Internet usage has skyrocketed in the past few decades, along with this increase comes the increase in internet shopping by consumers. This research examines the behaviors, motivations, and attitudes of this new form of consumer entity. Online consumer behavior has been studied for over 20 years and will undoubtedly be the source of many future researches as internet consumerism expands. This paper will examine the following research questions: (1) How do factors previously researched affect the online purchasing behavior of consumers and (2) what are the significant consumer behaviors both positive and negative that affect internet consumerism? By identifying these factors and variables, new strategies can be formulated and both consumer and supplier can gain knowledge and understanding of behaviors which exist. The purpose of this research paper is to integrate the varied research information together and draw coherent linkages to how consumer thoughts, attitudes and motivational behavior affect online buying, thus building a broader framework of analysis in which to build upon.

External and Internal Analysis 8 External and Internal Environmental Analysis STR/581 Professor Alfonso Rodriguez July 30, 2014 Sheila Medina Introduction Coffee has become an integral part of the lives of numerous people. In 1971, Starbucks coffee opened its first coffee shop in the Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington. Now, according to research “Starbucks Corporation is the leading retailer, roaster and brand of specialty coffee in the world, with more than 6,000 retail locations in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and the Pacific Rim” (www.investor.starbucks.com). Starbucks aims to be the consumer’s favorite coffee shop and to achieve this the company focused on customer satisfaction as well as company advancement. Therefore, it is important to act based on what is written in Starbucks mission, value and vision statement, “To inspire and nurture the human spirit-one person, one cup, and one neighborhood at a time” (www.starbucks.com). A review of Starbucks financial reports has identified an increase in revenue over the past few years. However, this increase in revenue doesn’t account for the increase in profits. The profit increase is not as high as it could be due to external factors such as other coffee shops and the increase in amount of competition. This report aims to identify the different internal and external environment factors attributing to the changes in Starbucks external environment by utilizing several different analyses. SWOT Analysis Strengths Starbucks possesses several main strengths including their high visibility being located in high traffic areas, quality of service and products and their established brand loyalty. Starbucks remains an established leader being the number one known coffee house in the world while possessing a competent workforce, providing quality service, and continuing financial soundness. They also are known for their strong internal and external relationships with their suppliers. Weakness Weaknesses that Starbucks must address include: Product affordability and pricing, coffee beans price is the major influence over the firms profits, maintaining the positive public opinion of their products, avoiding any negative publicity, and remaining connected to their customers. Starbucks must also consider the fact they have expanded domestically and internationally resulting in saturation of the markets. They are also a non-smoking facility alienating some customers from purchasing coffee or other products from their store. Opportunities Opportunities include the ability for Starbucks to enter into different and new markets, partnership opportunities with businesses, growing acceptance and customer satisfaction, and increase different product offerings. Starbucks must strive to continue expanding their products and food service to remain competitive and reach other consumers. Another option would be for Starbucks to allow consumers to order t ...

