Straberg’s plan to have the departments collaborate early to develop specifications would save time and money by preventing technical problems

Weaknesses • The development team carried dual responsibility developing the product as well market for it. • Team decided to develop small 1.3 inch drive, without doing enough market research. After the project had started they were still figuring out a market after the technology, rather than the other way around. • They took the approach that if they build it, people will buy it and had set an optimistic estimate of $100 million revenue rate for a market that did not even exist. • By laying such emphasis on the 1.3 inch drive with autonomy to make decisions etc, HP could have made the rest of the DMD team feel as if they were working on less important projects.
The ingredient prices are high because she sells higher end breads that cost more, and the labor costs are high due to hand production techniques, and possible increase of debt would be due to whether or not she expanded and bought another location. 6.) The characteristics of the industry that the company is in is its highly competitive , but over time these low cost breads are being made by machines instead of by hand so the products are cheaper and more bread is made over a span of time. 7.) The firm’s strategy for differentiation that enables them to compete within the context of their industry is making breads all from scratch and by hand.
As stated in the source, the current market dominating bus companies “avoid competition with each other in order to protect their own territories” meaning they have to stick to specific routes. With a new company crossing these routes, there is less likely to be too much rivalry as the larger companies won’t want to cause more competition between each other. These new routes would be beneficial to existing customers as they could travel to places easily without having to spend more money on multiple buses, such crossing counties which does currently happen with various companies. Therefore having these new innovative routes would attract existing customers to change company to one which is overall cheaper than the current alternatives, thus generating profit for the new bus company in the market. However, there are still complications that could come with this strategy.
And she also overestimated the profits the bakery can made and the capacity they need. Because the growth of the company is slow and stable, I don’t think that she should choose a much too large building to move in. She didn’t consider the long-term expenses of the building and whether the revenue they made can afford the cost. Therefore, she should ask the professions for advice and consider all the factors that will influence their development. 2.
Kellogg’s 1. For a brand as Kellogg’s, where customers are as important, because Kellogg’s is a market oriented brand, it is essential to do marketing research to see the change in customer needs and preferences. When Kellogg’s do their marketing research they can tailor their products according to the customers and therefore have a competitive advantage on an established market. 2. Primary research can easily become time-consuming and therefore expensive, although it is considered as a very reliable source as it comes directly from the customers.
Disadvantages of Recommendation * By launching the campaign it may exceed the BE of the 6.08%, which we need to break even so we may lose the 1st mover advantage. This may position Intel as non-innovative company and therefore damage the brand equity since Intel is known as being innovating in technology. One of the biggest disadvantage of not opening up the Intel inside ad campaigns to the cellphone/PDA market immediately is it is possible that another competitor would be able to identify and reach the opportunity first, which may give them the opportunity to be the leading component of the devices and would create the demand for the competitors’ brand. However, it is possible that the manufactures of the phones find it difficult to find a value in the Intel brand name, which could end up the company having to put up all of the advertising cost alone (as opposed to sharing the cost as they did previously with the PC manufactures) and there may be a lack of cooperation in branding the Intel logo on the phones. In according to the PC market, Intel was allowed to place their logo on the computers but the cell phone manufacture market is not promised.
But one women in particular seems to stand out from all the others, the one who is trying to change and break away from all the pain and sexist rules. This woman as referred to in this poem is a “star-gazer” she is full of optimism and hope that she can change and show everyone that woman are far for capable to work in an office and not just cooking in the kitchen. In India, women don’t get very far in their education. Many stop school after the 10th possibly 11th grade to get married. Parents seek desirable husbands for their daughter and send her away to live with him and her in-laws’.
