The marketer needs basic information to evaluate a country market’s potential, identify problems that would eliminate a country from further consideration, identify aspects of the country’s environment that need further study, evaluate the components of the marketing mix for possible adaptation, and develop a strategic marketing plan. One further use of the information collected in the preliminary analysis is as a basis for a country notebook. Many companies, large and small, have a country notebook for each country in which they do business. The country notebook contains information a marketer should be aware of when making decisions involving a specific country market. As new information is collected, the country notebook is continually updated by the country or product manager. Whenever a marketing decision is made involving a country, the country notebook is the first database consulted. New-product introductions, changes in advertising programs, and other marketing program decisions begin with the country notebook...

...Case Study #1: New Balance Introduction New Balance is a global athletic shoe and apparel company, founded in Boston in 1906 by a waiter named William J. Riley, who made arch supports for people who walked a lot (Veleva, 2010, p. 2). He began designing running shoes for local organizations and in the 1940s, New Balance was making custom shoes for many different sports, including running, basketball, baseball, tennis, and boxing and in the 1960s, started manufacturing shoes in varying widths in larger quantities (Veleva, 2010, p. 2). In 1972, the company was sold to James and Anne Davis for $100,000, who have owned New Balance ever since and in 2009, with James as chairman, and Anne as vice-chairman and executive vice-president, administration (Veleva, 2010, p. 2). James Davis saw great growth potential for the company after trying out the shoes himself (Veleva, 2010, p. 2). New Balance experienced enormous growth and its sales increased more than 600% between 1991 and 2008, achieving $1.61 billion in that year (Veleva, 2010, p. 3). The owners, James and Anne Davis had always operated New Balance in a socially responsible way, but did not have a formal CSR department or strategy for the business and did not advertise their CSR activities to the public (Veleva, 2010, p. 5). In 2006, James and Anne Davis formally integrated CSR into New Balance’s mission and values (Veleva, 2010, p. 5). Katherine Shepard, the company’s communications manager was promoted to the role of social...

...Businesses and institutions are growing in complexity and size. They are cutting across space and time by embracing technology, globalization and information. Mere operational efficiency is no more sufficient. Managerial capabilities have become necessary for firms to act on a global platform.

...BUSINESS PLAN What is a Business Plan? The Business Plan is perhaps the most important document an entrepreneur can create. The business plan helps guide the direction of the start-up company's first several years, as well as giving potential investors an idea of the company structure, goals and future plans. What are the parts of a Business Plan? The following information is taken from the "Business Plan Development Guide", written by Alex F. DeNoble and Audrey B. Voyles. Section 1 - The Executive Summary The purpose of the executive summary is to capture the interest of the investors/lenders so they will want to find out more about the venture. These investors are likely to spend no more than 3 to 5 minutes before making a preliminary decision about your proposal. Therefore, this section is first, and in some ways is most important. This section should emphasize key issues and be no longer than 2 to 3 pages. The following information should be addressed in the executive summary: * Company profile * Nature of the product/service being offered * Size and growth trend of the market * Make-up and background of the management team * Financing requirements * Key projections (sales, gross profits, net income) * Proposed use of funds * Proposed exit strategy including projected ROI The executive summary is written last, after the rest of the plan is completed. Section 2 - Business Description This section of the business plan should provide...

...What is a report? A report ‘reports’ on something in a concise, formal way using clearly defined sections presented in a standard format, which tell the reader what you did, why and how you did it and what you found. It is the formal writing up of a practical experiment, project or research investigation. A report is written in a way which presumes that the reader knows nothing about your experiment or research. It is usually written more concisely than an essay, with headings and sub-headings and perhaps bullet-point recommendations, etc. A research report must be written in sufficient detail so that someone reading it would be able to replicate your research exactly. It usually contains arguments and critical evaluation to support a proposed course of action, or to evaluate a business issue. BEFORE YOU START WRITING… • Firstly, check with your lecturer and the module handbook for precise instructions, i.e. the prescribed report structure, word count, deadline. All UHBS reports are module and assignment specific, so this guide only gives a very general idea of structure and content. • Be very detail minded. All UHBS reports will require accurate referencing, good clear English, professional presentation, i.e. clear structure, coherent, free of spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors. • If you are compiling a group report, assign roles. One person in the group could be assigned the role of ‘editor’ to finally ensure the report is put together...

...that ”Business started long centuries before the dawn of history, but business as we now know it is new – new in its broadening scope, new in its social significance. Business has not learned how to handle these changes, nor does it recognise the magnitude of its responsibilities for the future of civilization,”. We can say that corporate social responsibility is the balance between economic sustainability and social responsibilities . John Rockefeller said : “"I was trained from the beginning to work and save. I have always regarded it as a religious duty to get all I could honorably and to give all I could." . By definition, CSR refers to the "voluntary integration of corporate social and environmental concerns in their commercial operations and in their relations with the parties concerned,” according to The Green Book of the European Commission "Promoting a European framework for Corporate Social Responsibility" . With simple words CSR is whenever a businesses make contributions to the community , by which action showing that they are giving back to the people , which contributed for their flourishing . As a beginning let’s make something clear about the true meaning of CSR . It is not all about philanthropy or doing charity services. This being said does not make such activities unimportant....
