Muscular De Duchenne E Uma Doenca
A Distrofia Muscular de Duchenne é uma doença hereditária, caracterizada por uma degeneração
muscular progressiva, causando fraqueza (Emery, 1993). Por ser uma condição recessiva ligada ao
cromossomo "X", a DMD afeta predominantemente meninos, e estudos recentes reportam que sua
incidência geral corresponde a 1:4087 (Mendell at al., 2012).
Esta distrofia está relacionada à ausência da proteína distrofina em diversos tecidos, a qual
corresponde a cerca de 0.002% da massa proteica da célula muscular estriada. Com o
desenvolvimento da DMD, a ausência e/ou disfunção desta proteína resulta em necrose e
comprometimento da capacidade de regeneração da fibra muscular (Chargé & Rudnick 2004).
Mutações espontâneas do gene da distrofina têm sido observadas em animais, tornando–os modelos
experimentais para DMD. Camundongos são frequentemente utilizados como modelo para a
doença, incluindo animais com mutação espontânea ou modelos knockout, ainda que ambos
apresentem um fenótipo menos severo do que o humano (Berg et al., 2011; Sicinski et al., 1989;
Itagaki et al., 1995; Grady et al., 1997).
Como o gene da distrofina é conservado em relação ao seu tamanho e função em mamíferos, as
distrofinopatias derivadas de mutações espontâneas em animais como cães e gatos foram relatadas,
demonstrando a similaridade genética da doença entre humanos e principalmente cães (Kornegay et
al., 1988). Nestes animais, a distrofia tem sido registrada com maior incidência em cães da raça

Value Chain Analysis Of Corona Extra
Introduced in 1925 by Grupo Modelo, Corona Extra has become one of the most successful beers in
the world positioned as the 5th best selling beer in the world and in the top 10 imported beers in US,

Marketing
Grupo Modelo global marketing challenges relay on being able to promote Corona Extra beer,
which it's a product that doesn't vary between countries it always stays the same, marketing the
product across borders means that the image should be clear enough so everyone can understand
what it's the product about, part of the solution has been the Mexican cultural heritage that helps
positioning the beer in the consumer mind.

Abstract
This case analysis presents a synopsis of Corona Beer (Modelo) current strategy and its position
within the competitive beer industry. The key question being addressed is whether Modelo would be
able to maintain its status as one of the market leaders in beer production and distribution as
competition in the industry increases. This paper presents an analysis of the trends within the global
beer market, analysis of the foreign market of Modelo, competitor analysis, and by identifying the
strategic challenges being faced and various options and recommendations to address them.

In order operations in the United States, Modelo set up Procermex Inc. a subsidiary whose purpose
was to coordinate, support, and supervise the two distributors. The strength of the relationship
between the importer and Modelo was very strong as taxes increased in 1991. To further expand
internationally, I would encourage Grupo Modelo to continue its model of contracting with a
distributor in the target region. This strategy has benefited the company because the local
distributors are able to brand the beers to their local market needs. I believe that China and Australia
are two markets that have great potential for demand of Grupo Modelo 's beers. China recently
surpassed the U.S. in total beer consumption. There is a huge population that is potential for
demand. Australia already has high per–capita consumption of beer, so it might be an easy market to
enter especially considering the match of brand image of Corona to the typical image of Australian
beaches.
Identify and discuss the next foreign market that Modelo should enter and with what strategy. In the
current environment, the biggest challenge for Grupo Modelo is to sustain its growth and maximize
the return to shareholders by following business expansion strategy in order to retain market
leadership position in both domestic (Mexican) and International market especially in United States.

For mainstream beer consumers, particularly in emerging markets, the most common trade–up
proposition is to attractive, local, premium brands.
In markets such as North America and Western Europe, premium beer's share of total sales is
already well above the global average. On the other hand, premium's share of 10.1% in Central and
South Africa and 3.0% in Africa shows the significant opportunity that still exists for premium beer
sales in these regions. There is sizeable potential in Colombia and Brazil where premium beers
respectively claim 3.7% and 5.6% of total sales (Karrenbrock, 1990).
The trend towards premium beer consumption has slowed somewhat in the recent economic
downturn; however, down–trading is limited and there are notable instances of consumers
continuing to trade up, both into beer and, within the category, into premium products. Over the past
decade, the beer industry has seen significant consolidation and this trend continued during 2008.
On a pro forma basis, beer sales by the top 10 players now total approximately 65% of total global
sales compared to less than 40% at the start of the century. In recent major developments, the
division of Scottish and Newcastle's business between Carlsberg and Heineken was completed

Ensayo – Comportamiento del consumidor
Para hacer un plan de Mercadeo generalmente se hace un estudio del comportamiento del
consumidor y de la segmentación de mercados. En un estudio del comportamiento del consumidor,
además del precio hay varios factores que lo determinan: Cultura, estilo de vida, motivación,
personalidad, edad y percepción. Además, los mercados se pueden segmentar de acuerdo a los
parámetros de consumo.
El comportamiento del consumidor determina la forma más eficiente de satisfacer las necesidades
de los clientes. Así, el cliente es considerado desde el ángulo del marketing como el objetivo
principal ya que las empresas existen tan solo por los consumidores e implementan estrategias de
mercadeo para cubrir sus necesidades. De esta manera, los directores de marketing deben considerar
varios componentes y hace siempre este tipo de preguntas ¿Qué, quien, porque, como, cuando,
donde, cuando compra? Algunas de las expresiones culturales como las subculturas, las posturas,
gestos, preferencias alimentarias, tabúes, prohibiciones, actitudes rituales son tomadas para uso de
marketing y luego son transferidas a la conducta del consumidor mediante rituales de consumo.

