...2013 Understanding the Job No one escapes milk. From birth to infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, milk accompanies every person’s journey through life. Milk is the first thing babies taste outside their mother’s protection and it is a primary ingredient of cheese, a widely favored addition to food served throughout one’s lifetime, or butter, that is just as popular and widely used flavor enhancer. Others use milk for practical applications at home. Everyone knows milk and its use at home and commerce is vast and extensive. However, its most basic utility is to provide nutrition. The following discussions describe the job of milk, specifically cow’s milk, using Clay Christensen’s milkshake analogy and explain the role of marketing in affecting consumer behavior by using strategies to attract target markets. The job of milk Breakfast usually involves food and milk. At the morning table, people use milk as a beverage to complement cereal, an additive to coffee, a simple refreshment to break the evening fast, or a complete source of protein for most. Using Clay Christensen’s model, people hire milk to satisfy hunger upon waking up in the morning, add flavor to other foods or drinks, and provide nutrition to men, women, and children who need calcium, vitamin D, protein, and other essential nutrients. Throughout the day, people hire milk to perform the jobs mentioned without limitation to time or place. Milk is convenient and it gets the job of keeping people...

...‘Got Milk?’ In 1993, the sales of milk are falling out as Americans switched to other drinks. The California Milk Processor Board launched the ‘Got Milk?’ campaign created by the agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners to promote to all people of all ages to drink more milk. ‘Got Milk?’ is a very influential advertising campaign that has gained over the years and continues to provide awareness for nutritional benefits of milk (Holt). The ads always use familiar faces to promote their products. The public is more likely to spend money to something they believe that they are trustworthy. An example of this ad is from Sports Illustrated magazine September 1999 issue featuring tennis stars and sisters Venus and Serena Williams. Famous for their colorful beaded braids and on-court success, these athletes have paired up off court with a milk mustache to encourage both young and adults especially those who lead active lifestyles to drink milk and get all the health benefits from it. The ethical appeal in this ad is very noticeable from the moment you look at it. “The ‘Got Milk?’ campaign is one of the most recognized and respected advertising campaigns, having earned a place in advertising history,” says milkdelivers.org. The ‘Got Milk?’ campaign ad has increased the production and consumption of milk products in California. A company that is known for its success has been around for years and still going means that their credibility is unquestionable. This may be one of the reasons...

...The Real California Cheese case study 1/ Analyse the “Happy Cows” campaign that was developed for the California Milk Advisory Board to promote Real California Cheese from an integrated marketing communications perspective. Why do you think the campaign has been so successful? The Happy Cows campaign developed by the CMAB contributed to create a distinct identity that is the focal point of their integrated marketing communications program. This campaign has been successful because it is really customer-orientated, using emotions and humour to reach customers. Indeed customers can easily remember the brand because it puts them in a good mood and leaves a positive image. Moreover, with humour, the campaign is more accessible and the company can reach a larger variety of consumers of all ages. Everyone can easily understand the message of the brand. The company succeeded in making creative campaign to create a real brand identity with a combination of many factors, including their name, logo, as well as their image or associations: the cow that comes to mind when consumers think about them. The use of the cow in the campaign helps to tell how California cheese is better because it comes from contented cows The success of the TV commercials has allowed the company to extend their campaign on other medias such as radio, billboard and Internet. As people had already images of the cows in their head they were able to visualize when listening to 60 second...

But when it’s right, it’s the most satisfying career path a person can pursuit. We might be thinking what is the suitable path for us to be a successful person in future. Regardless of our definition of success, there are a great number of common characteristics that are shared by successful entrepreneurs. Even if you don't have these characteristics, don't fret. Most can be learned with practice and by developing a positive attitude, especially if you set goals and produce a strategic long term planning. Entrepreneurship brings the meaning of the willingness to develop , to organize and to manage a business venture along with its risk to in order to make profit and to produce a successful business. There are a few local Malaysian entrepreneurs that are well known in the global business market which are listed by Forbes. HENRY SY Henry Sy’srise to the top is a feel good story for the ages.

...whereby the plaintiff seeks, first, a determination that the contract wherein the plaintiff agreed to supply milk to the defendant school district at an agreed price be terminated without further liability on the grounds of legal "impossibility' or "impracticality' because of the occurrence of events not contemplated by the parties which makes performance impracticable and, second, a determination that the defendant school district has authority to unilaterally relieve the plaintiff of its contract without violating Article 8, Section 1 of the New York State Constitution. We commend counsel on the quality of their briefs. The background of this dispute is that the price of raw milk at the farm site is and has been controlled for many years in this area by the United States Department of Agriculture through the New York-New Jersey Market Administrator. The president of the plaintiff milk dealer has for at least ten years bid on contracts to supply milk for the defendant school district and is thoroughly conversant with prices and costs. Though the plaintiff avers that the defendant was aware of the prices of raw milk and the profit picture, the fiscal officer of the defendant denies that either the price of raw milk or the profit structure of suppliers was known or of any concern to him or the defendant. The defendant's only concern was the assurance of a steady supply of milk for the school lunch program at an agreed price on which the school's budget had to be based. The mandated...

Myriad organizations rank companies on the performance of their corporate social responsibility (CSR), and, despite sometimes questionable methodologies, these rankings attract considerable publicity. As a result, CSR has emerged as an inescapable priority for business leaders in every country. Many companies have already done much to improve the social and environmental consequences of their activities, yet these efforts have not been nearly as productive as they could be – for two reasons.

...Ethnic Food Restaurant Business Plan 1.0 Executive Summary Our initial statement to Investors and Financial Lenders is a candid disclosure of the Zara Restaurant & Lounge business proposal - our intent is to set realistic business expectations, and eliminate any questions about the profitability of this business venture. Entrepreneurs have a tendency to paint the business plan with a very optimistic brush, highlighting strengths and camouflaging the risks. We, as business owners, have a vested stake and financial commitment in the success of this restaurant. Our intent is to have a definitive business, financial, and marketing plan that not only serves our need for capital financing, but is utilized as our daily business roadmap. We have taken all precautions to validate our business and financial models, focusing on realistic projections. We have accomplished this as follows: Our financial model is rooted in industry facts, not optimism. We have based costs on our vast industry and practical experience with similar ventures, validation against National Restaurant industry cost averages, and analysis against local Atlanta market averages. We have taken a collective look at all figures to make solid business estimates. Our business concept was derived from detailed Market Analyses. Instead of building a business around a preconceived concept, we analysed the market findings and built a concept around our consumers. In other words, our business is built to service an...
