About This Topic

A profile is a focused portrait of a person, organization, technology, or idea that reveals defining characteristics, motivations, and context. Students across business, communications, writing, and social science courses encounter profile assignments because they require synthesizing observed or researched detail into a coherent, readable account. The genre demands both factual precision and narrative shaping, which makes it a useful exercise in moving between evidence and interpretation. Profiles also appear in professional contexts — from company reports and marketing plans to formal interviews and funding presentations — giving the assignment practical value beyond the classroom.

The papers collected here reflect a wide range of approaches. Some take a journalistic angle, constructing a New York Times–style profile of a real public figure such as inventor Saul Griffith. Others are professionally oriented, covering marketing plans, entrepreneurship, and business culture observed through formal interviews. A number of papers focus on personal and personality dimensions, including personality testing and the behavioral profile of aggressive driving. Still others blend report and profile formats, such as CV and report combinations or personal shopper profile pages, showing how the genre adapts across contexts.

A strong profile essay opens with a clearly scoped subject and a controlling angle — not simply who someone or something is, but what that subject reveals about a broader theme like innovation, culture, or change. Evidence drawn from direct observation, interviews, or documented sources carries the most weight. A common pitfall is treating a profile as a simple biography or list of facts; the best profiles organize detail around a central insight that gives the reader a reason to care.

Global Financial Crisis: An Examination of One

The results of this analysis suggest that the activities involved in determining the cost of sales are much more significant overall cost drivers for the company than the other areas examined. This is in keeping with expectations for most retail and manufacturing establishments, and Wendy's/Arby's Group can be considered both to some degree (Bradtke, 2007). Facilities costs have a very low effect, and the other miscellaneous costs are an even smaller portion of overall costs for the company. Based on this analysis, it would appear that Wendy's/Arby's Group should focus on the cost of sales as a place to create savings and greater efficiency, though this driver will likely always remain the primary source of costs for the company (Bradtke, 2007).

Perception and on the Circumstance That Selective

The following essay focuses on selective perception and on the circumstance that selective perception may be more dominated by images than by any other factor. We are prone to making impressions, yet as the study in this essay shows it may be images that subconsciously form our impressions and direct judgment to be made about them accordingly. All too often, selective perception gets us into difficulties as witnessed by the Northwest Airlines Flight 259 that crashed after forgetting to extend the flaps for takeoff. This was as minor aspect, yet the pilots completely overlooked it. Selective perception works in social areas of life too where people are regularly hired for certain characteristics that employers observe yet gloss over others. Research shows that much of causal perceptions or interview selection is made of fleeting instinctive impressions where discrete components are aggregated into a holistic whole. This is called a stereotype and stereotypes are instinctive, unconscious, and often difficult to reverse. They direct many of our judgments, for good and for bad, and drive our attention in a specific direction

Coca Cola Before 1970, Coca

Before 1970, Coca Cola was the only major player in the carbonated beverage industry. There were other players, popular in some markets, but Coke dominated the global market. Then, in the 1980s an interesting marketing phenomenon began – the so-called "Cola Wars." This was the term for the manner in which Coca Cola now had to go on the defensive and vie to remain a leader in the soft-drink market. The war is fought in the trenches of product endorsements, the world of advertising, motion pictures, modern social networks, and even events like the space shuttle launch. Although Coca Cola continues to rest on its laurels as the "real soft drink," Pepsi continues to challenge the organization as the drink "for a new generation." Both companies have launched new products, cancelled products, and tried desperately to gain control over a huge and fickle global market (lemon, lime, cherry flavors, new delivery mechanisms, new tries at diet drinks, etc.). What is most interesting from a business standpoint, though, is that a clear winner never really emerges. Instead, we see peaks and valleys for both companies' balance sheets, and a clear increase in carbonated soft drink niche on a global basis.
