The company, which was introduced in 1997, is focused solely on delivering and marketing Kiwifruit. Zespri was founded out of necessity by New Zealand's Kiwifruit growers after the price of kiwifruit declined and the industry faced a disaster. Zespri is owned by 2,700 current and former kiwifruit growers, and is governed by an eight member board elected by the shareholders. In 2008, Lain Jager was elected CEO of Zespri, the first person from inside the kiwifruit industry to be elected as CEO by the board of directors. The focus of this case is the CEO of Zespri Group Limited, Lain Jager, wanting Zespri to increase New Zealand kiwifruit exports to $3 billion by 2025, and how Zespri plans to achieve this. On the way to realizing this commitment, Zespri faces many challenges.

Zespri has its own standards called the “Zespri System” which includes standards of quality, food safety and traceability. Zespri is also a price setter rather than a price taker. Therefore, Zespri is rare compared to other kiwi producers because of their unique systems to ensure efficiency and the best possible kiwi...

...Sara Lee retrenched seven of its business units in 2006 in order to focus its resources on its more profitable industries.

...back with some degree of satisfaction to the positive uptrend in the last couple of years to various initiatives taken by the brand team to recoup some of the lost ground. Despite his pre-occupation with the "100 shining years" celebrations going on for this life-touching brand that had for long added an early morning glimmer to shoes, he was keenly working towards finalising the strategic shifts in the marketing strategy of the brand to take it to the next orbit. The journey of Cherry Blossom (Cherry) as a brand had begun a hundred years ago and had seen many ups and downs. For a long time till mid 1990's, it was the dominant category leader, with virtually no competition, and a market share of about 75%*. Market environment changed when Kiwi emerged actively as one of Sara Lee India's core brand. The changing shoe care habits of consumers and growing popularity of new shoe types further changed the market environment for Cherry. By the end of 1990's, Cherry was losing its shine. The brand had lost its market share steeply from 1999 onwards, and by 2002 it fell to a low of 61% - a drop of 12% in market share. A series of measures helped Cherry to fight this serious erosion to its leadership position, and the slide was arrested in 2003. From there onwards, many active efforts helped the company regain some of the lost ground, and gradually, Cherry’s market share inched up to above 65% in 2005. The brand team’s endeavor now was not just to redefine the brand but also re-evaluate...

...What is a penguin? Many people over the years have asked that question and found their answers by researching. Their finds have helped people answer that question. A penguin is a flightless bird. Flightless birds do not fly and do not use their wings other than to swim. Penguins spend most of their life in or near the ocean. Penguins waddle because of their incredibly short legs which are extremely close to their back. Some can toboggan to get around on patches of ice. Tobogganing is sliding on its stomach. It is a faster more effective way of getting around on the slippery ice and tightly packed snow. The body of a penguin is covered in short thick waterproof feathers. They are tall missile shaped animals with very short legs that cause them to waddle. Penguins can have a great range of color.

...JSBMHA and HIPAA Case Study Jsbmha and Hipaa Case Study How does HIPAA serve to protect patient rights? HIPAA protects any individual’s past their present and future information whether it be physical, mental or any other condition that affects that person. It also protects anything that identifies the individual involved, that would their name, address, birth date and Social Security number. Nothing should be discussed about any individual that an agency is helping. It should not be discussed with anyone who is not directly involved with the case even if that person works for the agency. If they are not involved then it should not be discussed. What areas of the JSBMHA did HIPAA compliance impact? HIPAA has a great impact on patients rights, all areas of the JSBMHA were affected by these two individuals. They affected the patients, and put the agency in an awkward position. They affected the agency, the grandmother could make others aware about what happened and this could affect the agency negatively.

...Personal Responsibility William H. Hill Jr. GEN/200 31 January, 2012 Sherell Ellis I believe that personal responsibility is to be accountable for one’s actions and an individual obligation to personal success. College diplomas are not given to teams. These special certificates are presented as an acknowledgement of individual accomplishment and a testament to a student’s hard work, personal dedication and commitment in achieving academic success. In an educational environment a person can and should give credit to those who have provided them with instruction and by imparting some of their wisdom upon them. However, once someone has been provided with the tools and resources to assist them along the way, ultimately it is up to the individual on how to use those tools correctly. Instructors only have a limited amount of time during which they can provide direction, guidance, and encouragement. After that, students on their own to control the amount of time and effort that is necessary to be successful in reaching their personal educational goals. Once out of the classroom, a student must take upon themself to manage their time wisely and to make the correct decision of how much effort you should personally dedicate to their studies. Although a group of people can perform as a team in order to reach a common goal, and the pooled resources of a group increase the probabilities...
