Marketing and branding for non-profit organisations: A case for mathematics for a lifetime.
Get PDFThis research aspires to discuss and analyse the current system of recruiting and retaining volunteers in the events industry, and a comparison with the volunteer programme model existing in H3 Group.
The method chosen for this research is qualitative, as the research includes interviews. In order to get a better understanding, interviews are going to be held with people who are part of the industry and have extensive knowledge of this matter. In addition, with the purpose knowing another perspective, two people will be interviewed who habitually participate in activities as volunteers for H3 Group, specifically for sports events in FMG Stadium.
The results obtained basically indicate that there is a difference between the information given by the person in charge of the volunteer program of H3 Group, and the perception that the volunteers had about their personal experience of volunteering for the matches held by the Rugby League World Cup in November last year.
The difference occurs mainly because according to the information provided by H3 Group, the volunteer programme includes a whole complete process, and the staff is always making sure that the volunteers feel comfortable and confident about what are they tasks. On the other hand, the volunteers think that the assigned task was not of great importance and that many times they got bored because they had nothing to do. Also, they did not receive any feedback on their performance, so they were not sure if what they did was good or not

Examining the opportunities of importing LED Lighting from China to New Zealand
Get PDFThe aim of my research was to undertake a feasibility study on how to diversify a China LED business in New Zealand. This research focuses on the feasibility study of associating with the LED lighting market. The primary analysis consisted of interviewing the owner of the particular business. Because it was a feasibility study it was not necessary to interview customers; I used a qualitative method to gain information.
The overall results outline that the company has a professional team in their group, but they do not have a good foreign platform that can sell their products. The owner has sufficient funding himself to open up a branch in New Zealand., He will use his money to invest in prospective properties with a high return. The discussion was about the artificial lighting bulb which is taking up roughly 20% of the world’s energy consumption. However, more energy efficient LED lights can be an alternative to replace that 70 % of other lights.
The conclusion was that most lighting companies have started manufacturing LED lights, and certain Chinese manufacturers are entering the market with cheaper LED products. LED does contain some poisonous substances such as gallium arsenide. The quantity of this substance is very small and thus LED can be considered as a greener alternative to fluorescent lamps.
The recommendations could be people should pay more attention to LED bulbs in that they are energy saving and environmentally sound, which it is a good way to protect the environment
