No bibliography. Winndix.wps

Advertising And Promotion : A 4 page paper discussing the importance of advertising and promotion. Keeping the product in front of the consumer is a prime focus of business, but it is not enough to simply put the name out in the marketplace—it is also necessary to put it in the place where it will not only produce the highest rate of return, but also contribute to building for the future. It’s a lesson from which Levi Strauss is now recovering. They missed a primary segment of their market, and the result has been that not only have they lost market share they had worked so hard to build, but they also have closed plants and laid off a third of their production workers in response to a single advertising misstep that was not rectified before damaging the company’s position.

Female-Exploitative Advertising : A 10 page research paper defining just what constitutes exploitative advertising. Each spring, the print advertisements of the previous year are pooled for judging. It’s awards time again. Winning an award for an ad is a true cap feather, but winning ads are not necessarily the most effective. If an effective ad as one designed with the built-in ability to reach the audience for which it is intended, then one that grabs the attention of a panel of experts is not necessarily the one that will work best for its intended purpose. Calvin Klein indeed captured attention, but that attention was accompanied by accusations of exploitation and kiddie porn. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Femads.wps

Advertising to Children : A 5 page paper discussing the ethics of advertising directly to children. One of the largest and growing consumer markets is that of children under 15 years old. This group increasingly has their own money with which they can make their own decisions, and they are making those decisions with a vengeance.

Propaganda in Advertising : An 8 page paper discussing the growth of propaganda in advertising. Most of the complaints of propaganda in advertising address only those campaigns that are blatant in their statements attempting to sway the thinking of consumers.

Edward Bernays and John Dewey were aware of the problem, though for far different reasons. Seventy years in the making, advertising propaganda has come into its own and is no longer limited to traditional advertising methods but also masquerades as new stories and civic-minded corporate responsibility.

Advertising Ethics -- An Oxymoron? : An 8 page paper asking just where advertising professionals should draw the line in their methods to protect their future, and how much responsibility the manufacturers of legal "vices" have in ensuring that their messages are directed to the proper target, and not put forth in an effort to recruit just one more generation of addicts to their products. One observer says that increased pressures on tobacco advertising prohibition forces the tobacco companies to find new ways to convey their message, and that they could well feel forced to participate in subliminal advertising as one after another of their existing advertising paths are blocked.

Advertising In Movies / On-Screen Product Placement : A 9 page paper on the benefits and the results of advertising by placing products within movies, TV shows and even CD-Rom-based computer games. Movie studios have long preferred using recognized national brands over generic approximations simply for the realism such product use provides. After Hershey’s Reese’s Pieces skyrocketed in sales following their appearance in the movie E.T., both advertisers and media producers have come to see product placement as a valuable tool: the advertising is inexpensive as national advertising goes, and the added revenues reduce the cost of production of the finished product. Some companies say that product placement is valuable only for brand reinforcement, but research indicates that advertisers can well expect increased sales. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Advertising is a company's primary means by which to sell its product; without television or radio advertising, businesses would have significantly less ability to successfully market their wares.

Through the years, a distinctive trend has been established with regard to the various methods advertisers employ in order to outshine the competition. Some of these practices are looked upon as being instrumental within such a cutthroat environment; others, however, are viewed as inappropriate and unacceptable.

Business Ethics : 7 pages in length. The "scoundrels" of today’s business operate from the point that all is fair, depending on who thinks of it and acts on it first. Those with a high level of ethical standards have the added advantage of dedicated and loyal employees who do their best for their company and for its customers.

Common Morality’s Applicability to Business : 6 pages in length. The concepts of right and wrong seem so simple on the surface. Webster’s defines morality as adherence to a standard of "right human conduct." Superficially, that definition would be easy for the "simple" to understand. When the focus is narrowed, however, it seems that the concept of morality grays in its boundaries. Morality is not only the black and white that the "simple" so seemingly effortlessly can see, with that clear line of demarcation between it and immorality. Focus is increasingly narrowed in our harried lives of today, but all of us are charged with keeping vigilance on the level of standard we will tolerate. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Morbusi.wps

Corporate Social Responsibility : 9 pages in length. Few could argue with Adam Smith’s statement that "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." Those businesses that refuse to look after their own self interests will not be businesses long enough to have any impact. At the same time, however, there can certainly be regard for a larger purpose. For some businesses, commitment to a larger purpose would be simply learning the difference between right and wrong, while others take a more responsible view of the role they play in the lives of their employees, their customers, and ultimately how they affect the world. Avis, Federal Express and Sam Walton’s philosophies are used as examples. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Corpresp.wps

Social Responsibility : 5 pages in length. Humanity has turned into a selfish, egotistical and myopic entity. No longer are people more concerned with others than they are with themselves. This move away from benevolence has caused considerable harm to man's reputation, as well as to the manner in which people interact. However, there does not appear to be any signs of significant change to this gross lack of social responsibility; therefore, it is safe to assume that mankind will continue down the road of self-centeredness. The writer interprets a paragraph as it relates to social responsibility. Bibliography lists 2 sources. Socrespn.wps

Bribery In International Business : A 10 page paper discussing incidence of bribery in the international business environment. What’s the difference in all-out bribery and "grease payments," "commissions," "agent fees?" The short answer, and the one correct in the eyes of every international ethics board, is that there is none. Bribery is bribery, and until only recently, the US was the only nation that made bribery in international affairs illegal. Nearly every developed nation has stringent laws against bribery within their borders, but only a few had addressed the international issue before the mid-1990s. Official condemnation by the OECD in 1997 and increasing awareness that bribery even in small amounts robs developing nations of real economic advances are working to reduce bribery’s benefits as an effective, though unethical, business tool. Bibliography lists 15 sources. Bribery.wps

Kickback Ethics : 5 pages in length. Sometimes, the boundaries between "ethical" and "legal" are totally clear. Other times, however, the distinction is not so easy to make. With the full roles of the US Justice Department, it is unlikely that America will soon dilute the legal stand against kickbacks. Recent measures by French courts have basically removed all of the teeth from any regulatory prohibitions of kickbacks already in place, causing observers to conclude that "the courts have done the dirty work of the politicians." Bibliography lists seven sources. Kidkback.wps

That there have been problems with the implants is a point that no one contests.

Bibliography lists 6 sources. Implants.wps
