This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the book Indian passenger car industry is considered as the mother industry for many other industries. Industries like rubber, pain, glass, electrical and electronics industries get lot of demand from the passenger car industry and thereby they prosper or suffer along with car industry. The growth of Indian car industry can be associated with the fact that the India's strong engineering base and expertise in the manufacturing of low-cost, fuel-efficient cars has resulted in the expansion of manufacturing facilities of several multinational automobile giants like BMW, Mercedes Benz, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen and Maruti Suzuki. Also, it should be noted that the new generation of employees who constituted the major chunk of the Indian middleclass exhibited more sending orientation rather than saving orientation. The car was once considered as a luxury item but slowly people started treating it as a facility. The Indian car buyers are price conscious and also expect less maintenance expense and low running cost. Therefore, the people, always has to think whether to go for petrol or diesel car since, the petrol car is cheaper in terms of initial purchase price and low maintenance cost but on the other hand, a diesel car is cheaper in terms of higher mileage and also cheaper fuel price (until now). The book focuses on the study that aimed at finding out the change in buying behavior of customers towards purchase of cars and their perception towards petrol and diesel cars. This book would be handy to researchers, undergraduate and postgraduate students belonging to management studies, commerce, economics and, sociology disciplines to understand the buying behavior through a real world case study.

Download or read book Fashion and Beauty in the Time of Asia written by S. Heijin Lee and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How transnational modernity is taking shape in and in relation to Asia Fashion and Beauty in the Time of Asia considers the role of bodily aesthetics in the shaping of Asian modernities and the formation of the so-called “Asian Century.” S. Heijin Lee, Christina H. Moon, and Thuy Linh Nguyen Tu train our eyes on sites as far-flung, varied, and intimate as Guangzhou and Los Angeles, Saigon and Seoul, New York and Toronto. They map the transregional connections, ever-evolving aspirations and sensibilities, and new worlds and life paths forged through engagements with fashion and beauty. Contributors consider American influence on plastic surgery in Korea, Vietnamese debates about “the fashionable,” and the costs and commitments demanded of those who make and wear fast fashion, from Chinese garment workers to Nepalese nail technicians in New York who are mandated to dress "fashionably." In doing so, this interdisciplinary anthology moves beyond common characterizations of Asians and the Asian diaspora as simply abject laborers or frenzied consumers, analyzing who the modern Asian subject is now: what they wear and how they work, move, eat, and shop.
Download or read book Made Up written by Martha Laham and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-10 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Made Up exposes the multibillion-dollar beauty industry that promotes unrealistic beauty standards through a market basket of advertising tricks, techniques, and technologies. Cosmetics magnate Charles Revson, a founder of Revlon, was quoted as saying, "In the factory, we make cosmetics. In the store, we sell hope." This pioneering entrepreneur, who built an empire on the foundation of nail polish, captured the unvarnished truth about the beauty business in a single metaphor: hope in a jar. Made Up: How the Beauty Industry Manipulates Consumers, Preys on Women’s Insecurities, and Promotes Unattainable Beauty Standards is a thorough examination of innovative, and often controversial, advertising practices used by beauty companies to persuade consumers, mainly women, to buy discretionary goods like cosmetics and scents. These approaches are clearly working: the average American woman will spend around $300,000 on facial products alone during her lifetime. This revealing book traces the evolution of the global beauty industry, discovers what makes beauty consumers tick, explores the persistence and pervasiveness of the feminine beauty ideal, and investigates the myth-making power of beauty advertising. It also examines stereotypical portrayals of women in beauty ads, looks at celebrity beauty endorsements, and dissects the “looks industry.” Made Upuncovers the reality behind an Elysian world of fantasy and romance created by beauty brands that won’t tell women the truth about beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buying for the Home examines how strategies of retailers were both arbitrated by, and negotiated through the actions and desires of the homemaker as a consumer in early-modern, modern and post-modern society. Drawing on a wide selection of interdisciplinary work from established scholars and new researchers, the volume is organised around four key themes: retail arenas and the everyday; identity and lifestyle; fashioning domestic space; and cultural practice. Through ten linked case studies, Buying for the Home forces us to consider the fractured space that existed between the world of goods and the middle- and working-class home.

Download or read book Change your World written by Jean Maalouf and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A New Creation" Our very survival is at stake. We must change. The references and values on which we used to depend are becoming relativized and questionable, and the true sense of integrity, responsibility, and purpose now seems outdated. Instead, we seem to have chosen the path of shortsighted success and gratification, convenient arrangements, and sometimes the one-sided fanaticism and fundamentalism. No wonder we find ourselves in such a deep spiritual crisis that makes all other crises possible, probable, and even certain and extremely dangerous. Change Your World: Awakening to the Power of Truth Beauty Simplicity - Change is an invitation to faithfully recapture the basics, deeply rediscover the very reason for our existence, and carefully reassess our references and values. Truth will make us free. "Beauty will save the world." Simplicity will help redefine our priorities. Change will transform us and will transform our world into "a new creation" (2 Corinthians 5:17). This is a profoundly political book; it describes, in an original and engaging way, how to live and govern from our highest and most sacred consciousness. Therefore, do not expect "politics as usual," "politically correct," "well-calculated," and "feeling good spirituality" talks. Expect rather "as it is" articulation, straightforward approaches, and unequivocal descriptions of the "new creation" values. Our survival depends on our ability to be truly human and in alignment with our most sacred consciousness "the mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16). Isn't "contemplation the highest form of activity," as Aristotle suggested? Masterfully, Dr. Maalouf uncovers the simple truths of a happy, healthy, and meaningful life, and discloses the secret of the fullness of life. A contemplative approach to life is indispensable for grasping and living the essence of what it means to be truly human.
