Jede Unit wird durch eine Einstiegsdoppelseite eingeleitet. Neben der Reaktivierung von bekannten Inhalten und Strukturen bieten diese Seiten motivierende visuelle Impulse sowie diverse Start-up activities, die für das neue Thema sensibilisieren und Interesse wecken. 104 Courting the Consumer: Between Sales and Services Luring the consumer to shop: a window display in a department store START-UP Netcode 40170-008 1. Visual merchandising is an important marketing instrument that aims at attracting the customer s interest and motivating him or her to make a purchase. The photo above shows dressed-up mannequins promoting fashion. What is your impression of the window design? 2. Do research on further retail store windows, using the netcode and collect information on a) the visual display of goods, b) different shop window designs, c) basic rules of visual merchandising. 3. Form groups of 4 students and choose a product of your liking, e. g. technical equipment, fashion, cars, food, cosmetics, etc. Collect ideas on how to present your product(s) and how to design a shop window. Finally, make a draft/poster using clippings from magazines and/or printouts from the Internet. Present your posters in class and discuss your ideas. 4. Read about personality-based messages (p. 105). What are the specific concerns and needs of the five major trait domains and how does advertising address these? In class, discuss how you can target a specific customer personality using the drafts of your shop windows. Marketing Is More Effective When Targeted to Personality Profiles Advertisers spend enormous amounts of time and money attempting to tailor 1 their advertising campaigns to the needs of different demographic 2 groups. After all, the concerns of first-year college students are going to 5 be different from those of retired professionals. Even within a given demographic category, however, there are many individual differences, such as personality, that shape 3 consumer behavior. A new study in Psychological Science, a publication of the Association for Psychological Science, suggests 4 that advertisements can be more effective when they are tailored to the unique 5 personality profiles of potential consumers. While persuasive 6 messages are often targeted toward specific demographic groups, says study author Jacob Hirsh, from the University of Toronto s Rotman School of Management, we wanted to see whether their effectiveness could be improved by targeting personality characteristics that cut across 7 demographic categories. Hirsh and his co-authors [ ] recruited 24 individuals. They constructed five advertisements for a cell phone, each designed to target one of the five major trait domains of human personality: Extraversion 8, Agreeableness 9, Conscientiousness 10, Emotional Stability, and Openness to Experience. Each of these personality dimensions is associated with a unique motivational concern 11. For example, agreeable individuals tend to value a sense of belonging, compassion, and interpersonal harmony, while open individuals tend to value intellectual and aesthetic 12 pursuits 13. The advertisements featured a picture of the phone next to a paragraph of text that was changed in order to highlight the motivational concerns associated with each of the five personality dimensions. For example, the advertisement tailored to extraverts included the line With 10 15 20 25 30 35 XPhone, you ll always be where the excitement is, whereas for neurotics 14, the same line read, Stay safe and secure with the XPhone. Participants were asked to rate the effectiveness of the ads with questions like, I find this advertisement to be persuasive ; this is an effective advertisement ; and I would purchase 15 this product after seeing this advertisement. Participants were also asked to describe their own characteristics on a personality questionnaire. In every case, the advertisements were rated as more effective when they were aligned 16 to match the participant s personality profile. Messages that compelled 17 an extravert 18 to buy the phone, for example, were different from those that appealed to conscientious individuals. We were impressed by the range of motives that can be brought to bear on a single object, Hirsh says. Although the product itself was the same in each case, its subjective value changed dramatically depending on the personal motives we highlighted in the advertisement. In 2012, nearly $530 billion will be spent on advertising around the world. Whether promoting political candidates, consumer products, or sound health and investment behavior, these persuasive communications constitute a significant component of the global economy. As Hirsh points out, This research has broad 19 implications 20 for the development of tailored communication strategies across industries. Personality-based message design may be useful not only for advertisers, but also for fostering 21 any number of outcomes, from health promotion, to civic engagement, to environmental responsibility. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120521115652.htm, 21 May, 2012 [15.07.2012] 1 to tailor sth. to/for sb./sth. zuschneiden auf jdn. 2 demographic Bevölkerungs- 3 to shape here: gestalten 4 to suggest to put forward an idea or a plan for other people to think about 5 unique [ju'ni:k] here: belonging to one particular person or group 6 persuasive [p@(r)'sweisiv] überzeugend 7 to cut across sth.

Factors of the Market Economy The circular flow model The circular flow model depicts the workings of the economy and the movement of resources between producers and consumers. There are various models, comprising 1 different flows: the flow comprising wages and salaries paid by the firms to the households income the flow of money spent by households and received by firms expenditure 2 the corresponding flow of labour provided by households to firms the flow of goods and services provided by firms to households. Additionally, there are certain leakages from the flow: savings (when money is received by households but not spent), imports (where money flows to foreign firms) and taxation (when money flows to the government). In addition to these withdrawals there are certain inflows of money, i. e. investment, exports and government spending which ideally balance each other out. The supply and demand model of the market and its consequences Supply and demand is an economic model of price determination in a market. There are four basic laws: 1. If demand increases and supply remains unchanged, then it leads to a higher price and production rises. 2. If demand decreases and supply remains unchanged, then it leads to a lower price and less is produced. 3. If supply increases and demand remains unchanged, then it leads to a lower price and production rises. 4. If supply decreases and demand remains unchanged, then it leads to a higher price and less is produced. 1 to comprise beinhalten 2 expenditure Ausgaben 3 factor market Produktionsmarkt 4 interest Zinsen 5 rent Miete 6 stock issue Aktienausgabe Vocab-Seiten liefern wichtiges thematisches Lernvokabular für die Unit. 113 Facts

