Module overview:
Appearance deals with every aspect of how we perceive an individual. In an instant, we form opinions about a person based on that individual’s appearance, smell, cleanliness, and mannerisms. Those brief seconds define how we treat others or are treated by others. Likewise, our appearance is a direct reflection of the environment in which we were raised (i.e. a reflection upon our parents and families). Through our actions and appearance, others may form a lasting, and sometimes detrimental, impression of us that we may never overcome. This module will help you to learn the importance of your appearance and how it may affect your peer relationships and productivity.
Grooming and good business etiquette is a must for every executive in today's global environment. This presentation helps in understanding finer aspects of grooming and etiquette

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
