Additionally, a marketing firm to conduct a study of feasible products to add in the stores is advisable to get an external opinion and consolidate a strategic plan to increase the number of stores. This study needs to include other states besides California, perhaps as mentioned in the strategic plan the states of Florida and New Jersey are good prospects. Considering states like Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas also offer a good market to explore (Luis Heredia, personal opinion). If going out of California, KFF needs to segment the market intended to research. Income and lifestyle represents possibly the starting point to analyze, considering low income persons do not generally buy gourmet food or imported wines and cheeses.
I am opposed to companies hiring applicants based on their physical appearances in part because hiring good looking people is an advantage to the company, it shows how people are treated differently based on their appearance.To illustrate, Mr. Serrano, a former Abercrombie and Fitch employee emphasizes that, “We were supposed to approach someone in the mall who we think will look attractive in our store.” (p2). Consequently, this means that someone who is highly qualified, with past experience, might not get the job because they aren’t what is considered experience, and possibly underqualified will get the same job because they fit the criteria. This is an accurate representation of discrimination. The article also represents a
Expanding franchises in countries where they already have proven success is a more cookie cutter approach in markets like Canada, Mexico, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The growth path model developed by Ruth’s Chris can guide them when opening these new locations in already existing markets by using the same methodology already shown to be efficient and profitable in those same areas. This option is a safer approach that could pose saturation risks and slower growth as restaurants already exist. Expanding to a new foreign market can also pose risks; however there are other types of ownership or entry methods that can be considered to increase opportunity like joint ventures or foreign direct investing. This opens up opportunities for larger surges of capital.
With respect to NAFTA, the shift is to Mexico. With this movement of multinational corporations to Mexico, the rate of unemployment will fall there but will rise in Canada. A rise in unemployment for Canada is not a good thing especially with the situation that has already plagued us. From a Canadian business point of view however, it is feasible for corporations to produce goods and services where labour costs are cheaper and their total costs of production are lower. Meanwhile, this short
It is not likely that President Díaz and his advisers foresaw that the network would draw such large numbers of Mexicans away from their homes and lead to a dramatic increase in the Mexican-American population of their northern neighbor.” (Donna S. Morales and John P.
I think when we created the fence that stretches along our U.S- Mexico border and creating a new policy we have decreased illegal immigration and helped immigrants get easier access to jobs and also decreased the criminal activity along the border. Future immigration policy should recognize that illegal immigration has a significant and positive impact on the US economy. The effect for building the fence and making a new policy was because of illegal immigration and drug smuggling and terrorism. So many people right now are against the fence but in the future I think it will benefit us for our security and economy. The people who wanted the fence in the first place because of unknown threats coming across our border can now rest with no worries because are we as a nation are protected.
The launch of Canadian bacon into Mexican markets will be no different. Kudler has established that they will be a one of a kind item in Mexican markets. Currently, the standard American bacon is mass produced in Mexico. Kudler’s challenge was finding an appropriate pricing strategy to be profitable, maintain superior quality, and support local economic factors. Kudler focused on studying competition in pricing and strategy.
The underlying agenda of NAFTA, North American Free Trade Agreement went into effect in the early 1990’s between the United States of American, Canada and Mexico. It was designed to utilize the abundant source of cheap labor within Mexico. On the surface, the agreement had a higher calling, to keep low wage earners from becoming undocumented laborers in the US; they would work in their own country instead of living in the shadows in the United States. Also, the Mexican government would benefit from having employment opportunities for their people, at least in the manufacturing sector along the borders with the US. NAFTA even had an important provision for the welfare of the Mexican laborers.
A lot of them come here not to stay, but just to work so that can provide a better live for their family in Mexico. Most of the people in the film said that “It was hard for them to leave their family behind but they had to do it. It was the only way they could provide for their family”. By them come to the United States and work and send money home back to their family is also helping to stimulate the economy. Mexicans who came to the U.S. send home nearly “25 billion dollars in 2008”.
When ask about Mexico, people will tell you they are south of the U.S border. They will tell you about how illegal drugs and illegal immigrants come through the border. For the ones the like to travel they will tell you about some of the tourist attraction, the way of life there and how much cheaper the things are there compare to the U.S.A., other will tell you that we need to build a wall to keep the illegal immigrants and drugs out of the United States, but in my opinion this will not work out because if there is a way they will find a way to get in the United States for example look at the super tunnels that where discovered in the border of California and Mexico. Canadian come to the United States for other reasons, they come in to buy clothing, automobile and pharmaceutical goods. The cost of living is Canada is expensive, so they come in through our open borders.
