...Qs. “The traditional elements of the Marketing Mix have become irrelevant in the modern world”. Give your reasoned view, either agreeing or disagreeing with the above statement. (Do not to exceed three pages {font type Times New Roman, size 12} in your answer). Ans. “The traditional elements of the marketing mix have become irrelevant in the modern world”. I do agree with the above statement with the following reasons:- Though “4Ps” still popular on college syllabi, they are becoming less and less relevant for professional marketers. That’s because in the real-time, digital world, the intersection of the 4 Ps – price, product, promotion, and place is constantly changing. New technologies allow and even require marketers and advertisers to understand consumer preferences and environment in real time to get the media exposure they desire. Although the core concepts of the 4 Ps are still essential, it’s clear that the marketing industry need a new guide to develop strategy and measure outcomes in the digital world. In fact, relevancy, not reach, is the new number of the game. Yet marketers have the same need that the original 4 Ps addressed identifying the core elements and principles that must be managed and optimized in order to drive a core success factor: relevancy. As per my opinion, the 4 Ps should an upgrade with the following new version:- 1. Preference: Modern marketing practices are founded on the belief that preferences matter- that what a consumer cares about...

...incident of globalization. Innovative technologies such as the Internet have facilitated the dismantling of national boundaries. As a consequence, the world is rapidly turning into one massive village; not only in political terms, but economic terms as well (Kemeny 2011, p. 17). At present, global exchanges and interactions continue to be the order of the day. All areas of society, including the economic aspects, are constantly being reshaped by the process of globalization as forces that outweigh and transcend national borders exert their influence. The rate of global change is quite rapid today; consequently, the emergence of global economies makes national economies, as well as strategies geared towards national economic management, irrelevant or entirely obsolete. Economic globalization has resulted in the proliferation of global economies, which surmount the powers held by national economies to influence economic occurrences within their national borders. Fundamentally, national economies are interdependent as they depend on the cross-border movement of capital, technology, and goods and services to facilitate growth and intensification (Giddens 2000, p. 157). In essence, the establishment of global economies is geared towards obliteration of deterrents to global trade, for instance, tariffs, taxes, and international trade regulations. This results in the occurrence of a single, global world market. In truly economic economies,...

...Question 1: The Municipal Corporation of a small college town decides to regulate rents in order to reduce student living expenses. Suppose the average annual market-clearing rent for a two bedroom apartment had been Rs.10000 per month, and rents were expected to increase to Rs.15000 within a year. The Municipal Corporation limits rents to their current Rs.10000-per-month level. Explain what will happen to the rental price of an apartment after the imposition of rent controls. Do you think this policy will benefit students? Why or why not? Answer: If the municipal corporation implements the policy to limit the rent and controls the rent to Rs1000, then it will be very beneficial to most of the students who already have rented the houses, although it will be a negative impact to the owners as they will not get the returns as per the existing price as they would not be allowed to increase the rent. This will be very beneficial for the students living expenses. However, there is a continuous inflow of students. The new student would not have accommodation available. There will be a shortage of apartments and the demand would be higher and eventually there will be very less apartments available for any new student. ------------------------------------------------- Hence we can conclude that some students will benefit from the regulation of rent and some students will not benefit and might end up without an accommodation. Question 2: Suppose you are the manager of a chain of...

...Issue: The main issue discussed in this research paper is to identify whether the cost used in taking decisions is relevant or irrelevant, and to choose between the best alternative which obtain a higher operating income than the other. Methodology A descriptive analytical approach was taken to conduct this study. Source of information: Secondary source of information was taken in account to collect relevant information about the topic - Secondary: Books, Article, website, references, other study. Findings: Relevant cost Relevant costs is “The costs appropriate to a specific management decision” A study of relevant costs and benefits helps make better decision They are future costs and revenues. – They are cash flows. – They are incremental costs and revenues. In order to qualify for relevancy, a cost must meet two criteria: (i) They affect the future and (ii) They differ among alternatives. Normally, the following are relevant Costs: Differential cost: A differential cost is the difference in cost items under two or more decision alternatives specifically two different projects or situations. Where same item with the same amount Appears in all alternatives, it is irrelevant Irrelevant cost: Sunk costs: are past costs. These cannot be changed with any future decision.. It is a sunk cost and therefore irrelevant to the decision. Measuring Relevant Costs and Revenues for Decision-Making: The Meaning of Relevance: The relevant costs and benefits...

