Abstract
This paper argues that there are economically sound justifications for considering some form of free market approach for transplant organs. It is clear that transplant organs are scarce; nature does not freely provide as many organs as transplant patients want. Moreover, from an economic point of view, there certainly is an organ shortage; the going rate for a liver is below the equilibrium or market-clearing price and so more organs are demanded than could possibly be supplied at current price levels. The paper shows that allowing an organ market to better allocate these products to as many needy patients as possible seems like an improvement upon the current system. However, the proper method of organ allocation cannot be determined without considering the ethical implications of a market-based approach. The paper, therefore, first addresses the ethical issues involved in this matter. Following this is an analysis of the economic, political and social aspects of a free market for organs.
From the Paper
"The current method of allocating transplant organs in the Unites States, under a system administered by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), involves a waiting list. In general, the sickest patients on this list will receive their organs the soonest. However, because the list is so long, most of the patients will die waiting. This situation has led to the advocacy of allowing a free market to develop for allocating transplant organs. The primary objective of this plan is to let supply and demand mechanisms determine who gets organs (and when), as a substitute for the current need-based approach. Throughout this discussion, the central characteristic of a successful alternative allocation method is considered to be a greater number of organs being made available to people in need, compared to the current waiting list approach."

A New Approach to Marketing, 2006.
This paper explores the various strategies and methods for successful marketing in the service industry.

Abstract
This paper examines the relatively new trend of marketing and advertising in the service industry as well as the existing challenges to gain sales and consumer interest. The writer of this paper also stresses the importance of internal marketing which involves 'selling' the staff and personnel on the advantages of marketing. Marketing can no longer be an after thought or an extra service, but must be a vital and integral part of the total push to build any service oriented business. This paper explores several strategies and methods for implementing and maintaining a profitable and successful marketing plan.
From the Paper
"What becomes obvious, therefore, is that the marketing professionals dealing with the service industry may have a greater challenge ahead of them to gain sales and consumer interest than manufacturing organizations. The authors therefore recommend that the marketing department not be isolated from other sales functions of the service industries. The reason again is quite logical: it creates the impetus for change and for building business. The authors' example is that of a restaurant manager thinking that he could improve business by installing a salad bar. The various groups need to work out the planning, from creating space, to developing new product and purveyors to the hiring of additional staff to maintain the ingredients."

Abstract
This paper discusses the approach one would take to prepare, compose and present a full marketing audit. For each given section of the marketing audit the following aspects are covered: types of data and information, analysis, start and finish dates and a list of challenges that might affect the execution of the audit. The result of this paper is to facilitate a full marketing audit.
From the Paper
"The executive summary should encompass the broad conclusions of the research, or in this case, the marketing audit, as well as the recommendations resulting from the final analysis. The interested executive who wishes to more fully understand how the conclusions were reached and to further justify the rationale behind the recommendations may take the time to review the research material contained within the entire report. The executive summary should be a synopsis of the conclusions and recommendations and not a point by point analysis (Tips, 2005, p.23). Creating an engaging and informative executive summary ensures that top management considers the marketing audit a quality product supported by solid research."

Abstract
This paper looks at way in which the government has attempted to introduce environmental protection policies and focuses on where it has failed. The writer comes up with suggestions from a marketing point of view as to how the government could institute stricter control and better environment protection by privatizing, rewarding and encouraging individuals.
From the Paper
"Since the 1970's economists have been promoting the idea of interjecting "market-based" initiatives into environmental protection policies. These economists believe that the use of the market-based initiatives would make it unattractive financially for polluters to continue to pollute at normal levels. Furthermore, these initiatives could achieve environmental goals more efficiently than command-and-control regulations. From these beliefs several environmental protection initiatives have been derived, such as tax incentives, permits, and emission trading. While, these market-based initiatives have shown promise there are strong critics that believe that these initiatives are only a short term fix and serve no real long term solution. "

