All over the world, different studies have been conducted to analyze various effects of mega-retailers to small and medium retailers. Opening of mega-retailers bring economic advantages to the community such improved infrastructures and competitive advantages to smaller retailers. However, mega-retailers also impacts negatively on small local retailers who strive for survival due to change various variables of the market such as sales, price, and advertisement costs. Loss of jobs can also be directly linked to unfavorable conditions the small retailers are exposed to. This paper therefore analyzes some of these factors giving examples from Napa town in California.
Napa, California is a town filled of approximately 78,000 citizens. Napa is known for its wine, tourist outposts and small community. Being a small community, Napa is very family like society. The town began as an agricultural location; growing grapes and making enough wine. The town supplied the increasing demand of wine to the entire United States. Although Napa has hundreds of family owned businesses, the community is quickly being taken over by large corporations and chains.
In the mid-90’s, Napa opened its first Wal-Mart, after Montgomery Wards had been washed out. Around the same time, Napa also opened its first large shopping center which included Target, Raleys, Office Depot and Home Depot. This was the first time since Montgomery Wards that Napa had experience any real corporations. The small town welcomed these large businesses with open arms, unlike its sister cities St. Helena and Calistoga, who still turn down any large businesses or chains.
What effect does Wal-Mart have on the local community? According to Esther Warkov, Mega-retailers influence competitive strategies in the market which bring changes

on how businesses activities are conducted. Such changes may lead to either reduction quantity of sales or price of products. Looking at just one line of product, hardware, gives a good indication. Since Wal-Mart opened, smaller “Mom and Pop” shops have taken a huge hit. Ace Hardware, Clark’s Hardware, Zeller’s Hardware have all decreased in gross profit. Unlike Wal-Mart, these small shops only sell hardware products at a price they know can cover the bills. Wal-Mart is able to drop the prices on their hardware product because they receive more customers and are able to make their money back selling other products with less of a gross.
Another negative aspect of Wal-Mart coming to town has been the loss of advertising by the local paper. According to Tailor on an article titled Up against the Wal-Marts, introduction of Mega-retailers into a society affects the advertising industry negatively. This was evident when Wal-Mart first comes to town. They took out huge advertising supplements, but after they cornered the market and drove other stores out of business, they stopped doing advertisements. This move paralyzed the advertising industry since other medium businesses had quit the market.
Tailor also argued in his article that introduction of Mega-retailers into a society results to reduction of job opportunities. Mega-retailers get into the local market at a higher level as compared to medium and small retailers. These mega-retailers often have better resources and high capital that offer a competitive advantage. As a result a stiff competition may arise as businesses fight for a portion of the small market size. The stiff competition forces closure of small retailers out of the market leading to

loss of jobs. On the other hand, the small retailers may also be forced lay off some employees to cover for the drop in sales (Warkov p3).
All energy sources have drawbacks. Even the clean hydropower option has negative ramifications. Weigh those against the possible consequences of developing nuclear power, a controversial alternative to fossil fuels. Discuss the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster as well as the 20th century Chernobyl nuclear meltdown in drawing conclusions about risk versus reward of nuclear energy use.

1..Sociological Research… Imagine that you were tasked with redoing Mitchell Duneiers research of sidewalk vendors in New York City. This time, however, you are asked to use survey research. Using the scientific method and your knowledge from Finding Out How the Social World Works, create a research proposal for your project. Be sure to define the steps of scientific method and how you would employ them.
2…Culture….. Using the concepts of norms, folkways, and mores, compare and contrast the culture of fear, the new tattoo subculture, the stereotypes of Asian Americans in American culture, and native Hawaiian culture. Be sure to define norms, folkways, and mores in your answer.
3…Sociological Research…Using the four interrelated components of social structures as discussed in class, describe the similarities and differences between elementary school cliques and gangs. Be sure to define the components of social structure.

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:
Choose 2 countries in the world that have DIFFERENT political systems.
Describe the systems
Discuss what it would be like doing business in each of the countries. Include political risks.
What are their legal systems like?
Do you believe legal systems should be standardized internationally as globalization increases? Why or why not?
How does that affect national sovereignty?
Introduction:
In this section you must provide an overview of your answer to the question; provide
answers to the key what and why questions of your argument/answer. These should take
the form of direct responses to the key issues raised by the question. Your argument
should be informed by a critical analysis of the content of the key readings.
Please keep in mind that in all sections of your response you must move past description
to analysis, this means providing answers to the why questions that emerge from your
key statements.
Exploration of your argument:
In this section of the essay you need to accomplish two tasks. First, you must explore the
key perspectives showing how each is underpinned by different assumptions that
determine the way organisations are interpreted and understood. You must also address
the theoretical implications of these various ways of seeing and how they enable and limit
our understanding of organisations.
Second, having demonstrated an understanding of the perspectives and their theoretical
implications you need to evaluate the different arguments for and against a multiperspective approach to understanding organisations. This evaluation must draw on and
relate to your discussion about the individual perspectives and how they enable and limit
our understanding of organisations.
The whole response must be informed by an engagement with relevant sources,
especially the textbook and the readings provided on the Blackboard. You must draw
upon and evaluate academic debates and arguments. This is not to be viewed as an
exercise in which you make up a response off-the-top-of-your-head.
Conclusion:
You must conclude with your general answer to the question. It should reiterate the key
argument and answer to the question provided in the introduction and indicate to what
extent it has been supported or challenged by your analysis of the debates and arguments
of other authors.
