Marketing sentiment on Lululemon Athletica is positive, as indicated by the fact that the company has a higher P/E ratio than Nike, but the intrinsic value analysis suggests that Lululemon Athletica is in fact overpriced and should be sold.…
1. In preparation Lululemon has hired a new CEO, Robert Meers. His leadership’s beliefs stem from a five-year vision called “ Community Legacies program”. This program is based on the belief that “every person we hire, garment we create, store we open, customer we educate, and yoga class we attend contributes to building a legacy in our communities”. Not only does this goal/ action plan show his commitment to giving and leading people at Lululemon but also shows his interest in maintaining a health and fulfilled environment in communities they operate within. With Roberts Meers guidance I believe that Lululemon will achieve to grow as a global retailer.…
These days it’s hard to see a person wearing no clothing from lululemon. Either it’s the famous headband or the pants, you can always tell. The reason why I chose lululemon as my topic is because it’s Canadian, not many people know that the first lululemon store opened was in Vancouver, and that the main headquarters is in Vancouver too.…

Many of us know about the devastating hurricane Katrina that took place in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 2005, but how many of us actually thought about the communication issues. From the writing of James L Garnett and Alexander Kouzmin,” Hurricane Katrina was as much a communication disaster as it was a natural and bureaucratic disaster. Communication gaps, missed signals, information technology failures, administrative buffering, turf battles, and deliberate and unintentional misinterpretations delayed and handicapped both the recognition…
A crisis is an event in which it is looked upon as leading to a dangerous unstable situation. These events can affect individuals, communities, it even can affect the nation depending on how severe it is. When people are in a crisis situation they tend to forget their normal coping measures. When people train on crisis situations they tend to do better in these type of events. Dynamics differs in times of crisis, mass trauma, and disaster for some communities. When disaster strikes it changes the normal function of the community. People feel unsafe and are devastated, confused and unsure what is happening and what they need to do. Each…

Business isn’t always about staying on top and trying to beat out the competition or make a name for the company. Sometimes, the issue can be simply staying afloat when harder times come. Businesses occasionally go through situations that could threaten or harm people or property, interrupt business, damage reputation or negatively impact share value. These situations make up the definition of a crisis. Every organization is vulnerable to crisis, whether that organization is large, small, successful, or just getting off the ground. Crisis is something that can determine whether a company will last or simply die out in the near future, so businesses should prepare themselves for times like these. Businesses that have failed because of crises, in the past, seemed to have lacked in proper crisis communication. Without adequate communication, operational response will break down, stakeholders usually react negatively in a confused panic, and the organization will be perceived as inept and criminally negligent (Brice). In order to better prepare for times of crisis, there are eight basic steps that have been implied by businesses that have overcome crises in the past. They require advance work in order to minimize damage, because more damaged is incurred if a business takes longer to respond to a crisis.…

When an event like water contamination occurs, it gives an opportunity for emergency teams to work with diverse communities to effectively relay the importance of health communication, and it causes the citizens of those communities to be dependent upon the emergency teams to bring them to a safe place from the crisis. Sometimes a crisis can have good outcomes, and sometimes the outcomes are not as favorable. The advantages that we’re hoping for while communicating with the associations and the public are, that everyone involved receives the correct public health information messages, and…
