In 1987, Andrew Young and Dick England established Kleenmaid a 100 % private owned Australian company. The companies main business is to import, manufacture and distribution of high-quality white goods appliances like cook tops, ovens, dishwashers, refrigerators and washing machines. In 1995, Kleenmaid shifted from a wholesale business to direct retailing, to provide customers a store with fully operational appliances where possible purchasers could use the washing machines or cook everything possible with the help of appliances provided by the store..

The SWOT analysis will have provided you with information on the company's functional competencies. You should further investigate its production, marketing, or research and development strategy to gain a picture of where the company is going. For example, pursuing a low-cost or a differentiation strategy successfully requires a very different set of competencies. Has the company developed the right ones? If it has, how can it exploit them further? Can it pursue both a low-cost and a differentiation strategy simultaneously? (Rosen 1995)
The SWOT analysis is especially important at this point if the industry analysis, particularly Porter's model, has revealed the threats to the company from the environment. Can the company deal with these threats? How should it change its business-level strategy to counter them? To evaluate the potential of a company's business-level strategy, you must first perform a thorough SWOT analysis that captures the essence of its problems (Rosen

Staff members are consulted from time to time as required, rather than having regular that is weekly or fortnightly meetings. The specific departments are also involved in analysing data and providing useful inputs to the chief executive officer who assumes the role of chief strategist and chief entrepreneur. At meetings every month, the staffs discuss organizational issues (Hill et al. 2004).
The Electrolux group holds about a 50 per cent market share with sales of more than A$1 billion hence dominating the appliance category in
Australia. Other competitor include Simpson, Dishlex, Fisher & Paykel are relatively new entrants in the market. A range of high end brands like Maytag, Smeg, Gaggenau, Ilve and Blanco “compete for the same premium dollar” as Kleenmaid St George does (Hill et al. 2004).

The Extent to Which Friar Lawrence is Responsible for the Deaths of Romeo and Juliet
Friar Lawrence is responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s stronger affections for each other because he married them and therefore binding their love. Friar Lawrence also came up with a risky solution to get Romeo and Juliet together for the rest of their lives without anyone knowing. However, it consisted of faking Juliet’s death and Romeo did not know she was not actually dead, but alive. Friar Lawrence’s messenger did not tell Romeo the plan in time because Romeo had already heard of Juliet’s death and had gone to her tomb to die with her. Friar Lawrence is responsible for the star-crossed lovers’ death because of his miscalculated

At the outset, the New Deal changed the Americans’ view of their national government. Historian, William Leuchtenburg argues that the New Deal should be recognized for its transformation of how the American government works. First, he states that prior to the depression, it would have been difficult for citizens of the day to recognize a federal presence in their local communities.i Simply, before the depression the federal government rarely had a direct effect on peoples’ lives as there were no programs such as social security, welfare, federal regulation of the stock market, or farm subsidy programs.ii
Shakespeare’s tragic play about forbidden, ill-fated love, Romeo and Juliet, by Shakespeare, has several secondary characters whose actions influenced the outcome of the play. Friar Lawrence was one of these characters. This godly man has only noble and good intentions. His first action which affected the outcome was his agreement to marry Romeo and Juliet in hopes of uniting the two feuding houses. Another of Friar Lawrence’s actions which affected the outcome was his plan for Juliet to avert marriage to Count Paris. Both actions were done with honorable intentions, but they also led to the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

In the play, Romeo and Juliet, there was a man named Romeo and a young girl named Juliet. Their families were enemies: Romeo is a member of the Montague family and Juliet is a member of the Capulet family. From the first time Romeo and Juliet ever meet each other, they both instantly fall in love at first sight. Knowing this type of contact would not be accepted between the two families; Romeo and Juliet still decided to proceed with their dangerous love affair. Friar Lawrence was like the go to guy in the play for Romeo and Juliet. He was the one they looked to for advice about their decisions, the one that married them, and the one that they depended on when things started to spiral out of control. Friar Lawrence was the person in the play that was most responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths, due to his utilization of poor guidance, judgement, and decision making.
In my point of view, love guides you into making wrong decisions. In the play, Friar Lawrence plays a huge role in both the alliance of Romeo and Juliet and their deaths. He makes many mistakes, because his actions were never thought through. This is why, I think that Friar Lawrence is the main person responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death. He has several bad timings, secrets, and ambition.
A SWOT analysis is simple exercise that could be implemented on multiple subjects including an individual or a whole corporation.

The theory of evolution, as set forth by Charles Darwin in 1859, stated that all plant and animal life evolved over long periods of time from simple to more complicated forms through mutation and adaptation. He also taught that only the fittest of each species would survive. He further postulated that the first living cell evolved in a "warm warm little pond" and that it took billions of years for the present diversity of living things to evolve. At the time, it was thought that the few "missing links" in the fossil record would be soon filled.(Darwin, 1927 ). Today, however, there is today a considerable body of scientific evidence that refutes this entire theory.
Primarily, the lazy and neglectful Friar Lawrence is to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death. First of all, Romeo discovers Juliet supposedly dead, unaware that she is actually not dead. Romeo is obviously not informed about the plan, Friar Lawrence’s thoughtlessness is clearly shown when Romeo says “Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide! / Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on / The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark! / Here’s to my love! [Drinks]. O true apothecary” (Shakespeare V, iii, 116-119). If Friar personally went to tell Romeo about Juliet’s plans, instead of promptly assuming that Romeo would get the letter, then Romeo would have not killed himself. The Friar should have taken the time and energy to make a face to face verbal exchange with Romeo, therefore it would have been merely impossible to
