The relationship between marketing practices and sales revenue of vendors in the Dingle Public Market, Dingle, Iloilo
No full textIntroduction, statement of the problem and objectivesIntroduction
The Dingle Public Market is the center of commerce of Dingle, Iloilo. This public market has its regular market operations during the entire weeks of the year, which is from Monday to Sunday. During these days, the marketplace is crowded by different sorts of vendors coming from the different barrios of the town of Dingle. The usual customers of this marketplace are the residents of the town coming from the different barrios and if ever there are other buyers, these are very few buyers coming from the neighboring towns. The population of Dingle, as of 2002 coming from the Municipal Development Planning Office is estimated at around 36,000 residents. The market vendors during these regular market days are estimated at around 250 vendors, both regular and transient vendors, selling different type of goods, namely: fish, vegetables, meat and other dry goods both edible and non-edible. Based on observation, not all of the residents are regularly buying their goods from the Dingle Public Market and if they do their marketing, they would rather buy in the town of Pototan and Passi even though the market days are on weekdays, of which the former is during Tuesdays and Fridays of the month and the latter during Mondays and Fridays of the month. If the researcher has to look at it, these days would be very inconvenient considering that they have to get out of their workplaces just to go to the marketplaces of the neighboring towns of Dingle. Yet, as these regular residents go to neighboring towns simply to buy their goods, they say that: they can very much avail of savings as well as get a better quality of goods in the marketplaces of other towns, plus the fact that vendors are more accommodating in terms of bargaining (tawad system) in the neighboring towns’ marketplaces compared to that of their hometown’s public market. Considering the situation that the vendors in the Dingle Public Market are relatively making regular vending as their means of livelihood, the regular sales revenue that should have been realized from the residents who are having their marketing at these neighbor towns of Dingle, should have added to their own sales revenue and the taxes relative to these sales revenue, should have increased the taxes revenue of the municipality.
Why these residents have to go to other towns just to purchase their goods since these goods are available in the public market? These may be due to the marketing practices such as the pricing and “suki relationship” of these vendors in the Dingle Public Market. For these reason, the researcher has become interested on the topic: Marketing practices and its relation to sales revenue of vendors in Dingle Public Market. In addition to these, what are the typical Dingleanon marketing practices on vending? Do these marketing practices relatively vary as to their operations, procurement and product distribution as vendor in the public market? How significantly related are these marketing practices of vendors in the Dingle Public Market to the gross sales revenue they are realizing in every exchange taking place?
Statement of the Problem:
The purpose of this study is to determine the marketing practices and its relationship to gross sales revenue of vendors in the Dingle Public Market, Dingle, and Iloilo.
Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:
1. What are the demographic characteristics of vendors in terms of
a. Age
b. Gender
c. Civil Status
d. Educational Attainment?
2. What are the marketing practices of vendors in the Dingle Public Market in terms of:
a. Operations
b. Product Procurement
c. Product Distribution?
3. What is relationship between gross sales revenue and each of the following:
a. Operations
b. Product Procurement
c. Product Distribution?
Objectives:
This study will be conducted to determine the relationship between marketing practices and gross sales revenue of vendors in Dingle Public Market, Dingle, and Iloilo. The specific objectives of this study are:
1. To describe the vendors of Dingle Public Market, Dingle, and Iloilo according to age, gender, civil status, educational attainment?
2. To describe the marketing practices of vendors in terms of operations, product procurement, and product distribution.
3. To determine the relationship between gross sales revenue and the marketing practices of vendors in terms of operations, product procurement, and product distribution.Includes bibliographical referencesMaster in Business Administratio
On the Sherlocks, Jane Coleman and County Kildare in the Eighteen Forties
No full textIn the late 1980s and early 1990s the author acquired about 30,000 letters written mainly in the 1840s. These pertained to estates throughout Ireland managed by the firm of James Robert Stewart and Joseph Kincaid, hereafter denoted SK. Until the letters – called the SK correspondence in what follows – became the author’s property, they had not seen light of day since the 1840s. Addressed mainly to the firm’s office in Dublin, they were written by landlords, tenants, the partners in SK, local agents, etc. After about 200 years in operation as a land agency, the firm in which members of the Stewart family were the principal partners – Messrs J. R. Stewart & Son(s) from the mid- 1880s onwards – ceased operations in the mid-1980s. Since 1994 the author has been researching the SK correspondence of the 1840s. It gives many new insights into economic and social conditions in Ireland during the decade of the great famine, and into the operation of Ireland’s most important land agency during those years. It is intended ultimately to publish details on several of the estates managed by SK in a study more comprehensive than the present article, in book form. The proposed title is Landlords, tenants, famine: business of an Irish land agency in the 1840s, a draft of which has now been completed. A majority of the letters in that study are on themes some of which one might expect - rents, distraint (seizure of assets in lieu of rent); ‘voluntary’ surrender of land in return for ‘compensation’ upon quitting quietly; formal ejectment (a matter of last resort on estates managed by SK); landlordassisted emigration (on a scale much more extensive than most historians of Ireland in the 1840s appear to believe); petitions from tenants; complaints by tenants, both about other tenants and about local agents; landlord-financed and other relief of distress both before and during the great famine; major works of improvement (on almost all of the estates managed by SK which have been investigated in detail in the draft book); applications by SK, on behalf of landlords, for government loans to finance improvements; recommendations of agricultural advisers hired by SK, etc. Thus, most of the SK correspondence is about aspects of estate management. But the firm of SK was not only a manager of land. The correspondence reveals only two estates in Kildare, each of them relatively small, managed by SK in the 1840s. These were the lands of the Sherlocks near Naas and of Jane Coleman in the Kilcullen district. The correspondence on these properties differs substantively from most of those discussed in detail in the draft of Landlords, tenants, famine: first, it is relatively small in quantity, and secondly, it contains relatively little on the core aspects of estate management indicated above. Much of that on the Sherlocks focuses on misfortunes among family members, while the correspondence on Jane Coleman highlights the benevolence of that proprietor.
The mechanism of steady friction between seabed pipelines and clay soils
No full textThe large-amplitude lateral soil resistance between an on-bottom pipeline and the seabed is an important design parameter in assessing pipeline behaviour during lateral thermal buckling or under the impact of a submarine slide. This paper describes a series of centrifuge model tests that shed light on the underlying behaviour during large-amplitude lateral pipe movement. It is shown that at large displacements the lateral response is governed predominantly by the passive resistance of the growing berm of soil ahead of the pipe. Using a new analysis of this growing soil berm, based on conservation of volume, the 'local' embedment of the pipe relative to the top of the idealised soil berm is defined. In this way, the normalised lateral pipe-soil resistance, H/suD, from tests encompassing a range of pipe weights and initial embedments follows a single trend line. This idealisation of the response is more consistent than the usual terminology of a pipe-soil friction factor.</p
