Expansion strategies of companies Introduction This research document is going to focus on some of the expansion strategies of companies when entering new markets. The case study in the research is going to be Wal-Mart. Companies always have the aims of widening their operations, and entering new regions is one of the major decisions most companies have to make so that this can happen. Wal-Mart became international in the year 1991 after the grand opening of the Sam’s club in Mexico. Wal-Mart has ever since been growing overtime drastically. Despite the successes in many markets, Wal-Mart has been faced with various challenges in its operations of trying to enter different markets. Walmart’s Global Strategy Expansion Wal-Mart started its international expansion strategies by first focusing on Mexico and Canada as the major areas of expansion. It first opened Sam’s club in Mexico, and this was the stepping stone for Wal-Mart. In Mexico, China and the UK, Wal-Mart resorted to offering subsidized prices to its customers. This strategy did not work out for them due to resistance from other established retailers in…
The paintings “A Sunday on La Grande Latte” by Georges Seurat and “Golfe Juan” by Paul Signac Georges Seurat was famous for the Neo-Impressionist technique commonly called Divisionism or Pointillism. His invention was initially derived from new quasi-scientific concepts on expression and color, but with time Seurat became more attracted to Gothic art and popular posters. Seurat’s artistic and painting theories influenced many individuals from Vincent van Gogh to Paul Signac (Amory). One of his works, “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte,” displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is termed as one of the outstanding artworks of the late 19th century (Seurat et al. 9). This painting and his career encouraged Steven Sondheim to compose the musical Sunday in the Park with George. The paintings I compared and contrasted were “A Sunday on La Grande Latte” by Georges Seurat and “Golfe Juan” by Paul Signac. Both artists used the pointillism style in the paintings. The difference between the two works of art is that Seurat diversified his paints from several single colors and used dull pigments like burnt…
Partial Characterization of Bacteriophages from Indonesia and Its Potency as Biocontrol of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae Novelty statement: Bacterial leaf blight on rice is caused by phytobacteria Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). Bacteriophages isolated from the soil can infect the Xoo. The phage XooX1IDN and XooX2IDN are the first myovirus isolated in Indonesia possess a head and non-contractile tail particle with double-stranded DNA. We found that both phages are potentially able to control. Abstract Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) is a disease caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) of rice in rice-producing countries, including Indonesia, and attack rice in all stages of growth. In the advanced, crop production will decrease by 50 to 70%. Recently, the practical efforts to overcome the problem by using resistant varieties, antibiotics, and sanitation; however, the ability of the pathogen to forms the new virulent pathotypes is noteworthy. Alternatively, the pathogen could be environmental friendly controlled by utilizing bacteriophages as biological control agents because of their specific characteristics to their bacterial hosts. This research aimed to obtain information about the characteristic…
Students protection from the rain The lack of covered areas & sidewalks on University Of South Florida campus to protect students from rain has been undeniably established in the report as not being a mere inconvenience, but a real problem that poses a danger to the safety and security of not only students but other members of the institution.

Piece’s movements Movement I This was the starting movement of the piece. As expected, the musical structure of it is the sonata form, just like most first movements of music pieces. This movement employs what is known as a paired description. Which is why, the initial segment of this program is played twice, originally by the orchestra only, and next by the soloist supplemented by the orchestra. The first section is kind of short and fixed, then the second section starts with the soloist and the orchestra joins him to form the melody played in section one. After the end of section one, section two starts. In the orchestration, an individual notes the deficiency of oboes and the existence of clarinets, causing a distinctive, darker-hued sound. The movement continues with its fast tempo, and we can say that the dynamic of it is soft and not changing much compared to other movements, the only changing of dynamics is when they move from the soloist to the orchestra. Also, the dynamic range of it is normal, there is no big difference…
Bharatanatyam’s tradition What we currently recognize as Bharatanatyam comes from Sadir Natyam, sometimes referred to as Chinna Melam, Dasi Attam, or just Sadir. According to Meduri (2004), the word “Sadir” started in the seventeenth century with the Maratha crowned heads of South India. Seemingly, he meant that this is the way dance is portrayed in the courts. The term Dasi Attam, the Devadasis dance as an aspect of temple worship, is elicited as a more significant function of dance. An artist who was devoted to serving in a temple was a devadasi whose name implies Dasi (servant) of the deva (divinity). The devadasi dance was part of the ceremonial adoration. They continue these practices from ages to ages assisted by the Royal Sponsorship of the devada families who are training in the arts of dance and music and with the dance masters (nattuvanars). Sculptural and the written proof show that Bharatanatyam dances, which are centered on Natya Shastra, have been used across India as temple worshipers (Meduri, 2004). This classical tradition of dance was weakening in the north by constant…
