Executive Summary Price is said to be the biggest factor in the marketing mix. If the price is not right, then the product will not sell.

Learning Technologies in Adult Education Any tool “designed to extend a learner’s capacity for effective action and that requires skill and certain strategies to use efficiently” is a learning technology (Burge 2001, p. 146).

criminality also resorts to every possible 'measure' within its reach to 'reform' and 'treat' a convict for his better 'reformation' and 're-socialisation' and thereby to 're-assimilate' him in the social mainstream.
