E&P started its journey in 1975, aiming to fulfill the niche demands of replacing the old roofs of the homeowners and housing associations. By the early 1990s, E&P mostly worked as a sub-contractor of changing the building roofs, however, in the following years the company became a pioneer in this specialized area and operated overseas markets such Germany, England, and France. In the year of 2000, E&P was taken over by Denmark's largest construction company MT Højgaard a/s (SJP report). Nowadays, E&P is operating as a 100% owned subsidiary with its own profile strategy and business model. Currently E&P employs 530 employees distributed with 380 construction workers within the areas: carpenters, bricklayers, roofers, plumbers, painters, scaffold workers and unskilled workers and 150 office workers (SJP report). E&P is today engaged in new construction, renovation, restoration and building maintenance for housing associations and both public and private devel...

To trace the origins of business, we must journey back in time to when woolly mammoths roamed the Earth. Since 9000 BC, people have traded cows and sheep. The earliest true currency dates back to 3000 BC in Mesopotamia. The first retail stores take up the role later on. By 800 BC, inhabitants in ancient Greece had constructed markets, with merchants selling their items in the city's Agora https://bcwpmktg.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/agora_nysa_aydin.jpg The remnants come from an ancient Greek agora. People would come not merely to shop, but also to socialize and participate in politics. Fast forward a few thousand years, and we have modern mammoths like Walmart, Costco, and Target. But what occurred in the meantime? In this deep dive, we'll look at the evolution of retail and retail shopping in America. We'll concentrate mostly on the post-Industrial Revolution period, when retail truly took off, all the way up to the Digital Revolution and the game changer tha...

The answer is, of course they do. That is why so many people do it every day.However, this does not imply that they should do it alone.When boarding a plane, flight attendants usually remind parents that, in the event of an emergency, they should put on their own oxygen masks before assisting their children with theirs. This is not ageism. It's because we need parents to be healthy so they can continue to help their children as needed. The same logic applies here. We as a society do not provide oxygen masks to our caregivers, despite the fact that they devote countless hours to giving crucial care to their loved ones. We could lose some if we don't.According to Rosalynn Carter, America's former First Lady, "There are only four kinds of people in the world—those that have been caregivers, those that are caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers."As you read this, you may be caring for an elderly family member or a loved one who ha...

Considering the choices made in connection to the thesis’s theoretical proposition for real life application, the thesis reflects on the domain of Ontology. The social constructivist paradigm views that the reality is dependent on perceptions hold by individuals and also the social interactions between them (Saunders et al., 2009). Consider for example, the concept of customer experience is primarily founded on the interactions between customers and the service providers; it is thus very situation specific and personal in nature (Caru & Cova, 2003). Customers construct the reality by interpreting and giving meanings to the course of multiple experiences (Ibid). However, it is not unlikely that individual customers will perceive similar experiences differently as a consequence of their own view of the world.  From experience theories, this thesis will not look at experiential marketing (Schmitt, 1999) mainly because it is not directly relevant with the focus of this thesis....

The federal government's 2023 budget was based on a 10-year interest rate of roughly 3%. That may now have to grow by half a point, which may raise borrowing costs by several billion dollars every year for the foreseeable future. And if interest rates remain high for an extended period of time, as many (including the Bank of Canada) anticipate, the government's debt levels may become unsustainable. Consider the following scenario: federal borrowing costs average 3.5 percent, government revenue and economic growth decrease to an average of 3%, and government spending grows at 3.5 percent. I expect that federal debt GDP will reach 47 percent by 2028, roughly where it was at its peak after COVID-19. This is significantly greater than the government's plan of 40% that year. Federal debt that grows faster than the economy is unsustainable. If the fiscal update confirms this, alarm bells should sound.What can Canada do? As previously said, sticking to the government's earlier...
