Discussion on Marks & Spencer’s Choice for Target Germany.

/in /by

You will prepare and submit a term paper on Marks & Spencer’s Choice for Target Germany. Your paper should be a minimum of 2500 words in length. The target country for Marks & Spencer’s international expansion in Europe is Germany. The decision has been based on Germany’s rank in terms of overall value for the major industries where M&S operates: apparel retail industry, food retail industry, and on-line retail industry within Europe. Germany has the second-highest share in terms of value for the apparel retail industry (Datamonitor: Germany Apparel Retail 2009). the highest share in terms of value for the food retail industry (Datamonitor: Germany Food Retail 2009). and the third highest, next to the United Kingdom and France, in terms of value for the on-line retail industry (Datamonitor: Germany on-line Retail 2009).

The country analysis is done by conducting a typical PEST analysis, short for Political-Legal, Economic, Socio-cultural, and Technological analysis. The input for the analysis comes from legitimate publications such as Datamonitor Country Profiles, I.H.S. Global Insight, Business Monitor International, and Country Report and Country Intelligence publications by The Economist Intelligence Unit.

The PEST analysis is one of the frameworks that has always been used for environmental scanning. As the analysis outlines the different forces that will impact the organization according to the four macro-environmental variables, the framework is a useful tool to scan the environment for strategic purposes. However, the quality of the analysis will greatly depend on the quality of the inputs, as well as the legitimacy of the sources.

The political landscape of Germany has changed since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008. One of the most notable changes over the years includes tax reforms that increased the value-added tax in 2007, lowered corporate rates in 2008, as well as streamlined capital gains taxes in 2009 (Country Commerce 2009, 6). These changes&nbsp.have positive implications for M&S should it pursue entering the country through foreign expansion.

Reply to:Schizophrenia is a complex disorder, for a long time it was very misunderstood, and individuals were not able to get proper care which often resulted in institutionalized care without added care. This was because at the time the therapy approaches being used were not effective (Comer & Comer, 2021). Over the years there have been new developments and a handful of effective treatments have come to the surface. Drug therapy is an extremely useful treatment for schizophrenia, however, there are also newer approaches to therapy that have been developed over the years. For treatment, there is Milieu therapy, token economy programs, psychotherapy, and community approaches. Community care was a result of the poor conditions individuals who experience in mental institutions, this approach allowed for individuals to get the care they needed in their communities rather than being transported to other facilities and far aware from their home, friends, and family (Comer & Comer, 2021). Community care is a form of treatment that has shown 3 times the improvement for individuals (Comer & comer, 2021). This form of treatment has been shown to be beneficial for individuals with severe mental disorders. This is a combination of inpatient and outpatient care, long-term, short-term, and aftercare. While institutionalized care was more often a set of things that did not have enough resources and flexibility for individuals, keeping them away from their community and support. For example, one of the sections of community care is halfway houses. Halfway houses are places where individuals who do not need inpatient full-time hospitalization but are also unable to live at home are allowed to live with the care they need. One of the biggest problems with community care is that they are underfunded and are unable to meet the needs of individuals due to this lack of funding. This causes some individuals to become homeless.

The Score was 4

In this unit’s study, you completed the Adverse Childhood Experience  (ACE) Questionnaire. Your maximum score is a possible 10; however,  research shows that any score over three indicates risk for many of the behavioral and physical consequences related to ACE scores. You need not share your score, but discuss how you might use this tool in your future social work practice. Explain how you might use the five pillars of TIC with clients who have high ACE scores.

Your post should be 10–15 sentences long.

Discussion on Non-Violent Crimes Committed by Women.

/in /by

Hi, need to submit a 1250 words paper on the topic Non-Violent Crimes Committed by Women. The academic literature in the field of criminology is devoting increasing attention to the factors that cause women to engage in criminal behavior. Some researchers have discovered that the behavioral patterns appear to differ between female and male offenders. Others have observed that alternative research and assessment strategies need to be applied to female offenders to gain a better understanding of deviant behavior in women and to obtain more reliable data on crimes committed by women.

One thing is clear. Trying to discover answers to the very complex issues impacting criminal behavior in women, requires that researchers utilize research methodologies that are reliable and valid. Moreover, universally accepted sampling procedures that allow for generalizations to the population of women offenders as a whole, must be utilized. This paper develops a research model that accomplishes these objectives.

In addressing complex social problems such as the prevalence of crime, researchers often utilize a mixed methodology that involves the application of both quantitative and qualitative models. These hybrid models allow the researcher to utilize multiple approaches in trying to reach the same outcome or conclusion. This is sometimes referred to as triangulation.

Data on all crimes that are reported in the United States are available through the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). BJS funds criminal justice statistics centers in each state and the data are available to researchers. The data are coded into the system by type of crime. drug possession or embezzlement, for example. A number of variables are then reported for each category of crime. year, age, gender, race, city or rural, drug or alcohol related and federal or state violation.
