The supreme church corporation is the Church of Scientology International headquarters in Los Angeles, California. Scientology’s new spiritual headquarters is located in Clearwater, Florida. Known as the Flag Building, it also serves as a land base for the highest staff positions, the maritime Sea Org, whose members wear naval-style uniforms with officer ranks. Other Organizational Names: Scientology Celebrity Centers, Citizens Commission on Human Rights, Association for Better Living and Education—ABLE, Applied Scholastics, Bridge Publications, Criminon, Narconon, Foundation for Religious Tolerance, Sterling Management, Worldwide Institute of Scientology Enterprises—WISE, and The Way to Happiness Campaign.

All Rights Reserved. ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Will it adapt to changing attitudes? Executive Summary The $70.3 billion industry for diet products and plans is experiencing a shakeout as consumer perceptions shift. The industry still fills a need, since about 70 percent of U.S. adults are overweight or obese, according to government data. But attitudes about how to control weight are changing, as many dieters bounce from one plan to another without finding satisfaction. Many give up on dieting altogether in favor of a broader approach that emphasizes eating a wider variety of foods, exercising and seeking to sustain a healthy lifestyle. In addition, new competitors are entering the field to challenge the traditional industry leaders, but the established firms are finding ways to survive in the changing climate. Key takeaways include: The year 2017 was a period of recovery for the industry after several down years for major players such as Weight Watchers. One well-established company, Nutrisystem, has been especially successful in adapting to a changing business environment by seeking partnerships with major retailers. Fitness apps and trackers, once seen as a potential industry disrupter, have had a mixed record, in part because owners often stop using them after a few months.

  • Introduction to Cultural Leadership 2020
    INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL LEADERSHIP 2020 WEEK 1 REAL LIFE APPLICATION KNOWING YOU CAN LEAD EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP CASE STUDY – Indra Nooyi, CEO, PepsiCo 1 The daughter of a conservative, middle-class family in southern India, Indra Nooyi didn’t seem destined to one day run one of the world’s largest snack food and beverage companies. But Nooyi does just that as the CEO and president of PepsiCo, making her one of the top female executives in the United States and probably the highest-ranking woman of Indian heritage in corporate America. Nooyi, who grew up in Madras (now Chennai), India, admits she always pushed social conventions. She played on an all-girls cricket team and was a guitarist in a rock band at a time when it was deemed inappropriate for Indian girls to do such things. Despite graduating from college with bachelor’s degrees in chemistry, math, and physics from Madras Christian College in 1974 and a master of business administration from the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, Nooyi was reportedly remembered for being only a “mediocre student” (Pandey, 2006). Nooyi’s first job after college was for Tootal, a British textile company in India, but she was hired away as a brand manager for Johnson & Johnson to oversee the company’s Stayfree account in India. It was a job that would have challenged the most seasoned marketing executive because, at the time, advertising women’s feminine products was not allowed in her country (Murray, 2004). 1 Peter G.

Tesis para optar por el título de Especialista en Estudios Latinoamericanos. Juiz de Fora (MG): Universidad Federal de Juiz de Fora y Escola Nacional Florestan Fernandes. 174 p. Correo electrónico del autor : [email protected] Resumen El pasaje de una planta que se encontraba fuera del capitalismo a una mercancía global altamente tecnificada está lejos de ser sencillo o transparente. Sin embargo, los análisis sobre mercantilización se han reducido la mayoría de las veces al momento de la manufacturación. Esta centralidad ha implicado concentrar la atención exclusivamente en los tradicionales tres factores de producción (trabajo, capital, materia prima) así como en un único lugar físico (la unidad productiva). Nuestro foco estuvo puesto, en cambio, en develar los mecanismos socio-cognitivos que antecedieron a la fase estrictamente económica y que fueron determinantes en la distribución de beneficios posterior. Se destacan las relaciones entre productores, intermediarios, mediadores y explotadores de conocimientos tradicionales, científicos y tecnológicos, y el papel de las regulaciones sobre los conocimientos. Sostenemos que la mercancía final cristalizó las relaciones de fuerza expresadas en esa historia previa a la comercialización.
