Mission statement states the company's direction and goals, and what the company wants. It defines the product or service the company provides and what makes it unique. Most importantly, it lets employees now the purpose of the organization and guide them to achieve the company's objectives.By understanding company's mission statement, employees will know what is expected from them and helps them to be dedicated on their Jobs. Having employees who are committed to the company's mission will certainly have an impact on the service delivery. Process Layout and Service Blueprint Process layout is used at Cold Storage superma rket. The layout aims to improve efficiency by grouping work stations and equipment according to its function and varied processing requirements, and strategically positioned to create a continuous low when customer enters the supermarket. It is flexible and capable of handling a wide variety of products.Products are grouped and displayed according to categories. Causeway Point supermarket outlet has two separate areas in their layout. Entering the supermarket, customers will see the first area with stations displaying only fruits and vegetables. The layout somewhat guide customer to the next area where rows of shelves, freezers and chillers are positioned to display other products. The checkout counters are positioned in one row and located near the exit. The frontline of the supermarket are the checkout counters. Possible risk exists here because this is where customers have direct contact with the employees.A possible risk is the quality of service provided by the employee perfor ming the cashier duty may not meet company or/and customer expectations. Different employees have different behavior and skills and so the service delivery may vary too. There is also the risk of customers being frustrated when the queue is long and not moving as quickly as they want. Although the layout is well organized with spacious aisles for customers to move easily, the space between the checkout counter and the nearest helves is not big enough which result in congested queue during peak hours.However, preventive measures have been taken. Dedicated counters were setup strategically to prevent long queue formation. With a dedicated express counter for few items purchase and two other counters proportioning customers with small children and customers who are either elderly, pregnant or have disability. In addition, during peak hours additional employee is assigned at each counter to assist in packing the purchased items while the cashier focuses in entering/scanning the prices a nd handle cash or credit card transactions. This speed up the process while ensuring customers from feeling frustrated.Although there may be a possibility of long queue, with additional staffs and counters, the checkout will be fast and customers will appreciate the store's effort. Cold Storage has achieved efficiency of operation. The spacious layout allows easy mobility for customers in getting the products they want and the average queue turnaround time during peak hours are successfully reduced by its preventive measure at the checkout counters. The company also achieved quality service as per observation. The cashier exudes armor personality when communicating with customers.By providing temporary assistance to the cashier during peak period, it reduces the employee's stress level by providing a conducive environment for staff to achieve the service standard requirement. Quantitative and Qualitative Performance Measures One quantitative performance measure that is relevant for Cold Storage would be calculating its growth rate in sales. By calculating the sales growth rate profitability, it tells if they meet their sales level target. It is one way to gauge how well a company is doing as well as knowing its potential for future sales growth.Another quantitative performance measure is finding the percentage of sales obtained from new products. This performance measure will indicate whether customers engage in browsing the store and if they manage to attract customer to the new products in the store. If the percentage is found to be low, then the company can take appropriate measures to increase customer's engagement or implement ways to attract customers to buy the new products, for example, by offering special offer promotions and better display of signage, etc. One qualitative performance measure is by looking at the number of customer complaints.Monitoring the number of customer complaints will provide an indication on the service level, ability to ident ify the problems that lead to the complaints and to find a resolution. Customer's complaints and feedback are a good source of information that identifies problem and appropriate steps to solve or eliminate the issues. Another qualitative performance measure is computing the average output per employee. This measures each employee's productivity and thus, the company will be able to identify which employee has difficulty in his work or if he has behavioral issues.Then a resolution an be implemented through various methods such as rewards for the most productive employee, retraining employee who lacks the required skills and disciplining of employees if required. SERVICEABLE Serviceable are the physical factors of the store that can be controlled by the firm to enhance (or constraint) employees and customers' activities. It influences customers' perception of the quality of the service experience. Its supermarkets' entrances have big â€Å"Cold Storage† signage with the slogan â€Å"The fresh food people†. The store is well lighted with its white walls and floors.The store's layout is big and spacious and signed in such a way that it guides customers throughout the store with ease. Several large signage are displayed at all counters. The store is well ventilated and air-conditioned at a Just nice temperature. The signage at the