...BS(accounting & finance) 14 – 07 3rd SEMESTER ASSIGNMENT OF MARKETING (LOGITECH MOUSE) SUBMITTED TO: Sir. Shahzaibe Q 1. Do you think that the competition of Logitech with Microsoft is fair? Discuss. ANS. Yes according to my opinion I think the competition of Logitech with Microsoft is fair because we all know that the Microsoft is market leader and it is also known king of the jungle or Logitech started by small company. In past, They were nothing in front of Microsoft but now Logitech focuses on his work and makes every variation of mouse imaginable and now serves different products like: • Key – boards • Gaming controllers • PC speakers • Headsets • Cooling Pads etc. Now, in PC mouse market, Logitech competes head – on with Microsoft. At first glance, it looks like an unfair contest. With more than $58 billion in sales, Microsoft is nearly 30 times bigger than $2.2 billion Logitech. But when it comes to mice and other peripherals, Logitech has a depth of focus and knowledge that no other company in the world including Microsoft can match. Q 2. What can you say about the strength of Logitech? ANS. Logitech has a depth of focus and knowledge that no other company in the world including Microsoft...

...company’s adaptive and innovative product marketing and its expansive portfolio based on the responsive needs of national organizations. However, Phillips, has faced extreme volatility over the past 50 years due to a lack of innovation, low employee morale, loss of focus of core competencies, and a global recession. On the other hand, Matsushita success can be largely contributed to the company’s efficient and low cost production, synergy, and competitive divisions that encourage innovation. However, Matsushita also experienced volatility due to a lack of innovation, a global recession, and the addition of a major supply glut and price collapse. 2. The concepts from the assigned chapter can help us understand how Philips and Matsushita might develop a strategy that will focus on long term success. The concepts from the chapter discuss terms such as “administrative heritage” or the idea that a company’s existing configuration cannot be changed overnight. And one of the most important lessons for management is to build and leverage their company’s existing capabilities rather than emulating another company’s strategic capabilities in order to be more responsive in a constantly changing world. 3. My strategic recommendation for Philips is to maintain its strong international presence yet remain centralized; create joint ventures before entering new territories to gain market acceptance; develop new labs to innovate new products; and focus on one major product line rather than...

...The main focus of this article was on two different types of cheating. The 2 types were planned cheating and the panic cheating; they compared and tested both in online learning and Traditional classroom setting. They also listed the differences between the online classroom and the traditional classroom. The steps one would take to prevent planned cheating are to have more confidence in oneself when writing papers, also having enough time to complete the assignments on time. As for steps for the panic cheating it was concluded that this form of cheating did exist in online learning as this practice is more reserved for the classroom setting For the second article I used academic honesty as the keyword in my article search. The title of the second article was: The culture of cheating: from the classroom to the exam room. The authors were Danielsen RD; Simon AF; Pavlick R. This article was published in March of 2006. No there was not a peer-review done on the paper. I found this article using the EBSCOhost database The focus of this article is on all different types of cheating. To list a few of the different types: Copying from another student during an examination, copying a paper from a file or from a purchased paper and presenting it as original work, asking another student for the answers to an examination question, purchasing or receiving notes from a fellow student and using material from another student's paper without giving bibliographic credit.

...who are determined and motivated to continue their studies despite of their undesirable situation. They are trying hard in their studies for them to avail scholarships available in different colleges and universities programmed for deserving students but others unluckily did not avail due to limited slots given. How these students continue with their quest living with quality of life? Are there any options available for them? The most common phrase we heard from common people is: we can continue with our studies later but this time we have to work first, let’s be practical. The focus of today’s students is to enroll for one or two years then apply for work because the minimum requirements is college level but soon they will realize how important is education and most probably the realization came in late of their lives, that’s the real thing. People spend too much in shorter plans and they did not focus on the longer one. Parents also lacks of motivation for them to encourage their students to continue. Why?... because they didn’t have it during their time. So, this time what can we do to resolve this kind of situation? What if there are lots of students who are determined to pursue their dreams. Can they sustain their studies until they have it? It has been observed here in Consolacion Community College since its opening on 2010 that there are lots of students who are poor but deserving students who are willing to...