1.‐ INTRODUCCIÓN
Las experiencias de salud y enfermedad humanas, constituyen un proceso que puede entenderse
como un "continuum", donde la evolución del estado de la persona hacia el extremo de la
enfermedad implica una serie de prácticas de salud respaldadas por saberes y creencias culturales
que en muchos casos impiden, retrasan, sustituyen o continúan la atención sanitaria profesional
establecida según el modelo Biomédico. Hasta ese momento en que se inicia el contacto entre el
individuo con necesidades de salud y la institución sanitaria formal, proliferan y se desarrollan tanto
los sistemas de cuidados informales como los procesos de autoatención, ambos circunscritos al
ámbito doméstico; para el posterior mantenimiento de la vida, ambos resultan imprescindibles, pero
a su vez, requieren cierto maridaje con los cuidados profesionales. Cuando los procesos de salud‐
enfermedad se instauran de manera crónica en el tiempo, afectan a personas de edad avanzada y
generan dependencia, alcanzándose un estado de salud que apenas permite salir del domicilio o
incluso moverse, vuelven a cobrar gran relevancia todas las prácticas ligadas al cuidado y
mantenimiento de la vida en el ámbito doméstico. Los cuidados informales son, por tanto, uno de
los aspectos en los que centraremos nuestra atención debido a su importancia actual en una sociedad

4) What are the resource strengths and weaknesses of Grupo Modelo? What competencies and
capabilities does it have that its chief rivals don't have? What market opportunities does Grupo
Modelo have? What threats do you see to the company's future well being?
Grupo Modelo's strengths are the amount of established brands it currently has. It has the ability to
meet just about any market it enters with multiple flavor profiles. Grupo Modelo's financial situation
is very stable and gives it the ability to continue to grow when others are holding back. Their
weakness can be stated that as it grows into new emerging markets, which lack of outside resources
and partnerships, will take longer for them to understand the market. This will hurt them in the short
term, but if they stay true to their strategy they will succeed in the long run.
Grupo Modelo has opportunities in the following markets. China, India, and Russia. All these
countries currently do not have a group who is taking a large share of the market. All three are
experiencing a large population growth, which can fuel sales. These markets are also self–regulated
which makes it easier to understand the rules and regulations.

El tema de gobierno corporativo (GC de ahora en adelante) se origina con la idea de la empresa

administradores distintos a los dueños. Tanto Adam Smith (1776) como Berle y Means (1932)
expresaron sus reservas acerca de la viabilidad de este tipo de firmas. Smith, al referirse a las

En 1760 se funda la Bolsa de Londres y para 1844 el "Joint Stock Companies Act" exigía que todos
los nuevos negocios con más de 25 participantes debían ser "Incorporados" (Registrados como
sociedad). En 1855 se promulga el "Limited Liability Act" el cual limita la responsabilidad de los
accionistas al monto de capital invertido por cada uno, en caso de bancarrota. El número de
sociedades con responsabilidad limitada se incrementó rápidamente. Para 1914 había 65.000
registradas, número que pasó a 200.000 en 1945 y excede el 1'100.000 en la actualidad (Cadbury
2002). En la década de 1920 ya existía en G.B. preocupación por la separación entre propiedad y
control y la inefectividad de las juntas directivas ("Liberal Industry Inquiry" 1926–1928); pero la
2da guerra mundial y los esfuerzos de reconstrucción reubicaron dramáticamente los puntos en la
agenda del desempeño de las corporaciones. La existencia de un mercado sobre el control
corporativo apoyado en transacciones bursátiles y más recientemente en tomas hostiles ha sido de
gran importancia en G. B. (y en E.E. U.U.), pero casi históricamente inexistente en otros países, al
menos hasta épocas recientes. Los picos reportados para las fusiones empresariales corresponden a

evaluar están las devaluaciones, repatriaciones, control de capitales, expropiaciones y todos estos
cambian en todos los países.
Un concepto importante que nos ayudaría a tomar una decisión, es el "EMBI", que en términos
generales, nos indica la percepción de riesgo que tiene el mercado con respecto a ese país. En este
sentido, se debe tener la certeza de contar con un premio de mercado por el riesgo que implica
invertir en el país donde se encuentra la empresa.
Cabe señalar que nos encontramos en una economía global en donde se espera que, como mínimo,
las inversiones deban rendir a la tasa libre de riesgo, que para efectos de valoración se considera la
tasa de los tesoros de largo plazo. Además, debemos tener en cuenta el beta de la industria petrolera,

and Grupo Modelo a Mexican company that brews the popular beer Corona that held 50 percent of

Modelo's action was unethical they already had a US distributor that had a shared stake in its

announcement to US distributors about controlling the Corona brand resulted in a setback that

Abbey? After gaining enough capital to do so, Santander pursued a Merger and Acquisition strategy

with the help of their M&A strategy, the company was able to gain competitive advantage by

This freed up capital for more and more acquisitions down the road.
In conclusion, GS's M&A and differentiation strategy mutually complemented each other and were
both necessary for the firm's success. Without the acquisition of Banesto, Santander would never
have had access to the Partenon technology. Without this system, accounting and billing processes
would have been exponentially more complicated and costly. Santander would not only have not
had as much money to acquire new banks, but the increased complexity of processes could have
potentially been a nightmare.
2. Where, in the Santander Financial Statements (P&L, Balance Sheet or Cash Flow), does it
suggest they can afford the Abbey acquisition? What are they gaining?
Santander's ability to afford Abbey is shown through an analysis of the company's statement of cash
flows.and calculated future cash flows. Santander was able to save €250 per year with their Partenon
IT systems and estimated the cost savings of an additional €450 per year after 3 years integrating
Abbey's information systems. Santander is acquiring Abbey mainly for their information systems
but other benefits include Abbey's stake in the British marketplace where Abbey has been highly
established for years and deeply rooted in British culture. Santander wanted to integrate Abbey's

