One issue of Books+Publishing Based on the instructions provided for this task, the issue selected is marketing. When writing a book and publishing it, marketing should always preoccupy the minds of authors and publishers. For a book to be known out there, it must be marketed. Books that are appropriately marketed are likely to attract considerable sales to the benefit of the authors and publishers. The contemporary publishing industry is competitive, and publishers are becoming more concerned with marketing. The reader can only know a book, depending on how it has been marketed. Books that are adequately marketed, especially on social media, are likely to become favorites among readers across the globe. Today, authors and publishers depend on online platforms to sell their books. This is to insinuate that there must be an organized marketing strategy for the book to reach global consumers and attract them. It is no doubt that publishers are worried continuously about book marketing. It is the marketing of books that keeps them in business, and authors will only publish their books with publishers they are…

Model of environmental sustainability Introduction Currently, environmental sustainability is a business opportunity, unlike in the past, when it was seen to be a burden (Suganthi, 2019). Also, in the hotel industry, it makes sense for the business to invest in environmental sustainability to ensure continuity of the company, better positioning, increasing efficiency, and improving profitability. The focus on the hotel and tourism industry is observed in how they take care of the environment for customers to use their services. That would mean that those who have the least concern on the ecological resources are likely to have a bad reputation among customers, thereby decrease their level of making profits. Through Corporate social responsibility, businesses become self-regulating and improve their social responsibility to stakeholders and the wider public (Schrempf-Stirling et al., 2016). Corporate Social Responsibility is a win-win strategy employed, and recently, it has been seen as a sustainability model and as a competitive advantage. Firms with a high position of environmental sustainability attract strategic alliances, skilled and competent workforce, and improves customer loyalty. That indeed makes financial sense to the…

DISABLED PEOPLE AND SOCIETY According to the “China Disabled Persons’ Career Development Report (2017)”, the total number of various types of disabled people in China is 85 million, which occupies 6.16% of the overall Chinese population (1.38 billion, 2016). From 2008 to 2013, the total funds invested by the central government for the disabled were about 11 billion Yuan. The local fiscal investment was 85.2 billion Yuan. However, the government spends a massive amount of funds for the improvement of disabled people life, and it was seldom to see them on the street because many particular facilities were seized by non-disabled people, such as tactile paving. In the same way, many public toilets did not have accessible facilities; and it was hard to find an elevator beside the stairs. Those problems forced them to stay at home and hinder social activities. Lack of attention and stereotyping was the reason for marginalization of disables people. Having equality in popularized public facilities is having respect to the vulnerable population and a measuring point of social tolerance. Disabled people have rights to be…

Colors around where customers are shopping can influence their buying decisions and shoppers tend to choose what they buy based on colors as well. Firstly, colors have the ability to segment customers into groups and change their emotions and shopping behavior a lot. There is a likelihood that each group of customers have a tendency to accept different colors. For instance, the yellow color symbolizes cheerfulness and optimism enhancing the mood, which is especially suitable for children and teenagers. Whereas, purple evokes elegance, charm, and originality, which is attractive to women and middle-aged people.

Besides, the immigrants are demanded to interact with other residents while minding their daily chores, including shopping and schooling.

Fitness Introduction In recent years, the fitness industry has grown to be massive. For instance, in the year 2013, the sector generated more than $75 billion as revenue(Lembo, 415). Studies have revealed in countries like the United States, and other European countries, about 30% of adults undertake fitness sessions sometimes, while 60 percent perform frequent fitness-related activities (Thompson, 10). The term “fitness” can take a double trajectory. On the one side, it can be recognized as an activity in the world of sport. On the other hand, fitness may be viewed as a sport that can be embraced by individuals in pursuit of leisure, or otherwise to enhance the general wellbeing (Lembo, 415). The Cambridge dictionary defines fitness as the state of “physically strong and healthy” (“Meaning in the Cambridge English Dictionary,” n.p). The terms fitness, exercise, training, and physical activity are intertwined and often confused or used in place of the other. Over the years, there have been advancements in economic status and demographics of the human population, which in turn has provoked the diversification of the meaning and…
