...UVA-C-2292 Feb. 3, 2009 JOHNSON BEVERAGE, INC. As president and primary owner of Johnson Beverage, Inc. (JBI), Jack Johnson was beginning to realize that retaining long-term customers was becoming a challenge. During a delivery run yesterday, driver Joe Stevens had noticed a competitor’s sales manager talking with the general manager of Saver Superstore, one of JBI’s largest customers. Then, that morning, Johnson’s sales manager, Marsha Ketchum, had mentioned that, during her visit with the same general manager on Wednesday, he was starting to make some noises about wanting to negotiate a lower price. This could cause a dilemma because this customer had been one of the company’s largest and most loyal customers for years. Johnson leaned back in his chair. These things always seemed to come up on Friday— just in time to monopolize his thoughts over what otherwise would have been a restful weekend. Deciding to address the situation head-on, he scheduled a meeting with Stevens, Ketchum, and several others for later that afternoon. Company Background JBI distributed beverages to retail customers. The company had been in business for two decades and had become a preferred distributor among several retail outlets in the local area. JBI primarily distributed bottled sports drinks made by small specialty beverage companies, and its business had grown steadily with the popularity of sports drinks over the past 10 to 20 years. Last year, JBI’s revenues totaled $12 million. The...

...Felicia Jones May 2, 2011 History of Nabisco Incorporated Nabisco Food Groups has been one of the widely known names in the food industry. Nabisco is among the world’s largest manufacturers of cookies and crackers. Nabisco Brands was formed in 1981 through a merger of Nabisco and Standard Brands. In 1985 R.J. Reynolds Industries acquired Nabisco brands in one of the largest takeovers in business history. In earlier years the company was called N.B.C. In 1941 the company took on the name Nabisco, but it was in 1971 when the name became the official corporate name. The National Biscuit Company resulted from a merger in 1898 of the midwestern American Biscuit Company whom is a result of a merger of 40 midwestern bakeries, and the eastern New York Biscuit Company, formed from eight bakeries and a smaller firm, The United States Baking Company. The company had 114 bakeries and a capital of $55. The company held a monopoly on cookie and cracker manufacturing in the United States. The first chairman of the new company was Adolphus Green. Green was a Chicago lawyer and businessman who had negotiated the American Biscuit Company merger during the first 20 years of its existence. N.B.C. developed products that could be nationally identified with the company. All of its merchandise was marked with the company’s distinctive emblem: an oval topped by a cross with two bars, which represented the triumph of good...

...Strategic Audit of Starbucks Traci Hall Jones College Business Policy and Administration Professor E. Smith June 20, 2011 I. Current Situation A. Current Performance Starbucks is the fastest growing food chain and shows no signs of slowing down. it plans to boost earnings by 20% to 25% annually over the next three to five years and to bring its number of storefronts to 40,000 worldwide which is 10,000 more than McDonald’s. Starbucks is conservative in how it finances its goals. Operating cash flow from existing stores pays for new-store development. So far, the return on new stores has been excellent. Increasing same-store sales has been a tougher order, though, and Chairman Howard Schultz has expressed worries that moves to improve same-store sales with automatic equipment and off-brand merchandise could be turning consumers off. The return on investment (ROI) for Starbucks in 2010 was 22.50%. The market share was $27.33 billion while the profitability was at 30.4% (Donald, 2007). B. Strategic Posture Starbucks has an impressive mission statement because it addresses their product as a whole and their mission for different relationships. “The Starbucks Mission Statement-To inspire and nurture the human spirit - one person, one cup, and one neighborhood at a time. Here are the principles of how we live that every day: Our Coffee-It has always been, and will always be, about quality.

...reports that, “More than five million high schoolers binge drink at least once a month.” As a Floridian who lives near one of the 'Spring Break" hot spots, this comes as no great shock. I guess there are a lot of parents out there who are surprised by these numbers and yet, what were they doing in college or when the drinking age was 18? How do you expect your kid to just say no, when you said yes not that long ago? Talk to your teenagers and be honest with them! ~ Amy. RN ~ [pic] While some national surveys have documented a significant decline in the use of other drugs by high school seniors and college-age youths, there have been only small declines in the numbers reporting binge drinking. Teenagers and young adults drink alcoholic beverages at about the same rates they did 5 years ago. Binge drinking increases the risk for alcohol-related injury, especially for young people, who often combine alcohol with other high-risk activities, such as impaired driving. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the four leading injury-related causes of death among youths under the age of 20 are motor vehicle crashes, homicides, suicides, and drowning. Alcohol is involved in many of these deaths. Sexual encounters with their risks of pregnancy, STDs, and HIV exposure, as well as date rape and other violence, can and do occur more frequently while students are consuming large amounts of alcohol by binge drinking. Binge drinking, or the partying lifestyle of young people...
