Cadbury Strategic Ambiguity

In 2009, Cadbury introduced a new advertisement where two school children made their eyebrows move to music. The advertisement was part of Cadbury’s strategy of preparing creative content for the company and capturing the attention of the audience. The advertisement is considered vague and strange as it does not make it clear why the students are moving their eyebrows or if eating Cadbury eggs is making their eyebrows move. The play on anonymity is the ultimate of the advertisement and makes the audience watch the whole ad for its creativity. The audience keeps guessing the reason for the ...

In his article, ‘Honesty in Negotiations', Chris Provis alludes that there has been a consistently prevailing ethical belief that the concept of honesty should at all times remain unconditional. As a result, a good participant in a negotiation must always resist the common temptation towards the engagement in practices that would be deemed as dishonest. This is a significant aspect that should be applicable even in circumstances where the negotiator is dealing with an individual whose honesty is under a cloud of doubt. As postulated by Chris Provis, giving a warning to the negotiating partner in the effect that ...

1) “Once in a while—not quite often enough to be a crisis, but just often enough to be a trope—people in the United States will freak out because a huge number of highly popular websites and services have suddenly gone down” (Burrington). The phrase “gone down” makes the sentences ambiguous and can assign to it two different, but not mutually exclusive, meanings. The phrasal verb “go down” can be attributed to the number – then it will mean the reduction in the amount, and to the websites in the IT sphere – then it will mean that the website ( ...

Whenever it is applied, it permits a person who is factually guilty to escape punishment and incarceration. Canadian laws have numerous circumstances exempt individuals from criminal responsibility ...

The greatness of The Great Gatsby has been applicable for all leaders over various organisations, whether the organisation is a business run by a family or ...

Abstract

In a globalized world, it seems as though culture shock is inevitable. Essentially, people “encounter culture shock whenever they uproot themselves from a familiar setting an move to an unfamiliar one,” (Ting-Toomey & Chung, 2011, p. 93). With millions of people traveling as tourists, finding work in other countries, and students studying outside of their homeland, culture shock is an experience that will ultimately affect so many. For some scholars, what it really boils down to is how a person handles their culture shock, and how their reaction to culture shock will affect their ability to adapt to a new ...

People interpret morality differently depending on their social realities and cultural backgrounds. The concept of evil and good can vary from one person to the other. For instance, to a married woman, falling in love with another man who is not her husband is a grave sin. However, someone else may question whether her husband treated her respectfully or if the man seduced her before passing their judgment to her actions. Edna Pontellier is a woman embroiled in a similar situation in the novel “The Awakening” by Kate Chopin, which shrouds her character all through the novel. Therefore, this ...

Introduction

The path-goal leadership theory was developed in order to pinpoint distinct leadership styles that aided in motivating subordinates to meet objectives. Path-goal theory distinguishes between four main leadership styles, which include directive, supportive, participative, and achievement-oriented (Polston-Murdoch, 2013). The directive and achievement-oriented styles tend to be associated with male leaders, while female leaders tend to be associated with supportive and participative styles (Polston-Murdoch, 2013). Whether change initiatives succeed in organizations is often tied to the level and type of employee motivation. In management theory, transformational leadership is tied to change initiatives due to transformational leadership’s emphasis on vision, ...

Introduction

Throughout is history, the American society has exhibited an unrivalled sense of national identity. Being an American citizen has over the centuries since its independence was seen as the most significant facet of an individual living within US borders. As such, US citizens who are residents in other countries also take much pride in the numerous benefits accruing to them, by reason of their American citizenship. As Bradburn provides, the boundaries defining real aspects of what entails an American citizen have since been blurry and undefinable since independence (1094).

Introduction

The current debate over the teaching on Universal Salvation did not come from a new Christian teaching but from an argument on issues seen in the old one. Outside the ancient Christian Church, however, the first attention to this teaching perhaps came from Hosea Ballou, an American pastor who co-founded the first Universalist church in the United States and later on attributed as the father of the American Universalism. He wrote in 1892 a book, which chronicled the history of universalism up to A.D. 553. The debate heated up when an evangelical philosopher, Thomas Talbott, who wrote in 1995 ...

Introduction

Globalization has come up with major trends amongst multinational corporations and other ordinary entities. This is because the idea of doing business across different boundaries lends itself to unique and distinct issues and matters. Globalization comes with a high degree of uncertainty because it involves dealing with many issues and matters across boundaries. In the past, most nations around the world were focused on dealing with matters within a given national framework or country. However, multinational entities deal with things that spans across different nations and communities. This comes with major problems and challenges. Furthermore, ethics are subjective. They ...

Criminal justice administration is a challenging role since it determines the outcomes of operations conducted by any law enforcement agency. The decisions made by individuals in this role provide the infrastructure to prevent crime, uphold the law, serve and protect the people, and maintain the peace. The professional conduct of such administrators is often under threat due to undue pressure from local politicians, organized crime leadership, and even a Federal or State law enforcement agency. The chances for succumbing to pressure are high when ethics are lacking. Ethics influence the moral decisions that administrators make. Ethical behavior constitutes to ...

The two poems, Because I Could Not Stop for Death, by Emily Dickinson and Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night, by Dylan Thomas deal with the theme of death. Each poem looks at death in different ways. Thomas does not accept death readily, but implores his father to hold on to life. On the other hand, Dickinson accepts death calmly. Both poets make use of figurative devices such as metaphors, personification and alliteration as they explore their opposing views of the concept of death.

Dickinson creates the feeling that death has compassion and creates a contrast in how ...

I believe that a person is born into a context; race, sex, family, country. The interplay between personal traits and external circumstances makes a person the way they are. The same person born to a different family or a different culture would suffer from different kinds of hardship or distress.

Optimal Functioning

- What was your favorite film viewed in the class this semester and why?

I would mark out Reservoir Dog by Quentin Tarantino as my favorite because I am a worshiper of his creative activity. I liked it because once one had seen it he would never forget the scenes. Tarantino supposed the scenes to be disturbing and he succeeded. I do not like violence, but I like the way the scenes in the film were organized. I believe that the film leaves no one indifferent due to black humor used and Tarantino’s unique narrative style. Also, particular attention should be paid to social context of the film meaning the relationships between black ...

This can be simply put as communication between different cultures. It is used to describe the wide range of communication barriers that exist after interaction of people with different cultures. As the word is growing into a global village, interactions between people of diverse culture are increasing as the world becomes smaller. People are travelling from their birth places to seek to start life in different places hence the result of intercultural communication. In USA for example, people from the US can be found in different parts of the world as they are seeking new environments as well people from ...
