    a recent review in the World Health Organization drug promotion database states that there is a strong association between a heavy reliance on promotion on the part of pharmaceutical reps and an overall less appropriate use of prescription drugs on the part of physicians and nurses. Heavy promotion of new drugs also leads to the widespread prescription and use of some drugs before the safety of these products is fully understood. (Civaner 396)…

    Based on the study of my theme I believe that my thesis will be in the novel Life of Pi, Yann Martel uses the protagonist Pi to demonstrate how faith, ritual and one’s will to live save one from the barbaric and carnivorous reality. The key arguments that I will use to prove this thesis is firstly how Pi uses faith to help him survive in on the boat, for example Pi unconsciously makes a ritual for himself daily to follow in order keep himself busy and so that he forgets the notion of time, with this Pi is able to survive because he makes an effort to forget the amount of time that passes. Another argument I can argue is the different symbols of religion are found in the novel, as the colour orange and how it is the symbol for Hinduism. The colour orange was used a lot it the novel, it showed the survival and hope that God will save Pi, for example when he was thrown in the lifeboat by a sailor he was given a lifejacket that was described to be orange and also an orange whistle. These items helped Pi to survive at sea as he used the other life jackets he found in the lifeboat to create himself a floating island to keep away from Richard Parker. Furthermore the colour orange also symbolizes Richard Parker as he was orange, without Richard Parker Pi wouldn’t have survive out in the sea, Richard Parker was like a friend to Pi without him he would have gone insane Richard Parker helped him lose track of time to help him forget about the loss of his family, also without Richard Parker being there he would have been eaten by the Frenchman that tried to get on board. Another indication that the colour orange was used as a religious symbol is when he made the comparisons between that of Orange Juice, the orangutan, and the Virgin Mary, and would also often bring up Jesus on the cross. An important argument that I can use to prove my thesis is the island that Pi and Richard Parker came across, this island they encountered was a great comparison to the story of Adam and Eve…

    A business entity needs to develop strategies to enable them to keen this competitive edge down to its sharpest point. This can be summarised as an entities strategic intent, the way in which it will apply its internal assets, both tangible and intangible, to its external environment. The first stage, and indeed an ongoing process for successful business entities in developing these strategies, is the careful evaluation of both the internal and external environment. This ‘strategic audit' is carried out in such a way as to distil a large amount of complex data and variables into a theoretical framework which allows managers to apply certain normative statements or conditions to them. The Theoretical Framework is broken down into Internal and External models, (and SWOT which examines both.) There are many different models, but some have become generic to strategy formation and are widely applied. For the internal environment there are; the BCG Matrix, Value Chain and the Strengths and Weaknesses section of SWOT analysis. For the External Environment there is PEST, Porter's 5 Forces and the Opportunities and Threats section of SWOT analysis. Whilst these provide a useful and readily comparable framework, each of the models makes assumptions about the nature of the environment and the nature of the interdependency of the factors (Kotler 1980), and for any strategic choice to be made from this framework requires the manager to fully understand the weaknesses in the models. Narayana (1986) suggests that the validity of strategic models is always questionable as the relationships between all the factors are…
