Some food places sell food to consumers knowing that there are problems with their food. The consumer then gets sick, and when they try to sue the company they are not able to because of financial issues.…

On a typical school day, for breakfast, I drink a cup of coffee at Starbucks which accompanied by a delicious bread produced by Franz and some California strawberries. For lunch, I eat food from the school’s cafeteria; usually two slices of pizza and snacks from the vending machines. For dinner, I cook traditional meals, such as “Ndole” (a typical Cameroonian dish) which principal ingredients are: a spinach-like vegetable and prawns. “Ndole” is delicious and eating that meal reminds me of a lot of my home country. To prepare most meals, I usually get ingredients from the nearest grocery stores to my house in Bothell, Washington.

    Wipro had set a goal to be among the 'Big 5' global IT players within the next five years. However, despite its tremendous business successes in the recent past, a Brand Perception Survey conducted in 2006 among prospective clients showed that awareness of Wipro was much lower than for its main Indian rival. On the other hand, between 2005-2006 its 'favorability' scores had increased dramatically, that is, those who knew about Wipro now had a far more favorable impression about the company.
