...Projective technique – Word associated Word association is a projective technique where the respondent is presented with a stimulus and is asked to respond with the first thing that comes to their mind when shown a given name, photo or event (Malhotra (1999)). According to Malhotra & Berks (2000) the assumption of using this technique is that the association allows respondents to reveal their inner feelings about the topic. Responses can be analysed by calculating either of the following: 1. The frequency of any word that is given as a response. 2. The amount of time it takes before a response is given (hesitation). 3. The number of respondents that don’t respond to the test word (blocking). If the respondent takes more than three seconds to answer a particular question this is called hesitation, and this indicates some comparison between emotional involvement from that chosen word. Which will mean sometimes the stimulus word will evoke such strong feeling that the respondent will be unable to give any response because of the ‘block’ (Chisnall (2005)). According to Kolb (2008) this technique gains emotional responses to questions instead of the respondents giving intellectual thoughts or information about the company so we thought that this would be an acceptable method to use as it offers something different than your traditional questionnaire for example. By us as the research team using this technique we may decide to ask the respondents to give the first...

...Kudler Fine Foods ERP Kudler Fine Foods ERP Kudler Fine Foods is a local upscale specialty food store located in the San Diego metropolitan area. They have three locations (La Jolla, Del Mar and Encinitas). Kudler’s owner Kathy Kudler works seven days a week visiting each store. Managers handle the day-to-day details, but Kathy handles the buying for the stores. Kathy and her team are looking to reorganize Kudler Fine Foods to lessen the workload for her and her management team.

After three years of rapid growth in a relatively young industry, the affiliate and payment processing company RevenueWire.com found itself operating in a very different environment. Sales growth in the company's affiliate network service had levelled off, and orders for Q1 2010 looked just like those for Q1 2009. New competitors, low entry barriers, and a plateau in the affiliate market meant few opportunities for growth across the industry. Despite those conditions, the company's owners had set aggressive revenue targets for 2010 to 2012. The general manager was responsible for growing RevenueWire’s network by helping affiliates increase sales and make more money. She was also charged with building merchant business: that meant signing on new merchants and convincing merchants to use RevenueWire as an end-to-end solution from finding affiliates to delivering an effective shopping cart and payment experience.

...Management Information Systems Introduction The objective of this assignment is to explore the coffee market in UK and understand the consumer preferences with aid of data resources and the outcome it would have on a new brand of Mysore coffee in the competitive UK coffee market. As the premium sectors develop in the UK, greater emphasis is placed on Arabica beans, with marketing and pack support centered on the provenance and taste credentials of specific beans. Arabica is fast becoming synonymous with premium quality, and this is likely to lead to increased prices, particularly as some countries are seeking to trademark native bean varieties. For instant, Ethiopia applied to trademark two different Arabica beans in the US in 2006 - called Sidamo and Harar (Source Mintel, Report 2006).

...Firms strive for sustainable competitive advantage, financial performance that consistently outperforms their industry peers. The world is so dynamic, with new products and new competitors rise seemingly overnight, that truly sustainable advantage might seem like impossibility, but there are winners and the Zara chain is one of them. The Zara fashion chain, founded in 1975 in Arteixo, is perhaps the world's most successful clothing chain. Zara has helped its parent, the Spanish firm Inditex, grow from obscurity in the mid. 90’s to the world's third largest pure-play fashion retailer after the Swedish H&M and US-based Gap Inc. with financial performance well ahead of these rivals. With 1021 shops, at 13.04.2007, in 55 countries, Zara appears to have found the formula for success: Give the public what it wants, at the lowest possible price, in the shortest time possible. In order to think about how the firms achieve sustainable advantage, it's useful to start with two concepts defined by Michael Porter: operational effectiveness and strategic positioning. (I) OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS According to Porter, the reason so many firms suffer aggressive, margin eroding competition, is because they've defined themselves according to operational effectiveness rather than strategic positioning. Operational effectiveness refers to performing the same tasks better than rivals perform them. Everyone wants to be better, but the danger in operational effectiveness is in "sameness". At its...