Marketing and Market Penetration, 2007.
This paper looks at the issue of market penetration and discusses marketing strategy.
1,636 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 15 sources, APA, AU$ 78.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that market penetration is both a growth strategy and a pricing strategy. Before seeking to implement a market penetration strategy a company must perform accurate market research to determine whether or not penetration pricing will optimize growth. Marketing managers must first rule out other strategies such as product development, market development and diversification. The writer discusses that market penetration falls under a cost leadership strategy in that it focuses on providing existing customs with existing products at a lower price than competitors. The writer also notes that some critical contingencies that must be considered prior to implementation are operating capital, engineering capabilities as well as manufacturing and distribution costs. The writer then points out that it is simply not feasible for a company to offer penetration pricing when production costs do not warrant it.
Outline:
Introduction
Market Penetration as a Growth and Pricing Strategy
Market Penetration and the Marketing Plan
Market Penetration in a Global Economy
From the Paper
"In a global economy market penetration goes far beyond selecting a growth strategy with an underlying pricing model. As the bricks and mortar companies of yesterday are transformed into electronic commerce entities there are other factors that must be considered for successful market penetration. Penetration of a foreign market requires extensive knowledge of that market. While technology is forging more efficient paths for market penetration, companies cannot afford to recklessly enter markets without performing their due diligence. The results of rushing to a market unprepared cannot only be disastrous for the company but for the industry and even the entire country where the company is domiciled.
"When executed properly a market penetration strategy can gain and sustain competitive advantage for a firm. A firm that meets the conditions necessary to implement penetration pricing can exploit its strategic advantages and help achieve its overall goals."

"COMPARING AND CONTRASTING THE STOCK MARKET AND THE BOND MARKET IN THE UNITED STATES
This research compares and contrasts the stock market and the bond market in the United States from the perspective of the investor. The assessment discusses advantages and disadvantages of each class of securities.
There are several barometers used to describe stock market activity in the United States. The most widely known of these barometers is the Dow Jones Industrial Average of 30 stocks. There are other Dow Jones index averages, utilities and transportation as examples, and there are other indexes, such as such as the Standard and Poors 500, the Wilshire 5000, the NASDAQ, and others. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is easily the most recognizable stock market measure to most people."

Nursing Implications, 2007.
A discussion on whether or not the implications of nursing pediatric patients recovering from transplant therapy differ from the implications of nursing adult and/or geriatric patients.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores whether or not the nursing implications change with regards to providing care to adult versus child transplant recipients. The paper looks at some of the obvious differences between children and adults but also takes time to explore the many similarities between patients of all ages. It also delves into the philosophical, possibly even moral, reservations some nursing professionals might have with treating certain patients and considers what the appropriate response should be. The paper also looks at the other "actors" - family members, even school officials - for whom the professional nurse must have proper deference and briefly considers the implications that these relationships will have upon the patients' long-term well-being.
From the Paper
"Transplant therapy for children versus transplant therapy for adults - especially older adults - is similar in the sense that both instances demand nursing professionals respect the pain and fearfulness of the subject's family. However, one can argue that any position which cleaves to the view that the two should not be treated differently is nonetheless a rather naive one. For one thing, elderly patients are not attending (or about to attend) school as are children. Because of this fact, Brosig (2006) insists that transplant teams should be in contact with school personnel so as to "optimize outcomes" via coming up with an individualized approach to facilitating the child's scholastic efforts."

