...A proposal of mojo soft drink Company for further improvement of marketing: 1.4: Justification Mojo is a quite renowned beverage in the soft drink market of Bangladesh. It is a product of the Akij Food & Beverage Ltd. in Bangladesh which is a concern of the Akij Group. In fact, Mojo does not use Advertisements as much it should. Recently, it is quite clear that Mojo has not achieved that much popularity according to their expectation. The best way to create awareness about a product is through ads. As Mojo currently does not put importance on ads, it is very difficult for them to gain more market share. So, there is a scope for Mojo that if they emphasize more on ads, they will gain more popularity. 1.5: Assessment of Internal & External factors for Mojo Internal Factors The internal resources, capabilities and distinctive competencies, which create a competitive advantage, are very important for a company.

...and fewer words.” (SocialPC. (n.d.)). As previously stated, there are many differences between American and Indian work culture.

Americans tend to be more individualistic and live life at their own will while Indians tend to rely more on the values of religion and family.

...Gay Marriages Kimberly Sousa BUSCOM/275 Version 2 May 9, 2013 Kevin McCoyd Article Rebuttal The paper will have the contents of an article I decided to do for reasons that will be revealed in the conclusion. The topic is from the New York Daily News Gay Marriage the title is “Five arguments against gay marriage: Society must brace for corrosive change.” The author talks about many areas of concerns throughout the article. One is religious freedom “A recent Newsday editorial said opponents “will be seen by future generations in much the same light as those who opposed school desegregation. Devout Catholics, Orthodox Jews and, ironically, the 70% of African-Americans who oppose gay marriage will become the new Ku Klux Klan?” I do not agree with this, I have not seen a traditional marriage yet or and I do not believe one exist either. Families today have an enormous amount of pain involved with their marriages like seeking other sexual services for one, amongst many other violation of the marriage law and some of them are considered “unnatural”. The second argument is the Rights of Children. In the article the author says “More children living in gay homes means more children living lives absent a relationship with at least one biological parent. This will result in some emotional pain and confusion”. A study published in Pediatrics on June 7, 2010 found that children of lesbian mothers were rated higher than children of heterosexual parents in social and academic...

...Demonstrative Communication Paper Chad Parker BUSCOM/275 11/12/12 Josh Sinski Demonstrative Communication Paper Demonstrative Communication is a type of communication that observes nonverbal cues. Examples of non-verbal cues include tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. We use demonstrative communication everyday professionally and personally. We have conversations with our family and coworkers. It is important that we are communicating effectively, with our family members and co-workers. The way we communicate with our face is very important we can send mixed messages with our facial expressions. Different facial expressions can have different meanings to different people. When we speak with co-workers or our supervisors we have to be careful to not use the same expression used with our family or vice versa. A smile or a laugh is an example of a good facial example. A frown or a mad looking face could be viewed negatively. Different facial expressions can be considered positive or negative depending on what they are. If someone doesn’t understand a question or a statement they may make a frown. A grin when you are being questioned about a decision can be seen as negative. Body language is another form of demonstrative communication. Body Language is a form of communication that we have to control. We have to control body language because it can send off the wrong message to the receivers. When someone is speaking to you whether...