Let's say that the situation will continue like it is now, none of the 2 mentioned dangers happening,
other thing can become a real "pain" for Export Brands International: I am referring here at the fact
that consumers are increasingly shifting away from mass–produced beers towards high quality,
classier, and locally produced craft micro brews. Or the fact that Japanese consumers will be
tempted to buy affordable domestic brands due to the economic downturn. As because Corona is the
top seller in the Export Brands International portfolio, their revenues and profitability will be
seriously affected.
Not to say the fact that right now, Corona is not the only Mexican beer present in the Japanese
market, now being under direct attack by a series of other Mexican beer that have high marketing
budgets. To maintain the position, Export Brands International is forced to pump heavily in the
investment marketing budget , much more than the others as Corona must change and reinvent
itself. Export Brands International must come with something new trying once again to differentiate
as in the beginnings, now being a lot harder.
The situation can even explode for Export Brands International, as large beers conglomerates with

According to Hofstede, Great Britain is an individualistic country (score: 89), Brazil is a more
collectivist country (score: 38) and Spain is in the middle with a score of 51.
In a collectivist country an organisation puts the stress on the training of skills. That is what
Santander does with Abbey: they train the employees to improve the customer service
If we presume that the training of the UK employees happens after the working hours, they have less
personal time. But personal time is very important in an individualistic country, as Great Britain is
according to Hofstede, so this can create dissatisfaction among the UK staff.

Con sus 3000 kilómetros de litoral, España es el líder mundial absoluto en cuanto a turismo
balneario, es un destino ineludible atrayendo millones de turistas extranjeros cada ano. El sector
turístico es clave por la economía española porque es una de las principales fuentes de ingresos del

The company's strategic vision for foreign market share was implemented years ago. In 1990,
Corona was first exported to places such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and Greece as well as countries
with a strong beer drinking tradition such as Holland, Germany, and Belgium ("Grupo Modelo,"
2010). In 2007, construction began on the eighth Grupo Modelo brewery in Nava, Coahuila ("Grupo

Competitor Challenges: InBev
The combination of Anheuser–Busch and InBev would create the global leader in the beer industry
and one of the world's top five consumer products companies. This merger could potentially weaken
Grupo Modelo's position in the market. And the partnership between Grupo Modelo and Anheuser
Busch could be terminated. To enhance their strategy, Grupo Modelo should develop a reciprocal
relationship with Anheuser–Busch to help distribute and promote their beer products in the United
States. This partnership has benefited both companies in Mexico and would provide more support to
the Grupo Modelo brands and distribution network in the United States. Additionally dependent
upon the outcome of the merger, Grupo Modelo may benefit from a more co–dependent partnership
with this potentially growing company.

Many laws affect alcohol sales. Little above 10 states regulate types of packing materials and/or

market declined in 2015 for the sixth consecutive year, and for the 12th time in the last 15 years,

Theories Of Leadership : The Five Sources Of Power In...
Theories of motivation
The evaluation of power and influence has showed that they are closely related to the leadership
style that Carlos Slim lead. The five sources of power have categorized in two different category,
one is positional or organizational power consisting of legitimate, rewards and coercive; and the
remaining is personal power including expert and referent power (Combe, 2014). The personal
power is studied as more regarded in employee satisfaction, commitment, loyalty as well as job
performance (Lunenburg, 2012).
Sources of Power
Power is a source of ability to control other's actions (Combe, 2014). French and Raven had
originally developed the most influential theories in purpose of determining the sources of power
that leaders use to influence others. The five sources of power consist of coercive, reward and
legitimate where categorized in positional or organizational power; expert and referent are the
sources of power which categorized in personal power (French & Raven, 2004). Generally saying,
the personal power is more regarded to the job satisfaction of the employees, the commitment of the
organization, and job performance (Lunenburg, 2012). In contrast, the coercive power is a power
depending on fear which brings negatively consequences (Combe, 2014). Even though, these
sources of power have been defined their own definition, these powers should not be completely

Corona Vs Heineken Comparison
Corona vs. Heineken Which is the more superior beer, Corona or Heineken? I believe Corona is the
better beer due to the fact that Corona has the better taste and I would personally drink corona over
Heineken. I once suffered a killer headache that hurt from the head down one night after a long day
of drinking Heineken out on the lake. Corona is the better beer than Heineken, for example, I once
purchased a six pack of each brand to meet my hydration needs to prepare myself for a long, yet fun
lake day. After finishing both servings of beverages, I realized that Corona is the more superior beer
because Corona did not leave that "bitter after taste" and left me refreshed, resulting in me wishing I
had more. I prefer a cold, refreshing beer, so I understand that any beer with good quality will
satisfy a regular drinker more than the usual watery beer such as Keystone, Coors, or Bud Light. I

Many brewers follow similar recipes, but the ingredients of Corona and Heineken is the second
reason to compare these two beers. Corona and Heineken both have a great high quality taste but the
ingredients differ. Although the basic recipe for Heineken is closely guarded, the ingredients are no
secret. Heineken ingredients include barley malt (grain), hops (flavour–maker), water, yeast, and
gluten with no additional additives. The amount of gluten usually depends on whether the beer is a
lighter or darker colored product, with the lighter beer containing less gluten than the darker beer
such as Heineken. The ingredients for Corona look similar to Heineken's. The ingredients include
barley malt, rice, hops, yeast, ascorbic acid, propylene glycol, and/or corn. The ingredients give

