CLUB IT, PART 2 ANGELA MOSIER XBIS/219 NOVEMBER 18, 2012 INSTRUCTOR – CONCHITA GARNETT After investigating, I have identified three business problems in terms of its resources, supply chain and customers. While Club It’s customers are mostly Net generation and Millennial, whom regularly use mobile technologies, the dial-up internet service is slow and not effective. The service allows connection to the internet via telephone. While dial- up connections are a considerably less expensive alternative to high speed connections, they are very extremely slow. It may appear that Club IT is saving money by not paying for a higher speed connection, it is likely that the savings are not as significant as they may think.
The majority of society would would rather pick up their smartphones than pick up a book. They always have to get the latest apps and games. Well why not get the latest books? We are not yet entirely in Bradbury’s world, but we’re getting close. Media is causing us to do things without us knowing.
Of course with any new service or product there was great hesitation from customers to use this unfamiliar product. For the banks there was some concern over its profitability, its complexity and benefits. As the years went by Bank of America saw great results from the mobile banking and have continued to use it ever since. In 2006 when the discussions of mobile banking first started, Douglas Brown (Senior VP of BofA) made an argument trying to push mobile banking. He indicated that it would be a convenience to customers as they would be able to do “banking on the move”.
They could not compete with cellular service providers. Through the launch of its service, Iridium focused on marketing its products and services to business travellers who often flew overseas to remote areas and islands where cellular reception is unavailable. In the end, cellular service was available. The huge majority of the population lives in urban areas where cellular transmission towers have been built. Their target market’s needs have been met by cellular phones much cheaper and more convenient to carry around, providing greater value to them.
When a new mobile phone enters the market it would be difficult for them to match up to the big names like o2. This is because people are not familiar with their company as it is not well known and people would want to purchase well known brands as opposed to something that is not known. Also large mobile phone companies offer many deals and low prices to attract more customers to their companies. They might offer a free phone, or other gadgets e.g. a tablet when they choose to go with their company.
Matav were not the only option for people when it came to mobile services any more. Prior to T-Mobile’s arrival, Matav was pretty much able to become a monopoly and able to elevate its prices for services, much more than they should be. T-Mobile was naturally able to give customers and much more reasonable and affordable price for customers. This eventually forced Matav to drop their once higher
(Kurtz, 2012) The introduction of cell phones created job opportunities for workers that were previously unemployed. Transmission towers needed to be built and maintained. Store owners began selling prepaid phones. The reserved culture of females in India was altered when cell phones allowed young females to elude
The mainstreaming of the cell phone has made it possible to be in contact with the family at all times. Whether Dad needs to let the family know that he is running late due to heavy traffic, or Mom forgot to jot down the grocery list before leaving for the supermarket, the solution is just a phone call away. Breaking down on the side of the road is less distressful when help can be contacted quickly thanks to the cell phone in the car. The smart phone lets the consumer compare prices on the internet while at the store to ensure they are getting the best deal before they make that high dollar purchase. At first glance it seems it would be equally as beneficial for adolescents to have a cell phone to help parents stay in contact and keep track of them, but with a closer look at the negative effects that a cell phone can cause to a teen’s health, behavior, and education, it becomes clear that the possible detriments far outweigh any conveniences that a cell phone may offer.
The way technology has driven the last half of a century has changed life astronomically. Everyday people crave and desire the next big thing on the market. Whether it is the hybrid car or touch screen phone, the need for something more leaves room in life for unhappiness when those items are not obtained. Lao-Tzu strongly argued that when people do not want anything, they are okay with living simple. This is beyond the truth of today.
