And as result today the Central and Eastern European block and the Baltic States are knocking at the doors of European Union (IMF, 2000).

The centrally planned economies existed in Soviet Union. The problem in the central economies was its inability to generate wealth and raise the living standard. The production and distribution would come from central government, deciding for the states, what to produce and how to distribute in what quantities. The workforce was assumed to be fully employed and salary was predetermined, regardless of the potential of the worker (Greenspan, 1997).

In these economies there was no effective market clearing mechanism, the result was huge surplus of unwanted goods by population on one side and shortage of goods, which were in needed. This imbalance in demand and supply led to rationing the quota, as the quantity of the goods was limited. As production and planning was followed through state orders rather than by market demand, the finance had no control over the actions that were remotely planned by the center without following the market rules (Greenspan, 1997).

In such economies, there was nothing like credit, interest or market values, as every thing belonged to the state. Due to the lack of a developed financial system, these economies as a consequence wasted their resources as much as much five to seven times more than Western European economies, yet without any productive result, which led to the dismemberment of Soviet Union and the rest of Eastern Bloc in early 1990s (Greenspan, 1997).

The macroeconomic stabilization process after initial burst of high inflation stabilizes the inflation and allows the liberalization to take place, which keeps a tight control over the state budget and growth of money allowing the growth of progressive fiscal system to develop.

These economies had no financial

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Business Research proposal and Questionnaire. It needs to be at least 2500 words.

Companies usually use talent – movie actors, models, athletes or famous people for endorsement (Bergeström & Skärfstad, 2004). Not just the large firms, even smaller companies with limited budget use sports and athletes to promote their products. I will look into the benefits that companies derive from such endorsement.

A celebrity is defined as “an individual who is known to the public (i.e., actor, sports figure, entertainer, etc.) for his or her achievements in areas other than that of the product class endorsed” (cf., Friedman and Friedman 1979 cited by Kamins, Brand, Hoeke & Moe, 1989). Celebrities exert their influence on the consumers through perceived attributes such as expertise, trustworthiness, attractiveness, familiarity, and likeability and hence celebrity endorsement becomes more attractive when images or the characteristics of the celebrity match the endorsed product (Choi, Lee & Kim 2005).

The use of celebrities for product endorsement was on the rise in the late 1970s. While it was estimated that 15 percent of prime time television commercials featured celebrities in 1975, by 1978 it was reported to be over 20 percent (Kamins, Brand, Hoeke & Moe, 1989). On the other hand, according to a report published in Campaign (2007) a survey revealed that only 16 percent of the people would buy products that had celebrity endorsement. Since 2001 the number of television ads featuring celebrities has been steadily increasing as the budgets have tightened and researchers not sure to what extent celebrities make a difference to the sales.

Marketing Week (2006) suggests that when celebrities are used to endorse a product, people quickly forget the product that has been endorsed and the celebrity becomes the focus of attention while ECM (2007) suggests celebrity trend is already weakening in the US. Cross-cultural studies also suggest that celebrities with worldwide recognition in advertising is an effective means of

The economic factors in the business external business are hard to predict, for instance, the global recession has affected many businesses, making them look for various cost-saving and waste reduction approaches. While some businesses focus on ways to reduce their expenses and increase their, efficiencies, there are those that resolve to outsource functions in order to cut down on their costs. Businesses that effectively manage their external environment effectively end up becoming market leaders, with increased rates of turnover and profitability.

There are different types of market structures that exist in an economy, these structures are determined by the types of products being sold, the number of buyers and sellers and their knowledge of the market among other factors.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Business Policy. It needs to be at least 7000 words.

