Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of how an international franchise copes with the speed at which international business and trade are growing. The paper examines the story of a simple American idea (Kentucky Fried Chicken) that became a popular domestic franchise and grew at a phenomenal pace. The Japanese franchise of Kentucky Fried Chicken is presented, and a number of options of how to deal with the rapid changes in the international market, are outlined. The paper offers a possible solution for continued and improved success of Kentucky Fried Chicken Japan.
From the Paper
"The most obvious transformation has taken place within the franchise field (which is really nothing more than a distribution system), where new organizational structures and international goals and desires are challenging managers to develop innovative constituency relationships. The idea of managerial constituencies is not a new one, and academic literature as far back as 1958 suggests that the manager has multiple obligations to multiple interest groups that include, but are not limited to, subordinates, superiors, fellow managers, stockholders and other financial stakeholders, and the local and global community (Schell & Marmer-Solomon, 1997)."

From the Paper
"Though KFC, Yum! Brands, Inc., and the fast food industry in general are lucrative, recent movement towards healthy living and eating has impacted negatively on the industry and now comprises a significant long-term sociocultural environmental variable. Short term, the fast food industry generally does well both domestically and internationally owing to busy lifestyles and the growing number of adults who live alone and prefer take-out to cooking. However, the industry is now being threatened by healthier, swift, sophisticated and cheap alternatives, such as the current take-away sushi boom. Many existing players in the fast food industry have responded to this environmental threat by including healthy food options in their restaurants. Prominent examples include McDonalds and the newer entrant to the fast food market, Subway. However, as KFC is primarily popular for its fried (and therefore, unhealthy) chicken and related fried products, the company has not adjusted to this threat at a competitive level."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The impact of the economy, culture, globalization, and legislation on KFC and the fast food industry at large has already been examined. However, the industry is impacted not only by political and societal influences, such as environmental responsibility and healthy eating, but also by technological advancements over recent years. In recent decades, the increased focus on technology, such as television, the Internet and advertising through these mediums, has proven beneficial for the industry. Fast food companies put a lot of money into television advertising, resulting in something of a "warring" atmosphere when it comes to producing the more effective commercial."

Abstract
Fast food advertising has been allowed to profess anything, from the ?healthy quality? of their food to the food company?s contribution to homeless kids. While fast food giants are quick to take any of their detractors to court for any erroneous allegations made by members of the public, it doesn?t stop these same companies from committing libel themselves through their promotions. However, most fast food companies steer clear of making outrageous claims such any health benefits, preferring to concentrate on marketing their service?s convenience, economy and perceived lifestyle. This paper endeavors to highlight this discrepancy in the industry and showcases three fast food companies and their advertising efforts in that regard.
From the Paper
"Fast food outlets have become the messiah for the millions of people out there who don?t have more than five minutes to spare in grabbing a bite to eat or for the millions of mothers desperate for one night of not cooking dinner for the family. There is certainly a lot to choose from. All one has to do is switch on the television, turn on the radio, go to the cinemas or even walk down the street. People from all walks of life are bombarded each and every day with jingles and gimmicks and catchcries, inviting the consumer to partake of their fried or greasy menu. Some appeal to the consumer?s need for convenience, others appeal to the consumer?s economic constraints, and others appeal to the consumer?s perceived utopian lifestyle. Some even go so far as to appeal to the consumer?s interest in healthy eating. But are these appeals from fast food conglomerates based on truth or are they just trying to beef up their profits duplicitously? This paper endeavors to explore some claims that fast food companies have made in the past through their advertising. Three fast food giants will also be held under the microscope and studied for any evidence of duplicity through their advertising."

Employee and Customer Satisfaction, 2000.

From the Paper
"Employee satisfaction is too often ignored by employers beyond fulfilling the basic requirements for acquiring and retaining workers, and the real link that exists between employee job satisfaction and customer treatment, and so customer satisfaction, is not noted or developed. The literature shows that companies that do make this connection and work to achieve employee satisfaction are rewarded with better customer treatment and so better customer satisfaction and the consequent retention of those customers.
Sellers & McGowan (1993) note this with reference to banking, a business which they say follows management practices that mitigate against employee satisfaction in many respects. They recommend that to retain customers, a company should retain workers. Buyers deal primarily with regular employees rather than..."

