The appreciation for the literary craftsmanship of Franz Kafka cannot be understated. In fact, according to one journal article’s assessment by Berthoff, “Lovers of literature are forever indebted” to the writer’s friend Max Brod, “who ignored Kafka’s ‘last request’ to destroy all his manuscripts and proceeded to edit and publish” some of his novels (499). Also at the outset it is important to recognize that the original language Kafka wrote in was German, although he spoke in Czech. According to the same source Kafka’s office writings had been informed by – or at least and influencing ...

One of the commonly disregarded or overlooked aspects of competitive advantage is the brand. Branding should not be viewed as just advertising, the worth, which it holds for the esteemed customers of the company, must be considered.

Disney, coca cola, and apple are among companies, which have been acknowledged throughout the world as a respected brand. It is arguable that the three brands mentioned above will remain a source of advantage in the 21st century (White papers, n.d). ...
