...University of Southern California Marshall School of Business BUAD 307 Lars Perner, Ph.D., Instructor Marketing Fundamentals Fall, 2010 SUMMARY OF CLASSROOM MATERIAL INTEGRATED MARKETING COMMUNICATION AND PROMOTION BACKGROUND Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) involves the idea that a firm’s promotional efforts should be coordinated to achieve the best combined effects of the firm’s efforts. Resources are allocated to achieve those outcomes that the firm values the most. Promotion involves a number of tools we can use to increase demand for our The most well known component of promotion is advertising, but we can also use tools such as the following: Public relations (the firm’s staff provides information to the media in the hopes of getting coverage). This strategy has benefits (it is often less expensive and media coverage is usually more credible than advertising) but it also entails a risk in that we can’t control what the media will say. Note that this is particularly a useful tool for small and growing businesses— especially those that make a product which is inherently interesting to the audience. Trade promotion. Here, the firm offers retailers and wholesalers temporary discounts, which may or may not be passed on to the consumer, to stimulate sales. Sales promotion. Consumers are given either price discounts, coupons, or rebates. Personal selling. Sales people either make “cold” calls on potential customers and/or respond to inquiries. In-store displays...

...African American Stereotypes in Movies Media Research Methods CO 455 November 20, 2012 African American Stereotypes in Movies Introduction There once was a time when everyone expected the black man to be the first actor to die in every movie that possessed a black man in its cast. However, over time the assumption of the black man being the first to die has changed. Currently in the year 2012, there are progressively more movies in which black men portray leading roles. This change in black men as leading characters in movies is a welcome change. In the past, supporting or backup roles were considered the best role a black man could achieve. In this paper, the researcher will conduct information by means of content analysis. Content analysis is the most commonly used methodology because of its ability to measure human behavior, assuming that the verbal behavior is a form of behavior. This study will examine specific media products and define these products by determining smaller elements that complement these products. This document will address a wide view of concerns regarding the African American culture, and will provide assumptions on how this issue can be addressed in the future. The stereotype of African Americans in movies today, is the topic of this research paper. Why do African Americans face stereotypes in the media? Why do black actors and actresses have difficulty obtaining roles that are not stereotypical...

...For the exclusive use of X. Guo, 2016. 9-801-447 REV: JUNE 13, 2002 GUHAN SUBRAMANIAN Frasier (A) Just one day into his new job at the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), and Mark Graboff had a problem. Graboff was leading the team that was responsible for renegotiating the rights to Frasier, a popular television show that would play a critical role in NBC’s fall 2001 programming lineup. While Paramount, the owner of the show, seemed to be demanding $8 million per episode in the press, NBC had calculated that it would have to pay under $5 million in order to make a profit on the show. Multiplying by 24 episodes per season, and multiplying again by the three-year term that Paramount was insisting on, the gap seemed insurmountable. Making matters worse, the most likely other bidder for the show was the Columbia Broadcasting th System (CBS), a rival network to NBC and Graboff’s former employer. “On November 13 [2000], my last day at CBS, I was putting the finishing touches on CBS’s contract extension to Everybody Loves Raymond,” recalled Graboff. “And I was thinking, ‘Thank goodness this deal is almost done.’ The next day I began at NBC, and I was faced with an equally arduous negotiation.” Graboff watched the sun set over the Los Angeles skyline as he began familiarizing himself with the background documents on the negotiation. Industry Background Behind the glitz and the glamour, the stars and the scandals, Hollywood is, at its core, a business. Studios...

His recruitment specialist sits glumly across from his desk, pondering what kind of response to give to the inevitable question, “Why are our recruitment costs so high?” Next to the specialist sits James Garrett, a business research consultant who has been hired by the Deland Trucking Company to get a handle on the recruitment expenses the company has seen skyrocket over the last six months. “I just don’t get it,” David sighs in frustration. “We have seen a 45 percent increase in our trucker recruitment advertising costs, and our trucker intake and orientation expenses are killing us! James, I just don’t understand what is happening here.” James and the specialist have had some initial discussions, but there is no easy way to reduce those costs without reducing the number of truckers that Deland hires. “Perhaps we can...
