    Bar soap is seemingly such an unassuming everyday household item. However it isn’t as simple as it may appear. For example, Dove soap is made up of sodium cocoylisethionate, stearic acid, coconut acid, and sodium tallowate. In addition, water, sodium isethionate, sodium stearate, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium cocoate or palm kernelate, fragrance, sodium chloride, BHT and titanium dioxide are also used. Now, the once ordinary bar of soap seems so much more complex. To my surprise, many women around the world see a bar of Dove soap even more complex than that. The Dove campaign for Real beauty has inspired many women to think far more critically about something that they would normally not think much about. Since 2004 Dove has tried, “…to celebrate the natural physical variation embodied by all women and inspire them to have the confidence to be comfortable with themselves.”(Dove) Dove has launched a variety of advertisements, video, workshops, and sleepover events to 11 million women throughout the country.…

    The main issue of the P&G Korea case is centered around the question of market share. P&G and Unilever are the two major market shareholders in the Korean detergent industry holding 80-85% of the total market share. The remaining 15-20% of the market is held by low-priced local Korean brands. There are no new markets either company can tap for further market share since most Korean households already use laundry detergent, making the market saturated. Other than peripheral chemical changes claimed to be “improvements”, there are no major innovations to be explored for product development or diversification. Per Ansoff’s strategic opportunities matrix, P&G and Unilever are both focused on Market Penetration, working to increase their prospective shares of the Korean detergent market.…

    Windward company has an organizational structure that is known as a Team structure. Under the team structure there is a CEO at the top just as there is in the divisional structure. However, under the team structure the CEO and the two VP 's all work together. Unlike in the divisional structure where the VP 's roll up to the CEO in the team they work with the CEO. It is under the CEO and the two VP 's that there are two separate groups also known as teams that work side by side. Each of the groups has their own mini organization of Marketing, Customer Service, Distribution, etc. So, theoretically if either of the groups were to dissolve the other group could assist the organization by taking on their duties. In the team structure there is some duplication of roles as there is in the divisional structure.…

    Martin Luther King’s speech was not nearly a “cry” but a declaration to the change he wanted to see within the United States. In his speech, he speaks of his dreams where both white and black citizens can get along without the barricade of “prejudice”. He speaks of states that continue to accept slavery such as Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana. His subject is slavery, but he also talks about freedom for all of god’s “children”.…

    Global sourcing is defined as the process of identifying, developing, and utilizing the source of supply for the enterprise through expanding purchasing activities internationally. It is a part of post reengineering activities which is an useful measure of cutting cost. Global sourcing is a typical example of foreign construction outsourcing firms which process construction by distributing each process of construction work to vendors instead of running on its own. Such construction method not only does reduce costs in terms of managing construction sites such as labor cost and equipment cost including vehicles, but also is being adopted by various companies for value-adding construction management (CM) project.…

    Many companies in today’s business world are exploring new ways to surpass their competitors. Over the past twenty years, there has been a significant increase in worldwide sourcing. According to Tim Minahan from SearchCIO, global sourcing is the process of identifying, evaluating, negotiating and configuring supply across multiple geographies to reduce costs, maximize performance and mitigate risks (Minahan, 2003). So why is going international so popular among business owners? Companies are striving to take this approach for many reasons. Some of the main benefits include cost reduction, improved quality, advanced technology, and availability of supplies. On the other hand, companies with no international experience often face barriers to worldwide sourcing. Typical problems consist of having lack of knowledge, currency fluctuations, longer lead times, and cultural differences. It is understood that the advantages of sourcing worldwide outweigh the disadvantages. Companies that take this approach go through many challenges but in the end those challenges pay off.…
