There are various problems within CanGo that are limiting the continued success that the company desires. CanGo must analyze what is in place currently with their technology, customer service process, marketing, etc. CanGo lacks discipline and leadership with successfully planning for the implementation of new projects and the ability to see them through. Much research must and should be conducted in order to identify how to proceed and what is necessary to obtain the proper results. 1. CanGo lacks results * This can be referred to as problem recognition. Why is it that customers are not buying a particular product? Why are there a high percentage of customers who do not complete their orders? Does this have to do with the way the product is being presented, or does their decision have to do with personal issues? A way to recognize these issues would be to conduct surveys. a. Recommendation- Know who your target market is so that you won’t advertise and sell the product to the wrong audience. CanGo should conduct a survey so that it may identify who our target market...

CanGo is an online company that offers a variety of products ranging from books and videos to online gaming. CanGo is known for having the best service in terms of product and support. Although CanGo is a break-out company, there are some issues that have been identified when it comes to the company having a complete vision for what the company wants to accomplish as well as where the company sees itself in the future. During the course of six weeks, there have been many issues identified regarding the structure and function of the company. Along with these issues that have been identified and the recommendations that were made, if CanGo puts these ideas into practice, this company can go above and beyond original company and market expectations. Issues and Recommendations The first issue was brought to our attention was the fact that the organization had no vision for the future. Due to the fact that there was no initial vision for CanGo, the company likely missed out on a lot of opportunities over the years. Any opportunity can be an opportunity for growth and achievement...

...in discussions to learn and discover the business and needs of CanGo operations. During this period, Strategy One has identified areas that present specific operations issues and has made recommendations for each of these areas below. The issues discovered and discussed are strategic planning, organization, finance, project management, a project team, and project resource allocation and are presented in the information below with recommended resolutions. Week 1 Issues Issue #1 The first issue identified by Strategy One is in the area of strategic planning. CanGo has been a successful company to date by being a trail blazer and leader in the online retail resource vertical. In order for CanGo to continue its success, remain a leader and expand its offerings, strategic planning must be implemented in the management of the company. “The strategic management process is made up of four elements: situation analysis, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and strategy evaluation. These elements are steps that are performed, in order, when developing a new strategic management plan. Existing businesses that have already developed a strategic management plan will revisit these steps as the need arises, in order to make necessary changes and improvements.” (Bushman, 2007) There is an admitted lack of planning in the current organization. By documenting the trending in what has been successful; CanGo will be able to remain an industry leader as long as this planning...

...CanGo’s Week 2 Analysis As CanGo keeps growing as a leading business in the online entertainment industry, it requires some changes to face the challenges growing businesses have. Team A Consulting, one of the best consulting groups in the nation, will create a plan of action for CanGo to continue their success as an online internet entertainment business. During the last two weeks we have recognized the following challenges that CanGo faces in achieving their goals of being a dominant player in the online entertainment market. Additionally, we have added recommendations on how the company can overcome those problems. 1. Issue One CanGo does not have a formal mission and value statement. Liz, the CEO became the Business Leader of the year and was asked to give a presentation on how and why CanGo became successful. Additionally, the company does not have an outlined business strategy. Recommendation One CEO together with the help of the management team should create a vision and mission statement that highlights the values and goals of the company towards their clients and future in the online entertainment market. This will enable them to be more successful and attract more capital from investors in their online gaming plans. According to Dess “Managers often search continually for the one elusive solution that will solve their firm’s problems—that is, the next holy grail of management. Furthermore, presentation on the company’s mission and operation strategy will depict...

...Understanding Consumer Behavior Week 3 and 4 CanGo Analysis Report Team D – The Achievers Joselyn Palmeri Rodger Phillips Viridiana Saenzpardo Brenda Thomas Carlene Watson Business 460 Senior Project February 3, 2013 Issue #1: No process flow chart, complaints and returns were biggest problems last year – Rodger Phillips Implementing a process flow chart for the processes at CanGo is important, because they do not currently have one and it would really benefit the company as a whole. It is also important because helps with accountability and knowing who, what, when, where, and why. Recommendation #1 By creating a flow chart, CanGo will be better able to more easily manage processes at CanGo. The flow chart will help break down the overall processes into sub-processes. That is what makes them easier to manage. Complaints and returns were the biggest complaints from the previous year. If CanGo implements the use of a flow chart, they will be able to break down the process of handling customer service into sub-processes. The sub-processes would include taking phone calls, responding to emails, shipping, inventory, and finance. 2) Still little financing available 3) Sales = Evaluation and purchase fall off in purchases 4) Lack of knowledge pertaining to who is buying and where they are located 5) Lack of efficiency in picking orders in warehouse Issue #2: CanGo must find hidden clients to increase marketing and sales strategies – Brenda Thomas Behind...

