Using figure 3 and your own knowledge, explain why the pattern of economic power has changed over time. (15 marks) The figure shows four clear distinct stages that the world experienced, is currently experiencing and is forecast to experience. During 1913, the British Empire was at its strongest forging a uni-polar world wherein Britain was the most predominant power globally. During the 1950s, a bi-polar world came into existence which then crumbled later in 1998 along with the fall of communism. In 2025, the emerging powers suggest the rise of a multi-polar world.
Bargaining power of denim fabric suppliers is low due to the low margins and intense competition. Threat of substitutes is high as there is no switching cost and many other apparel types are available. Bargaining power of buyers is also established as a high threat. Before the recession premium denim brands targeted “aspirational” middle – class consumers, but this target group had traded down in 2009 to less
Market share began declining in 1983 and by 1987 was less than 1% of the market. In 1986 P&G developed a revolutionary new shampoo formula that combined the cleaning properties of a shampoo with those of a conditioner.

Examining internal and external factors affecting the success of the product launch it was shown that the positive factors outweighed the negative. Pert Plus was a breakthrough product and P&G would have first-mover advantage in the largest segment of the hair care market.
“Devolution in Scotland has been the most significant constitutional reform since 1997.” How far do you agree/disagree with this statement? Constitutional reform is a process whereby the fundamental nature of the system of government is changed, or where change is proposed. E.g. in the UK this may include the process of codification. Since 1997, the government was conservative for 18 years and wanted to reform the House of Lords.
Lots of things are made from wood everyday but it has nowhere near the same production that hemp has. Along with what Dean Curran wrote, David A. Bainbridge writes in his article “Ecocomposite: Hemp Fibers” that, “Hemp can produce 3-8 dry tons of fiber per acre which is four times what an average forest can yield. Hemp grows very densely which does not allow room for weeds and no herbicides are needed for farming industrial hemp” (Bainbridge). Hemp produces more fibers then wood, it also produces more quickly and rapidly then wood does. Trees may take up to 20 to 30 years to fully grow before a person can use that wood and timber to create
How has Aurora Textile performed over the past four years? Be prepared to provide financial ratios that present a clear picture of Aurora’s financial condition. Exhibit 1 shows Income statement of Aurora Textile Company for the fiscal years 1999-2000. As mentioned in the introduction, Aurora had remained main efficient plants by reducing inefficient operations, but its sales show downward trend and in 2002, it decreased about 40% to compare performance in 1999. Due to the fact that Asian and other foreign textile manufacturers have been exported aggressively and consumer preferences are requiring higher-quality products with minimum defects, like other firms, Aurora tends to produce small amount of yarns produced with minimal period and provide to customized markets.
The destruction of the rainforest is a global problem. Commercial forestry is a relatively new venture in the tropics. It is usually controlled by trans-nationals based overseas which look for an immediate economic profit and have little thought for the long-term future or the environment. The United Nations suggests that over of the half of the world’s forests were cleared during the last millennium and that the present rate of clearance is 102 000 km2 annually. Of this, 94 000 km2 is in developing countries located in the tropical areas of Africa, South America and South-east Asia where rates of replanting are minimal.