History Of Bimbo Bakeries US
Bimbo Bakeries USA, headquartered in Horsham, Pennsylvania is the United States affiliate of
Grupo Industrial Bimbo, founded in Mexico City, Mexico. Though Grupo Bimbo is now a
multinational corporation, it began as a single family–owned bakery in Mexico City called "El
Molino". Lorenzo Servitje Sendra worked with his father in the family bakery throughout his
childhood, but when his father died in 1936 he had to take over. Lorenzo was educated and
ambitious, and together with three of his family members devised a plan to increase the scope of
their business. They bought five delivery vans to deliver their breads, wrapped in plastic to preserve
freshness, to various small stores daily. Customers loved their product and within a few years they
had increased production and were expanding outside of Mexico City.
By 1955 they had a fleet of 100 delivery trucks. They were growing fast and organized their
operations as 'Grupo Industrial Bimbo' in 1965. They were exporting their breads, crackers, cookies
and other baked goods to South America, Portugal, and Spain. But the principals at Grupo Bimbo
saw the untapped potential of the huge consumer market in their neighbors to the north, the United
States (Thain, 2015).
A corporate growth trajectory into the U.S. was carefully planned, and with the passage of the North

Corona Beer Case Study Essay
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction: Corona Beer, produced in Mexico by Grupo Modelo since 1922, entered the United
States beer market in 1979, and by 2007, was the number one imported beer in the United States
(with 1.9% market share of the global beer industry) having recently taken that position from
Heineken, a rival (with 1.6% market share of the global beer industry). Corona used a broad
differentiation strategy with a "fun in the sun" marketing image. It also achieved strategic success by
using a distinctive glass bottle and providing a light–tasting beer that attracted a broader market.

Its unique glass bottle for distinctiveness, multiple brand selections, international operations, and
unobtrusive taste were also parts of its strategy.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
A long–term strategic management issue for GM is the increasing global competition due to the
mergers and acquisitions of its competitors. The partnership of Heineken and FEMSA (Mexico's
second largest beer company in terms of market share) was formed for the sole purpose to dethrone
Corona as the best–selling import beer in the United States. To make matters worse, there were also
rumours of large mergers and acquisitions of mid–tier brewers in order to better compete and
expand globally. In addition, with the introduction of NAFTA, Canadian and U.S. competitors were
slowly beginning to penetrate the Mexican market, which had the potential to chip away at the
majority market share GM enjoyed.
In the short–term, GM was slowly losing local market share to FEMSA, who continued to
experience steady growth, handled its own distribution channels, had immunity to the unstable peso,
and had the top six best–rated beers brewed in Mexico according to RateBeer.com.
GM needed to find a way to protect its long sustained success in the domestic market, and build as a
global player, which had everything to do with its strategy in developing foreign markets. Given the
volatility of the Mexican economy, GM needed to seek international markets

In this situation where the manufacturers are neck to neck in competition, the indirect sale method
of SCF grasps what is left. It also manages to take a healthy share in the markets for used cars. The
bargaining power of the suppliers is limited to the type of deal they have with the dealers; it can
either be a baseline interest deal or the interest rate may vary. Automobiles manufacturers have
different criteria as they can manage to keep the interest rates lower than the ones set by SCF. The
bargaining power of customers is slightly greater than that of the suppliers. The number of suppliers
in the market is large and the consumer has the luxury of choosing from a variety of auto–financing
deals. The market has thus transformed into one of the most important ones especially after the
recent credit Crunch. Interest was cut down to as low as 1% in some cases to boost sales. Overall,

The rapidly grow of financial innovation and technology in the international financial market have
encouraged an increase in the significant role of compliance in financial service firms over the last
decade. Particularly, aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, to ensure the financial stability
and protect the future crisis, regulators have continued to pay attention on improved requirement of
capital and liquidity as well as risk management and corporate governance in the financial
intermediary. Additionally, policy makers also have focused on issues associated with stakeholders
of the financial service firms and public interest such as consumer protection, insider trading,
LIBOR manipulation and money laundering. An effective compliance, risk management and internal
audit are major mechanisms to create strong corporate governance (The Chartered Institute of
Internal Auditors, 2013), which can reduce risks arising from failure to comply regulations and non–

following: For the first time in the history of the company, the CEO is not a family member. Van
Boxmeer was appointed CEO although the family still maintains the controlling share of the
company's stock. They developed a plan called Fit 2 Fight which made several changes. Most of
them aimed at streamlining management. They cut the executive board from 5 members down to
three. The new board is made up of the CEO, COO, and CFO. The change is expected to assist the
company in thinking about the steps that it needs to take to win over younger customers across
different markets whose tastes are still developing. Heineken also created management positions that
would be responsible for 5 different operating regions and nine different functional areas. These
positions were created to more clearly define different spheres of responsibility. The management
group was cut from 36 to 13 members in order to speed up the decision making process. Also, the

La Representación Social del SIDA Essay
La subjetividad es un efecto de los lenguajes socialmente construídos, es una producción de la
cultura. El lenguaje crea y reproduce diferentes formas subjetivas de representación social. A partir
de Freud y Lacan, el lenguaje es pensado como un tejido sólido, donde se constituye un juego de
representaciones: el juego en que el lenguaje tiene la tarea de representar el sujeto y el objeto, lo
físico y lo psíquico, la fantasía y la realidad, la imaginación y la percepción. El sujeto es forjado en
y por el lenguaje, porque éste determina su construcción subjetiva. Ser humano es pertenecer a una
determinada organización normativa que nombra los valores con los cuales pautamos nuestras
acciones en el mundo de los hombres.

