...A Community Assessment of 71601 Kiona Okoro Arkansas State University Pine Bluff, Arkansas is the second oldest city in Arkansas. It is also the largest city and county seat of Jefferson County. The city of Pine Bluff was founded by Europeans on a high bank of the Arkansas River heavily forested with tall pine trees. The high ground furnished settlers a safe haven from annual flooding. Joseph Bonne, a fur trader and trapper of French and Quapaw ancestry, settled on this bluff in 1819. In 1829, Thomas Phillips claimed a half section of land where Pine Bluff is located. Jefferson County was established by the Territorial Legislature, November 2, 1829 and began functioning as a county April 19, 1830 (Wikipedia, 2014). The city prospered due to cotton production in 1860 and had one of the largest slave populations in the state. The city was devastated by the Great Flood of 1927 and the severe drought of 1930. The Army built the Pine Bluff arsenal and Grider Field in 1945. Major construction projects during the 1960s and 1970s were Jefferson Hospital (now Jefferson Regional Medical Center), a Federal Building, the Pine Bluff Convention Center complex including The Royal Arkansas Hotel & Suites, Pine Bluff Regional Park, two industrial parks and several large churches.

...College Students Expenses By Anne Jones Going to a top college can be hard because it is really costly. A student and his family must be prepared by all means to keep this commitment to further a student's education. So awareness of how much your college education would be is critical because it is not limited to tuition fees. There can be more expenses to be expected when a student goes to college. Let us look at the general list of what a student pays in college. First would be tuition fee. Tuition fees can be at the range of $6000 - $25,000 for a four year course. Take note that public colleges have smaller tuition fees than private colleges. So look to this as an option. Second would be living in colleges. A student in college usually would try to find work in between to cover the cost of living. It is something that should be considered before going to college because you have to think of things like rent, food, bills and other travel costs. A common student would need an average of $1,000 extra for these extra expenses. Third are the materials you need to study. These are the givens like books, bags, IT equipment and could cost to at least $2,000 a year. So it is important to be able to budget before you go to college. Make sure you leave yourself some extra money monthly for self use. Try to find a monthly average of your expenses so you could allocate your funds accordingly. Going to college is a big investment but in the long run the education you get would allow...

...Organizations Hospitality, Conventions, Arts & Sports Focus Group Detailed Notes from Focus Group Meetings Introduction Why Focus Groups? Phase One of the Strategic Alliance Project was Assessment. The goal during this phase was to engage the public in the project, to receive comments from stakeholders and residents, and to establish a benchmark for future public assessments of County performance. Three methods were used to meet the Assessment goal: a community survey, facilitated public forums and focus groups. This report summarizes the focus group discussions. How did input differ from the community forums and survey? The focus groups are made up of community stakeholders that have specific interactions with County government. In some cases there is a very strong existing relationship. In others, there is a desire for greater interaction. For example, while the “focus” and direct relationship between the County and the Judicial group relates to courtroom space, crime prevention is an issue that involves the entire community. Because of the participant make-up of focus groups and the meeting format, questions posed to the groups varied slightly but followed these major themes: What does Guilford County/county government do...

...Apollo hospitals Strategic analysis of corporate social responsibility practices Bhupesh Manoharan (0086/49) DESIGNING CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP INITIATIVES ASSIGNMENT 2 Industry overview – Health care Industry in India In India, the health care industry is split into public sector, private sector and a wide network of informal healthcare providers operating together in a large and unregulated network. This irregularity has caused wide disparities in access, especially in the regional and rural distribution of healthcare infrastructure. The Indian healthcare industry was valued at US$ 79 billion in 2012, and is expected to reach US $160 billion by 2017. The Indian healthcare sector is expected to grow at about 15 percent year-on-year, on account of factors such as rapid growth in infrastructure development, creation of demand for higher levels of healthcare and rising awareness of end users. The growth of the Indian healthcare sector is further driven by the 300 million strong middle class with significant disposable income, which is likely to demand superior healthcare services. According to the World Health Organization rankings, India’s healthcare system ranks 112th in the world .The quality of Indian healthcare are varied. In major urban areas, healthcare is of adequate quality, approaching and occasionally meeting Western standards. However, access to quality medical care is limited or unavailable in most rural areas. Rural India contains over 68% of India's total population...

Secure & sustainable supply of high quality food, particularly in the developing countries; is a basic requirement for continued human development!

...ORIENTATION OF A FIRM (Production concept, Product concept, Selling concept and marketing concept) Marketing management wants to design strategies that will build profitable relationships with target consumers. But what philosophy should guide these marketing strategies ? What weight should be given to the interests of customers ? Very often, various interests conflict. There are four alternative concepts under which organizations design and carry out their marketing strategies : the production concept, product concept, selling concept and marketing concept. PRODUCTION CONCEPT The production concept holds that consumer will favor products that available and highly affordable. This is one of the oldest orientations that guide sellers. It gives too much importance to production of goods and services. Large scale production is the base of production concept. Hence, management should focus on improving production and distribution efficiency. Production is important in marketing as without production marketing is just not possible. This concept is still a useful philosophy in some situations e.g. A computer maker Lenovo dominates the highly competitive, price sensitive Chinese PC market through low labor costs, high production and efficiency and mass distribution. However, production concept is one-sided concept as production without considering the needs and expectations of consumers may not get the support of consumers. Companies adopting this orientation run a...
