...to buy goods from abroad (Ferner, 2003). Not only has globalization seen the increase of migrants workers but has also increased the number of Multinational Companies (MNC) and many of them have moved production from their home country to less developing countries, for cheaper labour and looser regulations. The deregulation of working conditions, demographics and labour markets as well as cheaper labour will lead to companies moving their work away from the UK and damage the economy (Williams and Adam-Smith, 2010). As Moody (1997) states “It will increase pressure to cut costs in order for businesses to stay competitive...pressure on labour costs”. Globalization has caused an increase in the number of mergers and acquisitions and has in affect created and introduced more MNC, it has allowed companies to move labour and production to where labour is cheaper. Trade Unions’ have been at the forefront of the debate of whether globalization is a good thing. Due to MNC operating in numerous countries with many different policies and regulations it makes it a lot harder for trade unions to stand up for human rights and fight for employees’ interests. Trade Unions have adopted many strategies and put in place many practices to ensure that standards for labour across the globe can be measured.

...Environmental Scan: Political/Legal Summary: There are several Acts including the Competition act, Consumer Packaging and Labelling act, Trade-marks act and textile Labelling act that will both work in favor and against the success of Lulu Lemon. I do not foresee these acts changing or altering very greatly over the next 50 years. Acts: 1. Competition Act – “An Act to provide for the general regulation of trade and commerce in respect of conspiracies, trade practices and mergers affecting competition”. Competition is encouraged in Canadian companies in order to promote the economy. This allows for expansion opportunities for Canadian competition in world markets, in order to ensure that small and medium-sized companies have equitable opportunity to participate in the Canadian economy and in order to provide consumers with competitive prices and product choices. This could affect Lulu Lemon because competition is encouraged in Canada. This means that other companies could come in and introduce yoga wear at more affordable prices or more convenient locations. This is helpful to Lulu Lemon because the Competition Act is set to help encourage Canadian companies to expand to competitive markets across the world. 2. Consumer Packaging and Labelling act – Labelling false and misleading representation related to prepackaged products. All information on a package, whether in symbols or words, must be neither false nor misleading to the consumer. There are three mandatory...

...Aubert found that these white collar criminals had an ‘elaborate and widely accepted ideological rationalization for the offences’. Criminal practices were quite normal. This is a way of emphasising with the criminals and understand why they commit the crimes. 3. Emotion based responses link to occupational and corporate crime as they looks at the roles of emotions and masculinity in crime. Portony says that the thrill one gets from committing a crimes is what leads rich an powerful people to committing them. Crimes committed by companies and by individuals are explicable by thrill-seeking. This also link to masculinity as the dominating gender in high positions are male and so they all compete against each other. 4. Nelken applied labelling theory to corporate crime by looking at the works of the English family practitioner panels who investigate those accused of defrauding the NHS by over claiming. For example, a dentist admitted to fraud and the panel pleaded with him to retract his admission so it would not pass as a criminal prosecution. It applies also to corporate crime as negative...

Marketing mix, simply stated, is the process 20:: Business Studies of designing and integrating various elements of marketing in such a way as to ensure the achievement of enterprise objectives. The elements of marketing mix have been classified under four heads - product, price, place and promotion. That is why marketing mix is said to be a combination of 4 P’s. Decisions relating to the product include product designing, packaging and labelling and varieties of the product. Decision on ‘Price’ is very important because sales depend to a large extent on product pricing. Whether uniform price will be charged or different prices will be charged for the same product in different markets are examples of decision pertaining to the price of the product. The third important element is ‘place’,...

...be stronger. Can advertising be done ethically? Advertising applies to anyone that makes purchases and uses products or services. Advertisements are used to capture consumers’ attention and make them want to purchase their products, use their service, or interpret a specific message. Commercial advertising is the means for many corporations to spread the word about their products or services. It is currently the most effective means of getting a message across to a large audience across the world, and advertising aids the link between the actual production of a good or service and its consumption by consumers. Because of the significance of advertising, the average person is exposed to up to 5,000 ad messages per day. (Chan & Shenoy 2009). Advertising is constantly reminding consumers of their brands and the message that they are trying to portray. Any form of space, even the walls in public toilet cubicles, has the potential to be used for advertising. This is especially pertinent coupled with the use of the Internet, making advertisements all the more accessible (illustrated by video-sharing websites like YouTube); regardless of which part in the world the advertisement is aired. Advertising campaigns that appeal to consumer behaviors based on the value-expressive or utilitarian functions are the most common (Sirgy, 1991). Utilitarian advertisements deliver a message regarding the benefits of using a product or service. Advertising targeted to consumers...

...This essay will examine the current business environment McDonald’s operates in through a PESTEL analysis, to examine the general external business environment and the specific industry factors that may affect the business. The results of this essay can then be used as the background for a SWOT analysis to highlight the specific strengths and weaknesses of the McDonald’s business model and its potential future opportunities and threat, which should help to determine the best strategic direction for McDonald’s to take in the coming years. PESTEL Analysis A PESTEL analysis examines the external business environment facing a firm in 6 main areas; Political factor, Economic factors, Sociological factors, Technological factors, Environmental factors and Legal factors. Though a single organisation is normally unable to directly affect the external factors facing it, a conglomeration of companies can exert some pressure on these factors, particularly any political factors through the intelligent use of political lobbying. Proper understanding of these factors allows the organisation to highlight areas of business opportunity when combined with proper understanding of the business’ strengths, and also potential threats to the business when combined with a proper understanding of the firm’s weaknesses (Baines et al, 2011). Thus, for effective strategic planning, analysis of the external factors is the most important step before performing an analysis of the business’ intrinsic strengths...

...correlations as low as +0.11, this may be to so with cultural differences in classification. Copeland gave 134 US and 194 British psychiatrists a description of a patient, 69% of US psychiatrists diagnosed the patient as suffering from schizophrenia, but only 2% of British psychiatrists gave the same diagnosis. Therefore showing there are cultural differences in diagnosing schizophrenia, thus making the classification systems lacking in reliability. Another reliability issue concerned with the classification of schizophrenia is whether the psychiatrists are diagnosing the situation, or the actual symptoms being presented. Rosenhan stated that mental illnesses such as schizophrenia are purely a social phenomenon and the consequence of a labelling process. Rosenhan carried out a study in testing the reliability of the classification process, in which 8 psychiatrically normal people presented themselves at 12 different psychiatric hospitals in the US....