y publicado en 1994 en la Colección Historia Social del SIDA de la editorial Relumé Dumará. Este
trabajo es un importante registro histórico que, según su autor, tiene como objetivo "describir el
proceso de construcción de categorías diagnosticadas por el saber médico"(1994:17).
El autor considera que el nombre "SIDA fue uno de los términos adoptados de una larga línea que va
de la neumonía, por Pneumocystis carinii en homosexuales previamente saludables, hasta la
infección por el HIV"(1994:43). Esta línea fue delimitada en el año 1981, por el anuncio de una
nueva enfermedad (sin nombre todavía) que atacaba hombres que tenían en común la
homosexualidad o el uso continuo de drogas inyectables.
Esta nueva enfermedad es presentada al público en agosto de 1982 cuando la revista Science publica
el siguiente titular: "Nueva enfermedad deja perpleja a la comunidad científica". Se inicia la
construcción de tablas para diagnosticar las fases de evolución de esta enfermedad: desde la
aparición del sarcoma de Kaposi de la pneumocistosis hasta las llamadas infecciones oportunistas.
Esta tabla inicial sirvió como instrumento de trabajo clínico por un lado y por otro, se buscó
demarcar la hipótesis de una etiología viral.
El diagnóstico de los síntomas incorporó valores morales que definen comportamientos. Camargo Jr.

A Summary On ' Silvio Waisbord '
Silvio Waisbord nos habla del "árbol genealógico" (family tree ) de las teorías, conceptos ,
metodologías y estrategias para el cambio , la descripción de cada " rama " de las direcciones
relacionadas pero muy distintas en las que este sector se ha movido – desde sus orígenes en los
programas de ayuda internacional de la posguerra en los países en desarrollo a sus diferentes
mejoras en los últimos años , a través de el día de hoy . En otras palabras , este informe "identifica
los principales planteamientos teóricos y sus aplicaciones prácticas , traza sus orígenes , hace
comparaciones , e indica las fortalezas y debilidades. Además analiza las principales concepciones
de comunicación para el desarrollo que expresan el punto de vista de los principales ' troncos ' y '

Waisbord explica que existen dos enfoques de comunicación básica para el desarrollo , que se
pueden caracterizar de la siguiente manera :
El paradigma dominante :En este modelo , el problema del subdesarrollo se debe a la falta de
información. De acuerdo con la teoría de la modernización que se basa este paradigma , la cultura es
vista como un obstáculo potencial para el cambio social. La idea es que , mediante la transmisión de
información (por ejemplo , a través de los medios de comunicación ) desde un emisor a un receptor
a través de un proceso lineal y unidireccional, los valores modernos podrían ser inculcados e ideas

Muscular De Duchenne E Uma Doenca

  • 1. Muscular De Duchenne E Uma Doenca A Distrofia Muscular de Duchenne é uma doença hereditária, caracterizada por uma degeneração muscular progressiva, causando fraqueza (Emery, 1993). Por ser uma condição recessiva ligada ao cromossomo "X", a DMD afeta predominantemente meninos, e estudos recentes reportam que sua incidência geral corresponde a 1:4087 (Mendell at al., 2012). Esta distrofia está relacionada à ausência da proteína distrofina em diversos tecidos, a qual corresponde a cerca de 0.002% da massa proteica da célula muscular estriada. Com o desenvolvimento da DMD, a ausência e/ou disfunção desta proteína resulta em necrose e comprometimento da capacidade de regeneração da fibra muscular (Chargé & Rudnick 2004). Mutações espontâneas do gene da distrofina têm sido observadas em animais, tornando–os modelos experimentais para DMD. Camundongos são frequentemente utilizados como modelo para a doença, incluindo animais com mutação espontânea ou modelos knockout, ainda que ambos apresentem um fenótipo menos severo do que o humano (Berg et al., 2011; Sicinski et al., 1989; Itagaki et al., 1995; Grady et al., 1997). Como o gene da distrofina é conservado em relação ao seu tamanho e função em mamíferos, as distrofinopatias derivadas de mutações espontâneas em animais como cães e gatos foram relatadas, demonstrando a similaridade genética da doença entre humanos e principalmente cães (Kornegay et al., 1988). Nestes animais, a distrofia tem sido registrada com maior incidência em cães da raça Golden Retriever, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Para ello es indispensable redefinir los conceptos según el contexto en el que se hablen. Se definirá el término de percepción, reflejaremos la confusión en las definiciones de percepción y/o sensación, que se nos plantean en el lenguaje ordinario, comentaremos las dimensiones física, biológica y social del concepto de percepción y por último mencionaremos el análisis del proceso de la información en el trabajo. Continuaremos con la definición de carga de trabajo, haciendo distinción entre carga física y carga mental. Con el propósito de establecer un marco de referencia, para el estudio de la carga física del trabajo, se consideran dos tipos de carga: biomecánica y bioenergética; y los efectos de la carga física de trabajo en las personas.

Corona Beer (Modelo) Strayer University Ms. Gigi Smith Strategic Management – BUS 599 November 14th, 2010 Abstract This case analysis presents a synopsis of Corona Beer (Modelo) current strategy and its position within the competitive beer industry. The key question being addressed is whether Modelo would be able to maintain its status as one of the market leaders in beer production and distribution as competition in the industry increases. This paper presents an analysis of the trends within the global beer market, analysis of the foreign market of Modelo, competitor analysis, and by identifying the strategic challenges being faced and various options and recommendations to address them. Identify and discuss ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In order operations in the United States, Modelo set up Procermex Inc. a subsidiary whose purpose was to coordinate, support, and supervise the two distributors. The strength of the relationship between the importer and Modelo was very strong as taxes increased in 1991. To further expand internationally, I would encourage Grupo Modelo to continue its model of contracting with a distributor in the target region. This strategy has benefited the company because the local distributors are able to brand the beers to their local market needs. I believe that China and Australia are two markets that have great potential for demand of Grupo Modelo 's beers. China recently surpassed the U.S. in total beer consumption. There is a huge population that is potential for demand. Australia already has high per–capita consumption of beer, so it might be an easy market to enter especially considering the match of brand image of Corona to the typical image of Australian beaches. Identify and discuss the next foreign market that Modelo should enter and with what strategy. In the current environment, the biggest challenge for Grupo Modelo is to sustain its growth and maximize the return to shareholders by following business expansion strategy in order to retain market leadership position in both domestic (Mexican) and International market especially in United States. Hence, the company could consider various options to overcome this challenge: Expand ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