...One Step Ahead Consultant CanGo Week 4 Analysis Team B: One Step Ahead Submitted By: Vivian Thomas, Isabella Rishmawy, Joyce Kimani and Rachelle Green March 31, 2013 One Step Ahead Consultant CanGo Week 4 Analysis Team B: One Step Ahead Submitted By: Vivian Thomas, Isabella Rishmawy, Joyce Kimani and Rachelle Green March 31, 2013 One Step Ahead Consultant is looking into focusing on improving CanGo operation system which involves the implementation of the best layout system that will provide an effective flow of production such as barcoding of each product and to advance to a more efficient technology system such as the ASRS (automated storage and retrieval system). The expectation of the ASRS will cut down the production time tremendously and eliminate a lot of human error that can take place during the production stage. The expectation of the new layout will also contribute to decreasing the production time but also generate a better flow of product(s) that take place from the input of raw material to the output of finished goods and to the hands of each of CanGo consumers. Overall the ending result is to ensure that CanGo consumers receive quality products that they can rely on, that will contribute to increasing the company brand and to meet their short and long term strategic goals. Another section that One Step Ahead Consultant group will like to focus toward is improving the online service provided to CanGo consumer to ensure that each online shopping...

...-1 introductory video, CanGo seems to be doing very well in the market place. This was evidence by the telephone call that was made to Liz by the President of the Hudson Valley business association. When Liz was inverted to speak at the Hudson Valley business meeting to share her expertise with the rest of the business community, she could not define how the business was organized the system she and her management team have used to be so successful in the Hudson Valley. She could not clearly say where she came from as a business, where she is and where she will be going as a business. This seems clear to us that CanGo lacks a mission statement for the smooth operation of the business. If CanGo continue on this path, the company may and will experience major setbacks in areas of business growth and development, accountability and the ability to stay in the market places if other market forces come against her. Recommendation: CanGo like any other business is in the market place to survive and be profitable. Therefore if CanGo must survive and be competitive it must develop a mission statement as a foundation for survival. This statement will define the goals and operations of the business and the purpose for which it was established. 2. CanGo Ethical and Moral Values Due to the absence of an established mission statement the importance of ethical code of conducts cannot be overemphasized. The moral and ethical values of any establishment like CanGo, is based on professionalism...

...Raouf Ghattas January 20, 2013 Issue 1: CanGo is in need of a formal business plan. A formal business plan includes a mission and vision statement to help define the business and where the company would like to go in the future. As the owner/operator of CanGo, Elizabeth never developed a formal business plan for the business from the beginning and therefore had no documented blueprint for the business to speak of. Perfect starting issue! Recommendation: A business plan is a written document that demonstrates persuasively that enough products or services can be sold at a profit for your firm to become a viable business. The three primary reasons for writing business plans are (1) to aid you in determining the feasibility of your business idea, (2) to attract capital for starting up, and (3) to provide direction for your business after it is in operation. CanGo needs a written that will help find omissions and flaws in their ideas by allowing other people to critically review and analyze the plan. A business plan tells you what your business objectives are; when, where, why, and how your business will accomplish its objectives; and who will be involved in running the business. This planning process will help define CanGo’s short term goals and help determine the actions that need to be taken to accomplish them and then gather and commit the necessary resources (Hatten, 2008). The mission statement needs to be in place so that CanGo is able to describe the overall purpose of...

...Marginal Analysis CanGo wants to branch out and focus sales on other products other than books. They are taking on a lot of financial responsibilities that may not be worthwhile for the company. CanGo wants to make the online gaming venture successful and wants to venture into different types of online sales. Recommendation: #1. CanGo is in need of a marginal analysis. A marginal analysis would include economic view of how the company would spend its dollar. The analysis would also be able to show the company whether the money is being spent necessarily. It will also let CanGo know whether they are able to take on new business ventures. The marginal analysis will assist CanGo with analytical decision making. #2. By doing a marginal analysis this will help CanGo decide whether employee shifting would be feasible or whether they should hire new staff. Even though the company would not be able to determine the exact outcome of the decision, the analysis will give them a rough idea of what to expect. Cost Benefit Analysis CanGo has not currently had a cost benefit analysis done on the company. With a cost benefit analysis, it gives the company an analysis of a business decision that they are proposing. This will give them an idea on whether the company is financially stable to take on a new project or venture. The cost benefit analysis would include all costs associated with the new venture including warehousing fees and price that the product will be sold for. This is...