Abstract
History reveals that Kentucky had fertile land, water, forests and mineral wealth. No less significant was the access to a great abundance of fresh, unpolluted water, an element indispensable in the location and enjoyment of a homestead. This paper examines the use and abuse of Kentucky's environment.
Paper Outline:
Kentucky's Natural Environment
Sources of Water
Water Contamination
Sources of Surface-Water Pollution
Surface Water Quality
What are the Potential Sources of Ground-Water Contamination?
Impact on Ground-Water Quality
Pollution Control Program
From the Paper
"Pioneers who filtered through Cumberland Gap strayed west down the Ohio River came with the starry-eyed dream of settling in a new Eden (Berry, 1991). They entered a land effervescing with fresh unpolluted water, planting a fresh agrarian economy on virgin soil, and in a forest of a seemingly unlimited timber supply. The nomenclature of Kentucky is highly meditative of these facts (Berry, 1991)."

Abstract
This paper reviews Robert Fried's article "The Heart of the Matter". It looks at his plea for passion in teaching and his definition of and requirements for a teacher. It explores Fried?s claim that students take their cues from the teacher and so reflect back the attitude of the teacher, and the idea of concentration on one area of knowledge. The paper concludes with criticisms on the article.
From the Paper
"Robert Fried's article "The Heart of the Matter" might be seen as a reaction to concerns raised in recent years that education is not effective and that teachers are not reaching their students. Fried would agree that many teachers do not, and he suggests that one reason might be that they are not passionate about teaching. Fried himself is clearly passionate about teaching and about getting teachers to see the need to be more passionate and so to encourage students to learn, or more specifically to get students to participate in their own learning. Fried makes a good case for the value of passion in teaching, a term he defines and explains, though his argument is not as clearly presented as it could be because he tends to be too indirect in the way he develops that argument. He is also less effective in telling teachers how to be passionate. Indeed, his idea of passionate teaching is in many ways too general to be of help. A teacher who was already passionate would recognize him or herself in what Fried writes, but a teacher who was not already passionate would not find a good guide on how to become passionate in these pages."

Abstract
Few issues transcend all economic, educational, ethnic, occupational, political, religious, and social lines and impact all individuals, either directly or indirectly. Poverty is one such issue, affecting all individuals and society, both economically and non-economically. The paper shows that the main causes of poverty are relatively simple to identify, i.e., lack of affordable housing, lack of high-paying jobs for lower and middle class wage earners, rising unemployment, etc. However, few effective and viable solutions to eliminating and/or reducing poverty have been identified and implemented. This paper analyzes and examines the multitude of issues related to African-American poverty in Kentucky, United States. This paper concludes with ways to eliminate and reduce poverty among minority groups in Kentucky and poverty in general.
From the Paper
"Clearly poverty among Blacks/African-Americans in Kentucky and poverty in general is a persistent and severe issue. There are several possible ways to eliminate and/or reduce poverty among Blacks/African-Americans in Kentucky and among individuals in general. One potential solution to hunger and poverty is to strengthen Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the federal safety net program for low- or no-income families that allows states flexibility to design and implement its own TANF plan. Another possible solution is to increase the educational and employment opportunities available to individuals currently living in poverty as well as individuals at risk of becoming impoverished. By taking a proactive stance regarding poverty and offering individuals affordable educational and employment opportunities, there is potential to break the cycle of poverty."

Abstract
The paper compares the main characters in Kate Chopin's "The Awakening" and Fannie Flagg's "Fried Green Tomatoes." The paper explains how women bonded to maintain some meaning and self-expression in a culture against a patriarchy that often undermined female identity.
From the Paper
"In Chopin's "The Awakening" and Flagg's "Fried Green Tomatoes" we are treated to a variety of female characters whose varying degree of bonds act as a shield against patriarchy and cultures that oppress self-awakening. So too, the different relationships that develop among the female characters often act as a shield against the condition of being a woman in cultures that dictate roles and behaviors that are limiting."

Clement Greenberg's and Michael Fried?s Aesthetics, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explores and compares the influence of Clement Greenberg's and Michael Fried's ideas on art and aesthetics and how the reaction to those ideas impacted the development of late Modernism and its transition into Postmodernism.
From the Paper
"Central to both the theoretical stances of Greenberg and Fried is the non-referential nature of high art and the non-contingent nature of artistic practice. This forms part of an ?elitist? view of art, which was to contrast sharply with later postmodern concepts of artistic practice that emphasize an egalitarian ethos and a breaking down of the barriers between the different art forms. As will become clear, for Greenberg and Fried correct artistic practice could not be contingent on and referable to other areas besides that specific mode of art. In other words, ?proper? or pure art can have no subject and cannot be related to social or any other external areas. For both Greenberg and Fried the subject and correct developmental path of art was art itself. This becomes clear if the central tenets of modern formalism are analyzed."
