    Haefren Baum

    Marketing analysis: Haefren Baum sells high quality home furniture, which is manufactured by German company, Wiegandt GmbH Cologne. The demand for high-end furniture is cyclical and influenced by consumer confidence and the overall economy. They have been incorporated since 1970, therefore they do have a reputation and brand image already built. They have been a customer of Wiegandt since 1968 and have maintained good relations so far. The German economy had a bust in 1993, which lead to a decline in furniture sales. This is evident in the sales dropping in 1993 to 1995 from $18,647 to $14,397. Much of the industry has to cut back prices to keep sales volume up. Haefren Baum, being a small retailer was really affected by this price deduction as more competitors entered the market. They built outlets in Rhineland suburban areas to try reaching consumers in the midst of intense competition with a wider selection and reduced prices. Regardless of their efforts in cutting prices and building outlets, the suffered from a (-1.24%) sales growth in 1995 but it was an improvement from (-21.05%) sales growth in 1994. Their market position is deteriorating, because as number of furniture outlets grew by five times, the industry sales were still “soft” even after the economy was recovering in 1995. I believe the sales will remain stagnant because of the increased competition and inability to expand due to tight credit and cash issues.…

    Habakkuk

    • 1891 Words
    • 8 Pages

    The prophet Habakkuk introduced in his Book is not considered a prominent figure, as he is considered to be one of the twelve Minor Prophets. There is no indication of his lineage and is just referred to as Habakkuk the prophet in the Biblical text, but due the liturgical nature of the verses in the book, some scholars have described Habakkuk as a cultic prophet. The apocryphal and post-biblical literatures do not reach a consensus to who he was. Some say that he came from the tribe of Simeon and others in the tribe of Levi, and information as such is not regarded as true facts, rather as romanticized add-ons of the story, supporting the idea that these were just tacked on as later details. The estimated date that it was written in, was a time recent to the battle of Carchemish, which was the beginning of the 7th century BCE.…

    Last week, I wrote about what I thought about the word “culture”, what it meant to me, and how it related of coming of age. I discussed on how culture to me meant the customs and beliefs of your past generation passed on to you and creating that to your image. This week I’ve now realized there are many other factors of culture that influence our way of life. Pop culture plays a big role if not more on who we are and how we behave. I discovered that many aspects like television and social media affect culture and change it frequently. In Tim Delaney’s ‘Pop Culture: An Overview’ he mentioned “popular culture encompasses the most immediate and contemporary aspects of our lives. These aspects are often subject to rapid change, especially in a highly…

    Weather and climate modification modern American history through cloud seeding began when Irving Langmuir and Vincent Schaefer, General Electric Company scientists found a way to modify clouds, which was by seeding the clouds with dry ice pellets, this was twenty years ago. Their coworker, Bernard Vonnegut, demonstrated that a different method would accomplish the same result, which was by using a smoke of silver crystals of iodide. On November 13, 1946, these American scientists had experimentally verified the theory by the Swedish meteorologist, Tor Bergeron, and the German physicist, Walter Findeisen, advanced in 1933 that if clouds contained the right mixture of supercooled water drops and ice crystals they would precipitate.

    Many people can agree that popular culture is invasive, but the opinions differ on how invasive it actually is and whether it is harmful or beneficial. In David Denby’s Buried Alive: Our Children and the Avalanche of Crud, he clearly states his opinion of popular culture and how it has invaded his home and the attitude of his children. The main source of popular culture according to Denby is the media, which has become “three-dimensional, inescapable, omnivorous, and self-referring” and has taken away the idea that parents and teachers are the ones to nurture their children. The media hitherto is not always a good influence on children because of its vulgarity and addictiveness, which can cause children to take on the attitude and life style portrayed on television. Denby is correct in stating that popular culture affects children’s lives and their attitudes, but he is incorrect in saying that pop culture only has negative affects because it can actually benefit the human mind and keep the world connected.…

    The book Signs of Life in the U.S.A focus how American pop culture can be a huge part of our education journey. Our culture has so many highs and lows that it affects our everyday life without us knowing, for example the essay from Amy Lin, a student from UCLA argues about Mattel’s most popular toy the, Barbie. She argues that toy’s giant marketing schemes, the lack of culture, and the promotion of materialism is damaging the future generations . When reading this essay it shows American culture of materialism and greed. With this negative bad example it teaches Americans to become greed and self centered which changes our pop culture. However, pop culture can have a positive effect on our lives, for example the essay from Rose Sorooshian,…