For mainstream beer consumers, particularly in emerging markets, the most common trade–up proposition is to attractive, local, premium brands. In markets such as North America and Western Europe, premium beer's share of total sales is already well above the global average. On the other hand, premium's share of 10.1% in Central and South Africa and 3.0% in Africa shows the significant opportunity that still exists for premium beer sales in these regions. There is sizeable potential in Colombia and Brazil where premium beers respectively claim 3.7% and 5.6% of total sales (Karrenbrock, 1990). The trend towards premium beer consumption has slowed somewhat in the recent economic downturn; however, down–trading is limited and there are notable instances of consumers continuing to trade up, both into beer and, within the category, into premium products. Over the past decade, the beer industry has seen significant consolidation and this trend continued during 2008. On a pro forma basis, beer sales by the top 10 players now total approximately 65% of total global sales compared to less than 40% at the start of the century. In recent major developments, the division of Scottish and Newcastle's business between Carlsberg and Heineken was completed during the first half of 2008 while InBev acquired Anheuser–Busch in November 2008.

En un estudio del comportamiento del consumidor, además del precio hay varios factores que lo determinan: Cultura, estilo de vida, motivación, personalidad, edad y percepción. Además, los mercados se pueden segmentar de acuerdo a los parámetros de consumo. El comportamiento del consumidor determina la forma más eficiente de satisfacer las necesidades de los clientes. Así, el cliente es considerado desde el ángulo del marketing como el objetivo principal ya que las empresas existen tan solo por los consumidores e implementan estrategias de mercadeo para cubrir sus necesidades. De esta manera, los directores de marketing deben considerar varios componentes y hace siempre este tipo de preguntas ¿Qué, quien, porque, como, cuando, donde, cuando compra?

INTRODUCCIÓN 23 1.1 PROPÓSITO Y OBJETO DE ESTUDIO 1.‐ INTRODUCCIÓN Las experiencias de salud y enfermedad humanas, constituyen un proceso que puede entenderse como un "continuum", donde la evolución del estado de la persona hacia el extremo de la enfermedad implica una serie de prácticas de salud respaldadas por saberes y creencias culturales que en muchos casos impiden, retrasan, sustituyen o continúan la atención sanitaria profesional establecida según el modelo Biomédico. Hasta ese momento en que se inicia el contacto entre el individuo con necesidades de salud y la institución sanitaria formal, proliferan y se desarrollan tanto los sistemas de cuidados informales como los procesos de autoatención, ambos circunscritos al ámbito doméstico; para el posterior mantenimiento de la vida, ambos resultan imprescindibles, pero a su vez, requieren cierto maridaje con los cuidados profesionales. Cuando los procesos de salud‐ enfermedad se instauran de manera crónica en el tiempo, afectan a personas de edad avanzada y generan dependencia, alcanzándose un estado de salud que apenas permite salir del domicilio o incluso moverse, vuelven a cobrar gran relevancia todas las prácticas ligadas al cuidado y mantenimiento de la vida en el ámbito doméstico. Los cuidados informales son, por tanto, uno de los aspectos en los que centraremos nuestra atención debido a su importancia actual en una sociedad envejecida, con nuevas necesidades.

What market opportunities does Grupo Modelo have? What threats do you see to the company's future well being? Grupo Modelo's strengths are the amount of established brands it currently has. It has the ability to meet just about any market it enters with multiple flavor profiles. Grupo Modelo's financial situation is very stable and gives it the ability to continue to grow when others are holding back. Their weakness can be stated that as it grows into new emerging markets, which lack of outside resources and partnerships, will take longer for them to understand the market. This will hurt them in the short term, but if they stay true to their strategy they will succeed in the long run. Grupo Modelo has opportunities in the following markets. China, India, and Russia. All these countries currently do not have a group who is taking a large share of the market. All three are experiencing a large population growth, which can fuel sales. These markets are also self–regulated which makes it easier to understand the rules and regulations. The biggest threat to Grupo Modelo is that of rival Heineken, it has decided to continue to partner with companies to position

Definiciones y objetivos del Gobierno Corporativo El tema de gobierno corporativo (GC de ahora en adelante) se origina con la idea de la empresa moderna. Se identifica inicialmente con la delegación del poder sobre la toma de decisiones hacia administradores distintos a los dueños. Tanto Adam Smith (1776) como Berle y Means (1932) expresaron sus reservas acerca de la viabilidad de este tipo de firmas. Smith, al referirse a las compañías por acciones, describe un típico conflicto de agencia: "De los directores de tales compañías sin embargo, siendo los administradores del dinero de otros y no del suyo propio, no puede esperarse que ellos lo vigilen con la misma ansiosa diligencia con la cual ...

En 1760 se funda la Bolsa de Londres y para 1844 el "Joint Stock Companies Act" exigía que todos los nuevos negocios con más de 25 participantes debían ser "Incorporados" (Registrados como sociedad). En 1855 se promulga el "Limited Liability Act" el cual limita la responsabilidad de los accionistas al monto de capital invertido por cada uno, en caso de bancarrota. El número de sociedades con responsabilidad limitada se incrementó rápidamente. Para 1914 había 65.000 registradas, número que pasó a 200.000 en 1945 y excede el 1'100.000 en la actualidad (Cadbury 2002). En la década de 1920 ya existía en G.B. preocupación por la separación entre propiedad y control y la inefectividad de las juntas directivas ("Liberal Industry Inquiry" 1926–1928); pero la 2da guerra mundial y los esfuerzos de reconstrucción reubicaron dramáticamente los puntos en la agenda del desempeño de las corporaciones.

