CONCEPCION, SOFIA LORRAINE P. CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Your study habits play a big role in determining your success in the learning process. Study habits are the ways that you acquire knowledge that you have formed during your school years. Study habits can be good ones or bad ones. Good study habits include being organized, keeping good notes, reading your textbooks, listening in class and working every day.

...Deciding on the right piece of equipment? By: Maurice T. Wade Student: American Intercontinental University Class: ENG106 Abstract Trying to set out and find the perfect computer for the members of my organization there are several factor that are vitally important. These are factors are but not limited to memory, anti-virus protection, and processing speed. So the best choice of all three of these in one would be a MAC from Apple. This would be the recommendation that I would give. The search has been narrowed down between three units which are Apple IMac 27inch (Late 2012), Dell XPS 27 Touch All in One (2720), last but not least Dell Optiplex 9010 AIO.

...During the past few years Target has focused on its microenvironmental factors. They have claimed to have focused on 4 primary causes to the overall factor of the company. First off when you talk about Target you also have to mention their greatest competitor which is Walmart. So, the first stage of these factors is Competitors. The main and well known strategy that they use is very low prices that are resonated with the consumer. This all started when the economy took a plunge into recession and consumers were trying to savor every penny they had in pocket. This led to a decline in market share for target because Walmart then has the largest microenvironment as a competitor with a low costing store. Next on the list of factors is the customers that buy from these stores. As mentioned in the beginning as the recession started customers started relying more on coupons and other ways to save a dollar. This was so wide spread over the U.S. because unemployment rates rose to their all-time highs. Target is very well-known for their style and having slightly higher prices than Walmart for the “better quality” that a customer didn’t have a problem paying before the recession. Overall this idea of being fashionable and spending a few extra dollars on merchandise led to a decrease in customers for Target because they were not being cost savvy for the average customer. If they had done a better job in fulfilling customer satisfaction than Walmart did then they could have had the higher...

...1. Review the list of factors that may contribute to building positive brand equity (list one). Which factors do you think would be the main contributors to a firm’s brand equity? 1. Product range 2. Relative product quality 3. Word-of-mouth 4. Social ‘status’ of the product 5. Visibility of the product 6. Market share (extent of popularity) 7. Success of new products 8. Target markets 9. Competitive set 2. Now review the second list of brand equity benefits. Which ones do you consider to be the main benefits? 1. Increased sales 2. Price premium 3. Customer loyalty 4. Perceived popularity and real visibility 5. Point-of-sale merchandise uptake 6. Supplier bargaining power 7. New product success 8. More product line extensions 9. Significant competitive advantage 10. Point-of-sale merchandise uptake 11. Easier market development 12. Stable cash flow and easier planning 3. Looking at the two lists, do you think that there is a relationship between the two? That is, does a strength/performance in one list contribute to a better result for a similar factor in the other list? (Example, a strong brand can be built by social media, yet strong brands will generally have a greater social media presence and uptake.) Yes, I imagine that there is a relationship between the two records. According to my perspective I surmise that is does quality in one rundown add to a superior result for a comparable...

...traditional domed (выпуклые) trunks, established his reputation as a master luggage-maker. Vuitton began covering his trunks in grey canvas, which was both elegant and waterproof. After a huge success LV started to make shoes, watches, jewelry, accessories, sunglasses and books. (2nd slide) Political factors The global luxury goods market can be separated into America, Europe, Japan, Asia-Pacific, and rest of countries by region. Overall, the major luxury goods consumption countries have relatively stable political environment in recent years. However, in southern Europe, the governments’ financial turmoil and austerity measures indicated an underlying weakening demand of luxury goods for local people. But the gap was filled by travelers from other countries. The import duty policy in different countries is another factor should be considered in the industry. The high import duty will be part reason of high price differences between different countries. Consequently, the grey market can be formed in the countries which have high price differences. (3 slides) Economical factors The major stores of LV are based in Europe, so the euro exchange rate will be an important factor to...