...SCI-2000 Chapter 8 Assignment and Rubric Assignment: You know that colors look different when viewed indoors under fluorescent light and outdoors in sunlight. 1. Propose a hypothesis to explain why the colors look different under the different kinds of light. The colors would look different under a fluorescent lights due to the lower temperature and energy produced by the flourcent light, under sunlight which is much more powerful the colors under the fluorescent light would be much more colorful and bright compared to the sunlight which would absorb and wear out the colors. 2. Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Include in your design a. the experimental procedure you would use- I would use the procedure of putting different type of color materials outside under the sun for about an hour compared to the same color and same material under the fluorescent lights b. the materials you would need- I would use a white piece of paper, I would also use different color clothing such as the red, yellows, blacks, and whites. I would also use a camera to see if there would be anything I wouldn’t be able to see with the naked eye. c. the data you would collect- the data I would collect would be how the materials and piece of papers would look after the time frame of being under the lights. I would observe which one remains the same or which has dimmed within color. Would also see if the colors changed at all or if anything was absorbed by the materials...

...EFFECTS OF POPULAR MUSIC ON MEMORIZATION TASKS Running Head: Music and memorization Abstract This study investigated the effects that popular music has on memory performance. It was proposed that popular music would adversely affect both studying and memory recall. Forty introductory psychology students participated in the study. Subjects were given a list of fifty words to study in 6 ½ minutes, with music either being present or absent. This was termed the learning stage. In this study, four conditions were tested. In all 4 conditions, subjects were assigned to either a “music” pre-period or a “non-music” pre-period and a “music” post-period or a “non-music” post-period. After they had studied the words, subjects were given another 6 ½ minutes to recall the words either with or without music present. This period was called the recall stage. The researchers hypothesized that music would have a detrimental effect on performance, these expected results were not found. Findings from this study suggested that students who study while listening to popular music performed at the same level as those without music present in either condition. Results indicated that women excelled in recall when the testing condition did not have music present in comparison to men. Effects of popular music on memorization tasks The purpose of this study was to find whether popular music would have a positive or negative effect on memory tasks. There are many different perspectives...

...process, whilst this chapter focuses on the short-term. After studying this chapter you will be able to: Understand costs that are relevant to the decision-making process in different circumstances Demonstrate working knowledge of typical short-term decisions managers have to make and how financial data can support these decisions Recognise the issues of managing scarce recourses in decision making; and Appreciate the implications of outsourcing in a business context. 5.2 Relevant costs in decision making Relevant costing is a management accounting term and relates to focusing on only the costs relevant to a specific decision being made. It simplifies the decision-making process as it ignores cost data that is ‘irrelevant’, or will not have an impact on the specific decision being made. When making a particular decision-relevant costs are those that may change, depending on the decision taken. Relevant costing is often used in short-term decision making and a number of specific practical examples are illustrated later in this chapter. A typical decision could involve, a venue has been hired for a commercial event to take place in two weeks’ time, unfortunately ticket sales have been very slow and it looks as though the event will be run at a loss. The manager of the events company needs to make 69 5 Short-term Decision Making the decision: ‘Should the event be cancelled or not?’ from a financial perspective he would need to look at the...

... The dividend discount model tells us that the value of a firm is equal to the present value of its expected dividend payments. Some firms have never paid dividends and have no intention of doing so. Does this mean that these firms are worth nothing? Discuss with reference to academic research and theory. Answer 719 words Two schools about dividend policy: relevant dividend theory and irrelevant dividend theory The dividend discount model tells us the value of a firm is equal to the value of its expected dividend payments. The dividend discount model provides a means of developing an explicit expected return for the stock market. Elaborations on the simple dividend discount model provide an important tool for comparing relative values across a sample of individual stocks. [pic] V is the value of the stock. Dt is the expected dividend payment at the year t. K is the discount rate. Dividend policy has always been a baffling problem of financial management. In theoretical circles there are two schools about dividend policy: relevant dividend view and irrelevant dividend view. Relevant dividend view: Farrar, Salwyn and Gordon are representatives of this theory. Their theory is that company's dividend distribution has an impact on the value of the company. Dividend payment is not dispensable, but very necessary. It is an important strategy of a company. If the company’s choice of the dividend payment policy on the stock market changes , the company's capital...
