An Analysis of the Success of the Business Model of the Company of Mr. Shah Essay

The initial Consortium that made up the PPP was an ideal group of organizations that allowed them to be successful. There were many things brought to the table by each of the companies Sumitomo Chemical Company, WHO, UNICEF, ExxonMobil, the Acumen Fund, and Population Services International (PSI). Some offered technical or financial support, others helped with project management or manufacturing technology. Some offered improvements to the supply-chain, others researched markets and stimulated demand. I think that the team of organizations around Mr. Shahs business were what allowed the business model to reach the growth it did.I believe what also made them able to be successful was they met together and established clear objectives. This allowed them to be on the same page going forward. They all agreed that they needed a company that would earn enough money to sustain itself and that helped increase economic growth in Africa. When they chose A to Z as their business partner they were getting a company that already had experience in plastics and mosquito nets. It was also already a growing company. Having a local company helped achieve the PPPs initial goals by creating a company that had 5,300 salaried jobs and also supported 24,000 others in the community. This helped on the distribution side too because they were in Africa, in the areas that actually need the nets, and this helped to drive costs down, adding to the effectiveness of their business model.One of the concerns that Mr. Shah had as time progressed was that the competition in the LLIN market was artificial which led to other manufacturers making nets that were not as high quality but were sold like they were equals. This led him to think that his Phase III WHO recommendation was completely worthless. Many buyers just wanted to get as many nets as they could to cover the most people even though in the long run it wasnt as effective at slowing...

Character Analysis of Basil Hallward in The Picture of Dorian Gray, a Novel by Oscar Wilde Essay

The main character in The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian, is a man too easily influenced by his surroundings. He is quoted as saying, Basil Hallward is what I think I am Lord Henry is what the world thinks me Dorian is what I would like to bein other ages, perhaps (Wilde). This comparison falls in line with the moral of the story because Dorian is stuck with eternal youth and beauty even though he has a wicked soul. This causes different views of him by people who observe his daily life. Dorian is a sponge throughout the novel that absorbs everything and allows it to shape his personality, morals, and actions. Dorian Gray takes influence from Lord Henry, Basil Hallward, and the culture of society during which the novel was written. Lord Henry is the epitome of a wealthy, hedonistic gentleman seeking only pleasure, with little regard to cost or consequence. Lord Henry Wotton outwardly propounds hedonism, but it is his extreme egotism that drives him to manipulate both Basil Hallward a

Religious Symbolism in The Blessed Damozel, a Poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti Essay

Dante Gabriel Rossettis poem The Blessed Damozel is full of religious symbolism. There is talk of saints, and the poem itself takes place in heaven. But underneath the religious symbolism is a deep sensuality, that makes one wonder if the white rose of Marys gift referred to in line nine is the gift of Mary the Virgin, or the somewhat less virginal Mary Magdalene. While the Damozel is in heaven, her appearance in heaven, her behaviors in life, and what happens when she and her lover are reunited suggest some less than virginal dealings, yet the damozel is blessed and resides in heaven. Rossetti was the child of liberals kicked out of Italy a heavily catholic country for their extreme political views. While Rossetti himself was not political, he may have espoused similar views regarding politics and religion as his parents. In the poem The Blessed Damozel, Rossetti was given the chance to essentially create his own heaven. Most everything he wrote seems to show that Rossetti espoused

An Analysis of the Character of Chichikov in the Poem, Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol Essay

Dead Souls takes place in the Russia of the late 1800s, where, unlike in America, one must be born into a prosperous family in order to have opportunities. The main character, Chichikov, is clever enough to develop a scheme in which he can rise from being a petty clerk to a respected landowner. In order to do this, Chichikov moves into a new town, pretending to already be a landowner, and begins a quest to buy the names of dead serfs who have not yet been officially reported dead. Each person that Chichkov presents this offer to has a different reaction, starting with the shy and introverted Manilov. Though he does not understand Chichikov's need for the names of these dead serfs, Manilov is a character that is so desperate for company that it does not take any effort to trick him into selling his dead souls cheaply. However, as Chichikov continues his journey, he starts to deal with more clever landowners who become suspicious of his scheme. Chichikov finds that the townsmen know