Exploring Music Concert Paper Guidelines Instructions 1) Choose. Pick a classical music concert from the list provided on Blackboard. Sign up and buy tickets. 2) Research. Using reputable sources, learn about the composers and music featured at the concert. I recommend searching Google for program notes from major orchestras. 3) Write. Write a typed, double-spaced, 2 -3 page research paper, including properly formatted citations using APA, MLA, or Chicago style. This must be done before you attend the concert. 4) Cite. Cite your sources using in-text citations. Include a works cited list with full citations using MLA, APA, or Chicago. If you don’t know how to do this, read this. 5) Submit. Turn in your research paper under the “concerts” tab in Blackboard 2 days before the concert date. It will be checked for plagiarism. 6) Go. Plan ahead. Dress appropriately. Get to your concert on time. If you’re late, you might not get in. 7) Listen. Use active listening during the concert. (See “at the concert” below.) 8) Smile. Take a selfie or have someone take a picture of you that clearly shows that you were at the concert. In the lobby during intermission is a good time for this! Save your ticket and program. 9) Interview. Talk to someone at the concert. Ask them why they came and what they thought. 10) Write. Add a “part two” to your research paper. This second part should be a typed, double-spaced, 2-3 page reaction paper to your concert. Talk about what you thought, show off your active listening skills, and include the results of your interview. 11) Add. Add your concert picture to the last page of your paper. If you don’t have this, I can’t accept the paper for credit. Staple your ticket to your paper. 12) Submit. Turn in a hard copy of your complete paper (research part AND reaction part with picture and ticket) in class on or before the due dates indicated. At The Concert: Active Listening Choose one piece from your concert to analyze. Identify the meter, texture, and two other musical elements. Reflect on the music. What emotions do you get from that piece? Does it spark anything in your imagination? Does it remind you of anything? What is it about the music that creates those feelings and ideas? Interview a fellow attendee after the show or during intermission. Ask why they came and what they thought. WARNING DO NOT OVER-USE DIRECT QUOTATIONS. If your paper has more than 50 words that are directly quoted, I will return the paper to you, ungraded. Quotes can be useful, but you have to know when and how to use them! Blend your quotes within your narrative. Paraphrase when appropriate. Read this. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE. All sources, even if they are only alluded to or paraphrased, must be cited. http://guides.temple.edu/c.php?g=77953&p=528593 http://www.temple.edu/writingctr/support-for-writers/documents/BecominganEffectiveWriterinCollege.pdf http://www.bibme. ...

Expo 12 Discussion Questions Think about the cooperative learning lesson plan you have developed for studying Crystal Growing and the Rock Cycle. What problems do you envision occurring? Select the most problematic issue and elaborate on it on the discussion board. Module 5 Activity Consider the lab you have just completed, Experiment 12, and the processes you went through. Now, assume this experiment were to be conducted in your classroom in groups of four. Create an age appropriate lesson plan in which you conduct this experiment using cooperative learning, while still maintaining the integrity of the 5E Model. Submit your lesson plan as a word document. Hands-On Labs SM-1 Lab Manual 91 EXPERIMENT 12: Crystal Growing and the Rock Cycle Note: Part One of this lab should be performed at least 10 days before your report due date. Read the entire experiment and organize time, materials, and work space before beginning. Remember to review the safety sections and wear goggles when appropriate. Objectives: To grow synthetic crystals from a supersaturated solution by evaporation, To measure the interfacial angles of minerals, To make sugar “glass,” To understand the role of evaporation in mineral growth, and To determine the dissolution point of certain crystals. Materials: Student Provides: Pan, small Spoon or blunt knife Cup saucer Stovetop burner Refrigerator 50 g sugar From LabPaq: Tweezers Protractor Ruler Magnifying hand lens Digital scale 100-mL Beaker 3 Petri dishes, large Thermometer Set of 18 numbered minerals Igneous rock sample #19 Sedimentary rock sample #36 Metamorphic rock sample #47 Epsom salt: Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate, MgSO4 · 7H2O Alum: Aluminum Potassium Sulfate Dodecahydrate, KAI(SO4) 2 · 12 H2O Discussion and Review: The textbook definition of a mineral is “a homogeneous, naturally occurring, solid substance with a definable chemical composition and an internal structure characterized by an orderly arrangement of atoms in a crystalline structure” (from Earth; Portrait of a Planet; Stephen Marshak (Norton, 2005). A crystal grown in a lab is not a true mineral since it did not form by geologic processes. However, crystals grown in a lab are virtually identical to true minerals in many other Hands-On Labs SM-1 Lab Manual 92 aspects: they are solid, inorganic, homogeneous, and have a definite chemical composition and an ordered structure. By growing crystals in a laboratory setting you will be able to investigate the different properties that define a mineral. In addition, growing synthetic minerals can offer insight into the factors that affect the crystal growing process in a true geologic setting. By “watching” your crystals grow, you’ll be able to better understand how crystal faces develop in rocks and what influences them, plus you won’t ...