entrance acts as a stimulus that communicates non-verbally to customers about the company and its expected outcome. Serviceable influences the perception and customers will distinguish companies by the way it is categorized. In this case, customers can identify that Cold Storage is the place for fresh food purchases. Serviceable can evoke emotional response.Environmental factors such as colors, lighting and dcord may have an influence on customer's mood. Places that cause pleasurable experience tend to make people spend more time and money while unpleasant environments are usually avoided. Cold Storage serviceable evokes a welcoming feeling with its white color, good lighting and spacious layout. Serviceable can also evoke physiological responses. Low lighting might decrease ability to see products and may cause the eyes to strain. â€Å"Inhospitable† temperature and a crowded layout will cause discomfort or/and stress to customers which may lead to them to hasten their hopping experience.Whereas a well-designed spacious layout with the right temperature and lighting will make customers feel more comfortable. Cold Storage well designed serviceable makes customers feel comfortable and encourages engagement in more browsing which may lead to more purchases. Serviceable may influence social interaction between the customers and employees too. Customer's response to the serviceable can influence the quality of interaction. The physical set up of Cold Storage check-out counter facilitate positive employee-customer interaction as it encourages customers to approach its employees if they assistance.St orage can redesign their website and app so customers can suggest particular products they would like the store to carry. Using such information, the company will know its customers' wants and needs by evaluating the suggested products for quality and salability before stocking them. Another recommendation would be providing kid-friendly carts that are video-equipped to entertain the children while parents can shop at ease. This aligns to the company's mission in making shopping at Cold Storage exciting, fun and easy. However, both recommendations require some investment from the company. (1455 words)

Exploiting the Network: Synergy, Product Placement

The media industries have a suggestive and coercive power on society, embodied within the artifacts, images, and brands we consume. As these industries diversify, so do the products and the avenues in which they are offered. Synergy allows corporations the power to maximize advertising through a variety of cross-market promotional mechanisms, proliferating their products or logos exponentially. Initially, this essay requires an explanation of the use of synergy and cross-market advertising. Subsequently, I will illustrate how television shows such as Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants and MTV’s The Osbournes and Total Live Request (TRL), use the vast internal synergistic network of their parent company Viacom. Such programming appears to exploit its viewer-ship through commodification – product placement, branding, and celebrity endorsements. Synergy: The True Meaning of Cross-Market Advertising â€Å"We are reaching a position where the challenge for the 1990s should be to seek a greater understanding of the best ways, creatively, to exploit the potential for media synergy†(Confer, 10) The concept of synergy is not new, however evidence suggests it has only been fully realized and exploited over the last decade. Synergy is created through the integration or combination of different but complimentary business interests, each feeding off the other. Ultimately, large corporations or conglomerates are diversifying their market interests rather than specializing. This diversification benefits the company by offering a new strata of opportunities thereby complimenting its existing functionality. An example of this is a movie production company allying or buying out a major video game provider. The synergy created from such a merger allows for a film and a video game to use the same characters, story line or premise. Synergy works for two reasons. Primarily, synergy is an engine that provides cross-marketing and cross-selling opportunities, which would allow for greater sales, exceeding what would be possible from each division separately. (Hesmondhalgh, 141). Secondly, corporations also â€Å"plan and design texts, in order to encourage subsidiary spin-off texts† (Hesmondhalgh, 239). Even if these texts or preplanned products are not of great quality or a commercial success, they will still sell thus generating profit. This is because there is a pre-existing, underlying product network that has already been established through the fan base. If synergy can be classified as the â€Å"the ability to keep cash flows inside a corporate family† (Klein, 148), through its internal use of cross-market production, promotion, and sales; Sumner Redstone’s Viacom is a perfect example of synergy at work. The Viacom Empire has tapped into many markets throughout the entertainment and media industry. Viacom’s major subsidiaries include: Nickelodeon – children’s cartoon network; MTV – music network; NBC – television network; and Paramount – movie production company, which also runs numerous theme parks all over North America. Klein, 2000, comments on this phenomenon as â€Å"synergy nirvana† (160). According to Klein, ‘synergy nirvana’ is attained when a conglomerate works internally to â€Å"successfully†¦churn out related versions of the same product, like molded Play-Doh, into different shapes: toys, books, theme parks, magazines, television specials, movies, candies, CDs, CD-ROMs, superstores, comics, and mega-musicals† (161). Basically, ‘synergy nirvana’ is the proliferation of standardized products in different packaging, through a preexisting framework of cross-market advertising; which is done on a vast scale through