As you know in the weekend, I would like to make you guys laugh rather than roaming around the code. So, another Sunday and time for some laugh. These days I’m putting my hands over the Internet Marketing.And here are the examples of different marketing terms which was given to me by one of my good friend. 1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: “I am very rich. “Marry me!” - That’s Direct Marketing…” 2. You’re at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl.

The Marketing Mix (The 4 P's of Marketing)

The marketing mix is probably the most famous marketing term. Its elements are the basic, tactical components of a marketing plan.

HOW TO HAVE A GOOD JOB INTERVIEW

Of course, the initial challenge is to be called to interview in the first place. This means that you need to give your application form time and care. Don't write it; type it. Don't make spelling mistakes; ask a friend to check it.

As department stores grew in cities, Rural citizens made us of catalogs from mail order houses. This allowed them to get the goods they needed without the has

CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)IN INDIA AND FUTURE TRENDS with special reference to ITC’s CSR practice

CSR in India – Past, Present and Future All of us, who live in society, owe some responsibility towards it. Corporate, which operates in society and make profits from investments, owe a greater responsibility to it. The Indian economy has been growing fast in recent years. So are the corporates in terms of business turn over and profit. However, there are concerns about sustaining this growth on account of environmental and social factors. While the environmental dimensions are opening up somewhat slowly, the social impacts have been sudden. As per its Constitutional mandate, enshrined in the Directive Principles of State policy, the Government is responsible for taking care of the disadvantaged. But in a multi-party, developing, democracy, the development process is often slow due to various constraints which affect the delivery mechanism. The choice before business and the civil society today is either to join in sharing this responsibility or to suffer as a mute spectator. In