Explanation: Master Honey is a franchise-style company that sells a variety of products derived from raw honey harvested from both local and international bee-farms, called apiaries. Our company was established in 1988 by its founder, Sergio Saladrigas, back when honey was a booming industry, and its business was conducted based on quality rather than quantity. With this philosophy in mind, Master Honey has created a culture of good quality work with competitive pricing. Since its creation, Master Honey has had a successful expansion throughout most of Central and South-Florida in the form of two different types of establishments for retail selling that have made the brand differentiate itself from the competition: For rather big retail space, Master Honey developed a trademarked concept for a retail-store called “Honey Caves”. Usually placed in malls and around touristic areas, Honey Caves are stores of 1,000-1,500 squared feet that offer the whole catalog of Mater Honey’s products. The product catalog includes: Products Types Large size Medium size Small size Artisanal honey: Local Honey: Tupelo 9$ 5$ 3$ Orange blossom 8$ 4$ 2$ Red Pepper 7$ 4$ 2$ Golden Berry 7$ 4$ 2$ Wildflower 6$ 3$ 2$ International Honey: Blue Gum 11$ 6$ 4$ Beech Wood 10$ 5$ 3$ Acai 12$ 8$ 5$ Acacia 12$ 8$ 5$ Manuka 11$ 6$ 4$ Honey Blends for: Tea, Chees or BBQ 12$ 8$ 5$ Soaps for: Face (anti-acne) - 10$ 6$ Body 9$ 5$ - Hands - 9$ 5$ Lotions: Face (anti-age) - 15$ 10$ Body - 10$ 7$ Other Products: Shampoo 15$ 11$ 7$ Conditioner 15$ 11$ 7$ The honey caves have a specific and trademarked design that makes customers feel “like a bee in a hive”. The temperature is set at a low 72 degrees Fahrenheit with low light, and with a constant and subtle bee sound. In addition, the shelves are designed to look like a hive, with a series of hexagonally shaped boxes that designed to be piled together. This gives the shop managers freedom to change the setting of the store with ease and freedom of choice. Furthermore, the stores offer samples from all of our different products so the customers can see, feel, smell and taste the quality that differentiates our product. Also, every single one of our franchised Honey Caves has a large table in the middle of the store in a hexagonal shape displaying many large and artisanal-looking bottles that carry all of the honey types that we offer (that way, if a certain type of honey is not in store, it can still be shipped). The first bottle on each line contains a pump from which the customer can serve previously measured quantities in a small sample cup, and taste the differences in flavor and texture among all honeys from different flowers. The same technique is used with our soaps by providing 3 to 7 sinks for our customers to try the soaps, and realize its unique smell and smoothness. This type of store look like: For the smaller stores, of about 600-800 squared feet, Master Honey has created another trademarked store des ...

Exploring Music Extra Credit #2 Due November 6 in class In Germany, the 19th century was known as the “Age of Song”. For romantic composers, fusing literature with music represented artistic perfection. The Lied (pronounced “leet”) blended German poetry with piano collaboration. Lieder represent an intimate genre of music utilizing a solo singer partnered with piano. In most cases, the piano acts as more than mere accompaniment as it is able to musically enhance the text, depict moods and atmospheres, and in some cases represent a character in the poem. For this assignment you will choose any threeLieder and write a 2-3 page paper (double spaced, 12 point font with 1 inch margins) based on the following guidelines to include in your paper: 1. Read the translation of the poetry and establish your own interpretation. Are there any words or phrases that lend themselves to musical depiction? If you were the composer how might you musically depict words or phrases or the mood/ atmosphere of the piece using only one singer and a piano? 2. Listen to the Lied and follow along with the translation. How does you analysis from Question 1 differ or parallel the composer’s interpretation? 3. Pay particular attention to the relationship between the voice, text, and piano keeping in mind the piano offers more than just harmonic support. Provide examples of how the piano enhances the text, creates a mood or atmosphere, or depicts a character from the poem. 4. Does the musical and vocal setting suit the poetry? Explain. 5. Is the setting strophic or through-composed? How does this affect the Lied? Below are YouTube links to each Lied. Translations of the text are available in the Extra Credit no. 2 folder; print them out for your convenience if you wish. 1.