According to the International Air Transport Association, the industry lost up to $8 billion in 2008 which is even greater than what was forecasted previously. The report uses a PESTEL analysis (See PESTEL Analysis: Appendix D) to scan the external environmental structure of the company. The business cycle of British Airways includes several parameters. This is due to the fact that airline industry is characterized by longer business cycle resulting from the lower profitability and for the lower shareholder returns. (Liehr, Nd, page 1). The marketing environment is constantly changing and with every change in the last few years airlines industry is being affected. The demand for the airline industry is highly income elastic. (“An analysis of British Airways Marketing Environment”, 2008) Thus the rise in the fuel prices last year and recent economic turmoil has affected the airlines industry in huge way as the passengers are avoiding more expensive air travels. According to a report by Air Transport association of America, the revenue generated from passenger travels for all airlines fell by 19 % during the month of February, 2009 when compared to February 2008. This is the forth consecutive month where loss is being recorded. The business sector, hit badly by the economic crisis are cutting back on their airline trips. British airways having ten flights operating daily between London and New York is among the worst hit. (“Lucrative Business class air travel hit by crisis”, 2009) The company saw a decline in 8.6 percent in premium traffic and 4.1 percent in non premium. (“Lucrative Business class air travel hit by crisis”, 2009)&nbsp. Also there are other factors which are directly affecting the industry. The events like terrorist attacks in the recent past closely linked with the airplanes may be considered as an external factor affecting air traveling. This assumption is based on the fact that these events lead to the introduction of strict security norms and regulation from the EU and US, affecting from summer 2006 resulting in a fall of customer traveling confidence.(“An analysis of British Airways Marketing Environment”, 2008). The intervention of Government rules and regulation were present in the areas of controlling the place of flight, the pricing policy etc. Also there are restrictions in the number and types of baggage that they carry, which ultimately is becoming the restriction on the part of the customers.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Business Ethics : Fraud of the century. It needs to be at least 1000 words.

Download file to see previous pages…

Ethics and values are the very foundations on which businesses survive. Organisations that follow ethical business practices have more chances of getting benefitted in the long run. History is abounded by the cases of unethical businesses failing like pack-of-cards. Many call business ethics a subjective issue leaving a space for varying conduct and interpretation by business managers. Business owner or employer needs to identify those ethical conflicts in the particular business setting and resolve them for the benefit of business and company itself and should be aimed at reinforcing those values across the company workforce to create healthy work environment.

Businesses face many ethical challenges in the 21st century. In the following paragraphs, an attempt is made to outline key Ethical challenges facing businesses and the steps that are necessary to stem the root.

Misguiding Product Information and Unethical Advertising

Profit is an aim of all organisations but when means become unethical to achieve the objective than it becomes a concern for all. Product and quality ethics are important in business. Consumer buys particular product reading details written on its package regarding weight, ingredients, manufacturing, expiry date and many other details and trust them fully. Manufacturers often write on packaging ‘no artificial ingredients’ and this has become a common cliché to convey buyers that the company cares for consumer health. ‘No artificial ingredients’ means that the product contain all natural ingredients. however, on scrutiny it has been found that product is prepared using hydrogenated vegetable oil. Hydrogenation is an artificial process done at high temperature using nickel, a metal catalyst, altering the nature of vegetable oil. The altered product is known as trans fats that is a major contributory factor behind spread of cardiovascular disease. Consumers buy the product in good faith. Such practice is surely an unethical behaviour on part of companies. Similarly, deceptive advertising along with misinformation is also a part of unethical behavior (Hogg, 2011). Violation of State Laws Asking employees to do unethical acts in the violation of state or moral laws is certain an unethical activity. For example, child labour is unethical and many companies use them to save on their costs. This is also an example of immoral act (BBC, 2010). Accounting Manipulation and Fraud Financial fudging and accounting manipulations are quite infamous to over or under report operating income causing huge losses to shareholders. The WorldCom case is well known in this respect. The company reported its line cost by capitalizing it over many years and thus reported profits misguiding its investors and creditors. Finally, the company became bankrupt causing huge loss to the investors and creditors (Romar and Calkins 2006). A famous case of Enron is worth mentioning here that began with many unethical practices including account fudging to misguide the gullible investors. Eventually, the company failed registering bankruptcy under chapter 11 (Ackman, 2001). Unequal Remuneration and Lack of Transparency Unequal remuneration based on gender or racial consideration is another area where companies behave unethically. Lack of transparency in company policies and discriminating behaviour may cause conflict across all levels and stunts the growth of organization. Creating Ethical Culture Creating ethical behaviour is a need of the 21st century for the healthy growth and progress of the company. That is the only way company can sustain its operations and survive in the long run. The unethical behaviour is noticed by all including investors, customers, creditors and employees themselves and it creates a detrimental effect on the functioning and operations of the company. Code of Ethics In order to enforce ethical behaviour, companies must have a code of ethics to create an ethical culture within organisation.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Business ethic case. It needs to be at least 500 words.