the exploitation of many different mediums and industries in the name of profit. ‘Synergy’ is Viacom’s number one marketing tool for it allows them to link the vastness of their empire together, into a culmination, dissemination and consumption of products, images, ideals, and brands. Furthermore, ‘synergy’ in programming, such as SpongeBob SquarePants and The Osbournes, has evident implications for the viewer-ship. SpongeBob SquarePants: The Future of Product Placement â€Å"Nickelodeon has more children between the ages of two to eleven watching than the four major networks combined†¦ This is significant in the competition for the children’s advertising market, which averages about $500 million a year† (Roman, 223). SpongeBob SquarePants is a lovable, animated sea sponge that manages to find himself in undersea trouble during every episode. The â€Å"cartoon† (Mittell, 18) runs every â€Å"Saturday morning† (Mittell, 18) on Nickelodeon and is syndicated to most major television networks due to its incredible popularity among children viewers. What started out in 1999, as a comical concept for a children’s television program, has grown seemingly overnight into a ‘juggernaut’. Nickelodeon cannot only boast that it is â€Å"the number one rated program among children 2-11†, but according to Nielson ratings, â€Å"53. 7 million viewers tune into the show each month†¦including 22. 1 million kids 2-11, [and] 12. 7 million between 9-14† (Olson, blogcritics. rg). With such commercial success and an immense viewer ship, Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants uses synergistic principals of massive product placement to have free rein and ‘seep into every pore’ of consumer culture. SpongeBob employs Viacom’s cross platform synergies to network and gain access to most children’s homes. The motivation is a given when children between the ages of 2 – 11 are not only watching between 24 – 28 hours of television a week (Roman, 74), but are â€Å"responsible for either spending or influencing the spending of $100 billion annually† (Roman, 74). This is clearly an influential and lucrative market. SpongeBob SquarePants should be the archetype for synergistic corporate product placement. With SpongeBob’s insurgence into popular culture, there have been similar synergistic trends of product placement. Support for this notion is found through looking back to 2004, days before the premier of the SpongeBob SquarePants movie in New York. Paramount, another Viacom subsidiary, launched a brand new SpongeBob SquarePants amusement park theme ride to coincide with the movie launch. Additionally, Burger King (also owned by Viacom), released a SpongeBob SquarePants value meal that comes with SpongeBob SquarePants plastic figurines from the movie – ‘collect all 42. ’ Nickelodeon, the Viacom subsidiary that operates SpongeBob must not be ignored. Nickelodeon aired a 24-hour SpongeBob SquarePants Marathon that hyped up kids for the movie and forced unsuspecting parents to shell out $12 a ticket. Furthermore, during the Marathon’s commercial breaks, SpongeBob advised the viewers to eat SpongeBob value meals, collect all 67 figurines, and go to Paramount Theme Parks to try his new ride. SpongeBob has saturated the market with his yellow sponginess, which must be overpowering to any parent; he can be found everywhere, in every nuance of daily life. Since the movie, product placements and cross-promotional marketing have skyrocketed. SpongeBob now has a line of clothing, DVD box sets, bed linens, and bowling balls with a real tenpin set. Of course a 5 year old needs a bowling ball and set of bowling pins with SpongeBob SquarePants on them – SpongeBob said so! MTV: Branding a Nation â€Å"MTV is associated with the forces of freedom and democracy around the world. When the Berlin Wall came down, there were East German guards holding MTV umbrellas† – Sumner Redstone, CEO of Viacom MTV is known for hosting different music video programs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In 1998, MTV was watched in â€Å"273. 5 million household worldwide† (Klein, 120), where it was reported, â€Å"85% of them watched everyday† (Klein, 120). The station offers a host television shows, including TRL and The Osbournes, that entrance its youthful audience through flashy music videos and the celebrities portrayed. MTV’s popularity, since its inception in the early 1980s, is as a self-perpetuating â€Å"fully branded media integration† (Klein, 44). Klein, 2000, writes: From the beginning, MTV has not been just a marketing machine for products it advertises around the clock; it has also been a twenty-four-hour advertisement for MTV itself†¦[where] viewers didn’t watch individual shows, they simply watched MTV†¦Advertisers didn’t want to just advertise on MTV, they wanted to co-brand with the station (44). Today, advertiser branding can be seen throughout MTV. As MTV endeavors to diversify in a changing market place, video shows like TRL are coupled with reality-based television shows intimately linked to ‘celerity’ including The Anna Nichol Smith Show or The Osbournes’. Beyond these shows lack of merit, their entire function is product branding and celebrity endorsements. Even though The Osbournes’ are a revival to the â€Å"original early 1950s format of the American sitcom† (Gillan, 55), I cannot fathom that product branding, product placement, and celebrity endorsements were as prevalent on national television in the 1950s as they are in modern programming. Within the first ten minutes of the show, the audience can blatantly see a mansion full of expensive electronics, furniture, and cars – at a closer look, the brand names facing the camera and are a part of the Viacom conglomerate in a myriad of ways. All The Osbournes offer the predominately teen audience (other than a few less brain cells) is copious amounts of product branding though celebrity endorsement. Product branding on MTV is a big