Marketing is the activity or process set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.
National income accounting provides us with ex-post data about national income, it cannot explain the level and determinants of national income. The following identities are true for any level of income. In order to explain and predict the level of national income, models are constructed.
Economics is the branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and transfer of wealth.
It is the study of how scarce resources are allocated to fulfill the infinite wants of consumers.
What do we need to do to win the battle on talent?
Applicant tracking systems, an employee onboarding software, performance management are all part of the greater talent management framework. The right talent management strategy aligns these functions to give organizations a strategic advantage.

An organization invests its time, money and energy in training a new employee and thus it is a big blow when he/she quits all of a sudden. The best way to promote workplace ethics is to be very specific and careful while recruiting potential employees who would be representing the top levels especially the human resource department. Conflict is everywhere. We can’t avoid conflict. We can be managing conflict through bonding, dialogue, mediation, arbitration, and negotiation.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in domestic animals in District Ban...Open Access Research Paper
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular zoonotic protozoan parasite, infect both humans and animals population worldwide. It can also cause abortion and inborn disease in humans and livestock population. In the present study total of 313 domestic animals were screened for Toxoplasma gondii infection. Of which 45 cows, 55 buffalos, 68 goats, 60 sheep and 85 shaver chicken were tested. Among these 40 (88.88%) cows were negative and 05 (11.12%) were positive. Similarly 55 (92.72%) buffalos were negative and 04 (07.28%) were positive. In goats 68 (98.52%) were negative and 01 (01.48%) was recorded positive. In sheep and shaver chicken the infection were not recorded.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

for another company to enter the
industry?

21. How Organizations Adapt to Their Environments
Each organization must asses its own
unique situation then adapt according to
the good judgment of senior
management, for example:
Information systems.
Strategic responses.
Mergers, acquisitions, and alliances.
Organizational design and flexibility.
Direct influence of the environment.
22. Environmental Threat and Opportunity Profile
An environmental threat and
opportunity profile is a description of
the structure of external factors.
Multiple Reasons for an ETOP
1. It helps the organization to identify
opportunities and threats
2. Consolidates and strengthens an
organization’s position
3. Provides strategists information on
which sectors have a favorable
impact on the organization
4. The organization gains knowledge
of its standing with respect to its
environment
5. Helps formulate strategies.
23. Steps in an ETOP
Identify major Environmental factors such
as: economic, political, social, technological,
competitive, geographical, etc.
Environmental factors are then sub-divided
into subsectors of each factor.
These factors are then analyzed to
determine major weaknesses and strengths
in each of the subsectors.
The impact of each factor is then accessed
as being either favorable, unfavorable, or
neutral.
