The Impact Of Tv Channel Design On Emotion And Brand Personality

by

Abstract

The communication strategy of TV channels is essentially based on schedule and channels’ “packaging”. It contains visual and sonorous components that are fundamental factors of media communication.

Previous marketing researches considered product packaging design and studied elements of design like color and form, etc. Taking into account TV channels as a product, this research aims to investigate the channel design impact on viewers’ emotions and brand personality. The advertising credit is one of the main elements of the TV channel design. It contains three stimuli: animation, color and music. Moderate effects of human personality and optimum stimulation level are examined.

Eight Ad credits were conceived for the experimentation using animation techniques, colors and music. The final sample, comprising 512 respondents, was divided into eight groups exposed each to a single credit.

The data analysis method applied is ANOVA. The findings indicate that visual and sound stimuli affect channel design appreciation. Hot hue color evokes emotion response and influences the channel competence perception.

Personality, Context, and Resistance to Organizational Change

by

The article proposes and tests a model of resistance to organizational change. Contrary to most works on resistance, resistance was conceptualized here as a multifaceted construct. Relationships among resistance components and employees’ personalities, the organizational context, and several work-related outcomes were examined. Through a study of 177 employees, both personality and context have been found to significantly associate with employees’ attitudes towards a large-scale organizational change. These attitudes were, in turn, significantly associated with employees’ job-satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intention to leave the organization.

Collapsible Corporations in a Nutshell

by

SECTION 331(a) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a complete liquidation of a corporation is to be treated by a share holder as a sale of his stock, and section 334(a) provides that a shareholder's basis for property acquired on a liquidation is its fair market value at the time of distribution. These long established rules led to the tax avoidance device known as the "collapsible corporation" with which the Treasury Department has long been concerned.! In 1950, Congress enacted a provision designed to deal with this form of tax avoidance, the predecessor of section 341 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. This article will examine the device known as the" collapsible corporation, " the manner in which section 341 has been used to prevent the conversion of ordinary income into capital gain, and the problems flowing from this provision.

Intercooler Effect On Conventional Supercharging Systems

by

Abstract

There are three certain problems in automotive applications that cause environmental effect, cost and comfort problems. Therefore, internal combustion engines are required to have not only a high specific power output but also to release less pollutant emissions. For these reasons, current light and medium duty engines are being highly turbocharged because of having negative environmental effects of internal combustion engines. Due to mentioned facts, there are studies going on to improve internal combustion engine performance. Studies for supercharging systems are also included in this range. One of the most important problems faced in supercharging systems is that air density is decreasing while compressing air. Also air with high temperature causes pre-ignition and detonation at spark ignited engines. Various methods have been developed to cool down charge air which is heated during supercharging process. One of these methods is to use a compact heat exchangers called as intercoolers to cool charging air. The purpose of an intercooler is to cool...

Practical Calculation of Expected and Unexpected Losses in Operational Risk by Simulation Methods

by

Introduction

One of the most difficult tasks in risk management is to set the appropriate level of capital to cover unexpected losses in banks and other financial institutions. Whereas expected losses can be described as the “usual” or average losses that an institution incurs in its natural course of business, unexpected losses are deviations from the average that may put an institution’s stability at risk. Not only risk managers are worried about these types of losses, but also regulators and financial supervisors, hence international standards are being continuously developed and improved to prevent institutions from going bankrupt due to these large potential losses. The most widespread of these standards is The New Basel Capital. Accord, also known as Basel II.

Spectator Injuries: Examining Owner Negligence and the Assumption of Risk Defense

by

INTRODUCTION

People attend sporting events for various reasons. A person may attend for the love of the game, because friends or family persuaded the person to go, or to impress that special someone. However, injuries to spectators can affect anyone at or near the game. Spectators who lawfully purchase tickets to attend sporting events are business invitees and are be able to recover damages from stadium owners who “knew or should have known that a condition existed which posed an unreasonable risk to the spectators, the spectators could not have discovered and protected themselves against this risk, and he owners failed to exercise reasonable care for the spectator’s protection.”

The purpose of this article is to: (1) analyze the current duty of care owed by stadium owners to spectators in baseball and hockey; (2) identify when any assumption of risk defenses...

Multiple Claimants And Insufficient Limits – Can Insurers Lessen Their Exposure To Bad Faith Claims?

by

I. INTRODUCTION

When multiple claimants are vying for insufficient policy limits, an insurer’s bad faith exposure is magnified. If a settlement of some, but not all, claims exhausts the available policy limits, the insured is exposed to ongoing litigation without defense coverage. If the insurer conditions settlement on resolving all existing and potential claims, the insurer may face bad faith failure-to-settle claims from the plaintiff(s) unwilling to await a global resolution or dissatisfied with their share of the policy proceeds. This paper discusses and analyzes an insurer’s obligations to its insureds in multiple claimant/excess exposure scenario...

Rationalizing a Decade of Judicial Responses to Exculpatory Clauses

by

Now Pilate, seeing that he was doing no good, but rather a riot was breaking out, took water and washed his hands in sight of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just man; see to it yourselves." And all the people answered and said, "His blood be on us and on our children."'Pontius Pilate's non mea culpa qualifies as a famous attempt to excuse the effects of behavior, As Fifth Procurator of Judea, Pilate was bound by a duty to punish the guilty and protect the innocent. If he failed to act reasonably in performing either of those acts, he was accountable for the consequences. However, others could bargain to assume responsibility for those consequences, as did the people of Judea in the example reported by Matthew above."

Protecting Privacy From Aerial Surveillance:

by

Introduction

Unmanned aircraft carrying cameras raise the prospect of a significant new avenue for the surveillance of American life. Many Americans have heard of these aircraft, commonly called drones, because of their use overseas in places like Afghanistan and Yemen. But drones are coming to America. Their deployment has so far been held up by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) over safety concerns, but that agency is under strong industry and Congressional pressure to pave the way for domestic deployment. Meanwhile, the technology is quickly becoming cheaper and more powerful, interest in deploying drones among police departments is increasing, and our privacy laws are not strong enough to ensure that the new technology will be used responsibly and consistently with democratic values.

A Three Dimentional Model of Stadium Owner Liability in Spectator Injury Cases

by

Stadium and event-site owners are under a duty to provide reason-ably safe premises for spectators at sporting events. In turn, spectators may find that in certain jurisdictions, they are limited to, or outright barred from, recovering damages resulting from injuries which occur at the event. This article analyzes the duties placed on the stadium and event-site owners to prevent such injuries, as well as the defenses avail-able to stadium and event-site owners.

Spectator injuries constitute a large area of negligence law and there is a commonality among the various spectator sports. This article analyzes stadium/event-site owner liability in a three dimensional model.The purpose of a three dimensional model is to unweave the complex fabric which constitutes liability for spectator injuries.

Various sports are independently analyzed in the first section, which represents one dimension. Analyzing specific spectator sports is some-what traditional. That is, law review articles typically analyze the risks inherent to spectators in the more popular sports by breaking these sports into separate categories.
