A problem facing shoe store managers is that many shoes eventually must be sold at markdown prices. This prompts us to conduct a mail survey of shoe store managers in which we ask, What methods have you found most successful for reducing the problem of high markdowns? We are interested in extracting as much information as possible from these answers to better understand the full range of strategies that store managers use. Establish what you think are category sets to code 500 responses similar to the 14 given here. Try to develop an integrated set of categories that reflects your theory of markdown management. After developing the set, use it to code the 14 responses.
1. Have not found the answer. As long as we buy style shoes, we will have markdowns. We use PMs on slow merchandise, but it does not eliminate markdowns. (PM stands for “push-money”—special item bonuses for selling a particular style of shoe.)
2. Using PMs before too old. Also reducing price during season. Holding meetings with salespeople indicating which shoes to push.
3. By putting PMs on any slow-selling items and promoting same. More careful check of shoes purchased.
4. Keep a close watch on your stock, and mark down when you have to—that is, rather than wait, take a small markdown on a shoe that is not moving at the time.
5. Using the PM method.
6. Less advance buying—more dependence on in-stock shoes.
7. Sales—catch bad guys before it’s too late and close out.
8. Buy as much good merchandise as you can at special prices to help make up some markdowns.
9. Reducing opening buys and depending on fill-in service. PMs for salespeople.
10. Buy more frequently, better buying, PMs on slow-moving merchandise.
11. Careful buying at lowest prices. Cash on the buying line. Buying closeouts, FDs, overstock, “cancellations.” (FD stands for “factory-discontinued” style.)
12. By buying less “chanceable” shoes. Buy only what you need, watch sizes, don’t go overboard on new fads.
13. Buying more staple merchandise. Buying more from fewer lines. Sticking with better nationally advertised merchandise.
14. No successful method with the current style situation. Manufacturers are experimenting, the retailer takes the markdowns—cuts gross profit by about 3 percent—keep your stock at lowest level without losing sales.

Final Paper
Final Paper Synopsis:
The purpose of this paper will be to simulate a professional analysis of a segment of technology that will contribute to the success of your fictional company. Each student will use the same company. You will choose one of five technologies on which to focus. The complete guidelines are below beginning with the scenario.
Scenario
Overview
JK Incorporated is a 50-year-old retail and distribution grocery company that owns and operates 3,000 stores under different banners across the United States. The mix of products includes products purchased from other manufacturers as well as product that JK manufactures itself. This results in national brands and private labels sold side by side. JK has stores, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and its own distribution fleet of trucks.
JK has enjoyed many years of success using methods that are now considered out of date and is now no longer leading in the industry. Technically progressive companies have entered the grocery industry and are threatening to disrupt JK and put it out of business entirely. JK has many areas that are in need of analysis to identify the positive impact that newer technology may have on its business.
You have been assigned to choose one of the 4 “current state” issues below and articulate the benefits of using the new technology.
Current State Issues
1. JK is using multiple regional data centers with older and less reliable hardware to deliver technical capabilities like point of sale, distribution logistics, loyalty programs, etc. Each of these data centers has high overhead with regard to management (labor), administration (skills), facilities (buildings, environmentals, security, network, and energy). This issue may be a candidate for the analysis of cloud computing.
2. JK has many distribution centers and trucks. These distribution centers do not integrate with the store systems for the timely tracking of deliveries. The current systems do not allow the store managers to answer simple questions like “where’s my truck” or “where’s my order”. JK also has a limited home delivery or “buy online and pick up in store capability. In essence, the distribution channel stops at the store rather than at the customers home as opposed to up and coming rivals. This issue may be a candidate for an overhaul of the enterprise Warehouse Management System and supply chain optimization.
3. JK has limited knowledge of it’s customers. The company relies primarily on random coupons based on products that need to be moved quickly. The marketing and promotion campaigns rely heavily on newspaper advertisements that promote based on time of year, holidays, or weekly bargains that represent overstock or third party promotions that they pass on to customers. There is a limited mobile and web experience with regard to meal planning, shopping list, personal preferences, allergies, or other localization items. This issue may be a candidate.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
