Good day. I shall present the results of the survey I have conducted in Michigan.

To begin, the target demographic for this overview belongs to the 20 to 30 age group. The number of male and female respondents are equal, all of whom reside in their college dormitories.

The results show that the participants have a strong inclination to buy laptop computers rather than desktop computers.

This is due to the former’s mobility and ease of use. Lastly, end-users who wish to purchase laptop computers expect high-end quality and portability. Their demand includes being able to use the laptop computers anytime, anywhere due to their busy schedule.

Review: Iknowtheway smartphone application
Posted by: R. Lauren 9/21/2021

I downloaded the Iknowtheway smartphone app, and there are some features I enjoy and some features I don’t. First and foremost, I appreciate the fact that the application is free. Its offline content and user-friendly design are two of its most notable qualities. It enables me to search for nearby restaurants, malls, hospitals, and other landmarks even if I don’t have access to the Internet because it works offline.

Furthermore, the application’s user-friendly design makes it simple for me to learn how to utilize it. It’s a game-changer, and other app makers should take notice. However, It has some serious flaws, such as material limitations and application crashes.

Hello and good morning. I’m Melvin Co, a GTechnologies sales representative. Let me use this opportunity to introduce you to our newest product, the GTech 0901 mobile phone.

The product’s main characteristic is its stylish design. It features a titanium alloy finish that gives it a contemporary appearance.

Now, you might argue that there are other modern mobile phones on the market; what makes GTechnologies 0901 mobile phones stand out?

Well, this device has an advantage over the competition because it has made a few jumps in the video category this year, adding a new function called Cinematic Mode, which provides users with high-quality videos similar to those seen in movies, which people will undoubtedly love.

This leads me to my next point: Gtechnologies 0901 mobile phones can be really useful for folks who want to take high-quality photos and films wherever they go. For those ready to spend a premium on superior cameras, this is a good option. It would be profitable to consign this at your department store.

Clay Tan: Universal Solutions Inc. CEO
by Cris Brickston

Clay Tan is one of the youngest CEOs in the pharmaceutical industry. Tan’s leadership is responsible for the development of Universal Solutions Inc., which has a net worth of $95 million. Employees look up to Tan not because of his position, but because of his management style. Tan runs his business as if it were a start-up.

Regardless of their rank, he communicates with every one of his subordinates. On occasion, he attends meetings with rank-and-file to do bottom-up problem solving. When compared to start-ups, interaction is less structured. At Universal Solutions Inc., communication is occasionally casual.

Tan also prioritizes communication with his coworkers. He is transparent and honest about the company’s current situation, future initiatives, and any necessary course corrections to meet industry demands. He is opposed to the idea of ranking. Despite the organization’s many levels and job titles, there is no pecking order.

Let’s discuss your management style, Marco. Tell me about the characteristics of a good manager first.

Good managers, on the whole, demonstrate maturity. Even in the most difficult situations, they don’t allow their emotions to get the best of them.

Tony

That is correct. What are your thoughts? How would you describe your managerial style?

Marco

I consider myself to be adaptable. I’m a flexible person that can readily adapt to new situations.

Tony

All right. Could you share an instance when you applied
that?

Marco

Sure. During the production of an ad campaign, I once had to make a split-second decision. The client requested that the entire theme of the campaign be changed in the middle of production. Rather than redoing, I decided to make it my mission to integrate both concepts. It was well received by the client.

Tony

Okay. So, would you say you’ve lightened the load of your staff?

Marco

Yes. As a manager, I feel it is vital to recognize when adjustments must be made to ensure that no one is harmed.

Moon Life Philippines, a Philippine insurance company, has joined the ranks of private enterprises that have gone green. The global company is serious about becoming an ecological organization.

To attain an environmentally friendly workplace, the organization went above and beyond by implementing a paperless policy. This endeavor, according to Moon Life Philippines CEO Tommy Holland, is part of a comprehensive program to go green. While the change was not easy, the management ensured that it was done correctly.

This policy obliges employees to reduce their printing usage. Memos and other papers are scanned and delivered electronically. The company’s management has also invested in online infrastructure, which will eliminate the need for paper in 90% of transactions.

Moon Life Philippines used to use roughly 25 metric tons of paper each year. In a nutshell, putting this policy into action will save the company money on paper.