Un concepto importante que nos ayudaría a tomar una decisión, es el "EMBI", que en términos generales, nos indica la percepción de riesgo que tiene el mercado con respecto a ese país. En este sentido, se debe tener la certeza de contar con un premio de mercado por el riesgo que implica invertir en el país donde se encuentra la empresa. Cabe señalar que nos encontramos en una economía global en donde se espera que, como mínimo, las inversiones deban rendir a la tasa libre de riesgo, que para efectos de valoración se considera la tasa de los tesoros de largo plazo. Además, debemos tener en cuenta el beta de la industria petrolera, el cual se puede calcular de las empresas de este sector que cotizan en bolsa.

After gaining enough capital to do so, Santander pursued a Merger and Acquisition strategy to largely increase its retail banking scope and scale internationally. It could also be argued that, with the help of their M&A strategy, the company was able to gain competitive advantage by differentiating their IT services.

In conclusion, GS's M&A and differentiation strategy mutually complemented each other and were both necessary for the firm's success. Without the acquisition of Banesto, Santander would never have had access to the Partenon technology. Without this system, accounting and billing processes would have been exponentially more complicated and costly. Santander would not only have not had as much money to acquire new banks, but the increased complexity of processes could have potentially been a nightmare. 2. Where, in the Santander Financial Statements (P&L, Balance Sheet or Cash Flow), does it suggest they can afford the Abbey acquisition? What are they gaining? Santander's ability to afford Abbey is shown through an analysis of the company's statement of cash flows.and calculated future cash flows. Santander was able to save €250 per year with their Partenon IT systems and estimated the cost savings of an additional €450 per year after 3 years integrating Abbey's information systems. Santander is acquiring Abbey mainly for their information systems but other benefits include Abbey's stake in the British marketplace where Abbey has been highly established for years and deeply rooted in British culture.

Let's say that the situation will continue like it is now, none of the 2 mentioned dangers happening, other thing can become a real "pain" for Export Brands International: I am referring here at the fact that consumers are increasingly shifting away from mass–produced beers towards high quality, classier, and locally produced craft micro brews. Or the fact that Japanese consumers will be tempted to buy affordable domestic brands due to the economic downturn. As because Corona is the top seller in the Export Brands International portfolio, their revenues and profitability will be seriously affected. Not to say the fact that right now, Corona is not the only Mexican beer present in the Japanese market, now being under direct attack by a series of other Mexican beer that have high marketing budgets. To maintain the position, Export Brands International is forced to pump heavily in the investment marketing budget , much more than the others as Corona must change and reinvent itself. Export Brands International must come with something new trying once again to differentiate as in the beginnings, now being a lot harder.

In 2007, construction began on the eighth Grupo Modelo brewery in Nava, Coahuila ("Grupo Modelo," 2010).

The five sources of power have categorized in two different category, one is positional or organizational power consisting of legitimate, rewards and coercive; and the remaining is personal power including expert and referent power (Combe, 2014). The personal power is studied as more regarded in employee satisfaction, commitment, loyalty as well as job performance (Lunenburg, 2012).

Though Grupo Bimbo is now a multinational corporation, it began as a single family–owned bakery in Mexico City called "El Molino". Lorenzo Servitje Sendra worked with his father in the family bakery throughout his childhood, but when his father died in 1936 he had to take over. Lorenzo was educated and ambitious, and together with three of his family members devised a plan to increase the scope of their business. They bought five delivery vans to deliver their breads, wrapped in plastic to preserve freshness, to various small stores daily. Customers loved their product and within a few years they had increased production and were expanding outside of Mexico City. By 1955 they had a fleet of 100 delivery trucks. They were growing fast and organized their operations as 'Grupo Industrial Bimbo' in 1965. They were exporting their breads, crackers, cookies and other baked goods to South America, Portugal, and Spain. But the principals at Grupo Bimbo saw the untapped potential of the huge consumer market in their neighbors to the north, the United States (Thain, 2015). A corporate growth trajectory into the U.S. was carefully planned, and with the passage of the North American Free Trade Act in 1994 Bimbo was ready to act. How did this small group of determined people grow a family business into the largest provider ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Corona Beer Case Study Essay EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction: Corona Beer, produced in Mexico by Grupo Modelo since 1922, entered the United States beer market in 1979, and by 2007, was the number one imported beer in the United States (with 1.9% market share of the global beer industry) having recently taken that position from Heineken, a rival (with 1.6% market share of the global beer industry). Corona used a broad differentiation strategy with a "fun in the sun" marketing image. It also achieved strategic success by using a distinctive glass bottle and providing a light–tasting beer that attracted a broader market. Problem identification: The global beer industry was experiencing increasing competition due to the new and potential mergers and acquisitions of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Its unique glass bottle for distinctiveness, multiple brand selections, international operations, and unobtrusive taste were also parts of its strategy. PROBLEM STATEMENT A long–term strategic management issue for GM is the increasing global competition due to the mergers and acquisitions of its competitors. The partnership of Heineken and FEMSA (Mexico's second largest beer company in terms of market share) was formed for the sole purpose to dethrone Corona as the best–selling import beer in the United States. To make matters worse, there were also rumours of large mergers and acquisitions of mid–tier brewers in order to better compete and expand globally. In addition, with the introduction of NAFTA, Canadian and U.S. competitors were slowly beginning to penetrate the Mexican market, which had the potential to chip away at the majority market share GM enjoyed. In the short–term, GM was slowly losing local market share to FEMSA, who continued to experience steady growth, handled its own distribution channels, had immunity to the unstable peso, and had the top six best–rated beers brewed in Mexico according to RateBeer.com. GM needed to find a way to protect its long sustained success in the domestic market, and build as a global player, which had everything to do with its strategy in developing foreign markets. Given the volatility of the Mexican economy, GM needed to seek international markets ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Delimitación: Estudiar la construcción del rol de género femenino, a partir de el comportamiento y las actitudes de los personajes, en las películas "Terminator 2: El juicio final" y "El Cuento de la Doncella". Se usará la Teoría de Género y sus componentes como categoría de análisis. Justificación: No se encontraron muchas investigaciones que liguen ambos enfoques: el cuerpo y su construcción social, con la teoría de género enfocada a la feminidad no tradicional, sin embargo existen amplios estudios de dichas áreas por separado. Se encontraron autores que se refieren a la construcción del cuerpo en la ciencia ficción, así como la construcción social del mismo. Por otro lado hay numerosos estudios y teóricos sobre la teoría de género, masculinidad y feminidad, con un enfoque especial sobre esta última pues es la que en las más recientes décadas se ha dedicado a romper esquemas preestablecidos. Así mismo, existen estudios sobre el movimiento feminista y como éste luchó por cambiar la percepción del modelo patriarcal. Como lo retrata Clute (1993) la ciencia ficción en el siglo XXI toma un papel sobresaliente como género; esto debido a que los grandes avances en la humanidad hicieron posible muchos mundos retratados en obras de años anteriores.

