나의 목표

영국에 처음 왓을 때랑 지금과의 나의 동기의 차이는 멀까?
처음에 영국에 온다고 햇을때는 정말 많은 기대와 욕심으로 가득차 무엇이든 할수있을꺼같았는데
지금에 나는 아무것도 보지 않고 아무데서나 서성거리기만 하는 똥개와 다를게없는거같다.
환경에 불만을 가지면 모든것에 불만이 생기는법. 모든것을 새로이하고 정말 큰목표를 갖고 달리기
위해서는,, 한개의 나뭇잎을 보면 안되고 전체의 나무를 봐야하는 법.
한국사람이 없는 이환경에서 정말 외롭지만은 그래도 이경험도 피가되고 살이 되는법
힘내자 조지수 캬캬캬캬

Boom for online fashion firm ASOS

1) Possible reasons for the success of ASOS?
--> The success of ASOS could be due to the factor that there are not a lot of markets which have this unique selling point of selling celebrities clothes. Since, this business is in a niche market, small gap, there will be less competitors which means the price for the product is quite inelastic. Furthermore, since it is selling clothes worn by celebrities, some people who are maniac about certain celebrities will pay any figure number of money to buy these clothes.

2)Who the main competitors are?
--> Main competitors would be first of all those businesses who are selling clothes over the internet, famous brands which might have same brands as the ones that they are selling, and maybe those ones who are selling clothes which are worn by normal people in a cheap price over the internet.

3)Strengths/ weaknesses?
Strengths: USP, Cheap prices, Convenient to buy
Weaknesses: Hard to get clothes, Could be problem in the future if there is no clothes left

4)What steps can they take to ensure continued success?
--> Advertisement, promotion, Special events; sales or etc, etc

Evaluation on the websites

1. Strengths:-Well classified in different sections;recent posts, archives, categories.
-Well explained why people should consider about buying christmas present
for teachers.
-Gives some different options of presents
-Has `search` box which enables you to find things faster and easier
-Has two categories such as christmasrants and webs for searching box, so
makes it easier to find.
2. Weaknesses:-Not undated regularly
-Does not promote the sales of presents in sites
-Bad topics for the categorization on the left side; recent posts,
archives,categories
-The site looks like fake website so does not give me enough

In this website, it just talks about why we have to buy presents or whatever for teachers but do not actually advertise about the products that they can sell through advertising these. As I looked through the website, I was thinking like " okay, this website well organized the categories and persuade customers to buy presents for teachers but what is the real purpose of the site,,,? I dun get it..."
I think they should make their objective more clear and update categories more regularly.

Review on AS Economics Unit F581 MArkets in Action!

After I read through all the papers which is up to about more than 90 pages, I found some good things about the book and some bad examples about the book.
First of all, it explains things such as definitions of the economic terms and examples to support the idea. For example, when it is talking about scarcity, it gives definitions as "Human wants are practically unlimited but resources available to satisfy these wants are limited or scarce. This creates the concept of scarcity, which is known as the economic problem." And it also shows many different forms of scarcity such as; time, resources, information, and consumable goods. I think it is not a bad definition and it also gives some related forms of scarcity, so, so far it is good. But from here they just finish talking about scarcity and just go over to the next topic. I believe that they can talk about the result or consequences of having scarce resource such as that individuals and firms have to make choices due to scarce resources.
This was just an example of one topic, but the point is that for the all other subjects it does same things; definition and little bit of examples. Furthermore, I think if it is review papers, then I dont think that they have to contain so much exercise as this review sheet. In this review paper, I believe about half of the 90 pages are exercise questions, I think it is better to write more details with well- explained and well-organized sentences.
Lastly, this review sheet has problem with organizing topics in order. For example, it talks about some topic and then even though the writer could have written everything related to that topic at one page, but he writes some part in the beginning and some parts at the end which makes so much complication for people who are not good enough or who do not have enough knowledge to understand those complicity.
Oh,yeah, one more thing, it doesnt have that many of answers or diagrams for exercises given, so if someone does not know the answers, then they will be stuck so deeply. Apart from this, I liked this review sheet.

Thanks very much!
