Abstract For the first time in India’s general elections of 2014, social media was used extensively by certain political parties and candidates. It was no different in Karnataka. Social media provided an alternative forum for parties and candidates to reach out voters. Social media has turned into additional vote base for political parties and candidates points out this study. The two national parties and one regional party made efforts to make use of the Internet based tools, though their efforts, interest and investments in terms of money were not equal. However, the social media tools used by them were more or less the same. The two national parties – the Indian National Congress (INC) commonly referred as the Congress party, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) – were way ahead of other national parties when it comes to using social media.

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: 12 1. Hundreds of thousands of our qualified youngsters take off from different international airports every year for higher studies or highly lucrative jobs in the Us, the UK, Germany, France and Australia. And most of these Indians prefer to settle abroad, attracted by the facilities and the higher quality of life provided by these countries. We have been crying hoarse about brain drain from India over the last five decades or more, without going in for a well-set blueprint to check the counter-productive phenomenon. Some of the public schools in our metros and our IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) and IIMs(Indian Institutes of Management) are providing world-class education. One might wonder that having spent a lot on infrastructure, training and other facilities and the best teaching staff, can the Government and the people of India look away as the talent, assiduously nurtured in India, is utilized by other countries for their development and excellence in different fields. 2. During the decades long debate on brain drain, it was said that our youngsters leave India just because excellence is neither recognized nor rewarded – In India.

  • INTRODUCTION to the SUBJECT: There Is Large No. of Brands Available in the Market. Some Are Very Familiar and Rest Are Somewhat
    INTRODUCTION TO THE SUBJECT: There is large no. of brands available in the market. Some are very familiar and rest are somewhat. What are the things that distinguish those from rest? It may be brand name, advertisement, royal heritage and may be celebrity endorser who endorses them. E.g. Raid and Taylor has the rich heritage of roping in various cascades of James Bond 007 as their brand endorser and it has helped them strongly to build their brand. Businesses have long sought to distract and attract the attention of potential customers that live in a world of ever-increasing commercial bombardment. Everyday consumers are exposed to thousands of voices and images in magazines, newspapers, and on billboards, websites, radio and television. Every brand attempts to steal at least a fraction of an unsuspecting person's time to inform him or her of the amazing and different attributes of the product at hand. Because of the constant media saturation that most people experience daily, they eventually become numb to the standard marketing techniques. The challenge of the marketer is to find a hook that will hold the subject's attention. Also from a marketing communications (marcoms) perspective, it is vital that firms design strategies that help to underpin competitive differential advantage for the firm's product or services. Accordingly, marcom activities back-up other elements in the marketing mix such as designing, branding, packaging, pricing, and place. The term Celebrity refers to an individual who is known to the public (actor, sports figure, entertainer, etc.) for his or her achievements in areas other than that of the product class endorsed (Friedman and Friedman, 1979).
