  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

  • History of Fairfax City
    HISTORY OF FAIRFAX CITY The City of Fairfax began as the Town of Providence in 1805, a community built around the Fairfax County Courthouse. Completed in 1800 at the corner of Little River Turnpike and Ox Road, the area was a crossroads of conflict during the American Civil War with hardships and disrupted lives for everyone. From a crossroads of conflict, the area became a crossroads of commerce in the late nineteenth century when the dairy industry propelled economic rebirth and the building of schools, churches, homes, barns, and businesses and in 1874 the Town of Providence officially became the Town of Fairfax. The early 20th century ushered in a myriad of technological and transportation changes and the emergence of civic organizations, sports clubs, a Town police unit, and a volunteer fire company. World War II spurred rapid growth across the region in housing, business ventures, and population and Fairfax quickly changed from a rural to a suburban community. The Town of Fairfax deeded a 150-acre tract of land in 1959 to the University of Virginia to establish a permanent home for what is now George Mason University. In 1961, the Town of Fairfax was incorporated as the independent City of Fairfax and in 1962 a new City Hall was completed. Rich in history and heritage, residents and visitors enjoy a small-town atmosphere and an abundance of cultural and recreational pursuits in the midst of a bustling metropolitan area. As the City's first mayor, John C. Wood said in 1962 - "Fairfax has a wonderful past and present and an even greater future." HOW DID THE JULY 4TH CELEBRATION BEGIN IN FAIRFAX CITY? Fairfax City’s Independence Day Parade and Fireworks began in 1967 and was organized by the Delta Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority.

  • Smartmoney Rules™ on Active and Passive Investing… and Why It Matters to You!
    SMARTMONEY RULES™ ON ACTIVE AND PASSIVE INVESTING… AND WHY IT MATTERS TO YOU! BY STEVE JUETTEN, CFP® AND DAN MAUL APRIL 2016 Helping you take care of your money so you can do more of what you love! SmartMoney Rules™ on Active and Passive Investing … and why it matters to you! By Steve Juetten, CFP® and Dan Maul March 2016 Introduction You may have heard the terms "active" and "passive" investing. In this special report, we are going to shed some light on these two terms and explain why it matters to you. First, we want to make a distinction between investing and saving. Investing is long-term oriented and the objective is to make your principal grow as much as possible. Saving is short-term oriented and the objective is to protect your principal and make it grow a little. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If an investor wants his or her principal to grow significantly, she or he must accept more risk as defined by the potential loss of the principal. Savers are willing to have less growth in order to have more protection of the principal. Before we get into the differences between active and passive investing, here is a brief background on investing. Investing Basics Most investors assemble a mixture of stocks, bonds, and cash with their goal being to see their investments grow. While some people buy individual shares of stocks, most investors use mutual funds to create a mix of securities. A mutual fund takes in money from many smaller investors and then buys stocks, bonds or other securities with the money that investors have contributed.
