...Brand is the "name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller's product distinct from those of other sellers."[1] Brands are used in business, marketing, and advertising. Initially, livestock branding was adopted to differentiate one person's cattle from another's by means of a distinctive symbol burned into the animal's skin with a hot branding iron. A modern example of a brand is Coca Cola which belongs to the Coca-Cola Company. In accounting, a brand defined as an intangible asset is often the most valuable asset on a corporation's balance sheet. Brand owners manage their brands carefully to create shareholder value, and brand valuation is an important management technique that ascribes a money value to a brand, and allows marketing investment to be managed (e.g.: prioritized across a portfolio of brands) to maximize shareholder value. Although only acquired brands appear on a company's balance sheet, the notion of putting a value on a brand forces marketing leaders to be focused on long term stewardship of the brand and managing for value. The word "brand" is often used as a metonym referring to the company that is strongly identified with a brand. Marque or make are often used to denote a brand of motor vehicle, which may be distinguished from a car model. A concept brand is a brand that is associated with an abstract concept, likebreast cancer awareness or environmentalism, rather than a specific product, service, or business. A commodity brand is...

In 1986 AT&T found itself in a very different market from the one in which it had held a monopoly position during the 1970s. Competitors were pouring billions of dollars into new communications networks, with the result that AT&T’s strong technological advantage was narrowing and looked as if it would soon disappear. AT&T saw fierce price competition for telecommunications hardware and services in market areas where it had once reaped healthy profit margins. Traditional areas of AT&T’s business (telephone calls and telephone sets) were about to become low margin “commodity” businesses, where price...

As a junior member of your company’s committee to explore new markets, you have received a memo from the chairperson telling you to be prepared at the next meeting to discuss key questions that need to be addressed if the company decides to look further into the possibility of marketing BOP segment. The ultimate goal of this meeting will be to establish a set of general guidelines to use in developing a market strategy for any one of the company’s products to be marketed to the “aspirational poor.” These guidelines need not be company or product specific at this time. In fact, think of the final guideline as a checklist—a series of questions that a company could use as a start in evaluating the potential of a specific BOP market segment for one of its products. Israeli technology is on the leading edge in several fields in particular demand in developing countries, such as dry land agriculture, solar energy, water treatment and distance learning. In many of these fields, demand for new technologies in developing countries for technologies is growing at a much faster pace in developing country markets than in developed country markets. * Who is the BOP? * What is the income level of BOP? * What are some goods BOP save up money for? * What are causes of health concerns? * What is the current distribution method for goods? * What is the current method of...

...My RFP for this building is I will be wiring this entire building with Cat5e cable because it’s cheaper and better to use in a building like this. I will try and get the job done as quickly as possible; it probably will take me about 3 or 4 day to wire this building. I will provide all the labor, material, tools and equipment need for this job. Me and my team will do a great job on wiring your building and have it up in running in no time. I plan to have your Telco room in the back of the building in the left corner with all the theory rooms and labs surrounding it.

...Disabled passengers from BEAT 'The Barrier-Free Environment and Accessible Transport Group' protested against the airline for its refusal to fly passengers who were completely immobile.[12] The protesters, headed by the group's co-ordinator Christine Lee, asserted that the disabled were discriminated against when booking AirAsia tickets online, where an icon would appear on the website asking if the ticket purchaser would require “special assistance”. According to Lee, the passenger clicked 'yes', then they would not be able to proceed with the booking. Lee also said that AirAsia charged RM12 for renting out a wheelchair, which a passenger could use to go from the ticketing counter to the departure hall. When interviewed by Malaysia's Daily Express, AirAsia Chief Executive Officer Datuk Tony Fernandes denied that the low cost airline turned away wheelchair using passengers. He said, the airline's ground staff take the disabled to the aircraft and physically carry them onboard, "We do not even charge for this service and there is certainly no discrimination against them," he claimed.[13] AirAsia's 'Service Fees' post a charge of RM12 Malaysian Ringgit [14] for wheelchair service fees. Several consumerist groups have rallied behind the disabled and wheelchair-using travellers, lobbying to bring about changes in Malaysia's anti-discrimination legislation; among them the 'Fly Air Asia? Not Me' website [15] utilizes viral advertising to pressure legislators. In 2007 the activist group...

...CheckPoint: Knowing Where You Placed Your Document By: Juan C. Williams University of Phoenix- IT 206 Dr. Chris Barrett, PMP 07/28/2011 From my experience, many individuals when saving a document save their documents into any random folder that comes up. Unfortunately this is cause for misplaced documents when trying to locate them at a later date. Thankfully, there are many helpful ways to locate recently saved documents. One step would be to click on the Office button which is located at the top left of your Microsoft Word document, and once the box drops down to the right-side panel will be the top nine recently saved documents. A quick reference would be to click Save and that will take you straight to your default Save designated folder. There are some various ways which have been utilized to lessen the routinely misplaced saved documents which will ultimately make it effortless to locate your recent and/or old files. First, you should create a title for your document, something that you will easily remember in the future to be able to locate it. Now if the document is important, it is best to save it in an accessible file such as your “My Documents” folder or your desktop. One recommendation would be to create a New Folder for example “School” that way you can create a less cluttered work space which will Inevitably help you end up locating files quicker. It is understandable to be in a hurry to save, but, in order to create...

...Japanese companies. In one of my meetings, the client personally submitted an original application for online banking to me. There was no receiving copy. After going back to the office, I forwarded to my assistant for processing. My assistant, who has also become my friend over time, is well known for numerous errors and oversights. During the same week, we were cleaning up our area and shredding unnecessary and old documents. After a few weeks, the application was already missing. After finding out that the documents were missing, I was faced with the dilemma of either completely blaming my assistant as solely accountable for losing the documents or taking responsibility for my subordinate and informing my boss that our team lost the document. FACTS A. An original application form was personally submitted to me by a client with no receiving copy. After going back to the office, I forwarded to my assistant for processing. Since I got back late in the afternoon, the documents were included in our logbook for “Overnight Pending Items” which were kept at our main vault. B. My assistant is known for making a lot of errors and oversights.

...workflow. CHALLENGES AFFECTING KEY STAKEHOLDERS The processes currently being used at Simple Getaways for communication and the distribution of information are no longer suitable for the organization. Documents from each office are stored onsite on a Microsoft Windows file server, making it difficult for other offices to access and use the information they contain. Currently the method used to share files with other offices is via email. This results in multiple copies of the same document residing on various computers at multiple office locations. The duplicate versions are not updated when the original document is modified which leads to different versions of the same document being used. Some business decisions are being made using information from the outdated documents. For example, a document containing airline ticket pricing may be used when creating price quotes for customer travel, but the price for airline tickets fluctuates regularly. If these inaccurate prices were used in a quote, the company has the potential to lose money on the transaction and may be obligated to fulfil the terms of the quote even though it was based on incorrect information. Additionally, when a document is shared between multiple offices and they each make alterations and return the document, the...