It also manages to take a healthy share in the markets for used cars. The bargaining power of the suppliers is limited to the type of deal they have with the dealers; it can either be a baseline interest deal or the interest rate may vary. Automobiles manufacturers have different criteria as they can manage to keep the interest rates lower than the ones set by SCF. The bargaining power of customers is slightly greater than that of the suppliers. The number of suppliers in the market is large and the consumer has the luxury of choosing from a variety of auto–financing deals. The market has thus transformed into one of the most important ones especially after the recent credit Crunch. Interest was cut down to as low as 1% in some cases to boost sales. Overall, using the five forces from Porter's analysis, it can be concluded that the consumer finance market in Europe and America (where Santander majorly operates) is pretty competitive especially because of the fact that manufacturing units ...

The rapidly grow of financial innovation and technology in the international financial market have encouraged an increase in the significant role of compliance in financial service firms over the last decade. Particularly, aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, to ensure the financial stability and protect the future crisis, regulators have continued to pay attention on improved requirement of capital and liquidity as well as risk management and corporate governance in the financial intermediary. Additionally, policy makers also have focused on issues associated with stakeholders of the financial service firms and public interest such as consumer protection, insider trading, LIBOR manipulation and money laundering. An effective compliance, risk management and internal audit are major mechanisms to create strong corporate governance (The Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors, 2013), which can reduce risks arising from failure to comply regulations and non– compliance in the financial institutions. Compliance plays an essential role to mitigate risk and protect the business from regulatory fault. Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (2005) defines compliance as "an independent function that identifies, assesses, advises on, monitors and reports on the bank's compliance risk, that is, the risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, financial loss, or loss to reputation a bank may suffer as a result of its failure to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, ...

This strategy gains market share and competitive advantage by distinguishing their products from their competitors through excellent design. A U.S. wholesaler recently asked a group of marketing students to identify a group of beer bottles that had been stripped of their labels. The stubby green Heineken bottle was the only one among the group that showed an instant recognition. This strategy also focuses on high awareness, easy accessibility, and new products.

Such cross border deals have provided significant benefits to the brewing giants. This has given them ownership of local brands propelling them into dominant market positions around the world as global brands sell at significantly higher prices and the margins are much better as compared to the local beers. 3. What changes has Heineken made that will help it deal with its challenges? Some of the changes that Heineken has implemented during the past few years include the following: For the first time in the history of the company, the CEO is not a family member. Van Boxmeer was appointed CEO although the family still maintains the controlling share of the company's stock. They developed a plan called Fit 2 Fight which made several changes. Most of them aimed at streamlining management. They cut the executive board from 5 members down to three. The new board is made up of the CEO, COO, and CFO. The change is expected to assist the company in thinking about the steps that it needs to take to win over younger customers across different markets whose tastes are still developing. Heineken also created management positions that would be responsible for 5 different operating regions and nine different functional areas. These positions were created to more clearly define different spheres of responsibility. The management group was cut from 36 to 13 members in order to speed up the decision making process.

El lenguaje crea y reproduce diferentes formas subjetivas de representación social. A partir de Freud y Lacan, el lenguaje es pensado como un tejido sólido, donde se constituye un juego de representaciones: el juego en que el lenguaje tiene la tarea de representar el sujeto y el objeto, lo físico y lo psíquico, la fantasía y la realidad, la imaginación y la percepción. El sujeto es forjado en y por el lenguaje, porque éste determina su construcción subjetiva.

Este trabajo es un importante registro histórico que, según su autor, tiene como objetivo "describir el proceso de construcción de categorías diagnosticadas por el saber médico"(1994:17). El autor considera que el nombre "SIDA fue uno de los términos adoptados de una larga línea que va de la neumonía, por Pneumocystis carinii en homosexuales previamente saludables, hasta la infección por el HIV"(1994:43). Esta línea fue delimitada en el año 1981, por el anuncio de una nueva enfermedad (sin nombre todavía) que atacaba hombres que tenían en común la homosexualidad o el uso continuo de drogas inyectables. Esta nueva enfermedad es presentada al público en agosto de 1982 cuando la revista Science publica el siguiente titular: "Nueva enfermedad deja perpleja a la comunidad científica".
