...Levels of management Managers are organizational members who are responsible for the work performance of other organizational members. Managers have formal authority to use organizational resources and to make decisions. In organizations, there are typically three levels of management: top-level, middle-level, and first-level. These three main levels of managers form a hierarchy, in which they are ranked in order of importance. In most organizations, the number of managers at each level is such that the hierarchy resembles a pyramid, with many more first-level managers, fewer middle managers, and the fewest managers at the top level. Top-Level Managers Top-level managers, or top managers, are also called senior management or executives. These individuals are at the top one or two levels in an organization, and hold titles such as: Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Chief Operational Officer (COO), Chief Information Officer (CIO), and Chairperson of the Board, President, Vice president, and corporate head. Middle-Level Managers Middle-level managers, or middle managers, are those in the levels below top managers. Middle managers' job titles include: General Manager, Plant manager, Regional manager, and Divisional manager. Middle-level managers are responsible for carrying out the goals set by top management.

...Hershey Food Company was the first to bring out chocolates in the currently popular solid form. The main ingredient of chocolates is cocoa, grown mainly on the equatorial zones of South America. The other ingredients that go into the making of chocolates are: sugar, milk solids, and permitted emulsifiers. Cocoa constitutes nearly 40% of the total raw material cost. The following report attempts to make a study on the chocolate industry and the position of the chocolate brand, Cadbury. The brand name chosen is the umbrella brand as we feel that the corporate name is recognised as a brand, not so much its individual products. The study will focus on the marketing and advertising strategy employed by Cadbury in the context of the Indian macro environment and industry structure. The advertising strategy will be studied with respect to Cadbury's business and marketing objectives. The strategies adopted will be analyzed for each product offering. The same is followed to a minimal extent for its major competitor, Nestle India Limited, to get an understanding of where Cadbury stands. The report initially focuses on an examination of the industry environment and the product class. The report then goes on to analyse the corporate, marketing and advertising strategies adopted by the selected company and its main competitor. It concludes by looking at the future challenges and recommendations for the industry and the company. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter...

Environmental Group Greenpeace immediately requested Nestle to “give the rainforest a break” by ending its business partnership with Sinar Mas, its palm oil supplier in Indonesia, as soon as possible. The report spurred Nestle to cancel its contract with Sinar Mas—months after Sinar Mas was shown to be involved in illegal deforestation—but the corporation continues to purchase oil palm from Cargill, which is supplied in part by Sinar Mas. For its part, Cargill says it is investigating Greenpeace's allegations and if Sinar Mas is found to be committing illegal deforestation they will drop...

...NESTLÉ NESVITA Cereal Milk Drink By Ma. Cristina Villanueva INTRODUCTION In 1994, NESTLÉ launched the first of its kind instant cereal beverage under the brand NESVITA in the Philippines. This was the first product launched by NESTLÉ under the NESVITA brand name. NESTLÉ NESVITA Cereal Milk Drink truly was a revolutionary product back then since it was harping towards the benefits of convenience and healthy nutrition. Since 1994 until the late 90’s, NESTLÉ NESVITA Cereal Milk Drink was the only instant cereal beverage in the market.
