Thesis advisor: Julia Fisher / The future of imaginative playtime in the lives of children today is at great risk. Currently, 40% of schools are considering eliminating- or have already eliminated- recess from the school day. The goal of this essay is to argue the irreplaceable value that imaginative play has in contributing to the cognitive, emotional, and social growth of a child. In making a case for the importance of play in child development, all three of these areas of potential growth will collectively be considered as true development of the child. To lay the foundation for these specific categories of benefits, it is necessary to understand the general biological background supporting the innate importance of play, as well as the previous work of those who have researched this subject. Once this information is presented, the cognitive, emotional, and social benefits of imaginative play will be explored in more detail, and the effects of play deprivation and play reintroduction will be discussed. In this manner, it is the aim of this presentation to demonstrate the exceptional importance of imaginative play. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2007. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Sustainability is a growing trend and companies are increasingly engaging sustainability in their core business strategy. One example of how this is manifested is through the development of products that are  labelled as energy-efficient. There is a lack of insights into how consumers perceive and gain benefits from such sustainable products, particularly so regarding the nonfunctional and non-economical benefits and into how culture influences those benefits. The purpose of this study is to investigate consumer perceived non-functional and non-economical benefits that are associated  with energy-efficient products,  in order to gain a deeper understanding on how the Swedish compared to the Thai culture influence consumers perception of energy efficient products within the home appliance industry. The literature review regarding the  symbolic meaning of products concludes that the most relevant perceived benefits of products includes emotional-, self-expressiveness-, and social benefits. A cross-cultural quantitative study performed in Sweden and Thailand determines that culture influences consumers understanding of products and thereby influence their perceived benefit from energyefficient home appliances. How culture influences consumer perceived benefits depends on the characteristics of the different cultural dimensions established by Hofstede (2010), involving: power distance, masculinity, individualism, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation.

It has been a trend that employees of new generations pay much more attention to individual leisure than before. Job is no longer the only essential issue for lives, work-life balance has become a leading topic for human resource management. Compare to foreign enterprises which usually provide well employee benefits, the local companies in Taiwan, especially for the high-tech industry, had also attach importance to provide well-planned employee benefits to foster a dynamic and fun work environment for employees. Production or performance is not the only successful factor for running companies, keeping talents within organizations is significant as well. No matter economic or non-economic employee benefits, the business owners never stop thinking for providing innovative and various employee benefits to attract talents. It was obviously for high-tech industry that the employees are under high job pressure and intense competition. Moreover, to have well employee benefit programs for employees could not only help employees achieving work-life balance to improve well-being for reducing business cost, but also enhance labor relations which is no doubt the substantial element for successful companies. This study examined the relationship between employee benefits and labor relations through questionnaire survey on 228 employees from the first 1500 companies in Taiwan. The results indicated that: 1. Employee benefits satisfaction was positively significant to labor relations. 2. Employee communication was positively significant to employee benefits satisfaction and labor relations. 3. Employees with different personal features show different satisfaction at employee benefits, except for marital status and job position. 4. Employees with different personal features show different satisfaction at labor relations, except for seniority and job position. 5. No differences were found within different industries toward employee benefit satisfaction.
