3. How many kind of unemployment do u know, what is the worst?
Types of unemployment

Main article: unemployment types

* Cyclical (Demand deficient unemployment) unemployment: When there is not


enough aggregate demand for the labor.
* Frictional: When moving from one job to another, the unemployment temporarily
experienced when looking for a new job.
* 'Structural': Caused by a mismatch between the location of jobs and the location of
job-seekers. "Location" may be geographical, or in terms of skills. The mismatch comes
because unemployed are unwilling or unable to change geography or skills.
* Technological: Caused by the replacement of workers by machines or other advanced
technology (such as artificial intelligence technology).
* Classical (real-wage): When real wage for a job are set above the market-clearing
level, commonly government (as with the minimum wage) or unions, although some
(such as Murray Rothbard, America's Great Depression p. 45) suggest that even social
taboos can prevent wages from falling to the market clearing level.
* Marxian: when unemployment is needed to motivate workers to work hard and to
keep wages down.
* Seasonal: When an occupation is not in demand at certain seasons. For example,
construction workers in winter, ski teachers in summer.

liquidating premiums, trade shows, trade-ins, and exhibitions.
Public relations- Non-paid non-personal stimulation of demand for a product, service, or
business unit by planting significant news about it or a favorable presentation of it in the

7.What kind of promotion activities do u know?

Promotion is one of the four aspects of marketing. The other three parts of the marketing
mix are product management, pricing, and distribution. Promotion involves disseminating
information about a product, product line, brand, or company.

Promotion is comprised of subcategories:

• Personal selling
• Non-personal selling:
• Advertising
• Sales promotion
• Publicity and public relations
• Tradeshows
• Direct selling
• Product placement

8.What are examples of sales promotion?

Sales promotions are non-personal promotional efforts that are designed to have an
immediate impact on sales. Media and non-media marketing communications are
employed for a pre-determined limited time to increase consumer demand, stimulate
market demand or improve product availability. Examples include:

• coupons
• discounts and sales, including Blue Cross Sale
• contests
• point of purchase displays
• rebates
• free samples (in the case of food items)
• gifts and incentive items
• free travel, such as free flights

Sales promotions can be directed at either the customer, sales staff, or distribution
channel members (such as retailers). Sales promotions targeted at the consumer are called
consumer sales promotions. Sales promotions targeted at retailers and wholesale are
called trade sales promotions. Some sale promotions, particularly ones with unusual
methods, are considered gimmick by many.

9.What do u know about public relations?


Public relations (PR) is the art of managing communication between an organization
and its key publics to build, manage and sustain a positive image.

Public relations is the process of aligning the perceptions of targeted audiences (or
publics) with the current realities and reasonable prospects of another entity.

Public relations is about building public relationships.

Public relations involves:

1. Evaluation of public attitudes and opinions.


2. Formulation and implementation of an organization's procedures and policy
regarding communication with its publics.
3. Coordination of communications programs.
4. Developing rapport and good-will through a two way communication process.
5. Fostering a positive relationship between an organization and its public
constituents.

Examples include:

• Corporations use marketing public relations (MPR) to convey information about


the products they manufacture or services they provide to potential customers to
support their direct sales efforts. Typically, they support sales in the short and long
term, establishing and burnishing the corporation's branding for a strong, ongoing
market.

• Corporations also use public-relations as a vehicle to reach legislators and other


politicians, seeking favorable tax, regulatory, and other treatment, and they may
use public relations to portray themselves as enlightened employers, in support of
human-resources recruiting programs.
• Non-profit organizations, including schools and universities, hospitals, and human
and social service agencies, use public relations in support of awareness
programs, fund-raising programs, staff recruiting, and to increase patronage of
their services.

• Politicians use public relations to attract votes and raise money, and, when
successful at the ballot box, to promote and defend their service in office, with an
eye to the next election or, at career’s end, to their legacy.

level in a short period of time
