International Strategic Management
Strategy is usually related and sometimes confused by people with planning. But as time course shows in the study of companies, there are different approaches of how a company can develop its strategy. Johnson, and Shcoles, in their book “Exploring Corporate Strategy” had studied the different ways that companies develop their strategy. The authors had formulated and structured three general ways how companies build it, there are: the design, experience and ideas lenses. “Exploring Corporate Strategy” literature explains that these are the main streams how people perceive that strategies are developed, but these streams are not exclusive but inclusive and can be combined to develop each company’s unique strategy.

In act III, scene ii, Antony proves to himself and the conspiracy, that he has the power to turn Rome against Brutus. He deceived the conspirators with his speech during Caesar’s funeral. In this speech, Antony pulls at the heartstrings of the countryman by showing emotions and turning them against their beloved leader, Brutus. The scene takes place the day of Caesar's death. Leading up to this point the people loved Brutus because, reasonably he explains of them about Caesar's death and told them it was necessary. In Antony's speech he showed signs of hatred towards Brutus and the conspirators. He thinks for himself and deceives the people, when he explains how Brutus lied to the people . The plot depends on Antony’s speech.
Antony is the trusted lietenant who is popular with Caesar because he follows Julius Caesar by his heart instead of getting wealthy. You disagree with the argument of killing Antony or not because you don’t want to make bloody. However, after Caesar’s death, Antony will be the best speaker to take the chance to speak toward the crowd in public, and he will make a great speech that make people love Caesar more than you, and it causes people to make revenge for Caesar.
Granted that during the speech, Antony presents, results in controversy between the crowd and conspirators, “When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept. Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. Brutus says he was ambitious us, And Brutus is an honorable man” (3, 2, 90-93).. Antony states that Caesar is not ambitious. While the poor cried Caesar is mourning with them, this the false interpretation of an ambitious man. Brutus does not presume that Antony will be dangerous to the conspirators. Due to the fact, Antony follows the Roman code according to Brutus. However, Antony does not follow the Roman law because Antony yearns to avenge Caesar. Antony is targeting Brutus while also calling him honorable. By doing this, the crowd is starting to despise the conspiracy and their views towards Caesar. Antony uses his cunning tactics to convince the crowd that he does not want to harm the conspirators. However, in reality, the desire is to avenge Caesar, it makes Antony seem identical to a noble man. Antony rather chooses to wrong the dead than wrong, such honorable men. Antony appeals to the emotions of the crowd to influence their perceptions of the assassination and further manipulates the crowd through repetition, psychology, and rhetorical questions, “I should do Brutus wrong, and Cassius wrong—Who, you all know, are honorable

He questions whether Caesar is actually ambitious like what Brutus described with a few examples of what Caesar has done. For example, “Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept. Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. Yet Brutus says he was ambitious” (3.2.89-92) makes the crowd to rethink about whether Caesar was actually ambitious. Furthermore, after the line above, then Antony says, “And Brutus is an honorable man” (3.2.93). Antony keeps mentioning that Brutus is an honorable man after questioning what Brutus said about Caesar being ambitious is right or wrong. By doing this so, it makes the crowd to rethink and doubt about Brutus’ speech. This tactic makes the public to lose their credibility towards Brutus and gain towards Antony. Antony making his perspective neutral shows how honest and credible he
The world of the healthcare environment is fast-paced and implementation of new healthcare technology requires an organization to have a strategic management plan. Subsequently, in order to start building the strategic management plan one must understand the external competitive forces that influence a strategic management plan by doing an environmental analysis, which is the first step involved with strategic planning and strategic thinking to understand the external environment (Ginter, Duncan, & Swayne, 2013, p. 40).

This is due to the fact that in Brutus’ speech he had the heart of the citizens of Rome. He explains to the people that he was being rational, Caesar was hurting Rome and he did what was best for everyone as a whole not one individual. He tries to convince them that he did all of this because that’s what the best option was in a situation that he was in. This logical approach makes him ideal for the new ruler of Rome and its people. Nonetheless, this idea is flawed. Because from the perspective of Brutus, he speaks of Caesar as if he was a bad ruler to the Roman people. However, Antony makes his words seem untruthful when he speaks of the things Caesar has left for the people of Rome in addition to the money. He states, “… Moreover, he hath left you all his walks, His private arbors and new-planted orchards, on this side Tiber; he hath left them you...” This shows that Caesar was not in a way detrimental to Rome, he was kind and beneficial to the
Arabic, like most other common languages, Arabic was spread throughout the world by trade and the conquering of other countries. The majority however, was done by the means of trade. This is because, the Islamic world became the centre of many academic fields such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, philosophy and various of sciences. Therefore, understanding Arabic became an essential skill for traders and travellers alike. This is how, these concepts and ideas were spread across Europe and the rest of the world. For that reason, modern English includes words originating from the Arabic language. These words are “admiral” from “amir-ar-ahl,” meaning chief of the transport: “sequin” derived from “sikkah,” a die used for coin making: and “jar” from “jarrah,” a large earthen

Antony bashed Brutus in the most respectful way he could have; he stated the greater things Caesar has done. The use of Antonys wordplay led to comments from the crowd such as:
It shows the characteristics of all different types of people. Caesar was a ruthless man who would do anything to gain more land and control. Brutus was an honorable man. He was a good friend to Caesar, but killed him because he thought it was for the good of Rome. Cassius was manipulative. He knew if he could get Brutus in on killing Caesar the rest of Rome would approve of it. He put notes in Brutus’s house saying it was citizens of Rome and they wanted him to kill Caesar. Cassius was able to manipulate Brutus into killing Caesar. Antony was the loyal man. He would do anything for Caesar. When Caesar was killed he got an army together and fought against the conspirators. The play Julius Caesar is worth reading because it shows the characteristics of all different types of
My character analysis is on Mark Antony. In the story, “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar” by William Shakespeare, Antony was a loyal friend to Caesar. I chose the character Antony to prove that he was truthfully loyal to Julius Caesar, but they’re some parts in the story where Antony doesn’t seem loyal to Caesar.
