...PROMOTIONAL STRATEGIES AND ADVERTISING STRATEGIES SONY VS SAMSUNG (Electronics) BRITTANY N FLYTHE STRAYER UNIVERSITY BUS508 CONTEMPORARY BUSINESS 06/17/2015 SONY AT A GLANCE Sony Corp. is engaged in the development, design, manufacture, and sale of electronic equipment, instruments, devices, game consoles, and software for consumers, professionals, and industrial markets. Its operations are carried out through the following segments: Consumer Products and Service; Professional, Device and Solutions; Pictures; Music; Financial Services; and Other. The Consumer Products and Service segment includes Sony Computer Entertainment, Sony Network Entertainment, VAIO & Mobile Business Group, Personal Imaging and Sound Business Group, and Home Entertainment Business Group. Sony engages in a variety of different marketing efforts, as one of the world's largest and most pervasive corporations. Sony's former slogans have been "The One and Only", "It's a Sony", "like.no.other" and "make-believe". Its current slogan is "BE MOVED”. During the 1990s, Sony transformed itself from electronics manufacturer to global entertainment company, establishing a leading position in music, movies and computer gaming (“AdbrandsWeekly.”2015). But those new ventures distracted attention from the company's core business, which is now struggling to maintain its position in the rapidly changing marketplace. Sony invented the concept of portable personal music players and dominated that sector for...

...the industry with the introduction of it’s first-ever color graphics. Company sales jumped from $7.8 million in 1978 to $117 million in 1980. Apple Computers, Inc. went public on December 20, 1980, selling 4.6 million shares priced at $22 per share. This was the largest initial public offering since Ford in 1956. Between 1986 and 1996, Apple experimented with various consumer products such as digital cameras, portable CD players, and TV appliances but was unsuccessful in penetrating the markets for these products. These failures resulted in share and stock prices plummeting. By 1997, Apple asked Steve Jobs to become the interim CEO and help the company. This decision became the turning point of the company; with the introduction of new products such as the iPod, iTunes, iPhone, etc. These sectors became the company’s most profitable products. Present Apple continues to be innovative and remain focused on satisfying personal consumer demands. With the release of a new product, the company strives to improve performance and stability in addition to introducing new features. Apple released a smartwatch called the Apple Watch which was launched on April 24, 2015. Its goal is to free consumers from their phones by relying on wirelessly connected iPhone’s to perform many of its default functions such as calling and texting (Wikipedia,...

...For the exclusive use of L. Jobard, 2015. IMB 443 SEEMA GUPTA VOLKSWAGEN IN INDIA In just 4 years since Volkswagen (VW) set up its India operations, it had captured a 3.6% market share – something the Detroit giants had not been able to do after more than a decade in the country (Exhibit 1). VW was the flagship brand of the Volkswagen group, which also owned Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, SEAT, and Skoda. In India, the group was present with Skoda, Audi, and VW. 1 Maik Stephan, Managing Director, Volkswagen Group Sales India said: While three brands give us the collective power, we have to be careful to market them uniquely so that we are not chasing the same customer. i In 2011, the group’s worldwide revenues and net profit were Euro 159 billion and 15.8 billion, respectively. Headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, the group operated more than 60 plants around the world. It was the second largest automaker behind General Motors. It had a market share of 12.3% in 2011. Its core markets were Germany and China. It was the market leader in Europe with a 20% market share. It aimed to become the world’s largest automaker by 2018. With a growth of 30% in the Indian automobile industry, India was to play an important role in realizing the group’s global ambitions. ii VW targeted to increase the market share of its flagship brand in India from 3.6% to 5% by 2015. Neeraj Garg, Director, VW Group Sales India said: We have to transition from launch stage to growth stage of...

...It is intriguing that enough time has passed from the Second World War and the film’s released that public perception of Patton as a historical figure and the film are intertwined. In fact, George S. Patton’s official biographer, Martin Blumenson notes that “George C. Scott’s role as the general in the film Patton is a remarkably accurate portrayal of the public figure.” Careful attention was paid to the historical accuracy of the film despite Francis Ford Coppola, the screenwriter, being unable to gain permission from Patton’s widow to access personal diaries and attain family involvement in the film. Involvement from historical figures was gathered through General Omar Bradley who was consulted as a historical advisor. Alan Landau from Brooklyn College noted that the film appeared to have an inherent bias due to Bradley’s involvement but others disagree, indicating that the film maintains a good balance. Adding onto the intertwined nature of film and figure, Carlo D’Este, an American military scholar, has identified Patton as the reason why the military general is revered as an American hero today. Patton remains a relic of the 1970s due to it being one of two films shot in the Dimension...

...9 -7 1 6 -4 0 1 JUNE 25, 2015 DAVID B. YOFFIE ERIC BALDWIN Apple’s Future: Apple Watch, Apple TV, and/or Apple Car? Since the release of the iPod in 2001, Apple had been probably the most successful technology company in the world. It revolutionized three businesses in the next 10 years: music, smartphones, and tablets. When Steve Jobs died in 2011, it was up to his successor, Tim Cook, to revolutionize the next set of industries. In 2015, Cook appeared to have three potential targets: watches (wearables), television, and cars. All three were bets on highly uncertain futures. Watches were off to a promising start in their first quarter of shipments, but it was far too early to declare victory. Television seemed ripe for disruption, but many firms had tried and failed to change the TV landscape. And cars, of course, represented the biggest opportunity as well as the biggest leap for Apple. Financially, Tim Cook and his team were unconstrained: Apple was the most profitable company on the planet in the fourth quarter of 2014, generating $18 billion in net income (Exhibit 1). However, Steve Jobs had famously said that Apple’s success came “from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We’re always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it’s only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.”1 The big questions for Tim Cook and his team included: Were watches, TVs,...

...Final Report Team B: Legacy Consultants Ian Byrne, Darcy Cafiero, Sierra Collins, Tim Downen, Alvis Ford BUS 460 Senior Project Professor Maureen Lockwood DeVry University October 20, 2011 Executive Summary A comprehensive look into CanGo has led to a number of conclusions and recommendations by Legacy Consultants. A SWOT analysis of the company shows that there are good opportunities for expansion into other markets and that the threats and weaknesses that exist can be overcome or managed by an already dedicated senior staff with some additional training and direction. Product delivery and customer service can be streamlined by utilizing updated technology such as an AS/RS in CanGo’s warehouses. An online customer support and service center will improve customer experiences. A competitive advantage can be expected with state of the art product delivery and improved customer service. Strategically, CanGo needs to expand in order to stay ahead of growing competition. Legacy Consultants recommends purchasing Webjouster as the way to enter into online gaming. CanGo should stay away from offering violent games in order to maintain brand integrity. Server capacity should be increased in order to accommodate expansion demand with minimal down-time.