If Nancy works more than 3 days per week, any extra days are paid at double her normal rate. Nancy worked 4 weeks with no overtime, and then worked 3 more weeks, each with y days of overtime. Which of the following represents Nancy’s total earnings over this period? ○○ ○○ ○○ ○○ ○○ 3y(7x 1 2xy) 3x 1 12y 3xy(7x 1 2) 3x(2y 1 7) 4x(y 1 8) Step 1: Analyze the Question We’ve got a wordy question stem and variables in the answer choices, so we can make this question more concrete and manageable through Picking Numbers. Step 2: State the Task We need to determine Nancy’s total earnings over a seven-week period, including four regular three-day weeks and three weeks during which she worked overtime days. Step 3: Approach Strategically We need two values, so let’s set x 5 5 and y 5 2. (Note that it’s a good idea to avoid 3 and 4 when Picking Numbers for this question, since those numbers appear in the question itself and may cause confusion later when we substitute the values into the answer choices.) There are two distinct parts of...

...consumer wealth, and people’s propensity to consume but ignores “the costs and risks of doing business in the market.” These costs are grouped into a category classified as “distance” which itself is sub-divided into four dimensions: cultural distance, administrative distance, geographic distance, and economic distance [CAGE]. Ghemawat proceeds to list factors that influence distance and industries that are affected by the specific dimension. These results are framed in an artificially created schematic: the CAGE Distance Framework. Important attributes contributing towards cultural distance include different languages, different ethnicities, different religions, and different social norms. Important attributes contributing towards administrative distance include absence of colonial ties, absence of shared monetary or political association, political hostility, government policies, and institutional weakness. Factors toward geographic distance include physical remoteness, lack of a common border, lack of sea or river access, size of country, weak transportation or communication links, and differences in climate. Factors towards economic distance include...

...Cost of Short-Term Financing 1) Commercial Paper The EPG Mfg. Co. uses commercial paper regularly to support its needs for short-term financing. The firm plans to sell $100 million in 270-day maturity paper on which it expects to have to pay discounted interest at a rate of 12 percent per annum. In addition, EPG expects to incur a cost of approximately $100,000 in dealer placement fees and other expenses of issuing the paper. The effective cost of credit to EPG can be calculated as follows: APR = [($9,000,000 + $100,000)/($100,000,000 - $100,000 - $9,000,000)] * [1/(270/360)] = 13.35% 2) Accounts Receivable Loans The AB Co. sells electrical supplies to building contractors on terms of net 60. The firm’s average monthly sales are $100,000; thus given the firm’s 2 month credit terms, its average receivables balance is $200,000. The firm pledges all its receivables to a local bank, which in turn advances up to 70% of the face value of the receivables at 3% over prime and with a 1% processing charge on all receivables pledged. AB follows a practice of borrowing the maximum amount possible, and the current prime rate is 10%. The APR of using this source of financing for a full year is computed as follows: APR = [($18,200 + $12,000)/$140,000]*[1/(360/360)] = 21.57% 3) Factoring Accounts Receivable $100,000 receivable is factored, carrying 60-day credit terms, a 2% factors’s fee, a 6% reserve and interest at 1% per month on advances...

...needs are needed at the same time as well as conflicting needs. Frederick Herzberg developed a theory on motivation during the midst of the 20th century which is most commonly known as the "dual factor theory". This is generally used when investigating motivation in organisations. His study was based on a survey of a study of 203 people across the 2 professional groups of engineers and accountants at Pittsburgh University, where they were asked to recall times over the previous year when they felt "exceptionally good" and "exceptionally bad" and their explanation for each case. From this study he identified two distinct list of factors that altered their motivation. These lists were a set of factors which cause satisfaction and dissatisfaction with both lists being mutually exclusive. The factors of satisfiers or Motivators, which are understood to yield a real sense of motivation in employees, are ordered in a list increasing in frequency beginning with a sense of personal achievement and growth, feelings of responsibility, intrinsically interesting work, feelings of recognition because the work is important and ending with a sense of achievement. These factors are all intrinsic to the individual and to do with job content. The opposite factors are known as dissatisfiers or hygiene factors. These will not motivate people in an organisation but are necessary within the...
