Kyoto Midtown is a composite urban district of modern buildings surrounding a historic Japanese garden. It features sophisticated bars, restaurants, shops, art galleries, a hotel, and leafy public spaces. Kyoto Midtown aims to offer a unique shopping experience with a broad selection of outlets that include Japan's first flagship boutique and the world's first concept shops. From playful and trendsetting boutiques to prestigious brands valued the world over, it aspires to be a place for people who appreciate the finer things in life.

In the past few years, however, visitor numbers have declined. For this reason, the management of Kyoto Midtown shopping center feels that it is important to develop a better understanding of its shoppers in order to make the shopping experience to the next level. It wants to know what attracts customers to its stores, what customers need while shopping and how they go about shopping. Based on these insights, it wants to develop strategies that are closely aligned with its customers' shopping strategies, needs, and preferences.

The management of the shopping center has hired Hoshimi Kusunoki, an international full-time MBA student to produce a report complete with practical, hands-on recommendations ready for implementation. Born and raised in an upper-class family in Yamanote, Hoshimi is familiar with the lifestyle and attitudes of people visiting the Kyoto Midtown shopping center and the high expectations that they have.

A key aim of Hoshimi's research project is to find out what shoppers would need to increase the frequency of shopping at the center as well as to understand how it compares to other shopping centers in Kyoto competing for customers. Based on preliminary research, Hoshimi has been able to develop the following specific project objectives:

To establish the profile of shoppers.

To understand their awareness and usage of the Midtown shopping center.

To understand how shoppers travel to the shopping center, how far they have traveled, and how frequently they shop there.

To explore shopper behavior and understand what they have purchased or had expected to

To understand their expectations of the Midtown shopping center.

To understand their attitudes to the Midtown shopping center.

Hoshimi wants to conduct a structured face to face interview with 100 shoppers at the shopping center and a competing shopping center. The interviews will take place during the key shopping hours across every day of the week among a representative sample of participants.

Questions:

1. Hoshimi has planned to carry out structured interviews. How do structured interviews differ from unstructured interviews? Which would be more appropriate for this study and why?

2. What are the possible advantages and disadvantages of using face-to-face interviews in this situation?

3. The information obtained during interviews should be as free as possible from bias. How can Hoshimi minimize bias introduced by the interviewer, the interviewee, or the situation?

4. What advice would you give Hoshimi regarding the selection of participants for her interviews?

Energy Choices

Worldwide energy consumption varies dramatically, but the impacts are shared by all. The most commonly used fuel sources for energy around the world are the fossil fuels: coal, oil, and natural gas. Combustion of fossil fuels releases pollutants to the atmosphere, where the emissions from all countries combine to cause local, regional, and global issues. One of the primary pollutants of concern is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide emissions are responsible for climate change and governments around the world have taken steps to control pollution, but not all countries are successful in reducing carbon emissions.

While all countries produce pollution and emit greenhouse gasses, the emissions are greatly unequal across the globe. Consider what kinds of factors would determine how much energy is used by a country, a region, a household, or an individual. What factors would influence the fuel choices made by these people and institutions?

Conduct research to determine the common fuel sources, emissions, and total energy consumption by the United States and a developing country of your choice, such as China, India, or Brazil.

· What are the primary sources of emissions? What is the industrial or agricultural profile of the country?

· What are the similarities and differences in the fuel sources, emissions, and consumption between the two countries?

· What are the countries’ levels of involvement in worldwide emissions regulations?

· Discuss solutions or regulations to energy use in high-demand countries. How can high-use and low-use countries work together to reduce overall emissions?

· In working together to make these reductions, how would you address possible cultural differences and diversity concepts that will emerge because of this partnership? Describe how low and high use countries can bridge cultural differences through strategic partnerships.

· Support your arguments with documented evidence from credible sources using APA formatting and an APA style reference page.

I am looking for some notes on how to get this essay of 1000 words or more started. Please help by giving good detailed notes for each question. I would really appreciate some help so I can get started on making my research paper. Any help is much appreciated I am stuck on how to approach this topic!

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a trade agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico whose purpose is to eliminate tariffs between the countries and promote all aspects of international trade.

There are many arguments for and against the treaty. One of the arguments against centers on the fact that Mexican industries do not have to meet the same environmental regulations as industries in the United States and Canada. The U.S. and Canada have intervened in the marketplace and tried to internalize some of the costs of pollution by placing regulations on the amount of pollutants that industries can emit.

Opponents of NAFTA point out that pollution is largely a free good in Mexico, and that being free to pollute gives industries in Mexico an economic advantage over those in the U.S. and Canada. Is there anything in what we have studied, particularly in Chapter 14, that can point us towards an equitable solution to this problem while still protecting the environment we all share? What is that solution?
