuity at the expense of poor self-esteem which directly correlates with a lack of paternal authority. The disruption of the woman’s psychosexual development in childhood negatively altered her self-image. The woman uses transference in her intimate relationships as a desperate attempt to gain control of her...

Maryam is a customer support specialist in the People’s Services inc, a very successful organization with high qualified employees and a reputation that is praised by the public.

...Week 2 Case Study MGMT 410 1. Can we live a normal life out of work with out the stress that what we do cannot affect our job position? Certainly that is not the case and that is what happened Oiler even though his action in no way harmed the business. Oiler was the person who lived a different live when out side of work while wearing a wig, make up, he chose to live this lifestyle. That is why I do believe Oiler’s employee right were violated. I can understand if the business is to say that Oiler’s image would affect the reputation of the image since has a virtually become an asset to the business but can be judge by a different image. Of course now a days HR and managers can make the decision as to if they should hire you based on some Facebook pictures but in most cases those are different acts. If some one acts out using drugs or having an abuse with alcohol or actually committing a crime can then they judge as to if you should be fired or not. As the image and the reputation of a business can actually be affected by the circumstance as it might also affect their stockholders and other investor or partner. Still Oiler was a committed person to the business and his action after work did not harm anyone. Also the fact that he was not on duty or on the premises of his work area should show that there was no correlation to his action and his job. Overall, I am 100% percent behind those that rallied for Oiler, that Winn-Dixie’s action was just not right for the many that...

Two of the girls start to yell obscenities at the girl who allegedly ruined the project. This girl retaliates by threatening violence. The two other girls follow suit. Eventually, the argument escalates further to more yelling and threats. When questioned later individually, it is learned that one of the girls had a rough phone call with her mother and found out her father would not be visiting her. Another of the girls had a similar experience, as her parents visited during the week and she did not "get along" with them. Finally, the girl accused of ruining the project was just admitted and angry at her parents for placing her in treatment. One of the behavioral techs redirected the girls to playing sports and painting. The girls seem to calm down and de-escalate. What defense mechanism (s) is the three girls utilizing and why? Explain.