Contemporary Marketing Problems and Capability-Based Marketing, 2002.
Examines the need for contemporary marketing policies to change to those based on capabilities, due to globalization.
2,316 words (approx. 9.3 pages), 13 sources, MLA, AU$ 104.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The nature of marketing has changed in the wake of globalization. The marketing organization that both survives and thrives in this evolving environment will be the one that hones its capabilities, builds upon these capabilities and applies these capabilities in the satisfaction of customers. This research examines contemporary marketing problems within the context of capability-based marketing. Essentially, capability-based marketing holds that a firm should concentrate on its most problem-causing customers and attempt to satisfy them. The paper shows that through learning to deal with such problem customers, the capability-based marketing approach holds that marketing companies will develop expertise that will enhance their capabilities to serve all customers.
From the Paper
"The concept of mass production is based on assumptions of stability in both product and process change. Within the framework of such assumptions, both "product specifications and demand are relatively stable and predictable" (Boynton, Victor, & Pine, 1993, p. 43). Such stability facilitates the standardization of products, the centralization of decision-making, the routinization of work and rewards, the development and enforcement of standardized rules and procedures, and the allocation of work on a dedicated basis to specialized tasks. Such conditions, thus, lead naturally to the development of the mechanistic organization (Davidson & Davis, 1990)."

Abstract
This paper examines the ethical implications surrounding reproductive and therapeutic cloning, including issues such as the right to an open future, commodification of children, the risk of psychological harm to the clone, the right to indiviudality and the "Kantian Ends and Means Dictum". It shows that although many moral objections to cloning can be theoretically rebutted, by adopting an approach which views the welfare of the resultant clone as the paramount consideration in the cloning debate, it is concluded that such a practice should never be allowed. It also considers the current legal regulation of cloning and concludes that the status quo should be maintained.
Outline
Introduction
Reproductive Cloning
Current Situation
Procreative Autonomy
Safety Implications
Intrinsic Sense of Immorality
Individuality
The Right to an Open Future
Commodification
Psychological Harm
Human Dignity and the Kantian ?Ends and Means? Dictum
Fear of Eugenics
Therapeutic Cloning
The Moral Status of the Embryo
The ?Slippery Slope? Argument
Should Therapeutic Cloning be Permissible?
Legal Regulation of Cloning
Conclusion
From the Paper
"One of the central tenets of the cloning debate is whether a person has the right, as articulated by Dworkin, to ?procreative autonomy?. He defines this as a right to control one?s own role in procreation unless the state has a compelling reason for denying them that control. Following from this, Harris contends that ?genetic imperative? is a fundamental aspect of the right to procreative autonomy and since society grants the legitimacy of genetic aspirations in so many cases and indeed the use of advanced technology to meet such desires, only compelling and serious reasons could deny people such wishes in the case of cloning. Although Dworkin and Harris assert that there is insufficient evidence of harm to justify interfering with this freedom of an individual, a consideration of the following ethical issues will demonstrate that what is at stake if cloning is permitted outweighs the right of an individual to procreative freedom."

Abstract
This paper discusses the implications of third world military industrialization. Section one is an introduction to the topic, which among others states that it: "would be useful to examine the trends and implications of Third World militarization and arms procurement process to find the factors that shape its growth and development. Section two is devoted to an explanation of what these authors have hypothesized on the subject of third world militarization and its implications: Rodney Jones and Steven Hildreth, James Katz, Edward Kolodziej and Robert Harkavy, Miles Wolpin, and Ross Peterson. Section three describes the key variables that the writers selected authors have used as well as those that the writer would use in his own hypothesis. Section four addresses questions such as, ?In view of your operationalizations, how should you test the validity of the hypotheses?? Section five is a short summation and explanation of how one would recognize whether or not the statistical results from the hypothesis were proved, or disproved. Along with this there is discussion of potential statistical findings in terms of specified parameters, and future directions of this research project.

Abstract
This paper discusses the significance of Marshall McLuhan's theoretical models of media. It suggests that the theory can often be obscured by the aphoristic quality of McLuhan's language. This essay argues, through the application of McLuhan's theories to William Shaw's "In Helsinki Virtual Village" and Longford and Crow's "From the Electronic Cottage to the Silicon Sweatshop," the significance of McLuhan's theoretical models lies in their focus on the often unforeseen social implications of advances in media technologies.