472 Skills Job Interview How to prepare yourself for the interview Research the company where you will have the interview, e. g. the company s history and background (founder, etc.), make sure to use the company s correct name, the company s range of products and/or services. Think of possible questions you might be asked and prepare suitable answers (cf. SB, p. 79). Rehearse a job interview with a friend and have them ask you questions (that you have prepared and surprise questions). Evaluate the mock interview with your friend: Which answers turned out well and which ones need to be improved? What impression did your friend have of you (body language, nervousness, friendliness, etc.)? Think of questions that you want to ask the interviewer. Your questions should reveal that you already know something about the company and its management and structure (cf. below). Dress nicely, neatly and appropriately. Arrive early so that you have time to collect your thoughts and appear calm and relaxed. the company s corporate culture/identity challenges/innovations for the future plans for future expansion approach taken towards managing employees management philosophy What to do during the interview Smile and maintain eye contact with your interviewer. Be positive and try to convey that you are enthusiastic and energetic. If the interviewer tries to lighten the interview with some small talk, be prepared to chat with him/her. Speak clearly and slowly. Do not rush through your answers and give yourself time to think before you answer. You do not want to convey the impression of being thoughtless or superficial. Do not hesitate to ask the interviewer to repeat or explain his/her question. Do not simply answer questions with yes, no or I don t know. The interview is your chance to express your thoughts and convince the interviewer that you are the best choice for the job. But: be careful not to talk too much keep your answers clear and concise. If there is still time (or the interviewer asks you to do so) you can ask the questions that you prepared. Thank your interviewer at the end. I didn t have any difficulty finding you. The map your secretary sent me was very helpful. As you can see from my CV perhaps you would like me to tell you something about my experience in Is there anything specific you would like to know about me? Could you tell me more about? Thank you very much for seeing me. Thank you for your time. After the interview After a short time (ca. 2 weeks), send a follow-up mail/letter thanking your interviewer. Express your interest in the company again. Ask politely when you can expect a reply/a decision. How shall we proceed? When can I expect to hear from you? When will a decision be made? When are you likely to make a decision? I had an interview for the position of a three weeks ago and would like to enquire whether a decision has been taken yet. 486 Methods Panel Discussion, Hot Seat and Round Robin Panel Discussion (Podiumsdiskussion) This activity is like a role play in which the students take over different roles and act out a discussion on a particular controversial topic. Divide the class into groups, each group representing a particular view. Before you start the discussion, inform yourself about the position you are going to take. If necessary, do some research in order to be well prepared. Prepare role cards and take notes on the possible pros and cons of the matter. Act out the panel discussion and exchange your arguments. At the end, you may put the matter to a vote to come to a decision on the matter.

Tips for writing Read the publication thoroughly and underline/highlight key phrases and the most relevant parts. Pay attention to the focus and the standardized terminology used in your assignment, e. g. Write a letter to the editor and assess the author s view of immigration to Great Britain. Name the article you are responding to in the first sentence of the body of your letter or in a subject line. Include your name, address and e-mail address (phone number) at the top of your letter to give the editor the opportunity to verify your identity. Since your letter may be edited, get to the point and be concise (knapp und präzise) and focused. Do not write a lengthy argument. Limit your letter to two or three paragraphs: a) Introduce the subject matter and briefly state your opinion/objection (Einwand). b) Include a few sentences (arguments, examples) to support your view. c) End with a concluding remark and a clever, punchy (ausdrucksstark) line. Keep in mind that a letter to the editor is a formal letter. Use Standard English and write in a matterof-fact style, using clearly structured arguments. Avoid informal and insulting (beleidigend) or offensive language and do not be overly emotional. Start your letter like this: Dear Editor/Sir/Madam, I am writing in response to the article If you do not want your name published, state so clearly, e. g. in the last paragraph. Example: Please note, I do not want my (full) name published with this letter. Proofread your letter to check for poor grammar and spelling errors.

This method can be used to learn something about a character s motivation or behaviour. Additionally, controversial actions or decisions, e. g. of politicians, can be explored and discussed. The student volunteering for the Hot Seat first needs to tune in to the character; the student should try to step into the character s shoes and imagine what he/she is thinking and feeling, what he/she would do in certain situations. You should take notes on the character. The group has to prepare questions for the person in the Hot Seat. Think about aspects you want to clarify about the story, a character s motivations or an unclear political situation. At the end of the activity, evaluate the discussion and state what you have learned about the character, whether the situation is more understandable, etc. Language, Conversation and Discussion, p. 491 Round Robin (Blitzlicht) Round Robin is a method of cooperative learning in which each student gives a short statement on a certain topic, situation or question without being commented on. You can also use this activity after a discussion to give each participant the opportunity to make a concluding comment or to give a short review. Arrange your chairs in a circle. Each student, one after the other, makes a personal statement, stating his personal thoughts or impressions. The other students silently listen to the student speaking. If you do not quite understand something you are allowed to ask a question for clarification. Do not discuss or comment on the statements and do not take notes while listening. You may want to take notes afterwards and use them for reviewing the topic yourself or for a task based on the discussion, homework, etc. Methods-Seiten stellen den Schülern Basiswissen im Umgang mit Unterrichtsmethoden zur Verfügung und ermöglichen so den Zugang zu eigenverantwortlichem, individuellem und kooperativem Lernen und Arbeiten im Unterricht.

Walt is a rough, cynical and gruff man who usually keeps to himself and has few friends. His new nextdoor neighbours are a Hmong family, immigrants from Vietnam, whom Walt begrudges and despises. However, the oldest children of the Vang Lor family, Sue and Thao, are being bullied and pressured by a gang of Asian teenagers, led by their cousin Fong, or Spider as he calls himself.
