CULTURAL ADAPTATION OF PRODUCTS
No full textIn this paper I discussed the factors that influence the cultural adaptation of products. Globalization determines the companies to operate abroad; therefore the firms sell their products to markets where the consumer patterns might differ from their national market. It is of high importance to be able to understand and to adapt to local consumer habits. The culture has a strong influence on products adaptation in particular, and on international marketing in general. Companies must be able to adapt their products, but, in the same time, to keep the note of originality, so that the global image of brand to gain consistency. Global brands provide a larger advantage regarding the marketing activities and costs. Savy companies are capable to recognize and to use cultural differences in their use.product adaptation, international marketing, cultural factors.
Measuring and analyzing German and Spanish customer satisfaction of using the iPhone 4S Mobile Cloud service
No full textThis paper presents the customer satisfaction analysis for measuring popularity in the Mobile Cloud, which is an emerging area in the Cloud and Big Data Computing. Organizational Sustainability Modeling (OSM) is the proposed method used in this research. The twelve-month of German and Spanish consumer data are used for the analysis to investigate the return and risk status associated with the ratings of customer satisfaction in the iPhone 4S Mobile Cloud services. Results show that there is a decline in the satisfaction ratings in Germany and Spain due to economic downturn and competitions in the market, which support our hypothesis. Key outputs have been explained and they confirm that all analysis and interpretations fulfill the criteria for OSM. The use of statistical and visualization method proposed by OSM can expose unexploited data and allows the stakeholders to understand the status of return and risk of their Cloud strategies easier than the use of other data analysis

A Norwegian grey zone: Knut Rød, Victor Lind and 'The crucial year, 1942'
No full textThis article uses Primo Levi’s concept of “the grey zone” to explore Knut Rød’s involvement in the transfer of 532 Norwegian Jews from Oslo to Auschwitz in 1942. Rød, the police chief in charge of the operation, was subsequently exonerated of any crime on the grounds that he had simultaneously used his position to help members of Milorg – the Norwegian Resistance. The legal and moral basis of this verdict has been questioned by the artist Victor Lind in a series of artworks, including his “countermonument” The Perpetrator (2005)

La carrière de barbu. Socialisation à l’entretien de la barbe et construction d’une masculinité hybride
No full textInternational audienceThis article draws on the experience of twenty-seven men who wear and groom a full beard and on the interactionist notion of career to retrace the “bearded career”. It aims at uncovering the conditions and the gradual construction at the individual level of hybrid masculinities which refers to the more or less extensive integration of gestures, tools and products borrowed from the feminine grooming routine, and insome cases a discourse that fully assumes this feminine side. It thus identifies, on the one hand, several phases that correspond to various degrees of hybridization and, on the other hand, the social factors that determine progress in this. The analysis of the aesthetic norms and tastes of the respondents, most of whom belong to the middle and upper classes, shows how the bearded career is built at the crossroads of gender and class.À partir de l’expérience de vingt-sept hommes qui portent une barbe fournie et l’entretiennent, cet article propose de retracer la « carrière de barbu ». Il vise par là à mettre au jour les déterminants et la construction progressive à l’échelle individuelle d’une masculinité hybride autour de la consommation de biens et services cosmétiques pour la barbe, c’est-à-dire l’intégration plus ou moins importante de gestes, outils et produits qui sont empruntés au répertoire de la toilette féminine et, dans certains cas, la production d’un discours qui assume pleinement ce côté féminin. Il identifie d’une part plusieurs degrés d’hybridation associés à différentes phases de la carrière, et d’autre part, les déterminants sociaux de l’avancée dans cette carrière. L’analyse des normes et goûts esthétiques dont sont porteurs les enquêtés, appartenant majoritairement aux classes moyennes et supérieures, montre comment la carrière de barbu se construit au croisement du genre et de la classe
An Introductory Approach to Risk Visualization as a Service
No full textThis paper introduces the Risk Visualization as a Service (RVaaS) and presents the motivation, rationale, methodology, Cloud APIs used, operations and examples of using RVaaS. Risks can be calculated within seconds and presented in the form of Visualization to ensure that unexploited areas are ex-posed. RVaaS operates in two phases. The first phase includes the risk modeling in Black Scholes Model (BSM), creating 3D Visualization and Analysis. The second phase consists of calculating key derivatives such as Delta and Theta for financial modeling. Risks presented in visualization allow the potential investors and stakeholders to keep track of the status of risk with regard to time, prices and volatility. Our approach can improve accuracy and performance. Results in experiments show that RVaaS can perform up to 500,000 simulations and complete all simulations within 24 seconds for time steps of up to 50. We also introduce financial stock market analysis (FSMA) that can fully blend with RVaaS and demonstrate two examples that can help investors make better decision based on the pricing and market volatility information. RVaaS provides a structured way to deploy low cost, high quality risk assessment and support real-time calculations
