...FAT FACE CASE STUDY Marketing: Reduce the number of promotions held by the company as devalues the brand. Reinstate brand image and personality, help to restore the customers trust in the brand. Product Management: Improve and maintain quality standards, which have slipped in recent years as the focus moves towards trying to compete with the high street for prices and options. Improve availability of stock – currently the Nottingham store work on a 4 week turnover basis, bigger stores are 6 weeks. However, this is a problem as most products have a “window” when sales are high, however, once everyone has the product the window has gone, leaving stock rooms full of the garment in duplicate sizes taking up space in the stock room. Having tried JIT replenishment, the store know this is also now an option as from when the stock is sold to replenishment back to store takes a lead time of 4 days, loosing the company valuable sales. System to help the store sell more stock at full price and reduce the amount of stock left at the end of the season. Retail Management: Store needs to reflect the company ethos. Many people who do not shop with the brand believe Fat Face is a surf shop when in actual fact they are a lifestyle fashion clothing brand. However, walking into the stores this may be misconceived as much of the décor is based on surfing, canoeing and other outdoor/water related activities. People Management: Eliminate money wasting asps. Mystery shoppers cost £1,000...

Using Macro environmental factor we aim to narrow it down further into two countries. Finally using macro, micro and other factors we seek the most suitable option. In order for our team of consultants to determine which country to select an evaluation of the candidate countries has to be executed, which should in turn provide insight into tradeoffs that should be made, allowing justified reasons to be given for the final country selected (Beim, G and Levesque, M, 2004.) 2. Introduction - About Fat Face Marketing is - “…the multinational process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods, and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organisational objectives.”- Onkvist et al. It is essential that Fat Face acts better than the direct competitors and with the purpose of generating profit. Going international in itself is an enormously high cost exercise in terms of money and top management time and commitment. Therefore international expansion must generate added value not only in terms of larger sales quantities, but more. (S. Hollensen (2007)) So Fat Face needs to gain competitive advantage, by filling in a niche and using its brand image as a unique selling point. The clothing and outdoor activities equipment company Fat Face was established by two British...

...Katherine Mansfield one conflict that arose was when the fat man tried to put down Leila by telling her that she will lose her youth one day and all of the things she enjoys now will be hopeless when she is old. Leila had a hard time overcoming this conflict as she took the fat man’s words quite harshly. Leila was caught in a dilemma between listening to the fat man or ignoring him. However Leila was able to overcome this conflict by moving on and forgetting what the old man had told her. Leila had done this because she realised that even though what the fat man had said might be true; in the sense that she will grow up one day. But Leila realised that since that day isn’t tomorrow, she knew that it is important that she lives the life to fullest while she is still young. The conflict was important to the text as it showed how Leila reacts to and overcomes the conflict, the conflict also showed that at times it is important to not take everyones opinion to heart, and the conflict showed that it is important to move on from a bad situation. The conflict that Leila faced was that the fat man had said to Leila that her youth wouldn’t last forever. In the text the fat man had told Leila that one day she will have lost her youth, and become an old lady who is unhappy and no longer desired by other men. The fat man says some harsh words that makes Leila upset as she realised he was right in a way, that she will grow old eventually. The fat man had changed Leila’s perspective of the ball from...

(B, 2012). There have been so many illness that are blamed on fats, I don’t think there is one out there that hasn’t been, from heart disease to cancer. The bad fats have got to be limited and when you are putting them in your body you want to make sure that you are staying with the low percent. The good fats you want to make sure that you are staying on the higher percent. So in other words the bad fats have got to be 5 % and lower and the better/best fats need to be 20 % and higher. A Saturated fat is known as a fat that is a type of single-bond animal or vegetable fat. (These are mostly found in butter, meat, egg yolks, and coconut or palm oil) it is known to increase the cholesterol level in the blood. A fat having a chain of unsaturated fatty acid is known as a unsaturated fat. Trans-fatty acids are known as an unsaturated fatty acid formed by partial hydrogenation of vegetable oil that is also believed to raise the blood cholesterol levels in the body. The differences in the stability between saturated and unsaturated fats are known as hydrogenated fats. Trans-fatty...

