Advertising In Movies / On-Screen Product Placement : A 9 page paper on the benefits and the results of advertising by placing products within movies, TV shows and even CD-Rom-based computer games.

After Hershey’s Reese’s Pieces skyrocketed in sales following their appearance in the movie E.T., both advertisers and media producers have come to see product placement as a valuable tool: the advertising is inexpensive as national advertising goes, and the added revenues reduce the cost of production of the finished product. Some companies say that product placement is valuable only for brand reinforcement, but research indicates that advertisers can well expect increased sales. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Corporate Social Responsibility : 9 pages in length. Few could argue with Adam Smith’s statement that "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." Those businesses that refuse to look after their own self interests will not be businesses long enough to have any impact. At the same time, however, there can certainly be regard for a larger purpose. For some businesses, commitment to a larger purpose would be simply learning the difference between right and wrong, while others take a more responsible view of the role they play in the lives of their employees, their customers, and ultimately how they affect the world. Avis, Federal Express and Sam Walton’s philosophies are used as examples. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Corpresp.wps