...Methods of the Ssu-Ma (author unknown) both focus a lot on a sort of “code” for warriors during warfare. My question is what is the best way to raise troops? These two readings explain different answers to my question, but to answer it myself I would say the best way to raise troops would be to not focus solely on things such as strength or marksmanship, but to focus also on the mindset of a troop and how to pull through in times of difficulty and how to respect warfare and their unit and how to face fear and overcome obstacles. Taira Shigesuke writes about how, first and foremost, a warrior should consider it his first concern to keep death in mind at all times. But you don’t just have a duty to the military; you have to fulfill your loyalty to your family as well. Unlike the warrior ways described in the Ssu-Ma, Samurai warriors focused day and night on their duties as a warrior, whether they were a farmer, or merchant, etc. They always carried a sword with them as to always be prepared and keep death in mind at all times. Education was not important early on, and even 12 and 13 year olds were learning martial arts instead of focusing on becoming literate. Their sole focus was the way of a warrior. Now, however, those born in the present era focus on literature and reading and writing from the time they are seven or eight in times of peace. A big difference between the Ssu-Ma and the code of the Samurai is how much the Samurai focus on their familial duties. They are taught...

...with authority, there could be many challenges. Challenges refer to some different thoughts which are happened between the superiors and the subordinates. The dilemma is whether do as what the boss told or follow the original heart. This dilemma is the main focus of Tom and Frank’s case study, ‘Challenge the boss or stand down?’ (2011). ‘Challenge the boss or stand down?’ concerns a general issue in the company D7 Displays. A rising star Tom challenged his new boss Frank in the public, and they have different opinions. Tom is facing the dilemma which may lose his job, and he has to choose a better method to solve this issue. As a diligent employee, Tom wants to do his best and gain reliance from his boss. He argues that the airline kiosk business is hurting by the web service and the only way to compete is developing the kiosk-based services which could make profit or provide more benefits. However, Frank, who is his new boss, is firmly holding the different opinion. Frank points out that the airline kiosk business presents a mature market and clients will not resign it. In addition, the hotels and car rental markets are wide open, and the company should develop these areas. Frank asserts that Tom was out of line and focus on the part not belongs to him. Advice about this dilemma is given by two experts, Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor from Stanford University and Paul Falcone, president of human resources at Time Warner Cable. Both of these experts consider that Tom should...

...accumulated overtime (mostly through habit), in part two, (here on working with a ‘liberated’ voice); to go through a developmental process which focuses on range and power (viz. the ‘resonating ladder’), in part three; to turn focus to the breathing apparatus and thereby develop an awareness and sensitivity to different ‘areas of breath’ in the body and, in part four; to bridge the connection of this work to text and acting. Through this approach, Linklater states that the general aim of the book is to “present a lucid view of the voice in the general context of human communication and to provide a series of exercises to free, develop and strengthen the voice – first as a human instrument, then as the human actor’s instrument” (Linklater, p 1). This essay will summarize some of the major points of the book, offer briefs descriptions of some of the exercises and determine whether this book could be useful to the aspiring actor who is interested in learning more about the craft of voice and speech. Linklater claims that the particular approach of this book is something that has evolved over a number of years and is largely the result of the work of Iris Warren; a pioneer in the science of voice production because of his emphasis on turning the focus of voice work from external physiological knowledge to internal psychological understanding. Though heavily influenced by Warren, Linklater’s book also draws...

...Organizational Focus and Goals HRM/326 Organizational Focus and Goals Every organization has a unique set of goals that influence its overall culture. In my case, I work for a company that was recently formed in 2010 and they are working towards establishing firm corporate values. As the company grows and hires new employees, it will have a profound impact on culture. Therefore, the company will need to be very agile and adaptable when it comes to an organizational focus. The goal of this paper is to analyze the employee training needs of my company and determine the implications of overachieving these goals. Because the company has limited financial resources, it will need to keep careful balance between employee development and profitability. Organization’s Current Focus and Overarching Goals The overall focus of my organization is to the future considering that we made it through the first two years, and the future is to get more of the market share not by lowering pricing but to show better customer service and improve are ordering processes.

...a leader needs because clear instructions and messages are very important to followers. An unclear instruction can lead a business to have a failed contract negotiation. The control of emotions is important to a leader as it shows that the leader is able to keep calm and clear-headed. I do not have the full control of my emotions. I do not like to have a room-filled people's attention, as I get flustered. When I get flustered, I start to sweat, be unable to stay still, lose track of what I am about to say, and unable to maintain focus. When those demeanor shows up, to my mind, I look like a guilty person who committed a crime in a police interrogation. A good leader would be able to stay and maintain the calmness during any time of crisis. Calmness is very crucial to make rational decisions that can affect the business' seamless operation. Another quality in a leader I lack is charisma. I do not have the charm to keep people in focus nor attention. Being able to attract and keep people's attention is valuable to a leader. It can help tremendously convincing people to the leader's goals or direction. With more support, a leader can be more successful in making business decisions. To make myself a better leader I need to make myself more comfortable having the attention of the room. To do so I can participate more or speak up when I have a counter argument to the topic at hand. With...
