With constraints on financial and managerial resources, Emily Harris, vice president of New Heritage Doll Company’s production division, has a strong inclination that the capital budget committee will decline to approve both projects. Two projects, named Match My Doll Clothing Line and Design Your Own Doll line, were of main concern for Emily Harris. The first focused mainly on expanding the line to include matching all-season clothing for tween girls and their favorite dolls. The second focused on a new initiative that would employ web-based doll-design software to let users customize a doll’s features to their own liking. The Match My Doll Clothing line currently consists of a small selection of matching doll and child clothing sets for warm weather. Having become quickly successful after having been spotted in the hands of celebrities children’s arms, the brand manager of the line felt it was the perfect time for the line to expand. The investment proposal contained a large outlay for R&D, market research, and marketing to maximize the profitability of quick acceptance and longer-term success for the follow-on line. The following are the upfront expenditures ($ thousands): R&D - $ 625, Upfront Marketing - $625, Investment in Working Capital - $ 800, Property, Plant & Equipment - $ 1,470, Total Investment - $3,520. R&D and marketing expenditures are deductible for
Emily Harris is the Vice president of New Heritage Doll Company’s production division. In mid-September of 2010 she was trying to decide on project proposals for the company’s capital budget meeting in October. Of the proposals presented to her, two of them stood out based on their innovation and ability to strengthen the division’s product lines. The first project, Match My Doll Clothing Line Expansion (MMDC), would extend the warm weather products to an all-weather clothing line. The second project, Design your Own Doll (DYOD), would start with a website where customers would choose the doll’s features, color, etc. and then the dolls will be made to order. The
Children’s child play has become a form of an unrealistic world. Although, it is considered for children to begin creating a creative imagination, the mind fascinates children into toys. Some child’s play toys are not ideal for young children, like the one and only “Barbie”. Barbie has become a worldwide toy product for children all over the world, from the North Pole to the South Pole. These dolls have emerged from one ethnicity to another. In Ann DuCille, “Dyes and Dolls: Multicultural Barbie and the Merchandising of Differences” the author talks about the race and gender differences; found in Barbie. She argues; “Is Barbie bad?” her response, was “Barbie is just a piece of plastic” (459). In contrast, this piece of plastic is not just a piece of plastic to young girls; it is much more than that. A piece of plastic that little girls all over the world wish they could be. Even though, it is only a piece of plastic to adults that Barbie significantly means nothing to them. Growing up, I owned a couple of Barbie dolls. The tall, long blond hair, blue-eyed doll was my best friend and my “role model”. I wanted to become exactly like Barbie. As a child, I thought only beautiful people who looked liked Barbie signified beauty. To my little to no knowledge, I soon came to find out no one really looks like Barbie, except people who want to become like Barbie. In my adolescent years, no one taught me Barbie was “unreal”; no one taught me it was just a figure in my imagination.

“Deputy Marshall Dolls is no longer wanted for treason; the Black Badge Division cleared his investigation and he’s not your prisoner anymore.” Without a tremble in her voice, Wynonna spoke, chin high. There was a joke about her using the Force in there, but she let it slide; somehow the beige of Mercado’s pantsuit just screamed she rooted for the Empire.
Conrad’s approach towards the way she designs was something that really came in handy within the past few months. During her pregnancy carrying her first child. She couldn’t find any maternity clothes that she liked. So, she designed a maternity line with clothes that she did like, and hoped that others would as well. After giving birth to her son, she has had clothing
An 11 year old little girl walks out of the fitting room in Sears as if it is a runway in New York City. She proudly displays her potential new outfit that boasts a sparkly Owl shirt and matching scarf. She makes that smile you make when you’re trying not to smile too big. Today, she had the opportunity to have a shopping spree and stock up on clothes for the long Ohio winter ahead. An opportunity her family wouldn’t be able to give her on their own. An opportunity given to her by Clothe-A-Child.

Dolls have been around for a long time, but no one knows how dolls were created or their main purpose. Some research found that Barbie were created for various reasons. In addition, dolls also started many controversies among parents and scientists. There have been various studies conducted concerning the role of dolls on various aspects of a girl’s life. Some of the studies conducted focused on girls playing with various types of dolls and how the dolls affected their self-esteem and body image. Other studies conducted focused on young girls playing with dolls and how the dolls affected girls as they got older. Another study conducted focused on various types of dolls and how the dolls and media affects young girls on the meaning of beauty. Many of these studies took in account the

In mid-September of 2010/ Emily Harris, vice president of New Heritage Doll Company's production division, was weighing project proposals for the company's upcoming capital budgeting meetings in October. Two proposals stood out based on their potential to strengthen the division's innovative product lines and drive future growth. However, due to constraints on financial and managerial resources, Harris knew it was possible that the firm's capital budgeting committee would decline to approve both projects. She also knew that New Heritage's licensing and retail divisions would promote compelling projects of their own. Consequently, Harris had to be prepared to recommend one of her projects over
A topic I find very interesting in "A Doll's House" that I'll like to explore is the topic of culture and time period. As we know, the setting of this story is in Norway in 1879, and we know woman didn't have much of a voice in anything back then. So an interesting question I have is, is Torvald demanding and authoritarian attitude towards Nora because of his time period and culture. In " A Doll's House" we read about all the downgrading things Torvald has said to Nora, I wondering is it because of the culture and time period where men were the dominant ones and can do and say anything they want without any problems. And woman just take it like Nora, as you can see I'm centering this question around Torvald.
Many playful dolls sold at toy stores, which would easily catch children's interest and attention because they wear fancy clothes with slim body. The fancy dress is so delicate and numberless of graceful details can be found, such as dazzling lace patterns, bright Jewelry decoration, and magical hair style. Also, paly dolls are usually placed in a real-like environment such as a fashion cloth shop, a coffee shop, a hair salon, a nail beauty shop and assorted working places, which are extremely familiar with girls. Moreover, girls learn about the proper roles of womanhood through playing with the dolls. For example, girls learn how to dress up, cook an appetizing dinner, do the laundry, take care of babies, and taking up different professional
