...Marketing intelligence should contain the very strategic information that is important for the launch of the service. It should talk about the survey of the neighborhood, the information contained in it helps in strategic planning and critical decision making. Marketing intelligence helps in identifying potential competitors and their marketing positions. It is a set of techniques and principles for systematically, collecting, recording analyzing and interpreting data to aid marketing decision makers. Market intelligence involves gathering information on a regular, ongoing basis to stay in touch with what’s happening in the marketplace it is also important that these reports are combined to form a sort of white paper for the doctors to come to very important decisions based on the type and category of service that they plan to have. This will allow the doctors to speak about the very important concept of price differentiators so that the orthopedic centre ad come to broad price based strategies. This intelligence is a very important tool for taking very important moves for doctors in terms of inputs for services and output for types of services that are expected to be given to target customers. It is also important for Doctors to know if this will be viable in the vicinity and if it is even right for them to start such a service. References Kotler, P., & Keller, K. L. (2012).

...about its release. It’s likely that in few months you will be seeing Window 7 products in the market with a tag saying ‘Windows 8 ready’. Only by the end of this year or may be in starting of 2013 we will get a chance to see an actual Window 8 running device. There are rumors that HP Slate 8 might be the first tablet to have the Window 8 OS, but there are not details about its release date or price details. 2. When Intel high-end CPUs Hits Market: At CES 2012 Intel was mum about its next generation of CPUs which are dubbed as Ivy Bridge. We hope that even if there is a short delay the Intel's higher-end third generation Core i series of CPUs will become a standard in all new desktops and laptops before this Christmas. The history of market trends shows that there will be a lot of improved mainstream parts in the market after the Intel’s high-end CPU hit the stores. 3. A Refresh to MacBook and Mac Pro: From the past three we haven’t seen any change in MacBook Pros design and we surely expect a refreshed model of MacBook from Apple this year. With the new Intel high-end processors we can dream of a slimmer and more powerful Pro model or a hybrid of Pro and Air is also a possibility. It’s for sure that there will be a major update in MacBook Air as Apple will be having the idea of how Intel’s Ivy Bridge processor will make the ultrabooks grab more market pie. 4.

...1. The Story of the Intel® 4004 1. Intel got its start in 1968 when a company named Nippo Calculating Machine Corporation hired Intel to design custom chips for the Busicom 141-PF Printing Calculator. Intel designed a set of chips known as the MCS-4. It included a CPU chip 4004, a ROM chip, a RAM chip, and a shift register chip for input output ports. In 1968 Intel starts, but wasn’t till 1971 introduces its first microprocessor which was 4004. The 4004 held 2,300 transistors. Then 1972 Intel came out with the first 8-bit microprocessors, and then in 1973 the PL/M language was introduced for microprocessors. 1974 the 8080 microprocessor comes, it has almost double the transistors at 4,500. In 1975 the ICE-80 is put out in the market, along with the Itellec model 800 which is a disk based system. The 8085 is introduced in 1976 it has 5 volt power supply; the world sees the first microcontrollers the 8748/8048 with embedded intelligence. In 1977 the 2910 decoder becomes the telecommunications standard. The 16-bit 8086 microprocessor becomes industry standard in 1978 for all PC’s. 1980 the world witnesses the birth of internet with Ethernet networking. IBM selects the 8088 to power the IBM PC in 1981. The 8098 is the first 16-bit microcontroller released in 1982 along with the 16-bit 80286 (Intel 286) microprocessor which had 134,000 transistors held in it. In 1983 the 80C49/80C51 CHMOS DRAM comes out with densities high as 256K. In 1985 Intel exits the DRAM business to...

...INTEL v/s AMD When researching the differences between Intelligence processors (INTEL) and Advance Micro Devices (AMD) it is safe to say they both have importance to the type of project in which you are performing keeping in mind you can’t install an AMD processor in an Intel-compatible motherboard or vice versa. INTEL processors are the more expensive of the two more often because of their better “frames per second” which make gaming experiences better. It was found to have better battery capacity with sleep states and enhanced power management which gives it mobility for the more “on the move type” personnel. Intel processors, although better for these reasons, lack in upgrade potential for the money that is spent. Even the latest CPU on the market, with an Intel processor, runs with the same default frequencies as earlier models with no noticeable difference in speed. This is due to the positioning of a controller that communicates with the memory and the processor. This process slows down the flow of information. AMD processors, on the other hand, communicate directly with the computer’s memory. Unlike its competition, AMD capable computers can have multiple processing units on one chip with multiple cores. The two basic processors are meant for personal computers and video card use which range from video editing to 3D gaming. This not only makes it more capable of performing more tasks, it also makes it a more affordable choice. I personally own...