issue. Much like the red carpet on Oscar night, where the predominant question on everyone’s lips is ‘who are you wearing? ’ MTV offers its audience the same intellectual stimulation, especially when all that its audience sees are ‘hella-cool’ rock stars and all the ‘bling’ they wear throughout their music videos, interviews, and award ceremonies. No wonder the Y generation is all about over consumption and bad taste. As we have entered the 21st Century, multi-media conglomerates have risen to great power in our society. They offer the consumer the media and entertainment that they desire. However through internal synergistic networks, these companies, such as Viacom, can link the lucrative children’s market or the 24-hour advertising nature of MTV, to all other aspects of their company. As consumers, we neglect what these companies are telling us to do – to consume – in order to watch our favourite programs. We refuse to witness how the realities of consumerism, and sickening nature that these corporations control the very artifacts and images that we relate to and enjoy for their own personal profit.

Analysis Of The Book Allegory Of The Cave And The...

An old Zen Buddhism saying said that † the classic form is emptiness, emptiness is form.† Which means that the outside world without cognizance is a perpetual changeful world, our cognizance is the core of the world, which is inflected the whole nature. Sometimes we are eclipsed by our cognizance that we cannot find out the truth. We used to admit the fact in our sight that process with our cognizance, which probably is the illusory world. In addition, the people in the allegory give up to walked out of the cave that still back to the dark. Besides in the movie, Neo found out that which the world, which he lived a long time was the in illusory world. Both of Plato’s â€Å"Allegory of the Cave† and the Wachoskis’ The Matrix are involved in this principles; however, they are having some similarities and differences that between their changes and their worlds. In the allegory, the people who lived in the cave is restrained with the iron rope that face to the wall that what in their sight are only the shadow throng on the dark cave, once when the people ran out of the cave, he found out the sunshine that he can not open a eye and then he backed to the cave that the people used to live without light and full of darkness. Comparing with Plato’s â€Å"Allegory of the Cave† and the Wachowskis’ The Matrix, they are having several similarities. Do you know what is the real world? Both of the characters are going out of the world, which they are living for a long time. When they go out of

Social Media in B2B Marketing

Question: Discuss about the use of social media in B2B marketing and branding? Answer: 1. Out of the five considerable points mentioned by Duke Stump, the company culture resonated with me the most. Duke Stumps statement, it begins inside represents the value of a strong and effective organizational culture in creating a strong brand. The organizational culture in the workplace defines the way in which the employees of the organization behave and react to various situations (Kotler, 2012). The creation and maintenance of an effective and strong organizational culture is based on the initial action of not keeping strict hierarchical order in the workplace and allowing the business model to be built on feelings, moral and value. Such value-based business model in the workplace of the organization allows the management to maintain an effective organizational culture and hence allows the workplace environment to be the most suitable for higher performance of the employees. Hence the presence of a strong organizational culture in the workplace of the organization allows the presence and maintenance of loyal, satisfied and motivated employees (Melewar, 2014). The suitable workplace allows the employees to have high performance and in turn allows the organization to achieve its goals, vision and objectives. The presence of effective organizational culture also allows the management of the organization to keep the employees to believe in the goals and vision of the organization (Davis, 2013). This in turn allows higher team synergy and team dynamics, leading to overall high performance of the entire organization. This in turn allows the creation of an effective brand image in the corresponding market of operation (Brennan, 2012). 2. The concept of value chain management is different than that of the supply chain management. The concept of supply chain management focuses on the management and delivery of the physical products and materials, whereas the concept of value chain management focuses on increasing the sustainability of the products and the competitive advantages. As mentioned by Andrew Fearne in the video, the concept of value chain management focuses on extending the line of sight to increase the sustainability of both the products and the competitive advantages of the organization (Kotler, 2012). Some of the effects of value chain management on the relationship marketing of the organization with the clients are mentioned below. The concept of value chain management focuses on the satisfaction of the needs and requirements of the customers or the end consumers of the products. This in turn enhances the relationship of the organization with its consumers or customers (Maon, 2014). The concept of value chain management also allows the information flow to be optimum in the workplace of the organization, which in turn allows the management of the organization to determine the effects of various changes in the needs of the customers on the relationship and the sustainability of the products. The concept of value chain management allows the management of the organization to have effective consumer insights and along with the connection between the customer and supplier relationship management (Hansen, 2014).