Explanations / 6.1 Qualities of Explanations Questions: 0 of 3 complete (0%) | 0 of 2 correct (0%) Qualities of Explanations An explanation is a statement that provides a reason for why or how something became the way it is. Arguments present a conclusion that's presumably new to you and then support this conclusion with evidence that you're likely to believe. Explanations work the other way around: they start with a conclusion that you likely believe (e.g., the sky is blue) and then offer an explanation for why that is so (e.g., because God is a UNC fan). We will be looking specifically at causal explanations—that is, explanations in which you suggest that a particular physical or behavioral phenomenon is the result of another event. Situation Explanation Traffic on a Saturday There must be a football game today. Most explanations start as theories. It can be challenging to fight the human impulse to pick the first theory that comes to mind and stop there, but what are the odds that the first thing you conceive of is in fact the best possible explanation? Situation Explanation Traffic on a Saturday Perhaps there's a concert today? Maybe an art festival? Or possibly an accident up ahead? With a little imagination, you can come up with a seemingly unlimited number of theories, but at some point you've likely exhausted all the plausible explanations. Situation Explanation Traffic on a Saturday Perhaps a new IKEA has been built without my hearing anything about it, and all these people are headed to the grand opening. As with all critical thinking, you'll need some judgment here. Discard the implausible theories (at least initially) and give fair consideration to all the reasonable ones: · State your theory clearly (make a hypothesis). · Consider possible alternatives. · Look at the evidence. · Evaluate the theory. Sometimes the facts make the explanation quite clear: I can see a train moving through an intersection several hundred yards ahead. That explains why traffic isn't moving. Other times, you'll need to employ inductive reasoning to establish the most likely cause: I can't see the tracks from here, but I drive through here every Saturday morning and usually a train was responsible for traffic being stalled. So it's probably a train. We are presented with many such explanations on a daily basis. Why is this webpage not loading?Why are sales down for last quarter?Why is my spouse not speaking to me? As you consider potential explanations, keep the following standards in mind. Consistency First, is it internally consistent or does it contradict itself? Second, is it externally consistent? Could this explanation effectively and fully account for whatever it's supposed to explain? A good theory should be compatible with what we already know about how the world works. This is a problem with many paranormal theories—they go against accepted scientific fact. If the theory contradicts established knowledge, the burden of proof is on the new t ...

Experts Presentation Student PSY 496 Instructor Overview of professionals Maria Theresa Redaniel, Ph.D. Suicide prevention specialist who’s main focus is finding ways to prevent suicide cases within local communities. She is looking to branch out from the community sector to further her expertise on a federal and state vocation. Received her master’s from the University of Nebraska in Community Development. Michael Bauer, M.D., Ph.D. Mental health profession with interest in suicide risk assessments, homicide and product liability especially in relation to psychotropic drugs. He has extensive background in the field and wishes to further his resume by succeeding as a mentor to upcoming peers in the field. Graduated top of his class from the University of Illinois 1965. Suicide and prevention Effective protective care is essential to suicide prevention. If you are in crisis, call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the united states (AFSP, 2014). And the third leading cause among youth and young adults (Wharff, Ross, & Lambert, 2014) Research shows 90% of those who have died by suicide had a potentially treatable mental illness (AFSP, 2014). Prevention starts with awareness and education. Risk Factors may include mental disorder, previous attempts, family history, serious medical condition or pain. These factors combined with environmental stimuli increase chances of suicide and suicide attempts (Carlborg, Winnerback, Jonsson, Jokinen & Nordstrom, (2010). Research Maria’s focus has been in the community prevention. The barriers of suicide documentation in the Philippines has encouraged her research in using psychological autopsy’s to evaluate a course of intervention (AFSP, 2014). Psychological autopsies have been used to present evidence of mental disorders present in those who died from suicide based on a collection of interviews and reports to dictate what they may have thought (Hjelmeland, Dieserud, Dyregrov, Knizek & Leenaars, 2012). Michael has focused his research in the use of pharmacology in suicide prevention. Giving participants a prescribed amount of lithium has shown great strides in lowering future suicide attempts and depressive behaviors (ASFP, 2014). Comparison Maria has strong views in behavior aspect of study. She has culminated research of behaviors related to mental disorders and compared them to suicide reports made from informant interviews and medical documents. She uses such information to hopefully reduce the suicide rates in the community by early diagnosis and treatment prevention. Michael uses his successful career in clinical psychology to establish the benefits of treating mental disorders to prevent suicides and suicidal behaviors. He focuses his research to provide evidence of pharmacology on disorders. His goal it to use such evidence to reduce thoughts of suicide and attempts. References American Foun ...