Congruence of Online and Offline Marketing
From the Paper
"A specific particularity of online and offline marketing strategies is their one-way dependency. In this order of ideas, the online marketing is dependent and cannot be implemented without offline marketing. On the other hand however, offline marketing can easily be implemented without the support of online marketing. This is generally due to the traditional and largely established characteristics of offline marketing. To better explain, offline marketing revolves around market studies of numerous elements and sits at the basis of the decision making process. The traditional collection and processing of information requires no assistance from the internet. The online marketing is on the other hand directly linked to the offline marketing as it basically does the same things, only via the internet. For instance, it advertises products and services based on the same principles as offline marketing; but does this online. Then, it promotes and sells the product and also offers customer service, just like traditional marketing; but it again does this online."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In 1976, amateur athletes were tested for prohibited substances at the Olympic Games in Montreal and again at the 1983 Pan American Games in Caracas, Venezuela; the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) banned anabolic steroids in 1973 and began random testing of student- athletes for performance-enhancing substances and recreational drugs in 1986. (Allison et al., 2003). Drug testing originally took place only at Division I football bowl games, and at some NCAA championships; however, since 1990, football players in Divisions I-A, I-AA, and II, as well as Division I indoor and outdoor track and field athletes, have been subject to drug testing all year long. Furthermore, Allison and his colleagues report that all NCAA student- athletes are subject to drug testing at NCAA championship events and at post-season bowl games (NCAA, 1998). Not surprisingly, the use of such drugs has attracted attention from those who would seek to gain a competitive edge over their peers as well as those who would attempt to discourage such usage. To better understand the rationale behind such efforts, the general effects of steroids are discussed further below."

Abstract
This paper uses Simone Beauvoir's pioneering claim 'one is not born a woman, but, rather becomes one? as a beginning point in critically examining different theories which propose how one becomes a woman, not necessarily due to her biology. It addresses psychoanalysis, social constructionism and poststructuralism and takes Freud and Chodorow as exemplars of psychoanalysis, Oakley as an exemplar of the social constructionism perspective and Butler as an exemplar of the poststructuralist position. It aims to critically engage with the theories of these writers and attempts to establish the implications that each one carries towards our understanding of gender inequalities.
From the Paper
"Beauvior?s pioneering work became central to all subsequent theories on gender. A number of writers developed theories, which were based on the same tenants as Beauvior?s ideas. The theories in question can be divided into the three broad frameworks of psychoanalysis, social constructionism and poststructuralism. Examining the work of every writer associated with these positions goes well beyond the scope of this work. Hence this work shall be selective by taking Freud and Chodorow as exemplars of psychoanalysis, Oakley as an exemplar of social constructionism and taking Butler as an exemplar of the poststructuralist position. This work shall aim to critically engage with the theories of these writers and attempt to establish the implications that each one carries towards our understanding of gender inequalities."

Abstract
This paper examines the psychological implications of child abuse. It attempts to explain the problem of child abuse, identify factors that generate child abuse and explore the effects of child abuse on development. The paper reports that the United States Department of Health and Human Services contends that a variety of signs may be evident in a child that lives in an abusive environment. For the educator key signs of abuse may include injuries that are reported to the parent but that are left untreated for no apparent reason (Recognizing sec. 2). The child might display a sudden lack of interest in school coupled with the inability to complete assignments or provide homework in a customary fashion.
From the Paper
"Child abuse has many terrible implications on a child's development. Several explanations of human development have been given through history to understand human behavior. Inside these diverse development concepts, psychology plays an outstanding part. These explanations recognize and explain the processes by which human beings, from a biological base, will undertake a road that will be good for them to reach maturity. Specific Objectives: * To explain the problem of child abuse * To identify the factors that generate child abuse. * To explore the effects of child abuse on development. A child needs to interact with his environment and in this way to establish a good quality of life, that is to say, the necessary conditions so the human being can reach a state that allows him to mature and adapt in a natural way and in reciprocity with his environment. For that reason when the conditions of the quality of..."