...Jason Ho BAEP 599 Intel Research: Exploring the future Intel’s innovation and new product development process was predicated on a concept that was deemed old and no longer effective. Driven by Moore’s Law, the old roadmap-driven research method identified barriers that hindered usage of the continuing and increasing power of chips, and then built solutions to overcome those barriers. David Tennenhouse along with Hans Mulder implemented a new method, the ‘exploratory research’ strategy. The logic was to sample external environments and then amplify research around those identified as promising ventures. With Intel Research and Intel Capital under their wings, Tennenhouse and Mulder set out to bring in new innovations and ideas to Intel. However, a few roadblocks were in their way. The ultimate task for Tennenhouse and Mulder was not only to drive in new ventures, but also to develop a strategy to incubate and track the progress of their investments. In this paper, I will identify Tennenhouse’s strategy, as well as the hurdles that he had to overcome in identifying these strategies and implementations.I will then provide my interpretation and insight, as well as some suggestions to the problems that Tennenhouse and Mulder faced. Leveraging his experience from DARPA, Tennenhouse implemented an exploratory research strategy that placed emphasis on “sensing” the environment. His plan was to plant agents in areas that had an abundant amount of resources, information, and...

Applicability to support Organizational Goals 11 7. Conclusion 13 8. Bibliography 14 9. Appendices 15 1. Introduction: According to Drucker, for a leader to be effective, there are several practices that they must follow. He analysed various businesses including not for profit organizations and noticed similar practices with all the CEOs. These were (1) they asked what needed to be done (2) they asked “what is right for the enterprise”, (3) they developed action plans, (4) they took responsibility for decisions made, (5) they took responsibility for communicating, (6) they were focused on opportunities rather than problems, (7) they ran productive meetings and (8) they thought and said “We” rather than “I”. He stated that, the first 2 options gave them the knowledge they needed while the other four helped them convert this knowledge into effective action while the last two ensured the whole organization felt responsible and accountable (Drucker, 2011). Every organization requires good and effective leaders to ensure the organizational objectives are met. It is important that the leader is identified with their way working with people within the organization and the methods used to show organizational direction. The emotional intelligence of these leaders plays a key role in...

...4.GENERATION Basic component of a computer in the fourth generation was a microprocessor. It it an integrated circuit invented in 1971 by Intel which carries out arithemetic and logic operation and its composed of milions of transistors. They operate on numbers and symbols represented in the binary system. The first 4-bit microprocessor 4004 was presented by Intel in 1971 . In the 1960s, processors were constructed out of small and medium ICs each containing from ten to few hundred transistors. The large number of discrete logic gates used more electrical power and produced more heat than a integrated design with fewer ICs. Some of the fourth generation computers are IBM 4341, DEC 10, STAR 1000, PUP 11 and APPLE II. 5. GENERATION Fifth generation was the result of a massive government research project in Japan in 1980s. The main goal of the production in fifth generation was making devices that are capable responding to natural language input, learning and organization shortly called...

...Erica Graham 1 Erica Graham Prof. Poznanska International Business Final Paper 3/6/2015 Introduction: SAS Institute Inc is by far the world largest private software company. It is known for two things, it was the first company to make software for analyzing data, and how it treats its employees. “SAS Institute is probably the most important software company that you’ve never heard of.” (Fishmen) Yet a majority of the people in the United States and overseas uses SAS technology every day without knowing where and how it came into being. SAS is considered to be the sanest company in America, with the lowest turnover rates for employees across the world. “The company experiences annual turnover in the range of 23% compared to an industry average of 22%.” (Crowley) This is due to the way that SAS operates, putting its workers and their job satisfaction above everything else. SAS institute is also one of the very few companies to take a sustainability approach to business, one in which it holds the value of people above all else. “SAS has found that by being an especially benevolent and respected organization, they consistently produce the most optimal workplace performance.” (Crowley) Reason for International Expansion: Erica Graham 2 In 1966 there was no company called SAS, but the foundation for this fast growing multinational company was laid. In 1966 the need for computerized statistics programs was enormous especially for the agricultural sector...