Leader traits – the trait approach is the oldest leadership perspective and was dominant for several decades. The perspective is that some personality characteristics – many of which a person need not be born with but can strive to acquire distinguish effective leaders from other people. Drive, which refers to a set of characteristics that reflect a high level of effort. It includes high need for achievement, constant striving for improvement, ambition, energy, tenacity (persistence in the face of obstacles), and initiative. Leadership motivation – great leaders not only have drive, they want to lead. Integrity is the correspondence between actions and words. Honesty and credibility are especially important.

Explain how the Kluckhohn–Strodtbeck and the Hofstede framework can be used to analyze a culture. Are the Kluckhohn-Strodtbeck and Hofstede frameworks useful for understanding subcultures? Why or why not? If your international firm were doing business in Asia, is there anything that your company could do to ease the tensions these cultures are experiencing? Be specific. In your opinion, is globalization among the causes of the increasing incidence of divorce, crime, and drug abuse in Asia? Why or why not? Broadly defined, Asia comprises more than 60 percent of the world’s population— a population that practices Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, and numerous other religions. Thus, do you think it is possible to carry on a valid discussion of “ Asian” values? Why or why not? Consider the following statement: “ Economic development and capitalism require a certain style of doing business in the twenty- first century. The sooner Asian cultures adapt the better.” Do you agree or disagree? Explain. Cross-Cultural Business Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 2 * Welcome to Chapter 2, Cross-Cultural Business.

Exploring Innovation in Action: Power to the People – Lifeline Energy Trevor Baylis was quite a swimmer in his youth, representing Britain at the age of 15. So it wasn’t entirely surprising that he ended up working for a swimming pool firm in Surrey before setting up his own company. He continued his swimming passion – working as a part-time TV stuntman doing underwater feats – but also followed an interest in inventing things. One of the projects he began work on in 1991 was to have widespread impact despite – or rather because of – being a ‘low-tech’ solution to a massive problem. Having seen a documentary about AIDS in Africa he began to see the underlying need for something which could help communication. Much of the AIDS problem lies in the lack of awareness and knowledge across often isolated rural communities – people don’t know about causes or prevention of this devastating disease. And this reflects a deeper problem – of communication. Experts estimate that less than 20% of the world’s population have access to a telephone, while even fewer have a regular supply of electricity, much less television or Internet access. Very low literacy levels exclude most people from reading newspapers and other print media. Radio is an obvious solution to the problem – but how can radio work when the receivers need power and in many places mains electricity is simply non-existent. An alternative is battery power – but batteries are equally problematic – even if they were of good quality and freely available via village stores people couldn’t afford to buy them regularly. In countries where $1 a day is the standard wage, batteries can cost from a day’s to a week’s salary. The HIV/AIDS pandemic also means that household incomes are under increased pressure as earners become too ill to work while greater expenditure goes towards healthcare, leaving nothing for batteries. What was needed was a radio which ran on some different source of electricity. In thinking about the problem Baylis remembered the old-fashioned telephones of pre-war days which had wind-up handles to generate power. He began experimenting, linking together odd items such as a hand brace, an electric motor and a small radio. He found that the brace turning the motor would act as a generator that would supply sufficient electricity to power the radio. By adding a clockwork mechanism he found that a spring could be wound up – and as it unwound the radio would play. This first working prototype ran for 14 minutes on a two minute wind. Trevor had invented a clockwork (wind-up) radio! As a potential solution to the communication problem the idea had real merit. The trouble was that, like thousands of entrepreneurs before him, Trevor couldn’t convince others of this. He spent nearly four years approaching major radio manufacturers like Philips and Marconi but to no avail. But luck often plays a significant part in the innovation story – and this was no exception. The idea came to the attenti ...

