Marketing Mix Product – the new product that we have chosen is to create is a new mobile phone, the phone is an extension to the current range of iPhones and is the new ‘iPhone 7s’.

The new technology is new screen glass which is much stronger, the screen is now 80% more smash resistant, and this is a huge benefit as it is going to save customers a lot of money that they would have pay out on repairs. Also we have introduced a warranty which guarantees a replacement phone if the screen does happen to shatter, however this is after paying a £30 insurance cost, and this insurance also covers the phone if it has a technical problem which is irreparable.

Being that Nintendo has continued to be outsold by its competitors in 2010 and 2011, the Wii U is a smart move for Nintendo. Running another low-end encroachment (Wii U) could be Nintendo’s successor of the Wii. Rather than sustaining their current the technology, the Wii, by just making small incremental improvements, creating a disruptive technology could help Nintendo jump the curve and turn their current sales around. The gaming industry has five to six year “generations” of introducing new technology to the market.
The record companies were initially happy receiving $0.70/song from Apple since prior to this arrangement, they were not getting paid for downloaded music (Brickley, Smith, & Zimmerman, 2009). As the digital market gets bigger, the record companies are getting dissatisfied with Apple’s pricing policy and are pushing for a change to a complex pricing policy, where new and popular songs will be priced higher. They have complained that Apple’s is using their music to promote the sale of the iPod since music from the iTunes store is only compatible with the Apple software. As of January 2008, all four major record companies agreed to allow Amazon.com sale their music in the MP3 format without the digital locks that restricts users from making copies of the songs though each of the companies excluding EMI Group requires Apple to sell their music with all the digital rights (Brickley, Smith, & Zimmerman, 2009).

The essay was published in The New York Times, May 28th. 2011.

More specifically, Cisco was targeting the Internet phone systems market, which was expected to grow form $3.5 billion to $10.5 billion by 2008.