The short long lived beatles Essay Example For Students

The short long lived beatles Essay The worlds number one rock group consisted of John Winston (Ono) Lennon (born 10/09/40 died 12/08/80), whose middle name came from his parents admiration of Winston Churchill, and which John changed to Ono in later years; James Paul McCartney (born 06/18/42); George Harold Harrison (born 02/25/43 died 11/29/01); and Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey 07/07/40).During the Beatles recording career from 1962 to 1970, they would release twenty-two singles (45rpm) in the United Kingdom, and thirty-three in the United States. Their first UK single was Love Me Do/P. S. I Love You, released October 5, 1962, on EMI/Parlophone Records. The first USA single would be Please Please Me/Ask Me Why, which they released on February 25, 1963 on Vee Jay Records. Although the Beatles were big in England, they had not yet caught on in the United States. Following their first USA single, came From Me To You/Thank YouGirl, which was released May 27, 1963 on Vee Jay, followed by She Loves You/Ill Get You on Swan Records. Finally on December 26, 1963, Capitol Records decided to release I Want To Hold Your Hand/I Saw Her Standing There, which went to number 1 on the Billboard Charts on January 18, 1964, and stayed there for seven weeks. As luck would have it, the Beatles first US visit planned for February 1964 with their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show had been booked almost six months earlier. Only by accident did the Beatles I Want To Hold Your Hand happen to be at #1 the same time as their first US visit. We will write a custom essay on The short long lived beatles specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now One could not have asked for better timing. On January 30, 1964, following the success of I Want To Hold Your Hand, Vee Jay Records re released Please Please Me, only this time with From Me To You as the B-Side. In the United Kingdom, the Beatles released twelve albums (33 rpm/LPs), however released nineteen in the USA. There were several reasons for this. One is that UK albums had fourteen songs, whereby USA had only twelve. The second, and really the most important reason is that Capitol Records decided that they wanted to create their own albums, different from the UK, using titles taken from UK singles and EP (extended play) singles. Such US albums as Meet The Beatles, The Beatles Second Album, Something New, Beatles 65, The Early Beatles, Beatles VI, Help!, and Yesterday and Today, were never issued in the UK in this form. Even Help!, the Beatles movie soundtrack was issued with different cuts than the UK version. It was not until the release of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band that they maintained the integrity of the albums universally. By the summer of 1967, the Beatles released Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, on June 2, unquestionably the Beatles greatest album ever. It was the brainchild of Paul, and took more than six months to complete. John, Paul and George contributed its songs, but in a more simple sense, they conceived all the songs from ideas and things in everyday life. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, long thought to be about an LSD trip, was written by Lennon taken from an idea he got from his son Julian. Julian, a young boy, came home one day with a painting he had done at school of one of his classmates named Lucy ODonnell. In explaining the painting to his father, he described it as Lucy, in the sky with diamonds, and the song was born. The song Getting Better, came from a description of the weather, in that it was getting better all the time. From this point, from 1968 to 1970, the Beatles recorded four more albums; The Beatles (White Album), Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road and Let It Be. Some of the more interesting songs from this period contained on these albums are: Glass Onion, written by Lennon, which is the name that he came up originally for another band that signed with Apple Records called the Iveys. .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b , .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b .postImageUrl , .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b , .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b:hover , .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b:visited , .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b:active { border:0!important; } .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b:active , .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u0dc48764e9f4294e5f6dff684220546b:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Candide: Optimism Essay They did not like the name Glass Onion, and decided to call themselves, Badfinger, taken from Badfinger Boogie, the original name of the Beatles song A Little Help From My Friends.
