Introduction: This case summary considers the Richard Ivey School of Business case ‘Creemore Springs Brewery: Branding Without Advertising’ prepared by Mark . Creemore Springs Vice President of Marketing, Howard Thompson, stated issue is whether to expand capacity of the Creemore Springs brewery from 27,000 hectoliters to 50,000 hl. Core Issue: Creemore Springs has been profitable from the first year of operation but is experiencing a production bottleneck - the brew house requires an expansion to accommodate a 50 hl kettle. A $3 million capital investment would allow production to almost double to 50,000 hl. The company has built its brand as a “beer that is discovered” rather than using traditional beer marketing strategies.
The Erih T should have asked the HI to do a study on RDH even before signing a contract. Whatever happened at RDH was pretty much predictable. Almost 50% turnover within 3 months cannot be a cost cutting but a question in the mind of people that why would someone do so. This would then affect the business because the entity which is in controversy has always suffered loss and took time to come on the track. It also shows that there was a miscommunication between the HI and Erih T as HI took the task as a long term plan and gradual change.
When they receive the call they don’t know what to expect, they don’t know if they're going to be alive the next day or not. Every time they respond to a call it could be the last day of their lives. Even if they retire the average life span for a firefighter after retirement is 5 years, because of all the smoke that they breathe in. While athletes can retire after 5 years of playing a sport, and relax the rest of their lives, if they’re smart they would invest their money and still make millions of dollars a years doing nothing. I feel that Pro Athletes shouldn’t be making so much money, they make millions and sometimes even hundreds of millions to play a sport.
There were 11 staff all aged from 15 to 21, with all the 11 staff they have to come up with $52,344 back pay. This doesn’t look good for all subway stores even any fast food stores. This will now take subway out a lot of money and not sure how they will be able to pay it all back, subway may even have to shut down over one stupid mistake from a few
Consumers could decide the purchase separate appliances instead of choosing the all-in-one. Our product is convenient, efficient, and cost effective. However, three separate machines could, in theory, do what our machine does. Customers could already own the three separate machines and decide not to spend money on a new gadget unless they need to replace something. There will be a higher marketing cost associated with this product in order to educate the consumers on the benefits of owning the product Because the customers could already own a toaster, microwave and convection oven, they won’t immediately understand the benefits of an all-in-one product.
The Sears brand is marketed to be able to supply all of their products all the time in abundance to its consumers but in order for Sears to try to set a trendy counterculture image they would need to start making some products and services less available and only to certain stores which would destroy Sears brand. Could big box stores sell merchandise identical to Urban Outfitters. Big box stores cannot make merchandise that is exactly identical to Urban Outfitters because that would infringe on Urban Outfitters
I think that the government should have different methods on finding out who’s qualified for certain leadership positions. They should implement methods that observe and evaluate employees on the job doing the job. They should simulate challenges and different situations and base their promotions on those results. This is the only way of choosing a qualified candidate. It is very important for a job like this where lives are at risk, for your “street smarts” to be sharp, a paper and pencil test does not test for these skills.

The recent history of Air Canada is not bright one. In March of 2003 Air lines cut 3,600 jobs.

Last year, because the price of oil had raised to $150 a barrel many CUPE members lost monthly flying time.
Tell us how you expect that your better understanding of this factor will influence your perceptions of others in the future, after a little more searching of the strip mall. I figured we should take a look in the professional office building just to make sure it was or wasn’t located on one of the five floors. Sure enough the building had suites labeled in their directory. I had based my decision to enter the professional office building by stereotyping. Seeing that we were looking for a business suite why not look in a business office building on the chance of accomplishing what we had set-out to accomplish.
