JJB aims to offer its large selection of high quality coffee products and fresh baked goods products at a competitive price to meet the demand of the middle-to higher-income local market area residents and tourists at all times during operating hours. I feel that as a developing business it is very important that you are well aware of the type of clientele you will be serving and adjust your services and or prices accordingly. For instance the fact that this business is designed to meet the demand of middle-to higher-income clientele it would not be beneficial or appropriate for the business to be located in an area where people with lower incomes reside. Amongst the many strengths JJB possesses the very first strength can be found in the financing. The owners have each used $55,000 of their personal savings, for a total of $110,000.
Suggest why some people and not others benefit from the growth of Transnational Corporations (TNCs) Some people benefit from the growth of Transnational Corporations than others. MEDC’s benefit from the growth of transnational corporation because of cheaper imports from LEDC’s which benefit the consumers in MEDC’s as the prices will be cheaper, resulting in high produce, cheap price and ability to appeal to its market and compete with other companies. Another benefit of TNCS is that the loss of industry to LEDC’s can improve the environmental quality in MEDC’s, therefore reducing their CO2 emission and helping combat climate change. LEDC’s do to some extent benefit, as the workers has access to employment and the development of new skills. This will mean the population will have more money which will go into the economy, this will mean more income for improving infrastructure and services.
While theft and low income consumers bring the possibility of providing only moderate revenue gains, if not a loss, operating in impoverished areas can also be a source of growing potential for the business. Many companies advertise philanthropic missions, such as donating to charities every year or helping to provide for the families of their employees. While these are messages that consumers hear, a more powerful message can be the one that the consumers themselves see. Rather than closing down those stores, Company Q should focus on the reasons for the high crime, and offer ways to reduce that crime rate. Offering work programs that help prepare young people for management or skilled positions is a good way to take crime off of the streets while showing to the community that the business cares about the welfare of the population.
Increasing the police force decreases crimes as well as the cost of goods. The question of the day is the use of police force, do we expand it, reduce it, or keep it in the same form. Well I honestly think we need to expand our police force, due to the population rising, the economic downturn of the economy and the Over populated jails. Also in expanding our force, I believe it would be very beneficial to ensure personnel are top salaried. Expanding our police force would put a lot of people at ease, as well as jobs back in our communities.

Despite scouting for smaller opportunities, a first round of $250 million funding may not be sufficient for Brazos to invest in any more than a few firms which gives them limited scope for diversification. This places greater pressure on a first time fund and in particular, Brazos’ motivation to add value by simply promoting organic growth in cash flow and operational efficiency in the hope of enhancing industry scale.

Furthermore, Brazos’ previous relationships and experience in the market allowed it to mitigate aspects of first fund bias which inhibit the entry of many prospective VC firms into the industry. Brazos’ GTT method is one of its points of differentiation which appear limited in its application to a variety of firms outside the ‘family-owned business’ model.
National brand marketing requires greater advertising expenditure on the part of the manufacturer to compete with lower-priced private label brands.
