Monarchy is defined as ‘a form of government with a monarch at the head’ and was the first arrangement of power in Rome after its founding by Romulus, who reigned from 753-715BC.1 However, by 510BC, the despotic actions of Tarquinius Superbus marked the end of a succession of increasingly tyrannical kings, and the ‘Roman Republic’ was established. This system was based on a sharing of power between, foremost, two consuls who were elected by the people and held office for only one year, then 300 senators, and two popular assemblies, the comitia curiata and the comitia centuriata. With such a spread of auctoritas, the Roman state would be at less risk from corrupt men with their aims set on an autocratic rule. The precepts of the Roman republic were honourable and upheld, in the most part, until the civil wars of 91BC onwards disturbed it, culminating in what many would consider the fall of the Republic, and thus the establishment of a monarchy, with Augustus at the battle of Actium on 2nd September 31BC.…

The major reasons for the fall of Rome are truly those that have to do with Rome's political and economic state. One of the Rome’s problems prior to its fall was the lack of respect for authority, among the citizens and military forces. All the attacks from the barbarians caused problems in the military. This basically led to a lot of political turmoil because of all the chaos that was born, and it started to make the military crumble as well. Rome's economy started to go downhill too, after a long period…

They had been driven off their own land and subjected to lives as prisoners and slaves. They had endured the sight of their culture and everything they loved be destroyed, and now they were angry. They were even more angered by the attack on the headquarters of the Druidic religion, which they practiced.

In October 1998, M&S’s began to face problems which they tried to overcome byadopting different strategies. However, their efforts proved to be unsuccessful and there areseveral factors attributed to that failure.Their products were old-fashioned and remained unchanged for many years. M&S’scompetitors sold products that were more design-focused and up-to-date. Small companies alsooffered similar clothes as M&S stores but at lower prices. Even though M&S was a very wellknown company, they no longer understood or reacted to its customers’ changing wants andneeds. Therefore, they did not understand their target market, who might want different varietiesof products. They expanded their business but continued with its traditional design and ignoredthe changes in the market place.To overcome their problems they focused on the day-to-day operations of the firm.However, plans were not worked out on a long-term basis. There was internal managementresponsible for this. The company mostly made women’s wear, but top levels were dominated bymale executives, so they did not realize the women’s preferences and design choices. Therefore,they did not implement the right strategy for the market. The company also always promotedtheir CEO or Chairman from within the company and thus they did not have any fresh outlooksor suggestions for the business. The decisions that were made did not fulfill their expectations.All of these are some reasons behind the fail to overcome the problems during 1998 to 2001.Early in 2000, they make the decision to appoint Luc Vandevelde as new Chairman of M&S.…
