...in the Workplace By University of Phoenix Mgt/308 August 24, 2011 Diversity in the workplace is a subject that has gained increased attention in the workplace, not only just here in this country over the past few years. After all, the impact of affirmative action and equal employment opportunity programs on the nation's work force is undeniable. Women and minorities were the first to dramatically alter the face of the economic mainstream, while gays, persons with disabilities and senior citizens followed not far behind. The result is a diverse American labor force representing a microcosm of our society - yet one that continues to struggle with its identity. Diversity as a social condition is not new to America. According to the History Channel “We were founded as a nation of Diversity. And America has always been a merger of cultures and, as such, has undergone periods of discomfort as the world's melting pot” (HistoryChannel.com). The sense and nature of pride in diversity has led the nation to where we are today as a country. It is important to identify various dimensions of workplace diversity. The first dimension involves primary levels of diversity. That is, people with disabilities, gender, race, color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, creed, religion, and age are primary dimensions of diversity. Managers must recognize that there is a need to train, inform, and sensitize their employees to deal with issues relating to this type of diversity. Consequently, managers...

...Summary of article: No matter the size or type of business, the area of customer service has evolved as technology evolved. The article read this week discusses three ways customer service has changed and how organizations can adapt to those changes. Customers are concerned about the service they receive from businesses and the price of a product that is needed. With that in mind, customer service has changed according to the article in three ways: consumer empowerment, more service channels with a tailored approach (social media), and collaboration (Fallon, 2014). Furthermore, customers have the power when it comes to their brand perception because of the internet. The internet is the consumer’s voice to review and rate products, service, and organizations. The president and CEO of TeamSupport state that social media and product reviews are areas where consumers can let the entire world know about a poor experience or product (Fallon, 2014, para. 3). On the other hand, social media allows consumers’ to attack brands which require organizations to turn away from “business hours only” expectations (Fallon, 2014, para. 4). As I continued to read, the article highlighted that organizations are offering more tailored service channels for customers to directly connect with the company. Doing so allows the company to keep up with consumer demands and prevent negative feedback towards their reputation. For example, Simon Chkifati stated that successful businesses need to become...

...Marketing Final Project Team 1 Ryan Marshall, Manuela Antonova, and Joshua Booth Mr. Coffee Smart Optimal Brew WeMo Enabled Marketing Plan Executive Summary A recent primary research survey has found that 70% of occasional coffee drinkers view the Mr. Coffee brand as an inferior or budget coffee brewing device that does not make a superior cup of coffee (Appendix, Opinion survey). Brands such as Keurig, Cuisinart, and DeLonghi inspire more thoughts of quality coffee than Mr. Coffee. Other consumers are opting to spend several dollars per cup of coffee at coffee houses such as Starbucks, Caribou Coffee, Dunkin Donuts, and even McDonalds (Appendix, Opinion survey). Mr. Coffee is a part of American iconography appearing in movies, books, and other arenas of pop culture. It appeared in loosely translated interpretations in the Back to the Future movie trilogy of the as 1980’s as “Mr. Fusion”, it was referenced in the TV show Seinfield, and in the title of the short story by Raymond Carver, “Mr. Coffee and Mr. Fixit.” According to a recently conducted survey Mr. Coffee was the most identifiable home coffee brewer. Brand recognition is not a problem in the current marketing environment. Mr. Coffee has many entries into the home coffee making market. Most of the devices are on the lower end of the price scale and easily obtained at every local big box store. These devices are sold alongside similar devices presented by direct competitors with very little differentiation. Recent...

Your paper will include a title page, an outline, a body, and a works cited page in this order. I will give you the time and the resources to write this paper, and I will tell you how to write and guide you as you go. I even will try to get you research materials. The rest is up to you (History).

...Jonathan Brill MKTG-522 Executive Summary Banana Republic has a brand problem. It is falling by the wayside. Banana Republic needs to be renewed and evolve to the ever changing consumer environment. With this IMC plan Banana Republic will rise to the top again and become a top competing brand in the retail clothing industry. Through some research we have established an IMC that will bring about ultimate success for Banana Republic. We will start by the creation of a new branch of Banana Republic with a new target market that seems to have a lot of control and power these days on what is trendy and what isn’t. This market is what I would consider the young professional group, consisting of both males and females that are in the stage of their life where they have either graduated high school, in college, or graduated college and are starting their own lives. The IMC plan suggests the creation of the new brand Banana Republic Young or better know as BRY. Like mentioned it will cater to the young professional group and we will reach them through multiple ways. We will reach out to them through magazine, TV, radio, internet, and through our public relations to rebuild a better brand of Banana republic and to make what was once a very successful company successful again. Introduction Banana Republic was founded in 1978 by Mel and Patricia Ziegler in San Francisco California and is a subsidiary of The Gap (Banana Republic Inc. History). It originated as a safari and travel...