Experiment 8 - Resistance and Ohm’s Law 8.1 Introduction In previous experiments, we have investigated electric charges largely under stationary conditions. These studies were useful in order to illustrate concepts such as the electric potential and the electric field, and forms the foundation needed to further our understanding of electricity and electrical circuits. In contrast to electrostatics (charges confined to be stationary), the field of electricity deals with the flow (induced movement) of electrical charges. Due to its many uses, most individuals knowingly or unknowingly have a daily reliance on electricity. It is especially essential, in: (1) the distribution of energy, and (2) the processing of information. To enable this, electricity must be handled in circuits, a closed loop of conducting wire connecting power plant with individual homes, and businesses. To appreciate this phenomena, it is useful to investigate various aspects of simple circuits and the various laws that may govern them. 8.2 Objective 1. To verify Ohm’s Law 2. To use Ohm’s law to determine the resistance of a light source. 8.3 Theory Our initial investigations will be guided by Ohm’s law, which postulates that the relationship between current flow I, potential difference V, and resistance R for certain materials will observe the following mathematical relationship, given a constant temperature constraint: …………. 1RV = I These materials are called Ohmic conductors, equation 1 implies that the ratio of voltage to current for these materials is constant. Manufactured resistors can be considered as such, but other components such as semiconductor diodes, filaments, and LEDs are non ohmic. In this experiment, we will verify Ohm’s law by assessing whether it holds for a set resistance (typical color coded resistor). Further, we will apply this to ascertain the resistance of a light source. 8.4 Apparatus Variable DC voltage source, color coded resistor, (2) multimeters, connecting wires, light source 8.5 Procedure Part A Verifying Ohm’s Law 1. You will be given a particular colour coded resistor from the set; use this and the other apparatus items to set up the circuit as shown in figure 1 below. Figure 1 2. Adjust DC voltage source so that a relatively small voltage reading is seen across the resistor R. Record this voltage reading, and the electrical current reading ...

Experimental Essay: The Dialectic The purpose of this paper is to experiment with a style of essay that you’ve probably never written before: The Dialectic. We’ll be testing Foucault’s idea about polemics in order to push ourselves to consider and explore multiple conflicting perspectives in a single paper. The basic premise is that you will write a series of thesis, antithesis arguments - point and counterpoint paragraphs. You will first argue a side of a discussion and then take up the opposing side, eloquently crafting a rigorous response to your own ideas. Your essay should explore the concepts we will be discussing in class, so if you’ve been doing the homework, you already have some arguments to work from. If you would like something more specific to work from, the Justice discussions and comments that your peers will be posting on course studio are a good start. In addition to this, you should also read through your notes from our class discussion about the predictions from the Constitutional Convention 1787. Can we make an argument that the poor indirectly sell their votes to the rich? Does the wealthiest class of America really dictate society? Do the poor impose upon the freedom and the property of the rich through voting? In what ways can private interests manipulate public opinions and widely held beliefs? Who is influencing whom? Who is responsible for the actions and behaviors of masses and of individuals? This dialectic should not look like the typical childhood debate: “YES. NO. YES. NO.” You should not simply state a side and then write the inverse. Instead, you should invent the most compelling defense for both sides. Where students misstep here is in the unfortunate habit of writing weak counterpoints - something “stupid” that’s easy to rip apart. Right? We’ve all done this in essays that require counterpoints. Why that doesn’t work for this essay is that it would essentially mean that HALF of your essay is intentionally “stupid”... This doesn’t make for a good college paper. Instead, you must argue both sides so well that the reader cannot tell which is actually your own position. To build this paper over the next two weeks, you should be exploring as many points (and counterpoints) as you can imagine in your homework assignments. In your final essay, I would like you to try to compile what you believe to be your best ideas. This paper cannot be a summary - you should not simply have a series of points restating and summarizing the arguments that you’ve pulled from the various texts. Instead, you should use what you think is interesting from the text as a way to launch into a discussion of your own brilliant ideas. Format: double-spaced, times new roman typeface, 12-point font, with 1 inchmargins. The paper must be 1000 - 1400 words in length. Peer Review Draft Due : May 27 Final Draft Due : May 29 via email by 11:54pm REFLECTION PIECE: You will also be writing a 300 word reflection on your writing. In this piece you sho ...
