The official correspondent and creator of the Australian War Memorial, Charles Bean is greatly responsible for the present Australian perspective of the Great War. However, by also focussing on the worthy Australian army nurse experiences, this conventional perspective of the Great War broadens (Inglis. K. S, 2015). This is because, Australian army nurses endured chauvinistic constraints, challenging working environments and long term mental health impacts to succour injured soldiers.

Consequently, Australian army nurses encountered additional arduous experiences

This chapter from Blink by Malcolm Gladwell provides some very intriguing points on how we as consumers perceive images and how this can differ from the way developers and experts do. One of the things that truly caught my eye when I was reading this chapter was the last section called the gift of expertise. In this passage the author talks mostly about having lunch with two expert taste testers and how their experience with food differs from the average person. He goes on to relate this to the business world and how experts in their field can tend to lack the awareness of the empathy to see a product or service in the eyes of the consumer or the average person. For me personally, I have had similar problems with this mentality. While no expert

This paper evaluated symbolic meaning to be interpreted into a designed product or experience. The ambition is to pull apart symbolic meaning to reveal connections with design and its users. (Kujala, S., Nurkka, P. 2012, p15). Through verified observation on two case studies, one a sports heart monitor and the other a plastic plate collection, it examines sentence completion to assess users symbolic meaning. Referring to reviewed literature for research purposes, the paper analyses the interview process as a method to identify the symbolic meaning the user has with a product or experience. It indicated that perhaps a more in-depth analysis was needed therefore a specific research method may be appropriate. The reviews revealed the challenges in symbolic meaning evaluations, therefore they approached these challenges by introducing the sentence completion technique to two case studies. Data triangulation becoming evident in this analysis from the use of secondary research and the sentence completion study conducted.

Recently, a broader context of branding has developed on the focal point of customer experiences designed by different sorts including company-customer, employee-customer, and customer-customer interaction-imbedded companies (Brodie et al., 2009; Merz et al., 2009; Payne et al., 2009). Past studies pointed out that from interactions, consumers experience behavior and attitudes from employees during service presentation (Vella et al, 2009). Employees’ attitudes and behaviors could deliver brand promise to external stakeholders (Schultz et al, 2002). Employees’ offbeat skills can attribute to a firm’s comparative advantage, which may be replaceable at ease, could be regarded as a unique contribution to reduce the challenge of employees being

The topic of consumer knowledge focuses on a consumer’s understanding of their desires, ultimately shaping their attitudes and intentions towards purchasing. Experiences can help a consumer choose a better product and make their decision-making process easier. However, if a consumer is somewhat inexperienced in this area, they look to external sources for guidance, these are called group influences. This report will systematically discuss the consumer’s knowledge of an inert brand, as well as assessing the extent and nature of their knowledge. Additionally, the report will identify where personal and group influences have occurred throughout their decision-making process and what each type of influence is. Throughout the report strategies will be discussed for the inert brand to implement.
