For the purpose of this study, the researcher identifies the problem of traffic and congestion of vehicles as the ...

Research and management decisions

The quantitative report on brand parity perception in the automotive industry in Germany is not a research study because it lacks some of the important characteristics of a research study. The author, for example, does not do independent data collection but rather relies on data that was already collected. The report also does not have a very clear statement of objectives. The report is a mere analysis of previously collected data. The qualitative report on identifying competitors as a challenge for start-ups, however, is a research study since it comprises all of the important aspects of a research study ( ...

Introduction

Placing eco-labels on the consumer products is thought to have immense positive effects on the consumer behavior. In particular, some studies strongly suggest that when the consumers become aware about the product origins and the method used in merchandising, their consumer choices become more ecologically and environmentally friendly. The purpose of the future is to investigate whether these assumptions are validated, or they are merely the results of unfounded marketing speculations.

Background

There is a strong opinion among the marketing professionals that the importance of eco-labelling is gradually, but steadily growing. Thus, several studies confirmed the assumption that traditional methods ...

1.0 Without putting the figures you cited into a spreadsheet, it is quick to appreciate the fact that the medical costs of obesity is clearly higher than the cost of implementing the research project. The net obesity cost (NOC)-to-project implementation cost (PIC) ratio of 10.2 [$1,429 / $140] is convincingly high. A patient’s annual savings from obesity cost can virtually finance this project implementation estimate. However, it is unclear to us if the cost of implementing the proposed exercise prescription protocol (EPP) or the actual implementation of EPP by the patient, using the necessary equipment and ...

Introduction Wheat (Triticum sp.), an extensively adapted crop, is one of the primitive and primary staple food crops in the world. Wheat is cultivated from temperate; dry to irrigated or rain-fed areas, to warm, humid or cold conditions. Such a high adaptability is attributed to its intricate genome (Acevedo et al., 2002). Wheat cultivation covers more land area compared to other commercial crops and endures to be an essential food grain for humans (Curtis, 2002). Estimations reveal that by 2050, the population of the world will reach 9.1 billion (34 percent greater than today); correspondingly, the food requirement and ...

Background

In the languages that are widely spoken in the world today, all verbs can be categorized as transitive, intransitive or ambitransitive. Historically, linguists have understood transitivity as a “transfer of energy from one entity to another” (Hoche, 2009, p. 148). It appears from this definition that transitive verbs presume the transfer ...

Should every country in the world have a reasonable minimum wage?

Ideally, I think there should be a minimum wage set for every country. This would mean the assurance that each and every individual can provide for his daily needs. This would include rent, food, water, utilities. However, the minimum wage should cover enough of the spending to go beyond the poverty line and should cover inflation as well. There should also be the right balance between what a worker receives and what he pays in taxes. It would not be beneficial for one to receive high minimum wage while having a high tax burden to bear at the same ...
