Groupon's business model involves offering daily deals or "groupons" for goods and services provided by local businesses. Merchants pay Groupon a commission (around 50%) for promoting their deals to Groupon's email subscribers. This provides marketing benefits to merchants without upfront costs. While it generates buzz and discounts for customers, critics argue it relies on short-term price sensitivity rather than building long-term customer loyalty. Groupon faces competition from other daily deal sites that may adapt the group buying model in different ways such as localized sales teams.

The document discusses how climate change affects different parts of the world. It provides information on the impacts in Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Peru, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In Bangladesh, climate change is causing worse monsoon rains and flooding that destroys crops, forcing people to move homes multiple times. In Zimbabwe, droughts make surviving difficult for people, crops, and animals by baking the ground hard and preventing water capture. In Peru, less predictable weather is challenging for farming with rains, droughts, and melting snow affecting crops and livestock. The UK experiences heavy rains and flooding, while the US faced devastating hurricanes like Katrina, which scientists link to rising sea levels and stronger storms from global warming.

It shows that switching to a different bun reduces calories by 120, fat by 3g, and carbohydrates by 18g. A new cheese option saves 35 calories, 5g of fat, and has 1g fewer carbohydrates. Combining these changes results in a new burger with 175 fewer calories, 8g less fat, and 18g fewer carbohydrates than the original best seller.

The document describes an experiment to demonstrate how the Earth's atmosphere acts as a blanket to trap heat. Students place thermometers in two glass jars, one with a clear plastic lid and one without. They shine a light on the jars and record the temperatures. The jar with the lid has a higher temperature, showing that the lid traps heat like the atmosphere traps heat from the sun. This experiment illustrates how the atmosphere works as a blanket to keep the Earth warm.
Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, with 120 million people living in an area smaller than a small US state. It has low elevation, with 90% of the land less than 30 feet above sea level, making it prone to severe and frequent flooding from monsoons and typhoons. However, the annual flooding also fertilizes the soil, allowing the country to produce rich crops throughout the year without expensive fertilizer.
This document discusses a music notation software that allows users to create, edit, and print musical scores of all styles while also allowing playback of created scores. It acts as both an educational tool and support for teachers and students.

Web analytics and data analysis are becoming far more important to business. These tools
and analysis allow you to judge on the performance of the business and at the same time
can help in forecasting. If well integrated web analytics and data analysis can provide
good recommendations and insights for the decision makers, and can also allow
immediate changes on the website (adding, removing, editing pages and/or content), and
again can help in improving media planning (and ad spend), and these kind of analysis
definitely help in the process of business optimization.
This is a practical empirical research rather than a theory based research. All the work is

Entrepreneurs discover market needs and launch businesses to meet those needs, taking risks and driving innovation. Small businesses are defined by employee count, sales, and assets, though definitions are arbitrary. Successful entrepreneurs are committed, take leadership roles, seek opportunities, tolerate risk and uncertainty, are creative and adaptable, and are motivated to exceed goals. Integrity is essential for entrepreneurial success by creating value for customers and avoiding distortions from excessive financial focus. The right small business considers individual strengths and the type of business. Franchises provide training, financial assistance, and proven methods but with fees and restrictions.

Export marketing for attractions industryRuby Colasco
This document provides guidance on export marketing in the attractions industry. It discusses identifying target audiences by understanding their cultural references and needs. A SWOT analysis is recommended to understand strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in foreign markets. Communication should align with company values and involve personalized social media. Regulations and standards like customs duties vary by location and must be understood. Developing strong distribution networks through dealers and referrals is key to a stable export business. Periodic reviews of strategy are important to ensure objectives are being met.
Regent University of Science & Technology held a meeting with Daniel Adjei to discuss brand guidelines, the creative brief, and measuring advertising effectiveness. The brand guide establishes elements like colors, fonts, tones and imagery to ensure consistency across communications. The creative brief provides key information to guide creative development, including objectives, target audience, brand positioning, and mandatory inclusions. Measuring effectiveness is important, and can be done through metrics like return on investment which evaluates cost against sales revenue from an campaign.
The document provides guidance on how to write an effective marketing plan in 3 stages:
1) Research and planning to understand customers and opportunities.
2) Developing objectives and strategies to exploit opportunities identified in stage 1.
3) Determining actions, measurements, and controls to implement strategies and track success.
The plan should be a written document that provides direction and is referred to throughout the year.
Global brands face the challenge of appealing to consumers across diverse markets while maintaining a consistent brand identity. To be successful, companies need a comprehensive branding strategy that considers both global and local needs.

4. This growth has been mainly
driven by the BRIC countries,
most notably China, where
luxury Brands have been
heavily investing to expand
their retail presence.
5.
6. SLOW
DOWN
After years of continuous growth the first
signs of slow down have arisen along with
a potential move away from this aggressive
expansion.
7. Several data has proven that
consumer spending on luxury
apparel has in fact started to
decrease as of 2012.
8. The reasons behind this slow
down are multiple,
however the following are the
ones which I believe have played a
key role:
11. LEGISLATION CONSTRAINTS:
• limitations in foreign direct investments
• brands forced to open with local partners
which results in lack of consumer education
and low brand awareness
12. SHIFT IN CONSUMER TASTE:
• consumers craving brands they can afford
and opt to ‘mix-and-match’ high street items
with luxury accessories
13. ON LINE EXPANSION:
• price comparability and
full transparency
• on-line purchase which in
some cases has enabled
consumers to avoid paying
local taxes
14. Although the slow down of the luxury retail
business is not dramatic, there is now a need
for those managing the companies to sit
down and carefully elaborate the next steps
in terms of investments and opportunities.
This is key for this industry to keep
sustaining growth at the pace which it has
been used to throughout the past years.
15.
16. I consider luxury retail
expansion as a territory
where opportunities can
be created and where
the challenge is to be
capable to play an
entrepreneurial role
within a wider
company, identifying
solutions which have not
been considered by
others.
17. With this in mind
3 are the objectives I
would like to pursue
in this industry within
the medium term:
18. Play an active role in a business, taking
decisions on:
• how to further expand in new emerging
markets by analysing the risks and
opportunities faced
• how to continue to grow in existing
markets by evaluating new ways of
attracting consumers
19. Follow each operation throughout:
• initial business assessments
• plans’ implementation and analysis
• share and reapply learning
20. Be recognized as an expert in this
segment and have a chance to be re-
integrated back into a family business
which has been sold to a big luxury group
around ten years ago.
21. My hope is therefore that through
undertaking an MBA I will be able
to continue to build on my
knowledge and passion for the
luxury business whilst
familiarizing with all the tools
needed to succeed in the retail
expansion industry.
