I want to make my dissertation on this, because I want to expand my knowledge about marketing, and so remain in the trend by taking the e-marketing with e-commerce also. Then I think it's a relevant topic in the current period in which we live, we must know that the new generation of people is increasingly technological and use it for everything. And this new generation of people will become the largest share of customers in stores. Then it is important to understand the role of new technologies, either at the level of consumer behaviour but also about improving sales processes and marketing techniques. To complete my "literature review", and thus improve my analysis, I will prepare a questionnaire on consumer behaviour in order to give a conclusion on the arrival of new technologies and consumer behaviour. I do not intend to target a group of people for the questionnaire to be given a general, but thereafter may be the same questionnaire again with only a group of people from the Generation Y or Z. I would also do a research in stores to get record on e-commerce, these aspects but also on marketing technical implementation in line with the new information and communications technology. This store could give me feedback in terms of its e-commerce, and confirm my reading experience review. Throughout my dissertation, I will liken my own research but also questionnaires and interviews in order to give the best...

The findings reveal that some of the barriers mentioned in the literature against women career advancement in construction are prevalent in Nigeria, except the existence of equality in respect of male and female in terms of employment and career development opportunity. Also, low women participation in Nigerian construction industry begins in choosing course, education and continues throughout recruitment process.

...With the economy's decline, Starbucks's sales also declined. In the past years, many analysts and businessmen predicted that Starbucks will not survive the recession. Starbucks survived, nonetheless, despite all the negative readings they get from various people. One of the concerns of various companies today is how to increase their profit, without compromising their product's quality. With the effects of the recession still hanging over them like a serpent ready to strike anytime, various businesses are willing to pay top dollar to anyone who can give the best solution to their profit problem. With the advancement in computer programs, several management systems have mushroomed, each claiming to offer the best solutions to any business related problems. Each management system however, focuses on certain areas of business, some are focused in finance, human resources, and some in profit generation. A balanced scorecard system is one example of a management system. It is a strategic planning and management system used extensively by various business and industry, government, and nonprofit organizations to help align the organization's activities to the vision and strategy of its administrators.

...Mahatma Gandhi avait une fois justement dit "ce que nous faisons pour les forêts du monde est juste un miroir reflet de ce que nous faisons pour nous-mêmes et aux autres". Oui. Nous détruisons nos propres libertés en ne protégeant pas l'environnement. Je crois fermement que pour nous de préserver nos libertés, nous devons d'abord préserver la terre. Pour commencer, le problème du réchauffement climatique interfère avec notre liberté de respirer l'air pur et de vivre une vie saine. Il est dit qu’à la fin du siècle, environ 150000 personnes sont décédées de causes liées à la chaleur. Donc est-ce que ça vaut la peine de détruire l'environnement, même si cela signifie que nos gens vont mourir? Je ne crois pas. La température de la terre va bientôt être de 5.8 degrés plus élevée qu'elle est maintenant, et si on ne fait rien pour arrêter cela, nous comme un race allons perdre nos libertés à vivre une vie sans pollution et sans la maladie. En revanche, beaucoup de gens croient que si nous faisons un effort pour sauver l'environnement, nos libertés seront limités. Ils croient que la capitalisation est une des plus grandes libertés donné à l'homme et donc en essayant de sauver la terre, la liberté est limitée. Bien que la sauvegarde de l'environnement peut entraîner une diminution de la capitalisation, il économise les ressources que nous possédons pour les générations futures. Nous nous s’assurons qu'ils conservent leurs droits de vivre et de respirer d'une manière saine. Il faut renoncer...

...UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY: INVESTIGATING THE LANGUAGE PRACTICES OF MULTILINGUAL GRADE 9 LEARNERS AT A PRIVATE DESEGREGATED HIGH SCHOOL IN SOUTH AFRICA. Submitted by: Nomakhalipha Margaret Nongogo Student Number: 0309644N Supervised by Dr Carolyn McKinney Research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand in partial fulfilment of the degree of Masters of Arts in Applied English Language Studies. 2007 ABSTRACT This research report engages with the concern that African learners attending English medium, multiracial schools are losing their proficiency in African languages. In so doing, the report explores the language practices of four multilingual Grade 9 learners at a desegregated private high school in Gauteng. In a school environment that does not overtly support the use of African languages, I explore the extent to which multilingual learners use African languages in the school context, to position themselves and others, as an identity building resource, and the extent to which the use of African languages is implicated in their identities. I also explore the possible influence of the learners’ cultural and ethnic backgrounds on their language practices, and related to this, the expression of their identities. I look at how their language practices help them shift identities with space and purpose, and the contradictions therein. The study draws on poststructuralist theories of language and...
