    In a study conducted by Boyle & Joss-Reid (2004), the effect of humor on health was investigated. Data was collected from a sample of 504 individuals who were divided into three groups (community group, university students, and respondents with a medical condition). RAND 36-Item Health Survey (Hays, Sherbourne & Mazel, 1993) and Multidimensional Sense of Humor Scale (Thorson & Powell, 1993) was completed by the participants. RAND Health Survey yields eight dimensions of Health-Related Quality of Life: Physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health, role limitations due to emotional problems, energy/fatigue, emotional well-being, social functioning, pain, general health and health change. It was hypothesized that humor would be significantly associated with health and that individuals having a greater sense of humor would report better health as compared with those with less humor.…

    Shanghai Tang has been in the business of selling high quality retail items for men and women, clothing and accessories, since 1994. Their designs have been based upon Chinese cultural influence while also being modern and wearable in markets around the world. Although business has gone well under the leadership of Rafael Le Manse, the company is experiencing some new internal and external issues. Shanghai Tang’s competition is about to establish a market presence in China and in order to stay ahead in the game; Le Manse needs to figure out how to expand the existing customer base. Also, Le Manse’s long time creative partner, Joanne Ooi, is leaving the company. At best, if no action is taken, the company will be able to stay afloat and see marginal profits with a design team that will be without a leader and solid direction. What is likely to happen is a decrease in sales and the existing consumers are going to buy goods from the “new store coming to town.” Alternatively, Shanghai Tang could actually go out of business if they don’t reestablish themselves with their existing consumers and expand their current market. If Shanghai Tang is to sit back on their heels, they will fail.…
