...My family is in the process of re-opening a small business to the north of Atlanta, Georgia call The Cake Shoppe (bakery). We are in the middle of a complete re-model, and this section has been very enlightening for me as I assist them. I found that one of the most important concepts for The Cake Shoppe, especially during this remodel, is technological forces (pg 67), which is defined as “inventions or innovations from applied science or engineering research” (Kern, Hartley, & Rudelius, 2012, pg 67). The previous owners did not use social media or advertise at all, so the new branding of our new products and lines, social media networking and electronic commerce, which is “any activity that uses some form of electronic communiciation in the inventory, exchange, advertisement, distribution, and payment of goods” (Kern, Hartley, & Rudelius, 2012), will be extremely important. We are in the process of re-vamping our logos to make them more appealing for the website, creating social media accounts for the bakery, and even producing online advertising via social networking, online giveaways, and e-mail coupons. Utilizing online savings websites like Groupon and Living Social to promote our business has boosted sales tremendously. Another very important concept is competitive forces (pg 68). Competition is “alternative firms that could provide a product to satisfy a specific market’s needs” (Kern, Hartley, & Rudelius, 2012, pg 68). I believe that attracting customers is...

...DIETER’S DELECTABLES Ltd. For many years, Mr. Dieter Bachembesser served as pastry chef at several of Toronto’s finest hotels, earning a reputation as one of the most knowledgeable people in the field of fine baking. In 1993, he used this knowledge to start Dieter’s Delicacies, a small firm that that sold fine baked goods to several of the area’s finest caterers. These products were made according to Dieter’s own specifications by Browne’s Bakery, a reputable producer of baked goods. While Dieter’s Delicacies was only a small part-time venture, it was financially successful, and Dieter’s reputation spread. In 1999, Dieter decided to quit working for hotels and to start his own business, Dieter’s Delectables Ltd., with himself as president and general manager. This new company operated in a similar manner to Dieter’s Delicacies, in that it did not produce goods, but rather operated in the distribution and wholesale business. Dieter’s purchased its entire product line from Browne’s Bakery, with whom Dieter had established a very satisfactory working relationship, and distributed and resold these to a variety of retail outlets under the company’s own private label brand of Dieter’s Delicacies. In its first year of operation, Dieter’s Delectables’ sales were $150,000. As its reputation for quality and customer service spread, sales grew rapidly, in large part due to Dieter’s knowledge and his personal selling efforts, as well as effective merchandising techniques.

...Since I have nothing to relate to this book, the experience I had while reading this book was incredible. While reading the book, I gained knowledge that can be used for a lifetime. The novel made me stop and think about my attitude and the impact it has on others. Jay Asher is a fabulous writer that explains reality in a convincing way. He uses such precise detail that I often connect with the situations included. I finished this novel in 4 days, meaning that it was almost impossible to set it down, alongside all of the things I have. The setting, plot, and characters were phenomenal. Although this book was breathtaking, I was disappointed to see that Hannah Bakers parents were not involved. I was left questioned at whether her parents were able to bear the grief and sadness. The marvelous novel of Thirteen Reasons Why is written by Jay Asher. They say dead girls don’t talk, but that’s where they’re wrong. They talk, but most people are too scared to listen. Hannah’s dead. Two weeks after Hannah Baker’s death, Clay Jensen hears her voice one last time-on a “Baker’s dozen” of cassette tapes she made. Seven double side tapes with thirteen stories of thirteen people-thirteen people who killed her. Clay was mailed Hannah’s obscure suicide note because he's one of the reasons that she died. That she killed herself, one of the reasons she gave up. On the tapes she explained that her death started with a rumor and the reputation the rumor gave her, highlighting the connections...

The primary case participants are: Amy Scherber, owner of Amy’s Bread Toy Kim Dupree – manager of Amy’s Bread who is very involved in day to day operations and decision making. 2.) The organization is Amy’s bread. The industry is baked goods. 3.) The problems facing this organization in order of importance are: the existing workload is too great for space making product expansion impossible. They are at a threat of having customers turn away if they cannot provide the service. The location offers poor access to distribution and is a poor location for retail traffic should the organization try to move more toward sector. The employees face physically demanding challenges from the bread making techniques. Due to these techniques more employees are needed resulting in high overheads. Employees have also been facing allergies and health problems as a result of a long time of exposure to the product. 4.)

This is the most significant problem because without adequate space the company will not be able to meet current customer’s needs nor will be able to meet the needs of potential new customers. 5.)

...3 Fellers is a bakery located in Goochland, Virginia and specialized in gluten-free baking goods. The business was founded by Susan Feller in 2007. Susan was a guidance counselor, who was passionate about baking. However she was diagnosed with Celiac disease, which forced her to eat gluten-free. But as she didn’t want to give up her passion, she developed flour mixes and recipes for gluten-free baked goods.
