Issue analysis and Information Summary: * The energy market is expanding rapidly and Moren Corporation must expand their operation in order to grab this demand * Traditionally they used towers to transfer the energy but not there was a new method using ornamental tubular poles which was more efficient. * They have never used this new method and the supplying companies they have worked with in the past have dealt with this slightly * a line using poles costs twice as much as the conventional towers * the tower companies and erection companies that Maren had dealt with in the past would not have the capacity to handle all the elements of the new pole concept * Must keep the engineering design phase at a budget of 1.5-1.8 million * two of the design companies: Travers and Bolton (T&B) and Crown Engineering (CE) Moren had worked with in the past and they have performed satisfactorily.

Alternative Solution i) Travers & Bolton: * This company has some experience with the new tubular transmitting lines, and they have worked with Moren in the past performing satisfactorily.
Could Hubspot not hire and assign a proportional split of internal software engineers, and sales support staff each dedicated to the market segments Hubspot serves? Verizon offers solutions, products, updates, and customer service for individual users, small businesses and large corporations, all across a multitude of products. I believe the argument that Hubspot should focus on either Marketer Marys or Owner Ollies entirely is a fallacy. Although Marketer Marys (MM) have a higher CLV, lower churn rate, and appear to be growing faster compared to Owner Ollie, (OO) it does not mean that OO’s aren’t profitable and should be ignored. In fact, it is entirely possible that OOs could be more profitable given the market size of OOs is much larger, and ‘Small-size businesses’
Like many startup companies, TSI had to cut costs when it launched a few years ago. To save money, the company decided not to use enterprise-class operating systems for its own workstations and servers. Instead, it chose to use a single-purpose TSI OS, reasoning that TSI OS was good enough for TSI customers, so it should be good enough for TSI. Unfortunately, TSI OS lacks many features of a modern operating system and does not take advantage of the architectural optimizations present in the latest hardware. Below is a matrix of general purpose operating system (GPOS) features and how they map to TSI OS: GPOS Feature TSI OS Support for GPOS
This would provide a new level or marketing and several new avenues for lower cost advertising that wouldn’t be possible without proper internet marketing for the café. The e-business would allow for the products to be sold online on an automated ordering system that doesn’t require any face to face interaction and the user controls the order. We now can sell more coffee and penetrate new geographical areas that wouldn’t be possible from the actual store location. Also, the café can conduct business 24 hours without the physical location even being open. This should definitely help with sales since the overhead for the e-business requires little attention besides processing the orders once they are

Technological Internet has become part of our lives. By designing a website customers can look at the menu and offers online and leave feedback. Also free Wi-Fi in the café can be beneficial for the business. Economic factors With the economy not doing very well, price plays a big role in customers coming in; an introduction of early bird menus and 2 for 1 offers will help attract more customers.

It speeds up the retrieval and dissemination of information, partially eliminating such chores as going outdoors to the mailbox or the adult bookstore, or having to pick up the phone to get hold of your stockbroker or some buddies to shoot the breeze with. That one thing the Internet does, and only that.” * - Tom Wolfe, from Digibabble, Fairy Dust, and the Human Anthill in Hooking Up (published in 2000) Established only a few decades ago, the Internet itself is a neutral device originally designed for easing researches and studies among academic and military structures.

Their campaign could be expressed as an equation, “Version Awareness+Product Experience = Perception Change”. The first step to the team’s campaign approach was to create awareness using traditional media such as billboard advertising.

Yet, it is important to recognize that in 2007 the concept of digital experiences and “experience-based” marketing was relatively new.
Cost advantage also contributes to success in what could be considered a mature industry. The overhead for Ebay is extremely low, Amazon on the other hand could show tremendous profit if it did not reinvest in infrastructure (need to discuss this point w/ Derron, he seemed to think differently here) Concept #3 – Dynamic capabilities (Ch 8 pg 227) the e-commerce industry provides the ability to “integrate, build, and reconfigure internal and external competences to address rapidly changing environments.” The fact that Ebay and Amazon primarily do not have brick and mortar locations provide flexibility to adapt to reconfigure its resources. Ebay and Amazon were essentially brought about by the “need” concept for e-commerce across the globe. 2. What are the key drivers of profitability in eBay’s business model?
