...beverages such as; fresh meats, seafood, produce, dairy, wine, and pastries. This paper will outline the internal and external drivers of innovation for the organization and will describe how innovation, design, and creative thinking will benefit the organization by meeting the certain objectives (Kudler Fine Foods, 2011). Benefits and Drivers Proposal Many argue that innovation is the most important internal as well as external driver. In order to know how to use innovation as a benefit, it is important to understand what innovation means. When referring to innovation, many often associated it with social networking sites, such as Facebook or YouTube, or technology like the iPhone. The term innovation may also get confused with creativity but these are two different things. According to Barry Conchie “Creativity may spur innovation, but there is an element of action missing there” (The Four Drivers of Innovation, 2014). One of the internal drivers of innovation is to find and foster talents. Individuals such as entrepreneurs or those who are achievers in their field are people who help drive innovation. Not only employees but also managers play an important role as part of the drivers of innovation. It takes more than only acknowledging employees for good work or ideas and that is why managers matter. One of the most powerful drivers is the relationship managers build with their employees. A connection between leaders and associates can help make a difference. For example...

...I. Marketing Background A. Overview of the Industry 1. Market Size Pizza Hut's smaller format store is about half the size and cost of its iconic red-roofed buildings. Chain began developing smaller stores three years ago. It so far has opened more than 300 and sees potential for 2,000 more in next five to 10 years. Pizza Hut is ordering up smaller restaurants. The iconic red-roofed chain, which saw its heyday in the 1980s, says downsizing and remodelling will allow it to open more restaurants and turn a profit faster for franchisees. Pizza Hut began developing this new model, dubbed Delco Lite, about three years ago when it realized delivery--which is the way most people prefer to receive their pizza--wasn't representing as much of the business as it once did. The new model opens up another 2,000 potential sites for Pizza Hut over the next five to 10 years. Pizza Hut, which is part of Yum Brands Inc. YUM, +0.60% has about 8,400 locations, most of which are the traditional, dine-in restaurants. Delco Lite trades the red roofs and dining rooms for a more contemporary design that fits in to tighter places and focuses more on delivery and carry-out. Pizza Hut has opened more than 300, and is mostly building them, in favor of the larger, stand-alone ones. The new model is about half the size of Pizza Hut's traditional restaurants and costs about half as much for franchisees to build, opening up more potential sites in the U.S. 2.

Bruce, a copywriter and Executive Creative Director, headed up the creative team on the Mountain Dew account for PepsiCo’s advertising agency, BBDO New York.

The marketing environment surrounds and impacts upon the organization. There are three key perspectives on the marketing environment, namely the 'macro-environment,' the 'micro-environment' and the 'internal environment'. [pic][pic][pic][pic][pic] The micro-environment This environment influences the organization directly. It includes suppliers that deal directly or indirectly, consumers and customers, and other local stakeholders. Micro tends to suggest small, but this can be misleading. In this context, micro describes the relationship between firms and the driving forces that control this relationship. It is a more local relationship, and the firm may exercise a degree of influence. The macro-environment This includes all factors that can influence and organization, but that are out of their direct control. A company does not generally influence any laws (although it is accepted that they could lobby or be part of a trade organization). It is continuously changing, and the company needs to be flexible to adapt. There may be aggressive competition and rivalry in a market. Globalization means that there is always the threat of substitute...

...stakeholders are as important to the company as their customers, keeping them in mind for every business decision made. They have 6 key stakeholders; consumers, customers, partners, teams, shareholders and communities. General Mills believes the success of their stakeholders is a success for the company, every decision they make must add value to for their stakeholders. In 2001 General Mills completed a merger with their long-time competitor, Pillsbury. Both sides of the merger felt this was the best decision for each company involved, General Mills felt it would add value to shareholders, while Pillsbury was just happy the business would stay local. The merger was complete with a $10.5 billion price tag and would total $13 billion in annual sales. The only problem was Pillsbury’s weak performance, causing layoffs for General Mills. The best solution to remedy this problem is for General Mills to get its thinking caps on and come up with a new innovative product line for Pillsbury. It will take time and a lot of effort, but in the end the benefits will improve the new company and get Pillsbury performing at the same level as General Mills. With a feasibility analysis complete, I have determined General Mills has what it takes to implement this solution and be successful. The issue of ethics and the law are also addressed briefly, since there is a lot legalities involved with creating a new product. Making sure General mills isn’t infringing on patents or copyrighted products, while...
