Mkt 421 Week 2 Personal Reflection Journal

We are all very busy with work and school so sometimes we forget what needs to be done in time, so the daily planner is a very useful tool that helps you remember important events. Every day I update something new on my planner that would keep me updated for the upcoming week or month. For example, when it comes to my studies I have a special section for it and I always put a writing “study an hour in am and pm for English” to look over the materials on the given chapter. It is a great way not to fall behind on your studies and you are much better prepared when it comes on taking the chapter exam. When it comes to work I put the days and hours that I work a head of time so I can be able to figure out the time I have left to spend with my family and time for studying. As I mention before, family time is very important to me so I mostly put on my planer simple family stuff such us having dinner in a certain time, days of going out, or doing different chores, enrolling my son into daily or weekly activities, shopping, or family trips.

I inferred from the data that my topic is one that nobody in the audience knew anything

Marketing is often thought of as advertising and selling, but marketing encompasses more than just selling a product or service and advertising it to entice customers to make a purchase. Perrault, Cannon, and McCarthy (2009) defined marketing as "the performance of activities that seek to accomplish an organization’s objectives by anticipating customer or client needs and directing a flow of need satisfying goods and services from producer to customer or client" (p. 6). However, Kotler and Keller (2009) stated one of the shortest definitions is "meeting needs profitably" (p. 5). The author's definition of marketing includes all of the activities a business

It is generally assumed that all Romanians are liars and thieves. This is a stereotype. Yes, most of them are poor and some of them have no choice but to take things and lie. This is how some of them survive. Especially the Roma (gypsies). Most people assume the gypsies and the Romanians are one and the same when they are not. The Roma have the Romany language somewhat mixed with their home country, the ones who live in Romania mix Romanian with the Romany language. The Romanian language is a mix of Latin which dates back to the Roman times, Turkish, Greek, and Slavic languages. It also has some words that are derivative of German

Cultural differences between nations often require a company to have multiple marketing strategies. What may be acceptable in on country may not be acceptable in another country. The cultural differences require companies to develop marketing plans that are suitable for each individual culture. Not being aware of and understanding the cultural differences can create costly and embarrassing errors that may actually offend those in other countries. Cultural differences can affect the colors of products, the graphics used on packaging, and how the product is communicated to the foreign target market.

Locals from Virginia had to deal with many different agricultural problems. Farming in Northampton County was not as rewarding as living in areas like the James and the York. “Early inhabitance of Northampton County could not escape the omnipresent influence of the sea…They were for the most part, small scale producers of grain, tobacco, and livestock.”(Breen, Innes 37) What really devastated this reign was the lack of trade routes due to the shallow harbor and creeks. Many powerful storms from all four seasons destroyed the coast. These storms altered the geographic representation of Northampton County. Due to the vast amounts of streams and creeks flooding into the ocean many coves were formed which as Breen and Innes stated “they anticipated not only that the coves were afforded safe, deep-water harbors, but also that the creeks provided easy access to distant inland resources.” (Breen, Innes 38) Despite the deeper harbor and creeks, a captain

Michaela answered after 2 rings with the standard greeting and identified herself. I jumped in and said that I have a CD coming due with a large bank but am disappointed with the interest it is earning. She asked me what term the CD was and I told her 6 months. She then gave me the rates and I told her that was also low. She then told me about the 9 and 12 month CD, which has higher interest rates. I told her that the 12 month was a little better. I told her it would be hard for my wife and I to get to the back, to which she told me that they are open until 6:00 on Thursdays and on Saturday. I told her my wife and I were busy this Saturday but might come in the following Saturday. She then told me that we would first have to open a main

Getting oneself out on the market is the most important part of getting a new job. In order to do this, a person must market themselves. In order to properly market themselves, a potential candidate has to know the resources in which to present themselves as good employee material. It is always a good idea to have a plan in place of the places that employment is desired. Then research those companies and determine what the best way to present a resume is. It is always a good idea to research the companies to begin with in order to come to a good determination as to whether or not this

Louis, I thought you did a very good job on your week two task. Your discussion board post was well researched and written. I’d noticed some spelling mistakes, punctuation, grammar, or APA errors.

I shared my research journal with my writing group. The provided me with some wonderful feedback. The feedback was specific in nature and helped me move forward in my work. We spent most of our time working together looking at my coding system. I went through each of my interviews and the coding system I utilized. Some of the feedback I received at first was that I had “too many codes”. Together we went through each interview and tried to decide if we could use less codes. The group found we really couldn’t use less codes because patterns were starting to emerge and we needed the keep the codes I had already worked on. The codes brought important information to light and we could see how the patterns highlighted in the process. For

You also could use a planner to help you remember when things are due and what you have going on that you need to plan around. Say you play a sport and you have to attend a game on Thursday and you have an essay due on Friday. You could plan ahead and get the essay done on Wednesday so all you have to do Thursday is look over it and then Friday you can turn it in. And if it’s already Thursday, you can work on it before the game, on the way to the game, on the way home from the game, and when you get home. You can turn in your work on Friday and not feel stressed and you can have a good time at the Friday night game.

What is the relationship between differentiation and positioning of products or services? Is the repositioning of the product in the simulation as you had

However, as much as the interview section is familiar to me, editing the interview to be released on the newspaper according to the newspaper's terms as well as the editor's instructions were not simple. No one can share neither a headline on their website nor can publish a story on the local newspaper without the editor's confirmation. During the process of editing the story, Yasemin who is the editor of the London Turkish Gazette gave me tips on how to approach writing the story, what type of key terms and structure to include. In my opinion, Yasemin's advice were incredibly useful and I had to see how challenging her role is when she is paying attention to details, grammar, accurateness of the stories, and having a counterbalanced story at the paper. According to Yasemin: " Any mistakes at the paper will potentially put the success of the Gazette and Hey Print into trouble, and the consequences

Keeping a personal schedule or calendar can assist in prioritizing important dates, deadlines, and goals (Martinez Tucker, 2002). Asking for assistance from friends, family, and neighbors can also provide support. Finally, engaging in various stress relieving activities may prevent students from feeling overwhelmed.