...Fat and Fiber Research According to the “Face the Fats” article, “bad” fats are saturated fats and trans fats. “Most trans fat is created when manufacturers turn liquid oils into more solid fats like shortening and margarine. Saturated fat occurs naturally in nearly all fatty foods, but mostly in meats, dairy products, and tropical oils like palm kernel and coconut” (Center for Science in the Public Interest, 2002, p. 3). Both fats should try to be avoided, but the worst one is trans fat. Try to replace these fats with either omega-3, polyunsaturated, or monounsaturated fats. Better fats are considered to be polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats; and the best fats are omega-3s. Fat is still fat but for the body to function properly, fat should still be included in diets; it is which fats that are included is the key. There are many definitions for saturated fat, unsaturated fat, trans-fatty acids, and hydrogenated fats. Saturated fat is mostly found in animals and dairy products, and is saturated with Hydrogen atoms. Unsaturated fat is a fat or oil that is found in mainly animals and vegetables, and it contains one or more double bonds between carbon atoms. Trans-fatty acids are found in animal fats, margarine, cooking oils, and in saturated fats and unsaturated fats. “Trans fatty acids are manufactured fats created during a process called hydrogenation, which is aimed at stabilizing polyunsaturated oils to prevent them from becoming rancid and to keep...

This allows him to assert there is nothing inherently false with fatness, but the issues faced by those considered overweight are a result of societal stigma and shame rather than weight itself. Along with the continuous shame overweight individuals face, they are also looked down upon in the work field and education systems. However, Schwartz's use of satire in his article is frequently obscure as he targets the specific audience of fat people rather than the opposing side. Although his use of satire effectively pertains toward his target audience by portraying possible events similar to their...

Having more than the recommended percentage of body fat increases health risks, whereas having more lean body mass does not. Having too much body fat increases a person's risk of developing a host of chronic health problems, including high blood pressure, heart disease, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, gallbladder disease, arthritis, sleep disorders, respiratory problems, menstrual irregularities, and cancers of the breast, uterus, prostate, and colon. Obesity also increases the incidence and severity of infectious disease and has been linked to poor wound healing and surgical complications. The more excess body fat you have, the greater your health risks. The longer you carry excess fat, the greater the risks; individuals who gain excess weight at a young age and remain overweight throughout life face the greatest health risks” (Wiley, 2014). “Assesses factors that influence the obesity epidemic are the result from an energy imbalance. This involves eating too many calories and not getting enough physical activity. Body weight is the result of genes, metabolism, behavior, environment...

...Understanding your fats and Fiber According to the “Face the Fats” article we have bad fats, better fats, and best fats. Bad fats are considered saturated fats and trans fats. Bad fat is anything with butter on it or in it. Examples of saturated fat items would be steaks, loaded potatoes, and deserts as well. Examples of trans fats would be anything deep fried like fast food French fries or fried chicken. Better fats are monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat. These fats are better for you and are not as bad on your hear health. Examples of better fats would be olive oil and canola oils. Polyunsaturated fats contain omega 3 and omega 6. In order to find the amount of these fats you should subtract your saturated and trans fats and you are left with mono and poly. The best fats would be the fats your body needs like omega 3. Saturated fat is anything that has butter in it. Mostly found in fast food restaurants, this fat is derived from animal products and comes from dairy, meat, and eggs. Unsaturated fat is derived from plant products. Trans fatty acid is the process of adding hydrogen to vegetable oil this is really bad for your cholesterol. Hydrogenated fat is when hydrogen is added to liquid oil and it is turned in to a solid form like Crisco. Trans fatty acids are harmful to your cholesterol levels. The function of lipids in the body is for energy storage in the body. Lipids are also the difference between good and bad cholesterol. The function...

