Secondary sources of information are those sources that have been derived from the primary sources and have been refined, some of them even copyrighted or even published. The secondary sources of information that might be present in the Motorola Company include journals or magazines that may be analyzing and interpreting findings by the company about its marketing strengths or weaknesses. This can be important as they can summarize previous evaluations or surveys done by the company, hence helping it in its marketing plans strategies. Another type of secondary source of information for the company is the history books that it owns. These books show a history of what the company was doing a given number of years ago. Looking at the Motorola Company, it was one of the best mobile phone manufacturers around ten years ago. However, it has been overtaken by a number of companies lately due to poor marketing. This history books can help in the recovering of such a company as the old ways that the companies used to get ahead of its competitors can be used to its improvement. The last type of secondary sources of information is a written analysis and report on the performance of a company. This can be done after analysis of a previously done survey. This can be useful for the Motorola Company to identify its weaknesses, hence correct
Write ‘Primary Source’ and ‘Secondary Source’ on the board and ask the student’s if anyone can predict what the difference is.
The American Marketing Association defines marketing as "an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders". (2005) Simply put, marketing is the process by which businesses assess the needs and desires of consumers in order to provide products and/or services to meet those needs in the most efficient and cost effective manner. Truly effective marketers do market research in an effort to understand their target market and create marketing strategies based on the characterization of those in the target area.
Marketing is an important tool for any business. It is how a company makes their product known to the public. Without marketing, the consumers will either not know that the product even exists or will not know all the applications of the product; who makes it, what it is and what it is made from, when came on the market, where it can be purchased, how it can help the consumer and why the consumer should even purchase the product in the first place. According to Tom Ash, Marketing is the process whereby demands for products, services and ideas are anticipated, managed and satisfied (2011).
Secondary sources describe, discuss, interpret, comment upon, analyze, evaluate, summarize, and process primary source, while primary source provides direct or firsthand evidence about an event, object, person, or work of art. The organization my portfolio is based on, is extremely big with five different segments. However, since my main focus will be in the parks and resorts, I will obtain both primary and secondary resources to complete my research. I will obtain autobiographies of Walt Disney to provide a brief history on the first development of resorts and parks. Any interviews, and research data that was already obtain by research. In addition, I will retrieve literature reviews on article, as well as, articles from the Belhaven data
Censoring Sherman Alexie’s book “The Absolutely True Story of a Part Time Indian” may not be detrimental to the author, and it may even be an appropriate act. It is the job of our schools and educators to open young minds to new ideas, while taking care to protect the innocence of the child. Doing this successfully may be a difficult undertaking for our educators as we are asking them to draw a fine line between childhood innocence and the awareness of worldly things. In the handling of this book I believe the censors have done their job.
Secondary information is data which is derived from primary information and can be found via books, newspapers, internet etc. Secondary information is less reliable than Primary information because you cannot be certain as to how precise it is.
When a book is taken in by a movie company to be turned into a movie, some things are going to change or get cut out so that it meets certain requirements. The novel To Kill a Mockingbird written by Harper Lee is certainly not an exception. When Universal Productions chose to make the popular novel into a movie, the director and screenwriters had to make some important choices as to what they kept in and what they didn’t. There are many differences when you compare the two versions of To Kill a Mockingbird, but some that stood out are; the narrator of the movie is an Adult Scout looking back, the school appeared to be nicer in the movie, Aunt Alexandra isn’t mentioned in the movie at all, Scout isn’t shown when she is in class and there is more than one focus character. No movie is exactly like the book whether it be because of budget or time limit, and sometimes it can change the entire tone of the film.
Secondary marketing research is based on information previously gathered by an individual, the government, and other agencies. “Secondary sources are those sources of information that have been collected previously by other individuals or organizations. Secondary sources of information can help you to identify other sources of information, it can help you to get an overall picture of your market or it may provide more detailed information on a specific segment of the market” (Karen Paiyo). There are also various research tools used when conducting secondary research. Secondary research can be acquired from previous reports, public sources, newspapers, magazines, commercials, educational sources, and websites. Secondary research is often easy to find and generally free. It is much more inexpensive than primary research. An example of secondary research is a general manager, of a professional baseball team, gathering a summation of statistical information (of a player whose contract is expiring) from previous
When deeply analyzing the pros and cons between primary and secondary sources, there arises an evident argument that divides like the red sea; can an article be entertaining and academic at the same time while still fulfilling all the goals in which a primary source can carry out? Both primary and secondary articles, when broken down, deliver the same information. The difference is in the diction and the syntax

The French Revolution (1789-1799) saw an expanding rights discourse for the French Citizen. During this time of instability, many French subjects criticized aristocratic privileges and a lack of political rights for the common citizen. However, at their core, these criticisms typically ignored the status of minorities and typically focused on institutionalizing political rights for the French citizen, a status revolutionaries had seemingly made to be quite exclusive. The purpose of this paper is to examine the social groundwork for the French Revolution and the paradox of the maltreatment of social minorities (namely the Jews). To understand why the maltreatment of Jews in France during the French Revolution was paradoxical in the first place,
Motorola was first founded in 1928, making battery eliminators for household radios. In 1929 the company designed and manufactured and car radios, then a new concept, and subsequent sales kept the company afloat during the Great Depression of the 30s.