Counselors have a responsibility to help mitigate the damage done by racism in the workplace. Companies have a responsibility to act justly toward their employees and shareholders. Government has a responsibility to protect the liberty of its citizens. Minorities have a responsibility to speak out against such oppression wherever possible. The majority has a responsibility to protect the weak. Employees have a responsibility to their employers and co-workers to maintain an egalitarian work ethic. Ultimately, the primary stakeholders are individual families, the only stakeholders who are secondary victims of a racist corporate culture.

Consider the roots of workplace racism proactively. What causes racism in the workplace? It could be a matter of resources. There may not be enough jobs to go around and people want those of their own race to benefit over others, or it could be a matter of personal intent. People tend to express aggression toward those they see as somehow inferior either physically, mentally or socially. Usually, this tends to be a matter of self-esteem. What understanding must people have to avoid workplace racism? The basic belief everyone must adopt in order to avoid racially charged conflict at work is simple. We must understand that although we may not all look, think, and act alike, everyone has the right to live and survive peaceably within our society. That means although I may not like a person for whatever reason, I should give them the room they need to provide for themselves and their families. If there is no other reason I feel this way, it should be because I wish for the same. If others feel hostile toward me, I want them to leave me alone enough to feel secure in my job and at home at the very least.

Some thinkers have posited this notion as the basis for the social contract. Why do humans not simply overrun one another with force and

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Business Environment and the Analysis of the Financial Health of Bank of America Corporation. It needs to be at least 2500 words.

The study discusses the impact of globalization on the business strategies of Bank of America Corporation (BAC). The Bank of America Corporation is a Delaware Corporation in addition to being a ‘bank holding company’ as well as a financial holding company. It is headquartered in Charlotte in North California. BAC provides a varying array of banking as well as nonbanking financial products and services all over the United States in addition to certain overseas markets, through their banking and nonbanking subsidiaries. BAC functions in six business divisions, namely, Deposits, Global Commercial Banking, Global Card Services, Global Banking & Markets, Home Loans & Insurance, and Global Wealth & Investment Management. As of December 2010, BAC operates in all the states of the United States of America and 40 other countries across the world. BAC caters around 80% of the population of the United States through their retail banking segment. The business environment and the markets in which the BAC carries out its business are dynamically influenced by the developments in the economies of the US and other countries. In the year 2010, the worldwide economy continued to recuperate, though the growth was not even across the various regions. The US, the UK, and Europe showed modest growth, while the countries like China, Brazil, and India demonstrated rapid expansion. The US economy started to improve at the beginning of 2010 as a result of reasonable development in consumption level as well as inventory rebuilding in the nation. However, the growth slowed down in the mid of 2010 as a result of the escalation of the financial calamity in Europe. Nevertheless, notwithstanding the modest economic augmentation in 2010, BAC generated free cash flows worth $1.5 trillion from their nonfinancial businesses as a result of their vigilant financial practices in the business. Furthermore, the credit quality of bank loans improved considerably in the year 2010 and the continuous economic revival enhanced the atmosphere for bank lending. Since the latter part of 2010, bank commercial as well as industrial loans amplified, illustrating augmented loan demand as a result of stronger production and capital spending in addition to inventory building.