...According to the “Face the Fats” sections bad fats are considered saturated fats and trans fats. These fats will clog arteries and cause heart disease and heart attacks. These fats are often found in foods we enjoy to eat or that taste good. Fast food, deserts, and toppings that we place on foods are usually loaded in these types of foods. Better fats are monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. These are considered better fats due to the fact that they help reduce the risk of heart disease. Monounsaturated fats are fats that have double bonded carbon in their molecules and are usually liquid at room temperatures and become more solid when cooled or chilled. Polyunsaturated fats are fats that typically have more than one double bonded carbon in the molecule, and they are also liquid at room temperature but tend to become solid when chilled or cooled. Saturated fats are defined as fats that contain triglycerides that contain only saturated fatty acids. They can be found in foods that contain cheese, lard, or butter. Unsaturated fats are fat acids that contain double bonded chemicals that eliminate hydrogen atoms. Trans – fatty acids are usually found in man made products. They are created in an industrial process that’s adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make them solid. This type of fat can be found in most fast food products. Hydrogenated fats are found in margarine and vegetable shortenings. They are created by the forcing of hydrogen into liquid oil. They are...

...D1 Evaluate the impact of social inequalities in society. In this task there will be a discussion on the impact of social inequalities in society. I will explain how the different social groups’ including religion, ethnicity, age and gender can benefit the society but also face difficulties in terms of health and well being. Lower class people who are unemployed and depend on the government to support themselves live a poorer quality of life. This has a huge effect on levels of health and well being. For example, overcrowding in a home can affect health of an individual. The overcapacity of people living under the same roof creates respiratory infections from bacteria and dirt. This mainly involves the lower respiratory tract, which affect the airways and lungs. This has an affect and links to age. It is said that children tend to get more upper RTIs than adults because they have not yet built up immunity (resistance) to the many viruses that can cause these infections. Also, children may not develop well as they will suffer from vital capacity. Children in a lower class family are vital as they are needed so that they can work and contribute to the family income. Therefore, lower social groups face overcrowding as a huge factor affecting health and wellbeing. Additionally, this minimises life expectancy as the illness may not get any better especially in the living condition they are in. As the lower classes are put on the waiting list, this can possibly deteriorate their...

...Understand Your Fats and Fibers Tonya Rorem SCI/241 Instructor: Kevin Modglin According to the “Face the Fat’s” section on the American Heart Association web site bad fats are saturated and trans fats and the better fats are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Fish and Omega-3 oils are the best fats. Saturated fat are triglycerides that contain only saturated fatty acids. A few examples of foods that contain large amounts of saturated fat are animal fats such as cream, cheese, butter, ghee, lard, and fatty meats. Also included are certain vegetable products such as coconut oil, cottonseed oil, palm kernel oil, chocolate, and many prepared foods. Unsaturated fat is a form of fat that is liquid at ordinary temperatures. Its opposite is saturated fat, which holds a more solid form. Fats can also lead to high levels of cholesterol and heart disease, possibly cancer and weight gain as well. Although the dangers tend to be linked with saturated fats. The most common unsaturated fats come from oily fish such as herring, tuna, sardines, salmon, vegetable oils and nuts. Trans-fatty acids (trans fats) are more saturated than natural vegetable oils, solid at room temperature and more similar to saturated fat than to unsaturated fat. Food manufacturers prefer trans fats because they are more stable than vegetable oils and can extend the shelf life of food products. Consuming trans fats increases the risk of heart disease. Hydrogenated fat is solid or semi-solid at room temperatures...

...Stem cells: What they are and what they do Researchers believe stem cells offer great promise for new medical treatments. Learn about stem cell types, current and possible uses, ethical issues and the state of research. By Mayo Clinic staff You've heard about stem cells in the news, and perhaps you've wondered if they might help you or a loved one with a serious disease. You may wonder what stem cells are, how they're being used to treat disease and injury, and why they're the subject of such vigorous debate. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about stem cells. Why is there such an interest in stem cells? Researchers hope stem cell studies can help to: * Increase understanding of how diseases occur. By watching stem cells mature into cells that eventually become bones, heart muscle, nerve cells, and other organs and tissue, researchers and doctors may better understand how a variety of diseases and conditions develop. * Generate healthy cells to replace diseased cells (regenerative medicine). Researchers hope they can train stem cells into becoming specific cells so that those specialized cells can be used to regenerate and repair diseased or damaged tissues in people. People who might benefit from stem cell therapies include those with spinal cord injuries, type 1 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and multiple sclerosis. Stem cells could also be grown to become new...
